It’s been a month since I cut my ties to my mother. Nalinis ko na rin ang pangalan ko sa buong kompanya, of course sa tulong ni Marcus. He helped me to clean my name and to fix the mess caused by my mother. I know that my mother can do horrible things. She is evil, a pure evil. Well I can tell that I made the right decision to cut my ties to her. I don’t want to medle myself to them. Hindi ko na kaya dahil pagod na pagod na akong ipakita sa kanila na magaling ako, nakakapagod ng intindihin sila. Andito pa rin ako nakatira sa bahay ni Marcus. Maybe soon I will find some space for myself, a condo unit where I could move all my things and live there peacefully. “Marcus!” I called him. He was in the kitchen and he was cooking our dinner. Well he insisted on cooking our dinner. “Do you need anything?” He asked me, shouting back. Andito kasi ako ngayon sa living room nagbabasa ng magazine— naghahanap pala ng magandang condo unit na mabibili. Hindi naman ata ako puwede na tumira rito sa
Nakakunot ang aking noo habang nakatingin kay Marcus na ngayon ay masayang nakatingin sa langit. Andito kasi kami ngayon sa isang amusement park. Ang sabi niya magdi-date raw kami at hindi ko akalain na dito niya ako dadalhin. Wala naman akong karapatan na magreklamo dahil cute naman at masaya naman siyang kasama rito sa amusement park. Actually this is the first time na makapunta ako sa ganitong lugar. I remember, when I was a kid I didn’t experience this. Ang ginagawa ko rati ay mag-aral at mag-aral at kapag hindi ko naabot iyong expectation ng mga magulang ko ay kinukulong nila ako sa aking kuwarto. I shook my head. Bakit ko pa ba iniisip iyon? Wala na ako sa puder nila kaya dapat hindi ko na iyong isipin. “Okay ka lang?” Tanong nito habang nakangiti. I find it cute the way he smiles. “Hoy! Ayos ka lang?” Tanong nito ulit. Umiwas ako ng tingin at saka tumango bilang sagot. “Ayos lang ako. I’m just overwhelmed…” Tumingin ako sa ferris wheel na ngayon ay umiikot. Napangiti ako

I'm here to be happy, to buy my own happiness.One night happiness. One night to forgetHindi ako nakasuot ng gold mask katulad ng iba. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit sila nakasuot ng ganiyan eh.

Iyong mawawala agad iyong sakit sa isang inom lang," mahinang usal ko ro'n sa Bartender.Andito ako sa harap ng counter dahil gusto kong magpakalasing. Iniwan din naman a
I picked up my phone inside my purse. My brows furrowed while looking at it. What the hell! Anong kailangan nito sa akin?Naiinis akong pinindot iyong answer call button, hindi ko pa man nalalagay sa tenga ko ay rinig na rinig ko na iyong sigaw ni Iris.Iris is my half sister from my father side and we are not that closed to each other. I hate her so much, she took everything away from me.I only have my company but I have no freedom. I'm always be my parents shadows, while Iris? She can do whatever she wants. I am a respected person in this world of business but I can't do whatever I want."What is your freaking problem, Iris? Could you stop screaming." I rolled my eyes when she tsked in the line."Where are you?!" She asked—no she shouted."Wala kang pakialam kung nasaaan ako. Ano ba ang kailangan mo? Straight to the point, Iris." Napapikit ako para pigilan ang inis sa aking katawan."Hang up this phone call. You're useless and worthless, Sister ever!" I heard her scream before she
I was looking at my wrist watch while waiting someone. I'm here at Camp Cuisine waiting for Mr. Carter to come. I don't know what his agenda to me but I am here, waiting for more than 5 minutes. Wala namang masama sa paghihintay lalong-lalo na kapag mahalaga ang pag-uusapan. Actually this is the first time na naghihintay ako sa mga taong late.I let out a deep when my phone rang inside my bag. For sure si mommy na naman ito. Kinuha ko na mula sa aking bag ang cellphone ko at tinignan kong sino ang tumawag. Am I right. Si Mommy iyong tumawag. Tumunog ulit ang cellphone ko at umilaw ito para mas lalong lumitaw ang pangalan ni Mommy. I had no choice but to answer her call. "What? I have someone to meet right now," I speak as I answered her call. "Is that important to your soon to be husband, Seina?"she asked me coldly. "Soon to be husband? As far as I remember I don't have any fiance. So stop it. Maski isa sa mga i-re-reto mo sa akin ay wala akong papatulan Mommy. I don't care with
Marcus Zion Point of ViewHindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari kay Seina. Kanina lamang ay masaya pa ito at nakikipagbiruan pa sa akin ngunit ng buksan niya ang kaniyang telepono kanina ay bigla na lang nagbago ang mood niya. She even ask me go on a date with her. I feel that she is sad and I can't say no... I can't make her sad because it is my duty to make her happy, to make her safe and give her a happy and confortable life. It's my promise to her beloved father. "May problema ba?" Tanong ko sa kaniya ng makababa kami ng sasakyan ko. " Kanina ko pa napapansin na may problema ka at sobrang tahimik mo buong biyahe. You don't even dare to talk to me."Dahan-dahan siyang lumingon sa akin at ngumiti. Alam kong hindi ito tunay dahil iba ang sinasabi ng mga mata niya. She's not happy. She's smiling but she is not happy."I'm okay, Marcus... you don't have to worry about me." She smiled fakedly. "Let's go! I want to have fun tonight." Nauna na itong maglakad papasok sa loob ng El Paradis
Seina Riley Point of ViewNakakunot ang noo kong nakatingin kay Marcus. Naguguluhan pa rin ako hangang ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sinasabi niya kanina."I will do everything to protect you, Sei and this time I won't let them hurt you. You will stay in my place starting today and until you recover your life again."What is he talking about? May alam ba siya sa akin? But how? "Are you okay? You look upset," usal nito pagkatapos patayin ang makina ng kaniyang sasakyan. I let out a deep sigh and shook my head. "Nothing..." "Kung iniisip mong nagbibiro ako sa sinabi ko kanina... nagkakamali ka. I mean it, I really do mean it. You will stay in my place while working to your company," he said and walk towards the entrance of Rolex Condominuim. Nakatayo lang ako habang nakatingin sa kaniyang likuran. Paano niya nasasabi ang mga iyon? Hindi nga niya ako kilala eh. How could he let me stay in his place kung kakakilala lang namin? Unless, he know me from the start we've met in the C
Nandito kami ngayon sa isang botique sa loob ng mall. Kilala ni Marcus ang owner ng botique na ito at mukhang may discounts. Hinayaan niya ako na bilhin ang lahat ng gusto at syempre sino ba naman ang tatanggi sa grasiya diba? Ako? Ayaw ko tumanggi dahil siya ang magbabayad lahat. How lucky I am to have him."Ang sweet naman po ng boyfriend niyo, Ma'am." Napatigil ako sa pagpili ng mga damit at gulat na humarap do'n sa sales lady. What did she say? Boyfriend? Ako? Boyfriend ko si Marcus? I shook my head and a fake smile flashed on my lips. "No, he is not my boyfriend. We are just friend.""Pero—"I cut her off. "Again, he is not my boyfriend." "Sorry po, Ma'am." Paghingi nito ng tawad sa akin. Isang ngiti lang ang iginawad ko sa kaniya bago muling bumalik sa pamimili ng mga damit na kakailanganin ko. Kinuha ko na lahat ng kailangan ko at binigay ito sa mga sales lady na nakasunod sa akin. I don't need to fit it because I already know my size. Alam kong lahat ng kinuha ko ay kasya
