ZAPHYRA YUANNE ANDREJEZ
I found myself lying here in a hospital bed. I smiled upon seeing him, sleeping beside me while he's sitting on a chair, peaceful handsome face.
He looks tired and exhausted, was it because he was here taking care of me?
I am startled when he moved his head and faced me with a faint, tired smile. "Hey. . .you're awake?" Really? Why do some people ask the obvious?
"Ay hindi. Tulog ako e," I said and playfully rolled my eyes and sarcastically smiled at him.
I saw him smiled in the corner of my sight, "Magaling ka na," it wasn't a question but, a clear statement and that made me crease my forehead. "How are you sure about that?" and he. . .l
Walking on the mall, people are stunned by her gorgeous presence. She rarely goes to malls alone, and it feels like her first time. On the other hand, Pyros is just a meter away from her. Watching and following her, well, more like stalking. "Why the hell am I doing this?" he hissed at himself. He's looking like an idiot by following such beauty that he could just ask to meet. As she stopped and went inside an Italian restaurant, he can't help but smile. It's still her favourite. Across was a Japanese restaurant, and he was so genuinely happy when he remembered the first time he ate at Japanese cuisine with Alexis. He felt his smile getting larger. But he turned into a confused look, Why am I thinking of Alexis?he t
A week... had passed. She stayed the longest in Batanes for about three more days before deciding to go home. While driving, she felt pale and drained. She felt like an empty can, or maybe someone who can't control showing the feelings that they don't know why they feel it. She didn't plan her road trip to run away, she took the chance to maybe-just maybe, relax herself and try to be calmer that she will soon regain her past. But, no. She is wrong. She's been gone for days, drove for long hours. But nothing changed, she still feels hopeless. She feels empty as before. Hitting the break for about one block away from their gate. She reached for her mirror and looked at herself, "I thought I felt empty," she muttered trying to smile,
As she parked her car and got off the car, a muscular silhouette of a man emerged in front of her. She swallowed hard when she realized who that is. "You collapsed the other day, tapos ngayon nag-drive ka pa. Paano kung mabinat ka? Wala ka'ng kasama, paano kung nahimatay ka ulit—" "Pero wala naman nangyari..." she reasoned out, the man clicked his tongue, "Don't give that reason, baka makalimutan ko that you're in your twenties already," agad siyang tinalikuran nito. There was a part of her that's scared of that aura her father showed her. Zach Luis Andrejez, her father, is supportive of things that would benefit the whole family and for each of them individually. "On the study room, youngest!" she was taken back when it hissed. S
Hours passed, just roaming around the mall. Whenever the girls go inside a store or boutique, he would stomp his feet first before leading himself in. Aside from being the fund of the two, he's the bodyguard and even the one who carries all the items that the two got. "Please tell me that we're going to eat," Pyros tiredly asked as Alexis stopped at her track. Even Zaph is clueless why, "Why did we stop?" she asked her, following Alexis's sight she stilled with a slight pain in her heart. "Alexis, let's not make a scene," Pyros said when he realized and saw what the two girls saw. They heard Alexis sigh, a sigh of relief then crept into a smile, "Let's go? The Trio is back, and that's enough for me," what she said was the truth, but she didn't say it all...
They got two rooms, originally one is for the couple and one is for Zaphyra. But since Pyros is still not there, Alexis abandoned the other room and occupied Zaphyra's. "Are you ready?" it's around nine in the evening when they arrived at the airport, probably they were on the road for at least an hour. Zaphyra turned to Alexis and nodded forcibly smiling, "Do we need to wear this?" even Zaphyra has her fashion line, she doesn't dress up with short dresses, a tube top dress to be exact. The dress has a classy wavy effect on the lowest end and its color is mustard with highlights of white and a small design in the middle torso, a daisy. "You look so stunning Zaph! You should wear a dress like this!" Zaphyra shook her head no, "Clothes like this? No!" she said, but honestly she looks
Zaphyra just can't sleep, not only because of the news but due to her new "roommate". Pyros insisted that Alexis and he should share a room since they are the couple, while Zitron and Zaph insisted that they shouldn't be in one room. In the end, both of them lost to the couple. "Urgh..." she said, rolling her eyes and covering her face with a pillow. It's the thoughts and it's Zitron's loud snores, there seems to be no end. Irritated, she went out in the middle of the night and sat near the beach, feeling the wind brush to her sensitive skin. How cold the air turned when earlier it was hot. Thinking of the news that Syrae gave, she's having second thoughts. Should she listen and conclude that Sirius is the father or not? "What a l
As the night deepens and another night with Zitron in the same room, it is again another time to go out from his noises. Brushing her feet in the sands she saw Pyros out in the moonlight, now she knows why she fell for him years ago, Pyros had an innocent face of an angel... well it's more of a metaphor for such a handsome face. "Hey..." she took a seat beside him, staring at the calm water of the Caribbean. "Hey, why are you out here?" asked her, lifting up his gaze upon her face. She shakes her head, "Zitron's noise would be the shortest explanation," she let out a small laugh and turned to him. "How about you?" "Uh, you kno
He drove her home but never said a word, she felt that he's tense and didn't ask. Until the last close of her door, he only watched her and she didn't even say goodbye. With that, she opened her laptop and messaged Zitron through Skype. Rie... Why? What's the deal betweenClein and Elios? Why'd you ask? He pulled me earlierwhen Elios and I arestill in the meeting and...he didn't talk even untilwe f

I FORGOT On the same day that Zaphyra woke up, she was also discharged, and because no injuries could be seen in her, she didn't need intensive care at the hospital as Yoh wanted. "My head hurts a bit-" "I told you, you should've stayed in the hospital..." She completely understood her brother's concern but it was not what she thought of, not that she is not giving herself importance but the hospital had many patients other than her that needed a room. "Kuya Yoh, I'm not the only patient in the hospital, besides I have something that is treatable but not deadly..." She glanced back at the window as she missed sitting in the passenger seat of Sirius's car. Their small talks mattered to her because it meant a lot fo
PATIENT of the hospital. WAITER inthe restaurant. SIRIUS CLEIN LEVISTRE I was up in a tree, reading a book that I already had read many times. And because of boredom, I snapped it close and was about to jump down when I saw this schoolgirl sitting right under where I sit on top of this tree. She had a headset plugged in her ears which made it hard for me, I cursed under my breath before I finally shouted at her, "Get out there or I'll squash you!" Immediately and flustered, she looks up at me, talking of the accessory on her, her eyes even widened in shock.She's beautiful.And that was the first time I met her. I only jumped and walked aw
A bit like her Mother Since last night, she isn't bothered to sleep nor rest as she keeps on thinking about what Elios said, about his fear of the mother that she adored despite Arqienna's flaws as a mother to her children. Zaphyra loves her mother because she understood the incomplete and unhappy childhood of her mother, yet she's still trying her best to grow her family much better than hers. "We will start torturing you until you beg to just die..." she was stopped by the sudden thud as the door opens before her and Elios once again with his stylish grey suit and his dishevelled hair that showed how he looked great even in the early morning. He indeed grew up rich and elegant for a man who lost his family at a very young age. And it is only simple why he chose to
Abducted "So... you're back at work again!" After a week of being with Sirius in the city of love, she's back in New York while Sirius travelled to another country for a meeting. She couldn't contain her smile as Jean eyed her with so much curiosity. Slowly putting her bag on her table, she heard Jean whimper with a teasing smile. She contained her giggles, not until Jean's eyes widened as she tucked her hair into her right ear. "Holy-" Jean screamed in so many butterflies that she felt in her stomach for Zaph. "You're engaged?!" "Uh... I guess?" Her forehead turned puckered and Jean jumped to hug her tight, "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I can't take this all in, I'm so happy for the both of you!"
Confessions "I want to thank everyone who came and attended my show and premiere tonight. I hope you enjoy the rest of the night with the designs that we, Zaphire, are launching in this harmonious event for us," Zaphyra entered the stage with her speech and smiled upon seeing how much many came out of the invitations that they sent out. "...It's a long preparation that we needed to have in order to aspire and hope for a new trend and find what we really need to fashionable these days... And I sayyes..." While looking straight at his eyes, that's what she said. Smiling and happily walking down the stage, she grinned when she walked through the crowd and greeted guests until she found herself standing in front of him. "Congratulations... you deserve thi
"Are you both hungry?" Farkle just emerged from their back and that took Zaphyra's attention to him as well as the others. Kyla ran to him, "Daddy!" Then Zaphyra stood up and faced Sirius again with a smile. Syrae felt a bit awkward and tense between them so she decided to break the silence, "Taken?" Zaphyra was stunned by her question and nervously chuckles, "No-Actually, yes." And smiles quirky and that made Syrae widen her eyes. Zaphyra signed Syrae something with her eyebrows and Syrae quickly got that. Smiling, Zaphyra looked at Syrae's belly which grew bigger. "Ninang ako ha?" and bid goodbye to them and went back to Kyla and Farkle to join them. "What the-" Syrae immediately covered Sirius's mouth before he says anything an
She hailed a cab for her too, the last eyes she saw were Adrian's eyes. All she can see is love, genuine love. She felt pity now, for Adrian instead of her brother. She saw it through Patricia's eyes. If she's not going to choose between Zio or Adrian, she's going to choose herself... always herself and it's because she's self-centered. When she heads back to her condo, she noticed that the two apartments on her floor are open and have things just outside the door. What made her heart melt and feel relaxed is the little girl. "Daddy! Look, I'm big and I can carry this!" the kid shouted while carrying her basket full of toys. You can see in its face how heavy those are. She chuckled and went to the kid, she lifted the basket up off
