"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been cleared to land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Please make sure one last time your seat belt is securely fastened. The flight attendants are currently passing around the cabin to make a final compliance check and pick up any remaining cups and glasses. Thank you."I swiftly put on my Ray-Ban aviator when I heard the public address announcement. I looked at the window beside me and saw the familiar view of Metro Manila. I gulped and inhaled heavily as I try not to tremble while examining the view. After five years .. it's still the same.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Cebu Pacific air welcomes you to Manila. On behalf of your Flight Deck Crew headed by Captain Bildan, with first officer Berches and the rest of the team, we thank you for choosing Cebu Pacific, your Airline of choice. We are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice day. "I heard the flight attendant'
"Happy birthday!"I just looked at her lazily and didn't even bother myself to reply. She rolled her eyes at me and my eyes widened in shock when she cling her arms on mine, making us look so close together. Kairita."Tsk," I tried to pull my hands away but she locked it even harder in her arms so I just sighed and boredly shook my head. What a nuisance."Come on! The amount of visitors you have on the chin!""I don't want to go there." I said and stared directly at Molina's brown eyes. Unlike mine that's dark and expressionless, she has a pair of expressive brown eyes that looks softie and happy.She frowned, "What? No way! Today is your birthday, come out and don't just take blood and sleep!"Molina is a .. I don't know if she's my friend, I don't even know what's friend is for. Just when I came here four months ago he was also often here at the mansion. All I knew was that he was Lea's friend and they had two more with them that I had never met.One of them was allegedly followed b
"I'll treat you guys to a drink if Sadie will call me 'kuya'." (Kuya means brother in Filipino) Sage joked as they talked with his bandmates."How is ut possible for her to call you brother when she's not even calling your brother Loren that?" Andrei replied.There are plates of food on their table and there are also a few beers but the hard drinks have not been released yet because it looks like it will be tonight."You know you should black mail her, before she could take blood, tell her to call you 'kuya' first hahaha!" Vincent sighed sipping a glass of beer.I winced at what he said and watched them as they had fun. Ricci was also at their table who was quiet but laughed every time they joked. Luke was also there but just stared at his glass and seemed to have a world of his own.My attention was focused on his eyes. Something in his eyes is telling me that he's bothered by something. That he was carrying something heavy and that did not escape my observation.You know, I'm usuall
We are eating our breakfast today in our dinning table. Gavin, Lea, Celine and Cohen are still here. Loren is gone because he has a duty at the hospital in this early and daddy is not awake yet.They were talking about Sage’s lovelife that he wasn’t telling us when I voiced out what was running through my mind."How do you think the parasites got into the poop?""What the fuck ?!" Lea complained and almost choked on the juice she was drinking.I raised an eyebrow at Sage who is coughing now because he must have choked on the food he ate. Celine averted her eyes and tried to smile at Cohen. What the hell is their problem?"Save that later Sadie, we're eating." Gavin replied raising both my eyebrows. I grinned slightly and watched them lose their appetite."She should be glad it was your birthday yesterday." Sage whispered to Gavin that I just ignored him. Maybe I should ask Loren later through the phone.Now Lea and Gavin are back in Manila. Celine and Cohen will also go home to the Ro
"Wait, are you the one who called me earlier? The blood thing?" He asked confused.I heard Sage's footsteps approaching so I didn't answer first. "Oh, Luke, what's up—""Bro, tell your sister that she's creepiest person I've ever met." Luke said immediately and turned away from us. We let him walk away.Sage frowned as he wondered what Luke had done. When he turned to me his eyes were accusatory."What did you do to him?" He asked as if I could kill his friend.I raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "I was just asking for some blood," I defended which caused him to burst out laughing. The transition of this shithead ..I folded my arms and watched him narrow his eyes with laughter. He was still clapping so he looked even more stupid in my eyes."Jesus, Sadie, I'm sure you didn't even start the conversation the right way. Go tell him to have breakfast with us." He ordered and patted my shoulder so I stared at him and let him go.I looked at the large door where Luke came out and quickly blo
Luke returned wearing personal protective equipment. Sir Bartolome turned alert when the students outside made loud noises again."Hi Luke!""Omg, he's Sadie's patient?""Good luck!"When Luke closed the door, the noise eased a bit. Luke smiled shyly at the female professor and quickly nodded at him."Come in, come in," he gestured to Luke the chair next to me with a smile and I winced because of that.Luke sat down on the chair and placed his left hand on the arm rest because his right hand had a tattoo. The root can still be seen there, but since the venipuncture only had to be demonstrated in front of sir once, I was there without a tattoo and it was much easier."Okay, okay, start!"Luke looked at me as he waited for me to start. I averted my gaze and fumbled for the white towel to put under his hand. I grabbed his hand to lay the towel on the armrest and put his hand back there."Good morning, I'm Sadie from 4-A. Today I'll be drawing blood from you, what's your name?" I had no a
"Isn't that too much?,""Why? you can't afford it?" I was bored when he questioned the number of piercings I had taken. I no longer thought and looked at the price. I just picked up the earrings I liked."I can. But will you really wear all that—""And you care because? You want me to forgive you, don't you? Why are you complaining?"I explosively placed the piercings on the transparent glass counter top which I think where we will pay off. Because there were silver and high quality stainless steels earrings clinking so the two men looking at us were shocked.Luke blinked and his lips parted as he resisted my heavy gaze. He seemed surprised at what I said and did so I raised an eyebrow at him. Finally he sighed and nodded softly."Alright, sorry."I stared at him and folded my arms in front of the counter where there was still no one to take care of my pieces. I was surprised to see those two men and when our eyes met they almost pushed each other to insist on who would take our payme
Just as Luke said, he left before Monday and flew to Palawan. I don't know the reason why he was so anxious to leave, is he hiding something?It's been a week since that day and he still hasn't come home. I don't know, I just really remember him every time I wear piercings after school.Renovation of Sage’s studio on the second floor began on Monday and by next month it will definitely be finished. I don't ask him what the reason is but it looks like they will return to playing. It stopped then because Sage was in trouble in El Nido. I think it has something to do with his girl there, I heard he's going back and forth there e.Luke also can't be fixed here so they decided to postpone the playing for personal reasons — which is I don't know anymore.It's Friday and my class is early so I also left the mansion early. I only wore a white round neck shirt and high waist denim jeans because LCIU students don't have uniforms. Our lab coat is only worn when we enter the lab or when needed.I
THE WEDDINGThe words ‘I can’t believe it’s happening’ are scratching, but that’s how I really feel.Holding a pile of Gladiolus flowers in my hand I quietly waited outside the church. I no longer bowed to my glittering wedding gown, because the glitter of my eyes made me feel dizzy. I was contemplating with myself if I should grit my teeth or tighten my grip on the flowers. I'm so nervous and happy.I was standing behind the church's huge door with sister Celine and brother Loren. They were quietly looking at me, checking if I'm all done or there's anything I need."Just shut up you both." I told them because I'm already so nervous and I couldn't manage to dive in their conversation.They both laughed and ate Celine hugged me."I'm so happy for you, Sadie .."I smiled and let her. "Thank you .."And just when the wedding coordinator signaled us that the door's about to open, ate Celine let go of me and fixed my vail."This is it," she whispered enthusiastically.I nodded and inhaled
"Motherfucker! Look what you did, you monster! You're worse than an animal, Raysita! How can you kill people ?! How can you do that to her, huh ?!" In my anger, I could no longer control myself when I strangled him. I could see the fear in his eyes as he looked at me."I-I-" He couldn't speak anymore because of the excessive stress of my strangulation on him. My eyesight darkened because I no longer needed evidence to prove that he also killed Sadie's father. He himself!"I'm gonna kill you with my own two hands, you devil-" I released him when a hard object hit my head. All went black after that. I just woke up unable to move my legs because they were full of blood. I saw my knees almost wrecked and my mom with blood on her face.My eyes widened. "Ma!" I called her but she won't respond. I was nervous about what had happened to him. Our hands were tied and I think they were slapping my knees so I couldn’t escape. I close my eyes in pain when I try to move you."If I were you, I would
Hello! This is the Epilogue. Thank you for being with me through thick and thin! I will end this story with a sound heart thanks to all of you. Let's all be a scar carved beautifully on someone's memory! You can play the instrumental background of beautiful scars above for better reading.—————"AAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU LUKE!""OH MY GSH! LUKE, MY SON!""WE LOVE YOU LUUUUUUUUKE!"I smirked upon hearing hours but remained composed to not mess up. I am already so nervous about singing this song in public for the first time alone, I can't fuck it up."So .. I'll have a solo number for tonight. This song is for those who feel burdened and chased by their past. For those scars that haven't been healed, for those misplaced hatred you shed to yourself." I licked my lips. Wherever you are, this song is for you, babe. I hope you come back very soon. I've been waiting, dreaming about seeing you so soon.I closed my eyes as I strum my guitar before singing the first verse of the song I made for her
3 YEARS LATERMy eyes slowly went down to search for Moli's wrists. I smiled seeing her, again, smooth and spotless skin. I can't help but to feel proud with the fact that I made that. I was able to successfully remove her scars as my specialty.It was understandable that she wanted to get rid of them, since it reminds her of how much she wanted to end her life back then, and I'm happy I took part to help her bring that genuine smile back on her lips again."Baby, look, mom is here .."I looked down at the boy with him. She gently held the little girl's delicate hands, and when her eyes went to me, she smiled in an instant. My heart pounded."Mother!" The three year old beautiful girl excitedly went to me.I crouched and bent my knees enough to level her head. He ran quickly and greeted me with a hug."Hey, Micah," I greeted and caressed her back.When he left he looked at me with a smile. "We're waiting for daddy ..." he explained.I raised an eyebrow and ruffled her hair. I turned t
I was right. It was awkward when older brother Larry went out of the limousine to open my door. Now, all the other people outside are gawking at me. Even my dress is not suitable in this place!Some officers guarding the jail came out. They would have almost saluted if they hadn't seen me right away. Surprise filled their faces and I was even surprised when the bodyguards followed me. I look even more like the first lady of the country!The guards automatically scattered themselves to cover my space. As a result, people drifted away and became more and more curious. Even though I wanted to be ashamed of my scar, I just walked in high up."G-good morning, ma'am, who are they?" Asked a policeman. He even glanced at my tattoo. I looked at him."I'm here to visit someone. Where should I log?" I asked coldly.Their eyes widened and they immediately searched the logbook somewhere. When they found it another pounded it before giving it to me."B-ballpen! Ballpen speed!""Here's a ballpen!"I
Cw: Physical harm.A hot tear escaped from my right eye as I shut it closed. Luke .. I'm so sorry ..I forced myself to stay awake. I know I can stay conscious. It's not that fast to lose consciousness if chloroform is the cause. I just let my eyes close because that was a headache. Stunning.I frowned and moaned softly. Right, my phone! I strained to open my eyes and reached for my bag. I still can't get up. I feel very heavy in my head and body. Even so, I frowned as I pulled out my bag. I need to call anyone to get myself out of here. I won't let him just get it!I opened the zipper and inserted my hand. I was searching for my phone without looking at it when a harsh bump from the back made the car almost fly!"Ah!" I screamed as I fell to the backseat floor. My head hit the floor of the car and it hurt even more."Putangina, who is this ?!" I heard Benjie's salt and he forced the car to start again.I can no longer paint my face. Holding my head, I forced myself to get up. Whoever
I woke up with Luke next to me. Since I didn’t close the balcony curtain, light from the sunlight entered us.I can already hear the violent crash of the waves on the beach. My body was still weakening when I realized we were both hugging. My cheeks immediately warmed up when I remembered what happened last night.I almost squeezed my face into his chest out of embarrassment. Did I really .. initiated it? And I even threatened to call Vincent last night just so he would agree! Oh my God, I even confessed that I missed him! I closed my eyes tightly and squeezed him. He hugged me tightly and moaned softly.I stopped moving so he wouldn't wake up. I grabbed the comforter and lifted it slightly to peek at our bodies. He's on his boxer shorts and I'm already wearing a white laced panty. My forehead furrowed because I don't remember wearing it last night.I was so tired of the four rounds we did. And he's not really tired! I even had to beg him to stop because I'm already sore with all the
Matured content ahead, read at your own risk. With so much heat and shame I was feeling, I couldn’t say goodbye when I ran out of there. I went down to the second floor and was about to go straight to my room when I realized that Luke might just go there and I had no choice but to let him in from the bathroom or the balcony. Argh. I went down to the first floor and came to the quiet living room. Sister Celine and brother Loren are already in the room, as is their son. It's getting early and the maids are definitely resting. I slowly exited the rest house and surveyed the dark sea. I took a deep breath and walked towards it. There are no people and maybe they won't come down here because of too much drunkenness. I swallowed and slowly took off my white t-shirt. I also took off my shorts and removed the pinch of my hair. I stored my undresses on the side of the beach that would not be wet. I looked out at the sea and was no longer afraid to go down. When the cold water hit my feet, m
The wedding was held in a private open space in Seda Lio, a five-star luxury hotel here in El Nido. For an atheist like me .. this is my second time attending a catholic wedding. Not bad. Nothing offensive.It's only now that I realize that all the guests and their coordinators stayed here except us because we were there at Lea's rest house.Lea's rest house is more comfy and more open to the beach, while this hotel screams luxury and class. I arched my brow as I scanned the couple on the stage made altar.Now that I saw Tatiana again, I immediately recognized her. She really is a supermodel. I used to see him often in magazines and billboards in Australia, even in the Philippines. She is always on the runway and fashion shows of well -known luxury brands. It didn't immediately register in my brain that she was Lea's older brother's girlfriend.There's no doubt she's one of the highest paid models in her generation. She's tall, very white and all her curves in their right places. I he
