"Why is EIon sleeping here?" I tried to ask them, curious why Eion is here. He has his own house, right?
"He usually camps here when his mind is not clear. Wag mo nalang syang isipin, hayaan na natin yan." Hannah replied like it was the most usual thing in the world. Well, I was not close with my cousins so I didn’t experience something like this…guess they really are close with their family and relatives.We then spent the night playing a few cards hanggang sa inantok na kami.Bigla akong nakagusing ng madaling araw, my throat dry. Thirsty, I stood up and headed to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water.I went to the living room, too awake to fall back to sleep nang maalala ko na andito pala si Eion sa sofa natulog.I couldn’t help but look at his sleeping figure. Medyo madilim so I couldn't clearly see his face but he looked peaceful. One would think what he did to me earlier didn't even happen. That was too dangerous...especially forEion's POVI really hate her.Nosy.Ang lakas ng boses.Nakakainis.Irritating.Blatant.Annoying.I guess I said that again...And Pretty...Wait what?! Pretty? More like a hag!Admit it...I won't because she isn't.Well, if you say so...How dare she compare me to a robot?! No one has been that blunt with me that before! That damn girl has been getting on my nerves for days now.These few days, I've noticed something's always on my mind. No... Someone. I hate to admit it, pero lagi ko syang iniisip. Every time her face pops up in my head, iniiwasan ko sya. She's evil! She's messing with my head!I remembered the conversation at 'Sarah's Gowns'...“Hey bro, you okay?" Tanong ni Dax, to which I only nodded absently.Leroy cracked a goofy smile once he followed my gaze. "Well, who'd have known?" He grinned, "I think our friend here is in love!"I sent him a
“Not sure if you know thisbut when we first metI got so nervousI couldn't speak”Eto na. Ang pinakaespesyal na araw para kay Tita Maggie. Nagsisimula na ang kasal habang ang mga sponsors ay naglalakad na sa aisle ng simbahan.. The song 'Beautiful in white' by Shane Filan was playing. The church was filled with many people, sitting in rows of seats. Photographers, friends, relatives, coworkers, colleagues, ang raming umattend sa kasalan at hindi naman to kataka taka dahil ang raming kaibigan ni Tita. The fancy designs and decorations made me gawk, admiring every little detail of it. The dim lighting and the white daisies attached to the arch in the stage were like leading us in something like a fairy tale. Everything was just...magical.The priest was already on the stage, ngumingiti sa mga bisita. The groom was also already in front of the best man, at may malaking ngiti sa kaniyang labi. Tita Maggie's favorite flower, white daisies, is placed i
Matapos ang kasal, pumunta agad kami sa handaan. The reception was in a famous high-end restaurant. Tables and chairs were placed in each corner, the beige colored-tablecloth was placed on each table. The bouquet of daisies is placed on each table. In a corner were daisies styled in a heart form. On the ceiling placed a cloth styled in a fancy manner. Chandeliers are located high above, slightly lighting the room since the sunlight was entering through the big transparent windows, lighting up the whole reception.Sa harap ng stage, where the newlywed couple was sitting on a chair. They were surrounded by people, giving them hugs, and congratulating them. The soft tune that was playing from the speakers was masked by the chattering, laughing, at ang saya lang ng buong lugar. The aroma of food is lingering in the air. Hindi ko maiwasang mapatingin sa direksyon ng pagkain, my stomach growled and I smiled in contentment once I saw the table filled with diffe
Soon after that, nakita ko nalang si mama papunta samin with her own plate of food."Snow, do you want chocolate-?” She blinked at me, then looked at Luke from beside me once she noticed him, “Why hello there handsome... ikaw si Luke diba?" Tanong nya, sitting right beside me, at nasa kaliwa ko si Luke. Luke broke into a grin nang makita si mama, "Hi, Mrs. Waterstrings. Yes, I am Luke. It's a pleasure to meet you," He said before complimenting her with, “You’re beautiful po na mukhang magkapatid kayo ni Snow.” Ooh, so he’s charming my mother?I didn’t know how mom believed him, dahil tawa nang tawa na si mama sa kanya, halatang naloko rin at tuwang tuwa kay Luke. At least alam ni Luke paano kunin ang loob ni mama. Hindi na ako mahirapan pa.Nang makarecover na sya, nagsalita na sya, "Now, enough of those niceties. Just call me Aunt Evy since you two are in a relationship," sabi nya pa. A look of shock was evident on my flushed face. Gosh, ayoko nang mamula ngayon’ "Mom... hindi
Nagising ako ng may ngiti sa labi pagkinaumagahan. Luke texted me last night, saying that he will take me to the park today.It's a date.It's not, Snow. Stop dreaming.Besides, we agreed that we will tag along with Nathan and Caleb. So hindi ito date Ang sarap talaga sa feeling pag walang trabaho. Ah, buti at Sunday ngayon.Yawning, hinanap ko na ang cellphone ko para icheck ang social media ko. Noticing that there's no difference happening in these past few hours, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After doing my morning routine, bumaba na rin ako para kumain. "Morning mom!" I greeted her with a big smile on my face."Morning sweetie," she said. Grabbing utensils, I served myself and at umupo sa tabi ni Nathan. I ruffled his hair playfully and ate.I was in the middle of eating nang mapansin ni Mama. "Hmmm, parang may iba. You’re blooming today." I gulped down my food first before replying."Mom? What are you talking about? I'm alw
I looked down and noticed a boy about Nathan's age. He seemed familiar, then at bigla ko syang naalala. He was the boy who came from the shop to order strawberry ice cream last time and he has been one of Nathan’s playmates back at Tita Maggie’s mansion. It's Caleb."Oh hey, Caleb!" I said, kneeling down on my knees nang makatapat kami. Tiningna nya ang aking mata ng ilang segundo before finally smiling at me, "You’re the pretty girl! Hello!" "You knew each other?" Gulat na tanong ni Luke."Yup!" exclaimed Caleb. "She served me my ice cream last time at Eion’s shop!"Luke looked at me questioningly, checking kung tama ba ang sinabi ng bata. Nagkibit balikat ako."Your name is Snow, right?” Caleb asked, talking like he’s not just some five-year-old. Napansin ko na parang mature magsalita ang bata kung titignan sa kanyang edad. I nodded at his question, “Opo.” Tumango sya, “I see. You became prettier! Just like your picture from
Is it the moment?Is he going to kiss me?Pero parang hindi pa ako prepared. Nang maramdaman kong malapit na sya, bigla nalang may nag stop sa amin. "Snowwy!" We jolted in surprise and Luke at nag break apart na kami. With my flushed cheeks, I diverted my gaze to the ground."Snowwy?" Tanong ni Nathan sa harap namin, confused. I forced myself to raise my chin and looked at my brother, smiling."There's ice cream over there!" He exclaimed excitedly."Yup! Buy us some ice cream!" Agreed Caleb.I just look at Luke questioningly, asking if he’ll agree to their request.He shrugged and broke into a grin. "Sure! Let's go!" He said as if nothing happened. Like the almost-kiss didn't happen.We stood up and followed them. "Where is it?" Tanong koed. "Over there!" They both pointed their hands at a far corner of the park, a vendor selling ice cream."What do you want, kids?" Asked Luke when we reached the vendor."I want vanilla!" Nathan answered happily."Mine is Strawberry! Like Eion's fav
After that “date” with Luke, we stopped by a fast-food restaurant and grabbed a bite there. He apologized, embarrassed that he brought me into a fast food restaurant on our first date. Hindi naman nya kasalan. It was Nathan and Caleb who forced him to go here. Luke’s plan was originally to eat at a high-end restaurant. Okay rin naman sa akin kahit saan. Pipili pa ba ako? Libre na nga to…“It’s fine, I really enjoyed today Luke,” sabi ko pa, assuring him. Well, I really don’t mind it. It’s really fine for me. But Luke seems so affected by it as he felt a bit disappointed, saying that he could do better than this. “Then how about you take me on another date? But during that time, that’s the date that I consider as our first.” Pag suggest ko pa, cheering him up. He brightened at this at tumango aggressively, “Yes. Mas maganda yang idea na yan. Salamat.” Sinundo nya na ako at si Nathan pauwi after that and as usual, I spent my weekdays working at t
