Girl friday sa umaga, estudyante sa gabi. Ganyan ang ikot ng buhay ni Samantha Bautista araw-araw. Pangarap niyang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral upang lalong matustusan ang pangangailangan nila ng nanay niyang maysakit. Wala sa mga priority niya ang pag-ibig subalit may secret crush siya sa bagong CEO ng kanilang kumpanya na si Aaron Miguel Sandejas. Isang gabing lasing si Aaron, sadyang nagtagpo ang kanilang landas at nalagay sila sa isang sitwasyon na nagpangyari upang kusa niyang isuko ang sarili sa lalaki. Pangyayari na nagresulta sa kanyang pagdadalang-tao. Napilitan si Samantha na itago ang kanyang kalagayan. Kasabay niyon ang kanyang pagbabagong-buhay nang matuklasan niya ang lihim sa kanyang tunay na pagkatao. Apat na taon ang nakalipas, muling nagtagpo ang landas nila ni Aaron. This time, hindi na niya ito boss, kundi isa na sa mga kliyente sa events planning company na pag-aari niya. Ikakasal na ang lalaki at siya ang events planner para sa engagement party at nalalapit na kasal nito. Ayos lang sana siya, kaya niyang magpanggap na wala nang epekto sa kanya ang presensiya nito. Kaso, kahit na anong tanggi niya, panay ang tanong nito sa kanya ng, “Have we met before?” Aaminin ba si Samantha? O maninindigan siya na hindi niya ito kilala at hindi bunga ang isang gabing pinagsaluhan nila na hanggang ngayon, tila hindi nito maalala.

Pagkasakay na pagkasakay ni Samantha sa kanyang sasakyan, agad siyang lumarga patungo sa law office ng asawa niya. Aaron’s law office is just a fifteen-minute drive away from her office. Kaya naman, mabilis lang talaga niya iyong mararating. Itinuloy ni Aaron ang law office nito na puro pro-bono cases ang tinatanggap. Her husband is at SSL in the morning and spends his afternoons in there. Some of Aaron’s lawyer friends are there too, joining his cause. Aaron is not just a loving and caring husband and father to their childern, he’s a lawyer with a good heart too. Pride rose in her chest at the thought. Ilang sandali pa, narating na niya ang opisina ni Aaron. Hapon na subalit marami pa rin tao sa law office, all waiting for their turn to talk to one of the lawyers there. Agad siyang dumiretso sa opisina ni Aaron. Agad itong tumayo sa upuan nito nang makita siya. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and ushered her towards the leat
Mabilis na inayos ni Samantha ang portfolio ng Charlie Elizabeth Events na nakabuklat sa ibabaw ng mesa. She just finished talking to a walk-in client in their private office. The meeting went smoothly. The bride really knows what she likes and how she liked the wedding would be. She just suggested a few things that would make her client’s wedding extra special.It has been two years now since she had reopened Charlize Elizabeth Events. After her and Aaron’s magical break of dawn wedding in Oregon went viral because Mandy had posted it on their company’s social media page, clients from all over the world flooded them with queries—all wanting to have a magical wedding too assisted by their company.And because she cannot miss the opportunity to go back to the events business, not just for her but also for her former employees, she was forced to reopen Charlize Elizabeth Events once they came back to the country after her and Aaron’s short v
Nang marahan siyang hilahin ni Charlie patungo sa makeshift aisle, kusa nang nagpatangay si Samantha. There were still many emotions coursing through her. But her mind is clear on only thing—at the end of that road she was walking on, there, her forever happiness with Aaron awaits. She walked and started to give thankful gazes to her friends and Aaron’s family who were all present. She still cannot wrap her head around the very fact that she really is getting married today. Kung paano nagawang itago ni Aaron sa kanya ang pagpaplano at paghahanda sa kasal nilang iyon, hindi niya alam. Mukhang halatang kinakuntsaba nito ang lahat ng mga mahahalagang tao sa buhay nila at ni isa walang bumigay para magsabi sa kanya nang totoo. Not even when she was in an all-out state of panic yesterday. But she is more than glad that all their closest friends and family were all there with them as their witnesses. Oh her heart was so full she could burst!
Naalimpungatan si Samantha dahil sa marahang pagyugyog sa kanyang balikat. Nang magmulat siya, mukha ni Bettina ang nabungaran niya.“Mabuti naman at gising ka na, mahal na prinsesa ng kanyang ama,” anito bago tumuwid ng tayo at humalukipkip.“T-Tina?” she asked in a hoarse voice as she fix herself up on the seat. Agad niyang nilingon si Charlie sa tabi niya, subalit wala roon ang anak niya. “S-si Charlie?” nag-aalalang tanong niya sa kaibigan.“H’wag kang mag-alala. Nasa mabubuting mga kamay ang maganda kong inaanak,” paniniguro ni Bettina sa kanya, umupo pa sa katapat na upuan niya.Nagsalubong na ang mga kilay niya. Naguguluhan niyang ipinagala ang mga mata sa loob ng plane. Wala na ang mga kasama nila, silang dalawa na lang ni Bettina ang naiwan doon. Taranta siyang sumilip sa labas ng bintana ng plane. It’s still dark outside and they are not flying anymore.&ldquo
Samantha took a deep breath as she boarded the private plane that will take her and the rest of her and Aaron’s family to Oregon.Kanina, habang naghahanda sila ni Charlie ng ilang gamit na dadalhin nilang mag-ina, hindi maampat-ampat ang luha niya.There were a lot of things that were going on in her mind. And not just simple things, but awful scenarios that kept sending her to the edge of worry and confusion. Kung hindi lang niya inisiip na baka maapektuhan sa pag-iiyak niya ang batang nasa sinapupunan niya, baka hindi pa rin maayos ang huwisyo niya ngayon.Honestly, she’s still not okay. She knew one small push and she’ll go back to crying once again. Why wouldn’t she? Aaron is missing—taken to some place she doesn’t know!Kung paano ito nakuha ng mga taong dumukot dito, hindi niya alam. One time he’s there with her and the next time he’s already taken away from her! At sobra siyang na
Samantha helped Charlie stand up on the chair as her daughter readied herself to blow the candles of her three-tier fairy themed cake. Nakaalalay naman sa kabilang gilid nito si Aaron, carefully instructing their daughter on how to blow the rows of candles with just one blow.Today after a few weeks of delay, natuloy din ang 4th birthday party ni Charlie. Charlie wasn’t really interested in having a birthday party anymore but Madam Liza insisted that her daughter needs to have one. And so after many times of persuasion, Charlie finally picked the perfect theme for her party—fairyland. And she had spent the last few days preparing everything for her daughter’s event. This is the first time that Charlie would be celebrating her birthday with a big crowd and she wanted it to be a very special experience for her daughter. That’s why she personally coordinated everything, from the caterer, the event stylist, down to the party sets to be dis
Aaron gently placed a bunch of flowers at the tomb in front of him. It has been two years ago since he last visited there personally. Not that he didn’t want too. But he respects the De Herreras so much that he prevented himself to visit Monique’s grave knowing that they are putting the blame on him with her unexpected demise.“The one who did this to you is already dead. He killed himself. Not exactly the punishment I really wanted for him to have but… his death was more than enough payment for all of his sins.” He took in a sharp breath—trying to rein in his emotions.Dala pa rin niya sa kunsensiya niya ang nangyari kay Monique na lalo lang pinagtibay ng confession ni Gregory. Kahit na ilang beses na silang nag-usap ni Sam tungkol doon, at kahit na anong pag-aalo ang gawin nito, hindi pa rin niya maalis sa isip niya that it was because of Gregory’s hate towards him and his family that was the cause of Mon
Samantha silently reached for Aaron’s hands as they sat on the chairs designated for jail visitors. She can sense that he is getting impatient that's why she did that.They will be meeting with Kristine today. And though Aaron was still having second thoughts about him meeting with Kristine, she, on the other hand, was ready to face Kristine.In fact, it was her idea to finally meet with Kristine today. She wanted to do it for closure. Because after Kristine had pleaded guilty during her own arraignment, there would be no reason for them to her ever again.Isang linggo na ang lumipas matapos ang libing ni Gregory. Maliban sa ilang tapat na taga-silbi, ni wala sa mga malalayong kamag-anak at business associates ang dumalo sa lamay nito. Matapos kasi nitong makulong dahil sa ginawa nitong pag-kidnap sa kanilang dalawa ni Charlie, naglabasan na rin ang iba’t-ibang kaso na may kaugnayan kay Gregory Sto. Domingo. Kasama na roon a
