SAC Chapter 21
Inilubog ni Catalina ang mga paa sa buhangin habang inaanod ito ng mga tubig. Naramdaman niya ang marahang pagupo ni Hugo sa likuran niya at masuyo siyang niyakap."Its already late... Bakit nandito ka pa sa labas?""I'm just thinking..."Marahang humalik si Hugo sa balikat ni Catalina. "Hm? What's bothering you?"Huminga ng malalim si Catalina. "Alessandra Patricio."Dumilim ang mukha ni Hugo. "Why?" Malamig niyang tanong."What was it like to be with her?" Mahinang tanong ni Catalina."Sienna...""No... I won't judge. It's fine. I just want to know.""Let's head back, babe."Umiling si Catalina. "Hugo... Bakit mo iniiwasan?""Hindi ko iniiwasan, Catalina. It's just not that important to tell you," mariin niyang sabi at tumayo.Sinundan siya ng tingin ni Catalina. Slowly when Hugo disappeared from her sight, she curled her knees and hugged them.

Chapter 22"Are you comfortable?" Hugo asked.Umirap si Catalina sa kaniya. She's done really. Nang malaman ni Hugo ang tungkol sa pagbubuntis ni Catalina ay lagi na itong maselan sa bawat galaw niya. Naisabi na ni Catalina lahat ng gusto niyang sabihin kay Hugo. She already confessed what he wanted her to confess. At ang sabi lang naman ni Hugo ay palalagpasin niya ito sa ngayon. The next time that she'll keep secrets from him will be a disaster for them."Pwede ba Hugo? Parang ikaw 'tong buntis sa ating dalawa."Hugo sighed and sat in front of Catalina who was busy eating a bowl of strawberries. "Nag-aalala lang ako."Catalina ate the last strawberry and pouted at Hugo. "Gusto kong lumabas..."Hugo sighed. "No. Muntik ka nang makidnap, at muntik ka nang mabaril. I won't risk another day just to see you end up dying."Sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Catalina. "Kaya ko sarili ko!""Paano ang anak natin?"Nat

Chapter 23Hawak-hawak ni Hugo ang kamay ni Catalina habang papasok sila sa Asya Premier. Hugo went up to the guardhouse for the golf cart's key but Catalina stopped him."Can we just walk back to the suite?""Are you sure hindi ka mapapagod?" Hugo asked.Tumaas ang kilay ni Catalina. "Do you think I'd be tired? Tignan mo kaya 'yan mga dala-dala mo tapos tignan mo kaya ako."Napatingin si Hugo sa sarili niya at bumalik ang tingin kay Catalina. It was true, Hugo was carrying everything they bought from the morning to the afternoon. Bukas na lang sila bibisita ng Puka Beach dahil hindi talaga kinaya ng balat ni Catalina ang init. Nahiya tuloy ang haring araw sa pagsikat sa kaniya."And walking is good for the pregnant," Catalina said, grinning from ear to ear.Mahinang natawa si Hugo. "Alright."They started walking inside. Asya Premier is big and vast. The street lights were like Paris' street lights. The suites
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 24
Chapter 24Hugo softly placed Catalina on the bed, not breaking the kiss. Nakapulupot lang ang braso ni Catalina sa batok ni Hugo habang nakikipag espadahan sa dila nito.Hugo put some weight on the bed as he took of his shoes. He could feel his erect manhood getting squeezed in his pants. Hugo groaned in between the kisses and pulled away.Mapupungay ang mga mata ni Catalina nang tignan siya nito. Her hormones are really killing her. She gets wet easily and she gets aroused easily too! Mariin siyang napapikit nang hubarin ni Hugo ang suot na pantaas. She opened her eyes again only to see him sexily unbuckling his belt. The way that his muscles flex as he pulled his belt around his pants and threw it somewhere. Muling dumapa si Hugo sa harapan niya para sakupin muli ang labi niya.Catalina accepted his kisses and it was the only thing that was making noise inside their room. Hugo's hands started roaming down from her neck to her chest. Marahan niyang pinisil ang

Chapter 25Catalina was wearing Hugo's shirt dress as she stared at the sunrise while eating the strawberries in the bowl. Tulog pa ang asawa jito at naisipang magmuni-muni sa balkonahe ng suite nila.She's wondering how people live here on the Island, was it always peaceful, or what other things happen without everyone's knowledge?Natigilan si Catalina nang may masuyong humalik sa balikat niya. Hugo sat on the chair beside her and watched her chew the strawberries."Good morning..." Hugo greeted."Morning," Catalina answered."I ordered breakfast, parating na."Tumango si Catalina at nilingon si Hugo. "Can we go to the market? I heard its in A.K.Y, meron din daw noon sa Talipapa but I really don't know where that is."Mahinang tumawa si Hugo. "You don't look like you don't know where it is."Natigilan si Catalina at mahinang natawa. "I'm guilty..." She said.Napailing si Hugo. "There are two

Chapter 26Ipinatong ni Gary ang tasa nang kape sa harapan ni Hugo na ngayon ay hinihilot ang sentido nito. Hugo sighed and took a sip of the coffee before taking another stick of cigarette and started smoking in his office."Sir, sigurado po ba kayong hindi kayo uuwi? Magpahinga po."Tinignan ni Hugo si Gary. "Mind your own business, Gary."Natutop ang labi ni Gary at marahang tumango. Lumabas siyang muli sa opisina ni Hugo. Hugo sighed and continued smoking, it's been three days since he last saw his wife. It's been three fcking straight days since he last got a good rest and sleep.Muling hinilot ni Hugo ang sentido nang titigan niya ang papel sa harapan niya. Nang makauwi si Catalina sa Iloilo ay agad niyang pinadalhan ng divorce papers ang opisina ni Hugo, but Hugo disagreed. He wanted to talk to her, tried contacting her, tried coming to the mansion. But everything was not going according to his plans. Natanggal na sa sistema na gin

Chapter 27"Hello? Sebastian? Finally! Dadalhin ko si Christian," Trina said in glee.Inubos ni Hugo ang sigarilyo niya. "No need, you don't want to show him what we're about to do, right?" Ngisi ni Hugo.Napakurap si Trina at nilingon ang anak. "Uhm... Sige..."Hugo sighed and took another cigarette stick. Napansin niya ang masyadong paninigarilyo nitong mga nakaraang araw dahil kay Catalina. She hasn't been answering his calls. At tuwing tumatawag si Hugo sa kaniya ay umiingay ang pangalan ng Garcia Corp sa balita. Hugo sighed and checked his wrist watch.Nakatayo si Hugo ngayon sa isang abandonadong building. This building was supposed to be a hotel, but they found coruption in the management and went bankrupt immediately. Tumagal pa ng ilang minuto ang paghihintay ni Hugo nang tuluyan niyang makita ang taxi ni Trina.Tumigil ang taxi sa harapan ni Hugo at bumaba doon si Trina nang nakakunot ang noo. Tinignan niya si Hugo nang

Chapter 28Ngising-ngisi si Hugo nang makita ang nakarehistrong pangalan ni Catalina sa cellphone niya. He bit his lower lip and leaned on his chair, inangat niya ang kamay niya kay Eric na nagrereport sa meeting room at pinatigil.Naptitig ang lahat kay Hugo nang damputin niya ang cellphone sa lemsa nang nakangiti. Naplunok ang lahat."Are you busy?" Nguso ni Catalina."Sort of, babe, why?"Lalong ngumuso si Catalina. "I'm craving for fast foods..."Mahinang natawa si Hugo. "Babe, it's not healthy for you."Ngumuso si Catalina. "No... Just this once please?"Napangiti lalo si Hugo. "Let me just finish this and I'll come over okay?"Tumango si Catalina. "I have a checkup tomorrow...""I'll come with you, then."Umiling siya. "Someone might see us..."Hugo chuckled. "Alright, I'll find a way.""Okay!" Masiglang sabi ni Catalina at pinatay ang tawag.Hinagis ni
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 29
Chapter 29Marahang napamulat si Catalina nang marinig niya ang munting pagbulong sa paligid. She roamed her eyes across the white room and frowned. Nakita ni Catalina ang kapatid ni Hugo na nakaupo sa sofa ng kwarto habang katabi ang ina nito. They were whispering things Catalina couldn't understand.Muling pumikit ng mariin si Catalina at nakinig. Everything was unclear to her, to her sight, to hear ears, and to her mind."Ano bang nangyayari sa kuya mo?" Inis na tanong ni Vina."Ma..." It was Artesia. "Let kuya be, I'm sure he's doing things for ate Cat."Napairap si Vina sa tinuran ng anak. "He's been away for half a month! Tapos mababalitaan natin na he's dating that bitch!""Ma!" Saway ni Artesia."No, 'wag mo akong pigilan, Kayla. Hugo did everything to get Catalina's attention, kung hindi lang sana malandi ang kuya mo hindi sana mangyayari 'to!"Hindi na sumagot si Artesia. Nilingon niya ang asawa ng kap
