Niño Adorable Del Ex

***The cover is taken from Google*** I wince when my bangles dig into my skin,forcing a smile,hoping my boredom didn't show in my movements. I inwardly roll my eyes when my father makes introductions. What lame crap. They obviously know each other. Why make intros? I hiss when my sister steps on my foot,making me looking up. I glance at a middle aged couple, freezing when I made eye contact with an all too familiar grinning face, my vision landing next to her, hoping it was just a bad dream, my heart stopping and finally turning into an icicle when I stared into eyes of the most unexpected person, the person looking back at me, but not quite acknowledging me.

"ระหว่างเรามันก็ชัดเจนมาตลอดนะ ลืมข้อตกลงวันแรกแล้วเหรอ" "..." "แค่พี่ดีด้วยไม่ได้แปลว่าพี่จะรักเธอ" "แต่ว่าหนูรักพี่ธีร์นะคะ หนูไม่เคยรู้สึกแบบนี้กับใครเลย พี่เป็นคนแรกของหนู เป็นคนแรกในทุกเรื่อง เป็นคนที่อยู่กับหนูในเวลาที่หนูเศร้า หนูรักพี่นะพี่ธีร์ นอกจากรวินท์ก็มีพี่ที่ทำให้หนูอยากมีชีวิตอยู่ต่อบนโลกใบนี้ หนูรักพี่จริง ๆ นะ" "อืม แล้วยังไง" เขาเอ่ยด้วยสีหน้าเรียบนิ่ง เขาดูไม่ได้ใส่ใจในสิ่งที่ฉันพูดออกมาอย่างยากลำบาก เขาไม่ใส่ใจมันเลย "พี่ธีร์...รู้สึกกับหนูบ้างหรือเปล่าคะ ที่ผ่านมาเคยรู้สึกดีกับหนูไหมคะ" "เหมือนว่าพี่จะเคยบอกเธอแล้วนะว่ารู้สึกกับพี่เท่าไหร่ก็ได้ รักพี่พี่ก็ไม่ว่า แต่ว่าพี่จะไม่รับผิดชอบความรู้สึกของเธอ ฉะนั้นอย่ามาเรียกร้องในสิ่งที่พี่ให้เธอไม่ได้" "..." "อย่าลืมสิว่าเธอเป็นแค่เด็กเลี้ยงของพี่เท่านั้น เธอก็แค่ของเล่น พี่ชอบหน่อยก็เล่นนาน แต่ว่าตอนนี้พี่เริ่มไม่อยากเล่นแล้วสิ"

Hindi maipaliwanag ni Jasmine Arriola ang kaba at tuwang naramdaman nang ianunsyo na pansamantala siyang magiging secretary ng Ninong slash Boss niya. Sa kabila ng pagiging fresh graduate, pakiramdam niya ay isang malaking oportunidad ito. Si Alejandro Pascaul II ay hindi lang CEO ng malaking kompanya sa bansa—kundi matalik na kaibigan rin ng kanyang mga magulang. Hindi maikakaila ang karisma nito. Matangkad, laging maayos manamit, at may presensiyang kay hirap balewalain. Kaya kahit hindi sadya, napapatanong si Jasmine kung bakit nananatiling binata ang tulad nitong lalaki. At ngayong magkakatrabaho na sila, hindi niya naiwasang samantalahin ang pagkakataong mapalapit dito. Pero habang lumilipas ang mga araw, unti-unting nahuhuli ng kanyang mata ang mga panakaw na tingin nito. May kung anong bigat at lalim sa bawat titig. Hindi niya alam kung ganoon lang ba talaga ito tumingin sa lahat, o sadyang may nais itong iparating—sa kanya lang.

“Pipay!” galit na sigaw ng aking madrasta mula sa kanyang silid habang abala sa pag-aayos ng kanyang mukha. Halos magputok ang ugat sa kanyang leeg, na para bang ako ang dahilan ng lahat ng problema niya sa buhay. “Bakit po, Madam?” mahinahon kong sagot habang tuloy sa paglalampaso ng sahig. “Madam”—iyon ang itinawag niya sa akin mula pa noong una, at dahil sa takot, hindi ko na rin inusisa kung bakit. Ako nga pala si Piazza Fontana Vega, o mas kilala bilang Pipay. Dalawampu’t dalawang taong gulang na ako, ngunit hanggang Grade 5 lang ang naabot ko. Natigil ako sa pag-aaral noong mag-asawa muli ang aking ama. Simula noon, naging parang alipin na ako ng aking madrasta. Araw-araw, pareho lang ang eksena sa bahay. Ako ang gumagawa ng lahat ng gawain habang si Madam at ang kanyang anak na si Claire ay nag-e-enjoy sa luho ng buhay. Pero kahit ganoon, may lihim akong pangarap. Minsan, sa mga tahimik na gabi, iniisip ko kung darating ba ang araw na makakawala ako sa ganitong sitwasyon. “PIPAY!” muling sigaw ng aking madrasta, na tila mas nagiging galit pa. Agad kong iniwan ang mop at tumakbo sa kanyang kwarto. Kailangan kong magmadali. Kapag natagalan ako, mas matindi ang parusa. “Madam, may kailangan po ba kayo?” magalang kong tanong sa aking Madrasta. "Bakit ba ang bagal mong kumilos? HETO! Labhan mo pati ang damit ng anak ko!” sigaw niya, sabay hagis sa akin ng maruruming damit. Tumama ito sa aking mukha, pero wala akong nagawa kundi damputin ang mga ito. “Opo, Madam,” sagot ko, habang pinipigil ang pagbagsak ng luha.

Mahinhin, maingat sa kinikilos, mahinahon, mapagkumbaba, at mapagtimpi. Yan ang mga katangian ng isang Maria Clara. Pambahay lamang ang mga babae at hindi ito pwedeng makipagsalamuha sa mga kahit kaninong lalaki. Pero paano kapag ang babae ay magpapanggap na lalaki? Basahin natin at subaybayan ang mga isinusulat ni Corazon sa kanyang talaarawan bilang isang babaeng naging guardia civil sa panahon ng mga Kastila.

Pinagtabuyan at nabuntis.  Paano kung isang araw, muling magkrus ang landas nila ng lalaking pilit niyang kalimutan. Makikilala kaya niya ito?  Paano kung ang taong kanyang pinagkakatiwalaan at inalayan ng kanyang buong pagmamahal ay itatakwil siya sa araw mismo ng kanilang kasal. Magawa niya pa kayang patawarin ito?  May kaugnayan kaya ang nakaraan nina Anastasia at Vance Michael Enriquez? Sino ito sa buhay ni Anastasia. 

"Everything's fine, honey." That's what Steven has been telling her for months. But tonight, at their wedding anniversary party, Shirley can't shake the feeling that something's off. Her husband, once so present, now seems distant. His evasive glances, his forced smiles... and that text message he tried so hard to hide. "We can't keep going like this.
