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—

    “You like this? Hmm?” I didn’t know her voice could be this sexy.“Ahh..” I couldn’t help but squirm from the sensation enveloping my body. I didn’t know, because I’ve never experienced this in my whole life, not until now!“I see, you like finger fucking, huh?” He quickened the pace of inserting and withdrawing his three fingers from my opening, “I am the only person who will do this to you, do you understand?”“Ahhhh, yes,” I couldn’t control what came out of my mouth, everything sounded like moans, I tightly gripped the bed sheet, and one was in his hand, I opened my eyes, and saw him feasting his eyes on my nudity now.I suddenly felt embarrassed and tried to cover my chest, and close my thighs, but he immediately stopped me, “Don’t, it’s beautiful,” he whispered and trailed his hand all over my body, “How did I fucking miss this kind of body?”I felt something hard against my side, my eyes widened when I saw what it was, “What, uh, your, uh, it’s hard..”I heard his soft laugh, “Y

    “Sorry, I mean, who are you?” It felt like I was stabbed with her response. My greatest fear had come true; she had forgotten me. “Do I know you?”“I’m- I’m-uh-” I stuttered, but my words were cut off as the door opened and Nads entered with fruits and lunch for us.“OMG! You’re awake!” Nads exclaimed, quickly running to hug Kalix. She must have noticed me watching, as she immediately backed away. “Sorry, got carried away.”I was about to mention her amnesia, but Kalix spoke first. “Nads, why are you saying sorry? Do you know this lady? I think she’s lost,” Nads froze, and the big grin vanished from her face.“Come on, stop playing, Kalix, can’t you remember her? She’s Samantha!”“You know her? Oh! I’m sorry!” She turned to me, “You’re Nads’s friend? I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” She seemed genuinely not joking.“Kalix, stop playing! Stop pulling pranks, you dimwit!”“Nads, can I step out for a moment?” I excused myself and quickly left the room. I heard her calling me several times, but

    “Damn it, of all times, they had to fire me when I needed the job? I knew it, that idiot would be the one to fire me.” I didn’t care if I looked like a fool as I walked, drawing the attention of passersby.They fired me yesterday, and I also received my final paycheck of twelve thousand. I worked for him for four years, but he didn’t give me anything else. Damn it!So here I am now, walking and looking for another job. It’s tough when you haven’t finished your studies; all you have is your thick skin and experience.I’m pulling my slightly wrinkled black polo shirt and blue pants, shoes I bought at a flea market, and because I’m shameless, I even haggled for them.My family doesn’t know I’ve lost my job. They don’t ask, but when it comes to money, they know me well. Sometimes I feel like I’m just an adopted child because of what they do. I don’t know, my mother used to be kind, not like this, it all changed when Lea, my sister, came.“Where are you headed, Sam?” I looked at the person

    “Last stopover, we’ll arrive in Liberdad in about an hour,” Lita reminded me as we got off the bus. I went to the restroom because I needed to, while she smoked a cigarette. She said her tongue itches if she doesn’t smoke after eating, so I waited for her to finish.The wind was different here, and there were many establishments around, competing for attention. It was dizzying. Even though I’m twenty-three now, this is still the first time I’ve traveled for work.An hour and a half passed, and we got off in front of a low-cost apartment complex. I’m used to seeing places like this; there are many of them in town. People from the city work here, and they don’t have their own homes.“This is where I stay, you can stay here for now until you have your salary. Just leave when you find another place,” Lita said.“Don’t I stay with my employer?” I asked, thinking that maids usually stay in. Based on the researches I did, I mean, it’s city, I’m not dumb, but it will be easier if I’m accessibl

    “So, this is the living room, obviously. See that door?” he said, pointing to the door on my right, “That’s the kitchen.” I nodded, trying to absorb everything he was saying. “And that one is the bathroom, and the wall,” he pointed to the end of the hallway where there’s a wall, “Behind that wall is the bedroom. It’s two separate rooms; you’ll occupy the left door. Don’t open the other room unless instructed, understood?”I nodded in response, “Yes, sir,” I answered, scanning the entire house, trying to memorize it. Sir said it’s not too big, about three times the size of our house.It’s not like what I see on TV shows where you enter and immediately see the kitchen. Upon entering, there’s a built-in aquarium that greets you, next to it is a shoe rack, and on the side is a rack for indoor slippers. When you turn right, that’s when you see the living room, which looks very clean.The walls are a mix of black and white, there are three sofas, two single ones and one long one, there’s a

    “Okay, All done!” I arranged the vegetables at the vegetable stall, placed the processed food in the chiller, and put the meat in the freezer. I left only the dishes I will cook, two viands: beef steak and adobo. They taste even better when they’ve been stored for a long time, the flavor really seeps in.I remembered the man earlier; people like that should be taken to a mental hospital. Why was he on the street? I thought only the provinces had that kind of thing, but it seems even in the city? And he expects me to wait for his explanation? With the hardships of life today, even if he doesn’t speak, it’s just a waste of effort, because what I need now is money.I chopped the garlic and onions. Luckily, there was some leftover beef from yesterday, so I decided to marinate it. I marinated it in soy sauce, calamansi, and pepper. I took it out of the fridge and fried it first before adding the sauce.“Ouch! Ouch! Damn! Wait! Damn oil splatters!” I was avoiding the oil splatters like craz

    “I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t know you were my employer here,” I apologized as I applied an ice pack, almost bowing my head, unable to see what I was doing due to embarrassment.“Weren’t you informed? My god, what’s inside your head?” His words stung a bit, but I just ignored them. It was my fault anyway, which is why he was angry now, with a big bruise on his face.“I’m really sorry, I really didn’t know, no one told me,” I didn’t know how many times I had apologized.“Whatever, what’s your name?” I breathed a sigh of relief at the change of topic, hoping he was done talking now.“Samantha Zyle Feliciano, just Samantha for short,” I answered, taking the nearly empty ice pack from him. I got another one from the ice bucket and handed it to him. I sat on the sofa, and he sat on the chair opposite me.His gaze softened a bit, no longer as harsh as before. “I’m Kalix Alcantra. I bet you knew about me?” I furrowed my brow, looking at him.“Uh, no, sorry. I’m from the province, I don’t really

    “I really wonder why he won’t answer my calls? He even said that this is his personal number, what if something happens to me? And I have no one to ask for help?”I felt like a crazy person talking to the plant in the pot in front of the condominium. I’ve been here outside for two hours now. I was planning to eat, but I’m not sure if I’ll get lost. I need to wait for the boss because I’m going to ask if I will really leave.Because of extreme hunger, I walked to find a skewer outside, I walked for almost ten minutes before finally seeing a vendor, I immediately joined the line and bought a hundred pesos worth, because of my extreme hunger.I also roamed around, but I didn’t go too far. I noticed that there were more and more people, and then I looked at my cheap watch, it was past five already.There were also some students, some with their parents, my gaze was fixed on a spot where there were two children, with their mother and father, walking, you could see the excitement and joy on

    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
