Eliyah's POVMaagang umalis si Justine kinabukasan. Pagkagising ko ay wala na siya. He left a note on the fridge saying that he went to school early because he has some errands to take care of. Pagkatapos kong basahin ang note na iniwan niya ay saka ako naghanda ng plato para sa akin. I also prepared a cup of milk for myself. Hindi ko na kailangan pang magluto ng umagahan ko dahil nakapaghanda na pala si Justine. Alas syete pa lang naman pero nakalimutan kong maaga pala ang pasok siya. For months that I stopped going to School, I still remember the lifestyle of a student. Getting up and preparing early in the morning, staying up late just to review for tomorrow's exams or quizzes, and partying because of a high score.Napangiti ako habang inaalala ang lahat ng iyon. At some point, do I regret this pregnancy? Mayroon akong tyansang ipa-abort ang bata. If that happened, I am very much sure I could continue my study. Pero buti na lang ay pinagpatuloy ko ang pagbubuntis ko. I regret nothi
Rex's POV"Do you really want me to leave?" I asked casually. Umiwas siya nang tingin habang dahan-dahang tumatango. I clenched my jaw to suppress my anger. Andito ako ngayon sa bahay na tinitirhan niya. I went here last night and I saw her in her bathroom, basang-basa habang walang malay. Nalaman kong pinalayas siya sa kanila. I couldn't believe her father! In the middle of the raining night?! Really?! At mas lalong hindi ko kinaya nang malaman kong pinapahirapan siya sa kanila. Nakakapanghina. I want to avenge, Eliyah at that moment. I want to fucking punch her father pero mas kailangan ako ni Eliyah. I'm not going to waste my time at them. Kaya dali-dali ko siyang pinuntahan sa tinitirhan niya.It pained me seeing her like that. Ilang araw na siyang hindi pumapasok kaya hindi ko maiwasang hindi mag-alala sa kanya. Nasasaktan akong panoorin siyang nagkakaganito. This is all my fault! Hindi ko maiwasang magsisi! B-Bakit siya lahat ang tumatanggap nito? Bakit hindi ako? Ako dapat ang
Eliyah's POVMy little sobs are the only sound heard in his bedroom. Nilipat niya ako kaninang madaling araw pagkatapos ng lahat ng ginawa niya sa akin. Nakakadiri. Nandidiri ako sa sarili. I felt used and betrayed. Kung alam ko lang na mangyayari ito, sana hindi na ako humingi ng tulong sa kanya! I could've just worked hard to survive! Ang tanga tanga ko! At si Rex? Where is he now? Ano'ng ginagawa niya rito? How did he know that I'm here? Hindi ko maiwasang umasa pa rin na darating siya at ililigtas ako rito... kahit na alam kong hindi. I didn't even know if that really was Rex or I just misheard it? But a part of me knew... a part of me is saying that it really is Rex. And somehow, I feel that it was Rex. Hindi na ako nakatulog ba buong magdamag habang si Justine ay payapang natutulog sa tabi ko. I want to stab him while he's fast asleep but I don't how powerful his family is... hindi ko alam kung ano ang makakaya nilang gawin. Then I thought of leaving him now... but I realized
Eliyah's POV"Sigurado ka bang kaya mo na? You can still stay here if you want, Eliyah..." halata ang pagkabahala sa mukha ni Cresia nang sabihin niya iyon. Andito kami ngayon sa bagong bahay na titirhan ko. It's been two months since I gave birth to my twins and I'm thankful that I have Cresia and Eliot beside me. Through months that we are together, I've built a good relationship with them. Sa kanila ako tumuloy hanggang sa makapanganak at maging ready na ako. Ako ang naghahanda ng mga gamit nila, ako na rin ang nagluluto, naglilinis, at nagpapa-alala ng mga kailangan nila. Kahit doon man lang, makapagpasalamat ako sa lahat ng naitulong nila sa akin. At dahil doon, nakapag-ipon ako kahit pa-paano para sa mga anak ko.Ngumiti ako kay Cresia at saka siya niyakap. "Ano ka ba, we can still call each other even if we're not living in the same roof anymore and if we have a time, we can visit you two," ani ko naman. She pouted her lips and acted like she's wiping her tears. Napahagikgik a
Eliyah's POVIt seems like my world has stopped spinning around. I felt like the world has beheaded me... multiple times. Bakit kailangang mangyari 'to sa anak ko? Is this the price of all the mistakes I've done? Is this a karma? If this is, then why my daughter?! Why not me?! I'm willing to catch everything! Even death! Just don't hurt my children! Huwag si Rexie o si Elijah! Ako na lang! Ako na lang ang magkasakit! Pero nanghina ako nang nag sink in sa akin ang lahat. It's true. My lovely daughter, Rexie, has a leukemia. Nang magising ako ay wala akong ibang maramdaman. Nakatulala lang ako habang iniisip ang lahat lahat. Up until now, I still can't believe that it's happening. Bumangon ako sa pagkakahiga. I want to see my daughter. Gusto kong alagaan at bantayan si Rexie. "Ma'am, are you sure you can do it?" tanong sa akin ng isang Nurse.I just nodded my head at her before going to my daughter's room. The Doctor said that we can get out of the Hospital by tomorrow already. Wala s
Eliyah's POVHindi na ako naghintay ng kahit na ano pa. Mabilis akong pumara ng taxi papuntang sakayan ng bus. I rode a bus to go to the Hospital that Aling Myrna has texted me. Kinabukasan na ako nakararing doon. Some Nurses and people are watching me like a hawk as I ran to my daughter's room. Hindi ko rin naman sila masisisi. I looked like a mess right now. Hindi ko na rin nagamit ang mga damit na dala ko kagabi. I just needed to go to my daughter!"A-Asan siya, Aling Myrna..." hinihingal kong ani nang makita ko sila.Aling Myrna didn't say anything. She just hugged me and she cried, hard. Tumingin ako kay Mang Jerry na malungkot na nakatingin sa amin. I saw him shook his head before he bowed down his head. Hindi. Aling Myrna must be joking. Hindi pwede 'to. Hindi pwedeng mangyari 'to! Inalis ko ang pagkakayakap ni Aling Myrna at saka siya hinarap. Nginitian ko siya habang pumapatak ang mga luha ko. "Aling Myrna, asan ang a-anak ko, hmm?" nabasag ang boses ko nang sabihin ang anak
Eliyah's POV"What did the Montello Lines reply?" I asked ny secretary as I busied myself on my computer. I glanced at my secretary then I raised an eyebrow. "T-They approved your request, Miss Cruz." sagot nito sa 'kin.I smirked because of that. "What a good news to start my day," ani ko saka humalakhak.It's been 5 years since we left the Philippines for the States. I worked as a bookkeeper for a year until I got promoted as a Head Accountant in an Accounting firm. The owner and I became close. Wala siyang anak o kahit kamag-anak na magmamana ng lahat ng ari-arian niya. Kaya nang namatay siya, hindi ko inaasahan na sa akin niya ipapamana ang lahat ng yaman, ari-arian, at negosyo na pagmamay-ari niya. Pero hindi ko ginamit iyon para sa pansarali kong kapakanan. I worked hard as a CEO and owner of different bussinesses just to earn. Lahat ng nakukuha ko roon ay iyon ang ginamit ko para makapagpatayo ng kompanya sa Pilipinas. I never imagined that I would and could build a company l
Eliyah's POVI couldn't sleep because of what my secretary has told me. Hindi pwede 'yon! The Cervantes gave us the project first! How did the Montello Lines get it? And fuck, in just a short period of time... they were able to steal what's ours?! What's mine?! I wanted to call the Cervantes right now and question their decision. But then, I know that I do not have a hold on this. We didn't sign any contract yet. I can't fight this up. I'll just waste my time if ever. I ran through my computer all night. I didn't sleep. I put all my time searching about Montello Lines. But in the end, I still get frustrated because the informations that I got was all basic informations. I need something deeply! And I know that Montello Lines are not the only business under the Montello Incorporated. This is why I shouldn't waste a time. I need to work hard for my revenge. I won't win if I'll let this continue. Because I know that at some point... they are now doing something to get their position bac
