Tears started falling down from my eyes. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na akong umiyak sa araw na ito. Ang alam ko lang ay pagod na ko sa lahat ng kasinungalingan at gusto ko ng malaman ang katotohanan.

I parked near his café. I asked him to meet me here, kung saan kami unang nagkita. I want him to remember how we met each other as well as the truth coming out from his mouth. 

Lumapit ako sa bench na halos ilang metro lang ang layo sa café niya. Ang sagot niya sa'kin kanina ay susunod siya sa akin kaya hihintayin ko siya. May ilaw na nagmumula sa café niya na nasisigurado kong pasara na, at may ilaw din na nagmumula sa poste na malapit sa bench na inuuupuan ko. Nanlalabo ang paningin ko ngunit isinawalang bahala ko lang. 

I keep on looking at my phone habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mga taong unti-unti nang nawawala at umaalis. Umaasa pa rin ako sa mga pangako niya, sa mga sinabi niya a

  • Falling For Cupid   Chapter 24

    PRESENTI ran. I escaped.I ran as fast as I could as if I was chased by a monster. I escaped as if this house is slowly suffocating me. My hands were trembling as another wave of tears flowed from my eyes.Betrayal. I was betrayed by the same person I trusted.Ang sakit sa pakiramdam na hindi ko man lang nalaman na siya 'yon. Na 'yung lalaking pinakasal sa'kin at ang lalaking minahal ko ay iisa. How stupid can I be? Hindi man lang nagtaka kung bakit hinahanap ko ang presensiya niya sa tuwing wala siya sa bahay.Ang daming tanong sa aking isipan tulad ng pa'nong siya 'yung pinakasalan ko? Pa'nong sa loob ng halos dalawang taon kasama ko pa rin pala ang lalaking minahal ko ng sobra? Bakit ako 'yung pinakasalan niya to think na, ginamit niya lang ako 'di ba?Mabilis ang hakbang kong pumasok sa sasakyan at nagmamadaling pumasok sa loob. My main agenda

    My head hurts like hell.Dahan-dahan akong bumangon mula sa pagkakahiga ko sa kama. Ang una ko agad napansin ay ang texture ng hinihigaan ko. I know how my pillow and bedsheet feels like.Iginala ko ang mata ko. Unfamiliar. Dumapo agad ang tingin ko sa cr at nakahinga ng maluwag. I thought I'm on someone else house ngunit napansin ko kaagad ang cr at ang buong kuwarto na halos walang personal na gamit. I know that I'm in a hotel room somewhere.My head is throbbing, so are my eyes. Ang sakit ng mata ko sa kakaiyak kagabi. Even though my head hurts, I manage to stand and fix my things. Dumiretso ako sa cr na nasa loob ng hotel room at inayos ang sarili ko. As I put concealer below my eyes, I remembered what caused me to be like this.I closed my eyes as I felt a lone tear escape my eye. Sariwang-sariwa pa ang sakit na nararamdaman ko and it can't stop me from crying over again. Hindi naman

    "Guys! Nakakita na ako ng pupuntahan for team building. Hindi ba naghahanap si sir Devan na pwedeng puntahan?""May nahanap din ako!""Mas maganda 'yung sa akin!"Nadatnan akong nag-uusap ang mga nasa finance department kasama ang mga interns. Nang makita ako ng isa sa kanila ay agad silang nagsibalik sa kanilang ginagawa na para bang hindi ako kasali sa pinag-uusapan nila kanina.Ano ba kasing pinag-uusapan nila?I rolled my eyes. Hindi naman talaga ganito ang ugali ko pagdating sa mga employees pero bad trip ako ngayong umaga. Pinipressure ako ng board dahil sa mga investor na munting nang mawala at ako ang sinisisi nila.Ni hindi ko nga alam bakit ako ang idinidiin nila and after that, I decided to asked my secretary if it's my fault. Now I realized that my personal problems were starting to interfere with my work. Hindi ako makapag focus

  • Falling For Cupid   Chapter 27

    "I am willing to invest 3.5 million in your company," I was sipping on my juice when Madam Christina said that. Muntik pa akong mahulunan dahil sa gulat."That's a very huge amount," I said formally, tinago ko ang pagkagulat at ipinakita ang formality sa boses ko.Bago kami makapag-usap ng ganito ay ang tagal kong hinanap ang table na pina reserve niya. Kinailangan ko pang i-contact ang secretary ko dahil 'yung boss ay hindi alam kung ano ang name na under reservation.When I reached her table, nagulat ako dahil mukha siyang bata. I mean, since she called herself Madam Christina, I thought she was in her 60's already pero hindi. She's wearing a sun dress and a brown cat eye shades. May hawak siyang pouch and she looked intimidating.We shaked our hands and introduced ourselves to each other before we reached this far."I asked my inaanak kasi kung saan ako pwedeng mag

    Mabilis akong umalis sa pagkakahawak niya at naglakad papalayo sa kanya. I don't want to see him, I don't want to talk to him either."Psyche," he called.I stopped and glanced at him, "what?" Kasing lamig ng simoy ng hangin ang boses ko.I saw him hesitating to say something but his eyes were pleading. Hindi ko alam kung para saan ang pakiusap sa mga mata niya at ayaw ko ring malaman."Are you gonna say something?" I keep my face stoic pero sa loob ay halos magwala na ang mga lamang loob ko. I clenched my fist to prevent them from trembling. Nanghihina rin ang tuhod ko at parang anytime ay babagsak ako."C-Can we talk?" His voice is soft as feathers but I know better. Maybe he's just pretending to be like that like how he lied about being my husband.I pressed my lips together. "We're already talking Mr. Monteverde."

    Wearing my white and cream asymmetric dress paired with ankle strap platform heels with my vintage chanel bag, I entered the building.Today is Monday, all my employees are busy as they entertain clients. Sa bawat pagdaan ko ay babatiin ako ng mga empleyado na babatiin ko rin pabalik nang hindi ngumingiti.Dumiretso ako sa elevator bago kinuha ang cellphone galing sa bag ko. It is nine in the morning. Ang aga-aga pero busy na agad ang mga tao. I did not even notice that I'm alone here.When it stopped on my office floor, I walked outside. Sinalubong ako ng secretary kong may hawak na bulaklak.Isang linggo na ang nakaraan matapos ang birthday ni Devan and since that week, I've been receiving white roses and americano every morning. Ngayong umaga naman ay may kasamang pancakes.Kinuha ko sa kamay niya ang Americano at pancakes. Good thing I haven't had my breakfa

    Hindi ko alam kung paanong nakarating ako sa ganitong sitwasyon pero nakita ko nalang ang sarili kong nakasay sa kanyang kotse habang nasa driver's seat siya."Your seatbelt. You never changed, you always forgot to fasten your seatbelt."I scoffed. "I've changed. You changed me," I answered bitterly.Hindi ako nakarinig ng reponse sa kanya kaya itinuon o nalang ang attention ko sa labas. I'm annoyed at him plus the heavy rain that's starting to pour.Bakit ba 'pag uulan, nawawalan ako ng gamit?"I.." he paused, "I hurted you and I'm planning to do everything for you to accept me again."Hindi ako sumagot sa kanya at tinitigan lang 'yung mga ulan na dumadaloy sa bintana.Napapikit ako. This is fcking deja vou. Nangyari na ito dati but a lot of things changed. Almost six years ago, I was on the same seat with the same situatio

    I'm sipping my wine in the veranda of the hotel room I'm in. Nakatingin ako sa mga bituwin na nasa langit. I wonder what is he doing right now.Nakasuot ako ng black satin nighties and a robe. It's 10 PM here in Hong Kong and this is the last night here. Bukas ng umaga ay uuwi na ulit ako ng Pilipinas.Three month here on Hongkong and focusing on myself really did helped me a lot. Ang isang buwan ay naging tatlo dahil pakiramdam kong mas kailangan ko pa ng oras. Now, I'm on the process of healing.I gained more confidence and I was able to forgive my father. Hindi naman talaga ako galit kay daddy, I'm just annoyed because he didn't told me anything about that.For Cupid's mom, I understand where her anger is coming from. Nagmahal lang siya, and it ruined her. Ayokong dumating sa point na gano'n kaya mabuti na rin sigurong lumayo ako sa loob ng tatlong buwan.

    "Her name is Psyche Venice Azarcon. A 23 year old business management student." Inabot sa akin ni Hades ang papel na hawak niya. I looked through her basic informations. Her name, her age, her birthday, and more."Bakit wala siyang picture?" Napakunot ang noo ko.He shrugged. "She really don't post that much. Wala akong makuha. I can't find her instagram account either, hindi naman ako spy."I chuckled on what he said. I tapped his back and made my way out.Hawak ang papel ay sumakay ako sa kotse at nag drive papunta sa café ko. It's Valentine's, siguro ay marami ang costumer ngayon, lalo na sa main branch. My cafe is always special on Valentine's, of course, my name is Cupid.I arrived on a scene that made me creased my forehead . 'Yung lalaki, nag popropose sa girlfriend niya.

    Love cannot live without trust. The words you can hear when you talk about Cupid. But how can you trust when they betray a lot of times? How are you able to trust that someone again when they were the one who broke it?Forgiveness. I learned that forgiveness brings back the trust that is once lost. If you're able to forgive, you'll be able to trust again."So how did you do it?" I asked him as I fasten the seatbelt. We're on our way back to the metro after he had lunch with my family.Kasama namin ang pamilya kong magtanghalian. We talked about all the things that happened and I'm glad that my family forgives Cupid. My father asked for our forgiveness as well as him for hurting me. Now, it's all good.He glanced at me as he drive. "Uh, I.." he paused, "I changed my perfume and learned how to change my voice.""Oh?""Yeah, if you remember, I
