*** SHE was losing hope. Especially when she saw how sharp Paolo’s gaze was at her. But this is her only chance to tell him her truth. She stepped one step closer to him, but her heart constricted when he signaled her to stop. As if right there, he didn't give her a chance to tell the truth. "I never left. I stood beside you. Because that...that's our promise to each other." She's thankful that her tears are in favor of her. "But where were you during those times?" He gently asked. What is the correct answer to this question? Because I'm out of options? "Because I needed to choose." "To choose between what?" His face showed a lot of chaos and confusion. "To choose between money and you! And obviously, she got the money before leaving you.” Grace is perfectly giving evil vibes. "That's not true! I’m out of options! I needed to sacrifice you for someone special for both of us! It was too messy! I don't know where to hold on. Where to get some strength? If-” He ra

He asked her. Infinity looked at him as if he had four heads. "Huh?" "I mean… What… Coffee? Maybe you want some coffee first? My treat!" He asked, a little bit shy. "Ah...S-Sorry. I was in a hurry." She politely refused. "Next time, then?" He asked while giving her his million dollars. The boy next door smiled. "Y-Yeah! Maybe next time. Thanks for bringing me back my notebook. Bye!" She didn't wait for his answer and immediately left. He was left staring at the figure of the woman who was leaving. Those innocent eyes. This girl is really something. It got his attention even more. "Hey Paolo! We thought you were doing something. Why are you here? What are you doing here?" He heard one of his friends ask.

* B A C K S T O R Y* *** SHE is busy looking for the book in the school's library she needs to read for their essay writing. The library was surprisingly full. Maybe she will just ask for a table with a vacant chair if she can sit there. She suddenly remembered the man who returned her notebook. He intends to fool her. Maybe he thought she was someone who could be easily fooled. But she admits that he is handsome. But she knew he had a walking headache. Because the handsome man was followed by a headache. Also, she has to graduate first. Now that she’s 2 steps behind her dreams, she will not allow herself to introduce a distraction in her life. After seeing the book she needed, she saw an empty table. She started reading, and after 20 minutes or so... she felt someone sitting in the chair across from her. Only to be greeted by his face once again. "What a-" "Sssshhhh..." He heard everyone in the library say. It turns out it was the school librarian. She immediately

* B A C K S T O R Y* *** "HOW was your date yesterday, Pao?" His friends immediately greeted him. He smiled before answering. “The best!” They all cheered for him! They are currently at Jhezz's residence, they have nothing to do this weekend. They are now on a frequent coffee shop date. He knew lots of things about her, from her reason why she took creative writing, her passion for writing, and her small dreams that she wanted to accomplish someday. "Everything is settled already, bro? Have you made your final move?” Leo asked. "No. I think this time, I'll make things right for a girl." "Make things right?" He asked, confused. “Infinity's different. He is not just a pastime or a good time kind of girl. I can feel that maybe she's the one I've been looking for." "Oooh! It looks like this time Cupid made a bull’s eye!" Patrick couldn’t help but tease his friend, who is currently, foolishly in love right now. "We’ve just gotten to know each other for a while, but my at

When the light disappears And when this world's insincere You'll be safe here - You’ll be Safe Here, Rivermaya *** * B A C K S T O R Y* WEEKEND. Elroy had been courting with her for two weeks. She was fond of calling him by his second name. Not that she's making a fan of him, but she really likes his second name. Especially the meaning behind it. Infinity has a little secret. She is fond of calling him Elroy, his second name, not because she's teasing him. But it's because it's her way of owning him. Calling him by the name few people have the right to. And she is one of them. She kinda feels special for him. Paolo doesn't know this. And she is not planning to tell him. Not until they leveled up their relationship. He will go home to the orphanage this weekend as usual. Infinity was surprised that when she came out of her rented bed space, the young man was in the reception area waiting for her. “Oh! I believe we don’t have any plans for today, right?” She asked in surp

* B A C K S T O R Y* *** THEY were sitting on the grass by her mother's grave. "When I was young, I thought my family was perfect. Dad was working like any other father, then Mom and I stayed at home, waiting for him to come home. I did not question my mother why Dad was going home every other week. Because she said that is dad’s nature of work." She started to narrate the story. "Every birthday, my father promises that we will celebrate together. But it never came true. On special occasions like Christmas or New Year, we celebrate it in advance or after. One day, his original family knew about our existence and confronted my mom. I was in grade 4 at that time. Even as a child, I could understand anything that was happening. Apparently, my mother knew that she was the mistress. She only gave me the reason that she accepted my father because she loved him." "The reason why my father can’t celebrate my birthday is because it was also his eldest son’s birthday. I haven't experienc

* B A C K S T O R Y * *** ~~ AFTER the surprise, Infinity asked him if he could accompany her to her parents' grave again. And, of course, he obliged. She was his queen. "Mom, it's my birthday today. Elroy surprised me early with *(1)harana and flowers, and sister Rose and the kids helped him. I bought you some of the flowers he gave me." "I'm glad you're happy," he said. She stood up from arranging flowers on her mother's grave. Then she faced him. Paolo looks like he's watching a movie. The orange sky is due to the sunset. Her hair is gently blowing in the wind and the smile is on her lips. All of that is in slow motion. "You know, Elroy. I promised myself, that whoever was the first person I would have a relationship with, I would make sure he was the last. That's why I am careful with my decisions when it comes to relationships." He was suddenly agitated about what she said. Does she want to end everything between them? Is he not enough? Is the effort he is making st

***ELROY is livid. He had never felt this kind of anger before. He was busy with his work when Leo called him. He is sure that Leo is angry. But hearing what happened he also felt the same. That's why, before going home, he first went to his parents' mansion. It was almost their dinner time at the mansion, so he knew that his mother was already there. And he found his entire family at the dining table while the servants brought out the food one by one. "P-Paolo, you're here! Come eat dinner with us!” His mother said happily.

The doctor had given them the go signal to be discharged from the hospital. "Are you sure you can travel to Manila?" Leo asked his sister worriedly. "You know you can stay here to heal more. Besides, Jana said you have passed the critical stage. But we can't be complacent yet. Your pregnancy is delicate.&rdquo

***“GOOD EVENING!” Leo happily greeted his sister as he entered her hospital room. But she's not alone. She's with Enzo, and he also has bruises and cuts on his face. He gave a sweet smile to his little sister and kissed her forehead. She was a little embarrassed, but he didn't mind. She looks cute blushing. "Hello! How was your day? How's the baby?” Leo asked as he was caressing her head. He could hear Enzo grunt on the other side. "Janna said that we should be careful, she had spotting earlier! That asshole stresses her out!”

"Sir Lorenzo, Dr. Santa Cruz is asking for you inside.” Said the nurse who had just come out of his wife’s room. Lorenzo walked towards Infinity's room, that's why Elroy decided t

***ELROY did not waste any seconds and started to drive to where his wife was. It took him hours to travel, but he did not feel tired. When he arrived at the said hospital, the visiting hours were over. He decided to stay at the local motel, freshen up, and go to her first thing tomorrow. When the morning came, he bought a flower basket and went straight to the hospital. She asked the front desk where her room was, and the station nurse said it was in the suite. He was in front of her door. He had been waiting for this time for a week. But he didn't know why he was agitated. 3 minutes passed when he decided to knock and open the door. He was welcomed by sofas, which looked like the receiving area of the room. At the end of the room, there was a separate room that looked like the room of the patient itself. He peered and there, he saw his wife. She is sleeping soundly, but based on her face she looks tired. He put the flowers on the bedside table and sat in the visitor's chair

Ikaw lamang ang tangi kong minamahal, ang lagi kong dinarasal. Sana'y habang buhay tayong magkasama, ang puso ko'y ibibigay lamang sa 'yo Ito ang aking pangako mula ngayon hanggang magpakailan pa man. Ikaw lamang - Ikaw Lamang, Gary Valenciano *** ELROY immediately went to the orphanage expecting his wife to be there. But she is nowhere to be found. “Infinity hasn't been back here since you left. The last time we exchanged messages was when you returned from Manila,” Sister Mabelle said to him. Elroy's heart beat erratically. Infinity is not here. Where will he find his wife? He had no idea where she could go. "Thank you, Sister." He just said this while trying to think of where his wife could go. He wasted no time and immediately left the orphanage. It had been a long drive from Manila, but he would not hesitate to return there just to find out where his wife was. "P-Paolo! Paolo!” He heard sister Mabelle shouting his name, so he immediately stopped getting in the car.
