Close The Books Novels & Stories

Lumipas ang mga linggo at naging buwan. Nagbago na ang buhay ni Zan. Hindi na siya katulad dati na tumatanggap ng kahit anong schedule, kahit sino ang customer. Ngayon... closed na ang booking niya. Para na lamang sa babaeng nakamaskara.

Ang cute lang. "Sige kuya. Enjoy po." Umalis na siya. Kanina pa sana ako makakaalis dito kung nagreply kaagad ang investor. Kailangan ko kasing e confirm. Malapit nang mag alas syete nang wala pa rin. So, I had to close my computer. Bukas ko na lang ito tatrabahuin ulit. Inexcercize ko ang kamay ko dahil mukhang namamanhid na. Kamusta na kaya iyong sugat. Sana hindi magdugo ulit. Ang hapdi kasi pagmag-aaply ng alcohol. Bwesit talaga iyon!

It was the final stretch of the trading week, and the financial district was bracing for the ultimate showdown. Inside the trading floor of Zane’s independent firm, the tension was palpable. Monitors flashed with real-time analytics as the countdown to the 3:00 PM closing bell began. Zane stood in the center of the room, his sleeves rolled up, watching the Villanueva Group’s stock charts like a hawk. He had successfully orchestrated a massive market recovery, bringing the family’s valuation back to a stable baseline. He was just hours away from completely fulfilling his secret agreement with his father.

Hindi ba niya naisip na wala akong isusuot? "Oh? Pagkatapos mo mag book ng reservation, dumulog ka ng kwarto—open the fourth closet, may makikita kang casual roon—iyon ang susuutin mo for dinner later. I'll see you around, may tatapusin lang ako. Use my laptop; passcode 062224."

sagot niya. “Ibig sabihin, kapag na-finalize ang figures at na-approve ang settlement, considered closed na ang project sa magkabilang panig.” “Correct. Walang pending obligations at wala nang pending further claims.” “Kung ganoon, upon execution ng settlement at release ng final payment, fully and finally settled na ang lahat ng matters.” “Confirmed. We will treat this as full project closeout.” “We will document this accordingly.” “Agreed. The project is officially closed.”

‘Just one more year before our contract ends, and I promise that I’ll come back with a ring to put on your fourth finger. Bago pa magising ang dalaga ay agad na siyang lumabas ng silid para bumili ng makakain. Kahit wala pang ligo ito ay hindi naman halata dahil mukha naman s’yang mabangong tignan. Jace went to his brother’s room and saw him still sleeping like a prince, so he immediately closed the door and left.

At nahihimigan niya ang inis. "I just said it, didn't I? Sinabi kong nawalan ako ng gana—" "The itinerary and accommodation have been booked and paid in full. Sapat bang dahilan na nawalan ka ng gana para i-forfeit ang halagang ibinayad natin sa mga iyon?"

banta ni Krvin at dinukot sng teleponi matapa upatong sa sa center table ang dalawang paa. "Hello Yes, mag request lang ako ng close account. Hmm yes yung debit accont ko sana. Yes paki assist. Paki close yes asap" sabi ni Kevin "What that kuya?ipinapa -close mo ang Atm ko? Thats unfair!!" sabi ni Kenzo. "Yes unfair nga ako at ito pa mas magiging unfair ako" dumayal muli sa teleponi si Kevin at maya maya ay may kausap na.

Malawak at malinis. Nagdire-diretso siya ng lakad hanggang sa kaniyang bookshelf. May hinugot siyang libro doon. "Ano'ng gagawin mo? Babasahan mo ako ng bedtime stories?" Mahina siyang natawa. Pinasok niya ang kaniyang kamay sa siwang kung saan niya kinuha ang libro. Napasinghap ako nang gumalaw ang shelf. Nahati ito sa gitna. Isa itong pinto! At sa likod niya ay isa pang pinto!

S'ya pa rin. "Hi, Ma'am Ganda! Ano po ang paipaglilingkod ko sa inyo?" he asked once he noticed my approach with his usual huge smile as he leaned onto the counter. "Ba't walang tao?" I immediately asked, he turned his head around, wandering his gaze before he let out a chuckle. "Kanina pa five thirty nagclose ang resort--" My forehead creased at his words. "Ay I mean, for the day. Pinasara na ni Sir, para maaga daw kami makapag-pahinga."
