Separated by fate, haunted by the past-- that's how they live. Until they meet again; they built hatred, showed agony, betrayed friends, wanted to be loved and learned how to sacrifice one's happiness. Remember those nights that I've been disturbing you, it's because I can't say what I need to say. Remember the time that I didn't disturb you; I've been holding so much, hoping that you'd be the one to call me first- and you did. Every time I hurt your feelings, I'm hurting too. I- I just don't know how to tell you the exact words, so I keep on annoying you. I'm sorry for all the troubles that I have caused- "I know," I said and I hug him. I can sense the same pain as what he is in my dream. Confessing is not bad. I'm just overwhelmed kasi I feel the same. "I like you too, Alex. I don't know how, I don't know why but that's how I felt. I hate you harassing and annoying me but I missed it when you don't!" I smiled. There fate is twisted.

Itinapon niya ang baril at lumapit kay Alex habang niyayakap ito. Hindi niya rin inaasahan na sasaluhin ni Alex ang balang para sa akin. "Anong ginawa mo?" All I could hear was the loud crying voice of Ken.Hindi ko pa marehistro lahat ng rebelasyon ni Ken sa akin tungkol sa anak ko at ngayon nakikita ko na walang malay si Alex sa tabi ko. Nakikita ko ang sariwang dugo na lumalabas sa katawan niya."Wake up, Alex! No!" Paulit-ulit na iyak ni Ken habang yakap-yakap si Alex. He keeps on crying. Natauhan ako at hinila papalayo si Ken sa katawan ni Alex."Stop touching her!" I gave him the hardest punch I could. Hindi siya gumanti sa halip hinayaan niya lang ako na suntukin siya. "You fooled me all this time trying to believe that I'd ruined everything about you and Alex! You fooled me into believing that Ken
Alex's POVHe raped me!Pagkatapos niya akong pagsamantalahan ay maingat siyang humiga sa kanan ko. Nakikita ko ang lungkot at poot na naghahalo sa kanyang mga mata. Bakas sa mukha niya ang hindi maipaliwanag na emosyon."I just wanted to make love with you." He said while looking at the ceiling. Hindi ko pa rin ma compose ang sarili ko dahil sa ginawa niyang kababuyan sa akin. Hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip kung ano ang nagtulak sa kanya para gawin iyon sa akin. He's been good to me ever since."I prayed that someday you'll love me just like how I do. I never imagine that I'll be doing this to you. I–I just love you Alex!" Mahinahon niyang sagot habang nakahiga pa rin at nililibot ang mga mga mata sa bawat sulok ng kisame. Wala na akong lakas para makipagtalo pa sa kanya kaya hinayaan ko lang siyang magsalita. "I'm sorry,"napaiyak siya at napasubsob sa sarili niyang mga kamay. "Ayokong gawin ito pero–pero mas ayokong mawala ka sa akin," patuloy niya habang pinupunasan ang mga luhang tu
Alex's POVIt was midnight when I slowly opened the door and checked if Ken was still outside. I looked at his room's door and the light was already off.Is he sleeping?Dahan-dahan akong bumalik sa kwarto ni Kent."Come baby," I whispered. Kinarga ko si Kent at dahan-dahang sinarado ang pintuan ng kwarto niya. Dahan-dahan akong tumapak sa hagdanan para hindi niya ako marinig. Minabuti kong hindi buksan ang ilaw sa baba para hindi niya kami mahalata kung sakaling magising siya."Mommy?" Pag-aalalang tanong ni Kent.Don't talk baby..."Shh.. Wag kang maingay, baby." Saway ko sa kanya at nakinig naman siya. Alam kong natatakot din ang anak ko sa pwedeng mangyari sa amin ngayon. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang mahigpit niya na yakap sa akin habang hawak-hawak ang maliit niyang bag.We'll be outside, baby...Finally, nasa harapan na kami ng pintuan pero di ko ito mabuksan.Why?What's wrong with the door?I opened my cellphone's flashlight and there I saw na naharangan na pala ito ng kahoy at mai
Alex's POVNakatulugan ko ang pag-iisip. Tulog pa si Kent. Hinahaplos ko ang buhok niya habang tinititigan ang maamo niyang mukha.You really look like your Dad.Sorry for not telling you the truth...I'm sorry baby, for dragging you into this mess.Dahan-dahan akong tumayo at bumaba ako ng kwarto. Masyadong tahimik ang bahay.Seems unusual...Tawag ako nang tawag kay Yaya pero walang sumasagot.Nasaan kaya siya?Hindi naman ngayon Sunday kaya alam kung hindi niya ngayon day-off. Wala din akong maalalang pinabili kay Yaya sa araw na ito.Nagpunta ako sa kusina and I saw Ken preparing the table."Good morning!"Maaliwas na salubong sa akin ni Ken.Good morning?After mo akong sampalin kahapon nakuha mo pang magsabi ng good morning?Masyado siyang masigla na siy
Ken's POVIt's been my daily routine visiting Kent. Napamahal na sa akin ang bata at parang anak na rin ang turing ko sa kanya.How I wish I could turn back time...Walang araw na hindi ko pinagsisihan ang nangyari sa amin ni Alex. Call me idiot but this is me.I still love the woman who's walking towards me.HIndi ko intensiyon ang manira ng relasyon.Hindi ko na intensiyon na manira ulit ng relasyon.I've been given another chance to love her back again before, but I still lost her on our way.I lost her, again!I know I shouldn't be thinking like this again dahil alam kong makakasira lang ito sa kung anong set-up namin ngayon. I just wanted to cheer up Kent until he's finally healed and aalis na rin ako ng Pilipinas. I need space and time to think about myself. I should be healing by now since everyone did. She still has her beautiful eyes and the curved in her face makes me flutter every time I see her.How I wish...She just gave me her beautiful smile while putting the food on t
Ken's POVI am furiously looking out in the window while Kent and Patrick are both giggling.You can't steal what's mine, Patrick!Hinding-hindi mo sila maaagaw sa akin!FlashbackI was driving home galing sa meeting ng isang client when Alex called."Alex?""Si Ken po ba ito?"An unfamiliar voice came out from the other line.Who is she?"Kayo po ba ang guardian ni Ms. Alex Garcia?"What's happening?"What happened to her?" Kinakabahang tanong ko."Nasa hospital po siya ngayon..."Dali-dali akong nag-U-turn at pinuntahan si Alex sa hospital. Hindi ako mapakali sa kakahawak ng manebela ng sasakyan ko. Gusto kong mag-overspeed pero nilalamon ako ng traffic."What happened to you, Alex?" Kinakausap ko mag-isa ang sarili ko sa nangyari. I think I am somehow responsible for what happened to her. Did I do something I'm about to regret again?What really happened to her!Patakbo akong pumasok ng hospital. Dali-dali akong pumasok sa Emergeny Room kung saan ko naabutan si Alex na umiiyak."W
Ken's POVAt some point, you just have to let go and move on. It might be the hardest thing in the world to do, but you have to summon all of the strength you possibly can to finally let go. Some people and things just aren't going to be meant for you, no matter how much you wish they were. Some jobs and situations just won't work out, no matter how much you hoped they would... But, know that it's okay for things to not work out. Nobody's life is a straight line that makes perfect sense. Everybody has twists and turns, and everyone has to turn around every now and then. So when you find yourself wishing and hoping things out of your control would change, summon all of your strength to let go and start heading in a new direction because it'll lead you closer to your true path. -Nikki BanasLetting go of the woman I only loved was the hardest decision I made. I loved her so much that I am willing to sacrifice my own happiness just to see her smiling. I don't wanna be the man who will be
Ken's POV I locked myself upstairs, feeling so unsteady. I wanted to get Patrick out of our lives, but it was the other way around. I hate seeing him around us. I hate seeing him with Kent. And I fucking hate it when I see him talking to Alex. Fuck! Fuck you, Patrick! Fuck you for everything! Flashback. We are enjoying ourselves here in Paris pero nauna akong umuwi sa Pilipinas so that I could prepare everything kapag umuwi na ng Pilipinas si Alex. I wanted to surprise her. I wanted to propose to her. It was exactly 455 days since naging kami ni Alex, our 15th months to be exact. I prepared everything to make this day as special as it could be for Alex. I invited my family and some of our close friends and some of my co-workers to witness this memorable day of ours. I set everything up perfectly. I was walking back and forth in front of the television to ease my nervousness when Mom approached me. "Don't be nervous, Son. Everything will be okay." She managed to comfort me whi
Ken's POV I hate it when someone is making Alex smile. Not another man at mas lalong hindi si Patrick. One month ago. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng meeting when Alex called me. Alex? I hurriedly answered the call. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nawawala si Kent." Nauutal siya while saying Kent is missing. "What? Why?" "I don't know... Nasa tabi ko lang siya kanina and then paglingon ko wala na siya." Pagmamadali niyang sabi. "Just come here–" "I'm on my way!" Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa pagsasalita. I excused myself from the meeting. My son's life is more important than my client's. Tinawagan ko lang ang kasama ko sa office para pumalit sa akin. Dali-dali akong bumaba sa building at pinaharorot sa pagtakbo ang kotse ko pabalik sa EK. Wait for me, Alex... It took me 15 minutes driving bago ako nakarating sa EK. I saw Alex na di mapakali sa kakalakad sa lugar kung saan ko sila iniwan ni Kent kanina. "Thanks God, you're here!" mabilis niyang sabi. I gave her my hug. "What happened?"
We all have that dream to find the guy who would perfectly love us despite our imperfections. We even adore those hunks we saw in the movies we watched and wished that one of them would be our partners for life. But everything was just an illusion.Five years ago, I had this paranoid, devastating, funny, sweet, and cheesy relationship with my first love. I can still remember our first encounter.FLASHBACK.3:00 PM during Filipino class. I was in my third year at that time. The class went boring and I suddenly felt the urge to go outside and find someone to bully.Yes! You got it right; I'm not the usual pabebe teenager during my high school days.
