PS. THIS IS THE PART 2 OF THE STORY THE CHARACTER HERE IS DANNIE AND ANASTASIA'S DAUGHTER AND THEY'RE FRIENDS
"What happened to you? Why didn't you answer?" Eury asked again. I ignored her question. I'm just too lazy to talk, and I have no intention of letting her know that I was planning to cut my hair, which would result in another scolding from her, just like my mother. When I got tired of walking and couldn't bear the pain anymore, I called her, and she immediately rushed to the clinic. They applied some initial treatment to my back, right above my buttocks. I am currently lying face down when someone knocked on the door. Eury opened it, revealing Manong Tred. "Miss Adah, your father is asking for you. You need to go home," he said. I had no choice but to stand up and accompany him back home. I had no strength to escape from Manong Tred. "What happened to you? What did you do?" Eury continued to ask without me even entering the house. I didn't pay attention to her. I just went straight inside and climbed the stairs slowly. "Twinny!" I immediately looked down to where the voice was comi
While driving, I dialed her number. "My gassshhh! Adah, what time is it!!?" she shouted on the other end of the line."Eury!" I replied sadly. I heard her sigh on the other end. "Where are you?" she asked me gently.I headed to her condo. Our condos are next to each other, but I prefer to sleep in her condo. I pressed the doorbell; I knew her password, but I was too lazy to enter it. I preferred her opening the door for me to feel more welcome.What is she doing? It's taking her so long to open. I repeatedly pressed her doorbell until the door opposite my condo opened because the delivery boy had also rung the doorbell.I made eye contact with the guy who was only wrapped in a towel. I didn't show any expression on my face, but my gaze focused on the delivery boy.He was the guy I toured the school with earlier. I turned away from them."Bro! Come in. If I don't order pizza from you, you won't visit me after you return here," the towel-wrapped guy said, and the door suddenly opened."
"Eury, you've been taking forever! No matter what you do, your face won't change!" I shouted from the living room.I've been dressed and waiting for an hour already. Waiting is so boring, and she knows I hate being kept waiting. She should be thankful that we're friends, otherwise I would have left her already."Here I am, here I am. My head hurts because of all the drinking we did last night," she excused herself.I remembered last night again. Taniel was cute when he was drunk. I shook my head to clear my thoughts.Eury grinned at me and said, "Hey, he's cute last night, right?" as she fixed her sandals.I ignored her and walked out of her condo ahead of her."Hey, Adah, wait for me!" I heard her shout, but I had already left.As I closed the door, I saw Taniel just coming out of Jerwin's condo. He was already dressed in his uniform. It looks like he's waiting for Jerwin too.I bit my lower lip and couldn't look at him. I felt embarrassed about what I almost did to him last night. E
"Taniel, I'm fine. No need to stay here at the clinic," I told him.I'm currently at the clinic, sitting down while he leans against the wall, fiddling with his phone.He carried me here in a bridal-style hold. Is he always this caring?"Let's wait for them, I already called Jerwin," he said seriously, remaining in the same position."No need, let's go to our next class," I said and tried to stand up.I was about to walk away, but he stopped me and made me sit down again. I stood up once more, but he made me sit down again. I raised an eyebrow and looked at his serious face."One more time and I'll kiss you," he threatened.As if he could, he's so shy. I grinned at him and stood up, but...He stopped me again and made me lie down. He held one of my hands and quickly pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened as he grinned at me.He moved away from me, and I quickly regained my composure. When I looked at him, he was grinning at me again while leaning against the wall."I told you,
"Dad, where are we going?" I asked him.He excused me from my last class in the morning, and we were already on the road. I had no idea where we were going. I just got into his car.He smiled at me and pinched my cheek."We're having a family date," he said with a smile.I wanted to smile, but I held back because it was the first time I saw my dad smile so genuinely."Really?" I asked him with a smile."Yes, my baby," he happily replied as he drove."So where are we going, Dad?" I asked again."To the province," he replied with a smile.The province? It was my first time going there with my dad. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.I was about to say something but yawned, so my dad glanced at me."Go to sleep, baby. It's going to be a long journey. I'll wake you up when we arrive," he said."Okay, Dad," I said and kissed his cheek before adjusting my seat and closing my eyes."Baby, we're here," he said, and I felt him kiss my forehead.I slowly opened my eyes, and my dad's smili
I arrived directly at this garden and sat on a swing here. It was getting dark when I looked up at the sky.We can't really be together with Atarah in the same house because this is all I can offer her. I don't know, I guess I got used to being alone with Dada, so that's how I am with her whenever we're together.I closed my eyes as the breeze touched my body.I felt someone beside me."Adah, don't fight with Atarah please?" he said affectionately. It was the voice of a young boy.When I opened my eyes, there was no child around me. I saw Dada walking towards where I was."Can I sit?" he asked seriously, so I just nodded."What happened there, Adah?" he asked seriously.I looked down and played with my fingers."Adah!" he called out to me seriously.I gasped in surprise."Dada," I said fearfully."Tell me, did I raise you wrong? Why do you always make your sister cry whenever we're together!" Dada angrily exclaimed."She's the one who insists on lending me her clothes, but when I choo
I knocked on Eury's condo door continuously. The doorbell wasn't working, or maybe I broke it from pressing it too much.I also forgot the last number of her password, so I couldn't open her condo. Even though my condo was right next to hers, I preferred to sleep here at her place.I stopped knocking because I realized she might not be inside her condo. She might have gone out or hasn't come home yet.I sighed and took out my low-battery cellphone from my pocket, unable to call her. I sat on the doorstep and threw my phone in front of me, hoping for a miracle that it would turn on."Just when I need you, you're not here, Eury," I sadly said and lowered my head.I was startled when I saw two pairs of shoes in front of me. The person picked up my thrown cellphone and handed it to me. I followed the hand to the person's face and was stunned.I hesitated whether to take it or not because I still felt awkward after what happened earlier."Take your phone, it looks expensive, and you're jus
"Didn't you say before in the office where I first saw you that you are from the province?" I asked curiously.He nodded, "My mom took me to the province when there was a problem, and that was the last time I saw her. And until now, she still doesn't remember me," he sadly replied.I felt pity for him, and at the same time, I was also saddened. I don't know why."But it's better that she doesn't remember me and her past. She might not be able to forgive me if she finds out everything," he said sadly."Poor you," I replied softly.I couldn't say anything because I didn't know how to comfort him. I'm used to being the one who is comforted.When I finished my ice cream, I was surprised when his hand suddenly touched the side of my lips. I was taken aback by what he did."You're so messy eating ice cream," he said, laughing.I just scowled at him, but the truth is, I was feeling thrilled.We fell silent again."I thought you were in the province with your family? Eury mentioned it earlier
Ate let my straight hair down. She was busy fixing my eyelids and lightly applying blush on my cheeks."I'll put those earrings on, alright? It'll enhance your beauty," she said.I nodded slowly and didn't complain. I wasn't used to wearing jewelry on my body. I feel uncomfortable with those things. I don't know why.She smiled and then applied pink lipstick to my lips. I parted my mouth and closed my eyes."Finished. Stand up, lady. Let me see the result," she happily said.I grinned and gave her a confident aura. She winked and clapped."You look really beautiful," she exclaimed.I looked at the mirror to see myself. I wore a red sleeveless dress that suited my fair complexion. With a smile, I gently touched my face and couldn't believe what I saw. Only a few things were done by Ate, but why? It seemed like I became more beautiful."Yes, I am beautiful!" I exclaimed and winked.She handed me her black clutch bag."It matches your outfit," she said with a hint of joy.I accepted it.
I slowly got uncomfortable with his presence. "What brought you here?" I sheepishly asked. After he called me, I immediately said goodbye to Benjie and Lavly. Though they seemed puzzled, they allowed me to leave. Actually, Benjie even drove me back to Manila. I'm really thankful to them for trusting me, at least to some extent.He just shrugged off my question. I carefully placed my bag down and approached him. "Where's Pa?" I wryly asked. A tray with snacks was already set on the small, fragile table between us."I'm glad you're here! I just need your company tonight," he muttered. I rested my elbow on the armrest of the sofa and messily ran my fingers through my hair."You need me tonight? And then what am I supposed to do there?" I skeptically asked him. He was wearing tokong-shorts and a fitted white polo shirt, resembling a model from famous magazines."Be my date," he casually replied."Why me? I have a lot to do right now. You're insane," I said through gritted teeth.With his
"You're late." I almost swallowed all my saliva when he started speaking.He pretended to sit on the mahogany chair and it was obvious that he had just arrived. He was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with a necktie and black slacks. His physique was even more pronounced. He looked at me seriously from head to toe.I raised an eyebrow."Have a seat! Why are you late?" he coughed.I avoided looking at him and quietly sat on an empty chair.I glanced at him again and rolled my eyes. He silently read the menu placed on the table."What do you want?" He glanced at me. I stared intensely back at him. A smirk played on his lips."You disappeared for days! Just when I was about to take a break, you show up." I added irritably.He slightly loosened his necktie."I just wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten about you." His response was cold.I sighed."Can we stop? It's not really my fault, right? You're the one who claimed that I did something wrong to you, right?" I answered sharply.
The next morning when I opened my eyes, I immediately felt a headache. I sat on the edge of the bed and massaged my temples.I didn't know what time I fell asleep last night. When I woke up, I already felt the headache.I redirected my attention to something else to ease the pain a bit.Earlier, after we ate, Manang gave me a paracetamol. I took it and immediately drank it.Afterwards, I took a walk by the beach to at least sweat a little and alleviate the burden I was feeling.I found out from Shara that Xahel left early for Manila. She said he had a lot of paperwork to take care of and projects scheduled for this month until the fourth month.I couldn't understand why he left so suddenly. He only stayed for a day. Maybe he lost interest after seeing his ex!I also contemplated teaching him painting every weekend! I'm not really sure about it?But how can I back out now when I promised him that thing? He might get even angrier at me and make things more difficult for me."Zhanea, how
"What's your drama there? Why do you need filters and effects?" I said. The corner of my lips slightly lifted.His mind seemed like a video, so chaotic! The other day, he said he liked a girl who didn't like him back!We're walking along the shore now. He looks frustrated. His hair is messy, and his face is slightly scowling."She's pestering me!" he muttered.It's already eight in the evening, and the moonlight is our only source of illumination on the path we're taking."Huh? She's actually beautiful. As a sign of courtesy, couldn't you just talk to her?" I almost got nervous with what I said. I even emphasized it. It's like damn.He raised an eyebrow and gave me a stern look."What?" he asked, pretending to be innocent."Do you want me to repeat it?" I said.He sarcastically glanced at me."Shut up your mouth," he muttered.I raised an eyebrow and shrugged. When I got into his car, I glanced briefly at the girl. I saw her wiping her cheek.At that moment, I felt like slapping Xahel
I took a deep breath and raised my hand. It's getting a bit numb from the four hours of painting.I'm lying down on the hammock now, feeling the breeze brushing against my skin. Eventually, I lowered my hand from its raised position.I just wanted to enjoy my vacation and paint, but why did that guy have to come here? Hasn't he forgotten what I did to him? Huh? That was last week, for crying out loud. He has quite the memory.I closed my eyes, trying to let go of my worries caused by the cold wind. Well, also the view.I'm just really thinking about what Xahel said! Yeah, what's wrong with us having a meal together? But when we meet, all of that turns into a fight.It's also my problem, being clumsy like this. I don't want to add more problems with him, especially if it's about the woman he's with.It's hard to be jealous! I'm not used to having enemies. I may be talkative, but I don't know how to catfight. That would be embarrassing for me.Especially since I'll be a teacher. What wi
"In the next morning? I had a long sleep. No sound of cars and no neighbors shouting!The only things you can hear and feel are the cool breeze and the sound of waves on the shore.I held my head. It doesn't hurt anymore, unlike last night. Maybe it was just a migraine.I got up from my bed and walked towards the window. I pushed the curtain aside and partially opened the two windows.The blue ocean greeted me. The sun was beautifully positioned above, and a few fishermen were sailing in the distance.I smiled peacefully and took a gentle breath. It's such a really good start to the day. I rested my elbows on the windowsill and let the wind play with my loose hair.A wide smile appeared on my face as I glanced below. But before I could close my mouth, I couldn't help but be surprised.Under the shade of a coconut tree was a handsome young man. He was looking seriously at the accompanying woman. Every movement of his jaw and lips was like a hair-raising melody.I closed my mouth and sl
If that is how fast the world rotates? The journey of the day was also easy.I've been back and forth in the Echavez family mansion! I'm just grateful and Xahel didn't mess with me.I learned from Shara that one week she was on vacation with friends!Is that how he really is? No goodbye to me and if I go home? Don't know the right day and month! The world just revolves around itself.I also found out that he used to be Xahel's friend! But when they had each other's lambs he stayed away.I would have asked her about it? But don't. I don't want to care. Atleast I'm not kidding Xahel! So my brain is peaceful and there is no variety of thought events today. I wish he had been there for a long time and he would never remember my fault with her! That's okay!I turned around and followed the couple. We are here today at the rest house they bought in the lagoon. The wind is fresh because it is the beautiful sea! There is no vehicle in. No to poll! Yes to Fresh. Kidding.Thanks and they though
"I'm Xahel Royce Echavez. And you are?" He said while lifting the edge of the lip."Zhanea!" My answer is heartbreaking.He was even more sorry."You're suffering from a rare disorder!" I scolded and shook her."Really? Then prove it, Baby!" She was waking up.I want to rock her with this paint brush I hold! Then we could encounter each other. He pulled me over and never finished eating. My jaw dropped before I could speak he immediately suspected me. Its still tight in my arm."Go ahead!" I will invite him.We are here today in front of their infinity pool! After he hugged me earlier he brought me here.He sat in the non-cement chair and then whistled."Paint of me, baby. Paint!" He was a scout.She convinced me to paint for her! According to me I pay for everything I did wrong to her! Whack what!"Don't try to run away from me again!" He said after I took my left foot.I nodded at him. His strength to be able to concentrate ha? Proud that he is, what?She was weak in front of me.I
