View from AYAH: When went to the restaurant the following day, couldn't help but wonder why Kent wasn't there. Is that so? voice inside my head broke the stillness. It was dull and dreary few days without Kent. don't know what I'm thinking. At the restaurant, went about my morning business as usual and ran across Kent's pal. gave him kind welcome. "Mr. Smith, good morning. The menu is here. Having handed him the menu, got out of there. Turning around was not an option when he spoke. "Ayah?" He had baritone voice that could cantor. As pivoted around, grinned at him. "Yes, sir?" spoke in an approachable manner. Looking at him, couldn't help but notice his good looks. Still, experienced nothing emotion. Looks like my heartbeat is normal. was at ease conversing with him. "I would like to invite you to dinner tonight." His expression softened as he grinned, revealing beautiful set of white teeth. He appeared to be model for toothpaste commercial. was taken aback, not knowing how to respond or react without hurting his feelings. beheld his pleading. felt an overwhelming sense of empathy. "Okay!" The speaker said the word carelessly. hadn't given it much consideration. It was too late for me to retract my response. His joy shone through his eyes. As his smile grew wider, his two dimples showed, enhancing his good looks. He had picture-perfect teeth. "That is fantastic! will come get you promptly at seven o'clock! calling card was his gift to me. He was named there when took quick look. One of the senior architects is John Gabriel Manansala. After taking it, departed. My break time was scheduled for thirty minutes. went out onto the balcony of the restaurant and stared at the bustling roadway below. glanced down and saw John Gabriel and Kent arguing. What on earth occurred? After receiving punch from Kent, John collapsed to the floor. was so shocked that had to cover my lips, but my eyes weren't closed. could not control my heartbeat as Kent's enraged glare pinned me to the ground. chill ran down my spine as beheld that menacing expression. His expression was one of wrath, as if were to blame for his anger. It was awkward for me. His gaze sent shivers down my spine. On his way to the parking lot, he stepped out. He proceeded to drive his vehicle until it vanished from my line of sight. With shake of my head, returned to the eatery. Following that encounter, worked my entire shift without seeing Kent. All of sudden, my heart hurt. just couldn't resist. Leaving the hotel was difficult experience. catch cab and tell the driver to take me to the university. Before long, the taxi had pulled up to the curb in front of the school's main entrance. disregarded the guards' greetings as entered the building. skipped lunch and headed straight to the cafeteria. Cleah was sobbing when glanced over at her in the corner. My question came as went up to her. "Hey there, bestie! How are you doing?" Could you kindly provide an account of what transpired? She had redder nose and puffy eyes. In an instant, she embraced me and sobbed onto my shoulder. comforted her by massaging her back while she sobbed uncontrollably. Once the crying subsided, we separated from one other. Looking into her eyes, didn't pass judgment. "You can tell me anything you know, don't you?" inquired with level head. In her stunning eyes, there was trace of uncertainty. took hold of her hand and gave it firm squeeze. "Nothing," she said, her tears wiped away. To you, "nothing" means what? Please tell me what it was because if it was insignificant, you wouldn't be crying like this. am Cleah, your friend. We have committed to one another! spoke in sulky manner. To facilitate my lunch purchase, she shoved me in the direction of the counter. gasped for air. Since am familiar with her well, cannot make her open up till she is ready. see that only have thirty minutes left as look at my watch. Cleah was no longer at the table when went back to retrieve my dinner. My phone alerted me that she had contacted me via beep. It is inappropriate to talk about what happened right now, Bff. I'm sorry. Home was where went. Class today will be skipped due to my illness. Because my thoughts are all over the place, doubt will be able to understand either. finished eating and went to class after reading her text. Cleah was correct, as had suspected. What are we talking about? hardly get it. Her predicament worries me. Even though wanted to be supportive and lend her hand, she rejected me. Aside from that, the only thing on my mind was the menacing stare from Kent. My major was already quite demanding, and now have to study medical terminology for an exam next week, which is much more daunting. Class as whole was dull for me. After my last class, abruptly left the room. Big are my steps. All want to do is go home and escape. The realization that the supper would be with John Gabriel caused me to bang my forehead. Even though actually had class, still said yes. What on earth was thinking? Upon retrieving my phone, discovered an overwhelming number of unanswered texts and calls. immediately dialed the number, but busy signal came over. Oh no! started writing note, but couldn't stop erasing it. Words fail me when try to express how feel. completely neglected to inform him that had an incredibly important class, so didn't even apologise. Apologies for the oversight—I had class till nine o'clock in the evening. want to apologize in advance if missed your call because my phone was on quiet. Okay, sent! feel tremor in my hands. Then returned my phone to its satchel. Once again, beheld my brother Mikael, raving lunatic, perched precariously on his motorbike, beaming to himself. mean, come on. Take break from smiling incongruously. You're essentially in mental institution! jested with him. In addition to donning the helmet, he squeezed my cheek. Mikael dropped out. No longer am child! reprimanded him with contempt. "Fine! Fine! Understood, my dear! He mockingly responded. rolled my eyes and tried to imitate his reaction. My brother shook his head and chuckled. "Hop in, Ayah, very melodramatic!" In my frustration, smacked him on the shoulder. Seen from the balcony were my parents. My mom was crocheting, which was her favorite hobby, and my dad was reading the newspaper. embraced my dad and kissed my mom. They have not yet received my arrival. "Pa/ Ma, are you not going to sleep?" Softly, inquired. "All we have to do is wait for you. Papa said, "We'll be going to bed soon," but he didn't even looked at me. Despite my fear, wanted to inform them that guy had expressed interest in dating me. And anyway, it had concluded. don't have class tomorrow, but still have lot to accomplish because it is Saturday. Project, research, and exam preparation. tell my parents goodnight. Analia caught my eye; she was decked up in seductive apparel and plethora of cosmetics. Just moment after that, flashy automobile pulled up to our driveway. Analia merely brushed past us when she went out. She failed to even acknowledge our parents' departure. Despite our constant presence, she never once looks away from us. glanced over to my parents, expecting reaction, but saw none. Not only did they not restrict her from leaving because it was late, but they also did not attempt to stop her. This has been our family dynamic ever since that happened when we were kids. Saying, "Ma/Pa, I'm going upstairs to rest, and it is getting late," spun around without waiting for their response. In preparation for bed, laid down my belongings and changed into my pajamas. It hurts and makes me feel weak all over. Tiredness has set in. As per my customary routine, rose early the following morning. Today is day off for me. pulled out my phone, and there were texts from Kent. You shouldn't accompany Gabriel later. When do this, you won't like it. Out of nowhere, felt surge of anxiety and my hands began to tremble. The show was canceled yesterday night. Has it concluded? In response to his warning, just shrugged. This dude is enervating me first thing in the morning, and already have ton of work to accomplish! Weekends are just fantastic! There was an opportunity for me to connect with my bothersome brother. woke up and changed into my workout clothes since my internal clock was buzzing. From the shelf, retrieved my shoes and fastened my hairstyle. apply fragrance mist to my body. Downstairs, dash. "Ayah, slow down!" Again, Mikael was shouting. He doesn't matter to me because I'm jogging with my headphones on. It was thirty-five minutes before dawn, according to the time on my wrist. am well-prepared. "Hi, can jog with you?" halt abruptly and fix my gaze on him. am taken aback. Oh my god, why is he even here? How he learned my address is mystery to me. "Ha—How did you know where live?" stutter-stepped. My breath was coming in shallowly. My hands were resting on my knees. With an arched eyebrow, peered across at him. "I must safeguard what is rightfully mine. Why don't we? Anxieties grew more worse. For fear of betraying myself, fled away from him without glancing at him. "What the hey!" As if to emphasize how unpleasant was, said it. Everything he wants to do, let him do. noticed many people jogging alongside their friends as we approached the plaza. To regain my composure, paused for moment. "Wow, never knew you were that self-conscious about your body," said, my expression one of disapproval. “What the fuck!?" He took out my earbuds and went over everything again. "You have no idea who am!" Having stated that, got up and left. He was just as quick as was. Then, with an amused grin, tell me something about yourself. "Wait, what are you doing?" My annoyance has reached critical mass. "Walking beside you?" he asked with an air of superiority. This guy needs spanking. kept walking until was within few steps of him, at which point he suddenly pulled me back and, in the most innocent way possible, devoured my lips. My heart began pounding, and found myself suddenly unable to breathe. am taken aback. Startled me deeply. This guy took my first kiss away from me. ***
