CHAPTER 15
Athena's POV
Matapos ang kamistahan namin at pagpapakilala ni Micka, the girl who is with Kalix which is his girlfriend according sa pagpapakilala niya kanina ay naupo na kaming lahat. Saglitang nabalit ng katahimikan ang paligid. The boys had their own drinks at tumayo si Justin para kumuha ng inumin namin."I heard you're talking about an investigator a while ago"- tanong ko sa kanila.Kay Dustin ako tumingin dahil alam kong siya ang makakasagot non."Yeah ... They don't have any leads until now"- malungkot nitong sabi matapos niyang bumuntong hininga.Kalix nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we've followed up on every lead they’ve given us, but Czareenah seems to be always one step ahead. It’s like she doesn’t want to be found.""I doubt that, if Czareenah would go somewhere to hide that place is far to be found dahil pinaka ayaw non ang tumakbo ng tumakbo"- I commented.Umupo naman si Justin na may dalang kape and beer fKaugnay na kabanata

Athena's POVIt was the little things that made me fall harder for Justin. How he would show up, day in and day out, to take me to and from school. How his presence became a comforting constant in my life. Today was no different he was waiting in a park outside our department building, a warm smile lighting up his face as I approached."Hi, Light" he said with a warm smile as I approach and hugged me, giving me a kiss in my head or forehead which he always do. With feeling that familiar flutter in my chest. "Thanks for always picking me up Meyer"He shrugged, a playful grin on his face. "I wouldn't have it any other way. It's part of my routine anyway"Tulad ng dati, sabay naming tinungo ang parking lot.As we drove, the conversation flowed easily, as it always did. Then, as we neared my house, Justin cleared his throat, his tone becoming a bit more serious."By the way" he started, glancing at me briefly before turning

Athena's POV Justin carried me in a bridal style, making me laugh as we made our way through the hallway. The party had been amazing, and now, as we neared our rooms, I felt a mix of excitement and anticipation. "Okay, here we are," Justin said, stopping in front of my door. He was about to put me down, but I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck tighter. "Hatid mo ko sa room"- I requested. Medyo nahihiyang ako at kinakabahan na kaya napasubsub ako sa dibdib niya. I heard him laugh a little. "Sure, anything for you, Light". He walked a few more steps as pushed open my door with his foot, carrying me inside. Agad ko namang tinakpan ang mga mata niya kaya napatigil siya. "Hey-... What are you doing?"- Tanong nito trying to remove my hand pero pinigilan ko siya. "Do you trust me?"- tanong ko. "Of course, what is this all about Li

Athena's POV It's hard to believe it's been five months since Justin and I became a couple. Time flies when you're with someone who makes every moment feel special, at napaka bagal ng oras kapag nalulungkot ka or your suffering from something heavy in your heart. Justin has been the same caring, attentive guy since the day we started dating. He always knows how to make me smile, and hoping everyday that our relationship will grow stronger than we ever imagined. Today is our monthsary, and Justin insisted on taking me out for a simple date. I once look at my mirror checking myself. I'm wearing a simple dress, casual and elegant. *BBZZZZZT* (My phone vibrated on the table showing Meyer's name in it). I picked up my phone as I answer it with calm and joy. "Hello..."- me "Hi Light, I'm waiting downstairs"- Meyer said on the other line. "Pababa na ako"- sagot ko. Ibinaba ko narin a

Athena's POVIt was one of those rare days when my classes finished early. I found myself with extra time and decided to wait for Justin outside his department. Siguro oras na rin para ako naman ang maghintay sa kanya para hindi laging siya ang naghihintay. Tumingin ako sa wrist watch ko saka napaupo sa isang bench not too far from their department enjoying the breeze and the anticipation of seeing him.As I waited, I noticed a girl standing nearby, looking nervous and fidgety. She was holding a small box, and her eyes kept darting towards the department entrance. The girl was so familiar, hindi ko masyadong makita ang mukha niya dahil waring nakatalikod ito sa kinaroroonan ko. 'Katulad ko rin sigurong may hinihintay mula sa Criminology department'- inner me. Some students started to storm out from the building kaya hindi ko na ibinaba ang bag ko. Ilang saglit lang ay nakita ko na si Justin papalabas ng department kaya tumayo na ako. "

Athena's POV Today was shaping up to be just another busy day on campus, filled with lectures and lab sessions. Justin maybe busy pero nagagawa parin nitong ihatid sundo ako sa school at apartment ko. I was on my way to canteen nang nagcross ang landas namin ni Micka sa hallway. "Athena!"- she greeted me excitedly. "Hi Micka"- salubong ko naman sa kanya. We're in the same department pero ang mga ganitong pagkakataong na nagsasalubong ang schedule namin ay napakadalang lang. "Tell me you're going to the canteen not to your next class?"- she said with cross fingers. Napatawa nalang ako sa ginawa niya. "Yeah, come on"- paanyaya ko sa kanya. Together l, we headed to the canteen as we catch up for some time. "How's your course going?" Micka asked as we found a table in the crowded canteen. "It's been intense," I admitted. "Medical Technology isn't exactly a walk in the park pero kaya naman, Ikaw? How's nursing treating you?"- balik tanong ko sa kanya. Micka smiled. "It's a

Athena's POVAnother sem had passed, weeks had dragged on with an aching slowness. With our internships in full swing, Justin and I rarely saw each other, and I missed him terribly. The few times we did manage to steal moments together, I couldn't shake the feeling that he was pulling away. He seemed distant, preoccupied, and it gnawed at me.Determined to bridge the growing gap between us, I decided to surprise him. Tomorrow was our first anniversary and Justin's birthday also, and I wanted us to welcome it together. Last year on his birthday, I had said yes to being his girlfriend as my special gift for him. It was a special day for both of us, and I wanted to make sure we celebrated it despite everything.Alam ko ang address ng condo niya at ibinigay niya sa akin ang duplicate key niya.
My Fiance is my Ex CHAPTER 22
Athena's POVThe night stretched on endlessly. Sleep evaded me, and I lay awake, staring at the ceiling as the minutes turned into hours. I kept checking my phone, hoping for a reply from Justin, but nothing came. The silence was deafening, and each passing moment felt like an eternity.Tuloy tuloy sa pagluha ang mga mata ko, animo'y hindi nauubusan ng tubig ang katawan ko. Ramdam ko natin ang pamamaga ng lalamunan ko but I keep on hoping to receive a message from the person I've been thinking all night. By the time the first light of dawn peeked through my window, I knew I had to pull myself together. I had a class to attend and an internship to manage. No matter how heavy my heart felt, I couldn't afford to be irresponsible. With a sigh, I got out of bed and began my morning routine, the motions feeling mechanical and devoid of energy."All is well..."- I said trying to calm myself I front of the mirror. Muli akong huminga ng malalim
My Fiance is my Ex CHAPTER 23
Athena's POVI arrived at my appointment, hoping for some clarity, but all I felt was the growing pit of anxiety in my stomach. I needed Justin's explanation, pero wala. Hindi ko alam kung ako ba ang mapride o kung may nangyari na sa kanya. With a deep sigh, I pulled out my phone and tried calling him again. The ringing felt like an eternity, but there was no answer. Naka ilang ulit na ako tawag, pero wala pa rin."Justin, nasaan ka na ba?" I whispered to myself, my frustration growing with each unanswered call. I couldn't shake off the worry that something bad might have happened to him. Desperation crept in as I dialed his number once more, but still, no answer. I slumped on the couch, staring blankly at the wall. My mind raced with thoughts and questions. "Ako ba ang may mali? Am I being too prideful?" I wondered, feeling the tears start to well up in my eyes.A sudden knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. My heart leaped with hope.
