Chapter 13For the nth time, I rolled my eyes. I don't know if it's my karma or what. I can't believe na kasama ko na naman ang lalaking ito. Gosh! Do I really have to join him delivering the flowers? Hindi niya ba kaya mag-isa i-deliver ang mga yun? “Let's go, ma'am.”Muling umikot ang mga mata ko ng pumasok siya ng sasakyan. Nagsuot siya ng seatbelt bago inistart ang ito.“Inayos mo ba ng mabuti ang paglalagay ng mga bulaklak sa likod baka masira? Sayang lang ang pagpunta natin kung masisira ang mga dapat na ideliver.”"Yes, ma'am. Maayos na maayos. Do you want to check it?”“Do I need to?” pasiring na sagot ko. “You said you put it in properly so why do I need to check it pa?”“To make sure, ma'am,” sabi niya. “Why are you so mad this early, ma'am? Ganito ka ba palagi?”“Shut up and drive. Baka malate pa tayo sa sobrang dami mong tanong.”“Okay, Ma'am Sungit.”Masama na tinignan ko siya ngunit nagkibit balikat lang siya at saka pinaandar ang sasakyan. Inis na umayos ako ng upo at
CHAPTER 01“Miss HM, what can you say about your success?”“Miss HM, are the rumors true that you’re married for 3 years?”“Miss HM, is it true?”“Miss Hm!”“Miss Hm, sandali lang po!”“Miss HM!”Pagkasara ng pinto ng van, wala na ang samu’t saring bibig sa pandinig ko. Huminga ako nang maluwag at hinubad ang suot na eyeglass. Even though sanay na ako sa ingay ng media, hindi ko maiwasan na mainis sa mga ganyang klase ng tanong. Bakit ba may mga taong kailangan alam ang buong buhay mo? Can they shut their mouth and just idolize me without getting into my life? May maganda bang mangyayari sa kanila if they learn and step into my life? Argh! Whatever! “Miss HM, wala na po kayong ibang sched ngayon. Gusto niyo na po bang dumiretso sa condo unit?” Tumungo ako kay Lia, my personal assistant. “Yes, Lia. Thanks.”Narinig kong sinabi niya kay Manong Ador ang gusto ko. I relax myself and look outside the car. Kita ko kung paano paalisin ng mga guard nitong Jinx studio ang mga media. They e
CHAPTER 02 “Ate, sobrang excited nyo po ‘no?” Nilingon ko si Lia na nasa tabi ko. We’re inside the van right now heading to Casa Restaurant to meet Janice Ynes. “Huh?” “Sabi ko po, mukhang ang saya nyo. Pangarap nyo po talaga ang makatrabaho ang mga Ynes, ate?” I shook my head. “I’m not, Lia.” “Sus, ate! ‘Wag ka na po mahiya. Kitang-kita na nga sa mukha mo, eh!” asar niya. “Aminin nyo na po kasi.” I shook my head again but this time with a smile on my face. She really knows me. “Pero, ate, may question ako.” “Go ahead.” “Bakit po gusto niyo silang makatrabaho?” inosente na tanong niya. “Is there something you want from them ba? May kasalanan ba sila sa iyo? O baka kilala nyo sila?” Tinitigan ko siya sandali. Inobserbahan ko ang inosente na mukha niya. I know I can trust her but… this time I'll keep it to myself. Isa ito sa plano ko. No one will know my move. Not even my closest people. Even her and Mang Ador. I don't want to cause trouble with them. I don’t want to brag
Chapter 03 It's been three days. Sa tatlong araw simula nang nakipag meeting ako kila Janice at sa asawa niya, araw-araw na akong nakakatanggap ng message from her husband. I knew it. He wants to play fire. He really badly wants it because he likes to message me every minute. This will be a big blow up for their wedding day. Abala ako sa pag-aayos ng mukha nang bumukas ang pinto ng dressing room. Nakita ko sa salamin na pumasok si Lia at lumapit sa akin. “Ate, may nagpaabot. May letter daw po sa loob kung kanino galing. Hindi sinabi ng delivery man kung kanino galing, eh. Should I throw this one?” Humarap ako sa kanya at tinitigan ang hawak na regalo ni Lia. Balot na balot ito kaya hindi ko makita kung anong klaseng regalo. But I know who gave this one. It should be him. I smiled. “Can I see it?” Nakita ko ang letter sa ibabaw. And the moment I open it, I can't stop myself from smiling. Not because I like the gift, but because my plan is about to happen. I remove the letter
Chapter 04“Did I see it right? Or am I just hallucinating?”I've been staring at Xian's picture in his social media account and comparing it to the man I saw last time we went to Ynes' mansion. I still can't believe it. I mean, the man I saw last time is far different from the man I'm seeing right now.May kakambal ba talaga si Xian?Sa tagal kong nakasubaybay sa pamilya nila wala akong nabalitan o narinig na may anak na kambal ang mag-asawang Ynes. So how come there's someone who look exactly like Xian? And his name is Jian?If Jian is really Xian's twin, why are they hiding him? Bakit ni minsan ay hindi siya nakita sa mga family dinner or occasion nila? Are they really hiding him? And why Janice is telling him those words as if he's locked in their mansion for a long time already?What's the purpose of hiding that man?Bumalik ako sa reyalidad nang tumunog ang notification ng phone ko. A message from Leo again and again popped up.“He's persistent,” I whisper and ignore his message
Chapter 05 “I'm really sorry for making you wait, Miss HM. Just something urgent came.” I can clearly see how tired she is. Kakarating nya lang galing kung saan man siya galing. She’s wearing a casual white dress. I waited for half an hour until she came. I gave her an assuring smile. “No problem, Janice.” She sat down on a single coach to my left and let herself rest. Looking at her, where she came from is far away from here. She looked tired and exhausted like any minute she’ll pass out. I can tell she’s a hard working person. She deserves more than that guy who’s bugging me up until today. “So, where are we now?” &nbs
Chapter 06“I-I’m HM.”His cold stare gives me chills and makes my knees weak. His messy hair and perforated shirt makes me even more nervous and I don't know why. There’s something in him that really makes my whole system become weak. I tried to not look weak while our eyes were still looking at each other. I could see how he scanned me from head to toe. He smirks. I raised my right brow. What’s funny?“I'm hungry, Ja. Can you cook something for me?” My eyes widened after what he did. After he scanned me, smirking at me, he passed by me as if I'm not here. The hell? May problema ba siya sa akin?Umupo siya sa tabi ng inuupuan ko kanina while brushing his hair.“Kuya, get up and go back to your room!” Pilit na pinatayo ni Janice ang kapatid. “You're not allowed in here, remember?!”“Bakit naman hindi?” walang pake na saad ng lalaki. “Nagugutom lang naman ako, Ja. I'm not here to interfere or whatsoever.” Tinignan niya ako at agad din na binawi ang tingin.Really? What's wrong with h
Chapter 07I got busy for the next three days. A lot of work and schedule came and I don't have any time to chill. Since christmas season is coming, maraming nagpapa reserve ng bulaklak for their own events. A lot of them are so picky that's why we need more time to associate and organize their dream event. “Gusto ni Mrs. Reyes na palitan ang mga flowers for her event, ate,” problemadong saad ni Lia. Alam kong pati siya ay pagod na sa dami naming inaasikaso. “She will visit our shop tomorrow daw.”Tumango ako. “Ikaw na ang bahala mag-asikaso sa kaniya.”“Opo, ate,” sagot niya. “Ate, huwag mo pong kalimutan ang meeting niyo ni Mrs. Garcia mamayang 3PM sa Finely Restaurant.”Tumango lang ulit ako. Abala ako sa pag-mo-monitor at pag-che-check ng mga listahan ng mga ipadedeliver mamayang lunch.May mga sinabi pa si Lia na hindi ko na masyadong maintindihan dahil sa nakapokus ako sa ginagawa. She said all that she needed to say before going back to her desk and doing her work. Mabilis na
