CHAPTER 9- BITTER REALITY MARIA "MAYANG dalian mo na dyan! Nandiyan na ang fafy mo! Wag mo na syang paghintayin!" Rinig kong sigaw ng bakla sa labas ng kwarto ko kaya mas binilisan ko naman ang pagsuklay ng buhok ko. I look at my self in the mirror and smiled sweetly. What a gorgeous creation. I laugh and tried to act cute infront of my reflection. Ang ganda mo talaga Mayang! "Mayang!" I took a last glance at my reflection before I hurriedly got out. Pagkalabas ko ay sya naman hila nito ng buhok ko. Tinignan ko ito ng masama pero umirap lang ito bago bumaba. Sumunod na din akong bumaba sa kanya at naabutan ko ang boss ko na nakaupo sa luma naming sofa. With his simple t-shirt and a denim pants, he looks like a model. He looks like model without even trying hard. Yung kahit simpleng t-shirt lang ang suot mo ay nagmumukha ka pa ring dyamante. How can he do it? And why

CHAPTER 11- WHAT?? Denrick "So how's your work? Kamusta na ang mga stock holder ng kompanya nyo? Did they still making a way to remove you from your position?" A man asked me. He is not just a man but a friend of mine. Terrence Montero is looking at me intently while waiting for my response. We're here at the bar. We are in a VIP room to be exact. We don't want to be interupted by the noise so we decided to rent a room. We just want to have some quality time together after our stressful days. "Oo nga. By the way, did you find someone who can be your wife and the mother of your child?" Dark mijares asked me while maintaining his stoic face. I am really amazed with this man. He still remain emotionless even with us. He never shows his emotions and only us knows why. It is a secret of our group. And who

CHAPTER 13- IS SHE THE ONE? MARIA Sa durasyon ng byahe papuntang opisina ay katahimikan ang namayani sa amin. We are both drowned with our own thoughts to even talk. Nag usap lang kami nung papasok kami ng opisina kung saan lahat ng mga empleyado ay pinagtitinginan kami. Who would not right? He is holding my hand. Hindi mo talaga maiiwasan na may mga usasero at usasera pag may chismis. Paano ba kasi e ang alam nila ay secretary lang ako nito and nothing else. Yes may mga times nga din na siniship nila ako sa boss ko which I also like to be honest. Pero bakit ko naman sasabihin sa kanila right?So I acted like I am irritated but deep inside I like it. They even gave us a name, DenRia which at first I found so beautiful but now I think it is so corny. Wala na bang iba? I don't know their reaction

CHAPTER 15- FAVOR MARIA Kasalukuyan ako ngayong nasa opisina at nakatulala lang. Hindi nya na kasi ako binigyan ng mga papeles at sinabing kung gusto ko ay manood nalang ako sa youtube. Hindi ko naman yun ginawa bagkus ay binalikan ko ang nangyari kanina.  By the looks on his face a while ago, mukhang kinakabahan ito na ewan. Bakit naman kasi sya kasi kinakabahan diba? Never in my life na nakita kong kinabahan ang isang Denrick Moncuedo. And of course I am very thankful na pag dating namin dito ay wala na ang babaeng iyon.  Naalala ko pa ang pagsigaw sa akin ng bruhang iyon. Akala mo naman sobrang taas na nya para sigawan ako ah. Hindi ba nya alam ang salitang respeto? Sa tingin ko naman may pinag aralan ito. Hindi ba itinuro sa school nila ang Good manners and right conduct?

CHAPTER 17- CONFUSED MARIA "Good evening ladies and gentlemen." Panimula nito habang seryoso lamang ang mukha. Ngumiti naman sa amin ang mga bisita kaya nahihiya na din akong ngumiti. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko at siguro naramdaman nya iyon kaya agad nyang hinawakan ang bewang ko at pasimpleng pinisil iyon.  "I would like to introduce to you my beloved Maria. Still can't believe that after we face so many challenges we are now here and ready to open a new chapter of our life. We surpass all the trials because we are together. And now we are going to paint the new chapter of our life with a very colorful moments together with our little angel." Pagkatapos ng speech nito ay agad na pumalakpak ang mga bisita. Hati-hati ang naging reaksyon nila. Some are shocked that I am pregnant and some are just smiling, looking so happy with the news
