Merry Christmas and Happy New Year po!!!! As always, thankie much for those who are dropping by. Please tell me if I used BLAG in exaggeration. hehehe. :) :) :) I am very sorry if this update is a bit lame... babawi na lang po ako. :D
CHAPTER 13
BLAG!
Richard and Liza quickly turned their attention towards the sound. Liza rushed towards the door with Richard just behind her. The door is slightly open and they found on the floor by the door a box of cake from a popular bakeshop inside the airport. The two looked at each other both thinking the same thing. Richard got his phone and dial a number.
***
Feeling weak from too much crying, Maya sat silently at the last pew of the church. She ended up stopping the taxi on the first church that she passed by.
Richard Lim. Roberto Lim. Dad...
He is the son of the person who caused the death of my father!
Tears started to run down her cheeks again. She felt betrayed and heartbroken; she's angry and disappointed. She's feeling too much emotions; the memory of the death of his father came flashing back on her mind. The things that she has succeeded to lock out of her consciousness are like fresh wounds that will never heal.
***
Liza? What did Emman say?
Liza sighed before answering. We guessed it right. Emman just arrived in their condo...alone. Nagpaiwan si Maya to drop by a cake for Abby here.
Richard slumped his shoulder and weakly sat on his chair, massaging his temple in frustration and regret. He has been trying to call her and has sent messages, but it seemed that she turned off her phone.
I guess, I should have listened to you, I should have explained to Maya everything from the start. I am just hoping that I can still fix this. Richard said desperately.
***
Maya has been crying and wallowing on what have happened years ago, when Richard's voice from that morning reverbrated on her mind ...Dad will be thrilled. I found Atty. dela Rosa's family. She quickly straightened up on her seat and dig for her phone from her bag. She got so emotional when she left the LAS office that her mom's safety slipped her mind. As her phone turns on, messages came - all came from Richard. She just ignored them and press her mother's number.
***
For the nth time, Richard dialed her number again, he got a little hope when he heard a busy tone. He waited for a few minutes, he was about to press the redial button of his phone when an incoming call flashed on the screen.
After the call...
Liza, please cancel my flight.
Okay. I think it's a better idea, hanapin mo muna si Maya to explain things.
No Liza, i will still go to San Nicolas, but i can no longer wait for my flight. Please call Captain Villanueva, i will take the chopper.
Ok. Great. I will arrange it now. Liza answered with a smile.
Thanks. I hope Maya will give me a chance. Richard sighed but hopeful.
***
Ms Maya! Kumusta po? Ang tagal ko na po kayo hindi napasyal dito ah.
Medyo busy lang po, Manong Jerry. Maya tried her best to answer cheerfully to one of the loyal guards in the university when he greeted her by the entrance.
Teka, bakit po pala kayo nandito?
Surprise ko po sana si Mommy.
Naku Ms Maya, nakaalis na po si Dean... mga isang oras na po. The kind guard said after checking his watch.
Maya furrowed her brows, puzzled. Pero mag-alas tres pa lang po ah.
May bisita po yata kayo, may sumundo po kasi sa kanya na lalaki. Magkasama po silang umalis.
Lalaki? Maya suddenly felt nervous. Professor po dito? She managed to ask.
Hindi po professor, hindi ko po kilala, baka po taga-Maynila, kanina ko lang po sya nakita dito e.
Ganun po ba? Sige, mauna na po ako... baka nasa bahay na si Mommy.
Sige po, Ms Maya. Ingat po.
Maya quickly left the university, scared and overly worried on her mother's safety. She is holding back her tears, thinking of worst thing to happen. She has lost his father and she is determined to do her best to save her mother.
Richard Lim! As much as she wanted to justify that Richard won't do such things, what she heard that morning are enough to doubt the Richard Lim that she met and had been with her in the past few weeks.
***
As soon as Maya stepped inside their gate, she saw Richard on the phone, walking back and forth in their garden.
Just as she was about to approach him, her mom with Sabel behind her emerged from their front door carrying tray of food. From the looks of the situation, it seems that things are okay.
She stay rooted on her place, confused on what she is seeing. Seeing her mom safe and seems happy, she started to relax a bit. With all the emotional turmoil she has experienced since morning and the exhaustion from her flight, fatigue started to sink in and the last thing she remember is hearing Sabel screaming her name and strong arms encircling her body before everything turns black.
Until next chapter... :)

BCWMH Fanfic: It's You From The Start 12
CHAPTER 12
Mommy! We just landed po.
Anak, how was your flight? Did you enjoy? Mommy Tessie said on the other line.
Yes! Emman and I did not waste po the opportunity, we roam around the city. Maya giddily answered.
Wow, that's great... so i am assuming you are doing great, hindi ka ba nagkasakit? because of change of weather or something? How about the food?
Hindi naman po... Maya paused. I missed you mommy. How was everything there?
I missed you too, Anak. We are doing fine here. We just had our foundation day yesterday in the university. It was fun.
Awww, hindi na naman po ako naka-attend ng foundation day.
Her mother chuckled on the other line. Ikaw talaga, may next year pa naman, at saka next, next year pa. or wait, why don't you go home for few days... and go with me sa university just like before. Mommy Tessie tentatively suggested remembering the call she received the day before.
Hmmm, you really missed me Mom. But that's a great idea. I will just arrange my schedule and i will let you know.
As soon as Maya ended the call with her mom, her cp alerted her for an incoming message.
Good am, Mommy Maya. Are you back na po? Daddy said you'll be back by now. Yung dinner po, can we have it na later?
Maya smiled.
Ay sus, ang smile oh... si prince charming Richard na ba yan? Excited to see the love of his life again?
Emman who just also ended a call with her mom, approached and teased her seeing her smile.
Maya blushed remembering how Richard told her, "I love you" before she left, which she suddenly feels like a year ago. She suddenly felt the longing again and at the same time excited that she's back and might see him again in few hours.
Ikaw talaga Emman, si Abby 'tong nagtext. She's asking if we're back and asking about the dinner.
Emman chuckled. Para-paraan din itong si Mr Lim, si Abby pa ang pinag-text? Emman continues teasing her.
Maya just rolled her eyes on her friend and decided to call the Lim residence, as Emman and her walked towards the arrival area.
Hello, Manang Fe?
Good morning po. Si Abby po, pwede ko po ba sya makausap?
Mommy Maya! Did you receive po my message? Abby's excited little voice was heard on the other line few seconds later.
Hi baby! Yes, kaya nga ako tumawag. How are you?
I am fine po, I am just waiting for teacher Me-Ann for our class today.
Wow, that's good. Your dad mentioned to me last week nga about your classes, how was it?
Okay naman po. MommyMaya, yung dinner po natin, pwede na po later?
Ha? Well, it's just okay with me, but maybe you should ask your dad first.
Okay po, i will text him and then tell him to call you agad about our dinner.
Text him? Is your dad not home?
He left early daw po sabi ni Manang Fe.
Ha? Saan daw nagpunta? Airport?
Maya glanced at Emman, who stopped walking and seemed to be overly kilig. She just ignored him, trying to hide her own kilig.
O sige Abby, basta let's ask muna you daddy ha. See you soon.
Maya softly laughed seeing Emman trying to suppress shrieking sa sobrang kilig, he is trying to scream with poise since they are still in their uniform and might invite attention from the people around them.
Girl, baka susunduin ka? Maya blushed hearing from Emman what she also thought when Abby said that Richard left early to go to the airport. She felt giddy and excited on the thought of seeing Richard again after two days with no communication.
***
Chard, what is your plan?
Maya is flying back to Manila today, that is if she and Emman will take the earliest flight. I am planning to see her first after my meeting, then I am flying to Mindoro to meet her mom.
Richard gets his phone from his pocket when it alerted a message tone, then he smiled.
Liza chuckled seeing him smile. So, I guess she's back!
It's Richard's turn to chuckle. It's Abby.
Hi baby?
Really she called you?
No baby, I haven't talked to her. Daddy has a meeting but I promise to call her about our dinner. Tonight?
Richard glanced at Liza, who nods her head and mouthed 'late dinner'.
Okay, baby. But we still need to ask her, maybe she's tired from her trip.
Bye Baby.
So? Liza eagerly prompted as soon as Richard put down the phone.
Richard shook his head. Do you really need to ask? You already heard all of it. Richard answered with a smirk.
Liza rolled her eyes. Well, you'll be back here in Manila by 7pm, so you can just ask the driver to bring Maya and Abby in the restaurant here around the area so you'll save time.
Why don't you call Maya first, ask her about the dinner and well, I know that you're really dying to hear her voice now. Liza said teasingly.
Abby said Maya is okay with the dinner later and just ask me if it's okay with me. Richard said full of smiles.
Yun naman pala eh. I will look na for a restaurant and book a table for three. Liza sighed giddily. This is really exciting, this will be the first time you'll see each other after you said 'I love you' to her. Then she continued pouting. Isn't it possible to get Abby out of the scene muna later, para naman makapag-usap kayo ni Maya ng maayos?
Richard sighed and turned a bit serious. I guess it's actually better if Abby will be with us, you know that I mean it when I said I love her, but I am so stupid to just blurted it out because of frustration kasi hindi ko sya makikita for days. You know that I am avoiding for her to feel awkward around me, I want to maintain what we have, and maybe to have more than that especially now that I can talk to her mom na.
Liza smiled then said. Okay, so let's get going. I will just let you know the details of your dinner later. Go call your Maya. As Liza was about to get out the door, Richard's phone rang and she heard him called her. She went back to the seat in front of his table as Richard stood up to answer the call.
Mrs dela Rosa? Good morning po. Liza gaped, and can hear through his voice the nervousness of his face.
Liza sighed in relief when she heard Richard loosened up and uttered, "Mommy Tessie".
After a while, Richard said goodbye to Maya's mom.
Things are turning better? Liza asked as she stood up.
Yap, she's still the same loving mom that I met before. Richard answered as he dreamily sat back on his chair.
That's great! Liza said happily leaning to Richard to give him a pat on his shoulder. I am really happy, Chard. After all these years, you have found Maya and her mom. I am sure matutuwa si Tito Roberto kapag nalaman nya.
Yes Liza, I am sure Dad will be thrilled. Finally, I found Atty. Arturo dela Rosa's family. This calls for a celeb...
BLAG!
Mommy! We just landed po.
Anak, how was your flight? Did you enjoy? Mommy Tessie said on the other line.
Yes! Emman and I did not waste po the opportunity, we roam around the city. Maya giddily answered.
Wow, that's great... so i am assuming you are doing great, hindi ka ba nagkasakit? because of change of weather or something? How about the food?

Salamat, Be Careful With My Heart!
this may be a bit OA for some, but i really can't help but feel emptiness,,, i wanted to cry for some reason,,, i am surfing the net about them since morning,,, i took a leave from work because i really felt not so well,,, i am badly missing BCWMH,,, nothing prepared me for this,,, yes, they announced it months before,,, but i guess i really didn't have the courage to let go,,, as many says, BCWMH is not just like a tv show for me, it became a part of my life since it started,,, whenever things get tough, i comfort myself saying, "no worries, just watch the BCWMH episode later when you got home, things will be better",,, and now that they have ended,,, i really have difficulty moving on,,, well, of course in know, time will help me move on, but i guess it will really take a while...
THANK YOU, Be Careful With My Heart for the more than two years of inspiration, lessons about life and love, feel good episodes, kilig... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all the cast, crew, production staff, management and all people involved,,, THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving us a great show...
Be Careful With My Heart will forever be part of my life! Salamat!

BCWMH ends, but they will always be in my heart forever! Just what i have said, BCWMH fanfic will continue... i will try to let Richard-Maya love story flourish and continue forever! :)
Chapter 11
Maya? Maya! It's really you!
Maya and Emman are roaming the HKIA waiting for their flight back to Manila when someone called her. The two stopped walking and looked back to a lady all smiles approaching them.
Hi Maya! Great to see you here! Giving Maya a hug.
Alex! Hi. Maya returned the hug.
What are you doing here? Oh by the way, this is my co-FA and a very good friend, Emman. Emman, this is Alex.
Emman offered his hand for a handshake, and quickly gave a glance and a knowing smile to Maya.
Hi Emman, nice to meet you.
Same here! Emman answered on his falsetto voice.
Alex softly laughed at Emman's answer.
I am actually waiting for my connecting flight to London, my superior asked me to report back immediately. I supposed to ask Richard to set a dinner or lunch with you but we seemed not to find a common time.
Ladies, why don't you catch up for few minutes while I look around for something to give my mom.
Oh Emman, thank you. I will borrow Maya for a while, I just need to say something to her. Alex said winking to Maya.
Maya just sigh with the two agreeing just like that.
***
Richard is lucky to finally found you, he has been very different back then, but now I can see how he happy he is. He mentioned to me that he has already told you this but I just want to also say this myself, Richard and I are just good friends, nothing more. We dated before, well it is actually more of me convincing him to try dating me but there was really no spark, hahaha. Maya, you may not say it but I can feel that he is special to you, just promise me that you will not doubt Richard's love for you. Soon, things will be clearer, just hold on.
Girl! Maya! Ms Dela Rosa!!!!
Ha? O, Emman, may sinasabi ka ba?
Emman sighed. Ms dela Rosa, 5 minutes na lang briefing na natin, kanina pa ako tanong ng tanong dito which of which ang bibigay ko kay mommy, tulaley naman ang peg mo!!!
Sorry Emman, may iniisip lang.
Did that Alex said something kaya ka ganyan? I thought she's not part of the equation??
Hindi nga Emman, and just like what Richard told me before, she also said that they tried dating but that's it, nothing more.
Yun naman pala e. Emman answered rolling his eyes. Eh, what's the problem my dear, at ganyan ang aura mo?
She told me not to doubt Richard's love. I just find it weird, chill lang naman yung sa amin ni Richard, yes he said he likes me, we are together most of the time pero we are taking it slow pa lang naman. So parang out of line lang yung sinabi nya.
Emman just looked at her thinking what to say.
Di ba you will have dinner with Richard and Abby later? Why don't you tell Richard about you meeting Alex here and asked him why she said that.
What? Ayoko nga.. Nakakahiya! Maya frantically answered.
Emman laughed. Calm down, girl. I am just offering a solution para hindi ka na isip ng isip dyan.
Hay naku, puro ka kalokohan. Come on, let's go na nga. Maya said standing from her seat and pulling Emman with her.
Ano pa sinabi ni Alex, girl? Emman said teasing Maya.
Maya just answered him with a laugh. Tigilan mo na ako, we'll be late na.
***
Maya was back in Manila by around 3pm, she and Emman are in a hurry heading out of the arrival area. She planned to go home to the condo with Emman to freshen up, Richard and her agreed that he, with Abby, will fetch her at 6pm for their dinner. The two are waiting for their service van when Emman's phone rings.
Yes, Ms. Calandra, we are waiting po for the service van... Yes, she's with me po... Okay, I will ask her po... Okay, Maám.
Ano yun Emman? Ano sabi ni Ms Calandra?
Girl, I think you need to postpone your dinner with your prince charming. Emman dramatically said.
Huh? Why? Maya is puzzled.
Ms Calandra badly needs three FAs, she is still looking for another one. Peak season tayo ngayon and may delayed incoming flights... You can choose if you want to take the flight to Vancouver in an hour, they need one FA, or we can both take the Sydney flight leaving at 1815hr.
Sige, dun na lang sa Sydney para magkasama tayo, and we can still take a quick trip to the condo to change and get new set of uniform.
Okay, I will call Ms Calandra.
While Emman's on the phone with Ms Calandra, Maya decided to call Richard but his phone is out of reach so she called Abby instead.
***
Hello Richard, sorry, i have to cancel the dinner, but I called Abby na kanina to explain. Babawi na lang ako pagbalik ko.
No worries Maya. Have a safe flight. Wait, can I still see you before you leave?
Emman and I are on our way back to the airport now, my flight is at around 6 o'clock.
Richard sighed on the other line. I guess I'll see you when you return, I am now here at the airport but I will have a meeting in few minutes. When are you coming back?
It depends, Emman and I may take the first flight back to Manila since this is not really our assigned flight, I am not so sure, I will just call you.
Meaning... I may not be seeing you until the day after tomorrow? Richard softly answered. He suddenly felt so sad, he sort of used to see her almost everyday, if not, they will be on the phone for hours. Knowing that she'll be out of the country for few days gave him a sullen feeling.
There was an awkward silence. Maya felt Richard's change of tone, she too felt a sudden longing. After sometime, Maya heard Richard speak on the other line.
I will miss you.
Same here. Maya let her heart speak.
Bye Richard, got to go.
Maya?
Yes?
Have a safe flight... I will see you as soon as you return. I love you.
Maya silently gasped hearing those three words, she slowly moved her phone down from her ear not sure what to do.
On the other hand, Liza who just entered Richard's office to call him for the meeting, has to cover her mouth in surprise, catching the last line that the man in front of her just said on the phone.
She doesn't have to ask who's on the other line.
