"Your face is too thick to meet us!! Come here, I'm going to stop you, you witch!" I was surprised when it approached Vanessa's behavior and quickly adjusted it."What the hell! Stephen stop your brother!!" Stephen was about to step in when Aunt Stella stopped him from speaking."Go ahead and try to stop your brother Stephen, both of you and that girl will sneak up on me!" It said firmly.Sheila continued to manipulate Vanessa and it was obvious that Vanessa wanted to fight against the manipulation but she only stopped herself."What is he doing here in your house!?""He said he had nowhere to live." Stephen replied."Nowhere to live? That's a good reason, but did you think about how Alyana would feel? Did he agree to let that girl live here!"Stephen slowly looked at me. "I... I'm sorry Alyana."Stephen and I didn't really talk about Vanessa and the child living here... but I feel sorry for the child because Vanessa said they have nowhere to live, maybe what will happen to the child
"We were best friends in high school.""What the?? You can't be infected by him Alyana." I turned to John."Infected where?""In flirty." We both hit John."Call him flirty, your jaw is broken.""Call me flirty, your jaw is broken.""You really are best friends. Hey, Flyn do you know that you and Camille know each other?""No," he said before going inside."Let's go inside first so we can talk." I said pulling his hand inside the house."Just wondering why you are here at Stephen's house? Is John your boyfriend? Who did you sell you to? Was it John? That's very yuck!""Hey, you're thinking wrong, Stephen is Alyana's boyfriend and I'm not! Alyana is beautiful but she's not my type, sorry.""That's why you're asking. Then Alyana isn't the type to think like you, kid!" John raised an eyebrow."So, what? Tell me a story, Alyana.""Where should I start...?" Ask if you promise."What the hell, why did your sister say that you were sold?!""Uhm, what's wrong with mom..." I bowed my head beca
I woke up without Stephen by my side, when I left the room I saw him carrying the child. I can see the joy on his face as he looks at the sleeping child."Steph---""Stephen, Manang has cooked, let's eat." I just smiled bitterly, they were like family...and I was just like an obstacle."I'll wake up Alyana for a moment---oh, you're already awake. Come, let's eat."That's when he woke me up, when I opened my eyes I saw him first. But now...why does it seem different?Just yesterday when he found out that Effren is his child, his face was sad yesterday because he and Vanessa had a child and now he is very happy.I want to be selfish, I want to keep Stephen away from her but I feel sorry for the child, I don't want him to grow up without Stephen by his side. Even though I grew up with a father, I sometimes think what if I didn't have one? What about other children who grew up without a father? poor them, know how sad and painful it is."Vanessa take the child first.""Alyana? Are you oka
I got dressed and arranged the things I would bring."Alyana let's go." It promised and helped me with my things. After we left the room, Vanessa and I met and she was still holding Effren."Where are you guys going?" It's a strange question."Leaving," was the answer. it raised an eyebrow at me and seemed to say 'I'm not asking you, fool'"Stephen it's your birthday right so, why? Why are you carrying bags? Are you guys just going to leave me and Effren?!""We're just going to a resort for 3 days--""The hell! Why didn't you tell me!" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice."Why would we tell you? You're not with us." I turned to Aunt Stella who had just arrived."No, I'll come with you! I want to come with you duh!""Luh! Vanessa, you don't fit in the budget anymore." I looked at John who was now next to me and put his arm around me but Stephen immediately removed his hand and sent him away from my side."Stephen! You're going to leave your son and me alone huh? What kind of fat
"Don is going there too." It woke me up with a whisper."You five, if you just mess around here you can leave!""We're really leaving! You know how beautiful this resort is!" They left and the manager winked at Stephen before leaving."Are you okay?" I turned to Stephen and nodded in response."I should ask you that, are you okay?" Come back if you ask him."Yeah, don't worry." He pulled my hair and was about to hug me but he suddenly stopped."F**k! Why the heck are you wearing that kind of sh*t?" he frowned as he stared at what I was wearing now."Ahh...huh? Why?" I just blinked and stared at him. What's the problem? Why does it have to be cheap?"I made him wear it, Stephen." Camille's speech. Stephen looked at him sharply."Why? Do you want Alyana to imitate you huh?!"What does he mean by what he said? Like Camille? Why is there something wrong with Camille?"You don't like it? It's so sexy--""That's why! That's why tons of people insult you because that's what you're wearing!"
I'm just here in the room right now, sitting on the edge of the bed while staring at my sing-sing in my hand."Why do I feel like there will be no marriage?" I didn't say anything to myself and just sighed.I think Stephen is upstairs. He said he will put the child to sleep but until now he has not returned. Did the child really sleep for a long time or maybe he was doing something else?I sighed again and left the room. I went to the kitchen to get some drinking water.I suddenly heard Vanessa's voice behind me. "Oh, Alyana. Alyana? Hey, I'm talking to you!" I didn't pay attention to him."Damn! Are you deaf?! Hey!""What??!" I looked at Vanessa with a frown."Are you yelling at me?" This is an unbelievable question.Is that a cry for him? I'm just calm here."Eh, what about now? Don't yell at me if you want, I'm useless." I finished a glass of water and was about to leave."Ughh, I feel sorry for you.""What did you say?" I looked at him."I said I feel sorry for you because Stephen
"Oh, Xenon... It's you."[I think you're lethargic, are you sick?] There is a hint of concern in his voice."I'm not sick, I just don't feel like talking to anyone."[Oh really, I wanted to ask you out because today is my birthday...but it seems you're not in the mood right now--]"Birthday?" I checked what day it was and it was Xenon's birthday today, because I was thinking so much that I forgot."Sorry Xenon I forgot it's your birthday." I'm sorry.[It's okay, you don't need to be sorry Alyana.] I'm lucky because Xenon became my friend, he really understands me and in the past years he's the only one who understands me, he's like a brother to me."Where do you want to go?" I asked him.[Huh?]"You both want to go out, don't you?" I asked him.In a year, we only have a birthday once, so someone's birthday should be happy and memorable.[Alyana, you don't need to force yourself, it's okay with me, you can do it next time when you're okay...you look like you have a problem now and I'll
"I won't ignore what you tell me, Stephen! It's okay with me if you tell me like that if they're true, but they're not, I know for myself that I'm not what you think!""Stephen?" I looked at the door when someone suddenly knocked and I heard that familiar voice.Stephen opened the door, and I saw Vanessa.Is he out of the hospital? Bad grass takes a long time to die, but it's easy to heal!"What do you need?""Eh, it's because my bill is missing, the bill you gave me before, it's a limited edition and it's important to me because you gave me that bill." Its language."Done?""P-It's like seeing if Alyana took it. Can Alyana take a look at your room? I'll just look for it there--""Why are you looking in my room?! How did you get your bill in my room!! And don't make up a story, I didn't take a bill from you!"How can I take it from him, I left with Xenon?! what made him leave one of my hands and then take his bill? Or maybe my hand went home first to take his bill? Stupid! Does that m
Third Person's Pov.(18 years ago)"Alyana, run slowly, you might trip." The woman shouted at her son, happily watching her son happily while looking around."Thank you, I was able to go to the playground again." He smiled broadly at his mother."Of course, your father and I promised that we would go on your birthday, right?"Alyana smiled because she was fulfilling all her parents' promises. His parents really love him, even if there is no cake on his birthday, it's okay as long as he goes to the playground, that's okay with him."Your dad and I are just here, if you want to play with the kids there, it's okay with us."Alyana ran towards the children who were playing, but she bumped into three girls, causing her to fall and sit on the grass."Sorry," Alyana apologized and stood up."Sorry? Your so stupid don't you know how to look at what you're passing by?"The three of them crossed their arms and glared at Alyana."Yes, are you blind?!""Tsk, looks like trash eww!" A child's promi
Alyana Perez's Pov."It's boring here inside Stephen's house. Can we follow them?" Camille asked me.Camille and I are the only two here, should I leave it? Manang Daley said we can't go with her because we're pregnant...?"Ah, okay, I'm curious about where they're going. But wait, they didn't say where they were going, so how do we know?""Hey Alyana, what are you doing, I'll take care of it, so this is your best friend!""Okay, I trust you." He said with a shrug.Camille has a car so that's what we used._"Hmm, whose house is this?" I suddenly asked Camille when we arrived in front of a large house."Kela Vanessa? Are they going to come here? I just followed Flyn's location."I smiled when I saw Flyn with Flyn, John and Manang Daley who had just come out of that house."Stephen!" I called him and waved."What are you doing in here? Manang said that you should just stay at home." I just frowned."Why are you all wearing black? Did someone die?" Camille asked with a laugh but their f
Vanessa Taylor's Pov.I imagined I was Alyana, walking down the altar towards Stephen..."That should be me, holding your hand." I looked at Camille who was here next to me"That should be me, making you laughThat should be me, this is so sad." his song made me laugh softly.I know if he's hitting on me with those lyrics."That should be meThat should be meThat should be me, feeling your kissThat should be me, buying you gifts.""Stop it Camille." calm when I stop him but he continues so I just let it go."This is so wrongI can't go onTill you believeThat should be meThat should be me." I held my chest and held my breath.'Not now please, not now.' over and over again in my mind.I just sit down because my legs are weak."Why is your skin turning purple? What kind of makeup are you using?" This is a question for me."A-Ah, b-just a limited edition... maybe you can't buy that." When I was bragging and I heard him tsk. I rubbed my eyes because my vision seemed to be blurry._"J
"When do you plan to get married?" Vanessa asked suddenly, causing Stephen and I's eyes to widen."Marriage? Why did you ask Vanessa? Are you planning to mess with our wedding?" Stephen asked seriously and looked at him intently."It's not like that Stephen, I just want to know when.""We haven't talked about that yet, Vanessa.""Uhm, as far as I can see, you don't really seem like you're okay yet, I mean, congratulations...""What do you want to say? Straighten us up first.""Alyana, Stephen, I have a request for you two. Can you make your wedding even simple, you can do it again next month or whenever you want... I would like to see Stephen marry you Alyana. .."Vanessa held my hand and I stared at her, checking if she was joking or not."I'm being serious right now, I want to see you get married.""If you want to see us get married, don't wait for when we want--""I-I'm leaving here, maybe in the next few weeks as long as I don't catch up for months. I want to see the two of you wh
"Mom, I will introduce you to my boyfriend Stephen tonight--""Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?! Why didn't you tell us!""Mom, I told you a week ago, I mentioned him while we were eating--""What is that man's name? What family does he come from? is that rich or poor?""Stephen Wilson--""Wilson? Is her mommy's name Stella?!" He smiled at me, but that smile was strange."O-Opo," he bit his lip in response."Divorce that man now Vanessa!" He said authoritatively."A-What? Mom, I can't do that yet,/I love Stephen....""Don't you understand Vanessa?!! When I say it, you do it! Is it clear?!" My tears started to flow."I-I'm pregnant, so I won't divorce Stephen. We're both going to have a baby."On the day of our graduation, something happened to Stephen and me, and even then, I have no regrets."What did you say?!!" He stood up and spread his palm strongly on my face. I held my cheek, while my tears continued to flow.staring at my stomach so I immediately covered it."When the child di
Vanessa Taylor's Pov.I am now sitting at home while mommy and daddy are standing in front of me, looking intently."When did you come back to the Philippines?" Daddy's introduction.Because they don't know that I came home here, if I said that I want to go home, they know that they won't let me."I'm asking you Vanessa!!" There is anger in his voice."For one more week." I answered and just got bored."Why did you do that Vanessa?!!" Mommy held my arm tightly and I tried to remove it."Do what?!" I was very gentle and even flipped my hair. It's so hot inside, I'm sweating."Don't lie to us! Your sister told us everything, you took her daughter and she also told me what you were doing at that man's house!! Are you crazy!!""What if I'm going crazy?" I raised an eyebrow at them and made them struggle again for a long time to answer.I took a mirror from the bag and lipstick, even though my lips were still red, I still put it on.Suddenly, mom grabbed the glasses and lipstick I was hold
"What? Ohh hey, come in now." My jaw almost dropped at what mom said.Why will he sleep here? Why did mom agree?! There is no more space here for him and he will squeeze himself in!"We just finished eating, you son, haven't you eaten yet?""Not yet.""I'm aunt too." I turned to look at Stephen, tsk aunt? What aunt are you there?!I sat down and so did Stephen, he was in front of me now. I took the spoon that was on his plate."Wait, I'll eat," he blinked at me."Eh, don't eat." I promised and started eating."My spoon?""Why can you eat with your hands?" When I go"Hand? Can that be?""Should I tell you if it's not possible? Oh yes, I'm a liar so you don't believe me." When I listen"Wait, I'll just wash my hands."He promised.They're mom, I think they're already in their room, because it's late, so they're probably sleeping. Do they go to bed early? Well, it's still about 8 in the evening.Stephen came back and sat down again. he looked at me before taking a piece of rice and putti
I turned my back on him and started walking, I looked around and quickly wiped away my tears.I said I don't want to be here at the hospital! Why doesn't he understand?! I think he wants me to repeat what he says over and over again or maybe I should write it on his forehead so he won't forget.When I got out of the hospital, I just scratched my head because I didn't have the money for the ticket home."I'll take you." I frowned when I heard Stephen's voice behind me."I don't want to! I don't want to get in your car...it's ugly!""Eh, I won't buy you a new one that I'm sure you'll like.""Wait!" I couldn't stop saying, I turned my back on him and started walking."Alyana don't walk home with you! Your child might get sick!" He pulled my hand so I stopped.What kind of child is that? Why did anyone say that I will make the child walk home? I will walk, not the baby!"I'm the mother and I know best what's best for her-- what the hell! Put me down!!" I screamed when he suddenly lifted m
"Ah, well, the man suddenly pulled me out of the car and then grabbed me with a kiss--""Hey, you're not a rape anymore!" Flynn said angrily."It can't be said that it was rape because...heheh I responded to his kiss, I think we got into his car and then I was the first to take off his clothes then...I don't remember much, I was drunk and that guy looks like that too, hmm I feel like the guy is handsome and has abshe's still big then---" That's right Camille, you're rude when you listen, look at that Flyn oh, it looks like he's jealous because he's not the one with your virginity-- it's just a joke, bro! Relax, I'm on your side!""Wait, it's impossible that you didn't see his face?" I ask here."It was so dark I couldn't see.""But you can see the abs, what?" John asked with a laugh."I didn't see it! I touched it!"I glanced at Flyn because his face was serious and as if he was thinking deeply."Okay, it's embarrassing to say that. I saw his face, I mean! I don't know if that's reall
