Changes

It's been four days since Anzo's friends visited me. I'm okay now. Wala na akong lagnat at hindi na rin masakit ang ulo ko, probably because my male nurse is good at taking care of me.

I tried to go to work but Anzo wouldn't allow it. We were like a couple having our lover's quarrel, like what is happening right now.

"Okay na 'ko, Anzo. I'm very fine... see?" I smiled widely to convince him.

"Do you think that will work on me, young lady?"

Young lady? Did he really think I'm that 'young'? I'll eventually reach the right age! He'll see.

"I'm fine, Anzo. Ayos na nga ako at kailangan kong magtrabaho. It's been three... no... four days of being absent! Kailangan ko ng pera!" I exclaimed.

He's jaw clenched. "Then I will damn pay for you! Just please listen to me."

He's controlling himself, I know it. He's damn mad. Bakit ba ganyan siya makareact? Hindi ko pa siya boyfriend!

Goodness, Arielle! Bakit may 'pa'? Umaasa ka ba na magiging boyfriend mo ang lalaking 'yan?

    MusicMabilis kaming nakarating sa Palawan State University. Agad pinark ni Anzo ang kaniyang motorsiklo sa parking space. Yumuko ako habang tinatanggal ang aking helmet dahil sa tinging ipinupukol ng mga taong dumaraan, especially those female college students. May iilan pa akong nakikitang nagbubulong-bulungan. Maybe they're talking about the unknown student and loser na kasama ni Anzo. Walang iba kundi ako. As much as possible, ayokong mainvolve sa kahit anong gulo. Their stare is very deadly, na para bang isang malaking kasalanan ang makasabay o makatabi man lang ang volleyball Captain ng CEAT. Mali pa atang sumama ako kay Anzo dahil pwede siyang matsismis dahil sa akin. He's well known not just because of his talent in playing volleyball, but because of his achievements. He's not just a typical college student coz he has the body, the appearance, and the brain. At ayokong masira ang pangalan niya dahil sa walang kwentang katulad ko. "Hey... are you okay?" pagkuha ni Anzo sa ate

    UnexpectedAng pagtugtog ang siyang naging sandalan ko noong mga panahong nabubuhay pa si Mama at Papa. Mga panahong masayang masaya ako dahil sa suportang ibinibigay nila. We were totally happy and I thought everything was perfect.But in just a blink of an eye, nawala ang lahat lahat sa akin, lahat ng meron ako."You're a monster, Azerielle!""I hate you, Eira! You're not my friend anymore... I don't know you! You're a monster!""Let's end our friendship... You're nothing but a trash..."Agad akong napahinto sa pagtugtog at mabilis na tumayo. Namutla ako at nanginig ang aking mga kamay. Kasabay nang pangangatal ng aking labi ay ang siyang pagkabog ng aking dibdib. Sari saring eksena ang pumasok sa aking isipan at wala akong magawa para matigil 'yon. "Please, stop!!"Tinakpan ko ang aking tainga dahil sa sunod sunod na boses na aking naririnig. "Mama, I don't to be with her. Nakakatakot siya...""Sinong engkanto ang sumapi sa batang yan, Azilla?! She's a monster!""I'm not a monste

    First KissIsang malaking palaisipan sa akin kung bakit magkasama sina Anzo at Zemeira. They way they smiled at each other, parang matagal na silang magkakilala. Zemeira is my cousin. Anak siya ng isa pang kapatid ni Mama na si Tita Azul. Maganda na siya dati pa but she's grown into a fine and sophisticated woman. She's very graceful and elegant. Habang nakatitig ako sa kanya, kinompara ko ang aking sarili. She changed a lot at malayong malayo ang pinagkaiba namin. From her fitted black dress and that... heels? Shit. Ni hindi ko nga kayang magsuot ng sandals na may takong.Maging ang ilang bumibili ay natutulala sa kanya dahil talagang nakakapang-akit ang kaniyang ganda. Her presence is shouting elegance and the way she moves? Talagang napalaki siya ni Tito na napaka sopistikada. "Zemeira..." Anzo called. Zemeira chuckled and smiled sweetly. "What's with you, Anzo? You used to call me Eira."Eira. My body froze. Sumikip ang aking dibdib dahil sa lahat ng napagtanto. Lahat ba ng

    JealousNatulala pa rin ako habang nakadungaw sa pintuan. Nakapasok na si Anzo sa harap na kwarto pero heto pa rin ako at hindi makagalaw. Ilang beses niya na ba akong nahalikan sa araw na 'to?Wala sa sarili akong humiga sa kama. Naabutan ko na lang ang aking sarili na ngumingiti mag-isa. Shit. Nababaliw na ata ako. Nagpagulong gulong ako sa kama habang yakap yakap ang aking unan. Ibinaon ko ang aking mukha sa hawak na unan dahil hindi ko na mapigilan ang aking pagtili. Kung hindi naman ay hahawakan ko ang aking labi at ipapadyak ang aking mga paa. I'm going crazy, and it's Anzo's fault!Hanggang ngayo'y malakas pa rin nag kabog ng dibdib ko na siyang si Anzo lamang ang nakagagawa. I can even feel his soft lips against mine. Everything is surreal. I was angry at him and all, but everything turns out to be okay between us. Hindi rin pala masamang magpakatotoo. Dumating ang ala-una at hindi pa rin ako nakakatulog! Buhay na buhay pa rin ang kilig cells ko. I was wide awake thinking w

    CousinsTulala pa rin ako habang naglalakad paalis sa gym. Naabutan ko na lang ang sarili ko na nakatayo sa harapan ng isang booth. What am I even doing here anyway?I examined the whole booth. May mga customized na bracelet, necklace and other accessories. Pwede ka ring magpalagay ng name sa bracelet, whether it is baybayin or not.Maybe I should get one for myself and for... Anzo?I feasted myself on the unique and beautiful accessories in front. May mga pearls din pala roon and dream catchers.Kanina ko pa tinitingnan ang isang bracelet na kulay black and white. But still, magdadalawang isip pa rin ako kung bibilhin ko ba. Masyado kasi akong kuripot sa sarili. At isa pa, if ever na magpagawa ako ng isa para kay Anzo, parang hindi naman ata maganda. He's rich and of course, he's used in expensive things.I breathed heavily. In the end, napagpasyahan kong huwag na lang bumili. Naglakad na ako palayo sa mga booth at umupo muna sa bleachers. Masyadong abala ang mga tao dahil sa last d

    InstrumentsDumating ang inaabangang friendship day. Abala ang lahat sa napakaraming gawain. Maging ang taga CCRD ay tumulong na rin sa paghahanda. May iilang nag-aayos ng stage, at may iba namang nagbubuhat ng plastic chairs. Pero karamihan ay tumulong sa paggawa ng napakalaking bonfire sa gitna ng field.Kahapon pa natapos ang announcement ng mga nanalo sa Intramural Meet. Umulan kahapon pero tuloy tuloy pa rin ang program. This year, overall champion ang CEAT. First runner up naman ang College of Business Administration, second ang PSU North at third runner up naman ang College of Arts and Humanities. Iyon lang ang natandaan ko."Ayos na bang ilagay 'to rito? Bakit wala kasing mga lalaki? Panigurado nanunuod nanaman ang mga 'yon sa gym!" reklamo ni Riccah habang mariing pinunasan ang pawis sa kaniyang noo."Huwag na kayong umasa sa mga lalaking 'yon! Andito naman ako!" singhal ni Jay Rex at nagtaas baba pa ng kilay. He posed for a whi

    NecklaceBakit ganon? Sa tuwing natatagpuan ko ang sariling umiiyak o nalulungkot, lagi siyang naroon? Sa tuwing nagtatago ako, palagi niya akong nahahanap. He always finds me whenever I'm hiding.I bit my lips hard that I think it bleeds. Worry and uneasiness is visible on his face. Sandali kong ibinaba ang hawak kong Koto, at tumayo nang bahagya. Kinain ng malalaking hakbang ni Anzo ang aming distansya. Agad niyang hinila ang aking braso at iniyakap sa kanyang mga bisig. Yakap ng isang taong takot na takot na mawala ako. Para siyang bulkang sasabog sa tuwing nawawala ako sa paningin niya. Siya na mismo ang gagawa ng paraan para hanapin ako. And here he is, hugging me tightly na para bang anytime... mawawala ako. He hugged me with love and care kaya mas lalo akong naging emosyunal. "It's okay. I'm here now," he whispered while giving me small kisses above my ear. Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nagagawang patahanin ni Anzo sa tuwing umii

    ReachNang makababa sa sasakyan ni Anzo, agad niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko. I want to protest pero naisip ko, para saan pa? Didn't I told myself that I will not be scared? That I will hold on to his hands tight?"Smile, baby," he whispered.I nodded my head and smiled back. Hinigpitan ko pa lalo ang hawak sa kamay niya. He glanced at our clasp hands and suppressed a smile. Habang naglalakad, panay ang tingin sa amin ng mga estudyante. Anzo is very famous kaya't hindi na ako nagtaka pa. What will happen to me if his fans find out that he's now courting me? Will they bully me? Hurt me? "Sila ba? Hala! Siya ba 'yong nasa post ng Anzonatics?""No way!"Naaasiwa ako sa bulong bulungan na naririnig ko. Sanay naman ako, pero kapag kasama na si Anzo? Ibang usapan na. I wonder what other people are thinking now. Sa parking space pa lang, rinig na rinig na ang napakalakas na tugtugin. Sa tingin ko nga'y nag-umpisa na

    Wakas"Ayoko na..." My body froze as I stared at her. Nakaramdam ako bigla ng takot. I'm tired for her Aunt's investigation, at wala pa akong tulog. I haven't sleep for how many days. Pero nang sabihin niya ang mga salitang 'yon, para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. My forehead creased as I looked into her eyes. Bakas ang sakit at galit sa mga 'yon. "Sabi ko ayoko na!" she repeated. I clenched my jaw. I know where this is headed.I chuckled to hide my nervousness. "What do you mean by that?"Mas lalo lamang akong natakot nang makita kung paano magsibagsakan ang mga luha sa mata niya. I haven't seen her cry all this time. I'm mad at myself dahil pakiramdam ko ako ang dahilan kung bakit siya umiiyak. I attempted to wiped her tears away pero mabilis niyang tinabig ang kamay ko, and it pained me. The way she avoided me was like she's disgusted. At hindi ko alam kung saan niya kinukuha lahat ng 'to. She looked at me with so much pain and hatred. "Itigil na natin 'to, Anzo. I giv

    Kabanata 50AcceptanceThe lust I'm feeling for him was unbearable. I think I'm about to explode if he doesn't take action. All I want is for him to touch me. Hindi sapat ang halik lang. Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses ko na ba 'tong ininda but I'm positive, I'm really craving for him. Humiwalay siya sa pagkakahalik sa aking balikat pagkatapos ay ibinalik ang tingin sa akin. I slowly gasped as his manly cologne lingered on my nose. And damn it! It's making me more arouse.I crouched to reach his lips. I didn't fail. His lips taste like mint at kung may kung ano sa tiyan ko na gustong kumawala. Para akong kinikiliti. It was just a peck pero gusto ko pa. Higit pa sa mababaw na halik. I pulled from the kiss and looked at him with sleepy eyes. Umawang sandali ang labi niya ng matitigan ako. He licked his lips, tempting me to kiss him again. "Don't give me that face, baby. Baka makalimutan kong buntis ka."That was supposed to be a threat pero sa pandinig ko, para niya akong inaakit. I t

    Kabanata 49Move ForwardI closed my eyes as I felt the familiar breeze against my skin. The sky is as blue as the ocean, and the green trees were swayed by the cold wind. I've been here a couple of times, and yet I'm still not used to it. Going back here makes me comfortable and at the same time makes my heart sting a bit.I formed my lips in a grim line, pagkatapos ay inilahad ko ang partikular na bulaklak sa puntod na nasa aking harapan.Zenon S. de AsisBorn: March 12, 20XXDied: February 4, 20XXHellary S. de AsisBorn: June 25, 19XXDied: February 4, 20XXOne month has passed since their death. And everyone's slowly accepting everything. Slowly.Nang gabing tumawag si Ate Sha, nalaman ko na tumakas pala sa kulungan si Tita Azul. Hindi na ako nagtaka pa dahil she's capable of doing anything. Maybe she thought that everything's not over yet. She badly wants to have revenge over our family. I thought so too that everything's fine already dahil nasa bilangguan na siya but I was wron

    "To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness." --Robert Muller_________________________Kabanata 48ForgivenessMabilis na nagdaan ang mga araw para sa akin. Wala na akong ibang ginawa kundi ang humiga buong araw sa hospital bed. Madidischarge na ako ngayon kaya't nagliligpit na si Anzo. Uuwi ako ngayon sa bahay doon sa East Village. Anzo tried to persuade me na sa kahit saang bahay niya kami titira pero hindi ako pumayag. Doon ko gustong tumira sa East Village. I won't leave that house. "Will Kuya go with us sa East Village?" I asked Anzo. "No. He's busy with something..." He paused. "...important. Besides, Abraham has life too. Maybe we shouldn't meddle with his businesses.""I'm not meddling with him, Anzo. I'm just concerned. Napapansin ko na balisa si Kuya like he's thinking deep. Alam mo ba kung nasaan siya?"Anzo shook his head. "No, baby. Abraham's a little bit distant these past few days. Let's give him tim

    Kabanata 47Again"Hindi pa nga pwede, Arielle. Hindi pa pwede."I pouted saka matalim na tinitigan si Anzo. I kept on asking him the same question, but I couldn't convince him. He was peeling some apples with crease brows."Gusto ko na ngang lumabas. Magaling na 'ko.""No. You're not," mabilis niyang sagot. I shrugged and raised my brows at him. "I said I'm fine."Anzo sighed. "Baby, you've just woken up. Hindi ka pa magaling.""Magaling na ko. At kawawa naman 'tong katawan ko. All I did was to sleep and sit all day."Siya naman ngayon ang nagtaas sa akin ng kilay. Ibinaba niya ang hawak na kutsilyo at mansanas. After that, he reached my face with his left hand saka isinipit ang takas kong buhok sa likod ng aking tenga. "If you want to go out that much, then you need to recover fast. And that includes eating nutritious foods, Arielle. Our baby needs it, my fiancee needs it," he smiled, encouraging me. I frowned. "T-then feed me..."I diverted my gaze at him. Nahiya pa ako. He pur

    Kabanata 46HopeLahat tayo takot sa kamatayan. Takot na iwan ang mga mahal natin sa buhay. Takot na masaktan sila. I was too, afraid of death. Hindi pa ako handa, dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na marami akong iiwan. Marami akong masasaktan. And it will leave marks on their hearts, lalo na kay Kuya at Anzo. I remembered one time when I asked Mama about death. It was weeks after my Abuelo passed away."Mama, is Abuelo in heaven now?"Ginawaran ako ni Mama ng isang malungkot na ngiti saka tumingin sa malawak na kalangitan. "Yes. He's in heaven now," si Mama sa maliit na boses, still looking at the blue clouds.My forehead creased when I saw her reaction, para bang maraming iniisip.Nagluluksa pa rin kami hanggang ngayon dahil sa pagkamatay ni Abuelo. I bit my lips, and leaned closer to hug her. She breathed heavily and kissed my temple. "I'm okay, sweetheart. Mama's okay."No. You're not okay, Mama. I can feel it. You're not okay. We're here in the large flower garden in Taiwan. Zhong

    Kabanata 45The CulpritI never imagined na hahantong sa puntong mapapahamak ako ng ganito. When I'm in danger, I always escaped. And for how many years, nagawa kong makaligtas sa kamatayan. Nagawa kong mabuhay. My body feels so heavy. I opened my eyes kahit hinang hina. At first my vision was blurry dahil sa liwanang until everything becomes clear.I wandered around. Nasa isa akong malawak na bodega. The lights are all open. I was about to stand up when I realized that my hands are tied together at the back of the chair, the same goes with my feet. Nagsimula na akong kabahan nang mapagtanto ang huling nangyari bago ako mawalan ng malay. Elsie called me saying I need to get out of Tita's house immediately. And... and someone has put something on my mouth. Nanubig ang mga mata ko. Ayaw tanggapin ng sistema ko ang nangyayari. I was... kidnapped. "Let me out of here. Please! I didn't do anything! Pakawalan niyo ko!"I started to scream as tears rolled down my cheeks. May mga taong n

Sinasabing..."Bumaling si Ate Sha sa akin kaya't nakuha niya ang atensyon ko."Pang-apat na pagsabog na 'yon, a. I'm getting chills when I think na terrorist ang gumawa.""Nagkataon lang 'yon, Ate Sha," I replied. "Arielle, malapit lang 'yon dito." She raised her brows tila kinukumbinsi ako.Nasa sala kami ni Ate Sha while watching TV. Nitong linggo kasi, sunod sunod ang pagsabog dito sa Sta Prexedes kaya't mas pinahigpit ang security. I frowned saka umiling. Tumayo na ako at tumungo ako sa maliit kong library. The door was slightly open. I peeked and saw my baby's father who's peacefully sleeping on the couch with a parenting book on his chest. I smiled weakly. During these past weeks, napapadalas ang pagpupuyat niya sa pagbabasa. Everytime I see him with creased forehead while reading seriously, my heart melts. He's been very patient lalo pa't gusto ko na siya 'yong b

He must've installed some secret cameras around the house or if not, hire a private investigator! I gathered all my courage, and faced him. "Ano naman sayo kung buntis ako?! You're not the father so back off!"Tumalikod ako patungong kwarto pero mabilis niya akong nahawakan sa braso. Marahan 'yon kaya't hindi ako gaanong nasaktan. "We're not done talking, young woman."Narindi ako dahil sa pagtawag niya sa akin no'n. Bata pa ba ang tingin niya sa akin? I don't care if he's older than me. Ha! We already did it, and I'm pregnant tapos tatawagin niya 'kong young woman?!Marahas akong bumaling sa kanya saka tinabig ang kamay niyang nakahawak sa aking braso."Fuck you!" I shouted at his face. Kung pwede ko lang saktan ang lalaking 'to, kanina ko pa ginawa. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla bigla na lang akong nagagalit. "Go home! Hindi mo anak
