Graziel P.? I wonder who she is. 

Tinignan ko si Akiro at nakita ko na naka-kunot ang kanyang noo habang binabasa ang motivation card na ibinigay ni Ms. Asthea.

"Anong naka-sulat sa iyo?" Bigla namang tanong ni Akiro at sinilip ang motivation card ko.

I laughed softly, inabot sa kaniya ang motivation card.

"Ang ganda," bulong ni Akiro ng mabasa ang motivation card ko. 

"Failing does not mean quitting,  the steps to your dream is not always easy so just fight for it."

-Graziel P.

"Ms. Asthea," I called her.

I just wanna ask her about the name on this card. Sa lahat ng motivation card ay Graziel ang naka-sulat. I'm collecting her motivation cards eversince.

Paalis na sana si Ms. Asthea nang tawagin ko siya. Nilingon niya ako ng may ngiti sa kaniyang labi.

"Yes, Amelie?" 

"Can I ask who is Graziel?" 

Ramdam ko ang pag-hawak ni Akiro sa braso ko, pinipigilan ako.

    I gasp, anong ginagawa ni Cosmo rito?! He must be crazy!Naramdaman ko ang pagtingin ni Akiro at ni Lola Vernia sa akin kaya nag mamadali kong itinago ang cellphone sa bulsa."Hinahanap ka na?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Akiro.Nahihiya akong um-oo pero nag aalala ako kay Cosmo. He's waiting for me in the alley of this street at baka tirahin siya ng mga tambay.He can fight but I don't wamna risk it.Mahinang napa-kamot ako sa aking noo at tumango.I smiled apologeticaly, "Yes, uh, sorry po, Lola Vernia. I have to go home na po." Nahihiya kong saad.Damn, Cosmo! Why does he have to go here?!Naka-ngiting umiiling si Lola Vernia, "Wala iyon, hija. Salamat nga pala sa cake at isda. Sobrang salamat." Saad niya ng may ngiti at hinawakan ang aking kamay."Akiro, apo, ihatid mo siya, may sundo ka ba?" Tanong ni Lola Vernia at tumayo mula sa hapag.Nahihiya akong tumango at ngumiti. I bid farewell to Lola Vernia and went out

    Napasimangot ako, he should have told this to me personally!Parang kanina lang ay umiiyak ako dahil sa sakit, pero ngayon ay maiiyak naman ako sa tuwa.Damn, Cosmo really knows how to flutter me.Pinunasan ko ang aking pisngi gamit ang panyo na ibinigay ni Kuya Everett.Napansin ni Kuya Evrett ang pagbago ng ekspresyon ko at ngumiwi."What's that?" Tanong niya at dumungaw sa cellphone ko.Kuya Everett read Cosmo's text loudly and laughed."He's fucking whipped, Amelie. Kung ano man ang problema nyo, madadaan iyan sa maayos na pag-uusap." Saad ni kuya Everett at inakbayan ako upang ma-akay papasok ng mansion.The door automatically opened and we went in. Napansin ko si kuya Azarius na seryoso sa pag-babasa ng isang dokumento sa sofa."I'm home." Anunsyo ko at pabagsak na naupo sa tabi ni kuya Azariu

    Natahimik ang lahat. Maski si manang na abala sa pagluluto at huminto upang tignan kung sino ang dumating.Maging si Ryle na kalaro si Eve ay natahimik, maging si Reagan ay awkward lang na naka-tayo sa gilid ng sofa.It was the Buenaventuras. Their presence screams power that Caliber's family was intimidated. The two boys are both serious and poker faced while tita Delilah was smiling sweetly while her arm was hooked on her husband's arm.They are just wearing their casual clothes but they all looked elegant.Nagka-tinginan kami ni Cosmo at agad na namula ang pisngi ko, naalala ko na naman ang nangyari kagabi!At kapag naalala ko ang nangyari kagabi, kinikilig ako!"I didn't know that their engagement was cancelled?" Pag-uulit pa ni tito Gregory and went to Caliber to give a manly hug.They were quite close, I guess?Tinapik ni Caliber ang balikat ni tito Gregory."Azarius was just bluffing, you guys can sit.

    Natawa ako ng napaka-lakas. I saw how Hera's face turn grim.This is the reaction that I've been wanting to see.Umiling ako at inipit ang takas ng aking buhok sa likod ng aking tainga dahil humangin ng malakas.Unti-unting nawala ang ngiti sa aking mukha at mariin siyang tinignan. "No, this is me claiming what is mine, Hera. And I'm reminding you of that." Malamig na saad ko.Bumuntong hininga ako at tumayo mula sa upuan at tinalikuran siya na parang nabato sa kaniyang kinauupuan.Tinanaw ko mula sa patio ang gazeboo at nakita ko ang pag-sayaw ng mga bulaklak dahil sa hangin."The weather is great, Hera..." Bitin na saad ko at nilanghap ang sariwang hangin.I craned my head back to glimpse on her without moving my back."Don't ruin this day for us and go back to your lover. You don't have a place here, anyway."Iniwan ko siya roon. I made myself clear, I am not giving her the company neither Cosmo.Ta

    I can't straightly look at Akiro's eyes. Damn Cosmo. How dare him say that we're currently making out yesterday at the phone to Akiro?!"Uh, why did you want to see me?" Tanong ko, at ibinaling nag tingin sa maliit na vase na may lamang bulaklak sa harap ko.We are at a quiet yet aesthetical restaurant. Sinulyapan ko ng tingin si Cosmo na nasa pangalawang lamesa mula sa amin at tahimik na nag babasa ng libro.Napa-ngiwi na lang ako. He did not let me go here without him.Narinig ko ang pag-buntong hininga ni Akiro."Gusto ko lang mag-pasalamat ulit. Sobrang natuwa si Lola dahil sa uh pag-dating mo." Nag-alangan pa si Akiro na sabihin ang nasa dulo.Those words touched my heart and made me look at him. I smiled widely."Natuwa rin ako sa mga ginawa ko and I had fun spending some time with you, no need to thank me like I did something so heroic." Saad ko at ikinawag ang kamay para balewalain ang sinabi ni Akiro.Ang isa rin

    "Tss, why would she be needing you? I'm here, I'm more than enough to her." Malamig na saad ni Cosmo, at nakipag sukatan siya ng tingin kay Akiro.Hindi ko napansin ang pag lapit niya sa amin dahil akala ko ay nag babasa pa rin siya ng libro.Akiro smirked, "You never know."Nakita ko ang pag-irap ni Cosmo. Kinuha ni Cosmo ang shoulder bag ko na nasa lamesa at isinukbit iyon sa kaniyang malapad na balikat."Let's go." Kinuha ni Cosmo ang aking kamay at marahang hinatak patayo.Cosmo put his arm on my tiny waist. "Magpa-alam ka na sa kaniya." Cosmo mocked Akiro and raised his brows playfully.They are teasing each other but I know that Cosmo really cares for Akiro. He wouldn't spend so much money if he wouldn't."Bye, Akiro!" Paalam ko at kumaway.Tumango si Akiro at tumawa. I turn my back on him and lean on Cosmo's body. Siniko ko ang kaniyang tyan pero ako pa ang nasaktan.Damn those abs."Why are you

    In the middle of the pouring rain, I poured my heart and soul to him..... to Cosmo.Cosmo immediately pulled me into a hug. "This love...... happens just once in a lifetime, and I want to spend my lifetime with you." He whispered to my ear.Thaddeus and Graziel's lovestory was famous in La Oreña. Kung buhay pa sana si Graziel, malamang may anak na sila ng bokalistang si Thaddeus. Pero noong dapat mag pproppose na si Thaddeus, na-aksidente ito at namatay.I was an avid fan of the band Catastrophe, kaya alam ko ang mga ito.They are the perfect example of 'the one that got away'.

    Narinig ko ang pag hagulgol ni Amanda at napaka-lakas noon.Parang naestatwa ako sa kinatatayuan ko. I couldn't move as I hear Amanda's cry.Pakiramdam ko ay marami pa akong kailangan malaman tungkol kay Cosmo.Halos lahat ng mga nag dadaanang estudyante sa storage room ay napapa-tingin kung saan nangagaling ang tunog."Oh, my god! Is that a ghost?!" Takot na saad ng isang babaeng freshman na dumaan at tumakbo playo sa storage room.Tila wala na rin sa akin kung sila lang ni Amanda ang nasa loob ng storage room.Besides, I couldn't get mad because I understand how Amanda feels, and I feel like mt energy was drained.Napa-tingin na lang ako sa aking kamay kung nasaan ang engagement ring.He already proposed, but why do I feel like he still doesn't belong to me?"Cosmo, ako na lang, wag na si Devyn.

    It seems like they're not expecting what I've said. Nagka-tinginan si tita Delilah at tito Gregory. Hanggang sa narinig ko ang malalim na buntong hininga ni kuya Azarius. What is happening? Bakit parang hindi sila sang-ayon sa sinabi ko? I thought everything's fine between us? Naguguluhan akong tumingin kay Cosmo, instead, he gave me a small encouraging smile. "I know masyado pang maaga, but kuya Azarius, mom, dad. I just want to prove myself to Devyn and to everybody that I'm serious with her, and I'm willing to marry her with all my heart." With that my heart melt. I didn't know that words could put you into cloud-9, until Cosmo said these words today. Nagulat ako at ang lahat nang biglang tumawa ng malakas si kuya Azarius na may kasama pang palakpak. As if what Cosmo just said entertained him.Seriously, what the heck is happening?"What a joke, Cosmo Buenaventura. Nasabi mo na rin ba yan sa ibang babae? Shut the fuck up and get out of my property, walang engagement at kasa

    Nanatili ang tingin namin ni Cosmo sa isa't-isa. I saw how his jaw violently moved and his sharp eyes went on Akiro and mine's arms.Nakita ko pa ang pag tingala ni Amanda kay Cosmo pero hindi nya iyon pinansin.I almost shiver with Cosmo's gaze.The girl who was with our PE teacher clapped her hands to get our attention.Doon ko lang iniwas ang tingin mula kay Cosmo at inilipat iyon sa harapan."Since gahol na gahol na tayo sa oras, and the prom is about to come, napag desisyonan namin na pag sabayin na lang ang ABM-A at STEM-A." My classmates nodded, acknowledging the presence of the other students here. "Let's start." Anunsyo ng instructor. She didn't bother to introduce herself to us, she just commanded us to spread our arms to have a distance.Tahimik si Akiro sa aking tabi. Pasimple akong sumulyap sa banda nila Cosmo at nakita ko na naka-tingin rin sya sa akin.Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin at tumingin na lang sa harapan.We were commanded that,we should follow sir Paul and o
