Perlm Marie Olavin"Are you following me?"I narrowed my eyes at him and scanned him from head to toe. His lips parted. I knew it! I think this guy likes me! Three times. This is the third time I have met him. Maybe it's not destiny. He's the one who planned it. He wants something from me. He did not answer and continued walking. I, on the other hand, opened my mouth but closed it again.Snob!He just kept walking down the building. He's wearing a green polo shirt and the bottom is white pants. God... It looks like we are a couple.But how did he know I was wearing this? He is so updated! I drool at the build of his body; it's so good. I can see his muscles from the back.But then... Remember Perlm, if this man likes me or is interested in me, you can't like him. His name is Andy! He went straight out of the building. He had just walked out of the subdivision.My forehead furrowed. Why is he like this? He's not even talking to me. Tch. Cold man!"Hey, A-andy! Wait for me! " I sho

Perlm Marie OlavinInstead of leaving, I actually watched how happy they were with each other."Rachell... I want you to know that I love you—You are the one I will marry and I will love for life. You are the woman who will bring up my future children. Only you."What the fuck?Big banners are in front of me now. I know the people holding the banners; those are Andy's friends who used to talk with me.'Will you be my girlfriend, Rachell?'That's what the banner says while Andy is holding a bouquet of flowers and Rachell is in tears.Damn.So is this it? He really fell for his best friend, huh?I thought they were... just friends."Yes! Andy, yes! I love you so much!" Rachell answered.I just closed my eyes to what I heard. I heard the screams of the students, and I was even more overwhelmed by their pleading. I'm just embarrassing myself in front of these lovebirds.I need to go out."Ouch!" My shoes with heels accidentally slipped.When I look at them, the two are looking at me."No.

Perlm Marie Olavin"Fourteen percent off?"I looked closely at the tarpaulin of a coffee shop. They also seem to have a discount. No wonder, it's February fourteen. That's why some shops here at the university have great discounts and sales. Well, I love coffee. Why not give it a go?Before I entered, I went through the first building to buy coffee. I expected not too many people because this coffee shop has been open for a long time and there are many modern coffee shops there. The originals remain the best. As soon as I entered, I went to the counter to place my order. I have to hurry because I might be late for my next class."One iced coffee with ten shots of espresso, please!" "One iced coffee with one shot of espresso."I looked at the man with whom I was speaking. We looked at each other. My eyebrows rose slightly when I saw his blank expression. It's like I'm just an air; he can't see me. Damn. Who hurt this man? "Ma'am, Sir, just one by one. You can sit there, Ma'am, bec

"Deon!" I shouted his name but he still didn't look at me.Fuck. What did he think? That it is not difficult for me? I’m also hurting! He always ignores and insults me but I don’t show it because I want to be firm and I don’t want to show him I love him because that’s not in the contract."Deon, let me explain—" I couldn't continue what I was about to say when he approached me and pointed at me."Shut up. I don't need your explanation," he answered coldly and closed the door on me.I was left here in front of our big house."Fuck, Deon! Let me in! That's your brother so how can I like him? Am I crazy?!"I still haven't received an answer. I knocked repeatedly but he wouldn't open it. My foot hurts because of these fucking heels."Deon, please! I'm begging you!"I stayed there for hours. I've done everything but he still won't let me in. When he is angry he does it and locks himself in the room, working out or drawing some houses.It was late at night when he let me in."Deon, I just w

Pagkatapos kong mawalan ng malay ng gabing iyon ay nadatnan ko na lamang ang sarili kong nakaratay sa hospital cot.The room is white, dull, clean, and silent.I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes. Walang tao. Ang akala ko bubungad saakin si Deon pagkagising ko... ngunit wala, kahit sila mommy at daddy ay wala. Have they found out the truth? What am I going to do if they find out? Will they be able to separate me from him? Hindi ko kaya... I love him to the point where I would give up everything just to be with him. In him, I see my future. I want us to have a big family and a great life together. I want to ... be his partner in life.Alam ko na ngayon. Noong una, iniisip ko kung bakit patay na patay ako kay Andy. Why can't I put him out of my mind? Why did it hurt so much when he broke up me and replaced me with his best friend? Maybe it's because I love him.'Yun ang akala ko. I thought I was in love with him, but I wasn't. I simply enjoy the concept of having a boyfriend.

Perlm Marie Olavin"Contractual marriage, huh?" nakangising sambit ni David. Bahagya akong napaatras. No, this isn't happening. Hindi nila... p'wedeng matuklasan ang totoo lalo na ngayong maayos na ang lahat. "Bakit, Perlm? Ano ba 'yung contractual marriage?" I couldn't respond since my gaze was locked on David, who didn't take his gaze away from me."Want to know what contractual marriage is, manang?" David asked, his gaze is still focused on me."David..." I warned him."Ang alam ko 'yung ikakasal kayo pero may kontrata. Tama ba ako?" Humalakhak si manang."Ah-uh, and why did they have a contract?" His lips curved even more. "Because they don't love each other. They marry for money or other reasons."Mas lalo akong napaatras. Pakiramdan ko'y bibigay ang katawan ko sa sobrang takot na aking nararamdaman. "What's more exciting is... sila Perlm at Deon ay kinasal ng may kontrata. Isn't that surprising, manang?" David added. "Stop!" I cried. Tumingin ako kay manang, gulat na gulat

"Miss Dorothy, uhm, here's mine." I give Miss Dorothy the papers.Nakangiti siya habang kinuha iyon saakin. Sinimulan niyang i-check ang mga papers na ginawa ko ng ilang oras. A lump formed in my throat as I watched her reaction. She appears to be dissatisfied with my work."You're... pretty fast.""Yes po, pero I did my best Miss Dorothy." "I see..." Muli siyang tumingin sa papel at napahilot sa sentido. "Well, you can have your lunch, Miss Fernandez. Wala na sila, ikaw na lang ang natitira. Join them," aniya at tinuro ang office palabas."I w-will. Thank you."Sinubukan ko ang lahat ng makakaya ko upang hindi bumuntong hininga sa harap niya. Pag-alis na pag-alis ko ay nagpakawala ako ng mabigat na buntong hininga at pumuntang muli sa cubicle ko. "What did I do? Mali ba ang computation at designs ko?" malungkot kong sabi sa sarili at napa-upo na lamang. She didn't say anything. Kahit sabihin niya lang sana na "not bad" or "you can do better next time", kaso wala... siguro hindi ak

Perlm Marie Olavin My first day. Pinagmasdan ko ang aking sarili mula ulo hanggang paa sa salamin. I can't believe that I'm a certified office worker. It's a good start for me. Paniguradong marami akong matututunan. You can do it, Perlm Marie. Tutal ay binigyan ako ni Deon ng mga tips sa pagiging assistant manager sa isang department kahit na hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang sinasabi niya dahil wala naman iyong kinalaman sa trabaho niya, sinunod ko na lang at tinatak sa isip ang mga dapat gawin. Pagkatapos kong ayusin ang mga gamit ko sa kuwarto ay kaagad na akong bumaba. Kita ko agad si Deon na nag-aabang sa living room. Mukhang malalim ang iniisip niya ngunit kaagad niyang napansin ang presensiya ko kahit na nasa hagdanan pa lamang ako. "How are you feeling?" tanong niya nang makalapit ako. He lightly tapped the sofa. I smiled as I sat down. He is staring at me while waiting for my response. Dahil sa ginagawa niyang iyon, mas lalo lang akong kinabahan. "Its not a big deal, Deo

Dapit hapon at araw na ng Biyernes. Diretso kusina si Deon nang makauwi kami, nagtanong kay manang kung ano ang ulam. Bago siya tumungo roon ay napansin kong nilapag niya ang phone niya sa mini table dito sa living room. Susundan ko sana siya sa kitchen ngunit biglang tumunog ang phone. Suddenly something entered my mind to pick up the phone and see what was inside Deon’s phone. There's nothing wrong with that, right?I move over to the small table and take his phone to examine it... I'm surprised it doesn't have a password. Mukhang wala naman siyang tinatago.Una kong pinuntahan ang messages, may message si Sir Andrei pero hindi ko 'yun pinansin, bagkus ay nagscroll-up ako upang tingnan ang past conversations niya sa ibang tao.'Private Investigator'Nagtaka ako roon. Ito 'yung investigator noon na nag-iimbestiga sa pagkamatay ni Meghan. Hindi pa rin ba siya tumitigil sa paghahanap kay Meghan?Nanginginig ang kamay kong pinindot iyon at binasa ang past conversations nila. Ngunit na

Perlm Marie Olavin"Nakauwi na rin tayo!" Nagmamadali kong nilapag ang mga bag at iba pang gamit sa sahig at umupo muna sa sofa upang magpahinga. Masusuka pa yata ako. Sobrang haba ng byahe pauwi!Prente akong umupo ng sofa at pumikit sandali upang langhapin ang amoy ng buong bahay. Nag-iba ang pang amoy ko sa van na iyon. Hindi ko type ang freshener ng sasakyan. Nang namulat ang mata ko ay kaagad dumapo ang tingin ko sa picture frame nilang dalawa ni Meghan. Walang pasabing umawang ang bibig ko at bumaling kay Deon na kinukuha ang mga gamit sa sahig. "H-hindi mo tatanggalin 'yun?" Pasimple kong nginuso ang litrato sa taas ng TV. He fastened his gaze on me. When he noticed the frame, he took a big swallow. My mouth fell open as he took it out of the wall right away."Saan mo dadalhin 'yan?" tanong ko. "I'm gonna throw it later," sabi niya at nilapag sa sahig. Ako naman ang napa-arko ang kilay. "Ako na, inaayos mo pa 'yang mga gamit, e." "Sure," he replied, not even looking at m
