It's early in the morning, and I can hear crickets chirping as I focus my gaze on the sky while I hold the myg in one hand and look at the clouds with the other. I traveled back to the countryside and am currently staying at my grandmother's home.My wound is still hurting, and I have a dizzy feeling in my head. It's true that I find Navi frustrating, and I've recently lost the urge to talk to him even more, but that doesn't imply that I no longer want him in my life. I am aware that he was merely upset on that particular day, and he was unaware that I was present; yet, the situation is partially my responsibility because I became engaged in the altercation with the other man."Grandpa, you were up bright and early." My grandma was sitting next to me and had a pandesal and a cup of coffee in her hands. After I had finished eating, they brought the saucer to me. I decided to accept it and just bite the bullet; I didn't want to weep first thing in the morning, so I held back my emotions
"How are you doing, sweetie?" My brow was kissed tenderly by Navi, and she ran her fingers through my hair. When I opened my eyes, everything was breathtaking, but the highlight was undoubtedly when Navier showed me the dashing face of my partner.He sat on the side of the bed while holding a glass of coffee in the living room since Navi slept and we were not permitted to be close to one other because my grandma would be unhappy and I would surely be held responsible and pinched in the groin if we were in the same room."How are you today?" After giving him an enthusiastic hello, I stood up, brushed my lips across Navi's cheek, and then walked away as quickly as I could. The way he grins at me still brings back the same sensation I had when he was trying to court and woo me for the first time. It made my day to see Navi's happy face and hear about all the things she done for me today."Veni, veni, abbiamo pranzo. "Your breakfast is ready, and I prepared something special for you," he
It's been three days since we arrived in the countryside, and tomorrow we'll be on our way back to Manila. When I landed on the grass, Navi was right there with me. We have made it a habit to go up the mountain, and on the way down, we always make a point of stopping at the waterfall that is close.After drinking the water that Navi brought me, I laid down on my bed and went to sleep since I was exhausted. Grandma was left at home since she is unable to climb mountains as frequently as she used to and because our hike was exhausting. We had concluded our sightseeing and were heading down the mountain.I was so exhausted that I whined, "Let's have a break here, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack from exhaustion," and then I fell into the water. It's exhausting, but it's all worth it since I have Navi by my side."Look at you, baby!" I grimaced as soon as I glanced at what Navi had pointed out to me, and he had just shown me the trees. However, something cold that was metal br
I was dumbfounded by the big house and all I know is that we were in Tagaytay before we passed by on our way home, but now we are in Mariveles and Navi still drove until now and we slowed down and stopped at the resort."I thought we were going home?" I asked and he smiled, turned off the engine of his car and I sat down."Sorry baby, my Mom wants to see you. Her brothers came home and Mom was proud of you, so she said let's stop by here before our semester break ends." Navi held my hand and I started to get nervous now.I already know Tita, and she is kind and generous, she treats me like her daughter. But I don't know Navi's relatives that well. So I can't help but be nervous, I want to meet them but what if they don't like me."I am nervous baby, maybe your relatives will insult me later. I am not rich," I said and slumped my shoulders. Yes, that is true. My parents own a small grocery store and have three brachs, but not like Navi's parents and clan who are rich and embarrassing t
I watched Navi's car drive away from our house today, it was past six in the evening when we got home from Mariveles and it's only two days before school, I still have to finish some work that I missed at school.When I turned to the gate, I received a hard slap from Mama and she looked at me badly now."You're young, you're overdoing it. I didn't say you should never come home, Mama?" Mama is very angry with me now, they forbade me to go home to my grandmother because she and my grandmother had a fight, and I was out of their trouble with our relative. Because they are kind aunts to me and do not sympathize with me when they are angry and scolding their siblings."You didn't say goodbye that you were leaving, you came home with wounds and tears and then you ran away from me and then I found out that you went home, to your neighbors in the province!" Mama shouted and dragged me into our house."Mom, they didn't treat me badly and then it wasn't with Tita anymore, they welcomed me well
I was doubly nervous when one of my block mates came out who passed what he lacked in the sem, I'm next and will talk to my prof. This is my last conversation. I feel like I will lose the dean's lister because I didn't pass on time.I entered the office and smiled, hugging the folder and my laptop now. Sit in front of it. I have a presentation that needs to be done to make up for what I lacked when I was lost and what I overcame."Good afternoon Sir Homer," I greeted and handed over the folder. He is the youngest prof here, the same age as the prof who got a student pregnant in another course and what I know is that he is chronic in his relationships with his students."Kourtney, I'm not going to swim anymore. I don't know if you'll get back the grades you should have gotten if you passed early. This presentation is useless, I am being honest now." He put the folder on the table. I kept it up, so why is that?"I will present what I have now. Even if the grade I get is not that high, S
"Kourtney, lift your head! Display your face. "Don't hide it!" said the teacher who had instructed me, and we are now at the little stage. I was designed to walk in heels. My foot is hurting, and I've been walking for about an hour. "Your posture, did you do the stretching I suggested before you went to bed?" she said, and I nodded slowly. Drink water while sitting on the little stage. "Does this really have to be done? "I thought I wasn't supposed to wear heels?" I inquired, and she rolled her eyes and showed me what they planned to wear. I need a costume for the sports I play; I used to play volleyball in high school but wasn't taught. I tried out earlier, but when the ball smacked me in the face, I backed up and decided not to force the tryout. "It's difficult; why do they wear heels?" "They wear rubber shoes like this," I grumbled, unable to stop laughing. "Who said you'd be wearing a bikini top and jeans to the coronation?" My brows instantly lifted, causing my eyes to widen
I passed Navi, who was in our living room today; it's Saturday, and I still have competition practice."Kourtney, I have no idea what you're saying. "What did I do to make you angry?" He goes over to me and hands me a present. I continue to ignore it and let him talk word for word.I heated my meal in the microwave oven. Mama is not at home, and Papa is currently attending to something at the bank. So I was home alone, but I had a last-minute rehearsal at school later.I've been ignoring Navi for almost three days because I'm annoyed; I don't want everyone to trick me and make me feel stupid."Why can't you listen to me, Kourtney?" "I really don't understand what you're saying, and I swear I never considered fooling you or changing you," he stated as I gazed at him."Tell me who the heck you are. "Who was driving your car that day?" When I inquired, he took a long breath. He gently touched both of my hands."My cousin stole my car, baby, I left school early and he stole my car while I
