Grace Note

Ythaniel delos Reyes is the campus heartthrob. Tahimik, seryoso, at laging inuuna ang pamilya at pag-aaral. He rarely talks, but he has a soft spot for one person: his step-sister, Ashannah Zacharias. Ashannah is his total opposite, magulo, masayahin, at tila laging sinusundan ng malas. Trouble seems to find her, kahit anong iwas niya. Mabait siya, pero parang may sumpa. And every time may gulo, si Ythaniel ang laging sumasalo. Hindi sila tunay na magkapatid, pero may natural na koneksyon sa pagitan nila. He’s always there for her, whether it’s a late-night rescue, school drama, or family conflict. At si Ashannah? Sa kahit maliit na bagay, si Ythaniel agad ang takbuhan niya. Hanggang sa dumating ang puntong hindi na lang “kuya” ang tingin niya sa kanya. At si Ythaniel? Hindi na lang basta “kapatid” ang turing niya kay Ashannah. They didn’t plan it. They didn’t want it. But they fell in love. Mali sa paningin ng iba. Bawal sa mata ng pamilya. Pero totoo sa puso nila. Will they fight for their love or choose peace for the sake of family? Can love survive when the world sees it as wrong? This is a story of forbidden love—between two hearts brought under one roof, not to fall in love… but did. --- DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction.

Isang kasunduan na bumago sa buhay ni Grace. Akala niya ay siyam na buwan niya lang dadalhin ang bata sa sinapupunan niya ngunit hindi niya pa man nagagawang ilabas ang bata ay sunod-sunod na ang pasabog ang malalaman niya.

Nakakabulag ang pag-ibig at hindi natin minsan mahinuha ang kayang abutin nito. Isa si Aia sa nasilo ng pakiramdam na ito.

Sa lihim na pagtingin ng CEO kay Aia ay hindi na niya mapigilan ang bugso ng damdamin, dito ay natagpuan niya ang sariling walang saplot katabi ng kanyang amo. Sobrang sakit ng ulo niya nang maalala niya ang mga maiinit na tagpong pinagsaluha nila nung gabing yaon. Tinitigan niya ang maamong mukha ng lalaki at inilapit ang labi sa ilong nito. Napaluha siya at agad na bumangon ng kama para pulutin ang mga damit na walang pigil na inalis ng lalaki mula sa kanyang katawan. Gulong gulo ang utak na lumabas ng silid, tinakasan niya ang lalaking kaulayaw niya kagabi. Ang daming tumatakbo sa utak niya. Hindi niya alam kung paano haharapin ang kanyang amo. Nag-iwan ito ng note bilang tanda ng pag-alis niya sa trabaho, "This will serve as my last day, sir."

'Teka lang?' Are you sure that's really 'teka lang?" Napayuko na lang siya dahil sa pagalit na natanong ng lalaki. Halatang napipikon na sa kaniya. Inilapit pa nito ang mukha sa kaniya para iparamdam sa kaniya ang inis nito at nagsalita, "Remember, I paid a hefty 10.5 million at the auction just to purchase you. You wouldn't have even set foot in that auction if you hadn't given your consent. So now that you're under my ownership, don't think you can fool me with your usual 'teka lang, sir' tactics kasi kabisado ko na 'yan." Para siyang tinanggalan ng utak na nakatunganga sa pinagsasabi nito na ang tanging naintindihan lang ay ang salitang, 'kabisado ko na 'yan.' Ano naman ang alam niya sa English kasi tulog naman siya lagi sa subject na iyon noong nag-aaral pa siya. Para naman huminahon ito, nagsalita na lang siya. "Ahm...wag ka na magalit sir, maghuhugas lang naman ako. Ayaw mo naman ng mabaho, diba?"
