Nasa sala si Haniel at nagkakape habang nakaharap sa kanyang laptop nang may magbukas ng pinto at iniluwan niyon si Shierra.“Hi, good morning, gising na ba si Nigel? Pinababantayan kasi sa akin ni Gayscent eh.” Tanong ni Shierra habang papasok sa loob.Biglang napatingin si Haniel sa babae, “Bakit? wala ba si Glayscent?” takang tanong nya, ang buong akala nya ay natutulog pa ito hanggang ngayon kaya naman hinihintay nya itong bumaba upang makapag-usap sila.Kumunot ang noo ni Shierra dahil sa narinig, “Hala sya? Magkasama kayo sa iisang bahay tapos hindi mo alam na maagang umalis si Glayscent para umorder ng mga pang live selling nya? May problema ba kayo?”Dahan-dahang bumalik ang tingin nya sa harap ng kanyang laptop at nag-scroll ng kung ano rito.Napangisi si Shierra na iiling-iling din, “Naku, may problema nga kayo. Ano na naman ang

Nasa byahe na pauwi sina Glayscent at Nigel nang bigla na lamang tumirik ang bus na sinasakyan nila. Sinubukan nya rin tawagan si Haniel upang ipaalam ang kanilang sitwasyon ngunit naubusan na ng baterya ang kanyang cellphone.Tumingin sya sa kanyang relo at nakitang pasado alas nuebe na ng gabi at halata na ang pagod sa mukha ng anak. Mabuti na lamang at nakakain na silang mag-ina kanina bago bumyahe pauwi kaya busog ito. Ganyun pa man ay bumili pa rin sya ng makakain nito para makasiguro.“Manong, matagal pa ba iyan? Anong oras na kami makakauwi nito?” tanong ng isang ginang na halata na ang pagkairita sa hitsura.“Ginagawa na po namin ang lahat ma’am, konting tiis lang po. Pasensya na po sa inyo. Biglaan ang nangyari eh, kinundisyon naman ito kanina,” sagot naman ng kunduktor ng bus habang abala pa rin sa pagtulong na maayos ang makina ng sasakyan.Pinakinggan na lama

His heavy breathing continues as his face slowly reaches Glayscent’s lips… until…He stumbles and falls from the couch, “Aray!” Napahawak sya sa kanyang pwetan nang tumama ito sa matigas na sahig.“Wait? Why Am I here? Am I dreaming? With… with Glayscent? Seriously?” sunod-sunod na tanong nya sa sarili makaraang matauhan at magising sa kanyang panaginip.He looked around, madilim pa ang paligid at tanging bukas na ilaw lamang sa labas ng kanilang bahay ang nagsisilbing liwanag kaya naman sa hinuha nya ay madaling araw pa lamang. Tumayo sya upang maglakad patungo sa kanyang kwarto.“You’re impossible, Haniel. Bakit mo naman napanaginipan si Glayscent? At ang matindi pa, you almost kiss her. Mabuti na lang at nagising ako, kung hindi baka kung ano pa ang nangyari.” Bigla s’yang nanginig sa naiisip. Kinilabutan ang buong katawan nya sa isipin

“You don’t know the mystery of love, bro. Sometimes, we fall in love with someone we didn’t expect to love. The more we resist, the more it will get deeper and deeper until you cannot handle feeling.” Nagbalik sa ala-ala nya ang mga sinabi ng kaibigan patungkol sa kanyang nararamdaman.“That’s bullshit!” Pinalis nya sa isipan ang naalala at muling itinutok ang atensyon sa trabaho.Kahit pa dalawang araw na ang nakararaan nang magkita sila ng kaibigan ay umuulit pa rin sa kanyang isipan ang sinabi nito kaya naman hindi nya magawang tapusin ang mga dokumentong kailangan n’yang i-approve dahil doon. Napagdesisyunan na rin n’yang iuwi ang ilan sa mga ito para sana mas mapadali sya, ngunit nagkamali sya rito.“Argh! I quit!” Ginulo nya ang buhok dahil hindi nya talaga magawang makapag-isip ng maayos dahil sa gumagambala sa kanya, kasunod ng pagsara nya sa kanya

“Sir, Haniel, here are the documents you need to approve by the end of this week po. I already compiled them according to what you instructed me yesterday,” ani ng secretary ni Haniel na si Abby ngunit parang walang naririnig si Haniel na nakatulala lamang sa kawalan habang nakangiti.Naka-ilang tawag ang kanyang secretary bago sya hinigit nito sa reyalidad. “Sir, Haniel?” iwinagayway nito ang isang kamay sa harap ng mukha ni Haniel at doon sya natauhan.“W-why?” tumikhim pa sya at umayos sa pagkakaupo sa kanyang swivel chair na itim.“Sir, are you daydreaming?” natawa ang kanyang secretary at nagtakip pa ng bibig gamit ang mga folder na hawak.“Ako? N-no… No I’m not. Psh!” mabilis na tanggi nya.“By the way, what are you doing here again?”&ldq

Halos isang pulgada na lamang ang layo ng kanilang mga labi sa isa’t-isa nang biglang dumating sina Nigel at Shierra.“Mama? Nand’yan ka po pala, akala ko umalis kayo ni papa Haniel?” malakas na naitulak ni Glayscent palayo si Haniel dahil sa gulat nang marinig nila ang boses ng bata.“Ugh!” Sa sobrang lakas ng pagkakatulak nya ay tumama ang likuran nito sa kanto ng kitchen table dahilan para mapaigik ito.Napatakip si Glayscent ng kanyang bibig dahil sa ‘di sinasadyang nagawa kay Haniel, “Ayos ka lang ba? Sorry,” usal nya habang pabulong na humingi ng tawad sa lalaki na tinanguan lamang ng huli.“Akala ko wala kayo rito kaya umuwi na kami para hintayin na lang kayo, ano’ng ginagawa n’yong dalawa ha? Nakaka-istorbo ba kami ni Nigel?” makahulugang tingin ang ipinukol ni Shierra kay Glayscent ka

Dart is keeping an eye on Bria, who is still sleeping after passing out a while ago. He was furious that he didn't get a chance to apprehend that scumbag, Theus after the coward fled with Bria unconscious in his arms.That moment resurfaced in his mind. He was about to pay Dash a visit in his hotel room. An accident occurred as he entered the elevator with only one floor remaining before reaching the right floor. The elevator abruptly stopped, so they called the operator and exited after a minute. He has no choice but to use the stairs, and as he was climbing, he heard a loud banging coming from the next floor. He ignored it and kept climbing.But then he heard another noise: a guy mumbling, followed by the voice of a woman. As he went closer to the sound, the voices became clearer. When he heard the woman's voice again, he abruptly came to a halt."Please, Theus. Don't..." said a helpless voice that he recognized. He knows where that voice is coming from and is

Dart tried to search for them, but Sabria was very good at hiding. He already tried all the means to find them, but he failed. Even Jane stopped hoping for them to come back, she lost her hope that one day Dash will remember all his memory that scattered. AFTER 5 YEARS Dash, together with Bria, went back to the Philippines. Dash got back to his career, which is car racing and he is going to compete in his hometown. “Do we really have to go back to the Philippines?” Bria tried to stop him because she was afraid that he might regain his memories if this continues. He cupped her face and caressed it. “I have to do this. If you want, you can wait for me here. I will go there by myself and will bring the trophy together with m

“What! You already permitted them to go to Canada for his therapy? Why did you let Bria go with him and not Jane? Mom, Jane is the girlfriend, you know that.” Dart exclaimed in despair. He didn’t know this was coming. He wasn’t aware of Bria’s plan to run away with Dash. Her mom told her about Dash and Bria’s plan to go to Canada for his therapy, and it makes him crazy as hell, thinking that they will end up being together again and Jane will be left behind without a fight. “How can I say no to them? T-to him, he doesn’t even remember Jane’s existence. Look, son, I don’t have a grudge or anything for Jane, I like her, but with your brother’s condition, I think this will be the best I could think of. If they are destined for each other, then, in the future, they will surely be together,” she explained as his mom patted his back and walked outside to his room, leaving him with nothing else to say.

“What the f*ck is wrong with you woman? I said I don’t want to eat! Are you deaf? Or trying to annoy me? Call Bria for me and I want her to be by my side and not you!” Bria heard the commotion inside the hospital room of Dash, once she reached the door of it. “Hey! Dash, what’s happening in here? Are you okay?” Bria runs towards them as soon as she enters the room. “Thank goodness, you’re already here babe. I’ve been trying to tell this woman that I need you here, but she was not listening to me. I said I don’t want to eat, but she keeps insisting. She’s very annoying!” His tight voice and expression are very vivid in his annoyed face. “I-I just wanted him to eat, for him to regain his strength. And I already told him that I called you but you are out of reach, and he suddenly got mad at me.” Her tears were already peeking in her eyes, making their way to her cheeks but she tried to resist it. “Dash, what’s wrong? Why are you getting an

Months later, but Dart didn’t get any chance to talk to Bria, she continues to avoid him in every way she can. One day, they bumped into each other at the elevator when they both wanted to pay a visit on Dash. Bria was inside the elevator and was about to close its door, but Dart instantly put his hand at the doorway, causing the door to open. They both looked at each other’s eyes before he entered until Bria, look away first. The room is filled with silence, they are the only ones inside.Dart got the courage to speak, he faces her, yet Bria was trying to avoid his gaze.“Let’s talk. We need to clear this misunderstanding between us, Save.” He declared, putting his index finger on his scarred eyebrow, then lowered it to his lips and gently touched it as he always did. It was his mannerism ever since he got that scar on his left eyebrow.“I don’t have anything to say, and I don’t have time for this. Dash needs me, and

Bria felt the tension all over her body as soon as Dart said those words, she doesn’t know why he knew about that. She has no clue. “You know what? I-I don’t know what you’re talking about, and also I don’t have to explain myself to you Dart, and most especially, it’s none of your Goddamn business!” She expressed her annoyed face at him to hide the nervousness she was feeling right now. “My twin brother, who is lying at that freaking bed for more than 2 months now, is involved on that f*cking plan what-so-ever, so technically it is my business, young lady.” Dart dipped his gaze to her intently and unwavering. He was trying to figure out what was on her mind, but he failed, although he knew something was upon her. Bria cleared her throat before she replied, “Fine, I-I will tell you.” she took a deep breath as she stood up and looked at him. Dart flustered, as he did not see it coming. Is she really going to tell what she did? He thought. “Come closer,”
