Secretary

Isang video ng boyfriend ko na nagpo-propose sa kanyang secretary ang nag-trending. Lahat ay kilig na kilig at sinasabing napaka-romantic at nakakaantig ang eksena. Nag-post pa mismo ang secretary niya sa social media: "Matagal kitang hinintay, at buti na lang hindi ako sumuko. Ipagkakatiwala ko ang buhay ko sayo, Mr. Emerson." Isa sa mga komento ang nagsabi: "Diyos ko, sobrang sweet nito! CEO at secretary—bagay na bagay sila!" Hindi ako umiyak o nag-eskandalo. Sa halip, tahimik kong isinara ang webpage at hinarap ang nobyo ko para humingi ng paliwanag. Doon ko siya narinig na nakikipag-usap sa mga kaibigan niya. "Wala akong choice. Mapipilitan siyang pakasalan ang isang taong hindi niya mahal kung hindi ko siya tinulungan." "Eh si Vicky? Siya ang totoong girlfriend mo. Hindi ka ba natatakot na magalit siya?" "Eh ano naman kung magalit siya? Pitong taon na kaming magkasama—hindi niya ako kayang iwan." Sa huli, ikinasal ako sa parehong araw ng kasal nila. Nang magkasalubong ang aming mga sasakyan, nagpalitan kami ng bouquet ng kanyang secretary. Nang makita niya ako, labis siyang nasaktan at humagulgol.

Palaging nagkakaro’n ng weird na panaginip si Thea Amarrile, dahil halos araw-araw n’yang napapaginipan na nakikipag sex s’ya sa lalaking hindi n’ya naman kilala, ngunit ang pinagtataka n’ya ay kapag nagigising s’ya ay naaalala n’ya parin bawat detalye ng panaginip n’ya. Hanggang isang araw, bigla na lang sumulpot ‘yong lalaking palagi n’yang napapaginipan sa pinag tatrabahohan n’ya and later on, nalaman n’ya na lang na ‘yong lalaking palagi n’yang napapaginipan ay s’yang magiging panandaliang boss n’ya.

Si Riana ay gagawin ang lahat para mabuhay. Pagraraket. Pagtitinda. Kahit ano, basta hindi ang pagbebenta ng katawan. Nasanay na siyang gawin ang lahat para sa kaniyang pamilya at mga kapatid. Pinapangako niya sa kanyang sarili na kahit anong mangyari, gagawin niya ang lahat. Magiging matatag siya sa kabila ng dagok ng buhay pero paano kung may di inaasahang dumating? Paano kong imbis na lumaban siya ng paulit ulit, ito ang nagiging dahilan niya para unti unti siyang panghinaan ng loob? Paano kong siya ang dahilan? Paano niya makakayanan lahat? Paano?

Slaine Amaris Aranza is a loving sister, a best friend, a good listener, and a hardworking daughter. She possesses beauty that can enthrall men and a personality that makes people admire her. Not everyone will like you, especially when you have the things, the attention they haven't. Instead, they'll bask in delight when they see you fail. Despite being kind and approachable to everyone, Slaine still receives some shaming about her past and unconfirmed current romantic relationships. She has a long list of suitors, but no one has her attention these days except one. Her crush, whose she's been eyeing for three years. The man who always wore stoical expression and academically focused type of guy. She did everything for him to notice her. She provoked him, tagging around and acting like as if she had a right on him. Until such time that infatuation she has for him turned to affection. Will the man she loves be attracted not only on her enthralling beauty but also on her personality?

Work. Home. Repeat. That's the cycle of Ylana Bernadette Romualdez's life until she crossed paths with her new boss and the famous actor who offered her a sideline she could never decline.

Ysa is one of the hottest secretaries in town, but she is also a certified NBSB. She has already achieved her dreams: having a good life, providing what she wants, and working on her dream company. But still, there's something missing in her life. Love life. Pero hindi siya naniniwala na ito nga ang kukumpleto sa kanya lalo na, hindi maganda ang impresyon niya tungkol sa pag-ibig. To prove to her aunt that she doesn't need someone romantically in her life, Ysa accepts her challenge to date someone. And like what she already expected, it's a failure. May nobya na ang ka-date niya at tanging one night stand lang ang habol nito. Mas tumibay ang paniniwala ni Ysa na walang matinong tao pagdating sa pag-ibig. Or even love itself. Love can ruin someone. Kaya hindi niya kailangan ang pag-ibig sa kanyang buhay. Pero paano kung makakatagpo siya ng isang lalaking taliwas sa iba? A man who is different from others in just one look. A man who seems unable to do cheating. A man with one word, despite his playful aura. And a gorgeous man who she tries to sleep with one drunk, hot night. Mababali kaya nito ang paniniwala niya? O ito ang magiging dahilan para mangyari ang kinatatakutan niya?

“Miss Bella!” Saad ng isang kasamahan ko sa trabaho. “Nakalagay diyan ang bagong project mo.” Ika nito sabay lapag ng folder. Agent Snow got an assignment again. Hindi tulad ng ibang taong kailangan niyang bigyang serbisyo, ang isang ito ay hindi basta bastang tao. He is one of the dominant and well-known businessman in their country, an Ace! She entered a non-government military secret agency five years ago through the Ace of Hearts, Akihiro Leati Zhang-Hernández, a Chinese-Filipino businessman and a former military personnel. Being the most favored by the boss among the secret agents, she was envied by her colleagues and was often called as a snobbish frost. One day, the boss called her for another mission; aside from protecting a man, she was given the chance to dig clues of the accident that happened five years ago which she suspect is related to her. Assigned in protecting the Ace of Spades of the Asian business, Lance Joshua Villarreal-Sinclair, she was forced to enter the world of the elites where she found herself being dragged into the abyss of finding pieces of clues about her own identity.

Love makes the world go round, sabi nila. Pero iba para kay Alexena dahil pinatigil nito ang isang bahagi ng buhay at pagkatao niya. Kahit na dala ang sakit ng kahapon ay pinili niyang mag-move forward at ngumiting muli upang ipagpatuloy ang buhay. Ngunit pagkatapos umalis nang walang paalam makalipas ang ilang taon ay hindi niya kailanman inakalang maglalaro ang tadhana at pagtatagpuing muli ang kanilang landas ng nag-iisang lalaki na kanyang minahal at iniwan sa nakaraan. Pero nagbago na ito, wala na ang bakas ng pagkatao ng lalaking kanyang nakasama noon. Wala na ni anino ng suyo kapag tinatapunan siya nito ng tingin at lambing sa tinig kapag kinakausap siya. Sa halip ay puro pang-iinsulto at masasakit na salita na lamang ang lumalabas sa bibig nito sa tuwing bubuka iyon. At ang nakakaloka pa ay napapansin niya na palagi na lang siya nitong pinag-iinitan at pinepersonal. Palagi ring iritado at akala mo ba ay may buwanang dalaw sa sungit. Aminado naman siyang may malaki siyang kasalanan dito. At mukhang dumating na rin ang panahon ng paniningil nito, ayaw man niya ay kailangan niyang magbayad. Ngunit sa kabila ng mga iringan nilang dalawa at hindi pagkakasundo ay hindi maikakailang ito pa rin ang nag-iisang tao na may kakayahang patibukin nang mabilis ang puso niya. Akala niya ay okay na siya, akala niya ay naka-move on na siya rito. Pero mukhang mali ang lahat ng naging paniniwala niya dahil tutol man ang isip niya sa kanyang nararamdaman ay sadya namang may pagkatraydor, suwail at balimbing ang puso niya basta pagdating na rito ang usapan. Love is sweeter the second time around, maging applicable naman kaya ang kasabihang iyon sa dalawang ito? O sa halip na maging matamis ay baka naman pait ang malasahan at maging kapalaran ng mga ito sa dulo?

Makakaya mo bang bigyan ng pagkakataon ang taong naging dahilan kung bakit ka nasaktan at kung bakit nawala ang iyong tiwala? Sabi nila ang pagmamahal ay syang magiging inyo dapat matatag na kandado upang manatiling matatag ang inyong relasyon. “Wala ka ba talagang ibang gagawin kung hindi ang pagtaguan ako?” inis na tanong ni Ashton kay Mitsuki. “Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba patuloy mo pa rin akong sinusundan kahit alam mong nilalayuan na kita!” litanya ni Mitsuki kay Ashton.
