Guilty Pleasure

"Good morning, Ma'am Fiona...""Morning," I responded.Nginitian ko ang mga empleyado sa Villaruz hotel nang makapasok ako sa lobby at sunod-sunod ang pagbati na natatanggap ko.Diretso akong nagtungo sa opisina ni Trevious. Alam kong maaga siyang pumapasok kaya sigurado akong nandito na siya.Napabuntong hininga ako nang makapasok sa loob ng elevator. Sumara ang pinto nito kasabay nang pagpikit ng aking mga mata.I forgot my phone at Liam's penthouse and I didn't bother to get it. After what happened last night I didn't try to talk to him anymore.Hindi rin ako pumasok sa restaurant kung saan chef manager ako kaya wala akong balita kung anong nangyayari.Napamulat ako ng mga mata at saktong bumukas ang pintuan ng elevator kaya diretso na akong humakbang palabas at nagmamadaling tinahak ang daan patungong opisina ni Trevious.I took a deep breath before I knocked twice, and in just seconds when I heard my fiance's baritone voice."Come in," he said calmly.I calm myself first as soon

"Mag-iingat ka. Maghihintay ako sa'yo..." sambit ko."You too, babe. Take care here," he gently whispered.We hugged each other for the last time before he kissed my forehead. We then parted after a few minutes.I couldn't help but tear up. After spending time with him for almost a week, he's now going out of the country for business."I'll be back, okay? And we'll get married as soon as we can," muling paalala niya.Tumango lamang ako at isang mahigpit na yakap pa ang nangyari bago siya tuluyang naglakad palayo at sumakay sa pribadong sasakyang panghimpapawid.Pumatak ang butil ng aking luha habang nakatitig sa kaniya.Being with him for a week makes me feel calm despite my secret. We already met a designer for our wedding and he promised, when he got back we will be going to be husband and wife.Mabilis kong pinalis ang luha sa mga mata nang lumingon pa siya sa akin. Kumaway kami pareho sa bawat isa bago siya tuluyang pumasok sa loob.Hinintay ko munang makalipad ang sasakyan niya b

Tulala ako sa kawalan habang nasa veranda ng aking kuwarto. Hinayaan kong tangayin ng hangin ang mahaba at itim kong buhok. Suminghap ako at hindi mapigilan ang mangilid ang luha sa mga mata. Ilang araw na mula nang mag-usap kami ni Liam tungkol sa nangyari. It was a calm conversation as if we both wanted to get rid of it. We had a small talk about what happened between us, about my resignation, and about him leaving after he felt better. He already ended our connection with each other that I asked him to forget. I took a deep breath, feeling heavy inside. Despite the fact that we are finally okay after our mistakes, my conscience still bothers me. Natatakot ako. Hindi ko alam kung paano sasabihin kay Ken ang lahat. I know anytime soon, kapag kinasal na kami malalaman niya rin ang totoo. He indeed respects me while we are together. He's even scared to touch me because he might not control himself. But... in just one night, I lost it. I lost myself, my purest with his best fri

After more than three hours of flight, I finally arrived at the airport. I smiled widely when I suddenly felt excited to see our rest house. I was just 17 years old when I visited there once with mommy and daddy. At simula noon ay hindi ko na nadalaw dahil mas naging busy ako sa pag-aaral. Hindi ko na rin alam kung anong itsura nito ngayon. Pero ang sabi ni mommy, pinapalinis niya iyon buwan-buwan kay Aling Marites kaya malinis naman daw at puwedeng bakasyunan anumang oras. Nang nakalabas nang airport ay agad akong pumara ng taxi na nakaparada sa gilid at nagpahatid na sa Casa Valencia. I don't know the history of this place, but according to mommy. There are lots of resorts here. At magaganda rin ang mga tanawin kaya naisipan niyang dito kumuha ng rest house. Habang nasa loob ng sasakyan ay palinga-linga ako sa paligid na aming nadaraanan. Hindi ko maitago ang saya nang daanan na namin ang mga luntiang paligid at sumasayaw pa ang mga dahon ng puno dahil sa malakas na ihip ng h
