Merliah’s Point of view.

----------------

I went back home first before meeting Arvin. I need to settle things with my parents. We are currently at the table, and the silence is so deafening. Only the cutting of the cutlery on the plate prevails.

"I don't want that engagement," I said as I tried to open a conversation.

Daddy dropped the knife by force, and he didn't even finish slicing the bread. He simply retaliated against me with a sharp look.

“Listen here, young lady. We planned this even before you were born. We are ensuring a better future for you. Whether you accept it or not, you have no

    ------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------I wonder why the dean had not messaged or rang my phone until the end of the semester break. Should I be worried? Don’t tell me he ghosted me? Our first official one-month together is only a few days from now, he is not ghosting me, right?I punched my pillow, now that I'm back in the dorm he didn't even meet me. Earlier I rang the doorbell in his unit, it's a good thing Mory didn't notice me. Speaking of Maurice I haven't seen him with Lore lately. Anyway, I'm busy thinking about the dean. Also, it's their personal life, I'm not a usual gossip neighbor.Suddenly my phone rang, I thought it was the dean, it was j

  • Bewitched   When did things go wrong?

    ------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------"Morning, Liah." Lore patted my back, my bestfriend's look exhausted, I could even see dark circles below her eyes. I heard she went on vacation to Siargao. I thought she's having fun there since she doesn't want to be disturbed, but why does she look like a living dead?“I’ve been calling you all vacation. I haven't heard your hi or hello. I didn't receive anything, I was seriously being ignored. Are you really my friend?" says I but it's nothing serious. It's our way of catching up.“Sorry, I’m just not in the mood. I just want to be alone. Are you worried? ”

  • Bewitched   What’s wrong with him?

    ------------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------“Liah, we need to talk.”Why do I feel nervous right now?His eyes are telling me that something is off, I don't know if it's just me overthinking or we are really in a silent war? If so, what could be the reason? I may have jumped to a conclusion, but sometimes our inner thoughts are correct.I glanced at Lore as she stood up, and before leaving me alone with the dean, she whispered, "Go, follow your man and fix your problem first. You don’t need to worry about my predicament.”

  • Bewitched   It's what's best for us.

    ----------------Maximillan’s Point of view.--------------------I wanted to stop her from leaving my office earlier after saying those mean words, *Liah, let’s get things between us over. Please leave my office now, our succeeding conversation should be for academic purposes only.*I just flinched my hand. I don't want to be selfish and make Liah’s life even more complicated. She wouldn’t have a hard time hiding our relationship if I ended it right away before our feelings deepened. It is better to wake up before everything becomes a nightmare, it will hurt both of us, but we will heal at the right time.She didn't say anything, I expected her to think I was

  • Bewitched   I no longer hate Juvilan.

    -----------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------He has been ignoring me for two days. He doesn't even call me to the office often, he works alone. I just sighed and looked at the person next to me who looked dead… maybe her heart had died. I want to fix my twin's problem but I can't dive in because even if you're a family member or even if you're close to someone, there are things you can't meddle with unless they themselves come and ask for your help. Sometimes it gets worse when there is an outsider in the relationship who is trying to be curious.“Good morning class.”We all looked at the door when a baritone voice greeted us. I looked at our pr

  • Bewitched   I still like you but…

    -----------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------His presence taught me how to be strong, but his absence made me stronger. I’ll just go back to being a hardworking student, it’s better to be busy all the time so I can’t think of Dean. Indeed, years are not the measure for you to love someone completely, it's only been almost half a year since I met the dean but my longing is about a decade. There is a part of me that I wish I could have told him that I no longer simply like him but I love him but there was no point to let him know, nothing would change because he didn't want to be close to me anymore.I don't want to go to school because today is the day. As soon as I entered I saw some Elysian's staff

  • Bewitched   No sign of jealousy at all.

    -----------------Merliah’s Point of view.----------------Soft bed and the smell of flower-scented air freshener was the first thing I noticed as I slowly opened my eyes. In my blurred vision, I saw Arvin's worried face."Liah, are you alright?" he said while checking if I had a fracture. He also touched my forehead to see if I was hot or not. What has the fever got to do with my fall? This friend of mine is crazy.“Sort off? Don't overreact, I'm still alive and I don't have a fracture.” I didn't break my bone, I only had scars on my elbows and knees, I'll just have a laser, so I don't get scars. I will also wait for the bruise to disappear. My mom will scold me ag

I meant to wear a long dress to hide my bruises.Arriving at the venue, I kissed mommy and daddy on their cheek, the same goes with aunt and uncle. My family and Arvin's family were at the same table.At the other table was Lore's. I thought Lore wouldn't be attending because she was absent from class earlier, but it doesn't seem like the fever was the reason for her absence.We stepped onto the small stage in the Elysian family’s

I fell on the bed. Thus, the floor caught my back.“Brother, we are leaving. Please open the passcode,” Maurice said on the other side of our bedroom door.Good thing that they are leaving… so… I wonder if we can continue despite our ruined moment.I watched her leave as she approached the door until she closed the bedroom door. I deliberately showed that I was sulking or I wasn't in the mood. I frowned when I heard the bedroom door open. I kept quiet and waited for her to notice me or lie down on the bed to rest."Instead of frowning, how about you take the Durex out of the drawer?"

Maurice asked lore. He noticed his wife was laughing while holding her phone.“Ah, I talked to my former classmate in a specialized course at Oxford. This acquaintance of mine is talking about the one who liked me last year. He's still broken.”"So?" Maurice asked with a frown, and his eyebrow furrowed.“That guy who liked me back then has a friend who was also broken-hearted because of Liah”"Who are you referring to?" I asked innocently. I don't remember anyone trying to woo me during my stay in Oxford.“Remember that guy who a

    —--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------Watching a movie with Max without the fear of getting caught by my fellow students nor his fellow faculty is so rewarding. We never tried dating in a cinema or public place during university days back then. I didn't know it was worth the shot.We had used to just binge watch in his dormitory when he was my professor and our college dean. We have to avoid seeing familiar faces and getting entangled with gossip.I leaned my head on the shoulder of my betrothed while his right arm rested on my shoulder. We are not fond of romantic movies, so the genre we chose is mixed with action; since we both have the same taste in movies.

I never lose my gaze at the motion of the cloud from here in the hotel garden."What are you doing here? Are you upset because you had to move your wedding to next year instead of getting married this year?”I turned around and smiled at mommy. We are never close, but I am not mad with my parents. We're just not close since they are always busy. Even though Maurice inherited daddy's company, we still didn't have the chance to bond with our parents, they never reached out, and the same goes for us. We only me

My heart was pounding as I listened to the sound of a large clock hanging on the wall.“This is it, liah. Today you will become Mrs. Dereux,” I whispered.Later I heard the door open. I turned around and saw a man holding the door, and I wondered why he wasn’t walking closer to me. He just stared at me from head to toe.I was nervous seeing his reaction, he was not the epitome of the happy man who's about to get married to the love of his life.“W-What’s wro
