2024-10-29 19:42:56“What are we going to do now?” I asked as I lay down on the ground while facing the sky.
“We should wait for nightfall before going out from this place,” Zygo answered and then lay beside me. Alchy was left standing in front of us, staring at the sky.
“I wonder what time is it?” I mumbled to myself.
“It’s around four in the afternoon,” Alchy muttered. I thought I just asked myself about those words, but he even heard it.
I stared at Alchy. I did not anticipate spending a lot of time with this black-tag soldier. As I let out a deep sigh, I turned my body to the right, forgetting about Zygo’s existence that we almost bumped into each other’s heads. He just lay still while staring at me.
“Careful,” he said and then grinned. Without hesitation, I stood up. “Where are you going?

“Oh My God! Where have you been, GD?!” Tara hissed and immediately ran towards me. I almost lost my breath when she gave me a tight embrace. “I was worried to death!” she added after breaking off the hug.“You’re worried. You nearly murdered me with the snugness of your hug. It was too tight as if we hadn’t seen each other for a decade.” I wryly said to her. Tara stared and me and was about to hug me again, but I immediately withdrew from her hands.I looked ahead when I heard footsteps; Clark and Chris were walking in our direction. Both of them were wearing black hoodies, which is why I can no longer differentiate them from each other.“How was your vacation?” Chris typically asked as if I had disappeared to roam around. My left brow raised.“Oh, thank you so much, Chris! I’m fine.” I said with stiff upp

“G-Grandpa...” I mumbled. It took a second before my grandfather broke off the hug. “How are you?” he asked again and then stared at me. I glance at my mother, and she’s waiting for me to give her father a response. “I’m doing good.” I almost stuttered for the first word, but I managed. “How about you?” I added when my grandfather’s eyes were asking for more. His wrinkled lips suddenly formed a smile, and it gave me chills. I shuddered quickly when he was about to reach for my cheeks. “I see. I’m also great.” my grandfather said as he withdrew his hands from touching me. The smile disappeared from his face, but I quickly averted my gaze and looked at my mother. “If you don’t want to talk to me, I won’t force you,” he said as he tilted for me to pass. “I’ll just go to my room, mother.” after my mother nodded, I immediately took my steps out from their s

“This man was your fiancee.” my grandfather’s words struck me right to my head. I looked at him with knitted brows as he stared with unperturbed eyes.“What are you talking about?” my voice was shaking, but I tried to compose myself. I caught a glimpse of the man who was walking toward my grandfather’s side.“This is Robert, your fiancee.” the old man said, leaving my question unrefuted. I was about to speak when the man next to my grandfather suddenly handed me the flower he was holding, making my left brow raise.I stared at the flowers. It was my favorite kind and color.“It’s been a long time. What a pleasure to meet you again. Just like before, you’re still wearing your lovely silver hair and with a magnificent look.” the guy named Robert said.“Pardon? Do we know each other?&rdqu

“Sweetheart...” I quickly looked at my mother, who had just entered the room. I was sitting at my writing desk while facing the laptop. Even though I hid my personality as a thief, I managed our mini bookstore, which is what my father left in Tranquil.Other than being a soldier, my late father was also a bookseller. He opened the shop when I was still five and had it managed by someone. When he died, the name of the owner was transferred to me. I was his beneficiary.“Oh, hello, mom.” I greeted as I removed my eyewear.“Are you okay?” she asked with concern on her face when she reached me. I glanced at the monitor and looked at the time before turning if as I faced her.I let out a deep sigh. It’s been four hours after my grandfather disclosed about Robert, and the thought of it was making me frustrated.“I&

“Yes, he was telling the truth, grandpa. He was my lover.” I said. My grandfather’s brows knitted while staring at me.“W-What?” he asked. I let out a deep sigh.“Yes. I am dating this man, grandpa.” I glanced at Zygo, and he was smirking. I don’t know, but he enjoys this current situation. The look on his face is like achieving a distant dream.I brought my face on Robert, and his lips were in awe with a shock on his face. Probably, he did not expect the words came out of my mouth.“Is this your plan?” my mother whispered, which made me turn to her. I gave her a smile and mouthed, ‘yes.’“Is this the reason why you are eager to call off the engagement with Robert?” my grandfather asked, trying to find assurance.“Nope, this is just my second choi

It’s been four days since Zygo came into our home to help me sort things out with my grandfather, and yes, it was a success. The engagement was called off. Robert and my grandfather went back to Rome a day ago.I didn’t expect grandpa to bite with my plan and the thought that Zygo and I were dating.I don’t know why but honestly, I want to be with Robert. I want to restore our friendship, but as I think about what happened when I was in Rome, my chest aches.One more thing, even if he is still the person I knew before, Robert has changed a lot. He was a plump one then, a chubby nerd with the kindest heart. But now, it’s not just his physicality that has changed. It’s his whole being, and I feel like confronting a different person at that time.I let out a deep sigh. Also, after that day, I never heard about Zygo.“What are you think

I texted my mother that I would be home late before entering the car.“Let’s head to Laupe’s General Hospital,” I said to my driver, and he immediately started the engine. I leaned to the headboard and closed my eyes.I spent my morning at the orphanage, and it almost took my whole day. It’s already three in the afternoon, but yet, I feel relaxed. I can still hear the children giggles and their sweet yet pure smiles lingering inside my mind. They are kind and lovely.Being with them made my heart at me ease, maybe because my late father loves the orphanage and the children. Something that no one can change.I immediately opened my eyes when my cellphone rang. I stared at the phone beside me as it flashed Aki’s name on the screen and answered the call quickly.“Good afternoon, Miss. Everything is settled, and Miss Brown&r

“Hey, are you okay?” I woke up from daydreaming because of Clark’s voice. I brought my eyes to him and nodded. He was sitting on my left side.“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just thinking about something.” Clark’s brows knitted with a look of curiosity, but it disappeared after a second.“If there is any problem, just tell us,” he said as he took a bite of the burger on his hands. I gave him a stingy smile. It’s been two weeks since we last saw each other, and we are currently in the hideout right now.“Anyways, where is your twin?” I asked when Chris was not around. Clark just shrugged his head.“I don’t know. Since yesterday, I haven’t seen Chris, so I came here because I was so bored at home. I also didn’t expect that there’s someone in the hideout.”“So, C

A little girl ran in my direction and hugged my waist when she reached me. “I miss you!” she said while giggling.It was Tanya, Tara’s daughter.I let out a deep sigh and then removed the gloves. “What are you doing here, little one?” I asked as I lowered down my body to level her height. “Mimi is doing dirty work; wouldn’t you mind if you caught that dirt?” she immediately shrugged.“No! I hate dirty, but if I can’t hug you because of that, then I don’t mind getting myself a speck of dirt.” she hissed. How cute! She’s too young to know these kinds of things. I just laughed and then carried her in my arms as I stood.“Just kid

Thank you for asking.” Aki said, then smiled. I was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the door.“Breakfast is ready.” I heard Jay say behind the door. “Just come downstairs.” after he said those words, we heard footsteps walking away from our room.

“How have you been?” my mother asked Dielo while we were sitting in front of the table, having dinner. “You did not even think about visiting me,” she added, and I could feel the sadness in her voice. I don’t know, but I think they are close to each other in the past and even now.“I’m sorry for that, Andrea. I couldn’t go back to the City because of what happened six years ago. I need to recover from the bomb because I got traumatized when Galeo died in front of me. The explosion was too loud and made me lose my mind for a while.

Thinking about today excites me, so I tried my best to have a good rest so that I won’t be exhausted on the trip.” my mother sat on the sofa with a smile on her face. She’s been waiting for the day to start. I smiled at her because I feel the same way too.When Jay finished carrying the things to the car, my mother instructed the maids again.

I was currently packing my things because tomorrow is when we will travel out of the City. Alchy, Zygo, Jay, and Aki will also be with us. We plan to stay there for a week, and the place that we will be waiting for is already settled by my father’s former colleague.I can’t help being excited just by thinking that we will visit my father’s rest place; my heart is already hyperventilating. I let out a deep sigh and continued packing my things.“Maybe, this stuffs are enough for a week,” I mumbled to myself after a couple of minutes of packing my things. I let out a deep sigh and turned my gaze to the side when I heard an engine. Because of curiosity, I stood up from sitting on the bed and immediately took myself to the terrace.I quickly peeked outside and saw a black Lamborghini who had just parked in front of our house. I was confused for a couple of seconds, thinking who might

“Where have you been?” I immediately asked Zygo after getting ourselves to his hotel’s dining area. We are currently at his private part of the area, facing each other while separated with a rounded marble table.Zygo stared at me with a smile forming on his lips. By his reaction, I already knew what was on his mind at this instant. “Why? Did you miss me?” he asked with a grin on his face. I was right, and he never changed.I just raised my left brow. I was about to speak out the words that I used to do, but something was playing inside my mind. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with it since we are already friends.I flashed a smirk. “Am I not allowed to miss you?” I almost burst into laughter when I saw how his expression changed. I know that he has feelings for me, but honestly, I can’t pay it back to him on how he looked at me. “Is my words enough to f

It’s been three months since everything was at peace. It’s also been that long since I last saw Zygo. I don’t know where he is or what he is doing right now. We exchanged our contact numbers, but I did not get a message coming from him until now. The truth is, is he okay?I shrugged and let out a deep sigh as I stared in front of me. “What am I even doing here?” I mumbled to myself. I was currently standing in front of the ZF Hotel. The place where Zygo and I first met.I don’t know what’s going on with me, but I really want to see that person. Maybe, I got so close to them, and I couldn’t admit it to myself before. I let out another deep sigh and stared at the entrance of the hotel for a couple of seconds before I took myself inside.When I entered, there were no other people except those in the reception area. I walked quickly over there.

“Young Miss, the person you have been waiting for is already here.” one of the maids said. I turned my eyes on her and stopped from slicing the cake. “He was waiting in the living room.” the maid added. I nodded at her.“Sure. Thank you so much.” after I said those words, the maid left immediately. I finished slicing the cake and placed it on the plate. I let out a deep sigh and took myself out of the kitchen.I thought of giving this recorder yesterday to Alchy, but I remembered that he was not in the City. When I sent him a message, he immediately told me that he would be at Tranquil today.We exchanged contact information the last time. I didn’t know that I would open it to Alchy and Zygo since I thought the gang would be the last to enter my list of friends.
