Secretive"Relle, don’t get mad at Aziel even if he's very short-tempered," Lissy comforted me as I huddled here in the back of my cousin's car. If I only knew that this was going to happen, I would have just gone with mommy earlier."Didn't Aziel mention anything to you, Lis? I don't see any other reasons why he's so mad at Alton," I replied. I hate why everyone has to go this far. I want to know why my cousin didn't want him in the first place."I think he's mad at Alton because of you, Relle. You're crying back then because of him right?” she explained, which made my face look even worse.Whatever happens between me and Alton, he's out of it. I don't want him to fight or have an issue because of me.Besides, I know what I a

Interconnected"I'm glad you listened to the song earlier," Vaughn said who was now down the stage and sitting in front of me now. My lips are still a bit parted because I can't hide the amazement I felt right now.Who wouldn't?His voice is very spellbinding. I can't deny the fact that until the last verse of the song, my attention was all on him. I don't want to cut the stares between us simply because I don't want to miss the feeling of watching him sing those beautiful melodies.I do not know why. Even myself, I am also unable to understand."That song earlier, what's the title?" I asked after sipping the pomegranate juice we ordered earlier.

PeaceAunt Mirae and I just finished talking about the plan for Aziel's birthday. After she left, I heard the sound of a thunder—A sign that it will probably rain.I did not agree with her to drive me home. I told her that I still need to go to minimart to have a grocery. She told me that she really wants to cancel her appointments right now so she can be with me the whole day only if it's not something important.I understand her.Besides, I do really appreciate her effort to make time for her son's upcoming birthday despite her busy schedule.After I finished grocery shopping, I immediately hired a taxi to get back to the apartment if it hadn't been for the heavy rain. I waited for al

PatienceYesterday, Dr. Alvi returned Callie to me. I also told him that we need to talk because I wasn't able to understand what he told me during the phone call. Maybe it was just a kind of misunderstanding."Just forget about me," he clarified.I couldn't speak anymore and just let him go. That night, I was really thinking what the hell happened before I passed out. I don't think he would have treated me like this if nothing had happened.I admit that the excitement inside me every time that I go home has faded. I feel like something is missing in our apartment because he was not there. I can't help but to cry because of what he did to me. I relied on him even though he often chang

InconsistentI wandered my eyes around the moment I became conscious. The first thing that I saw was the unfamiliar white ceiling. There is typical furniture like a bedside table, chair and a small painting hanging in the cream wall. There is also a window facing to the hall and one facing outside. It was late for me to realize that I'm here in the hospital."Nurse, call the doctor! My daughter is awake," I heard mom's voice as she came in my direction. Her pair of worried eyes was really visible.Out of too much curiosity, I asked."What's going on?"I tried to force myself to remember what happened.

DrownedI can't freakin' believe that he's asking me for a date. Last night, he just texted me. I didn't bother myself to reply because I'm still annoyed and at the same time, surprised. I also couldn't sleep well so I woke up at ten in the morning. When I came out of the room, I saw him in the kitchen feeding Callie."Good morning," he greeted me but I didn't reciprocate it.Instead of talking to him, I went to the table to eat my breakfast. There was a pancake and oatmeal there."About last night, I just want to apologize," he said, reminding me of everything that happened.I was then hit by a lot of realizations regarding what kind of world

Goodbye"What do you think is the worst part of living?" I remember myself asking this similar question to my cousin. My head ached a bit that's why I used his arms so I can have an alternative pillow.He never complained, as if he can't do anything to stop me."What's with the sudden question?" his brows furrowed. I took a heavy sigh before glancing at the group of twinkling stars that almost dominates the sky. I am not fond of astrological things but the view was a breath taking panorama, I must say."I just want to know what's the point of living when all of us will die anyway?" I mumbled. Nagulat naman ako nang higitan niya ang braso niya kung saan nakapatong ang ulo ko. Bumangon siya mula sa pagkakaupo pagkatapos."Why are you asking such nonsense questions, Amor?" he madly replied. Magkasalubong ang kilay nito na halatang kakainin ako sa galit."I just want to know since we live in a world where ev

SignAfter the stressful final exam, nag aya si Daddy na pumunta kami sa hometown nina Indra, sa Siargao. We will be spending our weekend there together with Alton's family.

He told me that he won't make it today but he assured that he will be on Aziel's graduation. I am still happy for him despite the pain that he suffered because of me. He will always be a special friend for me not because we're connected in the past but because that's what I really felt for him.He was always there whenever Estrella is eaten by her own thoughts before and he also did the same thing for me as Vaughn. I have no idea about the fate's plan ahead for us but I do really wish for his genuine happiness k

Dress"Take care, sweetheart. Enjoy your date," my mommy whispered before giving me a peck in the cheeks. Dad did the same thing too.Before Alton left the house, they had a little talk again. I wasn't able to hear it because they told me that particular conversation was only exclusive for him only. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw nilang marinig o malaman ko.I watched Alton while he's playing with the car keys in his hand after talking with my parents. My brows automatically furrowed after seeing him grinning."What's the reason behind that?" pambungad na tanong ko dahil hindi ko maiwasang lamunin ng kuryosidad tungkol sa topic na pinag usapan nila.Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto para makapasok at pagkatapos ay umikot siya para makaupo naman sa driver's seat. When he's already holding the steering wheel, tsaka lamang siya sumagot."What do you mean?" he asked before starting the engine of his car."May sinabi b

LessonsIsang nakakabinging sigaw mula sa pamilyar na boses ang nakapagpatayo kay Estrella mula sa ilang minutong pagkakahimlay. Pagkatapos n'on nakarinig rin siya ng tunog ng karwahe na mistulang papalapit sa kanilang direksyon. Mabilis na umalis ang dalaga mula sa kanyang silid at doon niya nasaksihan ang tatlong lalaking nakapangmilitar na uniporme habang sapilitang dinadakip ang kanyang kapatid."Izan!" umiiyak nitong sigaw habang pilit silang inaawat. Napaupo ang dalaga sa sahig nang itulak ito ng isang lalaki. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin niya maiwasang maguluhan kung bakit nila ito ginagawa sa kanila.Anong kasalanan ng kapatid niya?Iyon ang tanong na pilit na tumatakbo sa kanyang isipan.

Hide"Sweetheart, I miss you. I'm so glad you invited your friend here," my mom exclaimed as she went closer to my direction to hug and kiss me."I miss you too, mom." I greeted. Beside me was Thamara. Kanina pa s'yang bumubulong sa akin na nahihiya siya dahil hindi niya inakalang iimbitahin ko siya ngayon."Hi tita," she shyly greeted na halatang naninibago. She did the same thing. It was the first time that I brought her here though, she already saw my mom a long a time ago."What about Vaughn? Hindi ba siya sumabay sa inyo?" umiling ako bilang sagot sa tanong niya. He told me earlier that he still had somewhere to go with Alton. Kanina naman ay tumawag sa akin si daddy kasi ngayon raw niya kukuhanin yung gift niya for mom. We will be having a simple dinner like we used to do every year. My mom was not fond of big surprises or any wealthy celebrations. She told us before that she only wants our c
