"It's Lonch's birthday, Wave. I'm bored to go upstairs with my cousins so I decided to stay at the pool area. Lonch told me something while he's beside Magen. Hindi ko alam, his charisma want me to worship him! Ang gwapo at ang linis tingnan even the way he looked at me feels like I'm in danger. Nakakatakot siya tumingin but still... you know ewan," Kwento ko kay Wave habang pinupunasan ang screen ng laptop ko.Nagvivideo call kami at nakapwesto ako sa veranda. Prenteng nakapatong ang laptop ko sa marmol na lamesa dito. We always like this if we have some free time. I saw how his brows furrowed while playing his lips. He looks expensive too! Tumayo ako saglit ang kinuha ang hair brush ko na nakapatong sa side table ng kama ko."He's not your type..." agad akong natigilan dahil sa mahinahon ngunit may pagtataka niyang boses. "Most of your exes are funny when you meet them." He added.I sat again on my chair and brush my long hair. "Yes, that's why I can't understand too! You know I mos
@iHeartHello babe, your beautiful girlfriend is now awake.When I hit the send button I immediately bit my lower lips as if I'm stepping on my own grave. I can't help it! Nanlaki ang mata ko, he just seen my message! He's active on instagram but he just seenzone me without saying hello too?! It's 10 o'clock in the morning and the first thing I did was to send him a direct message on instagram but he just ignored me?@iHeartAre you busy? Okay, I got it! Ingat ka mwuah!Ngumuso na lang ako ng biglang mag-active 1 minute ago ang active status niya. I just pouted when I put my cellphone on side table of my bed. I cover my body using a white blanket. I'm just wearing my simple night pajama as I stare at my phone screen and waiting for his reply even I know that he didn't."Heart!" I rolled my eyes when the door of my room opened and my cousin Hailey appeared.Where is my privacy?! They keep on going here without asking for my permission!"What?!" I hissed and closed my eyes.He just real
"Bakit ka nandito?"Agad akong napatingin kay Anica na nakataas ang kilay sa 'kin. I fixed some of the strands of her hair that covered her face. I rolled my eyes when she raised her brows again waiting for my answer. She gave me my order, It was a oreo frappucino without espresso."I'm craving for this.." I lied when I looked at my order.She didn't buy my answer and just raised her brows again "Bakit gan'yan outfit mo? Miracle? Ang pagbabago?" She sarcastically asked.I'm wearing a simple maroon t-shirt and a levis jeans partnered with my chunky boots. I held my small bag strap before giving her a playful smile. I was wearing a simple makeup too... just a red liptint and cheek tint also a powder."I just want.." I simply said and turned my back."Mama mo want..." she mocked.Actually, I was here because of Magen. I know that he's here. I sat at the vacant chair and table. I put my elbow on the top of table as I stare at Magen's office. Simula ng lumabas siya ng unit niya at iwan ak
I was staring at the windshield. It's been an hour with this super silent road trip. I looked at Magen. Mukhang wala rin talaga siyang balak na kausapin ako. I looked back at the road when in a few minutes a three policeman sign a stop. I looked at Magen, his brows immediately furrowed when he give me a quick glance. He just shrugged before looking at the rear mirror and finally stopped the car."What's wrong?" I asked him, worriedly.Hindi niya ako pinansin at binaba na lang ang bintana nitong kotse. He nodded at the police."Lisensya mo..." the police said and handed his hand.I saw Magen's forehead furrowed "Why?""Over speed..." walang gana na sagot ng pulis.Agad naman nagsalubong ang kilay ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Magen didn't over speed! I looked around to find a cctv."Miss ganda, tingin mo ba dito kami rorota kung may CCTV?" Bumaling siya ulit kay Magen na seryoso ang itsura "Ibigay mo na ang lisensya mo,"The other police laughed and tapped the shoulder of the police "H'wag
"Akala ko ba secret lang?" I asked Magen when he sat beside me.We're here seating on their sofa. Bahagya pang umuga dahil sa pag-upo niya. He's looking at his phone. He type something, right now he's wearing a simple white t-shirt and jersey short. He looks fresh while me is still wearing this outfit."Liza will always stay here in Cavite. Hindi naman pupunta 'yon ng Manila dahil hindi 'yon mahilig lumabas. Our secret is safe with her," he answered, still typing something.I nodded and moved beside him. I leaned my head on his shoulder. Mukhang hindi naman siya nagulat dahil hinayaan niya lang ako. I can smell his manly scent! I bit my lower lips because of my fluttering heart. He didn't shout at me. I don't know if this is my hobby? I always leaned on the shoulder of my boyfriend. Like, Wave and Hanzel. Hanzel is my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me and the one staying with the same building with us. I was lucky because I didn't see him around. When me and Wave broke up after a months
"Huy! Kabog ka," natatawang sabi ko at dinuro pa si Mint. He raised his brows before rolling his eyes. I looked at Liza, humihikab siya."Do I look like I'm joking? Kung hindi galit si Kuya kay Papa baka hanggang ngayon nandito parin kami sa Cavite..." he mocked like a kid.So, Cavite is their hometown eversince huh? Dito rin kaya sila pinanganak? Or lumipat lang sila dito? I sighed before looking at my nails. Actually, it's not my first time here. Wave have a house here at Bacoor and Munchy is staying here too. I'll visit her tomorrow or after tomorrow."By the way, nagcommute ka? It's late na. Pinabyahe ka pa ni Magen," I pouted as I look at him.It's already 11:14 PM!He made a puppy eyes "I have car..." mayabang niyang sabi kaya napairap ako.I know, as he said their Dad is the C.E.O of VLFN Holdings, Inc. As far as I know, they handling the Mingen Group Corporation which is a wine and beer products and they also owned the VLFN Bank of the Philippines! Imagine the amount of money
I'm really inlove with Magen and I can't deny it. I was hurt by loving him and I'm aware with that but still I'm hoping that this love turn into wonderful privileges. I hope that this love will lead me to a serene path. Kung saan ay tahimik at maayos. Kung saan walang pag-iyak at pagluha. Kung saan walang nakakapagod at nagpapapagod.I love him and I'm still willing to take the risk by loving him. Loving someone looks like choosing a color that you want to mixed with another one. For me, love is like a white color in palette. Once we look at it because of our own judgement or own sided then it's hard to figure out the essential of it but when we look at the both side or another judgement then we will find that it's not useless. Na... ah, mahalaga rin pala 'to. Color white, we thought it just useless or not capable on giving us benefit but in another way it was very important because that was the one who makes everything beautiful.Sa pagmamahal kapag tayo ay nasasaktan we will always
It's hard to forgive someone who cheated. The scars and wounds are very hard to heal. You can forgive someone but you will never forget what he did to you. It's hard especially when you saw it cleary. That the person who trusted you once, cheated."Stay," Hanzel stopped me when I was about to go out.I stare at him, hindi na siya sobrang putla sa ngayon. Tita and Tito thanked me for bringing Hanz here. Hanzel looked at his parents and it's a signal for them. I know Hanzel want to talk to me. I can sense it with his gaze. His eyes is telling something."I need to go home at Manchy's condo. Wala siyang kasama do'n," I said seriously.Nakipaglabanan pa ako ng titigan sa kaniya. He smiled weakly, bitterly. I know Hanz with the months passed by with him. I knew how much he loves me but maybe that love is not enough to go on and try again.In the other side, I think about Magen. I knew... I saw too how Magen cheated. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit nagawa ko parin humanap ng dahilan para mapa
Dawn Magen's POV"Just sign the annulment paper! I want our marriage to be void!" malakas na sigaw ni Papa.Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. Mukha kasing nag-aaway na naman sila. I don't know what is the reason behind this. Ilang beses kona naririnig kay Papa ang pare-parehong sigaw na 'yon t'wing uuwi ako galing school. Mabuti nalang at maaga akong umuuwi kaysa kay Mint. Ayaw kong makita niyang ganito sila Mama.I'm still in Grade 5 and Mint is grade 1. Mas matanda ako sa kaniya ng limang taon. Masyado pa siyang bata para maguluhan sa nangyayari.Umatras ako palayo at bumalik sa gate. Ilang beses pa akong bumuntonghininga para makakuha ng lakas para makapagsalita."Mama!" malakas kong sigaw at pilit na ngumiti. "Sunduin na raw si Mint maya-maya sabi nung teacher niya! Nagugutom na po ako!" I added.Napalunok ako at malakas na kumatok sa pintuan ng kwarto nila. Nakuyom ko ang aking palad nang makita si Papa na ngumiti sa'kin. He is trying to end our family? Why?"Pa! Sunduin mo nga
They said was let the windblown you in any direction because love is like a wind. Ang pagmahahal ay mararamdaman natin pero kadalasan ay hindi natin nakikita because we are all blinded with all buts and what-ifs. Like, you love someone but... Someone loves you but.... and also You love someone, what if... Someone loves you, what if...We all chose to take a grip on the buts and what-ifs in our mind because of one reason. Iyon ay dahil natatakot tayong masaktan at umiyak. We are scared to experience strife, struggles, and failures so we kept on looking for possible preventive thoughts. Kasi gano'n naman talaga... gano'n naman talaga dapat.Sino ba ang hindi takot na masaktan at umiyak ng paulit-ulit because of someone? Who want to have a sleepless night? Who want to have a miserable life?The stiff breeze of salty air from the facade of the ocean kept on sweeping. Madilim na ang paligid kaya ang iilan na ilaw galing sa mga cottage ay nakabukas. The sunset is waving, beautifully.L
Time flies so fast, It's been a week since the video got viral. It's no big deal for me and my parents anymore. Maybe, we know if when we make that big deal that means we will be defeated by them.Well, I received many death threats from Tamara's fanbase. They ship Magen to Tamara easily! Ang daming kumakalat sa mga social media na mga edited pictures nila. Hanggang edit lang naman!They attacked me too, they message me on every social media account that I have! Kung ano-ano ang mga pinagsasabi nila and I just seen their messages. Minsan naiinis ako at gusto ko sila replyan but I don't want to join their clan. The keyboard warriors clan. So, it funny how I pissed them because they know that I didn't care at all. Go on... do whatever you want. The level of this issue is only on the lower part and it will puff nothing away from my previous experiences."Stop accepting that death threats," mahinahon na sabi ni Magen.I lifted my head when he entered my condo. Well, we want to catch up. Hin
"Miya, umuwi ka muna," napahilamos ako sa aking mukha.Nandito kami ngayon sa dining area. Nakaupo sa aking tapat si Hanz na katabi ni Miya. They offered a glass of water but I refused."Dito lang muna ako..." pilit niya na kinatango ko nalang.Napahilot ako sa sintido ko bago ipatong sa lamesa ang aking siko. I don't know what to do next and I don't want to do anything because I'm exhausted."Hayaan mo hanggang ngayong month nalang din ang contract ni Tamara sa Cole clothing. I'll never renew it. Lagi niya rin kasi inaaway si Chacha," Hanz uttered, softly.Hindi ko nalang pinansin ang sinabi niya. I don't want to hear even her name. I'm pissed because of her childish act. Wala naman akong gagawin na masama kung talagang sila ni Magen. I'm not that desperate anymore to beg for his love. Kung kami ay kami! Kung sila ay sila! I don't need to sugarcoat anything just to ease this feeling. I'm dissappointed and I admit it. Magen dissappoint me again."Bakit ka nandito?" mahinahon kong tano
Umiwas ako ng tingin at bumuntong hininga. I heard my cousins' giggles like they want what they heard. Tinutukso nila ako gamit ang tingin nila sa akin kaya mas lalo akong namula. Hindi na ako umimik kasi ayaw ko na patulan ang mga pang-aasar nila. I know that this time I can't win. They're good at teasing me to Magen at kahit baliktarin kopa ang lamesa na ito ay hindi ako mananalo."Gan'to, paunahan na makarating sa dulo ta's kailangan makuha 'yung red na ribbon na nakapatong sa dulo pero..." pagbitin ni Lami. "Kailangan na by partner then yung isa ay siya ang lalangoy ta's 'yung isa naman ay pabigat lang gano'n. So, papasan or kakapit 'yung isa sa likuran nung lalangoy.I don't want that idea since they're looking at me and Magen. They look like a push over."I don't want to---""Ang kj!" sabay sabay nilang sigaw.Narinig ko ang tawanan ng mga magulang namin. I just take a deep breath and nodded. Alam ko kung sino ang ipapartner nila sa akin dahil humawak na agad sila sa mga kapatid
He is wearing his usual black tshirt and cargo short partnered with his loafers. Hindi ako makagalaw habang pinapakatitigan ang maamo niyang mukha. Wala halos nagbago sa kaniya at kung mayroon man ay mas lalo lang siyang naging perpekto. I can't find any words. Ang malalim at maganda niyang mata ay pinapalambot ang expression niya. He formed his lips into a thin line before smiling like everything is alright. I avoided his lovable gaze and started to take a step. Palayo sa kaniya... dahil doon naman ako magaling. Ang lumayo kapag alam kong delikado na.It's been a years but still.. he is the one. No one can blame me about this, like.. what the hell?! It's been a years! Matagal na 'yon at impossibleng siya at siya parin ang gusto ko dahil.... walang impossible sa taong nagmamahal.Katulad ng isang maliwanag na buwan sa madilim na kalangitan... bumabalik at bumabalik parin."Heart!" my Mom called me as I got near them. Napatingin din sa gawi ko si Dad at sila Tito at Tita. I can't help
Napatingin ako sa mga alon na naghahampasan at gumagawa ng ingay. Ang malamig na hangin ay dinama ko nang dumampi ang mga 'to sa aking balat. Napangiti ako na umupo sa buhangin at pinagmasdan ang paligid. The smiles on the lips of everyone didn't fade they look happier while laughing and playing with their friends and families. I can't help but smile too before hugging myself. Sitting here feels good."Layuan niyo ako!"My eyes swelled before looking around. My heart pounds so fast while looking at the girl. She stepped back and the waves were already splashing his foot. There are two men around her. The first one is on her right side wearing a white T-shirt and jersey short while the other one is on the left side that is topless and wearing red basketball shorts. Suddenly my eyes landed on the woman wearing a silk dress and holding the hem of her dress so as not to be blown away by the wind. She is wearing her eyeglasses reason why I can't see her eyes and the length of her hair is s
Over the past few weeks my life has become quiet and some days I can hear the laughter of demons in my ears again. It's so hard because I don't know how long they will keep hunting me. Wala rin akong masyadong kinakausap kahit na umaakto silang lahat dito sa bahay na masigla. Halos lahat ng pinsan ko ay nandito pwera lang kay Hailey. Mom and Dad always peek at me in the bedroom every hour.I promised them one thing. that I don't even have to think about ending my life because I know it's all happening because there's a reason. My life matters in a different way. Ayaw kong tapusin 'yon ng dahil sa mga masasamang nangyari.I don't fancy ending my life. This world is chock-full of failure, strifes, and defeats but this is also a paradise and utopia. I'm exhausted of everything and I don't aspire to unite more suicidal and lethal solicitudes to my mind and soul. I must fight because I knew I was in the cryptic part of my journey and I was sure that there was a light waiting for me at the
---Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko at malakas na napasigaw. Umiling-iling na baka sakaling sa pag-iling ko ay maglaho ang mga tawanan na naririnig ko. I cried while running somewhere. Hindi ko na rin maintindihan ang malakas na pagkalabog ng dibdib ko. Hinihingal at namamawis na ako pero hindi ko parin alam kung paano tatakas ang mga tinig."Happy birthday!" Pumalakpak pa si Mom when my Dad exploded confetti on the air. I just shook my head and ignored them. I saw that they were next to Magen and my cousins but not Hailey. Tama lang! Dahil ayaw ko muna siya makita! Nagtama ang mga mata namin ni Magen na agad kong iniwasan. I restrained myself from approaching him and asking if he had treated the bruises on his face. Gusto ko siyang lapitan at yakapin. Gusto ko siyang kausapin pero pinipigilan ko hanggang sa makaya ko.Ngayon ko lang nakita ang hawak niyang cake na three layers. May mga bitbit din na mga refalo para sa akin. Alam kong naghanda sila para ngayon at nagbabakasali na magiging
