The Way She Said Goodbye
"You don't have to love me back. Just be with me for 50 days. After that, I will be gone from your life like I didn't exist at all."
***
Adrienne Martinez has been in love with Yvandro Syjuco for God knows how long and she is known for being overly-territorial with him even if he always makes it clear that they are not and will never be an item.
But one day, Rienne approaches Andro and tells him this one bizarre thing; she asks him to stay with her in an island for 50 days and promises that after that, she will be gone from his life like she didn't exist at all.
He knows she is cunning. But there is something in her eyes that day which tells him that she is sincere. Desperate to free himself from the woman who has been pestering him for a decade, he agrees to her deal.
But as he stays with her, he sees a different side of her. Beneath the makeup, designer clothes, and bitchy attitude lies a soft-hearted and fragile Rienne who is almost too good to be true . . .
. . . but also too good at goodbyes.
***
"You did lots of things to pester me in the past. But out of all the nasty things you did, I hate the way you said goodbye the most."

Chapter: Special Chapter 05He knew he vowed to take care of Adrienne not only because she is his late best friend's little sister, but also because he wanted to do so.But lately, she is getting on his nerves.Hindi niya alam kung ano ang nangyari. Basta na lang nagising siya isang araw na nag-iba na ang turing sa kaniya ni Adrienne. And he is not dumb to know what her stares mean.Why wouldn't he? That was how he looked at her, too... some time before."Adrienne, will you stop clinging on to me, please? Harleen might see us anytime," Andro said while trying to yank her arm away from him.Pero syempre, hindi nagpatinag si Adrienne at parang walang narinig. Si Aveline naman na pinsan niya at bestfriend ni Adrienne ay napasimangot at napairap nang banggitin niya ang pangalan ng girlfriend niya."Kadiri, Kuya Andro. Bakit mo ba pinatulan ang Harleen na iyon? Hindi hamak namang mas saksakan ng ganda ang best friend ko at mas bagay kayo," sabi ni Av

Chapter: Special Chapter 04"Adrienne, you can't starve yourself. Here." Inabot ni Andro kay Adrienne ang isang box ng brownies. Alam kasi niyang paborito nito iyon dahil iyon ang lagi nitong pinapabili dati sa kuya nito. Pero hindi iyon tinanggap ng dalaga kaya napabuntong-hininga si Andro."I'm not hungry.""Says someone who hasn't eaten a decent meal for days. Look." Andro sat in front of her and he lifted her chin using his fingertip. But as expected, Adrienne just avoided his gaze. "Hindi puwedeng hindi ka kumain, Adrienne. Please. Just eat this. Kahit isang piraso lang."He got one brownie and gave it to her. She just looked at it and Andro felt panic rising in him as she started crying again."H-Hey...""Kuya used to buy me a box of brownie every other Sunday."He mentally cursed upon realizing what he had done. Agad na nagpaalam si Andro kay Adrienne para kumuha ng ibang makakain ng dalaga. He shouldn't have expected her to calm down whe

Chapter: Special Chapter 03 - Part 02Tila nabingi naman siya nang dahil sa sinabi ng Tita Amelia niya."P-Pero po..."Sunud-sunod ang naging pag-iling sa kaniya ng Tita Amelia niya."They did everything, but..." His Tita Amelia then choked on her owm tears. "My son...""I'm sorry, Tita. I'm sorry."Inalalayan niya ang Tita Amelia niyang umupo sa isa sa mga upuan sa lobby. Hindi pa rin nagsi-sink in sa kaniya ang mga nangyari.How? His bestfriend...he's gone. They were just talking on the phone this morning. Why does this have to happen?Agad na tinuyo ng Tita Amelia niya ang mga luha nito at tumayo."I need to be strong for my Rienne. She is the only one I have now."His Tita Amelia made her way towards where Adrienne is so he just followed her. Sakto namang lumabas ang attending physician ni Adrienne at sinalubong nila ito."H-How's my daughter, Dr. Romulo?""We successfully took out all the glasses which pierced on he

Chapter: Special Chapter 03 - Part 01"Babe, sunduin mo ako dito sa bahay, please? Mall tayo? May rainy day sale e. At saka kailangan ko nang bumili ng bagong sapatos, babe."Hindi maiwasang mapabuntong-hininga ni Andro pagkabasa sa text ng girlfriend niyang si Elise. He looked out the window and saw that it is still raining hard. Ayaw lumabas ni Andro ng bahay dahil delikado at madulas ang daan.But what can he do? Kung hindi niya pagbibigyan si Elise, siguradong mag-aaway na naman sila. He is already too stressed with his studies and arguing with his girlfriend will just add up to his worries. Kaya labag man sa kalooban niya, pagbibigyan niya na lang ito, kahit pa parang ginagawa na lang siya nitong ATM machine na puwedeng pag-withdraw-han ng pera anumang oras nitong gustuhin.He got up and wore his jacket. He made no move to wear fancy clothes because they are only heading to the mall and besides, it is raining really hard. Nang kukunin niya na ang susi sa desk niya ay may nahagip ang mata

Chapter: Special Chapter 02"Sumabay ka na kaya sa amin? Malapit nang mag-6 pm o. Ipapahatid ka muna namin sa inyo, Andro."Napatingin si Andro kay Adrian nang sabihin nito iyon. Tumingin din siya sa labas ng classroom nila at nakita niya ngang kahit hindi pa gabi ay madilim na ang langit. Currently, it is raining cats and dogs and ten minutes ago, their family driver informed him that their car's engine failed. Kaya raw baka ma-late na ito sa pagsundo sa kaniya.He looked at his wristwatch and saw that it is five to six. Bumuntong-hininga siya at isinukbit na ang bag niya."Okay. Sorry for the hassle, man. Malayo pa naman ang bahay namin sa inyo.""Not a problem at all. Tara na."Naglakad na sila papuntang gate ng school. Sobrang lakas pa rin talaga ng ulan. Bago niya makalimutan, tinawagan niya na muna ang driver nila at sinabi niya na lang na ihahatid na siya nina Adrian.When he got inside the car, he saw Adrienne who was busy with something on her phone.&nbs

Chapter: Special Chapter 01 - Part 02Hindi mahirap hanapin ang kuwartong iyon dahil iyon lang ang tanging pinto na kulay pink. Napangiti at napailing pa siya nang makitang may nakapaskil na 'keep out of Adrienne's room' na yari sa pinunit na pad paper at medyo magulo ang pagkakasulat.Bahagyang nakabukas ang pinto pero kumatok pa rin siya."Hello? Adrienne?"Walang sumagot kaya napagdesisyunan niya nang buksan ang pinto nang tuluyan para makapasok. He is welcomed by a really girly room. All the stuff in there were pink or purple in color. Talagang babaeng-babae.Nilibot niya ang paningin at sa isang sulok ay nakita niya ang isang batang babae. Nakatalikod ito kaya hindi niya makita ang mukha nito. Andro went near her and saw that she is playing with girly stuff like makeup, bags, and shoes. Laruan ang mga iyon."Hey, Adrienne. Pinatawag ka sa akin ng mommy mo. Kakain na raw tayo sa baba."She didn't even look at him and just continued playing with her toys. Sasabihin niya
