Chapter 67 - Friendship and Family
“Sky, where are you? Akala ko ba sa akin ka muna makikitira? Why aren’t you here? Are you having a hard time commuting? I can come and pick you up you know.” Pambungad kaagad sa kanya ni Charlie nang tawagan niya ito.
Ni hindi pa nga siya nakakapag-hello rito ay sunud-sunod na kaagad ang pagsasalita nito. Her friend’s voice was laced with so much worry. Tuloy ay bigla siyang nakonsensya para rito. Malalim na kasi ang gabi nang maalala niyang tawagan ang kaibigan. She knew her friend was already worried sick dahil ni hindi na siya nakapagtext dito gaya nang nauna nilang usapan kapag nakarating na siya nang Maynila. But well… yun’ nga… she’s nowhere near Manila.
“Charlie… the truth is---”
“Oh no… don’t tell me nasa San Bernardino ka pa rin?!” Bulalas nito.

Nakatulala lang si Sky habang nakatitig sa malawak na ilog. It was already past 11 pm ngunit heto siya at nasa labas pa rin. She couldn’t sleep… ni hindi rin siya nakakain nang maayos kanina. All she could ever think about was her father… Wala sa hinagap niya na magkakaganoon ito. It’s just hard to imagine na ang isang kagaya nito ay dadapuan nang sakit o manghihina. Sky used to think of her father as the same level of an immortal being. Para itong makina na walang tigil sa kakatrabaho. He never got sick… or at least, she never saw him sick… never saw him cry… never saw him get hurt… wala siya ni minsang maalala sa buhay niya na nakita niya itong mahina. To her father, showing emotions made a person weak. Oras na makakitaan ito nang kahinaan, pakiramdam nito ay gagamitin iyon nang mga kakompitensya nito sa negosyo laban dito. That was how he raised her, too.

“Kamusta po kayo ni Tatay Carlos, Nay?” Hindi napigilang mapangiti ni Sky habang kausap ngayon sa cellphone ang matanda. Kahit na hindi pa nito makita iyon ay nagagalak pa rin siyang marinig ang boses nito. “Ayos naman kami rito, iha. Salamat sa mga tulong mo sa amin. Heto at tuloy-tuloy na ang pagpapatherapy ni Tatay Carlos mo.” “Wala ho iyon, Nay. Kagaya nga nang pangako ko bago ako umalis, hindi ko kayo pababayaan. Kahit na malayo ako sa inyo, basta kung may kailangan kayo, ‘wag kayong mahihiyang magsabi sa’kin, ha?” Paalala pa niya rito. “Naku… ‘wag mo kaming masyadong isipin dito. Alam kong abala ka pa rin sa pag-aasikaso nang negosyo ninyo. Ikaw nga diyaan ang inaalala namin, eh. Kumakain ka pa ba sa tamang oras? Baka mamaya niyan ay puro trabaho na lang din ang inaatupag mo.”
The Story of Us (Tagalog) Chapter 70 - Confessions Part 1
Sky glanced back and forth at the photograph and then to the sleeping form of her father. In a state of utter daze, she tried to rack her brains from any memories she had of when and where the picture was taken. But no matter how far she looked back on her mind, she really had no recollection of it or whatsoever. And as Sky was silently trying to gather her thoughts, hindi niya napigilang igala ang paningin sa kabuoan nang kama nang kanyang ama. Noon lang napansin nang dalaga ang isang maliit na wooden box sa tabi nito. It had the initials ‘AI’ engraved on top of it. One prominent thing that was noticeable about the box ay ang kalumaan niyon. Na tila ba ilang siglo na iyong hindi nakakatikim nang barnis o kahit anumang alaga galing sa may-ari. There are also areas on the edges of it that had been chipped. Hindi mawari ni Sky kung nahulog ba iyon mula sa

Napasinghap siya dahil sa mga salitang binitiwan nito. All the anger she felt seemed to have been drained out of her as she heard what her father just said. Pakiramdam pa niya’y nanghihina siya sa rebelasyon nitong iyon.Her father let out another shaky breath. Guilt was written all over his face as he had this faraway look in his eyes.“Kung maibabalik ko lang sana ang mga oras… If only I was there that night… if only I did not leave the party early… siguro ay hindi nangyari lahat nang ‘to. Siguro ay buhay pa sana siya ngayon… She and that man would’ve been able to spend their lives together… Ang dami kong sana, Sky… and even after more than 30 years… I still carry that guilt and regret in my heart…”Heneroso Bus

“Is this for real?!”Halos magkakasabay na bulalas nang mga kaibigan ni Sky. She had also just finished telling them the story about what happened several days ago between her and her father. Well, all except the New York University part… since hindi pa naman niya iyon lubusang napapag-isipan.Ava, Chiena, and Jax were now staring intently at the picture she placed in front of them. And from the looks of it, the longer they tried to gaze at the photograph, mas lalo lang din nanlalaki ang mata nang mga ito. Well, liban na lang marahil kay Julienne na noon ay kalmado lang na sumisimsim nang inorder nitong cold lemonade.They were all currently sitted inside The Delirium, ang bar na pag-aari ni Chase, who was Charlie’s first and only love. And speaking of Charlie, mukhang MIA yata ito nga

“If none of you are going to help me, then I might as well do it myself.” Nakasimangot na turan sa kanila nang kaibigan. Kinuha nito ang sariling cellphone at hinanap mula sa list of contacts ang numero ni Charlie. She then pressed the call button at ilang sandali pa ay nag-ring na ang kabilang linya. Natahimik naman sila habang pinapakinggan kung sasagutin ba nito ang tawag. Ngunit makalipas ang pang-anim na ring ay hindi pa rin sinasagot nang dalaga ang cellphone nito. It just rang… and rang some more. Chiena sighed dejectedly as she stared up at each of them. Akmang pipindutin na lang sana nito ang end call button nang sa wakas ay tila nahahapong sagutin na iyon ni Charlie. “I told you a million times, I won’t be going.” Pambungad kaagad nito. Out of nowhere

“Ayos na ako rito, anak. You should go ahead and take a time off. Baka ikaw naman ang magkasakit niyan sa sobrang pagtatrabaho.” Napatigil si Sky sa gagawin sanang pagsubo nang pagkain. She and her father were having lunch that time. Araw nang Sabado noon kaya kapwa sila nasa bahay lang nang kanyang daddy. It had already been more than a month simula nang magka-heart to heart talk silang mag-ama. That night really affected greatly their relationship. Paunti-unti ay nabago niyon ang kanilang pagsasama and opened a doorway for them to grow their bond. Simula nang gabing mangyari iyon ay naging mas madalas na ang naging pag-uusap nila at naging malaya na siyang bisitahin ito araw-araw sa kwarto nito. They talked about a lot of things… and even visited the grave of her mom together. Sa kauna-unahang pagka
The Story of Us (Tagalog) Chapter 75 - CCTV
Hindi makapaniwala si Sky sa nakikita. Mulagat siyang nakatitig lang sa screen nang tablet. Kung pwede lang na hindi siya kumurap ay ginawa na niya. She refused to let her eyes trail away from the screen even for a minute at baka bigla na lang maglaho sa paningin niya ang binata. Maging si Jax ay ganoon din ang reaksyon. Though initially, because of his shock ay kagyat na nagpalipat-lipat ang titig nito kay Ethan at sa tablet. But their wounded friend motioned for him to go on and watch, so he did. He went still as his eyes, too, never left the display again. Miguel was there, seating in what seemed like a wheelchair. Maayos na ang bihis nito. Taliwas sa inaasahan ni Sky, hindi na ito nakahospital gown na siyang dating suot nito noong araw na sapilitan itong tangayin sa pagamutan. Her husband was now wearing an all black turtleneck knitted sweater paired with
