Another month had passed and in the days that have passed, I am still—no, I am always in the news which isn't new to me anymore. To be honest, I feel like the news love me so much that it doesn't want to let me go. If I could just label myself then I guess I suit the title ‘Queen of the News’.
"What are you doing?" I looked at Aishi as she came out of the kitchen.
"Reading some negative comments about me," I answered as I waved to her the phone I was holding.
"You're something, don't you know that? Of all the people I knew, you seem to be the only person who enjoys reading negative comments about you." Aishi then walked near me, stepped aside so she could put down the snack she made on the center table before she sat beside me.
I took a spicy cracker from the plate and ate it before I answered her.
"They made an effort to type it. It would be a waste if I will not read it." And I just felt her hit me on the head.
"What the hell?" I hissed, glaring
"Why this hacker doesn't want to message you now?" Aishi complained while we were here at her condo.The experts I hired in this field were having a hard time with this hacker. If the hacker will send me a message, it would have been easier for us to find where he is but the expert told me that if he has deleted my account, we won't be able to trace him anymore but deleting an account only happens after 90 days.If that's what the hacker did then we still have a chance because it's only been a month. There are still 60 days left, hoping that in that remaining days, we could track him."Let me handle this problem, Ma'am. It may be a bit more difficult this time but fear not. I will catch your hacker." I felt relieved somehow because I can feel the assurance in the expert's tone.They say it takes a long time for the weeds to really die and so with this hacker because we really have a hard time finding where he is. We may only have the least percent of in
Life is an unending journey—a journey where you should keep going despite the challenges you are facing. In this journey, there is no room for giving up. Yes, you may stop but it requires you not to give up. Sure, life is not a contest where some wins and some losses but it is a battle where in you should win every struggles.And that's what I want to do now, to win this struggle I am facing. It is hard but that's not a reason for me to stop. I believe there's always a solution to every problem and I won't let this problem ruin me. I have had sacrificed a lot and I won't let those sacrifices I did to put into waste."Yasha, give me your stern look this time." I immediately changed my facial expression as the photographer demanded."Face your left side a bit." I did again what he said. "A bit more, no no, turn on your left side. Alright, stop. Stop. That's it. Now look at me with your stern look."Click of cameras, lightings, set of different clothes, various
Axis Ford's Point of ViewPeople only want one thing in this world, that is happiness. But how can we attain that? Do we need to sacrifice first in order for us to attain happiness?Can't we be happy without any pain? Can't we be happy without hurting someone's feelings? Can't we be happy without hurting our own feelings? Can't we be happy because we are truly happy?Maybe, life is really unfair or it's just that life works that way. Maybe that's the purpose of life. For all we know, life is not life for nothing. Life doesn't only bring happiness, but somehow it also brings challenges—a challenges that might bring us lessons in order for us to become a better and strong person. Yes, that's what life is.But why me? Of all people, why is it me? Why should I be the one to experience all of these things? I thought if we sacrificed then everything will get better, but why things only seem to get worst?"Book me the fastest flight in the Philippines, Angeli.
I wanted to chase her. I don't want to end this night with us having a quarrel, but I got a call, that maybe, just maybe, that call was a sign for me to let her think first, that I should let her go first. And that's what I did.I took the call. It was Kelly, asking me to come to her because she needs me. I know Yasha needs me too but I chose to go to Kelly, considering the situation she has right now.I learned that her father is in the hospital, in his critical condition. I knew Kelly back then. She's been a friend to me. Both our fathers were colleagues.From her situation right now, no one's comforting her aside from me because she has nothing. Only her father and I can't stand seeing her suffering.That night, her father's condition got worse."I can't lost my Dad, Axis. He's the only one I have. I can't lost him." I hugged her tightly while crying. I can feel and understand her pain and I can't bear seeing her suffering like this.Week
"Yasha," I quickly approached her and hugged her tightly. Prisoning her in my arms, right at this moment I know she is crying. "I'm sorry,baby. Please, calm down. I am already here." I tightened the hug but she pushed me away."Why are you here?" Her voice was cold and that shows that she's mad."You need me Yasha. I won't leave you now." I said but tears rolled down her cheeks."Maybe someone needs you more.""Yasha, please. Let's not talk about her." Because I know she's referring to Kelly again."Then what do you want to talk about? Us? What about us, Axis?" Her voice sounded vehemently."Yasha, I came home because I'm worried about you." I hope she knows that. I hope she understands that."And if this didn't happen to me, will you come to me? I waited for you, Axis. I am expecting that when I woke up, you will be the first person I see. But what?" Her tears couldn't stop and it pains me more to see her cry like this."I have to rus
TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide attempt, self-injury.***What Kelly's asking is not that easy. There are lot of factors to consider. Business is not just a game. Business undergoes processes. The process itself is hard. It can be laborious and complicated.The merging she's talking isn't just about the CEO and the people in the highest positions. The boards of the companies must approve any merger transaction first. State laws also require shareholder approval. To cut it short, even if I'm the CEO, the decision is not merely on me."I'm... I'm sorry. I u-understand." I let out a sigh again because of what she said. "I have to go." Kelly then stormed out my office.I am always ready to help her. Like what I said, I am willing to help her but not this kind of thing.Days passed and every time I'm seeing Kelly here in the company, she's just giving me smiles and then she passes me by. She never brought up the t
I quickly rushed Kelly to the hospital when she lost consciousness. She just lacerated her wrist in front of me! She's crazy!The doctor immediately studied the anatomy of her wrist. In her condition, the doctor told me that wrist laceration is going to depend on two things—the direction of the laceration, and the depth of the cut.The laceration ability to threaten life is dependent entirely upon whether or not the artery is lacerated and in her case, her wound is not that deep.Her attempt was categorized as nonlethal and the doctor did the hemorrhage control. Bleeding will stop on its own, but doctor said it's far better for her to have her wounds dressed and that's what they did.I covered my hand on my face while looking at Kelly whom until now still hadn't woken up after she was treated.What was she thinking? Just because of her situation, she thought of doing this thing? That she's hopeless and having no reason to live? She thought there's
After that day, I never saw Kelly again. I'm still mad at her. I didn't know that after all the things I have done to her, this is what she's going to do with me."Don't work too much. You're not okay yet." I reminded Yasha. She's been resting for weeks now after she was discharged in the hospital. The doctor said she's okay but I can't let her drawn herself in her work again."I'm okay, Ax. I'll just do a photoshoot today, nothing more." She pleaded."It's still a no, Yasha Reese.""Axis, please? Allow me to work now, please? Baby, please?" She asked with puppy eyes and even clung her hands on my nape. What else can I do? I tsk-ed but she just chuckled."Promise. I'll take care of myself." She told me.I also enveloped her in my arms. She doesn't need to take care of herself because I will be the one doing that. I'll take care of this woman in my whole life. I don't want to see her hurting because it triples the pain I'm feeling if that hap
