Aren't we in the modern age? Scientists discover many things but why the hell can't they discover a cure for a broken heart?
"Black label, please," I said.
"Bakla, may problema ka ba ha? Pwede mo namang sabihin sa amin."
I looked at Ors who's sitting beside me on the couch of this club. The different lights can be seen on his face.
"Ors, I'm okay! Hindi naman masakit, parang sinaksak lang ako." I chuckled before leaning at the backrest of the sofa. My eyes went to Miya who's worriedly looking at me.
"Avi, what nangyari ba? Is it about the guy na crush mo?" she asked.
I laughed a bit because of her statement.
"Drop the crush. Hindi ako masasaktan ng ganito kung crush ko lang si Nero."
Dumating na ang Black Label at ang bucket ng beer sa table namin. I immediately got a bottle of beer and drink on its mouth.
"Oh, heck!" Tinulak ko siya kaagad paalis sa ibabaw ko.My head is still spinning but it seems like my soul is back on me again.We just kissed! It's a freaking kiss!Natutulalang napahawak ako sa aking labi.I've been kissed by a lot of men, good kisser men but why is that accident kiss the best from all the kisses that I had?!I was about to lash out on him but everything went blurry the next seconds.Nagising ako na nakahiga sa aking malambot na kama. Napahawak kaagad ako sa aking ulo nang maramdaman na parang mabibiyak ito."Ayaw ko nang uminom," I whispered.But obviously, that was a lie.Iika-ika akong pumasok sa cr at naghilamos. Nanlaki ang aking mga mata nang makita na iba na ang suot ko.Who the hell changed my clothes?!Kahit natataranta a
Am I really rude to suffer all of these? My life sucks. The man that I like hates me, my parents don't have a damn care about me and oh come on, I even have a bitch half sister.Sister? Disgusting.Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang may humablot ng braso ko. Nanlilisik ang aking mga mata nang balingan ko si Gianna.Really, Dad? Katunog pa talaga ng name ko?That explains her blue eyes. Kapatid ko pala ang babaeng 'to."What do you want? Happy now? Nakita mo akong sinampal ni Dad, 'di ba?""Yeah, I'm really happy, Avianna." She plastered a smile that greatly irritates me.I just rolled my eyes at her."Solohin mo sila kung gusto mo. Huwag mo lang akong pakikialaman.""Oh, who told you that I'll meddle with your life? I won't. I'm happy here."Napatingin ako sa k
Napatingin ako sa isang platform na nasa hindi kalayuan sa akin. Katatapos lang kumanta ng isang banda. May isang gitara roon na pumukaw sa aking atensiyon. I went to the platform and talked to the guy who's the guitarist in the band. "Can I borrow your guitar?" Napatingin siya sa kaniyang gitara pabalik sa akin at nginitian ako. "Sure. You wanna perform?" His airy voice sounds pleasing in the ears. I nodded and give him a little smile. "Smile more. Mas lalo lang gumaganda kapag nakangiti." I just jokingly rolled my eyes of him and laughed a little. "Bolero." Iniwan ko na siya roon saka ako pumunta sa gitna ng platform. I tapped the mic to make sure that it was on making all the the people's attention to be on me. I almost rolled my eyes when I
"Move.""Huh?" Maang na tanong niya."Ba't ba ang lapit mo sa'kin?" Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin pagkaharap ko sa kaniya.It made him chuckled. "Thank you mo ba 'yan? You're welcome ulit."Inirapan ko lang siya saka inayos ang jacket na nakapatong sa balikat ko. Naupo ako sa buhanginan at naupo rin 'tong kapatid ni Nero."Why are you still here?" I asked him while looking at the waves that are approach us."Baka kasi kailangan mo ng kasama."Mataray ko siyang tiningnan at magsasalita na sana nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya."Kailangan mo nga ng kasama.""Tss, pinapalayo ako ng kapatid mo pero ikaw lumalapit sa'kin. Ano ba talaga trip niyo?""Ba't mo ba nagustuhan si Nero?""Why are you asking?" tanong ko pabalik."He doesn't deserve you.
"Miss Avianna Stusick?""Yes?" I lazily lifted my head to see the professor in front."May you introduce yourself?"Tumayo na ako saka pumunta sa unahan. Nilibot ko ang aking paningin sa buong classroom saka ngumiti.The boys whistled because of what I did."Hi. I'm Avianna Stusick, 18 years old. Im here so probably I'm taking Tourism Management. So yeah, that's it."Bumalik na ako sa pagkakaupo at naabutan ang katabi kong babae na nakataas ang kilay sa akin. I also raised my right eyebrow at her."Mandy Alberts?"Tumayo ang babaeng katabi ko saka pumuwesto sa unahan. She plastered a smile."Good morning! I'm Mandy Alberts, 18 years old. I hope that all of us can get along. But I also think that I can't get along with all of you..." Tumingin siya sa akin kaya napahalukipkip
"Hmm?" Utas ko nang sagutin ang tawag ni Riggs.["Bebe, alam mo ba kung nasaan si Nero?"]Napairap ako at saka napabalikwas mula sa pagkakahiga sa kama."Riggs, I'm not a lost and found section," I sarcastically said.["Nagtatanong lang eh. Baka alam mo?"]"Tsk, I don't know. I saw him hours ago but I don't know where he is now. Please, ayaw ko na marinig ang pangalan niya."["Nagbabagong buhay ka ba?"]I heard him chuckled."Nye nye."["Kung kailan ka na may pag-asa eh..."]May kinuha ako sa ilalim ng kama kung kaya't hindi ko masyadong narinig ang sinabi niya."Ano 'yon, Riggs?"["Wala! Kapag nakasalubong mo si Nero, tawagan mo ako ah!"]"Sayang ang load sa'yo."["Afford mo naman kaya o
"I thought you are missing."I looked at my side and frown. Nero is leaning against the door of his unit. Isa pa 'to eh. Sakit din sa ulo."Talk to the wall." Irritated, I went to the door of my unit and get the key out from my shoulder bag. Pumasok ako sa loob at didiretso na sana sa couch nang may humawak sa braso ko. As if a self-defense, pinilipit ko ang kamay ng humawak sa akin."Damn it!"Napatili ako at nabitawan ang kamay ni Nero. Nakahawak ang kaliwang kamay niya sa kaniyang kanang braso habang napapadaing sa akit."The heck! What are you doing in here? 'Yan tuloy!" Paninisi ko sa kaniya.After several deep breathings, he started to calm down and the pain is decreasing."The door is open. You didn't lock it."I arched a brow. "But that doesn't mean that I want you here inside!"
" Mommy... Mommy, wake up..." mahinang bulong ng isang maliit na tinig sa tabi ko. Napakislot ako at minulat na ang mga mata.I looked at my 5 year old son who's sitting beside me. Nakatingala siya sa akin habang nakangiti. I looked at his eyes that always reminded of someone that I've been with years ago, but not anymore.Hinaplos ko ang pisngi ng aking anak at nginitian din siya."I'm sorry I fell asleep," sabi ko sabay haplos sa buhok ng aking anak."It's okay, mommy," tugon niya. "Is the airplane going to land now?" tanong niya habang nililibot ang tingin."I don't know... I'll ask, okay?""Okay,mommy," he said then chuckled.I pressed the button to call for an FA a

My life is like gray color. It's dull, lifeless. How come life becomes lifeless? Is it even possible?I was busy with my laptop when someone continuously knocks on the door. Kung sino man iyon, tanga siya. Meron namang doorbell.Iritang-irita ako nang tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa sofa at nilapag ang laptop bago nagtungo sa pinto.Nang buksan ko iyon ay halos manlaki ang mata ko nang makita si Nero!"Anong ginagawa mo rito?"Tiningnan niya ako gamit ang kaniyang langong mga mata. Smell of alcohol lingered in my nose.Lumapit siya sa akin at may sasabihin na sana nang mawalan siya ng balanse kaya napakapit siya sa magkabilang-balikat ko."Nero!"Dali-dali ko siyang inalalayan. I can't bring him inside my condo, baka bigwasan niya ako kinabukasan. Hate pa naman ako ng taong 'to.
