2024-10-29 19:42:56“Uhm. Excuse me, Dad, Kuya. Me and my friends are planning to meet right now.” I made an excuse again.
Queen of Excuses!
I laughed on my mind. I cannot help but to feel nervous too. I never expected to see the people whom I am hiding from. Well not exactly hiding, hindi ko lang sila gustong makita. Not because of anger, but the last time we saw each other might be the reason that made me feel it's awkward.
“Oh?” Namiel asked, probably to tease me. By the way that he's looking at me, I know what he'd like to tell me.
Namiel may always be cocky but his instincts were never be wrong. Kaya ayaw ko na lang rin siyang kontrahin minsan. Ako lang din ang maiinis kapag malaman niya ang totoo.
“Oo nga, nakaligtaan ko lang kanina.” dagdag ko pa sa kanila.
All of them were watching me, waiting for more excuses, I would say. Ev

“Oh my goooood! They are so adorable!” hindi ko mapigilang sumigaw sa tuwa nang makita ko sila.I can't help but to pinch their cheeks one by one. They even giggled that made me pinch them more.Having a baby fever is no joke.They're more likely a year old to four years old kids. Ang lalaki na nila at saka ang dami ko na talagang utang dito sa kanila. Iniisa-isa ko silang binigyan nang yakap at halik sa pisngi habang hindi pa talaga ako nakakapigil na manggigigil sa mga bata. Buti na lang rin lumapit rin sa akin sila kahit hindi pa nila ako nakikita sa personal. Ang huling lumapit sa akin ay ang pinakabata sa lahat kaya kinarga ko ito sa aking bisig at isinayaw-sayaw.“Oh? Inggit ka?” a friend asked me for fun. “Gawa ka na ring sayo, graduate ka na rin naman!” she added then chuckled as she hugged her husband.&

The next day came and as I opened my eyes, the first thing that came up unto my mind is the property title. Good thing that they're all in the dining table, eating their breakfast. They greeted their good mornings as I sat on my usual chair.“Uh. I saw an important paper on my desk, thank you by the way.” I said as they are looking at me.Namiel choked then I saw Dad glaring at him so he immediately drink his water.“Oh that.” Rawl cleared his throat then said. “Matagal na sana naming balak sabihin sayo kaso busy ka pa sa pag-aaral mo at ayaw naman naming magambala ka pa sa pag-aaral mo.”“You should have told me earlier so I could start the construction but it's fine. Thank you. I appreciate it like super a lot!” I thanked them again for the gift and we all went silent.“So what are your plan on that land? It's pr

No matter how hard we plan our future ahead for us to live in it will be Him who would decide for us in the end. But that does not mean we would just wait for it to happen. Sometimes praying and asking for guidance is the best way for us to take the right path.Every choice we'd take, even the smallest thing might be the reason to have our lives turn 360 degrees. We might as well savour the moment of the present. As we do things for a better future.Start doing different things with the same circumstances, since we cannot change the circumstances, but we can change ourselves. Even the smallest things.Because what you have in the moment, you've attracted the person you've become."I couldn't believe this would happen." I blew off the air from my mouth as I watch the construction going.Walang araw siguro akong hindi pumupunta dito. It just feels like

At least for now, I could have my free time. I would not probably do things faster that made me do lesser efforts."And please help me tell your brothers not to go abroad already. There business is well and so the could help you manage our rice fields. Some of my amigos are selling theirs to me na.""Why? What happened?" I unconsciously asked.It was never my intention to asked him questions about his friends. I prefer sticking out my nose on their business. It's their friends not mine. We were already told about this since we were kids."Loss of money, I guess?""Just lend them some of your money Dad. Don't buy it just yet. Baka naghirap lang, tulungan na lang nating makabawi.""Wow. Is that my kind of adulty princess?" he even teased me for being serious about the situation some are facing."I'm not a

“Congrats Tami! I love all your paintings!” he congratulated me as I walk towards him.He gave me a hug so I hugged him back and smiled. I am smiling but it fades when I saw a flash from my peripheral vision. It was my secretary for months, taking us a picture from my old Cannon camera.“Sweet niyo po naman Miss! Sana kayo na lang po, total matagal ka ng gusto ni Ashwin, parang simula highschool palang, diba Ash?” sabi ni Leah, dati naman itong kaklase kaya medyo kaclose na namin ito. Dapat nga pangalan ko na lang ang itatawag niya sa akin pero sabi pa niya dapat pormal daw, kaya ayon, hinayaan ko na lang.“Hay naku Leah! Ma-issue ka pa rin.” biro ko sa kanya bago pa inayos iyong aking suot at baka may gusot pa.I needed to look presentable so I could earn my confidence despite of being nervous, and my feet are starting to get numb.

Even if I felt uncomfortable, I managed to finish the concert because Ashwin and I planned to meet after their concert, so I literally have no choice but to wait for him. I just hoped I won't bump with Czesar again or else, I don't know what to do. It's not like I blamed him for leaving me but there is a part of it that proves the fact that he does. Pero parang kailangan ko na ring maghanda dahil there is a hundred of percent that I can see him since Ashwin and I agreed to meet at the place where they will be staying for a while after the moment of the concert.The place is really crowded as what I expected, marami talagang gusto makilala ang bagong bokalista ng grupo at hindi maman siguro sila nadismaya nang makita siya. Bet some of them knew Czesar already coz he was already famous and friends with them.Pinahupa ko muna ang ingay at kahit ang ilang tao bago ako magdesisyong pumunta sa powder room upang mag ayos.

“Wrong room.” sabi ko habang humihikab pa.I should be closing the door when he spoke again.“No ma'am. This is the room, room 108.” the delivery guy argued.I sighed before talking to him. “Sorry but I didn't order anything from your shop or resto. So please if you wouldn't mind, please leave because I still have a long hectic day. Thanks!” I told him before closing the door.Even if I am hungry, I wouldn't eat the food that I did not ordered, what if someone gave it to me and it has poison on it? Baka may taong galit sa akin, lalo na sa mga litratong kumakalat na iniidolo si Ash.I am planning to go on the shower room when I message arrived.Unknown:You kept me waiting hun, open the door and let's eat together..I looked at the ceiling, trying

“Ga! The children are already here!” rinig kong sigaw ng asawa ko galing sa sala kaya nagmamadali kong inihain ang niluluto ko na lomi.It looked so delicious as I added more egg than my usual lomi ones. I even cooked them round grounded meat to make it more tasty.Ever since I tried cooking this recipe they wanted to eat this every Sunday after their musical practice.Czesar never came back on the band and years after that, their band were disbanded due to their personal happiness. I heard all of them are now happily married. We also attended Ashwin's wedding and settle the things and misunderstanding between us.“I'm here in the kitchen!” sigaw ko pabalik habang inilapag ang nga kubyertos sa lamesa.
Summer to Forget Epilogue
When I was a child, I find love stories cliche. Until my parents broke up, there, I hereby hated love.I was still a little when I became bitter. Whenever I see young lovers, I picked something and throw it at them. Until one day, I eavesdropped. They were talking about my Dad and someone's Mom who are now happy with themselves and doing their illegal deeds.“So the Señor Marcil was left for that Chiongson man? 'di na baleng iwan ang lalaking totoong nagmamahal sa iyo para lang sa negosyong druga? Nakakaawa naman iyong mga bata, lalo na si Tamila, kegandang bata na iyon.”Tamila Marcil. . .Starting that day, I started to ask some people about that girl but the girl was nothing but a home girl. She was over protected by her father and her two older brothers which are twins.Years passed by quickly for me because I guess I had fun, I had fun on

Things between Czesar and I are getting better after he asked me to marry him. I actually got better too when I tried to put myself on my usual. Pero paminsan minsan ay hindi ko maiwasang makaramdaman nang pagkabalisa.I was also sad to think that I am one of the reasons why Czesar left the band. I knew that being on a band is his dream since he was a little. Hindi ko mapigilan minsang sisihin ang sarili ko kahit para na lang sa mga nakikinig sa kanila at sumusubaybay.As I looked at my reflection in the full-sized mirror. I can't help but to smile and feel pretty. We will be having our photoshoot for our wedding next week. I am here in my room with my make up artist and hair stylist. I am wearing a cream colored loose off shoulder long gown. The only detail of the gown was only at the upper part, it was like a cutted cloth from the same material that is used and the rest of it was plain. Inilugay lang ang maykulay kong buhok na

As soon as I stepped unto our house, I looked for Dad's presence."Auntie!" tawag ko sa kasambahay namin. Naramdaman ko namang nakasunod si Czesar sa akin. Dala iyong ibang bagahe ko.Kakarating lang namin galing sa aming mahaba habang flight, kahit na pagod ay hindi ko pa rin maisawala sa isip ko iyong anunsiyong may sakit ang ama ko."Ate!" tawag ko ulit nang walang ni isa ang sumagot sa tawag ko."Ga, how many cars are there in the garage?" I asked him despite of panicking I managed to deliver it soft."Four. Tito's car isn't there." he answered and I muttered him thanks.Our three helpers we're all not here. They must be out with Dad. Nang wala talaga akong makita ni isa bahagya akong kinabahan hindi dahil nakabukas lang ang bahay na walang tao kung hindi dahil pare pareho silang lahat na wala rito. Even if I feel my knees wobbling, nakaabot a

Hindi ko mapigilang magising dahil naalimpungotan ako nang may kamay na nakayakap sa akin at paa na nakatanday sa bandang binti ko. Insakto naman nang mapatingin ako sa bintana at nakitang may araw na.I unconsciously looked at his facewhen I heard him snore. I stopped myself from laughing and smiled. My hand went to his cheek until it went to his eyes and caress it.My eyes went down to his parted lips and touched it.I poked his cheek to wake him up but he didn't. Napagod siguro. Kaya imbes na gisingin ko siya dahan dahan na lang akong tumayo mula sa kinahihigaan ko ngunit bahagya naman itong gumalaw na tila bang hinahanap ako para may mayakap kaya hindi ko mapigilang matawa sa kaniya.And when he can't find me, I saw him panicked. His eyes opened quickly and when he saw me near on his feet, he sighed and gave me a warm smile. I am still covered with our

The next few days I got busier as I processed my ticket and as I have to be with Bella for three days because we are planning to surprise Rawl with a video presentation and to reveal the baby's gender for his birthday. Good thing that Bella accepted my request as I promised to have my schedule free for also three days for our vacation on a resort that messaged me last week."I am sure that Rawl will cry once he will see this," I commented as we watch the video that kept us busy for about three days."Just don't forget to film his reaction, Tami! I and baby with surely be mad." and touch her baby bump.She hugged me before leaving our house early so I could prepare for my flight tomorrow. She would also prepare her things because she will be living here next month. After all, she is living alone since she got pregnant!I was in the middle of putting my clothes in the luggage when Namiel called. I grab

My mouth hang open. "W-what?""Your order, Miss Gorg." he said again even if I heard him.My eyes automatically rolled at him and ask. "You are working here?""Yep." Popping the 'p'."But why?""So I could see you here from there." he pointed on the next building that I occupied as my office, where I spent most of my day.I frowned. "Idiot,""I know that you would not believe me but trust me, I am doing this for us. I'll probably kidding if I'd say I have no intention for us to get back together.""Oh. Trust me too when I'll say that you'll never get something from me. Tama lang na ibaon na sa limot ang mga nangyari noon. It wasn't worth any feeling from me, specially you." I said it with my eyes looking intently at him.I looked at their menu and chose. "Spicy

"Kapal pa rin ah!" I told him but it was more likely a joke."Ikaw pa rin ah!" he mocked.Tumawa na lang ako tapos kinuha iyong pagkain at nagsimula nang kumain. I was just feeding myself then I remember, I used to fed him foods when he was driving the car.Should I feed him?Wouldn't it be awkward?I hope so."Open your mouth idiot." that was I only said and fed him."At last! Yuho!" he celebrated happily.If we were still together, siguro nabatukan ko na siya dahil sa kaingayan niya. Binuksan ko iyong stereo niya kahit walang pahintulot. Wala pa ring nagbago sa sasakyan niya, even the smell? It still smells good ang manly. Kahit siya, hindi pa rin nagbago iyong amoy niya."Ah." he murmured and opened his mouth so I could feed him again.The next day after I got home I
