With the passing of days, Angelo became dependent- on the pill- that was; given to him- enough to make the pill called Gleyma his lifeline. The once healthy physique of Angelo had become scrawny that his parents- who thought they could finally sigh in relief because of the positive change in their son’s behavior had started to worry- when they saw that their son’s appearance had begun to; deteriorate.
Every time his parents would ask Angelo about his condition, he would drive them away with the reassurance that- he was; alright, and because of that- his parents could only look at Angelo with sadness before leaving his room. All they could do was; swallow the bitterness they had felt as; parents- since their son refused- to personally share- to them his struggles. They hope that -there would come a time- when Angelo would have the confidence to spill everything to them. As they are Angelo’s parents, they would gladly listen to every single thing he would confess to them, and
That night as Angelo’s parents were; having a mental breakdown in front of their son- who was helplessly lying on the hospital bed. A team of hospital doctors suddenly made their way and took Angelo- to undergo a procedure to remove all the toxic substances in his body. Angelo’s parents were anxious by each of the passing hours that- their son is away from them- they don’t know what would happen by each minute the time would move. They could only hope that their son would be able to; successfully escape the clutches of death. As their patience was slowly fading away, a doctor emerged from the emergency room- which the three of them had grabbed immediately, not wanting to let the doctor escape from their inquiries. As soon as; the doctor had explained to them- the condition of; Angelo. His parents and Angelus had finally sighed in relief. Each of them slowly slumped in the benches found in the hospital’s hallways, and when the doctor had seen the relief look- on the f
With the drawing out of his last breath, Angelo’s life scene- that was being on a replay slowly started to fade. The crowd of people- that was around Angelo was; long gone, and the noisy background was changed- into that of; pure tranquility. Also, the scene- wherein Angelo was; lying in his pool of; blood had changed into that- of pure whiteness. That even a spot of blood was; nowhere to; be seen. The scene slowly changed, and the once pure white and silent background shifted to a location where there was a rich sound of waters flowing, and the scenery was as if it was the middle of the milky way galaxy. The colorful and beautiful setting was enough to mesmerize whoever would get to see it. Angelo, who- was lying on the cold pavement, was now standing in the middle of the beautiful scenery. He was looking around as if bewildered- why he was in the sort of place. Angelo then walked, trying to find his way, and with each step that Angelo; takes- ripples started to for
Angelo stayed inside the boundary for quite a long time; he was figuring out how he could get back to the mortal world- that Angelo began walking; aimlessly in hopes he could get back home. While walking without a definite direction in mind, Angelo stumbled upon a shining and mesmerizing stone. Angelo could not keep his balance that he had fallen face flat on the ground that looked like a clear water surface. He immediately supported himself upwards, and when he had done so, Angelo touched his nose- to see whether it was; broken or not. When he was sure that no damage had been done- in his oh so precious nose, Angelo looked at the piece of stone that had caused him to trip over. And his eyes- shine wide when seeing a deep hole just beside the; stone, an idea flashes through his mind; Angelo then prepared himself to dive under the deep hole. If his theory is; right then, he would be; able to escape the place by diving into the ominous pit. Angelo dived inside, and as
Early the next; morning, Angelo and Mark woke up without delay to clean the hospital room they had used. They also didn’t forget to neatly place the clothes that Angelo used inside the duffel bag, and just as Angelo had; placed the last piece of clothing inside the bag- the person assigned to pick them up had; finally arrived. Mark swiftly grabbed the duffel bag and carried it using his left hand, while his free hand extended out to; Angelo- as if telling him to take his hand and let him be his escort. Angelo was contemplating whether to take Mark’s hand since if he would take the ugly Homosapien’s hand, then his pride as a man would tarnish. But not responding to Mark’s kind gesture would just be viewed as him being ungrateful, especially that there is an outsider in front of them. Just then, Angelo’s gaze locked- at the driver that is; also inside of the room; the driver’s face was full of expectation- as if expecting what Angelo’s next move would be. Angelo could
A loud hum was; heard throughout the whole room, and Angelo’s concentration was; broken when he heard such a distracting sound. He slowly turned- his gaze from the intimidating man and shoots- daggers towards Mark. The second Angelo lands his scary gaze- Mark immediately shrugs and points toward his mother. Angelo shifted his vision and saw the face of Mark’s mother to be gradually turning purple. When Mark’s mother discovered that her daughter-in-law was looking at her, she gave a helpless- smile and went beside the man who- looks frightening. Angelo with- his mouth opened wide, he then followed the movement of Mark’s mother using his pointing finger- as soon as the gorgeous tigress had settled near the scary man, Angelo screamed in surprise. “Y...you!” Angelo could not form words because of the shocking revelation he had just found. “Are you the gorgeous tigress’ father?” With Angelo’s query, the surrounding suddenly had gone quiet, and crows starte
The days had quickly passed for; another time, and before Angelo had known it; he had already stayed in the main house for about three months. During his stay in the main house, he was able to get along well- with Mark’s mother- the both of them had even gotten a new hobby of watching dog blood dramas- whenever both of their men- are out for work. They had grown a tacit understanding that- whenever they were the only person left in the house- both Angelo and Mark’s mother would immediately head to the theatre room- to watch their favorite drama. Whenever a heartfelt scene would appear- on the screen, the both of them would cry their hearts out. And every time this; would happen, Angelo would grieve after since he was acting uncharacteristically with his manly image. Angelo would mourn for only a short moment, and the next day he would start with his routine again. It was not only Mark’s mother whom; he had gotten close during the time he had stayed in the mansion- for three
Angelo is standing in front of the teachers' office, contemplating what to do. Nibbling his nails, Angelo is facing back and forth- on the office entrance. Just as when he decided to head home and inform the school that he still needs- to recuperate. A woman a; head smaller than him had; opened the door of the office. They were both shocked- when they had seen each other, making the both of them speechless for a couple of seconds. The atmosphere was turning a little awkward, and Angelo was contemplating what to do. Fortunately, the woman a; head smaller than him had started to; break the ice."Ms. Suarez, welcome back," a smile was formed- on the lips of the woman as she said her greetings to Angelo. "I thought you'd file for another leave the third time."Angelo was about to; give some pleasantries to the woman when he stopped and processed the last words of the; lady. Angelo didn't have an idea that; someone had already filed a leave of absence in Aimie's stead- for
When the students had noticed the; presence of another person inside the classroom, they hurriedly looked up from their slouching position and eyed the newcomer. The second they had known that it was only Ms. Suarez who- had arrived, they continued with what they were doing earlier.This series of actions from the students earned a raising of the eyebrow from Angelo; he was not sure if these students of Aimie were well-behaved or plain rude. As soon as he was standing on the center stage, Angelo began to greet the students, but instead of greeting him back- he was welcomed by complete silence.There was complete silence in the room that even a single drop of; a pen would be; heard. Angelo began to lose his composure; he; doesn't know what to do, he was shaking on the inside, but he made sure not to express it on his face. He took anothe
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
