Can Tayve fulfill those emptiness and loneliness inside her? or she will endure it forever.
"What happened to the both of you?"
Napahilot ako sa sintido ko habang nakatingin sa dalawang nakayukong waiter sa harap ko. I couldn't imagine na magsusuntukan silang dalawa sa harap ng mga customer namin. I sighed and remove my eyeglasses sa sobrang inis ko.
"Ma'am someone is looking for you" My secretary interrupt me habang pinapagalitan ko ang dalawang trabahador namin.
"This would be the last. Go back to your work" I said before I turn around para puntahan ang naghahanap sakin.
I eyes widen nung makita ko kung sino ang naghahanap sa akin. I smiled noong makalapit ako sa kanya.
"Sis, Surprise" Mai said, before hugging me. she's my bestfriend. "I miss you" she also told me.
I hugged her back "I miss you too." pinakawalan namin ang isa't-isa "What are you doing here? Akala ko ba nasa Switzerland ka?" I asked her.
Sinesyasan ko siya na sumunod sakin papunta sa office ko para dun mag-usap at magkamustahan. Pagpasok namin sa office ko pabagsak siyang umupo sa couch doon.
"Eh kasi ang sabi sa akin ng magaling mong kapatid uuwi ka na raw ng Pinas next week" She said habang nakapikit "so naisip kong puntahan ka dito at sabay na tayong umuwi" dugtog pa niya.
"Pwede naman tayon magkita na lang sa don pag uwi. Nagsayang ka pa ng pamasahe" I said while looking at the papers na need kong pirmahan.
"Ayaw mo ba? choosy ka pa ikaw na nga pinuntahan" medyo may pagtatampong sabi nya "Labas tayo later huh. Let's go to the bar" She said excitedly. This is what I love about this girl sobrang bilis magpalit ng mood.
I just smile and nodded to her. Hindi na ako nagsalita at ganoon din siya. Tinapos ko na agad ang trabaho para makauwi muna bago kami pumunta sa bar.
We did go to the bar that night. We're busy drinking and chatting. Hindi pa kami sumasayaw. Well hindi talaga ako sumasayaw I hate dancing but Mai really loves dancing. Wala pa siya sa mood dahil marami daw siyang chika sa akin.
"So.... ready ka na bang makita siya ulit?" Nasamid ako sa biglang tanong ni Mai. Napatitig ako sa kanya at nag-isip ng right words to answer her question.
Alam naming pareho kung sino ang tinutukoy nya. Come to think of it years na noong huli kaming nagkita. Pag-uwi ko ng Pilipinas ay hindi malabong hindi kami magkita.
Nilagok ko muna ang iniinom kong alak bago ako sumagot "I don't know. Hindi ko pa naman naiisip yan. Maybe I can be casual to him or maybe iiwasan ko nalang. Bahala na" I told her at uminom ulit para maiwasan ang kaba dulot ng tanong niya.
Hindi na ulit nagtanong si Mai. Maybe she feel that I'm not comfortable with that topic. She left me para pumunta sa dance floor. While I just remain seated and drinking. Iginagala ko ang mata ko para panoorin ang mga tao sa paligid ko, at the same time to think on what my bestfriend asked me.
I went to the restroom to pee and retouch my makeup dahil maya-maya lang ay uuwi na kami. Kakalabas ko lang ng restroom at pabalik na ako couch namin. I was busy searching my phone on my purse when I bump into someone ma mukhang lasing na lasing na.
I look to the man's face. Pero bigla akong natigilan. Bigla akong nanlamig. Gusto kong umalis pero ayaw gumalaw ng mga paa ko. Rinig ko ang tibok ng puso ko, halos hindi ako makahinga habang nakatitig sa kanya Bakit ngayon pa? Bakit ngayon hindi pa talaga ako handa?
"Tayve" pabulong na sabi ko. The man looked at me. Tinititigan niya akong mabuti na parang kinikilala.
"Sorry miss. Uhhh. Can I excuse myself? I really need to go to the restroom" agad akong tumabi para makadaan siya. I looked at his back halata na ang kalasingan sa kaniya dahil medyo pasuray na ang lakad nya. Hindi niya rin ako nakilala maaaring dala ng kalasingan. Bumalik ako sa upuan namin at pabagsak na umupo at napabuntong hininga.
Nakatulala lang ako iniisip ang lalaking nakabangga. Kanina'y tinatanong lang ako ni Mai kung handa na ba akong makita siya. Nakakatawang isipin na dito ko pa talaga siya makikita. Pero hindi pa naman ako nakakauwi ng Pilipinas bakit dito? at bakit nandito din siya? Ilang buntong hininga rin ang ginawa ko bago tumayo at hanapin si Mai ng makauwi na rin kami.
Nakakailang hakbang pa lang ako ay nakita ko na si Mai na nagmamadaling lumapit sa akin. Bigla niya akong hinila pabalik ng couch para kunin ang mga gamit namin at hinila ulit paalis roon. Para siyang hinahabol ng kunsino man.
"Mai anong nangyayari sayo? May humahabol ba?" huminto siya at tumtitig siya sa mga mata ko. Napabuntong hininga siya bago sumagot.
"That man is here. Nakita ko siyang palabas ng restroom" kabadong sabi niya.
"I know, nagkita na kami" sabi ko na ikinalaki ng mata niya.
"A-ayos ka lang ba?" nag-aalalang tanong niya sa akin.
"Ofcourse. Mukhang di naman niya ako nakilala sa sobrang kalasingan" natapang na sabi ko.
"Tara nang umuwi. para makapagpahinga na rin tayo" sabi niya sa akin. at tumango lang ako.
Palabas na sana kaming dalawa ng biglang magstop ang music at nakarinig ng sigawan. Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita ko si Tayve na kahandusay sa sahig hindi na makatayo sa sobrang kalasingan and maybe sa sapak ng lalaki sa harapan niya.
Lalapit na sana ako pero pinigilan ako ni Mai. Tinitigan niya ako na parang kinakausap na huwag kong ituloy ang gagawin ko. I just smile at her to let her know that it's okay. I hear her heave sighed and binitawan ako. Lumapit ako sa bouncer na umaawat sa kanila.
"What's happening here?" I said coldly. They looked at me before aswering.
"That guy kissed my girlfriend" The guy who punched him said. Napapikit ako dahil sa sinabi niya. Why this guy would kiss random girl? Napailing na lang ako at pinagmasdan siya.
"Are you with this guy, ma'am?" the bouncer asked me.
"Uhh. y-yes... I'm sorry on what he have done. Don't worry I'll pay for the damages" I said just to end the conversation.
Ayaw pa sana kaming pakawalan ng sumuntok sa kanya. But when he looked into my eyes ay pinagbigyan na rin niya kaming makaalis. Naglalakad na ako papunta kay Mai akay-akay ang lalaki. Napairap si Mai sa nakita.
"Ano okay na? Paano yang isang yan?" She asked me while helping me para akayin si Tayve. "Iwan mo nalang kaya yan jan sa labas?" Sabi pa niya.
"Hindi naman pwede yon baka mapano pa siya. Maybe dalhin nalang natin sa hotel" sabi kong nag aalala. pinasok namin siya sa backseat ng kotseng dala ko.
"Ako ng bahala sa kanya. I know you're tired galing ka pa sa biyahe" sabi ko sa kanya.
"Ayos lang ako. Sasamahan na kita baka ano pang mangyari sayo" sabi niya habang nakatingin sa bintana. Alam ko namang pagod na siya eh.
"Okay lang, Sis. You need to rest. Wala namang mangyayari sa akin kasi lasing na lasing ang isang yan" Pag-aassure ko sa kanya. Naramdaman ko ang maninitig niya sa akin.
"Hindi yon ang inaalala ko. Yang puso mo. Sis, advice lang huh wag kang gagawa ng hakbang napagsisihan mo sa bandang huli. Don't let him enter your life again. Dahil baka masaktan ka lang ulit" sabi niya.
Tahimik kami habang nagda-drive ako pabalik ng hotel. I informed the staff na magluto ng soup for this guy and arrange a hotel room for him. Mai will stay sa room na ino-occupy ko sa hotel.
Nangmakarating kami sa hotel ay agad kaming sinalubong ng dalawang bellboy. The receptionist told me that this guy has a room here. Nagulat ako sa sinabi ng receptionist. He has a room here pero hindi kami nagkikita. Oh well... maybe it's a good thing. Sabay-sabay kaming umakyat nila Mai naghiwalay lang ng makarating si Mai sa floor kung nasaan ang room ko.
Nangmakarating kami sa room niya dito sa hotel ay agad kong inutusan ang mga bellboy na ihiga sa kama ang lalaki at pinababa sila upang kunin ang soup. Nagpasalamat ako sa kanila ng maibigay nila ang soup. Ginising ko si Tayne para makahigop ng sabaw.
Nakapikit siya habang sinusubuan ko siya ng matapos ay bigla na lang siyang nahiga. Sasabihan ko sanang maligo o maghilamos manlang pero mukhang hindi na niya kaya kumuha nalang ako ng basin at towel para punasan siya. Habang pinupunasan ay tinititigan ko siya marami ng nangyari at nabago sa kanya pero di ko parin maisip na dito kami magkikita at sa ganitong situation.
Nang matapos ay kinumutan ko lang siya. Akmang aalis na sana ako ng hawakan niya ang kamay ko. Tinignan ko ang hawak niya.
"Sky" bigla niyang sabi ng ikinagulat ko tinignan ko siya at nakita kong nakapikit siya. akmang aalisin ko ng magsalita siya ulit.
"Aoi" bigla akong manlamig dahil ang pangalang hindi ko na naririnig ay bigla bigla niyang sasabihin.
Tumayo siya mula sa pagkakahiga at hinila ako para yakapin. Nanghihina ako dahil sa narinig ko sa kanya wala akong lakas para itulak siya.
And that night.. sobra akong nagsisi na nakialam pa ako sa bar na yon at dinala siya sa hotel room niya. Sana nakinig na lang ako kay Mai.
Because that night I made a mistake. A mistake that makes my blue sky turn into dark again.
Dear readers, this book has resumed daily updates. It took Sabrina three whole years to realize that her husband, Tyrone didn't have a heart. He was the coldest and most indifferent man she had ever met. He never smiled at her, let alone treated her like his wife. To make matters worse, the return of the woman he had eyes for brought Sabrina nothing but divorce papers. Sabrina's heart broke. Hoping that there was still a chance for them to work on their marriage, she asked, "Quick question,Tyrone. Would you still divorce me if I told you that I was pregnant?" "Absolutely!" he responded. Realizing that she didn't mean shit to him, Sabrina decided to let go. She signed the divorce agreement while lying on her sickbed with a broken heart.

The once so heartless man groveled at her bedside and pleaded, "Sabrina, I made a big mistake. Please don't divorce me. I promise to change." Sabrina smiled weakly, not knowing what to do...
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
