Chapter 38Standing in front of the pool, Catalina and Hugo is viewing the shorelines of Amanpulo. It was scenic, beautiful— perfect rather, and the place itself was just peaceful.Napasinghap si Catalina sa ganda ng Amanpulo. She was clearly in awe, gusto niya sanang magtatalon-talon sa tuwa pero ang sama na ng tingin ni Hugo sa kaniya. Catalina was wearing a orange cut-out tube one piece that she topped with Hugo's dress shirt. Kung hindi lang sila nasa pribadong lugar siguradong kanina pa nagdasabog si Hugo sa selos."Do you know how revealing your one piece is?" Inis na tanong ni Hugo na nakabeach short lang.Umirap si Catalina. "C'mon, no one will see!""Babe, your boobs are popping out of your bikini!"Tinignan ni Catalina ang dibdib, it wasn't though, but her bikini was a tube type. Hindi naman luwa ang dibdib ni Catalina it's just showing her cleavage. Nagpamaywang siya at napataas ang kilay."You call cleavage 'popping out'?" She asked a little bit annoyed. "Ah, so lahat nang

Chapter 39Nakabusangot ang mukha ni Hugo habang nakatingin kay Catalina. She's been eating strawberries all day and even if they just finished snorkeling, she's eating strawberries again!"Ganoon na ba kasarap ang strawberry para kalimutan mo ako? I'm your fiancée, babe!"Tinignan siya ni Catalina at muling bumalik sa pagnguya ng strawberry. "'I'm in a good mood, babe... 'Wag mo akong galitin..." Pakantang sabi ni Catalina.Hugo sighed and sat beside Catalina. They're sitting on the couch outside their room villa. Kumuha na rin si Hugo ng strawberry at ngumuya ng mag-isa.

"I received a call that someone is taking over Black Hole Marketing Enterprise. Their stock prices dropped to 3% and now close to bankruptcy."Tumaas ang kilay ni Catalina. "Sino nagsabi sayo?""Your secretary."Umirap si Catalina. "Black Hole Marketing Enterprise is und

And her siblings are laughing their ass off at Hugo."Kuya, understand it. It's called hormones," tatawa-tawang sabi ni Grace.Cerxus suppressed his laugh while looking at Hugo. It was obvious that Hugo doesn't like what Catalina was doing but he had to endure it or else he'd be sleeping outside. Lumalim ang pagkunot ng noo ni Hugo habang nakatingin kay Catalina, ilang metro ang layo niya mula sa kaniya. Catalina was all smiles to her siblings but whenever she meets Hugo's eyes, she grimace at him. Naiinis na si Hugo pero nagtitimpi pa rin siya, mahal niya e.Hugo took a deep breath, calming his self.

"How did you manage my sister?" Cerxus whispered.Umirap si Catalina na nakaupo sa sofa. "I could hear you!"Natawa ng mahina si Hugo. "Why did you ask?"Cerxus shrugged his shoulder. "Any tips?"Ngumisi si Hugo at bumulong kay Cerxus.

Chapter 42Pinakiramdaman ni Catalina ang malamig na simoy ng hangin. She was standing in front of her parent's grave. Napilitan siyang umuwi ng Iloilo ng wala sa oras para bisitahin ang puntod nito. Hugo caressed her shoulder and hugged her from behind."Babe..." Hugo whispered."Why would mom hide?" Catalina inhaled a sharp breath. "Why would she hide for the past 20 years? Bakit siya magtatago sa amin?"Masuyong hinalikan ni Hugo ang balikat ni Catalina. "Calm down, babe, maybe your mom has reasons..."Catalina inhaled a sharp breath. They stayed a little longer in front of her parent's grave. Catalina was staring at the white familiar flower on the stone. Agad niyang nakilala ang bulaklak kahit na napakahirap nitong hanapin.Nagpaalam sila ni Hugo sa puntod ng ama ni Catalina bago bumalik sa kotse.

Chapter 43Naalimpungatan si Catalina dahil sa sinag ng araw. She covered her eyes but it wasn't enough, she was still drowsy. Umikot ng higa si Catalina, but to her surprise Hugo was still asleep beside her. She smiled. Hindi niya napansin ang higpit ng hawak ni Hugo sa baywang niya. She buried her face in his neck and kissed him there."Catalina..." Hugo groaned and kissed her forehead. "Five more minutes, babe..."Umiling si Catalina sa leeg niya. "We're hungry..."Agad na napadilat si Hugo at hinanap ang labi ni Catalina. When he found it, he immediately kissed it and smiled."Good morning, babe and my babies..." He caressed her tummy."We said morning, too," Catalina answered with a smile."What do you want for breakfast?""Steak?"Hugo hissed. "Babe, that's not breakfast."Ngumuso si Catalina. "But we want steak!""Wala na bang ibang choices?""Apple and honey...""You don't like apples..." Hugo was speechless."Honey and chocolate?"Napakurap si Hugo at bumangon, tinignan niya

Paano ba naman, binigyan ng ideya ni Catalina ang ina nina Hugo at talagang pumili ng law student."Babe... I'm sorry..." Catalina whispered."No.""Won't you look at me?" Catalina "Catalina.""Babe..." Makaawa ni Catalina para tignan lang siya ni Hugo."Isa.""Daddy?"Natigilan si Hugo at napalingon sa kaniya. "What did you say?"Ngumisi si Catalina sa kaniya. She mouthed him a kiss which Hugo replied with a frown."Are you still mad?" Catalina asked."I'm not mad, babe. I'm annoyed."Ngumuso si Catalina, marahan niyang kinagat ang balikat ni Hugo.

Catalina asked.Marahang tumango si Hugo sa kaniya. "Contact the client and prepare the beta version. I personally don't like the graphics, tell the team to fix it after the meeting... Sure...
