April 22, 2013, Monday

"Hey, do you think she will go downstairs and  go to school?"

Cassy was so busy with her phone. Ugh. 

"Cassy come on. Stop using your phone. You know that I already told you that kids your age should not always be on their phones. Just read something or clean the house."

I smiled at her playfully.

She looked at me, and rolled her eyes and smiled. 

"I'm sorry. I was watching something."

She put it on the table and just grabbed her book to read.

"You know about this book Char? It's about a boy and a monster tree? I'm not sure. I couldn't remember what my classmate told me. But she said it was really good. She let me borrow it."

She held it up for me to see.

"Oh yeah I know that! I just read that. It was a great read."

I was preparing Cassy's lunchbox when I hear footsteps upstairs.

"Do you think she will come down?" I whispered to Cassy.

"Maybe"

"Hey come on, lower your voice. I don't want her to hear that we are talking about her." 

I rolled my eyes at her.
"Um, hey Chloe, what do you want for breakfast?"
I yelled, hoping she will hear me.
No answer.

"No need Char. I will just eat at school. We have practice for the play and I will eat after that"

She said, as she was almost running down the stairs.

She went straight to me at the kitchen.

"Oh okay. I thought because of what happened you will quit the play. Because he is your partner there, right?"

"It's okay. I need to separate my personal issues with school anyway, and I'm a straight A graduating student. I need to do this. I just hate that I slept myself to sleep crying last night. Felt like someone punched me on the eyes."
She was trying to smile. 
"Well, tell them I accidentally hit you last night."
I punched her arms jokingly.
"Or tell them your little sister was so careless with her soccer ball and she threw  it at your face." 
Cassy looked at us.
"Accidentally." I smiled then looked at Chloe then at Cassy.

"I'm good at soccer and I'm not stupid. That is not believable." She smiled proudly.

I faced Chloe,

"Just use your sunglasses. It will be okay, you're right."
"Mine was broken, Char. That's why I want to ask you if I can borrow yours."

I put the lunchbox in Cassy's bag.

"Sure. It's on my bedside table. Cassy, please get it."

"Fine." Cassy rolled her eyes. 

"Don't roll your eyes at me, young lady." with a fake British accent.

I laughed and Chloe laughed with me.

"Oh, you too. Stop watching those TV Shows." and she runs upstairs.
"Well stop rolling your eyes, then," I yelled at her.

"Love you!" Chloe yelled at her 


"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked her and hold her hand.

"You know the answer to that, Char. But what can I do? I don't want to just mope around and throw away everything because we broke up. I know better than that, right? and you and mom taught me better than that." she smiled. and I appreciate that.

I hugged her.

"Yes. I know you are a strong person. Maybe Matt is not a bad guy. But, right now, he is not himself. And you gave him chances for the past months and he was still like that. It's for the best. He needs to fix himself first. You deserve better."

I let go of her and she smiled and tears fell down from her cheek.

"I love him so much, Char. Before we were together, we were already together as friends. I lost my best friend and my boyfriend. I felt bad leaving him on his weakest point. But, I'm tired of his actions." 

"No no, Chloe. Don't cry. Please."

I hugged her again.

Chloe's trying her best to stay positive in her life. This is a story about her journey with her family, boyfriend, former best friend, bestfriend, and friends. Will she follow her heart or her head? Will she make the right decision? This is about faith, choices, friendship, and love.

Outside the luxurious house, a car had been waiting there for a long time. But the person who went in the house had not come out yet.
A tall man walked down from the stairs. He was holding a briefcase in one hand and an open folder in another.
"Hi, Brother Qiao." Suddenly a shadow jumped out from the flowering shrubs and dashed towards him, blocking him.
Seeing the girl in front of him, Qiao Yu frowned. He closed the folder and walked around her.
Xia Ning followed him immediately. "Brother Qiao, where are you going today? The library?"
"Oh, you are holding a briefcase. Are you working part-time?"
"Where do you work? I can go with you."
Qiao Yu ran up and opened the car door directly. She grinned at Qiao Yu. "Brother Qiao, let me get you there. I'm a good driver."
Qiao Yu did not even look at her and got into the car from behind, leaving Xia Ning standing in exhaust gas.
Outside the stock exchange, Qiao Yu walked out with a group of people. He said something to the British person in the front. In the end, they shook their hands and walked towards different directions with their own group.
Suddenly, a shadow rushed in front of Qiao Yu and handed him a bottle of water. "Brother Qiao, drink some water. I heard you just now. Your English is so fluent."
"Brother, if she calls you Big Brother Qiao[1], you will become the head of the beggars. Haha," a man behind Qiao Yu joked. "Little sis, you did a good job following us here."
Qiao Yu did not take Xia Ning's water. He walked forward around her.
"Little sis, work harder." Gao Yang blinked at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning saw herself getting ignored again and was not upset at all. Instead, she turned her head around and yelled at the tall figure, "Qiao Yu, I will find you again tomorrow."
Seeing the lunch box in Xia Ning's hand, Zheng Ziming felt a bit jealous. "Asteria, I know you are chasing after a guy. But how come you have become the nanny? Even if you make food for him, he might not want your favor. We've known each other for so many years but when did you ever bring me a lunchbox?"
Xia Ning rolled her eyes at him. "You have so many girlfriends and still need me to bring you a lunchbox? Don't make my life harder. If we delay any longer, he might leave." As she spoke, she got into the driver's seat and drove the car away.
When she got there, Qiao Yu was walking out of the house. She got off the car immediately and gave him her lunchbox of love.
"Qiao Yu, I made this lunch for you."
Qiao Yu did not even look at her and walked forward.
"You are so busy working. Take it with you." Xia Ning followed him.
Qiao Yu suddenly stopped. Xia Ning felt so happy and handed him the lunchbox.
Qiao Yu took a look and grabbed the lunchbox only to throw it in the garbage bin next to him. He moved on.
"…" Xia Ning looked at the garbage bin and then looked to the direction where the sports car left. Finally, she walked to the garbage bin and picked up the lunchbox. She sighed. "Does it look that bad?" She cleaned her hands and opened the box. As she had her first bite, she spit it out immediately. She suddenly felt lucky that Qiao Yu threw this away.
In the ally. "Let me go. Let me go!" Two strong men were harassing Xia Ning. They threw her bag on the ground and started to take off her clothes. The well-made dress split into halves. She struggled like crazy and tears were coming out of her eyes.
All of a sudden two shadows showed up. Each taking down one, they drove away the two strong guys.
Xia Ning fell and sat on the ground, tears all over her face. But her eyes were on the tall and handsome man.
Qiao Yu took off his suit and threw it onto Xia Ning. Xia Ning immediately put the suit on and covered her exposed body. She did not even say thank you before an icy voice put out all her passion.
"You think you can get an extra look from me by doing this? This is the last time." His cold eyes were as if they could see through her, directly to her heart.
Suddenly, her heart hurt like it was torn.
In the dark hotel room, Xia Ning opened her eyes suddenly. She moved her body and realized she fell asleep on the couch. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was only six o'clock.
[1] A figure in a classic Chinese wuxia novel who was the head of the beggars


Three years ago, President Qiao did not hesitate to sign the papers when Xia Ning placed the divorce papers in front of him.

Three years later, she is an up-and-coming star in show biz; watched by the public but knee-deep in scandals.

He is a resolute emperor in the business world; powerful and omnipotent.

Their paths were supposed to be separate and independent, but—

Standing at her door, the legendary ruthless and unyielding diamond bachelor asks for a remarriage. A cute bun appears from behind and gazes at Xia Ning with his big, starry eyes. "Mummy, Daddy will cook, I will warm the bed, please take us in."

"Okay just breathe. Why are you even nervous? It's not the first time that you're bringing him lunch.", Hannah talked to herself while she was inside the elevator. She wore a pastel-colored blouse and white pants, with a lunch box on her hand, she looked like a wife delivering lunch to her husband.

*Ding*, the elevator door opened.

But no one got out of it.

Hannah was stuck in the middle of the elevator, too afraid to see Seo Joon face to face again. It was pretty uneventful after last night's dinner as they went on separate ways, both of them too prideful after that kiss.

But this morning, Hannah gathered her courage and went on to shop for fresh ingredients so that she could cook something for Seo Joon.

She was pretty excited from when she prepared the food until she reached Kimsun electronics. But the moment that she got inside the elevator, her heart started to pound. All her boldness have vanished and she chickened out. 

The elevator doors started to close but a man's strong hand stopped it from happening. Hannah lifted her head up and saw Seo Joon, "Joon."

"Hannah? What… are you doing here?", he asked, confused that she didn't get off the elevator when it stopped.

"Umm…", she could only utter the syllable before she raised her hand to give him the lunchbox. "Lunch.", she spoke.

Seo Joon had always known how Hannah is such a talkative one ever since they were kids and seeing her all flustered like this made his heart flutter. 

His gaze shifted to her extended arm and saw the lunchbox that she was holding out. The corners of his mouth lifted up a little before he grabbed Hannah's hand and dragged her into his office.

She clumsily followed him and when they reached inside, Seo Joon closed the door behind them and pushed Hannah against it.

Hovering over her, Seo Joon's physique made Hannah gulp as she smelled his musky scent. He was oozing with sex appeal at that moment even without saying anything. 

Slapping a hand next to Hannah's head, Seo Joon made the perfect kabedon pose. Looking down at the woman below him, "Are you back to making my lunches everyday?", he spoke in a low voice.

Hannah struggled to look at him in the eye, "I… I…", she stuttered.

"Yes, you… Hannah, are you… going to make lunch for me everyday?"

She pursed her lips, the beating of her heart made it difficult to answer the man who's flirting with her. 

Seo Joon leaned in and his lips stopped just a few inches from hers. He stared into her eyes and she closed hers. 

She waited for it to happen but Seo Joon backed away and took the lunchbox from her hand before he sat down on the sofa, "Come. Let's eat. I'm starving."

Hannah's heart sank, disappointed for that almost kiss. She was so sure that he did that on purpose.

...

Later that afternoon, Samantha and Becca have just finished the Mashbox event.

Mashbox is a cosmetic company and they have invited Becca to guest at the launch of their new product line. Becca wanted to help Samantha gain more supporters and exposure so whenever she gets invited to an event, she would always ask if she can have a plus one.

"Ms. Kim, please accept this gift box. We hope that you like them.", said the staff from Mashbox as she handed a heavy looking gift box that contained a lot of their products.

"Thank you, Rina. I'm sure I will like them.", she accepted the gifts and gave a friendly smile. Samantha had gotten used to receiving gifts after the events that she and Becca went to. Perks of being an influencer.

For the past few weeks, Samantha had gained more than a hundred thousand followers and it was mostly women who were attracted to those who they can relate or look up to; someone who was brave enough to try things out and her skydiving video attracted a lot of those. It was pretty fast for her but because of Becca's support and Samantha's own ability to attract people and her vlogging skills, it was pretty understandable.

Samantha's still new to the whole thing but she had been trying to up her skills. Though she had only been able to upload her travel vlogs from Country D as well as some first impressions of a few of the products that were given to her, the numbers of supporters were growing.

"Sam, are you heading home?", Becca asked as they approached the parking lot.

"I need to stop by at Trident first.", Samantha caught a glimpse of Becca's trunk. "Oh that's a huge bag, are you traveling somewhere?"

Becca looked at her suitcase and chuckled, "Yeah, I just bought it as I will be going to the countryside. I have been wanting to go there since I came back to the country but I have also been putting it off. So I'll be leaving in 2 days."

"Wow how long are you going to be gone?"

"Probably a week, I'm not sure... I'll vlog and enjoy the scenery at the same time." Becca answered.

"Is there anything good there?"

"I heard there's a cold spring and… oh, there's a zip line! Have you tried that before?"

Samantha shook her head, "No… I've only seen it on the internet. That sounds nice! I kinda miss going on adventures, to be honest."


Becca beamed, "Well if you're up for it we can go together? But I don't know if Mr. Cho will allow you to travel for a week."

"You know what? I would love that! I'll let him know later.", Samantha stated.

…

Becca just arrived inside her apartment when her phone rang. Placing all her things on the buffet table, she reached for her phone inside her bag.

When she saw the ID on her screen, she hesitated before answering the phone call.

"Hello, love.", the mysterious man spoke. 

Becca just stood there and didn't speak. Her breathing started to hasten with just the sound of his voice.

"Did you receive my letter? I will see you soon, are you excited?"

"Go to hell, Gael.", Becca gritted her teeth.

Gael chuckled, "I miss you too, love."

"Stop doing this. I don't want to see you.", she spoke before she hung up the call.

***Next update: Tomorrow at 6:00pm

Dala ang lunchbox ay tinungo ko ang kusina. Natagpuan ko roon si Kuya Dan na kinukuha ang orange juice sa refrigerator. Bumaba agad ang tingin niya sa hawak ko.

"Pati ba naman lunchbox mo hugis oso?" nakangiwing tanong niya.

Inirapan ko siya. "Pake mo?"

"Obsessed ka na sa osong 'yan," naiiling niyang wika. Umismid lang ako at tinuro ang bowl sa likod niya. Inabot naman niya ito kaagad at binigay sa akin.

Nilapag ko sa counter ang lunchbox at bowl. Bubuksan ko na ang lunchbox nang mag-salita ulit siya.

"Gusto mong sumama sa'kin bukas?" aniya.

Tumingin ako sa kanya. Napansin ko ang pag-aabang niya sa gagawin ko.

"Saan?" tanong ko.

He looked at me and grinned. "Malala ka na. Ipapatingin kita sa psychiatrist."

Umamba akong ihahampas sa kanya ang bowl. Nahulaan niya agad ito kaya tumakbo siya palayo habang ingat na ingat sa paghawak noong pitsel.

"Sira! Gusto mong isumbong kita kay Mama? Akala mo hindi ko alam na sa Batangas ka pumupunta kapag weekends! May pasabi-sabi ka pa sa amin na trabaho ang pinupuntahan mo," pananakot ko. "Hah! Sinong nagtatrabaho tuwing Linggo?" Nang-aasar akong tumawa.

Sa sinabi ko ay natahimik siya. Umismid ako. "Oh... Somebody here does not know what to say..." I said in a sing-song voice. "Cat got your tongue?" I smirked.

Pumunta siya sa harapan ko. He stared at me, a small smile playing on his lips. Gamit ang isang kamay niya ay pinitik niya ang noo ko.

"Aw!" Hinimas ko ang noo kong siguradong medyo namumula na ngayon.

"That's what you get from minding other's business," masungit niyang sabi. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. Hindi naman niya ako pinansin at tumalikod na. "Mag-dala ka ng mga baso," dagdag pa niya.

Napairap na lang ako sa papalayong Adan Cesare Casaje. Nang tuluyan na itong nakalabas ng kusina ay pinagtuunan ko na ng pansin ang pagkaing nasa counter. 

Balak kong ilipat ito sa bowl at initin. Nag-kibit balikat ako at kumuha ng kutsara at plato. Una kong inasikaso ang Chicken Alfredo bago ang kanin. Ingat na ingat ako nang ilipat ko sa plato ang kanin kasi ayaw kong masira ang hugis nito.

Nang natapos ay napabitiw ako ng hininga. Mamaya ko na lang ito kakainin. Kaso 'yung kanin... parang ayaw kong kainin kasi nacu-cute-an ako rito. 

Kinuha ko na lang ang food cover at tinakpan ang pagkain. Pagkatapos ay nagmadali na akong kumuha ng mga baso at tinungo ang garden. Natagpuan ko roon si Mama, si Addis na nakakandong sa kanya, si Papa, Kuya Dan, at ang dalawang babaeng nakaupo sa tapat nila.

Kapansin-pansin ang pagiging elegante ng nakatatandang babae. The way she crossed her one leg over the other while talking to Papa reminded me of the first time I met Ma'am Jessa. 

Nakaka-intimidate. 

Ang kasama naman niya ay mahinhing tumawa nang may sabihin sa kanya si Mama. Napansin ko kaagad ang medyo kulot nitong buhok tulad ng pagkaka-kulot ng buhok ni Papa at Addis. Ang alam ko ay namana iyon ni Papa kay Grandmama.

Habang naglalakad palapit ay nasulyapan ako noong babaeng kausap ni Mama. May sinabi ito kaya napalingon silang lahat sa akin. The younger woman looked at me with curiosity until it turned into recognition.
Ngumiti ako at nilapag sa mesa ang tray na may mga baso. Umupo ako sa tabi ni Mama at awtomatikong lumipat sa kandungan ko si Addis.

Hinalikan ko ang tuktok ng ulo niya at tumingin kay Papa nang nag-salita ito.

"Ate..." tawag ni Papa sa nakatatandang babae. "This is my princess Xenia Ruth," he proudly said. Tumingin siya sa akin pagkatapos. "Xenia, this is your Auntie Lucia and your cousin, Savannah..."

The older woman smiled at me. "You were still a baby the last time I saw you," she said.

Ngumisi sa akin ang pinsan kong si Savannah. "Kahit naman nagkakausap kayo through Skype, iba pa rin kapag in person na," sabi niya.

And I couldn't agree more. Ngayong nakita ko na sila sa personal ay lalo kong nakita ang mga pagkakapareho namin ni Auntie Lucia sa hitsura. Noon ay lagi kong naririnig ang pagkakahawig namin ngunit ngayon ko lang talaga nakumpira sa sarili ko. 

Namamangha pa rin akong isipin na pareho kami ng hugis ng mukha at labi. I mentally shook my head. Ngayon ay nakumpirma ko nang tatlong tao ang kahawig ko; si Mama, Tita Mercy, at Auntie Lucia. 

Auntie Lucia looked sophisticated. Sa tuwing may sinasabi sa kanya si Papa at Kuya Dan tungkol sa negosyo ay malaya nitong sinasabi ang kanyang opinyon. Si Savannah naman ay ngumingiti lang at tumatango sa bawat sasabihin ng kanyang ina.

Habang nag-uusap sila ay si Addis naman ang kinulit ko. Humahagikgik ito sa tuwing hinahawakan ko ang tainga niya. 

"How about you, Fely? Hindi ka na ba babalik sa pagiging nurse? Sayang naman ang pinag-aralan mo."

Sa sinabing iyon ni Auntie ako natigilan. Umangat ang tingin ko sa kanya pagkatapos ay kay Mama. Naramdaman ko agad ang tensyon ngunit ngumiti lang sa kanya si Mama. 

"My children are my priorities, Lucia. Especially now that Addis is still five... I need to be beside him," said Mama.

Bahagyang tumaas ang kilay ni Auntie ngunit hindi na ito sumagot. Tumango lang ito bago binalingan si Papa na nakatingin sa kanya nang mataman.

"Mama..." biglang tawag ni Addis kay Mama.

"Yes, little Addis?" ani Mama.

Ngumisi sa akin si Addis bago muling tumingin kay Mama. "I love you," he said.

My heart melted. At alam kong hindi lang ako ang nakaramdam noon dahil kahit sina Papa ay natigilan. Kinuha ni Mama si Addis at pinaliguan ng halik ang kapatid ko.

"Uhm..." Savannah stood up. "Pwede pong maki-gamit ng banyo?" tanong niya.

Tumango ako. "Sure. Samahan na kita."

Mabilis ang pag-iling niya. "No, no... It's fine," aniya.

"You go ahead, Sav," ani Auntie na tumango sa anak.

Dahil doon ay hindi na lang ako nagpumilit pa. Nag-excuse ulit si Savannah bago pumasok sa bahay. Tinawag ni Auntie ang pansin ko kaya bumaling ako sa kanya.

"Savannah is two years younger than you, Xenia..." she started. 

Alam ko naman iyon. Sinabi iyon sa akin ni Papa dati pa na may pinsan ako na mas bata sa akin. 'Yun nga lang, nasa New York sila at ngayon ko lang sila nakausap nang personal. Lalo na si Savannah. Dati ay hanggang sa pictures ko lang siya nakikita. 

"Can you look after her?" Auntie asked me.

"You don't have to ask for that, Auntie," nakangiting wika ko.
