"It's me....Grey." his voice was still the same. The same Grey I'd loved before but not the man I'm madly in love with right now.
"Why'd you call me?" I tried to sound like a normal friends did when they talked on phone and great, I did! I'd totally moved on."We should meet along, don't worry Vanessa will be here too. Our old friends, would you like to come?""When? Where?" It's been a long time that I'd never seen my college friends, close friends I mean."Tonight at Seattle bar.""I'll think first Grey. Bye." I ended the call."You're not coming." I was shocked when I heard him. I turned around only to see his face. I admitt that he's drop dead gorgeous but you won't really like him when helooks mad."Why not?" I ask him confused."You're just not." His voice was full of authority but I'm not scared. Why should I at the first place?"I can do whatever I want Treckk. And I'm going out."paKaugnay na kabanata

"Ainah! You came!" Bati sa akin ni Vanessa. Ang lakas ng music sa loob ng bar kaya more on sinigaw niya. Ngumiti lang ako habang papunta sa table nila."Of course!" Nakangiti kong tugon nung nakarating na ako sa pwesto nila. Isa-isa ko silang tiningnan. Malaki yung pinagbago ni Gela while Cynthia was still the same. Si Jeff ayun mas gumawapo siya, si Winter parang may nag-iba but hindi ko mafigure-out kung ano hanggang sa nagtama yung tingin namin ni Grey."Ainah."he said smiling at me. "Grey." Sabi ko naman tsaka sinuklian ang ngiti niya. They all know na ngayon lang kami nagkausap ni Grey after nung nangyari sa amin. Hindi kami nagkaroon ng closure that time cause I'd admit na natatakot ako at hindi ko pa rin kayang tanggapin na sa ganun lang mauuwi ang lahat.Walang ni isa man ang nagsalita hanggang sa naisipan ko na lang magtanong. "So kumusta na?" Changing the atmosphere."I'm engaged."nanlaki ang mata ko sa nari

Wala akong alam kung saan ako dinala ng mga paa ko. All I know was I'm here nakaupo at umiiyak. Later on, tear drops were falling. Sumasabay ang ulan sa agos ng luha ko. Andito na naman yung kaba sa dibdib ko tuwing umuulan. Tuwing umuulan may hindi magandang nangyayari. Natatakot ako sa ulan pero wala akong lakas para tumayo at magtago sa kulog.Maya-maya pa di ko na naramdaman yung mga patak ng ulan. Inangat ko yung ulo ko para tingnan yung langit pero nakita ko na naman siya dala ang isang payong."I know that you were afraid of it. Tumayo ka na Jan Ainah." He said."Why are you here? Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Bakit sa tuwing uulan siya lang palagi yung nandiyan para patahanin ako? Kung sino yung di mo ini-expect siya pa yong darating. "I don't need your help." I said in a cold tone."You're not a great lier so tumayo ka na jan Ain." I never listened to him but later on tumayo na rin ako at niyakap siya. I didn't know where did I get m

It's been a week, a week para makapag-desisyon talaga ako. Everything was now settled. Nakapag-decide na talaga akong doon na muna manirahan sa Paris. I was a kid since then na pinangarap kong pumunta ron.May matutuluyan naman ako dun kasi andun yung childhood bestfriend ko nakatira by this time. I just want to enjoy my life. And I admit part of it was because of Vincent and Grey. Nakakasakal na, kung saan-saan tuloy ako dinala ng kahibangan ko. Everything was now ready."Ainah, let's go downstairs." I raised my brow to Ell. Why is she here?"Why?" hindi na ako umangal pa pero Ell already dragged me down the stairs. Sobrang clueless ako kaya gusto ko siyang itanong kung para san 'to."Ell, what's this all--""Surprise!" and here they are. My cousins and few friends of mine but wala si Vincent. Maybe okay na rin yun kesa naman nandiyan siya."Para san 'to?" the surprise then yung mga pagkain like in a party."F

It's been three years. Years goes by and times runs fast. Maaring may nawala, may nagbago, may nanatiling ganun pa rin, at maari ring may dumating na panibago. Three years since I leave. Three years since I'd finally ended it. At sa three years na yun. Vincent Treckk Dela Vega had given me a beautiful remembrance. A souvenir that is worth remembering for and that is Vin Blip Aaron Saavedra. Yung anak namin ang magpapaalala sa akin ng bagay na yun. Siya ang magiging tanda ng aming kahapon. Noong mga panahong wala kaming inisip kundi ang tawag ng katawan namin.Si Vin ang naging bunga sa gabing yun. A forbidden night with my cousin. I can't hardly believe na nagbunga ang lahat ng ginawa namin ni Vincent. I've gotten pregnant by him. Vin was made out from our mistake but since he was born everything seems to be perfect. Giving him birth was the only perfect thing I know that I've done. Inaamin ko na at first, abortion was my first option but sooner naisip kong tinata

"Ainah! I'm glad you came! Couz! Kumusta na?!" Ell greeted us immediately when we entered in the lawn. Akala ko sina grandpa at grandpa sa mansion but base sa nadatnan ko there is something I think they are celebrating but I'm not sure what was it."I'm okay Ell." Tumingin ako sa likuran ni Ell and there they are, my family having a bonding time. Nandito pa kami sa malayo kaya they never saw us yet and I think busy sila masyado."What's the celebration all about?" tanong ko sa kanya. Vin was just wrapping his arms around my leg. How cute? "Engagement party ni Dan. Ayaw niya ng bongga kaya heto lang yung ginawa niyang party." Ibinaling niya ang atensiyon kay Vin."Hi baby... This is Vin, right? Geez! He's a mini version of Vincent!" I nod with a matching smile. Geezz I told you, kamukha niya talaga yung anak namin. For pete's sake wala pa talagang nagsasabi na kamukha ko siya or di naman kaya may pagkapareha kami. I was about to say something when

It was just 2:45 in the afternoon when Blip and I fall asleep and when the time I'm already awake and looked at my clock it says, we were really tired for almost sleeping 5 hours. Time check and it was already 7:15 in the evening. A few knocks were at the door."Come in." Ellie was revealed at the door. "Ain, kain na daw." Umupo siya sa may kama then binaling yung atensyon kay Blip na mahimbing pa ring natutulog. Ell touches his soft cheek, looked at me then smiled."What?" I innocently asked. I know, within her stares, there is something she wanted to imply and I doubt if it was good to ask about what does it mean all about."I just thought." She trailed. "You thought what?" I dared to asked. Curiousity always kills me. "If Vincent wasn't our cousin, he could be posssibly the father." I regret for asking her about what she was thinking. My heart drummed fast as soon as I'd heard it. "By the way halika na, nasa baba

"What now Vince?" Bungad ko sa kanya pagkapasok ko pa lang sa office niya habang siya naman ay prenteng-prenteng nakaupo. It's my first day in my job pero kanina pa ako pabalik balik sa opisina niya kasi andaming inuutos. Ewan ko ba kung secretary nga ba ang posisyon ko or what?"Missed me?" Walang pagdadalawang isip pa, kinuha ko yung sapatos na suot ko saka siya binato buti di siya natamaan. Pasalamat na lang siya at magaling siyang umilag. Paanong hindi ka maiinis kung sa dinamidami mong inaasikasong papeles bigla kang papupuntahin sa opisina niya tapos itatanong lang kung namiss ko siya? Ilang minuto pa lang yung nakalipas nung nagkita kami kanina tapos itatanong niya yun?Ganun na ba siya kadesperadong bwesitin yung buhay ko? Naku! Kung hindi lang siya ang ama ng anak ko edi sana matagal ko na siyang sinakal."Babe." Pinulot niya yung sapatos ko saka limapit sa may direksyon ko. He kneeled his one knee then kinuha yung isa kong paa. The way he touches

"Congrats!" Bati sa akin ni Ell while we are having our breakfast. Ako pa lang yung gising while Ell, bigla na lang sumulpot dito. Nasa mga papeles pa rin ang mga mata ko habang umiinom ng kape. Maigi ko iyong pinag-aralan. Ang bawat transactions na ginagawa. Maging ang mga nakatalang schedule ni Treckk sa susunod na mga araw ay nilagay ko sa alimpatakan ko. Mas malinaw na yung gawin ko yung trabaho ko ng maayos. Naiinis kasi ako sa katatanong niya palagi. If I know, he were just testing my patient. Well, I won't be tired of all his effin drama. Kung akala niya ay susuko ako. There is no way, I'll give up my work. "For what?" Natatakang kong tanong. Sa pagkakaalam ko, I never succeeded in anything. Nanatiling nakatungo ako sa bagay na hawak ko. I never take a glance towards Ell. "I've heard, nakasurvive ka for 1 week kay Vince being his secretary? Good for you. You were enemy since then kaya akala ko papahirapan ka niya. Remember him during college? Kay
