“Ladies and Gentleman, let’s welcome the grand entrance of our lovely bride” as the MC announced, I see the man I love waiting at the end of the aisle.
Smiling as if it’s the best day of his entire life, ngayon ko lang nakita na ganyan ang mukha nya he never let his face express his feelings.
I smiled at him when our eyes met, at ramdam ko talaga ang saya n’ya which made my heart beat so fast.
“Look how lovely the bride is, with her white gown I guest mahal ’yan” sabi ng babae sa tabi ko, tama siya mahal yang gown na yan. I designed that for this wedding too bad, I am not the one who gets the chance to wear it.
As Aubrey walk in the aisle lahat ng mata ay nakatuon sa kanya na para bang nakakita sila ng anghel na bumaba galing sa langit, she’s smiling from ear to ear like it’s her very lucky day, yeah! she’s right, it’s her damn lucky day. She is marrying the man that I love for almost my entire life.
“Cherrymilk, bumili ako ng paborito mo oh, tingnan mo,” tinapat niya sa bibig ko ang isang piraso ng donut. I only stare at him and take a deep breath.
“What do you want this time, Survey?” He smiled.
“Just want you to do me a favor and introduce me to your club members” then he smirks.
“Sa club members ko ba talaga Survey?” I cross my arms at medyo lumayo sa kanya kasi masyado na siya’ng malapit sa akin.
“Ok you got me, I want you to introduce me to Aubrey,” he said and held my hand.
Sabi ko na mangyayari to’ I’ve noticed him having so much damn interest when it comes to Aubrey ever since nakita niya ito na kasama ko sa club namin, I know him when he likes a girl because in just a snap I can see how serious he is when he likes one. It’s written all over his face.
And this time, I can say that he likes her.
Pero hindi ako papayag, ako ba?, hindi n’ya nakikita ito ako na sa harap niya na oh, bulag ba siya? Hindi ko siya ipapakilala kay Aubrey kasi alam ko na gusto din siya ni Aubrey, paano naman ako?
Since grade 8, I have had these secret feelings for him, he’s my best friend and I try to stop these feelings nung na sa grade 9 kami kasi alam ko na best friend ko siya, and I don’t want to lose it, so I tried to stop it. But it only leads me to a tragic ending of falling for him more and one day I just knew that I already love him.
I love him and I want him to be with me, not with Aubrey.
The answer is a no!
“What now?” he said.
No Cherry, hindi.
“Ok, I’ll tell her to see you, this afternoon at lunchtime at 11 a.s.a.p.” what Cherry ano ba ginagawa mo!!
I can’t say no to him.
“Yes ok, 11! You’re the best, love you, bye have to go,” he gave me a kiss on my head before he ran away with his friends.
I let out a bitter smile after that, what a great move Cherry you just let your chance fly away.
“Survey siya nga pala anong balak mo pagkatapos na’tin grumaduate ahhh? Party ba tayo ahh ahh ha hoy!” I throw the pillow to his face, kasi naman kanina pa ako nagsasalita dito, siya cellphone ng cellphone.
“Ouch” sambit niya ng tumama ito sa matangos niyang ilong.
“Ano nga kasi balak natin ahhh?” pag-uulit ko sa aking tanong.
“You will make a white gown after we graduate, ok,” he said with a serious face. White gown?
“Ha, bakit?”
“Because after we graduate, I’ll ask Aubrey to marry me,” he said and smiled so big and stretched his arm on the sofa.
I was stiff for a moment, ano?
Kasi naman parang tumigil mundo ko dahil sa narinig ko, tama ba ako ng pagkakarinig.
Naramdaman ko na lang na tumulo ang luha ko sa kamay, agad akong nabalik sa katinuan at tumalikod para pinunasan ang luha na tumakas mula sa aking mga mata.
“I’ll ask Aubrey to marry me,”
“I’ll ask Aubrey to marry me,”
“I’ll ask Aubrey to marry me,”
Paulit-ulit sa utak ko ang mga salitang iyon it breaks my heart. So damn hard.
.
“What do you think, Milk?” he asks.
“Yeah, I’ll be glad to make the gown for, Aubrey” I said kahit nakatalikod ako sa kanya ramdam kong hinihintay niya sagot ko.
Yes, Survey.
Yes, ako gagawa ng gown ng mahal mo dahil mahal kita.
“Do you Survey Jace Del Mundo accept Aubrey Torres as your lovely wedded wife,” sabi ng pare habang nakangiting nakatingin sa dalawa.
I close my eyes at huminga ng malalim. I think I’m not ready for this.
Please lord alisin nyo na po ako dito di ko pa kaya na marinig si survey na sabihin ang—–
“I do,”
Tears fell from my eyes while I’m facing the floor, I can’t stop myself.
“Survey may kaibigan ako sa club namin may problema siya may gusto siya sa bestfriend nya for almost 6 years long, and that person doesn’t have the guts to tell what she really feels for her friend. Do you think she should tell him even though his best friend already has a lover?”
“I don’t know, maybe not because I don’t really care about your friend’s feelings, just let her be, don’t stress yourself with others’ problem Milk. Have to go, Aubrey’s waiting for me.“sambit nito at tuluyang tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo at kinuha ang kanyang polo.
“Sa tingin mo nga, ano dapat niyang gawin?” I asked him again.
“Just bury her feelings and find another, since her friend already has a lover, if she really loves him then that girl should let go. Yan nasagot ko na ba tanong mo I have to go, bye “ and run away.
Again.
Maybe he really loves to run away from me because the truth is he can’t run towards me because Aubrey is the only way he sees.
“If she loves him that girl should let go”
Should I let go, Survey?
Should I let go? My tears fell again.
“Cherry, thank you for the gown, it was wonderful,” Aubrey hugged me.
At sa likod niya ang lalaking mahal ko, smiling at me na para bang proud na proud siya sa’kin.
After Aubrey hugged me I excused myself and went to the restroom to fix my makeup, it got messed up a little because I cried a while ago.
Pagkatapos ay lumabas na ako at nakasalubong ko si Survey, smiling at me and urge a hugged.
“This was a dream come true milk.”
Napangiti naman ako ng mapait, yeah, your dream turns out to be my greatest nightmare.
“You know what, I have something to tell you,” he let go of the hug and held my hands at tinignan ako sa mata.
What he said makes me realize that life is so Overly Cruel to me.
Why?
I’m smiling at him while he’s walking away with Aubrey but inside of me wanted to burst out so damn much, I just wanna die!
Why does it turn out like this?
Why didn’t you give me a chance lord?
“Remember back in grade school, before I met Aubrey? You asked me who my first love was, and I said I didn’t have one. But the truth is… it was you. You were my first love, and I’ve loved you for a long time. I just never told you—because I was afraid. Afraid to lose you, afraid to ruin our friendship.
But look at us now. I didn’t lose you. And I met Aubrey, who turned out to be my true love.
Thank you, Milk… for everything.“ Then he gave me a sweet, grateful smile.
Yes, Survey. You didn’t lose me.
I lost myself.
Why are you so cruel to me, Destiny?
Why couldn’t you just give me the chance… to tell him I loved him?
“Cherry, gising na my flight ka pa diba,” I open my eyes
“Oh, umiiyak ka na naman wala na tapos na ang kasal last two years pa ano na move on move on din friend late na tayo oh,” Blace said, my best friend slash assistant.
Pinunasan ko ang aking luha.
Tama, move-on Cherry.
Move on.
Move on damn how can I do that if ––
“Ma’am isasama nyo po ba si Milo sa flight nyo?” I glance at the door when the nanny appears and holds my little angel in her arms.
How can I move on if every morning I open my eyes I see his face on my son’s face.
How?

Chapter 1
-BIRTH-
“Blace, manganganak na ako!!!!” I shouted inside the bathroom, when I saw a plenty of water running down from my legs. Pumutok na panubigan ko!
“Shet! friend, wait lang nandyan na!!!!” rinig kong aligagang sigaw ni Blace galing sa labas ng Cr, alam kong kinukuha niya na ang bag ko, may nakaready na akong bag for my delivery.
“Friend, saglit na lang shetek talaga!!!Kuya, paki bilisan naman oh, lalabas na yong baby!” sigaw ni Blace sa driver ng ambulance na sumundo sa’min.
“Baby, wait ka lang, wag ka muna mag hello world dyan, wala pa tayo sa hospital,” kinakausap nito ang tiyan ko habang ako ito hirap na hirap na dahil sa matinding pagkirot ng Tiyan ko, pakiramdam ko sasabog na ang tiyan ko sa sakit.
Kinagat ko ang ibabang parte ng aking labi at pilit nilabanan ang sakit, pero mas lalo lang itong lumalala habang papalapit kami sa hospital, jusko, hindi ko na kaya. Sinubukan ko talagang lakasan ang aking loob pero unti-unti nang nanlalabo ang aking paningin at bumibigat ang talukap ng aking mga mata. No, Hindi ako pwede makatulog.
No, not now! My baby might be in danger if I fall asleep, no please not now! Not now!
“Best malapit na tayo wait na lang please, wag ka matutulog!!!” naririnig ko ang takot mula sa boses ni Blace.
“Best wait best hoy best––” hindi ko na narinig pa ng mabuti ang susunod niyang sinasabi ng bigla akong nanghina at maya-maya lang ay dahan-dahan ang pumikit ng kusa ang aking mga mata.
“Best!!!!” Everything went black.
“Doc. pano ba yan lagpas 24 hours na wala pa’ring malay best friend ko, patay na ba siya?” I can hear Blace’s exagurated voice. I wanted to open my eyes, but it feel like it’s locked together. medyo nahirapan akong imulat ang mag ito dahil sobrang bigat pa ’rin ng talukap ng aking mga mata.
nang imulat ko ang aking mga mata, hindi ko maramdaman ng maayos ang aking katawan. Tila parang manhid ako sa pakiramdam ng bawat parte nito. I don’t feel my body, I can’t barely move right now.
When I open my eyes, my vision, it was blurry. Sobrang labo ng paningin ko parang liwag lang ang tangi kong nakikita sa sandaling binuksan ko ang aking mga mata. Hanggang sa unti-unti kong naaninag ang mukha ni Blace, she was talking to a Doctor, sinubukan kong magsalita pero parang tuyong-tuyo ang lalamunan ko at hindi ko magawang maglabas ng kahit anong ingay sa sandaling iyon.
Gaano ba ako katagal natulog?
While Blace was talking to the Doctor, she glance at me and suddenly her eyes widened when she saw me looking at her. She immediately runs towards me.
“Best! Sa wakas buhay ka pa, huhu, akala ko hindi ka na gigising, nakakainis ka talaga!” she’s holding my hands, but I can’t barely feel her touch on my hands. Wala talaga akong nararamdaman when it comes to my body.
She gave me a cup of water, when she notices that I’d wanted to talk. Inalalayan niya akong umupo at pinaunom ng tubig. parang nilinis ng dumaloy na tubig ang lalamunan ko sa sandaling iyon, kung kaya’t kinaya ko nang magsalita.
“Ahm—–” I was just about to talk, but she instantly cut me off and speak.
“Best kung tatanungin mo kung ok yong baby, it’s a yes and kung tatanungin mo kung bakit wala ka maramdaman, kasi namamanhid pa yan, and kung tatanungin mo kung nag normal delivery ka malamang hindi. Natulog ka eh gaga, kaya nag undergo ka ng operation best at hindi pa ok yang tahi mo at kung tatanungin mo kung nasan ang baby later on dadalhin na siya dito ng nurse ok don’t worry at isa pa alam mo ba dahil kakadrama mo this past few months ng undergo ka sa so much stress buti nalang healthy si baby kahit ganon, sa body mo lang daw umepek yong stress mo muntikan ka pa ngang mag 50-50 gaga ka alam mo bang muntikan na akong mahimatay sa kaba dahil sayo !!!ano may sasabihin ka ba!”
“W-wala na, nasabi mo na lahat eh, thank you ah,” I said, rolling my eyes on her. She just laughs at my reaction, and a knock from the door catches our attention, when the door opens, there is my angel sent from above sleeping peacefully in the nurse’s arms, the nurse walks towards me and gives him to me, my baby.
As I held him in my arms, my heart started to race, pounding so fast, just like what I feel when I look at his father.
I touch his hands using my pointing finger and guess what, my baby grip my finger so tight and he made a cute little sound that made me shed tears of genuine happiness.
“Anong ipapangalan mo sa baby mo?” Blace ask me while she’s holding the papers to sign for the baby.
“Milo,” I whisper with a pure smile.
“Milo? Milo as in yung chocolate drink! Huy gaga, ano to tandem kayo ikaw milk siya chocolate milk, nice joke! Ano next name ng kapatid n’yan nescafe haha,” natatawa nitong sambit, tiningnan ko siya ng masama pero walang pake ang bruha. Tuwang tuwa siya masyado sa joke niya eh.
“Mikko Loure Villaruel,” I said. Milo ang nickname niya, because I find it so cute and it fits his cute little face. I gently kissed his forehead before I stare at him. I can’t get enough of him.
“Hindi mo iaapilyedo sa tatay niya?” tumigil ito sa pag tawa at seryoso akong tinanong. tiningnan ko siya at hindi maiwasang matawa sa sarkastikong paraan. Parang gagawin ko naman iyon eh, ayaw ko ngang malaman ng tatay nito na may anak siya sa akin.
“Joke, ikaw naman di mabiro ok, Mikko Loure Villaruel. Milo cutie, tapos ikaw Cherry Milk Villaruel, mag-ina nga kayo hahaha,” sambit nito at sinimulan ng isulat ang pangalan ni Milo sa registration form.
Pagkatapos niyang isulat ang pangalan nito, inabot niya sa akin ang ballpen at ang form upang mapirmahan ko na ito.
Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na hawak ko na siya ngayon.
You are too much for a blessing baby. My Angel.
“Are you leaving already, Milk iha?” Tita Mikka, Survey’s mother asks me, ng makita niya ako na palabas na sa hallway ng party.
“Yes, po Tita, I have an early schedule bukas po, for the designs para sa fashion shows in L.A. next month po.” Magalang at mahinhin kong pagpaaalam. she smiles at me and gently caresse my hand.
“It’s Jace’s wedding, and you’re leaving too early iha, did you tell him that you’re leaving already?” tanong nito habnag lumilingon-lingon upang hanapin ang anak.
Kahit umalis naman ako Tita hindi niya naman ako hahanapin, he’s to happy now. I wanted to day that but I can’t. I won’t.
“Just tell him na lang po Tita, na I really have to go po, sorry po, it’s my responsibility to attend my schedule early for tomorrow po.” I said with a pleading tone. Tita, please just let me leave this place, this is too much for me. I wanted to cry so much but I couldn’t cry in front of everyone.
“Ok iha, I understand you, just call me if you need anything. You know that your mom trusts me with you. Drive safe iha, “ She game me a peck on my cheeks, at pagkatapos ay nilisan ko na ang lugar na iyon.
Masyado akong nahihirapan huminga at nasososfucate sa lugar na iyon, pakiramdam ko nasusunog ang puso ko habang pinipilit ko paring ngumiti sa harap ng mga taong nandon.
I went home to my condo and buried myself in the bathtub with cold water on it. Gusto kong magpakamatay sa mga oras na ito. I let myself drown under the cold water inside the bathtub until I slowly had a hard time to bread.
“Cherry!” I heard someone shout my name and pull me out of the water. When I open my eyes I witness Blace crying in fear as she hugged me really tight out of the bathtub.
“Cherry naman! Bakit mo ito ginagawa sa sarili mo? ano ka ba nakalimutan mo na bang buntis ka?!” nanginginig ang boses nitong sambit habang malaks na humahagulgol. I wanted to cry but there were no tears left in mine. I almost killed myself and also the baby inside of me.
“Cherry, please lumaban ka kahit para sa baby na lang oh!” she begged and hugged me like she’s not gonna let me hurt myself again.
Nakatulala lang ako habang pakiramdam ko basag-basag na ang puso ko. I badly wanted to cry and shout all the pain, but I’m too tired for everything.
But this moment opens my eyes, it made me realize how important life is for this little one inside my stomach. I will fight for this baby, I will live for you baby, Mommy will live for us, baby.
Hang in there, we will see each other soon.
Present-day, “Buti na lang cinancel mo lahat ng mga projects mo for this year, at mag focus ka muna kay Milo, aba lumalaki na siya,he’s turing 2 years old na, he needs his Mommy,” Blace said while she’s making Milo giggle.
I smile watching them. They were my source of energy noong mga panahong hirap na hirap ako. Blace never let me feel alone, she’s always at my side, and Milo gives me a new reason to live and a new life to start with.
After I gave birth to Milo, Blace and I lived in Palawan far from Manila. We don’t tell anyone about it because I don’t want Survey to know anything about me, because ever since he got married, Aubrey and Survey fly to London. because Aubrey wanted to continue her modeling career there.
Kinuha ko yong opportunity na i yon para u nti-unting malayo kay Survey. He always emailed me back then, but I excuse myself for being busy all the time just to avoid him. Kaya hanggang sa lumayo na ako ng tuluyan sa kanila, walang anumang kaugnayan kahit kila Tita Mikka.
I named Milo after tita Mikka’s named because I love her so much but i have to cut our connection between them to protect my baby and also protect their peaceful life kasi alam ko pag nalaman nila ito ay magugulo ang buhay ni Survey.
His too happy with Aubrey I don’t want to ruin it, kaya ko namang buhayin ang anak ko kasama si Blace.
“What do I do without you, Blace?” I hugged her. I’m so lucky to have her.
“Nako Best, pasalamat ka di na ako mag aasawa, dahil I am a certified BL fan alam mo na, ayaw ko namang agawan ng love story ang ibang boys, bagay sila sa isa-isa diba baby Milo ikaw ba––” I cut her off, at binatukan ko siya, “Hoy, Blace, wag mo ngang gawing bakla ’yan si Milo, nako malilintikan ka talaga sa akin n’yan !!!” I said.
“Joke lang, ito naman masyadong gwapo to si baby Milo para maging BL and love story niya,” she laughs and just continues playing with my son. Napailing na lang ako at inayos ang aking mga gamit. I glance at the sky on the terrace of our house and feel the cold breeze of the wind.
How are you now, Survey?
Chapter 2
-NIGHT-
Warning: This part contains matured content (R18), read it at your own risk.
“Congrats, Cherry iha, graduate na’din kayo ni Survey as wakas, I’m so proud of the both of you,” Tita Mikka said as she hugged me very gently but filled with genuine love.
At last, graduate na ako pati na’rin si Survey. After this gusto ko sanang magapplu sa isang fashion design company, dahil ito talaga ang pangarap ko dati pa. Si Survey naman mag start na siyang mag train sa company ng dad niya.
Napalingon kami ng biglang sumulpot ang mga kaibigan ni Survey, “Jace, ano party na mamaya ahhh, see you bro,” Dark said, siya ang isa sa mga kaibigan si Survey na kilala ko, pero yung iba hindi ko na alam kung ano ang pangalan nila pero namumukhaan ko sila.
Survey just nodded at him, and keep focused on Tita Mikka’s camera, while she was taking a lot of pictures of him. Bakas sa mukha nito na labag sa loob niya ang kanyang ginagawa, pero wala naman siyang magagawa pagdating sa mama niya. he can’t say to her anyway.
I smiled, lumapit ako sa kanya at umakbay sa kanyang balikat, tiningnan niya ako na kunot ang noo, halatang alam niya na ang sasabihin ko. “Survey, sama naman ako sa party niyo,” I said and pouted at him, ginawa ko iyon para isama niya na ako sa party nila mamaya, hindi kasi siya pumapayag pagsumasama ako sa party nila dati. “Please,” I begged with a puppy eyes.
“Yeah, whatever,” he hissed but didn’t say no so it means… it’s a y
es, ngayon niya lang ako pinayagan sumama sa kanya sa party na pinupuntahan niya kagaya nito. I’m so excited to know what it feels like attending to those kind of parties.
After the celebration with teh family, umuwi ako ng bahay para magpalit ng damit para sa party ngayong gabi. First time kong umattend sa ganito, hindi ko alam ang aking gagawin doon pero ang mahalaga ay kasama ko si Dyky sa party na iyon.
“Jace, bakit ngayon ka lang, Oh Cherry! Welcome, buti sumama ka dito kay Jace? “ salubong sa amin nila Dark pagpasok namin sa loob ng venue. “Tara, let’s enjoy the night,” sambit nito at umakbay sa akin si Dark, sabay kaming naglalakad papasok ng party. hindi ko maiwasang mapanganag ng makita ang meron sa loob, masyadong wild and rowdy ang mga tao dito sa loob, grabe, ngayon lang ako nakapunta sa ganitong party.
Ganito pala dito, woah, sobrang ingay at amoy alak ang buong lugar. nagsasayawang mga babae at lalaki ang nasa gitna at may mga usok galing sa mag vape at sigarilyo ng mga lalaki dito. Tinakpan ko ang aking bibig habang patuloy kami sa paglalakad, garbe ang baho naman pala sa ganito.
Pagdating namin sa isang stand table agad binigyan ng waiter si Dark at Survey ng drinks, I mean alak, teka bakit wala ako? Gusto ko din uminom, graduate naman na ako gaya nila ah, and nasa tamang edad na ako. Nilingon ko ang waiter at tinanong.
“Saan yung akin?” tanong ko, magsasalita pa lang yung waiter pinangunahan siya agad ni Survey,
“You’re not drinking, Milk, you’re here just to enjoy the party but no drinking,” he said, tapping my head before he take a sip on his drink.
“What! Paano ko naman maeenjoy itong party kung hindi naman pala ako iinom?!?” hindi makapniwala kong sambit, akala ko pa naman din ay makakatry akong uminom ngayong gabi. First time ko ito dapat matry ko lahat!!! Nakakainis.
“No drinking,” he repeated and walked away, iniwan ako dito, and went to that nearest table where his friends are sitting, leaving me here hanging alone.
I just watch the people around here inside the party and notice that some of them are dancing, drinking so wild, and making out publicly! Grabe ang wild naman ng mag ato dito, kadiri.
Ininom ko na lang yung juice na binigay nila sa akin tutal ito lang din naman pwede sa’kin, I was boring, very far from what I’ve expected, I just decided to played games in my phone instead.
I don’t know kung gaano na ako katagal dito, basta medyo matagal tagal na din, kasi kanina level 6 lang ako ngayon level 25 na ako dito sa nilalaro ko, so that means mas matagal pa akong naglaro sa phone ko kesa mag enjoy at uminom dito sa party. Nakakainis naman oh.
I got bored, so I decided to walk around to find Survey. I see him there sitting beside Dark and he looks so wasted already. “
Survey, ano na kaya mo pa ba d’yan?“ I ask, pero parang wala siyang na naririnig at patuloy par’in sa pag-inom. Mukhang sobrang na enjoy niya nga itong party.
“Hey tara, iuuwi na kita, baka pagalitan pa ako ni Tita Mikka pag hindi ka umabot na buhay sa bahay niyo paginiwan kita dito,” I’ve reached for his hands and tried to lift him up, but he’s too heavy for me to carry. Good thing his friends helped me to bring him in the car.
I’ve learned driving since we’re in first-year college, that’s why I’m confident that I can handle him pauwi sa bahay nila. After his friend help me put him inside the car, nagpaalam na rin sila sa akin at agad bumalik sa loob upang ipagpatuloy ang kanilang paginom.
“Hoy,” I gently push his shoulders just to sober him up, but he just groans and leans on the chair.
“Kaya mo pala ako sinama dito para maging driver mo lang, dahil alam mong malalasing ka ng sobra. Sana sinabihan mo ko kaagad para nag-uniform ako ng pang driver,” singhal ko at hindi maiwasang mapairap dahil alam ko namang hindi ako maiintindihan ng lalaking ito.
Nang makarating kami sa bahay nila the maids quickly approached us, and help me to bring him up to his room. Hinanap ko sila tita pero sabi ng mga maids ay may nangyari daw sa company kaya nag over time daw sila ni tito at tita.
“Ang bigat mo, sa susunod hindi na ako sasama pa sa kahit anong party na pupuntahan mo, nakakainis ka hindi ’man lang ako nag-enjoy!!!” I said and glance at him as he was laying on his bed.
Ang kapal ng mukha mong matulog ng mahimibing gabi-gabi sa mantalang ako halos hindi na makatulog ng maayos dahil ikaw lang lagi ang tumatakbo sa isipan ko.
Hindi mo ba talaga ako nakikita, Survey?
Hindi mo ba nararamdaman na mahal kita? Nalagi akong nasa tabi mo, all these year’s lagi kitang tinutulungan sa lahat ng bagay, kahit sa panliligaw mo kay Aubrey. Hindi mo ba ako nakikita bilang isang babae?
Hindi yung bestfriend mo na laging nasa likod mo lang?
Tears started to fell from my eyes while I kept staring at him, nakakainis, agad kong pinunasan ng aking luha at tumayo ng tuwid, “Hindi ka niya makikita kahit kailan Milk,” I whisper to myself, and when I was about to walk away from his bed he suddenly grabs my hand and pulls me off to his bed.
In just a snap I was laying beside him already, “Stay” he whispers, is he sleep talking?
“Survey bakit ako magsta—–,”
I wasn’t able to continue what I’m about to say, when he pull me above him.
I stiffed when our distance was just an inches apart, muntikan na akong sumigaw sa gulat ng biglang nagpalit ang aming posisyon.
Now, he’s on top of me, “I love you.” He whisper, and without hesitation, he kissed me.
His kiss became torrid and rough, and I wanted to push him away but I couldn’t move. I don’t know what to do. Survey is kissing me right now.
After a few seconds of gathering some strength, I tried to push him away from me.
“Teka Survey hindi—–” I was cut off when he mumbled something between our lips.
“Aubrey, I love you, damn,” he groaned and aggressively grabbed both of my wrists and put them above my head.
Agad akong natigilan at tila nanlamig ang buo kong katawan dahil sa aking narinig.
“Aubrey, I love you, damn,” he mumbled biting the bottom of my lip with aggression.
“Aubrey, I love you, damn,” parang sirang plaka itong umulit sa aking isipan.
So, she sees me as Aubrey, akala niya ako si Aubrey? Nagsimulang tumulo ang aking mga luha, parang gumuho ang mundo ko sa sandaling iyon. Hearing those words from his lips breaks me so badly.
Pinilit ko siyang itulak papalayo, ngunit mas nangingibabaw pa rin ang kanyang lakas bilang isang lalake. He continues kissing me aggressively and deeper than a while ago. I tried my best to move and push him away, but his weight was so strong and heavy for me to fight with, my body froze when he started kissing my jaw down to my neck.
At this moment tears, overflow and I just want to run away from him, I don’t wanna be in this situation right now please no.
“Survey, please bitawan mo ako,” I begged him, and slowly felt my knees weaken.
“Aubrey,” he moaned her name not knowing that I am the one he was kissing. its fucking painful.
Wala akong magawa kundi umiyak at sumuko dahil sa umpisa pa lang alam kong talo na ako.
He started sucking and licking my neck, giving me some marks down there. His hands are slowly moving underneath my top.
“Ah!” I groan, biting my lower lip really hard that I could start tasting my own blood.
When he started grabbing my mound aggressively and lifted up my top so he could have better access to my breast. I didn’t bother complaining because I’m too hurt and weak to fight him.
I let him do what he wanted and just closed my eyes, thinking that it’s just a nightmare.
I wish that this was just a nightmare and it will end soon, a
nd after a moment I slowly open my eyes when I feel him inside of me.
I give my virginity to the person I love, pero bakit ganito ang sakit, ang sakit sakit na hindi n’ya ako nakikita bilang ako. I feel so worthless.
Ako yong nasa harapan niya pero bakit si Aubrey pa’rin ang nakikita niya?
I just close my eyes and handle the pain inside my heart as it self destroy.
“Ugh,” I heard him moan as I feel his full length inside.
It’s breaking me physically and emotionally. After that painful nightmare, I feel him move away above me, removing his length inside of me.
When I open my eyes and see him sleeping peacefully beside me. I didn’t stop crying while staring at him, biting my lips so hard until it bleeds.
Hindi ko hahayaan na masira ka Survey. I tried to stand but the pains between my thighs were so damn bad that it made my knees shake. I bite my hands and cry so hard, to control the pain I feel right now, I wanted to shout, gusto kong magwala.
This is too much for me.
I still try my very best to stand up, kahit na bawat hakbang na aking ginagawa ay katumbas ng matinding sakit ng aking maselang bahagi ng katawan. But, I
still manage to pull the comforter with a stain of my blood, and grab his clothes on teh floor, at ipinasuot ulit sa kanya. Sobrang hirap akong kumilos pero pinipilit ko, habang ginagawa iyon patuloy ang pagtulo ng aking luha.
I don’t want any evidence to be seen here after I left, ayaw kong may makita siyang bakas na nangyari ito sa aming dalawa, hindi pwedeng masira ang buhay niya dahil lang sa kagaya ko. I won’t let that happen.
After cleaning everything I wipe my tears up and smile at him. This is for you, Survey. I will forget everything, and hinding hindi ko hahayaan na masira ka ng kung ano’mang nangyari ngayong gabi.
I love you so damn much, that’s why I’m going to let you go, and
choose to hurt myself just for you.
“Best! Umiiyak si Milo kanina pa oh, gising na d’yan!!!” iminulat ko ang aking mga mata ng patuloy akong kalabitin ni Blace at nakita ko itong buhay ang aking munting anghel.
Milo was crying, kaya agad akong bumangon para kuhanin siya mula kay Blace at niyakap siya ng mahigpit.
“Ma… mama ….” I stop after hearing those word from him, nakita kong natigilan din si Blace at tila natulala sa aming dalawa ni Milo.
Milo’s first word, His calling me. I smiled and started to cry with him. “Bes, mama daw! Wah! first word ni Milo mama!!! Wait, bakit hindi Tita Milo? Maduga!!!” she said.
I just laugh at Blace because her reaction looks so serious naparabang nagtataka talaga siya. I kiss Milo’s forehead.
Mama is always here for you Baby.
Chapter 3
-NEW START-
“As of the month of September, the most waited opening of Del Mundo Corporation will be held in The Philippines with the new owner of the corporation Mr. Jace Del Mundo, together with his lovely wife Aubrey Torres, they will come back here in the Philippines to open their new branch.”
Nanonood ngayon si Blace ng balita, at tama ba ang narinig ko babalik na siya? Bumalik man siya o hindi sinisigurado ko na hindi na kami magkikita muli, hindi dapat magtagpo ang aming mga landas. Hindi na muli.
“Best, sa tingin mo ba hahanapin ka niya?” kunot noong tanong ni Blace habang kumakain siya ng ice cream sa harap ko.
“Hanapin man niya ako o hindi, ang importante ay hindi niya malaman ang tungkol kay Milo, at isa pa nasa Palawan tayo malayo ito sa Manila kaya imposibleng mangyari yang nasa isip mo,” I said, while I was busy cooking the meal for our dinner later.
Basta ang mahalaga ay hindi na magtagpo ang landas naming dalawa, lalo na silang dalawa ng anak kong si Milo.
“Best, siya nga pala sabi ni Adine, magkakaroon na daw ng free slot sa mall next month, baka daw gusto nating igrab para mag open ka na daw ng sarili mong boutique, what do you think?” ngumungiya nitong sambit.
“Hmmm…. , satingin ko sapat naman na yung ipon ko para mag start ng business so why not? sabihin mo sa kanya, we’ll get it and let’s fix some designs that will advertise our boutique. mas magandang handa na tayo bago pa makuha ang place.” nakangiti kong sambit, I’m confident about it.
“Great!” she stood up and grab the papers with my designs. Tama naman siya lumalaki na si Milo at lumalaki na’rin pangangailangan niya, kailangan ko ng mas malaking ipon para doon, at siguradong hindi sapat ang ipon na meron ako ngayon sa mga susunod na taon. I think its a good opportunity to have my own business, this not just for me but for my son too.
“Welcome! Villaruels Clothing Line is now offering you the most affordable gowns and dresses with a branded level quality. The gowns and dresses are designed by Miss. Villaruel, whose also well known in the fashion industry, she was once an employed designer in L.A. Gowns and now she’s bringing the L.A. masterpiece here in Palawan!” it’s been months of long progress and here we are now.
As the MC introduces my business to everyone, I can see a lot of possible customers here, because it’s very visible in their faces that my clothing catches their attention with its low price and high quality.
Blace was right, this thought of starting my own business will be successful because the target market here is very high. Grand opening pa lang ay dinumog na kami dito sa Clothing line namin sa mall. Thank you lord.
Naging busy ako nitong nagdaang araw, Dahil bumagsak ang order sa clothing line at medyo natambakan kami sa trabaho. I was in front of the computer for almost a week, but I never forget about my son Milo. I always make time for him, sometimes I bring him with me here in the shop, then let him play around with the staff.
He’s turning 2 years old next month, so I’m preparing for his coming birthday celebration even though I’m busy here in the Shop, I still choose to be the one who will organize his party and I’ve decided that it will be just a simple celebration just me, Blace, some of my colleagues and my staff’s is enough to celebrate with him. I wanted us to have some privacy for his special day.
Marami-rami na rin kasi ang nagiging curious sa aamin, mga nagtatanong kung sino ang ama ng anak ko, asan ang tatay ni Milo. I just answer them that I got pregnant by a random stranger back then, kesa sabihin ko na ang bestfriend ko ang ama ng anak ko na kasalukuyang may masayang pamilya na ngayon. iniiwasan ko rin na maiugnay si Milo sa kanyang ama, lalo na’t kilala sa buong bansa si Survey.
“Pa-order nga ng isang box ng Cherrymilk smile d’yan,” naagaw ng malambing na boses na iyon and aking atensyon kung kaya napalingon ako sa pinto ng opisina ko.
I smiled at him and said, “Cj, oh bakit ka naparito?” tanong ko, He’s Cj, my friend here in Palawan. I happened to meet him in our first day here in Palawan, naligaw kami noon at siya ang nag-iisang taong tumulong sa amin ni Blace noon.
“Nasaan si pareng Milo? Gusto ko kasi makipaglaro sa kanya,” he said while roaming his eyes around the shop. When he saw Milo carried by one of my staff here in the botigue, he instantly runs to him and gets him. He played with my son here inside the shop.
Hinayaan ko siya na gawin ang gustong gawin sa anak ko. Since he always visits us here in the shop, but I know it was my son who’s the main porpose why he alwasy visit midst of his busy schedules.
“Oh, di mo sinabi may Kapre pa lang bumisita dito sa shop, sana nakapag ready ako ng bawang sa entrance para hindi nakapasok!“Blace’s irritated voice surrounds the whole shop as she enters the office and saw Cj’s presence.
These two never let the day pass without even fighting, I don’t know? ever since we meet Cj, Blace’s blood boils every time she sees him and ends up having fights with him. Cj always teases Blace about her addiction with BL actors, because Blace was a big fan of Boys love movies and stories.
“Hindi mo ’rin kayang magdala ng bawang dito, dahil aswang ka’rin, fair and square, right!?“pangaasar na tugon naman ni Cj sa kanya, kahit na di niya tinitingnan si Blace dahil busy siya makipaglaro kay Milo.
At ito namang si Milo, ay tumawa lang na para bang naiintindihan niya ang asaran nila Cj at Blace. “Jusme! Lord, guide me baka makapatay po ako ng wala sa oras,” Blace said while rolling her eyes and glaring at Cj.
“Jusme! lord guide me baka makapatay ako nye nye nye,” Cj’s mocking what Blace said that makes me laugh. Itong dalawang itong baka ito rin ang magkatuluyan sa huli. Please lord guide them.
“Stop na guys Blace tara na may imemeet pa tayo. Cj please take care of Milo for me ok “ I said while fixing my bag and putting some papers for the customer inside my bag. Blace also grabbed her bags and followed me out of the shop.
“Ingat ka Cherry, yang kasama mo ibenta mo na, wag mo na isama pabalik diba pareng Milo,” Cj said as if nagkakaintindihan talaga sila ni Milo. Binilisan na lang ni Blace ang hakbang paalis at iniwan ako dito sa loob, dahil sa sobrang inis kay Cj.
“Ikaw talaga! Hindi mo na tinigilan si Blace?” sambit ko at tinakot si Cj.
“Ako ba ang nagsimula?” tanong niya at halatang hindi nakokonsensya sa pang-aasar kay Blace.
“Bahala nga kayo, sige na alis na ako, bye baby Milo,” I kiss Milo’s forehead and follow Blace’s outside.
Sanay na akong iniiwan si Milo kay Cj kasi siya naman lagi kong iniiwanan kay Milo at ok lang naman sa kanya he’s a true friend and he love’s Milo so much just like Blace love him, este love Milo pala.
“What is your plan for the future?” Tanong ni Survey out of the blue.
“Magtatayo ako ng sarili kong clothing line at wala pang grand opening dadagsain na ako ng maraming customers at marami na akong nakatambak na orders, and my clothing line will boom , as in sikat! What do you think?” excited kong sambit habang kinakain ang inorder kong Ramen sa kanyang harapan.
“I think that is possible, and when that happens, I will be your first investor or I will help you promote your business in my corporation,” he genuinely said, but still deson’t giving a single glance, he’s also busy eating his Ramen too. It’s our favorite.
“Talaga ba? sige, tingnan na;tin Mr. C.E.O. haha,” I laugh when I see him smirk because of the word CEO.
Are we still together in the future Survey?
“Hoy nakangiti ka dyan?” I blink twice when Blace claps in front of my face and looks at me with her serious face.
“Wala lang, bawal na ba ako ngumiti,” sambit ko at nagsimula ng maglalakad ng mabilis.
“Wag mong sabihin naalala mo na naman si Survey?” she hazes and cross her arms beside me.
“Naalala ko lang yung sanabi ko kay Survey, about my dream clothing line and ngayon meron na talaga akong clothing line at tambak na orders, just like what I’ve said to him back then,” I smile again.
“Yeah, yeah yeah, wala na tayong time para sa throwback thursday mo, dahil malalate na tayo sa tambak na ang orders,” she said and sumakay na sa jeep wrangler niya at ganun din ako.
Nang kami ay makasakay na, tumunog ang cellphone ko. When I glance at it, I saw Miss Cruz is calling.
“Hello, Miss Cruz, yes we’re on our way ma’am,” I said and turned off the phone, Blace looked at me and started the engine.
“Ok, let’s go!”
Chapter 4
-I HATE YOU-
Right now, I am wearing a white blouse paired with white shorts and top it up with a yellow coat, and black boots. I’m attending a branch opening of Miss Cruz, kasi isa siya sa mga major customers ko a clothing line, malaki ang tulong niya sa Shop ko kung kaya’t hindi ko siya mahindian.
“Blace, ayaw mo ba talaga ako samahan doon?” tanong ko dito habang sinusuot ang aking hikaw sa harap ng vanity table, dito sa kwarto.
“Best, may hinihintay ako na premeire ng BL series na pinapanuod ko mamayang 10:30, hindi talaga ako makakasama sayo,” tugon nito habang nagtitimpla siya ng chocolate drink sa kusina.
Isang malalim na pagbuntong ang aking pinakawalan at sinabi, “Talagang pagdating sa BL mong yan, pagpapalit mo talaga ako noh,” sambit ko, ngumiti ito bago magsalita. “Oo naman best hahaha, tyaka nandyan naman yung kapreng ’yon, sasamahan ka naman niya diba, so ok na ka na, hayaan mo na ako dito.” Lumapit ito s akin, “Isa pa walang kasama si Milo dito,” tumayo na ako at inayos ang aking sarili, lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ang aking mga balikat.
“Go na, bye! Enjoy!” sambit niya at itinulak na ako palabas ng bahay, tingnan mo nga naman kaibigan ko ba talaga ito?
Mas importante talaga ang BL niya, pagkalabas ko ng bahay sakto naman ang pagdating ng Ford ni Cj, lumabas siya, wearing a normal pants with gray dresser shit na nakabukas yong dalawang botones sa taas, and he paired it with a white airforce shoes, as expected gwapo pa ’rin ang dating nito kahit sa simpleng damit.
Kahit saan naman gwapo siya eh. Also, he’s an architect here in Palawan and model din siya minsan, sumasideline ang lolo niyo. Infact he’s one of the model of our clothing line, for mens and suits.
“Taray na’tin madam, saan lakad na’tin?” he playfully said, and then he open the door of his car for me.
“Sa fashion show sa L.A. lang naman, malapit lang” sinakyan ko ang trip niya at confident na sumakay sa loob ng passenger seat, I smile at him. he chukled and said. “Wow, lapit nga L.A. lang hahaha,” sinarado niya ang pinto at sumakay sa drivers seat, and start the engine. Tumawa na lang din ako kasama siya at dumiretso na kami sa opening.
Survey’s Point of View
“Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon welcome on board. This is Captain Gonzales speaking..” I close my eyes, take a nap on the flight, and after hours.
“Latest update on the weather at our destination will be given as we approach Manila, Philippines,” I open my eyes hearing those words from the cabin.
I’m finally back.
Cherry Milk’s Point of View
“Thank you for coming everyone, please enjoy the food that we are serving, and take a good look at our shop and our products,” sambit ni Miss Cruz habang nasa harapan at lahat ng atensyon ay na sa kanya. After that, she step out of the mini-stage here at the venue, and enter the shop first, sinundan siya ng lahat ng tao dito sa venue papasok sa kanyang bagong shop.
“Malaki naman pala itong shop ni Miss Cruz,” Cj uttered while his eyes were roaming around the place, inspecting the measurements of the place, the interior, and anything that an Architecture would notice, that a normal person like me won’t understand.
“Yeah, kaya nga napakagandang opportunity na makapartner siya hindi ba?” ani ko, ngumiti habang kumuha ng drinks para sa aming dalawa, at inabot kay Cj ang isang cocktail.
“Miss Villaruel, hello,” napalingon ako kaagad ng marinig ang boses ni Miss Cruz, lumapit ito sa akin at agad akong niyakap ng mahigpit.
“Oh, who’s this? Your husband ba?” she suddenly ask and glance at Cj, nagulat ako at natawa ng bahagya, at yung katabi ko parang nasamid ng wala sa oras dahil sa sinabi ni Miss Cruz. Paglingon ko sa kanya, kitang kita ko na nagpipigil ng tawa si loko.
“No, he’s my friend, Architect Perez,” pagpapakilala ko kay cj and miss cruz smile at him and nakipagkamay pa
“Akala ko husband mo, hahaha sorry, well, I’m Lalaine Cruz, nice meeting you Architect Perez,” sambit nito at parang iba yung tingin ni Miss Cruz kay Cj, kaya napangiti ako ng wala sa oras. Agad namang sumulyap si Cj sa akin, naparang gusto niyang sabihing naiilang siya sa tingin na ibinabato sa kanya ni Miss Cruz. Nakakatawa ang mukha nito.
“Ahm, nice meeting you too, ano, Cherry, restroom lang ako ah,” he said at agad umalis si loko, natakot ata kay Miss Cruz. Paglingon ko kay Miss Cruz, nakasunod pa rin tingin nito kay Cj. Napusuan ata ni Miss Cruz si Cj hahaha.
I chuckled and just take my drink, look around and enjoy the view of the shop until matapos ang buong event at nakapagpaalam na kami kay Miss Cruz. Cj drove me home after the event.
Pagbukas ko ng pinto ng bahay, agad kong nakita ang mukha ni Blace habang naka suot ng pajamas at nakatutok sa kanyang laptop with matching kinikilig face. “Tingnan mo yan, sa tingin ko kailangan mo na ipacheck yang kaibigan mo, baliw na ata yan eh,” rinig kong bulong ni Cj sa tabi ko habang nakatitig sa nakangiting si Blace na parang nandidiri.
I just laugh at them at dumiretso sa kusina, pagkapasok ko pa lang ng kusina narinig ko na agad ang iringan ng dalawa sa labas. “Hoy gago, tapos mo na ihatid yung bestfriend ko pwede ka nang umalis, parang awa mo na nakakaasiwa yang mukha mo, nasusuka ako,” rinig kong asik ni Blace kay Cj.
“Ha?” Cj answers.
“Sabi ko umalis kana kasi——” ,“hotdog,” hindi pinatapos ni Cj si Blace magsalita, natawa naman ako kay Cj, loko talaga, ang lakas mang-asar. Lumabas ako ng kusina habang iniinom ng tubig sa baso.
“Fuck you!!!” malutong at madiin nitong sambit, with matching middle finger pasi Blace kay Cj. “Hoy, bastos nito,” sagot ni Cj napara bang hindi naapektuhan sa pagmura sa kanya ni Blace, immune na siya.
“Hoy, tama na yan, sige na Cj, ingat ka sa paguwi ah, salamat ulit,” samabit ko at tiningnan si Cj, at umupo ako sa tabi ni Blace. “Oo, aalis na ako Cherry, kasi yang kaibigan mo. Pinagnanasaan na ako fuck you daw, virgin pa ako noh tsk tsk tsk,” mapangasar talaga, tiningnan ko si Blace na parang unti na lang sasabog na siya sa galit, umalis na si Cj, at ng wave muna bago tuluyang isinara yung pinto
“Punyeta talaga yang kapreng yan, mapapatay din kita someday,” habang sumasapak sa ere si Blace na parang nakikita niya ang mukha ni Cj sa ere, “Tama na yan haha, tulog naba si Milo?” tanong ko, sabay kuha ng popcorn na kinakain niya.
“Oo kanina pa alam mo naman iyon, bilis makatulog ng batang ’yon kaya di ako nahihirapan patulugin siya pagwala ka,” sambit niya, after that focus na ulit siya sa pinapanuod niya. “Ok, I’ll sleep na, iwan na kita d’yan,” pagpapaalam ko, at pagpasok ko sa kwarto agad kong nakita si Milo sa crib, mapayapa itong natutulog, kaya nagpalit na ako ng damit.
Pagkatapos ay humiga na ako sa kama sa tabi ng crib ni Milo, at unti-unti na akong hinilla ng antok, hanggang sa hindi ko namalayan ako ay tuluyan nang nakatolog dahil sa sobrang pagod.
“Survey, pwede mo ba akong samahan pumili ng damit nasusuotin sa from next week?” sambit ko pilit kong kinukuha ang atensyon niya paano naglalaro na naman siya sa nintendo niya. “Sure,
“ he said, kahit na hindi tumitingin sa’kin.
“Sino date mo sa from pala?“tanong ko, “Y
ou“ he instantly answer and look at me. “
ako?“ hindi makapaniwala kong tanong, totoo ba?
“Yes,” Sagot niya, p
inipigilan kong ngumiti kasi kinikilig ako ng sobra. “My m
om will kill me if I find a new partner, so I don’t have a choice haha,“ bigla namang nawala ang saya sa puso ko ng marinig iyon.
Tama, Cherry naman kailan ka ba pinili dahil gusto ka talaga? Napipilitan lang siyang gawin iyon dahil sa mama niya.
Siguro kung hindi magagalit si tita sa kanya, hindi ako nito pipiliing maging partner.
Destiny you are so cruel to me, do you know that.
I hate you!!!

Survey’s Point of View
“Welcome back, iho,” I saw my mom running towards my place, giving me a tight embrace. How I miss this kind of embrace.
“How are you mom?” I hugged her back, It’s been two years since I leave this country for my wife’s dreams.
“Nasaan si Aubrey? Akala ko ba sabay kayong babalik dito sa pinas?” Mom with her curious expression ask while were entering the house, all my suitcase were taken by the maids and fix it inside my room for sure.
“Next month, Mom, she’ll be here,” I answered. “How’s the business in London, anak?” Mom asks while seating on the couch in front of me.
“It was fine mom, last year it increase its sales because of the new inducers “
“How about Aubrey? kailan niyo ba balak mag ka anak , Jace anak sinasabi ko sayo di na ako bumabata” she haze at me.
“Mom, Aubrey is in the pick of her career right now, things like that can wait, mom,” I take a deep breath, and massage the bridge of my nose to release some stress. I always got pressured when it comes to that topic. I need some rest right now.
“Jace anak, ok pa ba kayo ni Aubrey?” I glance at my mom as she asks that question, and I can see through her eyes that she is serious about this matter.
“Yeah, I think so,” I whsipered.
Cherry Milk’s Point of view
“Happy birthday, Milo, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday Milo,” everyone at the party is smiling at him, he raises the side of his lips, trying to control his genuine smile and cute dimple, “Blow the candle,” I uttered, I help him and lean closer towards the cake. and help him blow his candle. He let out a small giggle when everyone claps at what he did.
Agad namang lumapit sa akin si Cj, para kunin si Milo sa’kin ng mapansin niya na medyo nahihirapan akong buhatin ito. lumalaki na kasi ang anak ko at medyo bumibigat na ’rin, sobrang bilis lumaki ng mga baby.
“Miss Villaruel, picture po kayo, ma’am,” isa sa mga camera man na kinuha ko para sa party, ang lumapit sa’min at nag-alok na kuhanan kaming tatlo ng picture.
I nodded at him and pull Cj and Milo close to me. We smile and the cameraman took some pictures of us.
“Miss Villaruel, you have a good-looking family,” the cameraman said while genuinely smiling at us, naparang humahanga siya sa itsura naming tatlo, ano family kaming tatlo? napangiti ako sa sinabi ni kuya at nagsalita.
“Ah, hindi ko po siya asawa, kaibigan ko po siya,” sambit ko sabay siniko si Cj para tulungan ako magpaliwanag sa camera man, na halatang hindi naniniwal base as kanyang expression.
“Opo, ate ko po siya hmf hahaha,” Cj joked at tumawa ng malakas sa aking tabi. Loko talaga nito, ate n’ya daw ako eh, isang buwan lang tanda ko sa kanya.
“Ganon ba? I’m sorry, akala ko siya ang tatay ni Milo, pasensya na iha, bagay kasi kayo,” nahihiyang sambit nito, he just smiled at us and continue taking some picture around here the party.
“Cherry, hindi mo naman sinabi sa’kin na may pagkatyismosa pala yung hinire mong camera man, paladesisyon, bagay daw tayo eh, tao tayo, si Manong talaga hahaha,” pabiring hirit ni Cj habang nilalaro si Mali gamit ang isang balloon.
“Hayaan mo na… Nga pala, nasaan si Blace?” kanina ko pa hindi mahagilap ang babaeng iyon eh. Saan na naman kaya nagsusulok iyon?
“Nandon, nakita ko sa labas may kausap na lalake, naglalandi ata yung alaga mong aso,” parang naiiritang sambit ni Cj habang busy makipaglaro kay Milo, pinagmasdan ko kung paano halos magdikit ang dalawang kilay niya dahil sa sobrang pagkakunot nito.
“Oh ano, selos ka naman?” I tease him.
“Ako!? magseselos sa baliw na’yon tsk! Naawa lang ako ’don sa lalake kung sakali hindi niya alam abnormal kausap niya, nakakaawa,” He let out a playful smirk, and continue playing with my son.
Iniwan ko muna sa kanya si Milo at nakipagusap ako sa mga ibang bisita at tumulong na’rin mag serve ng food sa guest. As the party ended, konti-konti na’ring nagsiuwian ang mga bisita hanggang sa kami na lang nila Blace at Cj ang natira dito. tinutulungan ako ni Blace magligpit habang si Cj ay busy na pinapatulog si Milo sa itaas.
“Hoy, babae sino yung kausap mo kaninang lalake nagbabalik loob ka na ba, hindi ka na puro BL?” kinikilig kong sambit, kinikilig ako dahil alam kung nagseselos si Cj kanina, ayaw niya lang umamin.
“Huh! lalaki?“nagtatakang sambit niya na parang pinipilit alalahanin ang mga ginawa niya kanina at kung sino ang kanyang kinausap na lalaki. I stop for a seconds and stare at her, waiting for her answer.
“Oo, kanina may kausap ka daw na lalaki sa labas, sabi ni Cj,” sambit ko ng makita na wala namang pag-asa na maalala niya ito mag-isa dahil ulyanin siya.
“Gaga, si Jennie ’yon yong frieny ko na pogay pero hindi makapagladlad, siya yung sinasabi ko sayo hahaha,” tawa siya ng tawa na parang malaking kalokohan ang sinabi ko, “Ganun ba, akala ni Cj lalake mo eh, nagselos tuloy yong tao.” malokong kong sambit.
Agad namang sinamid si Blace sa sarili niyang laway at parang nasusuka pa ang gaga dahil sa narinig. OA ah, bagay talaga kayo ni Cj.
“Tangina, hahaha, ano ba yang joke mo hahaha, Huy, hindi ako pumapatol sa lalaki at lalo na sa kapreng bakla na iyon. Alam ko namang may tinatago yun eh hahaha alam mona,” binigyan niya ako ng makahulugang tingin na parang sinasabi na bakla si Cj.
Natawa na lang ako sa kanya at umiling iling bago ipinagpatuloy ang pagliligpit, maaga pa ako bukas sa trabaho kaya hindi ko na pinaglaban si Cj kay Blace ngayon, bahala na sila.
“Good morning, can I talk to Miss Villaruel?” someone approaches me.
“Ahm yes, I’am Miss Villaruel, what can I help you?” I greeted him with a sweet smile and ask him back.
“Our company would like to negotiate with your clothing line,” he said. “If you don’t mind we can go to my office, Sir, and let’s talk about this inside,” I uttered and he instantly nodded, “This way, Sir.”
Bago maglakad lumingon ako at hinanap ng mata ko si Blace, “Ahm! Blace come with me,” I called her out, agad naman siyang tumango at sumunod sa akin sa loob.
Pagpasok namin sa opisina ko, pinaupo ko yung lalake sa harap ng table ko. May minnie office kasi ako dito sa botique ko for business purposes, and some agenda’s like these.
“I’m Arthur Lopes from DLM Corp. I was on a vacation here in Palawan and I’ve noticed that your clothing line is booming here, I can see that your designs are worth negotiation and can fight with city clothing,” nakangiting sambit ni Mr.Arthur.
What a blessing!
“Wow, thank you for noticing our clothing line, Sir.” masiglang sambit ko dahil sa sobrang tuwa, this is a good opportunity, mas malaki ang matatanggap ng clothing line ko at mas makikilala ito if, ever I grab this opportunity.
“So, I was saying DLM Corp. is opening for another branch in Manila and we need some good clothing line to work with, para mag increase agad ang sales ng mga product at artist ng corp. namin. Would you like to be one of our partners, I’ll gladly recommend you to the C.E.O. as soon as possible, pagpumayag ka lang dito, and I will give it a go stright to the CEO.” parang pusigido siya na mapa-oo ako sa uri ng kanyang pananalita.
“Ahmm… In terms of partnership Mr. Arthur, our clothing line is very well open for that, but hindi po ba masyadong maliit ang clothing line namin para sa malaking Corporation?” I hesitatingly said and glanced at Blace, She was nodding so fast while smiling at me. I know this is a big shot but I can’t help to worry, since that is a big company.
“Well, I’ll risk my name here Miss, nakita ko ang ganda ng clothing line mo, at I will recommend you to the C.E.O. which means a big effort from me, and hindi naman kita sasadyain dito kung alam kong wala lang ang clothing line mo, this is worth a shot right, believe me.” Mr. Arthur said.
Tama siya at isa pa napakalaking opportunity nito para sa;min, so why not grab it, Cherry?
“Ok, its a deal, I’ll wait for your call pagnakausap niyo na po ang CEO niyo. This is my calling card please, let me know Mr.Arthur if our clothing line was approved by your CEO, here are some of our designs, this might help you pursue a yes from the CEO,” I smile and handed him some of our design brochures, as he leaves agad namang lumapit sa’kin si Blace.
“Bes, sobrang laking blessing nito sa atin, sana maapprove ng CEO yung mga designs natin, ano nga ulit name ng corp. daw nila?” excited niyang sambit na may kasama pang pag-alog ng aking kamay.
“DLM corp. new branch sa Manila, siguro starting corporation pa lang iyon kaya open for partnerships gaya ng clothing line na’tin,” I uttered and as I think of the corporation parang pamilyar sa’kin yung corp. name pero wala pa akong naririnig na DLM corporation, basta if they approved us. I’ll grab it for sure, for the clothing line and for Milo’s future.
Thank you, Lord, for this blessing…
Chapter 16
Lumipas ang ilang linggo laging tumatawag sa akin si Survey ng 10 pm para lang magtanong kung kamusta ang araw ko at matulog siya habang on call sa akin.
Sa tingin ko ok naman ang ganito, parang pakiramdam ko bumabalik yung friendship namin, kaya ok na sa akin ang makausap siya, hindi na din ako umasa sa lovestory.
“Mommy door,” sambit ni Milo at pilit inaabot ang hawakan ng pintuan dito sa kwarto, para makalabas na siya lumapit ako sa kanya at binuhat siya at lumabas ng kwarto holiday ngayon kaya hindi ko muna inopen yung shop rest day na’rin ng staff ko at namin ni Blace.
Madalang na ’din magparamdam si Cj dahil busy sa contraction site, pero nagtetext naman siya sa’kin lagi, ewan ko lang kay Blace hindi niya kasi nababanggit sa’kin eh. Feeling ko hindi naman siya tinetext ni Cj

“Oh, napatawag ka?” sagot ko sa tawag ni Survey. “What’s better sky blue or ash grey?”
“Huh, para saan?” tanong ko. “For my necktie,” bumagsak naman ang balikat ko sa sinabi nya necktie lang.
“Para sa necktie lang tumawag ka pa,” hindi makapaniwala kong tanong.
“What do you think?” tanong nito mula sa kanilang linya. “Ash gray na lang,” sambit ko.
“Ok, I have to go, bye,” sambit nito at pinatay na ang tawag.
“Wow, asawa ka friend?” malokong sambit ni Blace habang nagbubuhat siya ng mga damit.
“Gaga magkaibigan kami gaya ng dati ok na ako no to love” sagot ko sabay buhat ng box ng damit at pinasok sa office ko.
“Baka mamaya mahulog ka ulit.” biglang seryoso nitong sambit.
“Hindi na si Milo lang sapat na sa akin,” tugon ko.
“Ok,” tumatango-tango nitong sambit, “Kanina pa tunog ng tunog yang cellphone mo, dami naman atang nagtetext sayo nitong mga nagdaan araw,” pagiiba ko ng usapan, napapansin ko kasi laging tumutunog phone niya.
“Oo, madaming kapre ang nagtetext sa’kin.” iritable nitong sagot.
“Ay si Cj ’yan? hahaha,” agad sumilay ang ngiti sa aking labi ng marinig iyon, si Cj naman pala eh hahaha.
Dahil hindi makaalis sa trabaho sa text na lang kinulit si Blace, aba iba ka talaga Cj. “Mommy mommy,” tawag sa akin ni Milo kaya agad ko siyang nilapitan ’don sa sofa.
“Why baby?” tanong ko. “Mmmm,” sabay turo niya sa toys niya na nakalinya sa harap niya.
“Wow, galing naman ni Milo namin,” sabi ni Blace ng mapansin ang tinuturo ni Milo, napangiti naman ako kay Milo dahil doon at binuhat siya, kiniss kiss sa tiyan niya para makiliti siya ng konti, tawa lang siya ng tawa.
Medyo bumibilis na lumalaki si Milo, kaya medyo nalulungkot ako parang dati lang ang liit-liit niya lang sa bisig ko, ngayon nakakapaglakad na ang baby ko at nagsasalita na ng konti.
“Ma’am, may bisita po kayo sa labas papasukin ko na po ba?” sabi ni Adine sa’kin tumango na lang ako sa kanya bahang inaayos ko ang nagulong damit ni Milo dahil kiniliti ko siya.
“Cherry, iha,” its tita Mikka. “Tita, kumusta po,” nalaki ang aking mga mata ng makita siya, agad akong lumapit sa kanya at yumakap bago binigay si Milo sa kanya.
Nong nakaraang linggo din dumalaw dito si tita na para bang sobrang lapit lang ng Manila dito sa Palawan, gusto niya daw kasi makabonding si Milo ng mas madalas.
Tita Mikka is so kind hinayaan niya ako sa desisyon ko at sinusupportahan at ginagabayan niya ako, hindi nya rin sinabi kay Survey ang tungkol kay Milo dahil naniniwala siya may tamang panahon daw para malaman ni survey ang tungkol kay milo at alam niya daw one day ako ang magsasabi non kay Survey.
Pero siguro matagal pa ’yon, I let her play with Milo all day, and it’s a good thing kasi mas napabilis ang trabaho dahil di ko masyado iniisip si Milo.
Maagang nagpaalam si tita dahil may pupuntahan daw siyang amiga sa isang resort dito sa Palawan kaya umalis na din siya babalik daw siya next month dito.
We went home, after work at guess what, hindi pa ’rin tumigil kakatunog ang cellphone ni Blace kaya pag kadating sa bahay iniwan niya ang cellphone niya sa sala, at umakyat sa kwarto niya. Ganun din ako pero sa kwarto ko ako pumasok para ilagay si Milo sa higaan dahil tulog na naman ang bata.
Lumabas ako sa kwarto para sana kumuha ng tubig ng marinig ko ang sunod-sunod na tunog ng laptop ni Blace at— “Ahhh tangina! Kailan ka ba titigil!!!” napatakip ako ng tenga sa lakas ng sigaw ni Blace, buti na lang hindi madali magising si Milo. Bumaba na ako papuntang kusina ng pailing-iling sa tuwa dahil nacucutan ako kay Cj at Blace apakaLAKAS talaga ni Cj, hahahaha…
