"A ring?" I uttered in astonishment and disbelief as I examined the ring on the tissue. I took another tissue to wipe it again. I was about to wipe the ring but stopped when I noticed something written on the tissue. I read it in curiosity."Will…" I read. I took another tissue and something was written again."You..."I picked up another one but this time, I placed and laid it on the table so I could read it properly."Will you marry me, Angela?"I was stunned and shocked after I read those words. I stared at the ring that I was holding and looked at my siblings and Bel who was now smiling at me so dearly.I sighed and lazily stared at Bel."What is this, Bel? Is this a prank?" I asked in assumption and looked at them boringly."You are fooling me," I concluded. Bel and my siblings just laughed in their seats. Later, the waiter approached me.My siblings and even Bel started screaming and shouting in amazement and excitement. I looked around and realized that there was no one else in

"Big sister, come on! Hurry up! We are going to be late if we stay here for more minutes!" Kokoy shouted in a hurry outside my room. I quickly tidied myself and hurriedly reached for my bag then opened the door. I saw Kokoy fully dressed with his basketball jersey while Maymay was sitting on a wooden chair in the living room."Come on, kids. Let’s go," I said. They approached my direction and we left the house together.As I locked the door, I saw Bel waiting for a vehicle that we could take a ride. Moments later, a bus stopped in front of us and we immediately stepped inside. Kokoy and Maymay were very excited to go to school. They both went to the same school.Bel and Maymay ended up sitting on the right side of the bus while Kokoy and I were on the left.After I paid the fare fee, I caught a glimpse of Kokoy who now had a smile on his face but you could see he is undeniably nervous as well.I just tapped his shoulder twice to give him courage. The two of us looked at each other and

"You're staring blankly in the air again. Back to earth, Angela."I got back to my senses when Bel suddenly appeared right behind me. I laughed and smiled at her."You are missing hi—Ouch! What is that for, Angela?!" she stopped from what she was going to say when I slapped her on her right arm. She immediately touched her arm that I hit and glared at me."I'm staring blankly then you showed up just to piss me off? You're a very supportive friend, Bel," I uttered sarcastically then chuckled.She sat down next to me on the wooden chair here in the backyard of the house."Well, it's true. Truth hurts, right?" she countered while gently caressing her arm.I smiled sadly and looked up at the sky. Every time a plane passes by on the horizon, I always get out of the house just to look at it. Not because I just want to see a plane, but because I think that maybe, on a plane I looked up in the sky, Clark is one of the passengers.Bel seemed to notice the changes in my mood. She sighed heavily.

While I was inside the car, tears continued to fall from my eyes. Every sob was painful. Mrs. Clarkson who was now sitting next to me inside the car glanced in my direction. I heard her sigh because of my behavior."Do not worry. You can forget him soon...""You made the right decision, Angela. Don't cry too much. The sacrifice you made for Clark is for his sake and good condition. You just made the right decision. Maybe Clark will be angry with you first but you know my son. In the long run, he will understand why you chose to free him instead of keeping him with you," she comforted me which made me cry even more.Thinking that Clark would be separated from me, my heart was crushed by the extreme pain.Hopefully, what Clark's mother said will come true. I hope it crossed Clark's mind that my decision is for his best.I glanced outside the window. Buildings and spacious roads turned into narrow streets and close-knit wooden houses after a half-hour of a long ride. I could say we are no

I hurriedly got off the bus when it stopped near where Clark lived.I walked quickly under the sun. When I was in front of Clark's mansion, I took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.Just a few seconds later, the huge white gate opened in front of me. There, it appeared an old woman who I assumed was their housemaid."What do you need, ma'am?" she asked politely while looking at my face.I blinked a couple of times and cleared my throat before answering her."I-Is Mrs. Clarkson there?" I asked the maid anxiously and swallowed hard.The person I was looking for is not an ordinary woman in this society. She was well known for being rich and having businesses across the globe. That woman was Clark's mother who was extremely wealthy.My knees were shaking out of fear and nervousness. Nervous due to the idea that Clark and his mother got into trouble because of me. Getting nervous because I know Clark's mom already knew that I was a prostitute.What kind of face am I going to show to

"Clark..." I whispered as the tupperware fell to the ground. I walked a little bit closer just to make sure that the man who was mixing the cement was Clark."Clark! Hurry up!" the man who I think is the foreman shouted to him.My tears rolled onto my cheeks after I heard what the foreman said. I slowly took a step backward and then ran away. I looked for a bus and went inside. After paying the fair fee, I looked outside the window. My tears started to flow. I wiped it away but it seems it was like a river that never stops falling.Why did he lie to me? In one month? And what is he doing there? Did his mom know already about me? Did his mom know that I am a prostitute? Don't tell me he suffered like that because of me?I broke into tears as I stared outside the window. When I was finally in our village, I got out of the bus and walked straight inside our house. I went to my room and sat on the bed. I slowly hugged my knees as I was thinking about what happened during my one month of me

Verna's POVHere I am. Walking alone. I don't have a cellphone to contact Miggy. I don't have any money left because we had to share it earlier for our group project. I thought Alexander and I would go home together.I was crossing down the road when suddenly rain."Unlucky me..." I whispered to myself. I ran and looked for shelter. I only see a shelter for about a long distance. I had no choice. I kept running until I was sheltered in there.Maybe I'll before I walk again after the rain.I looked up in the sky and witnessed how dark the sky was. Add the heavyweight of the pouring rain.Pip!!! Pip!!!"What the fudge?!!!" I exclaimed in shock then quickly grabbed my chest. As if I was going to have a heart attack.I looked at the driver of the car who's the culprit on why I felt this way.I was all ready to throw many words but stopped when the car window get down. I saw Miggy's smiling face."Hop in," he said and smiled. He even got

Today is Monday, starting of the school day. My Mommy enrolled Verna in the fields of culinary. Verna shared she went to college before but she only finished one semester and she has not been able to continue schooling due to financial problems. So, my Mommy went to the idea to ask her if she wanted to continue studying and she answered yes. That's the reason why we will study at the same university.Till now, I still remember her face when Mommy ask that question to her. It was priceless. You can see in her face the desire to finish school.I am now driving going to school. I have noticed that Verna had been restless and got tense in her seat."Hey." I could no longer bear to ignore her."Could you stop acting like that? It distracts me while driving." I added. She didn't say a word or even answer my question which annoyed me. I irritatingly look at her face.But after a second, I breathe deeply into what I've seen. She's nervous.I don't k

After the wedding, Mommy and I went home to Manila. Not only me, my mother and my cousins, also include Verna, Manang Leti, Tatay Mario as well as ten male siblings are coming with us.Mommy took them on vacation in our home which made me gasped in irritation. I thought I would be able to breathe lightly and move freely when I got home in Manila but...what a stroke of bad luck.Time passes by quickly. They were staying here at home for almost a month now. Mommy was so happy and always entertained by the family. She said it is refreshing to see another person in our house.She's genuinely happy to see again her boy best friend. She was even more pleased with the thought that his best friend's daughter was got married to me. Like what the hell?Now, it's time to say goodbye to Verna's family. They are now going back to the province. Tatay Mario can't let his farm be unattended and no one would take care of it if he wasn't there. My mother gave them an aerop

This is the day, the day that I will lose my freedom. Shit!I walk back and forth to the room I am occupying. I've already dressed in a tuxedo for the wedding. I kept biting my fist and couldn't help but look at the clock.Damn! Why do I have this feeling that I will be hanged on to sentence death?I do not want to! I don't want to!I quickly grabbed my bag hanging behind the door and grabbed a few pieces of clothes, shorts and underwear. After I packed all the things I need temporarily, I was about to leave the room but the door suddenly opened. My cousin appeared in front of the door."Oh? What's wrong with you?" he asked in surprise when he saw that I was tense then, he shifted his gaze at the bag hanging over my shoulder. I tightened my grip on the strap of my bag.The two of us stared at each other."Don't do anything stupid, Alexander," Miggy warned and slowly close the door."C'mon man! C'mon! In the first place, I reall

The next morning."Cousin, can you go with Verna for a walk at the river?" asking a favour of Miggy who is now chopping wood here in the yard.I looked at him in disbelief."Me?" I fantastically asked while pointing at myself.Miggy stopped chopping the wood and wiped his sweat with the clothes he had taken off. I winced at what I saw.This man is gross."The brothers are in the rice field right now. They helping Tatay Mario on the farm," he explained and sat down on a wooden chair. I sat next to him."And so?""Come with her." he sparingly answered without even looking at me.I thought for a moment about his favour then suddenly, I smiled widely. Maybe, there's no one else in the river, right?"Okay." I agreed while there's a devilish smile on my face.My cousin looked at me critically. To my surprise, he glared at me."Don't do anything stupid. That's Manang Leti only daughter."

Mom is here in the province. She was waiting for us in town to pick her up. We immediately ride in the three-wheel vehicle tricycle to go to her place.When we got in there, we get out of the tricycle then pay the fair fee to the driver. My mother saw us quickly. She runs in our direction and hugs me tightly."My honey!" She exclaimed and then after a second, let go of the hug."How are you here, son? Why you cannot go home yet?" She asked worryingly and look at my cousin."Let's talk about it Mommy in Manang Leti's house," I replied weakly and got inside her car."Okay, honey," Mommy replied and look again at my cousin. Seems she's asking my cousin what's happening by using her stare. Miggy just silently shrugged his shoulders.After half an hour, we're already here at Manang Leti's house. My cousin carries the baggage of my mother then we entered inside. We saw Tatay Mario in the living room silently sitting on the wooden chair."Ma
