"I said don't spread your legs, Alforo." I glared at him.
A playful smile appeared on his lips. I rubbed the cotton on his chin forcefully, teasing him back.
"What, it hurts?" asik ko.
He chuckled a bit there. The look he gives me is confusing. I looked at him insultingly. His brows furrowed at my sight. I was immediately alarmed there.
"No," he smirk playfully.
I sneezed and averted my eyes from him.
"Intimidate? I thought you were going to treat me?" aniya.
My eyes widened as I focused on him. The image of Alforo watching me this close almost felt surreal. My heart pounded heavily for him eyeing me.
"What ?! I'm not intimidated by you," I stop mid-way.
"Your thickness, Alforo." where I am.
I raised an eyebrow sharply as his eyes lasted longer on me. His serious eyes somehow made me felt foreign, shivering for unknown reason. I do not know why and how. But when his gaze were on me, I felt something something fami
"What's wrong with it?" I gathered all my strength to utter it.I already finished my food. I lower my glasses to look at Mommy again. Instead of eyeing me she deflected my eyes. Like there's something wrong, like they both hiding something."And I can't contact, Manang if ever." I gently stated.I saw Mommy's lips part. Her eyes somehow flip to different emotion. Daddy squeezed his senses when he heard my suggestion. But of course he maintains his own composure."She'll also leave her. For a vacation, I'll already book her to Nasugbu." her voice were pure of authority.Daddy was silent as we watched the two of us. He didn't intend to drop an answer to my questions. He let Mommy answer. And it's really foreign for him acting this one."She won't stay here, My?" I stated.My reaction to Mommy was even more wrinkled. She seems unsure when she darted her gaze at me. He sighed for a moment and stared at Daddy."Yes, hija."I
"You want drinks?" he chuckled boyishly.I turned to him for a moment. Just finished practice in the cottillion, but he's here now. Even though I knew he was far from me.Demi whistled at me. I didn't mind her. I irritatedly turned my eyes to Alforo. He only eyed me like there's nothing wrong with his move after all."Will you buy me?" I said frankly.His brow shot up, and leer at me. I sneezed for a moment there."Yes, orange juice?" he asked.My eyes widened there, I did not expect him to predict what I wanted. Not that he didn't stare rendesvouz to know, but I didn't expecting it. I saw a smile grow on his lips. I replaced by expression and maintain a cold demeanor."Why?" I said strictly.The side of his rose at my tone. And I became even more irritated with him. Especially when I notice Demi's departure, and basing from her all she's giving us both privacy."No, I order it now." he winked at me.My forehead f
Tears rolled down my cheeks as his words inflict pain on me. I rubbed Daddy's eyes on me. Her eyes were red as she tried to smile. I wonder if it didn't happen. Is that still the case? But still. It happens for a reason. But I don't get why ..."I though you're still having a grudge against me." aniya.I felt pain when he uttered a word. Like he kept it by himself for a long time. I shook there."No, Daddy." I mumbled.My tears kept flowing there. Daddy was in tears to as I hugged him tight. I did not give up there. Like I wanted it badly. How I yearn for it a long time ago. And now I just finally made it.And what made my heart shattered is how they planned to surprise me back then. How Mommy feel sorry for me, and how they want to talk about how I feel all the time."Honey ..." I laugh there.My voice was hoarse as I sobbed."We're sorry hija.""I do not know ..." Daddy uttered.I went up there. Daddy's tears fl
though you're still having a grudge against me. "aniya.I felt pain when he uttered a word. Like he kept it by himself for a long time. I shook there."No, Daddy." I mumbled.My tears kept flowing there. Daddy was in tears to as I hugged him tight. I did not give up there. Like I wanted it badly. How I yearn for it a long time ago.

Daddy uttered.I went up there. Daddy's tears flowed."That you're suffering too much.""We are not there. I failed to hold the three of you." Daddy's voice cracked there."Then I just found out."His voice hoarse as he shut his eyes tightly. I smiled bitterly there. All the
"Where's, Demi?" Rondier questioned me.I turned to him, then I swayed my glanced at Alforo's wearing just a boxer shorts and a shirt. I inhaled there and avoided."Still tipsy, down." I uttered.I occupied one chair far from Alforo. I do not want to approach him. His gaze followed me but I averted my gaze to him."Fuck this hang-over!" I heard Demi laments.I kept turning to him. She still wearing her peignoir. He immediately joined me and looked at Alforo."You made me two?" she asked curiosly.I looked at him. I look at Alforo sipping on his cofee watching me. I deflected his gaze when my eyes stayed for too long."Yes.""Really?"I rolled my eyes to her. She strokes her hair as she mixes with Rondier friends. Sometimes I really notice. She's now really close with Rondier, and its foreign to see her that. I breathe for air as I lean on the chair."You're tolerance were very low, Demi." I bursted out.
I did not look at him, but a few stares did not escape me. This time, the urge of determination to repel his gaze sent chivers on me. There are always others, I can't figure out what. His jaw tightened when I finally caught his attention.Sometimes, I feel like those countless nightmares had a meaning. I shook slightly at the thought. Its too petty to be make a scene and fate with it, because I know it is very impossible. Maybe I was just preoccupied watching myself on that shoes. It was a pure sorrow, and every pain was finally subdued by the way of staring.I'm not sure if I'm okay with it, it's too late when I notice Alforo approaching me. I covered my lips and left. Unlike those girls, I buried myself for studying rather than roaming around, and if it weren't for Klaud I wouldn't have thought of going out.I was about to stand up when he jailed the right side. My smile was sour as I glared at him. Why instead of darting his gaze on me, he made himself busy w
I looked up at the peaceful plantation. The hot sun was shining for a moment. I stood up and for a moment felt the rush of air. It was a sign of peace. Serene that I almost felt allure for it."Cienne," his deep baritone voice echoed.My gaze rose there. His soulful eyes glancing at me felt surreal. Like it's too precious in my eyes and I can't just help but to watch him in awe staring at me.I settled there. My lips rose as I glance at him."Don't mind me here ..." I smiled.I turned to him and smiled. His eyes were on me as fix my gun. It was there that I finally realized the difference between him and Rahym. It was too evident. He's too serious unlike Rahym. He's too grumpy. The edge of my lip rose even higher."Then?""You can do what you wanted?" his voice hoarse.I shook at what he said. Though when I grinned teasingly his eyes narrowed at me."I'm a visitor here remember?" I smirk when I saw his brows furrowed.
I sighed as I eyed Marcus. I quickly deflected his gaze when his group is becoming near us. A smile plastered on his lips, while I tore my eyes off him.But what I can do if he's that too clever huh? Umismid ako roon at binalingan ang pinsan. Nginuso niya si Marcus habang hawak hawak ko ang libro."Lunch?" aniya.Saglit kong binalingan ang hawak hawak niyang styro, bago muling inangat ang titig sa pwesto ng aking pinsan. Humalukipkip ako at tuluyang tinanggap iyon. Bahagya ko pang nakita ang pasimple niyang ngiti, ng dumampi ang kamay ko sa kaniya."Uhm can I get your number…" he mumbled.I averted my gaze and turned to him fully. I smiled calmly as I eyed Reia. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako sa mga ngiti niya sa'kin. But still I don't want to hurt Marcus ego. So still, I nod as a response for him."Sure…"Ngumiti siya roon sa'kin. Though I can't help but noticed how expressive he is on his feeling. It's too visible tha
"You okay, Ria?" Demi looked concerned at me.I approached him. And I could feel the length of his eyes on me."I was watching you with, Klaud…" he said softly.The volume of the sound were still there. The only difference is the neon lights were change in color playing in each direction. I approached our table. The wine and liquor were there, I sighed there."What did he tell you?" aniya.I look at Demi straightly. His forehead furrowed sharply as I just stared at him. I bit my lip there. I eyed my phone, and it's dead."What?" she asked curiously."What time is it, Demi?" I chuckled.My chest felt like a drum with excitement. I sighed when I heard I left one hour more. I seem to have poured cold water over there."It's eleven, Ria." Demi uttered.I nodded there. I smiled as a few people came to our table. I even didn't think to entertain anyone. I couldn't even answer Demi's question. I gasp when I heard
I didn't know that staring at him this long may bring slight pain at me. Like everything felt nostalgic the way he looked at me. As usual. The memories had all back as I glanced at him again. I have a lot to say. But I can't uttered any a single word as I gasp when a memory of prom entered my mind.And, I saw how Klaud gaze were instills on me.I don't know how I endured his stare at me. His eyes were tainted with pain, and I can sense it the way he looked at me. I’m a little sad for that. It's really true that for one wrong move you can dent something. Whether it's tangible or not. I noticed how long his eyes were on me. Like he's reading something through me. I averted my gaze from him there.The melancholic music sent chills down my spine. The bitterness bit me even more when he spoke again. Like he's saving every second for me to finally divery my attention to him. I bit my lip as he turned sharply."Can you look at me, Ria." he whispered huskil
I could hear in the absence of hearing Rina's knocking. My eyes were still swollen from last night. I sighed as I adjusted myself."We're all waiting for you, Ria…""Including, Demi."My chest tightened. I thought they wouldn't care for me after all. My lips trembled when I saw what lay on the table. It is consist of invitation every year. It was as if someone had caressed my chest with those who saw it.My name with an intricate design made me shivers. My heart ache everytime I remember what Alforo said. They didn't forget me. Even if I leave, even for too long. My eyes swelled as I faced Rina. I let go of the invitation I was holding. I still didn't book a flight.I sighed as I turned to Rina. Her eyes were down at me as Elton behind him whispered something."Ria, breakfast…" he invited.I nodded there. I heard how Elton gasp when Alforo immediately on my sight. Her eyes widened as Rina stared at me heavily. Elton orde
I sighed there. I averted my eyes as I lowered the guitar. An image of him in dark felt surreal as I distance a bit at him."What are you doing here?""It's late, Alforo." my voice were cold.I saw how his jaw clench. I distance myself as I saw how his gaze were tainted with pain for my move."Why didn't you continue?" he retorted me.I turned him over there. My lips parted there. I averted my eyes for a moment to finally realize."I will listen, just like before."I was aroused there. I bit my lower lip when he crouched to fully leveled our gaze. My heart ache as his eyes were not foreign in my eyes."It's too long when I heard that raspy voice, Ria." his voice cracked as I look away.He caught my eye. And this time I barely noticed the difference on his stare at me. How sorrow filled there, like the usual I am seeing myself vividly a year ago. Her eyes were red as she stared at me."How are you?" his voice were
Everything went black when I heard his voice in my ears. The cold enveloped me there. The rush of memories waving appered in my mind as my heart ache.From the first day, I was avoiding him. Everything about him."Are you avoiding him?" Demi uttered.My forehead furrowed. "No."He raised an eyebrow at me. "Eh why don't you come along?""And Klaud wasn't there." he said carefully."I can't.""Just once?" he insisted."I'm reviewing, Demi." I mocked at him.He laughed at my sigh. I drifted my eyes at her. She step closer and giggled comfortably."Eh Alforo is Sir's substitute again" she exclaimed.All the heat rage on me. I was almost stunned to hear. I heard Demi laugh when she saw my reaction."It's only a matter of time."I don't want to go. I'll just read here."He blinked as I turned my attention back to what I was reading. Its been a week since I didn't face Alforo. I also didn&rsqu
I was sleep through all unrelenting thoughts. Alforo stared at me, as I watched him too long. My heart skipped a bit when I noticed how I'm still intimidated by him. It seems just like before. But the different is noticeable. I can't quite tell it in urgent but I know it changed a bit.I did not smile. I closed my eyes firmly before looking away. I was cold there. I was shivering by my own thought. And it didn't help that the news were on him. I didn't turn it off. I don't want to be bitter.My lips parted as I finally realized. My chest tightened as I let myself listen. But I can't take that long when I heard enough."He's a doctor…" I uttered weakly in awe.Cold crept within my system. Thousand of assumptions felt futile at what I heard. I was cold there. I bit my lip. Gradually, the bitterness of realizing overwhelmed me.I thought he wasn't serious for it the whole time. My lips were trembling as my breathe hitch heavily. My lips tremble
I didn't know what to say or what to uttered. I was too stunned as I watch him this close again. His pitch black eyes, alluring stare it was all surreal. It was as if I was hanging in the air when his eyes looked at me for a long time. And it inflict pain to me more when he's glancing at me like I'm fragile again. Like he used too."It's nice to see you…" I whispered."How are you?" I tried to sound cool but I know its more than that.His lips were parted as his eyes stayed at me. I can see the gaze of some on me. Their gaze were on us as I tried to supressed a smile."I'm good, Ria."He didn't smile as a response for me. His eyes were seriously focused on me. His eyes were glint of hope, shocked and mesmerize drowning in my system.My lips were trembling at the sight of him. Just like before, I feel like I'm getting burned. The stare he's giving me were like a glimpse of my sorrow. When I stare at him, all the memories gradually retu
I didn't know that coming this back would be so much painful. I sneezed as everyone turned around. The scenery changed here a lot. My chest tightened as I noticed a few changes as I descended. Rina offered me a stay in a hotel and I agreed with it too. Although I would love to go back to Villa Sierra. I'n not sure if our house were so haunted now. I don't want to think that it looks like that.The image of it lingers on my mind when I heard a taxi. At first I was stiffened at the thought of it. I'm not used to it. Like everything was so foreign for me the whole time."Where are we?"I bit my lip at the realization. I lowered my shades and saw how the driver gaze on me. I could see him stop before he finally smiled."Where are we, Ma'am?""Do you speak Tagalog?" he repeated.I nodded before finally sighing."Dito po…" I said as I showed the card.I saw his forehead frown there for a moment. But when he glance at me he sig
Ingrid Point of ViewI watch the familiar gate in awe. I chilled as the familiar chest pain erupted. I looked away, but still I tried to be compose all the time. I did not roll my eyes. Too wide, but I knew I could see him here. My heart races a bit.I smiled when someone greeted me. That’s always my response, I never tend to socialize with others. I don't socialize. I was just sitting alone and feel secluded, almost.Its been a weeks. And it was as if a dagger had stabbed me, while he was thinking. Why I'm feeling down? I do not know. After Jiusel confession, I'm still determined to push him no matter what. Not for the same reason, but for both of us."You're alone?"I almost jumped in panic. My eyes narrow for, Marcus. He grinned at me, obviously pleased because of the seen expression. I hated him because of that."No .." I smiled sheeply.His lips parted, Marcus. Probably he heard the tone on my voice. Its sarcasm. I turned t
