“Kalix, come on! What’s wrong! Stop torturing yourself! It’s not your fault that your family died! It was her fault for being so stubborn and not asking you first!”

“Shut up, Fin, will you?” I couldn’t walk properly due to my hangover. “I hate when you nag early in the morning,” I said and grabbed a can of beer from my fridge.

“Kalix!” Fin shouted and stole the can from my hand. “I said stop it!”

I muffled and looked at her, “Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do? How the fuck did you even get in here? You have no right to tell me anything. Shut the fuck up, will you?”

I saw tears welling up in her eyes, but I didn’t care. No one, when I say no one, not even a single soul, can understand what I feel right now. The guilt that is building up every passing day, the regret I’ve been drowning in, and the misery that I have to chew on every morning.

“I’m just concerned about you. It’s not really your fault that your family died! She should have asked you first before coming to a conclu

    “James! What’s up, dude? It’s been a while, how’s life going?” I paused in sipping my drink. I saw Archie along with Silver—my college block mates. “Are you here alone, buddy?” I greeted him with a handshake.“Yeah, just buying some time, Silver,” I greeted him too. He nodded while still looking at his phone. “How are you?” I reciprocated, even though I didn’t really feel like engaging in conversation. Just a small talk will do; hopefully, they’ll leave soon.“Doing fine. Hey, James, I’ve heard some rumors,” Archie said, diverting my attention from my drink. “I won’t believe it, especially if it didn’t come from you,” his voice carried a hint of amusement and sarcasm.“I actually don’t care, Arc. People tend to gossip every time,” I replied, taking a shot of the alcohol in my hand. “Another serving,” I signaled the bartender for another round.“I mean, is it true that your third business failed again? Why was that again? You failed to maintain the good hygiene of your company? I can’t

    “What are you doing here again, J?” I couldn’t help but laugh at whatKalix said when I entered his office. My cousin was always busy, nothing new there. He was always busy, it seemed like he did nothing but work. He might as well replace the security guard of this company. “Come on, Lix, I know you like me being here. I’m the one who makes you happy while you bury yourself in your work,” I teased, but he just rolled his eyes at me and continued working at his desk. “Don’t you have a business to run, J? You’re like a mushroom, popping up out of nowhere,” I sat down in his receiving area and poured myself some tea. He always had some, of course, he’s a businessman. “Well, my secretary can handle that, and if not, he will call me,” I glanced at Kalix, took a sip of the tea, and winced a bit because it was hot. “Spill,” he suddenly said, which made me laugh. “Don’t look at me like that, it makes me shiver. I have my gun here, so don’t try anything.” “Fuck you,” I replied, raising my

    “Bossing, do you have anything for me to do? I’m so bored, I’ve cleaned every corner of the house, cooked meals for the next four days, went grocery shopping, and bossing doesn’t have work today, which means it’s my day off, but I don’t want to go out, I’m feeling lazy.“It’s your day off, Samantha. Why would I let you run some errands? We have talked about this, right?” he replied while focused on what he was watching on iflix. “Go out and breathe some fresh air.”I sighed and sat on the sofa beside him, then glanced at what he was watching. I couldn’t help but laugh. “Wow, you’re watching that, bossing? You’re so uncool, that’s for kids, how old are you, thirty? Forty?”He immediately looked at me, with accusing eyes. “You’re exaggerating! I’m only twenty-nine! I work out and take care of my body, why would you assume that I’m older than my age, huh?”I raised both my hands, still laughing. “Okay, sorry, sorry, you’re just so fierce when it comes to your age.”“It’s because, what if

    “What else do I need?” I asked Charlotte. We were at the national bookstore because I needed to buy school supplies.“Binder, like that one, ball pen,” she replied, rolling her eyes at me, while browsing through books. I had the basket, and as I roamed around, I left her there. I didn’t know what kind of magic my boss used, but two days after I agreed to go back to school, she came home last night with my certificate of enrollment.She said that to keep me away from any issues, she made me a scholar, a full scholarship. This morning, before she went to work, while I was preparing breakfast for her, she handed me her ATM and told me to buy what I needed.At first, of course, I didn’t agree. I didn’t know what I needed. I’m an undergraduate Business student, but I can’t remember why I chose t

    “Maybe you should switch faces with your cellphone screen, huh?” I ignored what James said and continued tinkering with my new phone. “It’s not for the clueless, you know.”“If I slap you right now, would you shut up? I’m quiet here, why don’t you go over there? You stink, you smell like a woman,” I retorted sharply.“Wow, you smell so nice, it’s embarrassing. There are so many girls swooning over you—”“Who told you I’m a girl? Get out!” I shouted, ready to kick him, but he stood up and quickly moved away from me. “Ugh, so annoying,” I muttered, then refocused on what I was doing.I was in Kalix’s office; he was late for his lunch, so I brought it for him. But this freak—James, that is—said he was in a meeting, so he was also waiting.“I heard you’re back to school, are you planning to cut classes already?” I rolled my eyes, took a deep breath, fate was testing me again, and the demon was here again.“Yeah, and I’ll come to tie you up,” I replied. “Yes! I retrieved it, damn it,” I had

    “How’s your second day?” Boss immediately asked as I slipped off my shoes and collapsed onto the long sofa upon finally entering. “You look exhausted. Is it really tough catching up with the lessons you’ve missed?”I nodded and shifted in my seat. “It’s not just the lessons that are challenging to grasp, but also some of my classmates, can you believe it?” I sat up and faced him as he continued to glance at his phone. “There’s this kid there, almost the same age as my sibling, just a bit older. And you know what? He’s bitter. He’s been picking on me since yesterday, but luckily, I’ve got a thick skin and a quick mind. I already know what he’s up to, so I manage to avoid him. But still…” I shifted positions, catching his attention, and he finally put away his phone. “It’s exhausting, you know? Constantly wondering if he’s going to do something or if he’s just in a bad mood. Just the thought of having to deal with him for a few months tires me out,” I slumped back onto the sofa.“But yo

    “Hey, Samantha!” I paused in writing my notes when I heard someone call my name. I looked up and saw Dexter, my classmate, waving and running over to my desk. “What are you doing?”I just nodded and smiled slightly. “Notes for the exam,” I replied briefly, but I answered his question.“Cool, would you mind if I join you here?” I just shrugged, but he didn’t meet my gaze. “Who are you having lunch with later?”“I have something to do during lunch, so I might just grab something to go,” I pointed out the rice meals around the campus. It’s a common practice, especially when you’re short on time.“Midterms is approaching, do you have the scope you have to study, since you’re a late enrollee, right?” he asked again, causing me to pause and look at him. He let out a soft laugh. “I see, still catching up? Here, I can help you with that.” He said, taking off his backpack and pulling out a sheet of yellow paper. He handed it to me. “These are the scopes, you can find them on our portal, just c

    “Okay, class dismissed,” I lazily stood up from my seat. I’ve been hungry since earlier, but I couldn’t decide what I wanted to eat. I winced as I felt a pang of pain in my abdomen, it was really uncomfortable.“Hey, Samantha!” I didn’t even bother to look back and just kept walking. “Hey, I’m calling you, why aren’t you answering—whoah! What’s with the eye bags? Looks like the panda is embarrassed for you,” he said with a smirk.“Not now, don’t joke around when I’m on my period,” I replied, continuing to walk.He walked alongside me, and because he’s well-known in the university, many people were looking at us as we walked. Most of them were probably wondering why we were together, of course, it’s an issue. But what they didn’t know is that my companion is also looking for a scapegoat, perhaps I’ll be the one to take the fall when they find out this guy’s dark secret.“And now, you’re smiling like a creepy guy or something,” the smirk faded from my face as I looked at him, his eyebro

    PAINFUL.I don’t know how to breathe, as I stare at the two of them.It feels like my chest is being squeezed because of what I’ve witnessed, and everyone there seems aware of it, smiling as if everything is okay.Why?Who is that woman?Why did she kiss Kalix?I was startled when someone suddenly touched my back and grabbed my arm.“Sweetheart, relax. Breathe,” Mrs. Cynthia’s words made me try to calm down.But no, the pain didn’t lessen; it felt like my heart was being crushed slowly.My feet moved on their own, and I quickly left the place. I kept my gaze on the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes.When I managed to get into the elevator, tears started streaming down my face. How could this happen? I didn’t even think something like this was possible.I quickly exited the elevator and left the building. My mind was in chaos, my heart breaking into pieces.Is Kalix playing with me? Why? Is it because I’m foolish and easy to deceive? Is it because I’m dumb, is that why—For some unkn

    ShitMy head hurts, I’m sleepy, and it feels like I’m about to collapse any moment.“You know, you should sleep. Even a robot overheats, and you’re just a person who looks somewhat human.”“Damn it, you Dexter!”He chuckled and then grabbed the straw from his iced americano. We were currently at the park, our class was canceled at the last minute because our professor had an urgent appointment, and our next class was at five in the afternoon, even though it was only eleven.“Why don’t we hang out at Fatima? We could go hunting for boys, what do you think?”I frowned and looked at him, “Are you sure about that? You’re even better-looking than the guys there; they might end up hunting you instead.”I saw his expression change, “You know, your frappe isn’t finished yet. Maybe I should just pour it on you?”“No, thanks.”“Hmp, anyway,” he took out a small paper bag from his bag and handed it to me, “Here, I forgot to give this to you.”“Wow, you actually went through the trouble, you shou

    “Wait, how did you manage this after coming from work?” I asked while cutting the steak that he apparently cooked himself.“I lied,” he immediately replied, “After you left, I came home and prepared everything.”“Just you?” He nodded. “How did you know I left—” I stopped when I realized how he knew, “What a clever drag queen.”“Yeah, I asked him to do it, don’t worry. I asked him to buy me some time so I could prepare everything.”“Wow,” was my only reply as I savored the steak. It felt familiar yet not quite, “This is delicious, Lix! So you’re really good at cooking,” I exclaimed, remembering the epic porridge he made.“I was just panicking when I made that awful porridge! I didn’t know it wasn’t on low heat!” he said with irritation, glaring at me and cutting his defenseless steak.“Oh, sorry, calm down!” I said with a laugh, “I know, you were just panicking.”“Ugh,”“Hahahahahaha!”I was completely stuffed.Lord, it’s so nice to live like this. I had three steaks, two bruschettas,

    “This woman is my fiancé, hey, sheesh, I didn’t expect this. Wait, I stepped on your hair, Naya!”I just rolled my eyes but still laughed while listening to Dex’s teasing set up.She was in my room, so she could speak freely. I also made it clear to Kalix that my new friend was looking for a man as well, so there’s no need to worry because he’s even more reserved with me. Kalix also called and said he’d make it up to me at dinner later and that he would cook because he hadn’t been home for almost two days due to his many meetings.“You stepped on my hair,” I complained, so I got a smack on the arm. “Damn it, hey Dexter! It still hurts even though you’re a man, you’re still a man!”“Don’t get all dramatic with me now, Naya Feliciano! Especially now that I’m shaking with envy, I might misjudge and hit you!”I just laughed and continued working on my case study. Since Dex wasn’t in my class for this course unit, she took a different subject.“But seriously, what’s the status between you

    “Why is your phone turned off? I told you many times to keep your line open, didn’t I?” I can’t count how many times he has scolded me since we got home while applying ointment to my bruises.He’s been wanting to take me to the hospital to make sure I didn’t break anything or anything, but I said I didn’t want to and just wanted to go home.“I didn’t turn it off…” I couldn’t continue what I was going to say because it felt like something was stuck in my throat, and I felt like I was going to choke.“I’m sorry, I’m just worried, I can’t contact you, I’m sorry, I raised my voice,” this time, his voice was soft, he gently pulled me close and hugged me, “I was so fucking worried when I heard the news,”He didn’t need to say what it was because I already knew. I spent several sleepless nights over that issue.“Why didn’t you tell me about this?”“I didn’t know how to tell you, and you were also busy with other things—”“You should have told me immediately, you don’t have to carry the burde

    A few hours later, I forced myself to attend my last class before heading straight home.Dex didn’t ask any questions and just texted me to call him if I needed to unwind. He’s really crazy, but I’m thankful because at least someone stayed by my side through all this.I was cooking dinner because Kalix said he would be coming home. Yes, Kalix, because he doesn’t want to be called “sir” anymore. He gives me that look.I heard the door open, and I managed a faint smile as I turned off the stove.“Oh, shit!” I almost dropped the ladle in surprise when someone suddenly kissed my cheek and wrapped their arms around my waist.“I missed you,” his tired voice was evident, so I looked at him. I could see the happiness in his eyes, his necktie loosened, and his coat draped over his shoulder.“You came just in time; let’s eat. I cooked your favorite—” I didn’t finish my sentence as he suddenly kissed me, and I had to hold onto his shoulders. “Hmph!” I pushed him slightly.“Pft,” he stifled a lau

    Is this really how people think? Like they have no capacity for their own decisions.They believe everything fed to them? I guess people prefer to have something to talk about rather than figuring out if it’s true or not. It’s easier to believe than to investigate.How could people be this cruel? Ruining others’ mental well-being?Since I saw those pictures yesterday, I realized why people have been looking at me the way they do.Judgmental.Insulting.I just wanted to disappear at that exact moment. Two days. Two days since I learned about the spreading rumors in school.I thought that if I got into an exclusive school, there would be no gossipers, no busybodies, and no bad behavior.Maybe due to my lack of knowledge about such things, I hoped this would be a fresh start for me.No tears fell from my eyes as I stared into the void at Pacio Lake. It’s a famous lake here, an hour away from the school.I still have one class left today, but I don’t want to hang around there; I don’t wan

    “Are you okay, Naya?” I dropped my pen because someone suddenly tapped my shoulder. “If daydreaming could make you rich, you’d already be in outer space buying your own planet.”“Damn you, Dex,” I replied, picking up my pen. We were in the library, and unfortunately, he spotted me staring off into space in a corner.“What’s bothering you?” He couldn’t help but ask as he played with the pages of the book I had picked up earlier.“Nothing, it’s just that the students seemed to be looking at me strangely when I walked in earlier. You know, like they recognize me or something?”He frowned. “What are you, a celebrity? It’s just your imagination. Stop being paranoid.”I gave him a look and tapped his arm. He acted like I had hit him with a hammer.“You ask questions and then answer like that? What if I hit you?”He grinned like a dog and flashed me a peace sign. He really is a piece of work.I just continued reading, and he kept bothering me, so in the end, I just chatted with him.“Oh, exc

    R-18“Uh,” I didn’t know where to turn my head.“You’re a very bad girl, Naya, you’re already wet,”Even with my eyes closed, I managed to get annoyed. “Can you do that later? You keep speaking in English, it’s distracting, honestly. I need to think about how to respond to you.”I heard his soft chuckle, so I opened my eyes, but it seemed wrong. My eyes widened when I saw a sergeant in front of me, still saluting!I felt embarrassed and tried to cover my exposed body.I couldn’t explain his expression. It must be what they call a “dark look.”“Very beautiful,” I heard him say, suddenly grabbing my face and kissing me. “Do you want me to stop, Naya? You should tell me now, because if not, I won’t be able to stop later.” His voice was ragged, controlling, and deep.He seemed to be struggling to breathe due to the intense restraint. I could even hear his clenched jaw and gritting teeth.I didn’t respond and just looked at him, feeling something in my lower abdomen wanting to come out, a
