TWENTY-FIRST: The Last Piece
I feel so cold all everywhere. I feel like all the eyes were at me.
Trust. A simple word yet perform something huge inside us. In questionable, who deserve this word as in their back?
Right after that moment of talking with Marcus, I can't say if it made me paranoid or whatever but I just felt so threaten wherever I goes. As if there were people fallowing me, holding a knife and already planning to stab me.
“Asthreittle!”
Mabilis ang nangyari. Ang tanging alam ko nalamang ay mayroong humila saakin pabalik sa gilid ng kalsada.
“Gago! Kung mag papakamatay ka, huwag ka nang mandamay ng iba!”
I panted.
Ang sasakyan na iyon ay halos mahagip na ako kung wala lamang humila saakin.
How was it to be the moon? To be the moon either? To be Armstrong whose the first person who lift off his feet on the ground on this loving moon? How was it to be love priceless despite of its none the less imperfections. How was it? Can I be the moon?The moon for you?The prologue was seems too shallow with a current depth. I could now be so sure that the author of this novel is a kind of moon addicted, well, maybe I could say that because all of this author's stories, novels, one shots, however mystery of thriller it was, the moon have and always going to have its own character, not just mostly but all of the piece of work of this author.I smile and close my eyes.Ang galing niya..I put my earphones on. The sound of vehicles that keep on beeping that were maybe due to this annoying traffic, were giving an ache to my balmy ears. Why do they have to keep on beeping their vehicles?! Will that help in this situation and make the move
SECOND: The Offer “...alas tres ng hapon natagpuan ang lahat ng droga. Kasalukuyan pang iniimbistigahan ang naturang lugar at ang mga nakatakas ay patuloy paring pinag hahahanap. Samantala, ang
“If you don't want to accept it, then don't,”My brows arched. Akala ko ay ipapaliwanag na niya saakin.I was about to utter another word. I want to object about her but a sudden ring of the telephone on the side of her table rings.“Hello?” She said to the line.I looked away. Giving her a privacy.“Oh, really?” surprise crossed her tone.Wow, I looked away but my ears were keep from evesdropping. Nice.“I'll be there, save it for a scope.” She said before their call ended kasabay ng pag balik ko ng tingin sa kaniya.A little grin was plastered in her lips. She play on h
Mag aalas onse na ng gabi nang dapuan ako ng antok, I even forgot my mother's words to me as she called awhile ago. I faced palm and lazily grabbed my phone. It's already ten p.m so I doubt if the senator is still up in this hour. I rolled my eyes and turn my laptop off. I opened the window to welcome the cold and fresh air from outside.Three years ago, the longest holder of the Editor in Chief position of our university graduated, and guess what? He become the highest positioned police officer. How come that he end up being a protector of that drug syndicate. That was too shameful. I could even remember hearing a lot of praise to him way back when I was in high school. He has the most authority and he is so respectable during their batch. I can't just think and put it inside my head that he become like that! Oh gosh.
What. The. Actual. Hell?Seriously? When did that website start throwing some riddles?I blink a couple of times, sinking that context that have just read. If this is the actual website that I used to visit, I could precisely tell that it wasn't graduate from that. That website reveals evidences that could point out a kind or frightful crime and doings of such a heightened classes of people, I could already tell that the main are those politician either way part of government which is on the nose of the person behind that site. How come this happened?Staying up too late was never, ever, really part of my vocabulary, well I could say that the idea was on the hook but doing that wasn't really part of my lif
The morning classes went nice but it was just a kind of different the fact that some were consciously glancing at me knowing that I've just became the vice-chairperson of the students committee. Well, I can't blame them. It was just a second week of the classes and then we already had our new vice-chairperson, who is me. FunnyDuring my last morning class, I received an approach from a one professor I have no idea whoever is, informing me about something I don't even fucking understand.Bumuntong hininga ako.I don't know what comes into Crizeliah's mind to put me as the vice-chairperson's position. I was a kind of confused too about the previous vice-chairperson's state when I saw
"If that's the case, you don't have anything to bother about.."I let out a sigh and stare at Crizeliah. We're here in the Jershey's Café De Letá infront of my apartment building. Here is where we both decides to meet up tonight, aside that it's favorable in my part that it's way nearer than any other place she could think, it's also way on private so we could had a privacy in ours."Do you think she dropped out because of me?" I asked."Why would she? Sino ka ba?" "Alam mo ikaw, napaka ano mo. Editor-in-chief ka na niyan?" I rolled my eyes.
"Don't be blind. Everything were in purpose. You won't knew it for nothing.."AGAIN, for the nth time, I sigh and hardly closed my eyes. Usually, as arriving in my apartment the first thing I would surely do is to find were my slippers are-to went to the bathroom and have a bath but so far but not so good, here I am laying in my bed with the same outfit and wearings which I have used in the mall, agonizing the previous vice-chairperson's words to me.Freak.In her words, as far of those were no even having any scourges or threats, maybe I was just over reacting towards her words. Lahat naman siguro ng nangyayari sa buhay natin ay in purpose, hindi ba? I mean, why wouldn't it be? And as of she said those, I won't knew it for nothing-well, technically, everything we knew were never for nothing, right? It came towards us as having any reaso

TWENTIETH: TrustMaybe in my whole life, I could say that that's the most undeniably chest attacking moment I could ever enhance.Everything around me seems to froze as if it's making me feel even more how terrifying my state was.I wanted to run away. I wanted to put the phone down and just don't mind what Marcus have said. I even wanted to throw off the thoughts of it and just not think if that but simple thing really did not make any sense. As in nothing made any.I could remember how I told myself that I will only face what the consequence will going to be throw over my face after doing all the things I have done. After all, I have no one to blame on, it's just me because all decisions I have done reflects all the thoughts I've resembled.Pero kahit gaano talaga natin ihanda ang mga sarili natin para sa isang bagay, we
NINETEENTH: I Know You“SANDALI,”As her voice cupped around, I stopped but still did not paid her any bit of glance. I just don't think if I can look at her. It just made me reminisce what happened before.I was already fine. Ayos na ako na nakasama ko sila for a short time, at least diba that I felt like I've been part of them for awhile, pero hindi pala talaga maitatanggi na nananatili parin ang pagitan ko sakanila. We're still not okay, I am still bitter.“Asthreittle..” she called from behind. I breathed and just look over the floor.“If they
EIGHTEENTH: HiddenHow.But not the carabao.Tsk.How, that's the only question filling all the space in my head at the moment. Like how must it be Joe the one behind the website? I know I barely seen Joe but, I was really confused and puzzled. I don't know if I would think of Joe being the one behind that website or not.But Xheidan said it's from the website.The only document inside that room is the document I took a photo of.Or maybe there is other one yet I have no idea of?Goddamn it! Hindi ko alam ang iisipin ko!If it's Joe, why is he one of the investigators? Don't tell me nag papanggap lang siya? How about Reigh? Does he know about this too? But damn, I don't even know if it's Joe or not 'cause I have no any other basis that Xheidan saying that
That prosecutor... he would now stand as a defendant's attorney?Oh yeah, I know that I'm not that familiar in such a court abouts and even lawful matters regarding on how the trials were working, but I was a kind of freaking confused of why did that prosecutor will now stand as the attorney that would defend the Police Officer who was a protector of a drug syndicate!Don't tell me, Police Officer Arthur Rene would deny the accusation and plea not guilty? If that so, they're saying that all the evidence have taken were all fake?! Seriously?! As far as I could remember, those investigators who held that case and even had the evidences were Joe and Reigh. At ang mga evidence nila ay nanggaling sa website! Ugh! They were just makin
Is loving the moon really means being safe from the pain? Kung ganon ay gusto ko nalang mahalin iyon tulad ng pagmamahal ni Xheidan sakaniya.Maybe now I realized... I realized why Xheidan was always there, staring at his loving moon. He's having an accompany from his loving moon. It's his rest, it's his calmness. I'm glad to know that Xheidan has a soft part too.The day after, I don't know what is up with myself that I woke up earlier than my usual although I've already battled with myself last night before sleeping that I would rest all day and review the whole afternoon. Maybe masyado lang akong nasanay na gumigising ng maaga dahil halos weekends kaming nag kikita-kita para pag usapan ang ganap sa website.I sighed and let myself fell off the bed. I want to relax. I want to feel pleased after what happened.This is way better, far from hassle. S
“IS THAT true?”How could you say if something is real or not? How could you say if the ladder you're taking would bring you up or down? How could you say if everything you oversee are real or just all fantasy?How could you realise if you are just fooled by?When someone guide your path going to the truth.As I brought myself inside Crizeliah's office, my voice immediately filled inside the entire room. I was in a sudden stun when I notice Tax stand from his seat as he saw me but my system is too preoccupied in Crizeliah, making me have no time to think why Tax is even here after being not around for the whole week.
“Hello po, Senator?”I answered over my phone as the Senator called off. I was still in tense as of knowing that our professor declared that he won't give any special quizzes to us, in additional on what happened last day. It's totally burst out.“I heared, you cut a classes two times. Is it true?” I could overheard the thunder in his voice.Damn. I'm speechless, I don't know what word to utter as a reply to him. I feel like being toasted by my own sheep. He's the senator who I am being scholar. It's definitely not good, I know it, and the fact that he knew it, I'm doomed. I never expect him to knew this that fast although I know he has a lot of connections in the University, it was still unnecessary, that the news flew that instant.I feel like I'm going to fell off the floor anytime. I knew it, cutting classes would neve
“WOW! HINDI KO ALAM NA MAY JOWA NA PALA AKO??”I glared on Marcus who just frown on me. I cleared my throat and then gasped!Well, as for you to know, this Marcus just told someone over the phone that I am his girlfriend when we're in the coffee shop awhile ago. We both are now in my apartment unit 'cause Marcus asked me to bring him somewhere private and the only place I know private is this. May tiwala naman ako sakaniya kahit papaano.“Ganito kasi 'yon,” He sigh.“Ano?!” I widened my eyes to him and crossed my arms.Just make sure that it's an acceptable reason because if not? I would surely punch him in his face! Pag may nag chismis saaking may boyfriend na ako at nakarating sa parents ko ay isusumpa ko talaga ang lalaking ito.“Someone called me, right
