''Hey! welcome!!'' natutuwang salita ni Maxein kay beatrice, nakipag kita siya sa dalaga dito sa mall upang magpalamig ng ulo.
Beatrice came back to the philippines upang magpalamig, pero upang mahulog rin ang loob sakanya ni Maxein, yun ang pagta-trabahuhan niya.
''T-the social media ang going crazy, they were following me... since ang alam nila na mag asawa tayo..'' ani ni beatrice, na pinapakita ang 100k followers niya sa instagram, napakamot nalang ng ulo si maxein.
''pasensya na.''
Maxein wanna get married and start a new family, pero ang gusto niyang mapakasalan ay matutunan niyang mahalin, o mamahalin na niya agad pang habang buhay.
''Pasensya na, i didn't meant na ganito magiging kagulo a--''
''i's okay, it's fine! it's not a big deal!'' she giggled, ngumiti nalang si Maxein, naalala niya si Amber kay beatrice, well... ang dating amber.
''how's your acting by the way? di na kita gaano nakikita sa tv ngayon.'' Bea said, nagsimula na silang maglakad. ''well.. babalik na ako para mag acting next week, nag leave lang ako sandali.'' he explained.
''by the way... thanks for being with me at this time.'' bea smiled softly, maxein smiled back.
they were talking for a whole month now, simula nang umalis si maxein para umuwi sa pinas, ay madalas na niya kausap, ka-call or kavideo call ang babaeng ito araw araw at gabi gabi, si bea narin ang dahilan kung bakit maayos ang kalagayan ni Maxein ngayon.
''thank you too, it means so much for me also.''Maxein said.
not an hour past, nagkasalubong ang landas nila Maxein at amber, at ang kasama ni amber ay ang anak niya at ang lalakeng nasa tabi niya na si nixon.
hindi narin maganda ang tinignan ni Maxein at Nixon, pero si amber naman ay inirapan si bea kahit nang nginingitian nito ni bea.
''Oh, you're here.'' Maxein said, masama ang tingin ni maxein kay nixon, the same with amber, hindi rin niya gusto nang makita ang pagmumukha ni bea.
''Yes, and i am bringing... Amber and maxwell, para lumamig ang ulo nit--''
''good, nandito rin kami ni bea for our date... kase nga, she's my wife right?'' he said, kahit medyo regretable ang lumabas sa bibig nito, binigyan parin niya ng angas ang dalawa sa harap nito, while bea just held his arm.
''Maxein, please.... tara nalang, we're here to have fun right?''bea said, trying to calm maxein down.
''oh good, buti pa ang babae mo nalalabas mo, pero anak mo di mo mabigyan ng oras.'' amber snapped back, masama ang tingin ng dalawa sa isa't isa, ang dalawang magkasintahan, ay galit na sa isa't isa.
kahit man ayaw magalit ni Maxein kay amber, ay kailangan niyang tigasan ang puso nito upang hindi na niya mamahal ulit si amber, katulad nga ng gusto ni Maxein, ayaw na niyang balikan ang nakaraan, he wanted to move forward and start a new and fresh relationship.
''hey, hey.. tama na...'' nixon said, he just lead the mother and son away from the couple and walked away, trying to calm the athmosphere down.
Maxein looked up, stressed na naman ang lalakeng to, pero gusto nitong umiyak dahil sa gusto niyang mayakap ang anak nito, sobrang miss na niya si Maxwell, at gusto rin niyang makasama ito muli.
Nixon's POV
nilayo ko na mag ina sa dalawang iyon, grabe talaga ang tadhana, sa lahat ng pwede naming makasalubong, iyon pang si Maxein at bea.
ever since nagbakasyon ako, hindi na ako nakabalik sa filming industry, at hindi ko na rin natapos-tapos ang isang pelikula na sinusulat ko, with all of these drama, tell me? paano ako makakapag focus?
i don't wanna be selfish, alam kong hindi naman pwedeng sa lahat ng bagay si Amber at mga kapatid ko parin ang inuuna ko, dapat minsan para rin sa kabutihan ko, pero right now, i don't need comfort because i'm feeling okay.
Amber is not okay, and she needs comfort, kahit kanina lang, umiyak siya nung sinundo ko siya at papunta kami dito sa mall, sad to say... she still loves that bastard.
after hanging out some time at the mall, dumeretso na kami sa bahay nila travis para narin mag good time, teka.. baka mali ang isipin niyo ah? what i meant a little wine and a little talk.
nang pinatulog na niya ang anak niya, ramdam ko ang sakit at lungkot sa ka kanyang dalawang mata, grabe.. how can she survive this kind of situation?
wait, she didn't survived yet, she's still suffocating, all i can see is that she wants him back, it him that she only wants.
''Nixon...i-i'm sorry na nadamay ka pa sa kaguluhan namin ni xein.'' she spoke out of the blue, i took a sip of my wine as i swirl the substance in the glass with a little motion on my hands.
''it's not a big deal, lahat ng tao nag kakamali.''i said, she smiled at me and held my hand that was resting on my lap, with both of her hands, she looks at me deep in my eyes with a smile on her face.
but that was not the smile i'm looking for, that's the smile of pity and begging.
''i-i know it's been a month... pero i just wanna... say the truth kase sobrang bigat na.'' she said, tears starts to form on her eyes as she looks at me, her grip started to tightened.
''what?'' i asked.
''I-i still love Maxein...''
teka? paki ulit?
''say it again?'' i said.
''i-i still love... my ex-husband..'' she said as she looks down, i smirked and patted her head, there's nothing wrong of loving the man that made you happy.
''i know you did all your best to give me your time and effort just to help me move on... pero bakit parang ang hirap? he already moved on from me, he has a girlfriend, and i'm right here... still crying every night about him, wishing that he's in the bed right beside me.'' she cried.
''Amber, there's nothing wrong, and my efforts is not going to waste, you're still on the process of improving, a love like yours and maxein is really hard to forget about, and i get it... i've been through your situation! pero... here's one important question.'' i said, looking deeply into her eyes, napalunok siya ng pinunasan niya ang luha na bumubuhos na parang gripo.
''do you wanna go back to him? and cancel the annulment?'' i started.
.
.
.
.
''in short... do you wanna continue your relationship?''
''i don't know if he'll accept me... i have nothing on me, i got no fucking reasons for him to come back---''
''hey! stop!!'' i snapped.
''you're not the one who's supposed to be thinking about that! Maxein should be!! you are the prize he just lost, he's not the knight and shining armour who protected the wrong princess! you showed Maxein that you can protect yourself, and he did not like that because he wanted to protect you. he left because he thinks that you don't need him anymore,
.
.
.
.
he left because he thinks you're too strong and better for him! wag mong i-down ang sarili mo.'' i yelled at her, napatigil ito at nagkatitigan kami, she cried once again.
''i don't know what to do Nixon!! i love him for god's sake! that's all i know!'' she sobbed pulling her knees up and hugging them as she burries her face on to it.
''sshh... stop crying.'' i said, i hugged her even though she wouldn't hug back.
as i was hugging her, i felt her loosening up, hindi siya kumikibo, at parang naging mabigat siya sa pakiramdam ko, i pulled her away and her head fell on to the cushion back, her eyes were closed and she's not responding.
''amber?!'' i called but she did not responded, she's like deeply asleep and trapped in her dreams.
''Travis!! tifanny!! si amber!!'' tawag ko, tumakbo ang dalawa papunta samin, nanlaki ang mata nila.
''nahimatay siya!!'' i said, i pulled her up to my grip and carried her in bridal style, kinuha ni travis ang susi ng kotse ko at nagmadali na kaming lahat papunta doon.
------------------
Amber awoken from her hospital bed, and we were happy to see that she is finally awake.
''amber! thank god you're awake!!'' tifanny said, hugging amber tightly, ako naman na napatingin sakanya at hinawakan ang kamay niya.
''good god amber!! ano ba kasing nangyayari sayo?!'' i asked, i kissed the back of her hand, travis is left with the kids at si tifanny nalang ang sumama samin.
''w-where am i?'' she asked, her eyes gathered and rolled around the place and explored, ako naman na hinawakan ang pisnge niya. ''you're in the hospital, please... get some rest.'' i said.
dumating na agad ang doctor, at may hawak itong mga papel at tinigtignan niya ang mga iyon habang lumapit naman ito kay amber.
''alright Mrs.Ferrer...i have your results.'' she said. ''doc? ano pong meron sakanya?'' tifanny asked.
''Miss amber, you have to be careful, you collapsed of pure stress and anxiety, and it's very bad for you mental health, also... a good diet has to do with all of your daily mind exercises, looks like you're not doing too good, your 4kg overweight.
.
.
.
.
and also.. iwas-iwasan na natin ang pagiging stressed, or else mapapanganib ang buhay ni baby..''
''b-baby?'' amber asked.
''congrats miss amber! you're 3 weeks pregnant!''
''W-wait... h-how? i t-took my pills everyday...'' amber said.
''well miss amber, are you sure you take your pills everyday? kase possible parin naman na mabuntis ka, pero it has 95% chances na miscarriage kase yung barrier na yun ay pinipigilan ang other sperm cells na mabuild up si baby.
.
.
.
and for now, the baby is doing fine, i see no sign of illness and the baby or fetus will develop normally.'' she said, tumingin ako kay amber, napatingin nalang ito sa isang pader.
''so maybe.. may patigil tigil ka ng pag inom? non? how many weeks na sa tingin mo na tumigil ka sa pills?'' she asks, i looked at amber and remember the last time she took her pills, and she took one on our last vacation, at never ko nang nakita na may reminder siya, or parang hindi narin niya nalalabas ung pills sa bag....
''it was a month ago when you last had one, amber.. how come you forgot about this?'' tifanny said, looking at amber with pity.
''well.. ito nalang miss amber, i will consult some vitamins for you and the baby, at gatas na iinumin mo for the development of your future child, and syempre.. iwas iwas sa stress, for now.. you can eat 2 portions of meal pero... no carbs or fatty foods, at syempre rin.. iwas iwas na rin muna sa exercise, i recommend light yoga for your mind and body meditation, and a little weight loss.'' the doctor said.
''and i'll pray for your baby's development as always, take care miss amber.'' the doctor smiled and left the room, napatingin ako kay amber na nakatitig nalang siya sa isang lugar.
''Amber? a-are you okay?''
Bea's POV
''thank you for driving me home, Maxein...'' i said, he smiled at me as we stop by into my aunt's place.
''no problem, you just can't go home all by yourself matapos kitang pagudin.'' he said, i smiled and looked down, umiinit ang buong katawan ko, pati ang pisnge ko.
lagi ko nalang naiisip ang isang bagay na to; am i the luckiest woman alive? i'm dating the billionaire's son and the hottest sexiest man in the filming industry? what do i want?
i want to marry him.
i looked at him, and he looks back at me, i slowly lean into him... hoping this is the time for me to kiss him, my last attempt was a pure failure, but i hope... this time will be different.
he pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss wasn't passionate, i felt his hot kiss and tounge swirling into mine... i did not know how to kiss, but i just went with the flow.
his hands hold both of my cheeks as he devours my lips and tounge, his kiss was so tasty, his aggressiveness is something that is such a turn on for a woman like me.
''hhmmm...'' he moaned as he kissed me, making my lady parts hotter.
we pulled away from the hot 1 minute make out, he smirks as he licks his lips and chuckles, looking mildly embarrass of what he did to me. ''i-i'm sorry i got out of control, bea..'' he chuckled.
''i-it's fine... you can do that all the time...'' kinabahan ako sa lumabas sa aking bibig, nanlaki ang mata ko at nahiya sa pinagsasabi ko.
''w-what? you're so bold, aren't you?'' he asked with a smirk, forming a seductive look on his face.
''n-nothing---'' before i can fix myself, he pulled me once again into a passionate kiss, this time it felt love and sincere in it, it tastes so good.
he pulls away and looked deeply into my gaze. ''i'll pick you up for dinner tomorrow, 7pm.'' he said.
''r--really.. a-anong gaga---''
''that's for you to find out what you're gonna eat.'' he winked at me, ako naman na lumabas na ng kotse niya as he drives away.
my hair so damn messy.
