The Volleyball Championship Game is nearly coming and their team was one of the two teams who will participate in the game. It's the last match their team will have and also the last battle of the year. Their opponent team was the champion last year and they were aiming to win and beat them. Their practice has been very frequent and constant. Weekend practices were also expected in preparation for the upcoming match because the team is very dedicated to winning the championship game. This will be her first championship game and she was indeed very excited. Although she did try to focus and do her best in every practice, Trishia and Phyllis seemed very dedicated to pissing her off too. There are times that they hit or strike her during practices. Knowing them, she knew those were intentional but she keep on trying to calm herself and focus on the practice instead to avoid trouble. There was also one time Phyllis accidentally spilled a juice on her shirt when they en

On the way home until they reached the house, her father's silence was very strange and alarming. To her surprise, he did not commented or scolded her but it hurts her more when he chose not to talk about it when she tried to explain that she don't own those drugs. He doesn't believe her, that's what she felt. She just went inside sulking and about to cry. She headed the way towards her favorite place in the pool area to breathe some air and calm herself but unfortunately, she found Leanna there soaking her feet in the pool while having a call on her phone. The bitch was even giggling and that frustrates her more. She bet Phyllis and Tricia are now reporting what happened to her. To avoid Leanna, her feet brought her towards the garden and seated on the hammock instead. And there, she wept and freed her hatred and resentment towards life. Funny because she had a bad memory of the near spot in this garden and thinking about it made her cry even more.
Leaving home is not an easy decision. Choosing this path doesn't mean she doesn't love her Dad and Allyssa no more or they aren't enough reason for her to stay with them. This is hard for her but she has to do this to save herself. She just came to a part of her life where she feels her existence is worthless and she no longer has the will to live. This feeling is not healthy and she has to admit she had thought of suicide many times but the only reason that stops her from doing it is the fear of God and her respect and love for her Mom. She saw how her Mom fought for her life to live and here she was physically healthy but wanted to end her life. She knew her Mom will be the first one to get disappointed if she do that and for her to survive, she needs to be away from the people who keep on causing her pain."I know in myself that I'm not suicidal but If
The home of the Tamayos was not that big and spacious. It might be plain and simple but the warm acceptance she received from them was very heart touching. She shared a room with Jimena and the latter seemed very excited at first when she found out she will have a roommate. Jimena is a very sweet and gleeful person the reason they easily get along with each other and became friends in a short period of time.Days passed and she somehow found peace and happiness in Santa Lucia. She never thought she will enjoy living in the province. The Tamayos are generous and joyful family. It feels like she found a real family in their home than her true family instead. Aunt Eleanor was working as a head nurse in the public hospital in the town. She was a fifty-five-year-old widow and very respected in her profession in Santa Lucia. Her husband died
Just a week after she called her Dad, he was able to track her down immediately and went to Santa Lucia. He was so mad when he came to the Tamayo's residence together with his hired investigator. Aunt Eleanor politely invited them into the house and they talked like what adults should do. The old woman tried to talk to her Dad with a calm disposition and explain in a civilized manner how she came to Santa Lucia but her father cut her words like he doesn't wanna listen. Did she make the wrong action by calling him? She suddenly got scared to what if he take her home with him?"I do appreciate your generosity for accepting my daughter to your home Mrs. Tamayo but I couldn't see any sense why you never contacted me about this? You don't know how I got worried and scared about my daughter's welfare! I can see that you were a parent too so I was sure you know exactly how it feels like being worried about your child!" Her Dad madly fired.
As soon as her father agreed in her stay in Santa Lucia, they talked more about the school she will enroll and her father keenly asked a lot of questions about the safety and quality of education they provide in the said school. The old woman attentively answered all her father's inquiries and promised to inform him if something went wrong. He had also said he will send her monthly allowances to sustain her education and will have someone to watch over her. At last, she can now stay and study in Santa Lucia. Before her Dad left and decided to went home, he apologized and gratefully gave his thanks to Aunt Eleanor. Finally, he acknowledges and appreciates the goodness of the good woman. After all, she owes this peace and new inspiration to the good woman so her father must really thank her.Days went by very smoothly and things happened according to her plans. Just like what she was supposed to do, she enrolled in Santa Lucia University and continue
"What type of guy do you get attracted to, Gav?" Jimena suddenly asked her while they were walking down the road.It was after school and they usually commute on their way home. They just arrived at the bus and decided to walk instead of riding a tricycle since it was just about five pm and the house is just a few blocks away. They only ride a tricycle if it's getting late or dark already to save money for fares or an additional budget for future school project fees.She is actually willing to pay every day since she has too much allowance but Jimena was a very thrifty and resourceful person and always declined it most of the time. Jimena would rather walk to save money than ride a tricycle and that has been their daily setup for three consecutive years now so she gets used to these routines. Being a third-year student of Business Administration, she has maintained good grades over the years. Jimena was in her third year of Nursing too and she
"Why did you suddenly fetch me from school? Got out early from work?" She asked trying to make a conversation."Yeah." He replied shortly."Wait, are you frustrated because you have a date today and I spoiled it?" Inigo then said as if teasing and annoying her."Of course not!" She replied."Do you have a boyfriend?" Inigo casually asked then nonchalantly bite onhis sandwich."None so far. Please don't make fun of me but to tell you honestly, I've never been in a relationship before." She told him feeling so awkward. She was expecting Inigo will make fun or tease her more but to her surprise, he never laugh."Okay, you can start laughing now." She told him."Seriously? With that looks? I mean, you are beyond the word beautiful, Gav. How come no one attempted to hit on you? I guess boys in the Capital are blind."
At last, the moment she had been waiting for finally arrived. Her diligence and hard work for years finally yielded. It's her graduation day and her Dad together with Allyssa personally traveled to Santa Lucia to attend her graduationceremony. Her friend Kaycee video called and congratulated her. She explained that she cannot afford to attend her graduation ceremony and travel to Santa Lucia since it was the affluence of her internship. Kaycee is a Mass Communication graduate and was offered an internship at one of the biggest and most competitive television networks in the country. Her friend promised to compensate and treat her next timeanyway so she completely understand. The love and support of her friend to her is more than enough. Heaven knows that the amount of happiness she feels at that very moment cannot be measured since her Dad and Alyssa together with the Tamayo family is there to celebrate with her too. They just don't know how it means so much
She woke up with a throbbing head and a sore body. A surge of panic and confusion coursed through her when she realized she was naked beneath her blanket as a familiar built of man lay beside her in the bed. She tried blinking her eyes trying to remember what happened last night. "Shit!" she muttered when she finally recognized who the man is. It was no other than Cedric Miguel! Trying so badly to recall everything and how they ended up in her hotel room, her memory couldn't seem to cooperate she couldn't remember anything for a moment. Her head was throbbing because of hangover and was confused, she didn't know what to do. Feeling suspicious and baffled, she gasped when flashes of memories started to joy in her mind. Shit! She couldn't believe herself on how she acted last night. She had assumed it was just a dream, but the sight of Cedric Miguel now lying naked and sleeping before her confirmed its reality. Anger surged in her chest, she wanted to blame and confront him. She
The kiss lasted for like an eternity as if time itself had paused. She felt him cupped her face as he gently rested his forehead against hers. In fear of shattering this dream, she dared not open her eyes, wanting to remain lost in this blissful reverie. "It's you that I love and this feeling I feel for you is more deep and stronger than I had with any other women. If this is not love then tell me what it is? It's you, you understand? Only you..." she heard him utter. Why does it feel so good to hear his words of confession? This is one of her greatest dreams before. Hear him confess passionately and say how much he loves her. If only this is real and not a dream and if only things would be easier for them. Tears started to stream down her face realizing how pathetic she could be desperately dreaming about this happening. "Liar," she whispered in disbelief. She tried to push him away but she won't let her go."Damn it! Why is it so hard for you to believe me? I'm not even sure if
She can hear the voice and continuous pat of Grace and Corey on her shoulder trying to wake her up. Her lashes were too heavy to respond. She was too drunk and sleepy she didn't think she could even manage to walk or even stand up. Her body was too heavy and she was so dizzy it made her wanna puke. They can go ahead and leave for all she cares. She can manage herself anyway. "Come on girl, we're leaving. Wake up..." Grace tried to pull her hand to stand up but she didn't move so Corey helped him out "hmm...." she groaned irritatingly as jerked her hands away from the two. She slouched on the couch instead then closed her eyes to continue her sleep. She could hear their voice talking but she was too drunk to understand them until she felt she was slowly engulfed by sleep again. In her dream, she felt suddenly being lifted and carried by someone. The man has a strong and muscled arms. It feels like he was safe and protected just by being in his arms. His chest was firm and comforting
Feeling frustrated, she jerked her eyes away from the window glass of the plane and took a deep sigh. Cedric Miguel has a three-day business trip in the South and as his temporary Secretary, she has no choice but to accompany him. They were with the marketing Department Team to perform a project presentation hoping they would win the client's approval of their proposal. It's been days had passed since the incident she caught him making out with a woman in his office. That night, she left the place and ran away regretting she dared to enter his office. If she wasn't stupid enough to feed her curiosity and enter his office, she shouldn't have seen them in an awkward and embarrassing position.The next days were usual. He was still cold and bossy and gave her a hard time with paperwork most of the time. There were times she will notice him staring at her like he was wondering what she was thinking but most of the time he was a pain in the ass.
After their last argument, Cedrick Miguel started avoiding her. Just like he promised, he stopped sending her anything, and every time their paths crossed in the office, he acted like she didn't exist. He became cold and formal after that. There was a time he castigated her in front of the employees when she made a little mistake on the report she was asked to do by the Executives during a conference meeting. She felt offended and a bit embarrassed but she accepted it. It's the first time he did that to her but what can she do, he was the boss and it's a normal thing to get reprimanded by bosses when you made a mistake. There were times she thought he was doing it on purpose, that he wanted to get even for rejecting him. Well if this was his way to retaliate her rejection then she wanted to get disappointed. She had been hurt and rejected by him a lot of times but she never thought of getting revenge on him. She chose to avoid and move on instead and she still wished him nothing but h
"Hey!" Her attention was caught by Cedrick Miguel whom she never notice standing in front of her office door frame. She suddenly wonder if she was that too busy and preoccupied to not notice he came in. And how long has he been standing there? "Hi..." Giving him a questioning look, she wonder what he was doing in her office until her eyes went down to the food he was bringing in his hands. "Just in case you didn't notice, it was already lunchtime. Don't tell me you don't have plans to eat?" He stated smiling. "Oh..." Only words she could reply as her eyes automatically went down to her wristwatch to check the time. He was right then, it was already twelve noon. "Guess you're too busy to not notice it was lunch already." "Yeah, I did some administrative tasks and wrote some reports for the executives and It kept me busy. I never noticed the time." "I brought some lunch." He saw him walk forward and put the paper bag he was bringing on the coffee table. "Y-You shouldn't have both
When the ceremony begins, bridesmaids walked down the aisle along with their corresponding groomsmen as the music started to play. It was the wedding of their Executive Director Mr. Cocuangco with their Office Manager Suby Walker. The ceremony was held in a wide flower garden a few hours' drive from the city and as agreed, Lyssa ride with her going through the venue. She must say a garden wedding is a good and romantic kind of wedding. In fact, it was one of the most preferable and dream weddings nowadays. But if she will be the one to get married, she prefers a wedding on the beach at dawn- that's her dream wedding. Why dawn has been so precious to her? Probably because it has been a constant reminder to her to never give up and keep always fighting. If she will get a chance to get married in the future, she will definitely choose a beach wedding at dawn because she would love to begin a new chapter of her life just like how the sun begins to rise enlightening the dark horizons giv
"Care for a coffee inside?" She asked Inigo after dropping her at her apartment."No, I know you were tired." He replied with an endearing look in his eyes.She thought for a moment and checked the time on her wristwatch. It was already nine in the evening and she remember he has an early flight tomorrow."What time is your flight going back to Santa Lucia tomorrow?" She asked."Six in the morning.""I can accompany you to the airport tomorrow." That way they will have some time for each other before they separate."You have a job tomorrow, you might be late. ""I can have a half day." She suggested."No, it's okay. Besides, you'll be the one to visit next weekend right?""Yes, I miss Santa Lucia and Calor Del Cielo.""Good. Mom and Jimena are missing you too." She smile at the thought of the two women. She misses them both."Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you to the airport?" She asked trying to assure him."I don't want to see you ushering me to the airport. I might be t
"You were so good at playing golf, Sir. I'm looking forward to learning from you." Inigo complimented her Dad. The latter seemed pleased so he just laughed at the compliment from Inigo. No wonder her boyfriend was really trying to win the heart of her father. She couldn't help to smile at the thought.Inigo travels from Santa Lucia to the Capital to indulge her father's request to play golf with him this weekend. She accompanied the two men by watching and cheering for the two. This is like a date with her father and her boyfriend at once. She wanted Inigo to get to know her father so she art this date for them. Inigo seems to be enjoying and interested in learning the rules and etiquette of playing golf and her father seems to enjoy as well in teaching her boyfriend. Well, golf is a very rewarding game for many and it doesn’t get better than spending a sunny day with friends and family out on the course. It's also a good form of exercis
