Exelle

Napatitig na lamang ako sa bulto ni Hans na ngayo'y nakatayo sa gitna ng silid na kinaroroonan namin. Walang lumabas na salita sa aking bibig dahilan para mawala ng tuluyan ang ngiti nito sa akin. Naging seryoso ang mga titig nito sa akin na lalong nagpatindi sa aking kaba at makaramdam ng takot. Tahimik lamang akong nakatitig sa kanya at gayon din si Sam.
"What the hell are you doing here, Mr. Alvez?" Mariin na tanong ni Sam kay Hans ngunit isang halakhak lamang ang natanggap namin.He's laughing like he won in a game. A demon who won in a game.A game? It's more likely I'm the one hosting the play, so bakit siya ang gagawin kong panalo? I won't let that happened."Ms. Exelle Kim," panimula ni Hans bago ito yumuko saglit at magsalitang muli, "I mean, wife. Now that I've seen how you reacted seeing that articles and seeing you with your best friend, Samara, lExelle.."The materials were all good qualities, as well as the workers themselves. It's no wonder that the building was almost finished by half of its half." Mrs. Holland chuckled."It wasn't that grand but the architectural design's looks quite unique. Looking at it, it is pleasing to the eye." Mr. Mendrano commented while scanning the unfinished building in front of us. "I can't wait to see its full picture until the project ends."The other board members seems to be pleased dahil nakaguhit din sa mga mukha nila ang kung ano man ang ekspresiyon ni Mrs. Holland tungkol sa proyektong ito. Its a matter of fact that they're all looking forward to the finish product of the hotel.Of course. The construction company that I've associated with, ay ang number one in the lists of reliable construction company known worldwide. EXiellenne Royale was lucky to work with them. Buti na lang talaga at mayroong branch
Exelle..I park the car in front of 7/11 and immediately walk out para bumili ng alak. Natandaan ko kasi na naubos na pala ang alak sa bahay kaya dito muna ako sa convinience store bibili pansamantala. Tsaka, my house is only one block away from here kaya madali akong makakauwi.Nang makabili ako, ay agad akong lumabas ng convinience store. Nakatayo ako sa harap ng glass door ng 7/11 while checking the drinks I brought when something caught my eyes. Napalingon ako sa nakaparadang kotse di kalayuan sa gate ng bahay ko.I didn't notice that car earlier, I thought.While looking at the car meters away from here and from my house's gate, I felt a sudden chill from the night's breeze. It wasn't this cold earlier, I told myself. Kaya napatingin ako sa wrist watch ko."Exact eight in the evening. That makes sense," I told myself nodding before walking straight to my car.Nang makasakay ako s
Exelle..Hindi mangyayari ang nais niyang mangyari!I mentally yell saka ibinaling ang tingin sa bintana ng kotse na aking kinaroroonan. Kitang-kita ko mula rito, sa kabila ng tinted window glass ng sasakyan ko ang pigura ng dalawang taong masayang nag-uusap sa loob nang Starbucks.Hans and Rylie.Tsk. I thought nagkakalabuan na silang dalawa, pero ano itong nakikita ko ngayon? At nakapuwesto pa silang dalawa sa may bintana kung saan kitang-kita sila ng maraming tao. Or is it an act? They do look like a sweet couple getting back together but from where I am located, I could still smell something gross.Malansa ito at nakakasuka.Dahil sa naisip kong ito, mas bigla namang nagbago ang timpla ng sarili kong kape nang makita ko ang isang paparazzi na sikretong kinukuhanan ng litrato ang dalawa. And take note, it seems like that bitch, Rylie, knew about the existence of the pap
Exelle..I hummed a song that came to my mind.Twirling a strands of my hari on one finger, I pressed my lips and then smile.Everything that I expected is happening without them realizing that I'm the one who was behind of everything. Through the elevator doors, I could see my smile pasted on my lips. It didn't falter even after seconds, before I let out a small laugh.Crazy as I may look, but it's the natural me.I came back to reality when I heard the elevator's sound as it stop to the floor my office was located. I walk out of the elevator saka nagsimulang maglakad papunta sa aking opisina. Galing lamang ako mula sa construction site nang EX Royale and the result of the building is still ongoing yet already shows an amazing result. Nakangiting tumigil ako sa harapan nang aking opisina, ngunit hindi ko pa man nahahawakan ang doorknob ng pinto nang mayroong biglang humatak sa
Exelle . . Lies. It could be a lie. "Anong ibig mong sabihin na nasa Italy siya? I mean, I saw him with own two eyes. And I'm sure that he's Alexis. I'm not blind or something and of course, I'm sane enough not to see, some certain illusion. Besides, it's not a hallucination or whatever you may call it." I speak continuesly then paused. Taking a deep breath, I spoke and added, "I really did saw him. I clearly saw him that night! I clearly - hah." I gasped for air, eyes closed and gave a smack on my own forehead, before a deep sigh escape my slightly parted lips. Resting my body over my desk, I looked up the ceiling, eyes barely open. This is so much confusing, and I don't like this. The anxiety that my thoughts about Alexis may have gone awry, para mapagkamalan ko ito. I felt nauseous and paranoid. I don't like this. "Ugh!" "Calm down, Elle." His musk
Exelle . . So, this is the so-called twist? My eyes turned colder as it continue to scan the pictures my hands were holding as of the moment. Passing through the couple of pictures my hands were holding, my sight landed on my laptop's brightly lit screen monitor. It felt like, my head turned into a block of ice, feeling cold and lost. And ut felt like my soul has turned into a dreary vapor, even after feeling cold. The ridiculous twist of my fate, turned into an unheard whisper in the wind. "Lex..." I murmured his name. I miss you. I like you. And I'm so glad that I didn't fell for you. Yet, I almost did. "How am I supposed to trust people when even you has gone sideways already? Or maybe, from the very start, dapat hindi na kita tinanggap. What an insane idea of mine." I chuckled bitterly to myself. How am I supposed to react then? It's not lik

Exelle.."Xielle, did you know? I don't really trust that childhood friend of yours."It's Samara. Hissing with her nose crinkled in annoyance. She's even giving Rylie, my childhood bestfriend, a glare. Di ko alam kung bakit ayaw niya kay Rylie but I can't help myself to laughed at her expression that kinda looks cute."Why is that? Mabait naman siya, di ba?" I told, asking as if trying to convince her with a bright smile.Currently, nandito kami ngayon sa football field nang academy na pinapasukan namin. This will be our last year in high school that why we're spending most of our time, lying above the grass carpet that covered the whole field. Nanood kami nang practice nina Jilles, our boy bestfriend na kakambal nang isa pa naming kaibigan na si Jules. Habang sa nasa hallway naman di kalayuan si Rylie habang may kausap na isang estudyante."Basta, nakakairita siya. Akala mo n
"The moment of truth has come, when fears were set aside just as when we prioritize to fight against it instead. The truth is that I have come a long way just to get to this peak that we spoke of and call success. The building that has come to witness the ups and downs in my life since coming back to this place, that from the grains of the sand and of the cement that hasn't been mixed yet into a solid foundation that we call walls and floors, into a majestic tower that now fought heights to reach the sky," I paused as I pressed my lips into a thin smile, bago magpakawala nang isang mahinang tawa. Kumawala sa buong hall ang mahinang tawa na iyon dahil sa speaker na nakakabit sa mic na aking hawak-hawak. Naglakbay ang kakaibang tunog nang aking tawa sa buong paligid. I noticed a ripples forming above the surface of the white wine that my glass contains. It was like a disturbance along the silence but rather calm and enticing. Sumasabay ito sa bawat galaw na ginagawa nng aking katawan a
Third Person's PoV..Umalingawngaw sa buong silid ang mga yapak na gawa nang kanyang mga paa at kasunod nito ay ang tunog nang pagbukas at pagsara ng pintuan nang silid. Naiwan ang dalawang lalaki sa silid tanggapan at tahimik na nakatingin sa pinto na kung saan lumabas ang dalaga. "If you're done then get lost already," biglang sambit ni Dark na dahilan upang mabasag ang katahimikang iniwan ni Exelle sa silid.Napalingon sa kanya si Hans na mayroong hindi maipintang mukha sa hindi malamang dahilan. Dahil maaaring hindi nito nais ang sinabi sa kanya ni Dark o dahil sa malamig na pakikitungo sa kanya ni Exelle at pagtalikod nito sa kanya. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Hans habang matalim na tinapunan ng tingin pabalik ang lalaki.Because he really needs to admit it to himself.Other than the guy being the new man in his former wife's life, hindi niya alam ngunit naiinis siya dahil mas mapagkakatiwalaan ang lalaking ito kaysa sa kanya.'Right. Who would think of trusting me after how
Third Person's PoV..Dark clicked his tongue to openly expressed his dissatisfied feelings habang matalim ang tingin na nakatingin sa pigura ni Hans, na siya namang nakatingin din pabalik sa kanya.Lalo lamang lumalim ang pagkunot nang noo ng binata dahil nilampasan lamang siya ng huli matapos itong patuluyin ni Exelle sa loob ng mansyon. Brimming with his usual intimidating aura, Dark stride along upang sundan sina Exelle at Hans. Dumaan sila sa open living area na siya namang tinambayan nina Dark at Exelle, bago dumating nang hindi inaasahan si Hans. Unlike before that, the place was covered with dim lights sneaking through the slightly opened veranda doors, the place now has its own light that brightly shone along with the lights from the huge chandelier hanging on the ceiling that leads to the staircase near the living area. Ang mga yapak ng kanilang mga paa ay siya namang gumawa ng ingay sa tahimik na paligid at kasunod nito'y ang tunog nang pagbukas ng isang pinto na hindi ka
Third Person's PoV..There's faint smile on her face habang pinapanood ang pag-aaway nang dalawa nitong kaibigang huli niyang nakita, isang taon na ang nakalilipas. Her attention then was caught by someone's presence beside her, dahilan upang mas maging malapad ang mga ngiti nitong kanina ay simple lamang na nakaukit sa kanyang mga labi. Nakita ito ni Lei, na siya namang nakikipagbarahan sa stepbrother nitong katabi niya sa sofa ng salas na kanilang kinauupuan."Hay naku, Pierce. Ang bagal mo kasi," bulong nang dalagang si Lei sa kapatid nitong si Pierce, habang sinusulyapan ang pigura ng isang lalaking kausap ngayon ni Exelle.Kung tutuusin, wala ring ibang masasabi si Lei laban sa lalaking iyon, dahil bukod sa gwapo ito at maganda ang hubog ng pangangatawan ay hindi rin niya maikakailang lamang ito ng isang paligo sa kanyang kapatid. Someone that was
Third Person's PoV . . "It's still the same?" Isang tanong ang narinig ni Dark mula sa mga labi ni Audrey, na siya namang nakatayo sa harapan ng isang bookshelf, kumuha ng isang file folder at binuksan ito. Hindi nito tinapunan ng tingin ang pinsan nitong seryosong nakaupo naman sa sofa ng receiving room na kinaroroonan nila. Parte ang kwartong iyon ng opisina ni Audrey at ang tanging daan lamang upang makapasok sa loob ay ang pintuan ng kanyang opisina. "I... think so." Sa tono nang pananalita ng lalaki, mapapansin ang pagbagal nito. Para bang nagdadalawang-isip kung tama ba ang mga salitang kanyang sasambitin o hindi. Saka lamang napalingon ang dalaga sa kanyang kinauupuan, pinuna ng mga mata ang ekspresiyong nakikita nito sa mukha ng pinsang si Dark. "You haven't met her since coming
Third Person's PoV . . Nanatili ang tingin ni Exelle sa labas nang bintana ng eroplano. Tahimik na pinapanood ang mga ulap na kay lapit na lamang mula sa kanyang paningin. Humahawi sa pakpak nang eroplano ang mga ito at mula sa kinauupuan ni Exelle ay kitang-kita ang isang tanawing ibon lamang ang may kakayahang makakita sa araw-araw. Nakasandal ang ulo sa sandalan ng upuang kinauupuan niya'y ipinikit niya ang kanyang mga mata. "Dark...," she murmured silently. Tanging siya lamang ang nakaririnig nang pangalang ibinigkas nang kanyang mga labi. Habang nakapikit ang mga matang tila pagod na pagod sa mga pangyayaring hindi niya akalain ay kanyang malalampasan, ay pilit niya rin na pinapagana ang kanyang isipan upang mapag-isipan ang kanyang problema. She wonders what Dark thought of her, bago sila maghiwalay kanina d
Third Person's POV . . Exelle didn't talk as she silently watched Dark's unreadable face under the florescent light. Nagbalik na sa dating ekspresiyon ang kanyang maamong mukha hindi tulad nang kakaiba nitong tingin kay Alexis, kanina habang pinapanood ng dalaga ang huli. Walang buhay at tila ba pagod ang mga matang mababa ang tingin pabalik kay Dark. Parang wala lamang na makita nitong muli si Alexis at malamang patay na si Rylie. As if her eyes tells the latter that she's not bothered by Alexis miserable state and Rylie's death. Nakatingin lamang pabalik si Exelle sa pigura ni Dark na hanggang ngayon ay hawak ang kanyang palad. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin dahil hindi niya matanto kung ano ang gusto nitong ipahiwatig. Nakayuko ang ulo ng binata habang ang kamay nitong nakahawak sa kanyang palad ay nanginginig at tila ba takot na bumitaw. At dahil hindi a
Third Person's POV..Maingay ang loob nang iilan sa mga silid nang bawat pintuang madadatnan sa mahabang pasilyong kulay puti. Mayroong tumatawa habang kinakausap ang kanyang sarili at mayroon ding sumisigaw nang napakalakas sa hindi malaman na dahilan. Those strange voices that either sounded happy and suffering, doesn't seem to fit right because of the place's natural gloomy atmosphere.Sa gitna nang pasilyo ay makikitang naglalakad ang isang babaeng nakasuot ng creamy colored turtleneck sweater that hugged her bosom, arms and her entire upper body. Tinernohan ang damit nito nang isang itim na pencil skirt na lampas sa tuhod at mayroong mahabang slit sa kaliwang bahagi nito, revealing her snow white and smooth skin underneath the clothing.Her heels created a ticking sound each time it hits the cemented floor.Sa likuran ni
Third Person's POV . . "Antonio, try to move it here and then to that side over there," the tall and voluptuous woman in her late thirties said to the guy holding a box with both of his hands, kung saan ito naman ay nakatayo sa harapan ng nakabukas na pintuan. Itinuturo nito sa lalaki ang lugar na paglalagyan ng dalawang kahong yakap nito gamit ang kanyang hintuturo na agad namang sinunod nang huli. Nasa likuran nito ang lalaking nakasandal lamang ang likuran sa pader nang hallway kung saan nakatapat ang pintuan ng silid na kinaroroonan ng dalagang inuutusan ang lalaki kanina. Dark silently watch the woman's expressionless face doing her work while he kept his arms crossed over his broad chest. The storage room where the woman is, was brightly lit with the florescent light, contrasting it's walls painted in ash and concrete color.
