2021-11-13 17:48:27I woke up in the school clinic. Hindi na nga ako nagulat pa. Because I already knew the reason why I'm here. I lazily roamed my eyes around the small room before getting up. Masakit pa rin ang ulo ko pero hindi ko na ito pinansin.
"Zeph... gising ka na pala." Ivory uttered when she noticed my presence.
Binantayan pa rin pala nila ako habang natutulog. Yet, I did not talk to them. Hindi ko nakalimutan ang ginawa nilang pagsisinungaling sa akin.
I checked my phone and there were no messages and missed calls from my parents and my sister. They did not even bother to contact me!
It was already past twelve, I slept for almost three hours! Kaya mabilis akong nag-ayos ng sarili. I still have to attend my afternoon classes. Tumayo na ako pagkatapos kong mag-ayos sa sarili at kinuha ang bag ko mula sa bedside table.
I halted walking when Ivory spoke. "Zeph, magpahinga ka

Everyone gasped after hearing those words that came out of my mouth in front of the guests, my parents, my friends and my... sister. They were all surprised. But I know few of them here know the truth. Still, majority of them don't know me and my relationship with the Forteza couple. Some stood up and asked each other if what was happening. Hindi na maipinta ang mukha ng parents ko matapos kong sirain ang announcement party. Their eyes are threatening me but I am not scared. My friends were speechless and they gaped in surprise. I wasn't even expecting myself to do this. But they should ready themselves for I still have to play with them. I smiled sweetly at them before making a serious face. "Oh, sorry. I was just kidding aside! I am just a random person who badly wanted to be on TV. I am craving for attention so I took this opportunity." I laughed out loud before han

Trigger Warning : At the end of the chapter, there will be a scene that might trigger your mind and feelings. Read at your own risk. *** I was speechless and I don't know the proper words to say. The whole room was filled with silence. "Oh, I'm so sorry for asking that." My Philosophy teacher chuckled but it was more like a mocking laugh or maybe I heard it wrong. "Anyway, class, let's proceed to our lesson for today. Open your textbooks on page 15." Then, she went to her table in front of the class while discussing our lesson for today like she did not asked me something sensitive! She did not even bother to ask me if how I felt when she literally saw how my hands and knees shook after hearing her sudden question. I was so scared a while ago that I couldn't form any word to say. They were all looking at me na parang hinuhusgaha

"Ethan...?" I mumbled his name unconsciously."Hey... Erin." He gave me a warm smile.And he has the audacity to give me a smile right now, huh?!Mas nadagdagan lang ang galit at pagkamuhai sa puso ko ngayon. Dahil nasa harapan ko lang naman ang mga taong nagpahirap sa akin, ang mga taong nanakit sa akin. Emotionally, mentally and physically. They are the reasons why I am suffering and why I am so damaged inside. I may look better from the outside but deep inside, I'm silently crying. Sobrang daming sugat na ng puso ko.Kumuyom ang aking mga kamay. "Why are you here?" I intently asked him while looking straight into his eyes."Well, uh... my parents are one of the biggest investors of this entertainment agency." He said that made me scoff.Kaya pala lumambot ang ekspresiyon ng mga magulang ko nang makita si Et

I couldn't answer him as I was stunned with his question. And I don't know what to say. Kahit ako, hindi ko nga rin alam kung ano ba talagang meron sa aming dalawa. We were just strangers whose paths were crossed by fate. But then, everything just happened so quickly. Ngayon, nangangapa na kami sa dilim. Kapwa kami naguguluhan kung ano ba talaga kami."I want to know kung ano ba talagang meron tayo. I don't know where to put myself. I don't want to assume that we both feel the same way. But at the same time, gusto kong paniwalain ang sarili ko na gusto mo rin ako. F*ck... pagod na akong manghula, Erin!" Ethan frustratingly messed his hair.Hindi ako nakapagsalita kaagad. Dahil hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Hindi ko alam kung saan humugot ng dapat kong sabihin."I... I don't know what to say. I'm sorry." I was about to walk away from him when he tightened his grip on my hand.

My life went back to its normal state again even after what my parents did to me back at their office. Because life should go on anyway. I was just really glad that I did not hear any rumors about me and my family anymore. Medyo naging okay na ulit ako at balik na nga sa dati. Nilinis na naman siguro ng mga magulang ko ang mga pangalan nila. Nilinis na rin nila ang kagagahang ginawa ko sa party dahil ayaw nila ng kahihiyan.Funny how they cleaned up their mess through their dirty ways.My routine is to go to school, hang out with friends and go home with Ivory on school days. During weekends, I will go to the grocery store to shop for necessary household items and foods to store in Ivory's fridge in her unit. We also both continue learning how to cook and bake while trying different recipes. It became one of our hobbies and way of bonding, too.Talking to Ethan on the phone every day and night became pa

I thought everything is already going better just like how I wanted. I haven't done anything to fix it but at least, I've found the peace I wanted. My parents didn't bother my life... for now. Although I haven't talked to my sister for a while now, I am still feeling happy to see her photos on the internet and I enjoy watching her on the TV show she's in.But... no. Lahat na lang ng konting kasiyahan ko sa buhay napapalitan ng matinding kalungkutan.My best friend for more than ten years let me go. He cut ties with me and..."He flew to Canada right away, Erin." Jake's mom said when I called her.It's been days since he hasn't contacted me and I never saw him in school, too. Even Axi and Ivory don't have any idea if where he went. He did not even left any message for the three of us. He just disappeared and went overseas."N-no..." My voice cracked and my knees were shaking.

I ran out of words. I didn't know what to say after hearing all the gossips and reading the articles online. Everything that happened to me these past few days has always made me speechless. Parang natutulala na lang ako dahil sa mga pangyayari, eh.Umuwi kaagad kami pagkatapos kong mabasa ang mga artikulo sa internet. Nakakalat na sa kung saan-saang platform ang balitang may affair ang mommy ko. People keep on talking about her. They keep on spamming every tweet and post with hate comments. They even created hashtags.'What a whore. Hindi na nakuntento sa asawa niya. She has everything she needs and wants but still cheated on her husband. #FarrahLandi''Gusto niya talagang mas sumikat at yumaman pa kaya pinatulan ang CEO na sobrang yaman! Pero girl, may asawa rin siya! #FarrahWhore''Flirt old woman. Lmao. #FarrahLandi #FarrahWhore'I turned my phone off after reading those few

I'm at a loss for words after hearing Ethan's unexpected confession in front of the entire class. I was so embarrassed by his careless behavior! Nainis na rin ako kasi hindi niya man lang pinag-isipan 'yon. I've never had a boyfriend, and I don't even entertain previous suitors. And that's because I don't intend to have one. Tapos malalaman ng mga kaklase ko na pumayag akong ligawan ng isang transferee?! That's just... too much to process. People will undoubtedly start talking about him and... me. Ethan came from a wealthy family.At ang alam nila ay galing ako sa middle class family. Which is hard for them to digest dahil paano raw ako nakakapag-aral sa school na 'to kung hindi ako anak-mayaman. The hypocrisy is on another level. If it's not because of my looks, they won't treat me nicely. That's for sure. Ayokong maging pulutan na lang ng chismisan nila palagi. If they got nothing to do rather than talking shit about other people'

The first time he saw her, he only thought that she was not even his type. Maarte, isip-bata, at mataray—all of these traits were just so far from his liking. Yet, here he is, looking at her with nothing but admiration and love, reflecting on the journey they've taken together. Ethan stood by the window, watching Zephyrine in the garden. The sun cast a golden glow over her, highlighting her hair as she tended to the flowers. He marvelled at how far they had come, both individually and together. He thought back to when he was just a playboy, flitting from one girl to another without a care. Meeting Zephyrine had changed everything. "Ethan," Zephyrine called out, breaking his reverie. "Are you just going to stand there and watch, or are you going to help me with these flowers?" Ethan smiled, walking over to join her. "Can't a man admire his beautiful wife in peace?" Zephyrine laughed, a sound that always filled Ethan with warmth. "You can, but I'd prefer if you also helped me pla

After the reconciliation with my sister, I called our parents to come over. I did not expect them to come right away. But they really did. Nagulat na lang ako na wala pang isang oras ay nakarating na sila sa rest house na kung saan kasalukuyang tumutuloy si Aye Zafie. Mom was hysterically sobbing as she tightly hugged Ate Zafie, apologizing for her shortcomings all over again. Dad was silently watching them but I know better. He's breaking down deep inside but he just wouldn't show it off.They were both worried for my sister. We all are. My heart tugged at the sight of them embracing one another as I stood from afar. I couldn't help but break into a small smile as I watch my little family slowly getting back together. I've longed for this ever since. Despite all the issues, the disappointments, the hatred, and the betrayals... I've always found my way to them. I've learned how to forgive my parents especially my mother who had made my teenage life worse than it could have been. T

I guess love can actually drive us insane. It's terrifiying at most times. I could attest that."She's still not answering her phone?" Ethan asked while driving the car to the cafe where my sister frequent. At least that's what her friends told me over the phone a while back.I puckered my lips as I shook my head. I also couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. It's been hours since my sister went missing in action. And we still couldn't track her. Pero hindi naman ako susuko sa paghahanap sa kanya. Kaya lang ay pagod na talaga ako sa ngayon. I felt like my body's about to give up any moment from now, but I didn't make it obvious to Ethan. Alam kong pagod na rin siya. The least I could do is to not stress him out more. Kahit na hindi ako sure kung anong ginagawa ko ngayon. Kasi sa totoo lang, hindi naman na dapat nandito si Ethan. This has nothing to do with him. And yet he's here—to help me find my sister. I heard him heave a deep breath as well. He then carefully pulled over near a

"That wasn't your fault, okay? It was mine. I'm sorry." Ethan said repeatedly even if he didn't need to. "Let's stop putting the blame on ourselves, please. And stop apologizing. We just slept—that's all. Mom was just overreacting. Didn't know she had that attitude." Napailing na lang ako.Seriously? Siya talaga magdidikta sa aming dalawa na gawin nang official ang relasyon namin ni Ethan? That sounded so weird for me."Still... ako ang lalaki. I should've known that it would put you in the bad side."I rolled my eyes. "Duh? As if sleeping together is that big of a deal. We didn't even kiss. Inaantok na nga tayo pareho kagabi. OA talaga ng mom ko, for real. Don't worry about it that much. We won't rush things the way she wanted us to."He let out a deep sigh before nodding. He looked so stressed out about what happened. Mom's pressuring him, too. I wasn't mad at her, I was just pissed. Kaya nga kami umalis agad after breakfast. I didn't want to hear mom's opinions about Ethan and I an

"Love-" I was about to say something to Ethan but stopped when I realized what I just said. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang lumingon si Ethan sa 'kin. And his eyes widened as well. Of course, we're both shocked! He obviously heard what I just called him. Magkatabi lang naman kaming dalawa. Umawang ang labi nito at nagtatanong ang mga mata. "Did... did you just call me 'love'?" He asked, amused. I bit my lower lip. I didn't know what to say again! Pasmado talaga ang bibig ko at kung anu ano na lang ang lumalabas mula dito! Palaging nadudulas, eh. "I mean-" Umiwas ako ng tingin nang mapansing sumeryoso ang mukha nito. I'm never ready to talk about 'this' yet. Para akong kakapusan ng hininga kapag pag-uusapan namin ang relasyon namin or whatever. Kasi alam ko na kung saan 'to patungo, eh! As I said, I don't want to commit myself to Ethan for now. And I don't to disappoint or hurt him in any way. "Alam mo bang ilang beses ko nang pinangarap na tawagin mo rin ako ng ganoon, Zephyrine?"

"Are you feeling better now?" Ethan asked me, but I didn't look at him. Namamanhid ang labi ko nang dahil sa kanya! "Hey. I'm sorry. I was just tempted to kiss you." I groaned. "Ugh. Can you please just shut up? Masyado ka nang nakadagdag sa problema ko sa buhay." "I'm sorry, okay? I just wanted you to feel better through my kisses." Tingnan mo nga 'to at binibiro na naman ako! "Tumahimik ka na lang, please. Tama na kaka-mention tungkol sa kiss na 'yan!" Naiirita kong sambit. At tawang tawa naman si gago. Ang sarap talaga nitong suntukin, eh. Hindi ko na ulit pa pinakinggan ang mga pinagsasabi niyang hindi magandang pakinggan para sa 'kin. Mahawaan pa ako sa kaharutan niya. "Hoy. Kung gusto mo talaga ako, samahan mo nga ako sa loob ng house nila mommy." Paghahamon ko sa kanya. I thought he was going to say no but he immediately offered his hand to me. "Take my hand and hold on to it tightly. I'll always be by your side, no matter what happens." I rolled my eyes after hearing

"Hey, you can do this." Ethan told me as he gently hold my hand. We were in front of my parents' house and I am feeling a little nervous to get inside. Actually, halo halo ang emosyon ko ngayon. A part of me hated the fact that my parents were not really caring and nice to me ever since. They were blinded by their fame. They enjoyed their spot under the limelight. They caused me both emotional and mental damages. I could feel anger boiling up in my heart again just by thinking every cruel thing my parents put me in, so I tried to execute the breathing exercises for me to calm down. I can't be like this right now. I needed to get things done. I needed to fight against my own monsters. "Masama ba ang pakiramdam mo? Let's just go back when you're ready to face them again, Erin. You need to compose yourself first, okay? Please don't push yourself too hard. May nakalaang oras para sa lahat ng bagay. There's no need to rush." Ethan tried to make me feel better with all tho

"Hey, I'll just buy something downstairs." I told Ivory who's now busy with the report that she had to do as the president of the student council. "You sure you're okay to go out alone?" She asked. "I'm a hundred percent sure." "Okay." She replied with a nod. Her eyes didn't leave the screen of her computer. "Wala kang ipapabili?" Tanong ko. "Nothing. Just be safe. Diyan ka lang sa baba, ah." I nodded and made my to the convenience store. When I was inside the elevator, I had a hard time composing myself. Ang daming tao sa loob, siksikan pa. I almost couldn't breath, not only because it was crowded inside but because I was triggered by that traumatic memory I had in Cebu when I went out alone.This is so tiresome. Lagi na lang ganito nararamdaman ko every time I try to do my usual routine alone. I am already breathing heavily and was about to get back to the unit dahil sa takot kong baka maulit na naman '

I was waiting for Axi and Ivory to come back from the lavatory. I was so hungry that I didn't mind going there with them. Besides, I have a feeling that I am already starting to hate going to lavatories, rest rooms or comfort rooms because of Ethan and Wry. So, I just minded my own business and ate lunch since I am really hungry. As in, for real nagugutom na talaga ako. Ang dami ko ngang biniling pagkain, eh! I don't eat a lot but whenever I'm stressed out, I would unintentionally eat a little bit more. I already had two cups of rice and two pieces of fried chicken. I felt so full but still had a can of a carbonated drink. I also am planning on buying hash browns. "I know you're here." A familiar voice spoke that I almost spit out my drink. What the heck?! I had a sudden mix of emotions inside and I hated it. I don't want to be in my whirlpool of thoughts and become vulnerable again. Hindi na ako magiging marupok, I promised that to myself. And I will protect
