End

I woke up feeling extreme headache and soreness in my eyes. Nang tingnan ko ang oras ay tanghali na pala. Austin was supposed to pick me up today. Pero hindi na iyon mangyayari pa.

I checked my phone and there was one message from him.

Austin:

Gia.

Just that one. I immediately felt a lump forming in my throat. Pinigilan kong umiyak ulit habang binabasa ang nag-iisang mensahe mula sa kanya. Masyado ba siyang abala kagabi para iyon lang ang masabi niya? Was he too guilty? Ayaw niyang magpaliwanag o makipag-usap man lang?

Ininda ko ang mga nararamdaman ko at pinilit na pumasok sa klase. I only have one class today. Wala na si Kuya Van at Aspen nang bumaba ako pero nag-i

She badly wants me to get up and go on with my life.I've been caged for the past days. It seems like my life stopped and I don't know how to proceed anymore. Parang simula noong dumating si Austin sa buhay ko, nagkaroon ng bagong sistema sa pamumuhay ko. And now that we're over, it's like I hit the hard reset and I'm back to square one. That's how he completely rooted his way into my life. Tipong ngayong wala na kami, hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko."I don't want to go to school, Mom..."Chanston University reminds me of everything. I know for sure that if I go to school, I won't be able to learn anything. Kasi si Austin la

    DeservingAgatha looks so immersed in the movie while Inigo's just busy eating. Kinuha ko rin ang inumin ko at pinanood ang palabas. Baka maintindihan ko naman kahit papaano.Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit parang ang sama sa akin ng tadhana nitong mga nakaraang araw... The movie revolves around a love story with cheating issues. And really, of all themes, iyon pa talaga..."I'll go out," bulong ko kay Inigo.I can't watch it. I just can't.Paupo pa lang sana ako sa bench sa labas ng sinehan nang makita ko na sumunod naman sa akin agad 'yong dalawa. Hindi na nila tatapusin?"Pangit naman no'n," sabi ni Agatha. I know she's just saying that. Sobrang invested niya kaya sa panonood.

    SayangI never understood what Sandro meant. Or maybe I did. I just don't acknowledge it. Ayokong isipin. Ayokong bigyan ng pansin. I have so much to deal with right now."Damn. I think my brain will explode," sabi ni Inigo nang makalabas kami sa room. We just had our last exam for the semester. Halos lahat kami ay nawindang sa exam ni Prof. Alarzar dahil wala lahat ng pinag-aralan namin sa exam na binigay niya."Murder is a crime. Murder is a crime," Agatha chanted as she calmed herself down. Gusto na niya yatang patayin si Prof dahil sa exam na 'yon."At least it's done?" sabi ko. We're free. Sa wakas. It has been a tough sem. Kahit pa mabait naman 'yong ibang prof, mayroon din talagang exception."Gi, hatid ka namin sa airport?" I

    Sayang "What's happening here?" tanong ni Austin, pabalik-balik ang tingin sa amin ni Sinara. By now, I know he already deduced that I pushed Sinara. I saw the longing in his eyes when our gazes met. But no, I refuse to be affected by it. We're done. We already hit the dead end. "Gia," he called. Sumulyap ulit siya kay Sinara na nahihirapang tumayo. If I know, she's just faking it. Hindi malakas ang pagkakatulak ko sa kanya. Walang wala iyon sa lakas ng sapak niya sa akin. "Well, nothing glamorous. Sinara just plagiarized my Madeline painting. She also attacked and slapped me. Nothing extraordinary... Just the natural embodiment of her trashy attitude," I said. "And Austin, there's nothing to talk about anymore." Tumaliko

    Heal What my family thought of as my short vacation turned out to be the total opposite. I asked to spend vacation with my brother... and suddenly, I moved out to California and spent the next eighteen months living alone. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano ko nagawa iyon. All my life, I've been with my family. The adjustments I had to undergo weren't easy. My parents didn't approve of my decisions but they can't exactly do anything. I felt sorry for disappointing them but my mind was made up. Ayoko na munang bumalik. Right after I landed in Ohio, I begged Kuya Theo to help me. I begged him to don't ask questions and just help me move out. I don't want to live near him. I wanted to live far away. I was a wreck then. Ni hindi ko alam kung paano ulit magsisimula. Hindi ko alam kung paano magpapatuloy. When I asked Kuya Theo to

    Heal "I will miss you all.... Punta kayo sa Pilipinas. Maganda roon," I said. I immediately saw how their foreheads creased with what I said. "Is she cursing us?" "I think it means we're all going to hell?" "Or maybe it was I love you. We all know Gia can't say those words to us. Maybe in Filipino she can." I can't help but laugh. Dumating na ang iba naming kaibigan kaya mas lalong umingay. Pinagkaguluhan nila 'yong sinabi ko. They have different ideas. Natigil lang nang sabihin ko kung ano ang translation. They were all disappointed. Nag-eexpect kasi sila na I love you 'yong sinabi ko. I am actu

    Moved onMom was so stressed three days prior to Kuya Theo's wedding. Siya pa 'yong mas problemado sa aming dalawa... Apparently, the dress I would wear for the wedding is big for me. Akala kasi ni Mom, same pa rin ang size ko...While in California, I kind of lost weight kaya medyo maluwag sa akin iyong damit na pinagawa. Sobrang paranoid na ni Mom kasi baka raw hindi maayos kaagad."Chill, Mom. The designer can fix it," I said to calm her down. Kanina pa kasi siya pabalik-balik ng lakad dito sa loob ng kwarto ko."He should. Immediately."Napailing na lang ako. She's not my mother if she doesn't panic as to what we would wear for literally any event we'd go to."You should've asked for

    Moved onNang makabalik ako sa bahay ay agad akong dumiretso sa office kasi nandoon lagi ang parents ko pati na rin si Kuya Van. Kuya Theo's in his condo so I can't ask him directly. Ayoko rin naman kasing pumunta roon kasi malayo pa mula sa resto na pinanggalingan ko."Kuya! Can I ask something?" tanong ko nang makapasok. Siya lang kasi iyong nandoon sa loob."What?""How the hell did Austin get invited to Kuya's wedding?!"Kuya Van stopped what he's doing and looked at me."Mom and Dad were the ones who put him on the list. Okay lang din naman kay Theo at sa bride to be niya," Kuya Van said."Wow..."

    Austin Javier's life before he met Georgina Meredith"Javi!" Jaco called. I was dribbling the ball and I passed it to him. He immediately released it for a three-point shot. When it went in, he celebrated and looked in my direction. "Nice assist!" he shouted and I acknowledged him.I started running to the other side of the court and guarded the opponent."You're unbelievably serious today, bro. Practice game lang, e," my teammate from the opposite team said.It's true that it's just a practice game but that doesn't give me the pass to slack off. Papalapit na ang UASA kaya dapat pagbutihin ko pa lalo. My teammates don't think the same, though. Probably because this is the second game already and the first one was too tiring. Everybody was giving it their all. Kaya ngayon na pang

    Georgina Meredith’s life before she met Austin Javier"Georgina!"Nilingon ko ang tumawag sa akin habang tinatahak ang hallway ng main building at nakita ko ang isang senior ko."Ano po 'yon?"Nakahabol siya sa akin at hinihingal na inabot ang hawak niya. Envelope iyon at mukhang may letter sa loob. Hindi pa man nabubuksan ay alam ko na kung ano 'yon. The design of the envelope already gave away the letter's intent. Love letter ito, alam ko."You dropped this from your book," he replied and glanced at the book I was holding. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil paano naman napunta 'yon sa libro ko? Kahit nagtataka ay tinanggap ko iyon."Thanks... Sorry, you had to run after me for this."

Ang isang guest room ay halos mapuno na dahil doon namin dinala ang malalaking regalo."Not to sound too ungrateful but wow, there's no end to this," I said when I finished unwrapping another gift.Nakaupo ako sa carpet ng living room. I can already feel my leg cramping up so I decided to stand up and stretch. Hindi pa man nakakapag-unat ay marahan na akong hinila ni Austin para maupo sa hita niya. His arms immediately wrapped around me."You can rest. We're not in a rush, are we?" he whispered before gently kissing my cheek. Dahil nakasandal ako sa kanya ay madali

Sana si Rex na ang susunod!"Kaliwa't-kanan ang mga bati na natatanggap namin ni Austin mula sa mga bisita. It feels heartwarming and at the same time overwhelming. Who knew this many people care about us? I personally didn't so I treasured each and every wish they had for us."Are you tired? We can rest for a bit and eat while we're at it," Austin said."I can manage. Mamaya na lang. We need to greet the other guests pa."Mat

It will be a second wedding."Ilang beses ko nang nabanggit na nagpakasal na kami ni Austin sa Vegas pero parang hindi tumatatak sa kanya 'yon. It's just funny to me because I know exactly why she's being like that.When my family learned about my first wedding, they were all disapproving. Not in a negative way, though. Iyon bang parang nagtatampo sila na hindi ko pinaalam sa kanila agad. They knew about it months after."'Tsaka ang bilis n'yo lang naman pumayag nang magtanong sainyo si Austin, e," dagdag ko.
