“BOSS is currently in a meeting, Attorney.” Sabi ni Mark kay Rafael nang makita niya ito sa President’s office.Tumango si Rafael. “Kailan matatapos ang meeting ni Kuya Cassiuz?” tanong niya.Tinignan ni Mark ang suot na relo. “Maybe after thirty-minutes, Attorney.”“Okay. I can wait.” Umupo si Rafael sa sofa saka binuksan ang laptop na dala. Lately, he’s not receiving any case. Naka-focus ang attention niya sa pinapagawa sa kaniya ng Kuya Cassiuz niya. Hindi niya pwedeng ipagsawalang-bahala ang tungkol sa pinapagawa ng Kuya Cassiuz niya. Malaki ang utang na loob niya rito kaya hindi niya ito pwedeng talikuran.Makalipas ang isang oras saka lang natapos ang meeting ni Cassiuz.“Boss, nasa opisina niyo si Attorney.” Imporma ni Mark nang makalabas ng meeting hall si Cassiuz.Kumunot ang nuo ni Cassiuz. “Sinong attorney?”“Si Attorney Rafael, Boss.”Mabilis na bumalik si Cassiuz sa opisina at naabutan niya si Rafael na nakaharap sa laptop nito. Hindi talaga alam minsan ni Cassiuz kung ma

“KUYA CASSIUZ, I have done what you have asked me to do,” Rafael said as soon as he entered Cassiuz’ room. “I’m sorry that it was delayed because I had important case in the court to attend. Though I wonder, Mark said that you’ve been sleeping in your fiancée’s condo but why are you sleeping in your room, right now? Got kicked out?” Rafael teased and laughed.“You’re so noisy, Raf.” Cassiuz groaned.“Come on, Kuya. Get up. Makikikain ako.”Cassiuz sighed. “Raf, pwede bang sabihin mo na lang ngayon? I still don’t want to get up.”Rafael sighed. “Kuya, this is about Eagle. Now I’m not telling you unless you get up. I found something interesting about that Messenger. If you’re interested then get up now but if not, then I’ll still eat before I left.”Cassiuz yawned. Napailing na lang siya kay Rafael. Kung hindi niya lang ito tinuturing na kapatid baka inutusan na niya si Mark na sipain ito palabas ng bahay niya. “Give me fifteen minutes and I’ll be out.”Nagkibit ng balikat si Rafael. “O

“THIS is the Master’s bedroom.” Cassiuz opened the door and smiled at Wynter. “Come on in. You’re suit case was already inside.”Pumasok naman si Wynter sa loob ng silid. She looked around the room and her eyes stopped on the dresser. Nilapitan niya ito at nakita ang mga pamilyar na brand ng mga products na ginagamit niya. Kinuha niya ang naroon na pabango. “Really?” she showed it to Cassiuz. “You’re using this?” Natatawang tanong ni Wynter. Nakita niya rin ang mga ilang feminine objects such as make up kit, lipstick and many other things. Nasa dresser ang mga ito.Umiling si Cassiuz saka lumapit kay Wynter. Niyakap niya ito mula sa likuran. “It’s all for you. I bought it last week.”The bedroom was really a man’s room. The full-length curtains color is all brown that covers the French windows, there’s a king size bed, two couch at the corner, a bedroom bench at the edge of the bed, a brown like stripe rug at the center of the room. There’s also painting hanging on the wall. Two chand

WEDDING DAY…HUMUGOT ng malalim na hininga si Cassiuz habang patingin-tingin siya sa pinto ng simbahan. His bride was already five minutes late. And yes, he’s nervous. Napatingin lang siya kay Maverick nang marinig niya ang pagtawa nito.“Man, you’re sweating bullets.” Natatawang sabi ni Maverick at nag-offer ng panyo kay Cassiuz.Kinuha ni Cassiuz ang panyo saka pinunasan ang pawis na namumuo sa nuo niya. He took a deep breath. Kinuha niya ang cellphone mula sa bulsa ng suot niyang puting suit saka tinignan kung may mensahe si Wynter pero wala.Natawa si Maverick saka napailing. Tinapik niya ang balikat ni Cassiuz. “Relax.”Cassiuz looked at Maverick. “Hindi ako makapag-relax. My bride is not here yet. She’s already…” he looked at his wrist watch, “eight minutes late.”“It’s okay. Dadating siya, man. Hindi ka niya iiwan sa ere.”“Are you comforting me or teasing me?” Cassiuz glared at Maverick.Nagkibit ng balikat si Maverick. Hindi niya pinansin ang sama ng tingin sa kaniya ng kaibi

INSTEAD of working for the whole day in the Sweet Unique Café, Wynter went to her house in the afternoon, to talk with her father. She doesn’t like what’s happening. Her father is keeping the truth from Cassiuz. Cassiuz is now her husband. She could feel his pain whenever he mentions about his parents and it’s not good. She knew that her husband was seeking the justice for his parents. Masakit rin sa kaniya kapag nakikita niyang nahihirapan at nasasaktan ang asawa niya.Nasa labas pa lang siya ng gate, nakita niya ang magulang na nasa terasa ng kanilang bahay. Kinuha niya ang cake na dala saka bubuksan niya sana ang pinto ng backseat nang maunahan siya ni Dan na hindi niya napansin na naunang bumaba ng kotse.“Thank you, Dan. But I already told you not to open the door for me. I can do it myself.”Yumukod lang si Dan pero alam ni Wynter, hindi rin lang ito makikinig.“Madam, ako na.” Kinuha ni Nate ang hawak ni Wynter na cake at ito na bumuhat.“Thank you.” It’s useless to talk with t
