Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE (Special Chapter)
(This part of the story is told through Maui's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) Florence entered into the place with her natural radiance, like a ray of sunshine in a gloomy morning, wearing a pale yellow flowy dress. I was waiting for her here in the roof deck of a restaurant, which I rented just so we could talk privately. She simply smiled as she walked towards me. I stood up to meet her and pull a seat for her across mine. For a moment, no one between us utters a word. Maybe, were waiting for each other to initiate a conversation. I'm kinda' feeling jittery, and awkward. But I invited her over, and she decided to come. So I thought I have to make this moment worthwhile. "I...uh, ordered for us." I tried not to stammer on my words, but I did. Like a school boy in front of his childhood crush. "S-salamat." Ngumiti siya na para bang nahihiya, o naiilang? I can't figure out, but maybe a combination of the two. I can't blame her as I feel the same way. "Kumusta

(This part of the story is told through Maui's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) "Ahh, M-maui, may ibibigay pala sana ako sa 'yo." May iniabot si Florence sa akin. It was wrapped in a parchment paper with a thin red ribbon to bind the wrapper. "What's this?" I asked while unwrapping what she gave me. It is an unfinished sketch of my face in charcoal pencil, enclosed in a wooden frame. I easily recognized that it was me despite the fact that some parts are not shaded yet. "Ibibigay ko sana sa 'yo 'yan sa 1st anniversary natin," paliwanag niya. "Kaso.. k-kaso hindi na umabot. Kaya hindi ko na tinapos. Ayoko namang itapon, pero ayoko na ring itago. Kung.. kung gusto mong tapusin, o may kilala kang puwedeng magdugtong, ipagawa mo na lang siguro. O i-dispose mo na lang. Ang importante ay maibigay ko 'yan sa 'yo." "No, I won't dispose this, definitely. But I will keep it this way." I smiled. This will be a very good reminder of our relationship. Seems unfinished, yet there's
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
"Bakit po tayo nandito?" Nagulat ako nang huminto ang kotseng sinasakyan namin ni Sir Frank sa harap ng gusali kung saan naroon ang opisina ng Bermudez Builders. "You will know." Ngumiti siya. Kinabahan naman ako. Ganoon pa man ay tumuloy pa rin kami. Hindi niya naman kasi sinabi sa akin na dito ang tungo namin. Basta sabi lang ay may pupuntahan. Akala ko naman ay kakain lang sa labas o may papasyalan. Madalas kasi ay ganoon siya kapag nagyayaya, hindi sasabihin kung saan para surprise daw. Sa isang conference room kami dumiretso. Naroon at naghihintay ang dati kong boss na si Ms. Vicky at si Sir NMB na VP for Engineering. "G-good afternoon po," ako na ang naunang bumati pagkakita ko sa kanila. Naramdaman ko ang paglapat ng palad ni Sir Frank sa likod ko upang igiya ako patungo sa upuan. "Good afternoon, Ms. Catacutan, Mr. Ledesma," si Ms. Vicky ang sumagot sa amin. "Please have a seat." Nang magkakaharap na kami sa lamesa ay si Sir NMB na ang nagsimula ng pagpu

"Naku po, ito na naman ang chopper na 'to." Napa-antanda ako ng krus nang makita ang sasakyang-panghimpapawid na iyon. Narinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa ni Sir Frank dahil sa reaksiyon ko. "Sige, sa'n mo mas gustong sumakay? Diyan o sa 'kin?" "Ano po?" Nanlalaki ang mga matang napalingon ako sa kanya. "Wala. Sabi ko, I love you." Kinindatan niya ako. "Come on, get inside now." Inalalayan niya ako upang makasampa sa chopper. Tapos ay sumunod na rin siya at naupo sa tabi ko. Napahugot ako ng malalim na paghinga nang magsimulang suma-himpapawid ang chopper. Life is short to live in fear. Pumasok sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Maui noong nag-usap kami. Napagtanto ko na hindi lang iyon sa pag-ibig maaaring i-apply kundi sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay. "Close your eyes if you don't wanna see it," mahinang sabi ni Sir Frank sa likod ko. Nakatingin kasi ako sa kabilang direksyon, tinatanaw ang bughaw na langit at mga ulap. Umayos ako ng upo at tumingin sa kanya. "Maganda na

(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) I smiled upon seeing my beautiful wife...I mean, not yet but in a few moments. Actually, beautiful is an understatement. She looks regal like a queen, and immaculate like an angel, and charming like a kid. I don't know the exact description, but she's just a breathtaking combination of everything. She's walking down the aisle in her elegant wedding dress, which is a statement of how conservative and pure she is. Of all the dresses presented to her, she picked the one with the least details and with long sheer sleeves. Up until now, I'm still in awe that she accepeted my wedding proposal three months ago in Siargao. I thought she'll propose too, for us to be in a relationship first, like for a year or two maybe. I'm willing to oblige if in case she will. But no, she didn't. Right after that day, we started preparing for the wedding - that's how excited I am. And she willingly participated with

(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) "Baby, I have another vow that I can't say inside the church earlier." I gently sucked Florence's earlobe. "But let me tell it to you now." "A-ano 'yon?" She tried to turned to me so I kissed her cheek. "I promise, that from this day onwards, my soldier will never salute to any other woman, but you," I whispered on her ear. "Soldier?" she repeated. I chuckled. Mukhang hindi na naman niya na-gets. My innocent wife. I walked towards where she is facing. Tumingala siya para tignan ako, at halatang umiiwas din siya na mapatingin sa bakat na halos nakatapat na sa mukha niya. I grabbed her hand and slowly glided it to my abdomen, down to my navel, without losing my eye contact with her. And down to my manhood where I stopped and pinned her hand. "My soldier will always be loyal to you, wifey. He's all yours," I said. "And you can take him all in." I saw her doll eyes widen,
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE (Special Chapter)
(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) "Wifey." Florence stopped from mixing the batter and looked at me. "Uhmmm...bakit?" "I love you." I gave her a smack on the cheek. "Hala siya. I love you too." She gently caressed my face before returning to what she is doing. Alam ko naman na busy siya, gusto ko lang talagang mangulit. I want to be around her all the time. Na-obsess na yata ako dito sa asawa ko. Pinanood ko lang siya sa ginagawa niya habang nakatayo sa tabi niya at nakasandal ako sa kitchen counter. "Ang sarap mo namang bumatí." "Hoy, hala!" Napahinto siya sa ginagawa niya at nanlalaki ang mga matang tumingin sa akin. "Na-gets na. 'Di ka na inosente, baby girl." Tumatawang panunukso ko. "Doon ka na nga, baby," pagtataboy niya sa akin. "Wala akong matatapos niyan sa kaka-kulit mo sa akin." "Para saan ba kasi 'yan? You're doing what?" I asked. "Magbe-bake akong cupcakes," masayang sagot niya. "Firs
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO (Special Chapter)
(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) Florence gently caressed my jawline. I noticed that it seems to be her love language as she does that to me most of the time. And I'm lovin' it. I want the feel of her warm and soft palm against my skin. "So you've been in-love with me too all this time?" I was over the moon with that idea. "Eh...ganito kasi." And she went on telling me the exact reason why she left LDC before. Now, I understand why her decision was so sudden. And I admire her even more for being protective of her relationship with Maui before. One thing I need to work on is to not feel insecure whenever she talks about him. It's all in the past and I am his husband now, but sometimes, I can't help but feel that way. Maybe it's because I saw how in-love she is with him back then. "No'ng nagkita tayo sa Dubai no'n, no'ng unang beses kang pumunta. Naramdaman ko ulit 'yon, pero hindi pa ako sigurado," paliwanag pa niya.
