Tanong nito at tinignan ang bowl ng chips sa kamay ni Catalina. "Naku! Masama 'yan sa buntis!" Sabi ni manang Cecil at inagaw ang bowl mula kay Catalina.Nginusuan ni Catalina si manang.

Chapter 53 Naalimpungatan si Catalina sa marahang paghahaplos ni Hugo sa maiksi niyang buhok. She opened her eyes and saw her man gently stroking her hair while his brows furrowed in his phone. "Hugo..." Tawag ni Catalina. Nawala ang malalim na pagkunot ng noo ni Hugo at napalingon kay Catalina. He smiled sweetly at her and bent down to kiss her forehead. "Hi, babe, good morning... Hi babies..." He reached down to her belly. "Gutom na ako..." Nguso ni Catalina. Malalim na bumuntong hininga si Hugo. "I'm glad I prepared food before hand. Ang dami niyong pagkain dito sa mansion, wala namang nakatira," reklamo ni Hugo. Ngumisi si Catalina. "Sina manang kumakain dito kapag walang tao. Sinabihan ko na ubusin nila lahat kapag hindi kami umuuwi." Napatango si Hugo. "C'mon, get up..." Hugo helped Catalina to sit on the bed. Sobra pa siya makaalalay akala mo imbalido ang kasintahan. Catalina scoffed at Hugo but then her face quickly

Chapter 54Malakas na humagulgol ng iyak si Catalina habang nakatingin sa sugat ni Hugo. Hugo chuckled at her as she continued to cry so loud. Pinagtitinginan na sila ng nurse sa ward at hindi pa rin paawat ng iyak si Catalina."Babe, stop overreacting," Hugo chuckled at her."You nearly died!" She cried. "Tignan mo!" Tinuro niya ang sugat ni Hugo.Hugo took her hand and entwined their fingers. "Nadaplisan lang ako..."Catalina sobbed. "Masakit ba?" She asked innocently.Tumikhim si Hugo at umayos ng upo sa hospital bed at tumingin sa malayo. "Hindi."Marahang tinusok ni Catalina ang sugat ni Hugo na agad na nagpaaray sa kaniya sa sakit. Muling umiyak si Catalina dahil sa sugat ni Hugo."Babe..." Hugo called."Sabi kong 'wag magpapadaplis!" Singhal ni Catalina sa kaniya.Hugo just chuckled at her again. After the gun fight earlier and two vans exploding. Dumating rin ang mga tauhan nila. A little st

Chapter 55 Nakabusangot si Catalina habang nakatingin kay Hugo na nasa loob ng screen. She kept replaying the news where Hugo stated that Catalina and him have separated. Umirap si Catalina sa hangin at sinubo ang strawberry na isinawsaw nya sa peanut butter. Tumunog ang cellphone niya kaya kinuha niya 'yon at tinignan ang message galing kay Hugo. From: Hugo I miss you Catalina scoffed at him. "This a*shole." To: Hugo Akala ko ba separated na tayo? Napaawang ang labi ni Hugo sa nabasang reply ni Catalina. Mabilis siyang nagtipa ng reply. From: Hugo Babe, you suggested that! Umirap si Catalina. She took another strawberry from her bowl and dipped it in peanut butter. It's been two days and Josh hasn't made a move. Nakatira ngayon si Catalina sa bagong condo niya, she made sure that there was no bomb inside again. The thought of Josh annoyed her even more, she replied to Hugo. To: Hugo Sabi ko kay Josh lang bakit sa buong mundo?! Mariing napapikit si Hugo. He could consciou
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 56
Chapter 56 Catalina woke up in a strange room. The walls were painted white, her feet were tied to the bed by thick long chains. Malambot ang kama at parang hindi kidnapping ang nangyari sa kaniya, kumpleto ang kwarto, may banyo at may mga damit. Catalina was confused for a second but she knows where she is. Mabilis na napailingon si Catalina sa pintuan ng kwarto nang may pumasok doon. A man and a lady that she clearly recognizes. Pasimple siyang kinindatan ni Gianna bago nito nilagay ang tray sa lamesa sa kwarto ni Catalina at lumabas kasama ng lalaki. Catalina knew that Gianna can't simply come in without Josh's men. Nanliit ang mga mata ni Catalina sa nakasaradong pintuan. She quietly stood up and took the food on her table before checking if there was poison in it. Nang masiguro ni Catalina na walang lason ang pagkain ay agad siyang naupo sa lamesa at nagsimulang kumain. There was a window near the small dining table but it was built-in and Catalina was sure she'd make a noise.

Chapter 57Mabilis na gumalaw si Catalina para magpumiglas sa dalawang lalaki. They continued holding her wrist and attacked her with punches. Catalina flipped her body through the air as they let go of her wrists. Mabilis na sinipa ni Catalina ang leeg ng isang lalaki at tinuhod naman sa tiyan ang isa. Tumakbo si Catalina palabas ng kwarto pero agad rin siyang hinarang ulit.Binuhat nila si Catalina na parang sako ng bigas. Catalina used her elbow to hit the mans neck that made him drop on the floor, unconscious. Mabilis na tinapunan ng isa pang lalaki ng suntok si Catalina na agad tumama sa mukha niya. Catalina fell to the floor as she tasted the blood on her lips. Marahas niyang nilingon ang lalaki na ngayon ay nakalapit na sa kaniya at hinila na ang buhok niya. Mabilis na napatayo si Catalina nang hilahin siya ng lalaki."Hugo!" Catalina cried."Tumahimik ka!" Sinampal niya si Catalina.Akmang susuntukin naman siya ng isang lalaki sa tiyan nang mabilis na dumating si Gianna at bin

Chapter 58Maingat na iminulat ni Catalina ang mga mata. She saw Hugo beside her, sleeping soundly. Napangiti si Catalina nang abutin niya ang buhok ni Hugo at tinaggal 'yon sa pagkakatakip sa mukha niya."My man is handsome..." She whispered."Babe..." Hugo groaned and opened his eyes.Napangiti si Catalina nang isiksik ni Hugo ang mukha sa leeg niya."Bakit ka nandito?" Catalina asked."I couldn't sleep last night because I know you're here... So I slept here."Catalina massaged Hugo's nape. "Okay, sleep here..."Tumango lang si Hugo saka niyakap pa ng mahigpit si Catalina. She's still in dextrose and Hugo's acting like a baby. Ngumiti lang si Catalina saka muling pumikit."Babe?" Hugo called."Hmm?""I just want to tell you... Josh is in jail."Napadilat si Catalina. "Was he tortured?""Adamson took care of it."Napatango si Catalina. "Can we watch it?" She innocently asked."It's too brutal," Hugo said as he looked up at her.Ngumuso si Catalina. "Can you tell me then?"Tumango si

Chapter 59Saglit na lumabas si Hugo sa HOV para salubungin ang mga taong naghahanap raw sa kanila ni Catalina. Hugo frowned when he saw a familiar lawyer beside Katrina, who were both standing by the entrance."Anong kailangan mo?" Hugo asked him.Naglabas ng papel ang lalaki at inabot 'yon kay Hugo. "Mr. Ruiz, I'm attorney Fidel Meier. This is your father's last will."Kumunot ang noo ni Hugo. "Last will? Buhay pa si daddy, he's resting—""Sorry to break this to you, Mr. Ruiz, pero binawian ho ng buhay ang ama niyo kagabi."Hugo blinked twice before he shook his head. "This is not a good joke, my father is healthy!"Huminga ng malalim si Fidel. "Someone told your father about your wife's condition and it caused him a heart attack. Mr. Ruiz, sa papel na 'yan nakasulat lahat ng ipapamana niya sa inyong magkapatid at sa ina mo. Your mother is grieving pero sabi niya 'wag ka nang abalahin. But your father asked me to bring this to you the moment I find
