Life can be hard sometimes, its a reality. But, If life always easy and there's no misery. Are we able to be strong as we are now? Are we able to learn? Yes, maybe but not that brave enough. Every feelings is valid. You can't judge a person just because you suffer more than her. You wear different shoe and we have different sizes. We don't know each other struggle. You are there to feel sympathy.

Marahan kong hinawakan ang lapida ni Dad. "You can be with mom Dad, you have your justice now. I love you so much " I wipe my tears. Hindi ko namalayan tumulo. Pagkatapos mahaplos ng mga daliri ko ang bawat pangalan ni Dad ay marahan ko itong inilapit sa lapida ni mommy.

I breathed heavily "Mom, I miss you so much. I want to be with you. But, Im sorry that I can't be with you for now. You would understand. I love you so much."
Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago ko napagpasyahan na umalis. Dumiretso ako sa mansion kung nasaan ang kambal at si Tita Tracy. Kahit masakit pipiliin naming bumitaw at magpatuloy ng wala na si Dad. We were closing the chapter that Daddy is there and now we are opening a new chapter where there is only memories of Dad.

"Sarriene, mabuti at dumating kana. The food is ready. Let's eat" magiliw na sabi ni tita at iginiya ako sa kitchen. The twins are already there, silent and waiting. I smiled and kiss each them on the cheeks. They greeted me cheerfully.

"Since, wala pang pasok ang kambal. We will take a vacation abroad."  panimula ni Tita Tracy.
Tumango ako bago uminom ng tubig.
"That would be a good idea Tita"

Ngumiti ito at nagpatuloy "We will visit Allison too." Tita looked hesitant when she said that. I smile at her to assure its fine. After all, Allison is still her daughter. We cannot deny it. For now, maybe we need to heal first. We need healing from a past.

"Kailan kayo aalis"

Tiningnan ko ang kambal na masayang kumakain. Pero alam kong naguguguluhan parin sila sa pangyayari.

"After the Thanksgiving Party of the Company. " Ngumiti ako. Nagkukwento si Tita and I know she's trying her best to be fine also. She's hurting too. Nagpatuloy lang kami sa pag uusap hanggang sa matapos kumain. Its been a month since everything is good. I'm now the new CEO of our company. The Partnership between the Lee's turn out to be successful. Speaking of Lee. Skyler is fine now and he's resting. I'll just visit him tomorrow.

Nasa kanilang mansion si Skyler nagpapagaling kaya dumiretso na ako doon pagkatapos ng meeting sa opisina. This day is not hectic since we are just preparing for the thanksgiving party and that will be on Friday night.

"Pasok po kayo Ma'am " iginiya ako ng maid papasok. Tita and Tito are not here. Nasa kompanya.

"Nasa kwarto po si sir Skyler ma'am " ani ng maid kaya nginitian ko at tinanguan.

"Salamat " I said. Umakyat ako kwarto ni Skyler. Nasa pintuan ako at akmang kakatok ng bumukas ito. Naiwan sa ere ang kamay ko at marahan binaba ng magtama ang mata namin.  Napaawang ang labi nito pero napalitan ning ng ngiti. Marahan niya akong hinila at niyakap ng mahigpit na parang ilang taon kaming hindi nagkita.

"Darling, I miss you " anito at sumiksik sa leeg ko at mas hinigpitan ang yakap sa akin. Napangiti ako at gumanti ng yakap.

"Kung makayakap parang ang tagal nating hindi nagkita" sabi ko at bumitaw. Hawak ko ang bag ko kaya binaba ko sa center table niya.

"I always miss you Darling " I rolled my eyes at him. His wearing a khaki shorts and just a white shirt revealing his biceps and muscles. Damn! Physically mentally weak. No matter how many good body of men i saw on training, he just hit diifferent.  I averted my gaze and pretending to look at his ceiling to the painting on the wall.

"Come here Darling" He is now seating on his bed. He look hot with the small cut of his eyebrow. Napatikhim ako at dahan dahan lumapit sa kanya. Nakatitig lang siya sa bawat galaw ko palapit sa kanya. Na parang ang makita akong papalapit sa kanya ang pinakamaganda sa lahat. The intense gaze that makes my knees weak. The lips that will gonna wreck my system. And the loud beat of my heart that gonna end my whole soul.

Mabilis niya akong hinila paupo sa kaniyang lap. He then snaked his arms around my waist and buried his face on my neck. Im just wearing a black tank top paired with a black skirt so he can freely sniff into my skin.

"Are you feeling better now?" I shut my eyes. Of course Sarriene, Damn! He mumbled something I didnt understand.

"I love you  Darling "  The last thing i heard when i felt the bed on my back as Skyler on top of me. Looking dangerously hot and feels surreal. He kiss me softly until it turn torrid and deep. I gasped. I hold his arms as it feel like my whole world depends on it.

Busy ako sa pagtatrabaho at hindi ko namalayan bumukas ang pinto. Napaangat ang tingin ko ng makita si Skyler sa aking harap. Malawak na nakangiti habang may dalang paper bag.

"Lunch time Darling. Don't skip it " napabuntong hininga nalang ako sa kawalan. This is man is really something.

"Don't you have work"  I said pretend to be pissed. He look chill and begun to prepare the food.

He look at me for a bit"I have but it's lunchbreak"  he said like it was nothing. "Why" he stop for a while at tiningnan ako habang nakakunot ang noo.

I was out of the words kaya tumikhim muna ako "Kasi naman Darling, its almost hour ang layo ng office natin. Its a hassle for you " ani ko at lumapit sa kanya. I pout for a bit at marahan iniyakap ang braso sa kanya. Tumingala ako at nakakunot parin ang kanyang kilay.

"Its not hassle Darling" ani nito, na parang naguguluhan sa sinabi ko at wala siyang makitang mali. I want to eat lunch with him everyday but malayo ang kompanya niya sa company ko. Hindi parin tapos ang pinapagawa namin na opisina na para sa amin.

"But you can use that time to rest"  I said.

"You are my rest " I rolled my eyes at his clingy side. But I love it anyway.
Pumikit ako at nang dumilat ay napabuntong hininga siya.

"Fine" I can finally breath but when he add "I will transfer my office here. " he said with finality and kissed me on the lips so that I cant say nothing about his decision. Hihiwalay na sana ako sa halik niya ng hawakan niya ang leeg at likod ng ulo ko para mas mapalapit sa kanya. He kissed me torridly and hungrily, nangigigil.

Napatili ako ng inangat niya ako at inupo sa mesa at marahan pinaghiwalay ang mga binti ko at pumagitna. Habol namin ang hininga nang maghiwalay. Mas pumula ang kanyang labi kaya napalunok na lamang ako. Tanggal angas First lieutenant.

"I love every time with you Sarriene. I want it really bad"  Lumakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko sa sinabi niya.

I smile lovingly at him"I love every time with you Darling" He kissed me again and this time I kissed him back with the same intense. I loved this man so much.

We did it in my office making him late on his meetings. His not a good role model of a boss. Kahit may parte sa akin na ayaw pero aaminin kong gustong gusto ko.

"You are so late " I said as I fix my self and put some lipstick. He is buttoning his shirt now.

He smirked, "Let them wait, I'm the boss" I laugh without humor as I finish buttoning his shirt dahil sinasadya niyang bagalan.

"You are a bad boss. Tsk. Not a good influence "  Napailing iling ako at hinila na siya palabas. I kissed him on the lips first.

"Go now, "

He is so happy today and such in good mood as he wore his sunglasses.
"I work harder for our future. "  ani nito at yumakap bago pumasok sa elevator. Napangiti ako at bumalik sa opisina. The food is still there. Napailing ako nang maalala ang nangyari kanina.
