Orion was laughing while starting his car and seemed like teasing Kolten who was seated on his side after parking his car and have no choice but to leave it there. I was sulking, and I hate it, but I did not know whom I was annoyed with. I guess I was a bit harsh on Kolten, but it just made me think why did Lia's button was left there.
"Astrid, is it that disgusting that you can't bear staying in his car for an hour of the trip?" Orion was laughing and took a glance at Kolten who was just frowning and looked so irritated.
"Stop talking nonsense, bro." Kolten nudged him and dropped the window. We were about to take another way and I really liked seeing how fresh and peaceful it was. I suddenly received a message from Zette, and I guess she

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Grandpa, should I get here there?" He chuckled a bit and tapped my shoulder twice. We heard grandma shout for the nth time as if scolding Astrid. She already knew that Astrid was not good at it, but I just could not understand why she needed to ask her to cook for our lunch. We ran there for the third time, but Grandma shouted against me and told me not to disturb them in the kitchen. I guess it was not a good idea to bring her here today. I was really hoping that she was feeling better now. "Just wait for them here. Your grandma is harmless. She won't hurt her. Her voice was just that loud. Let just wait for a moment, and they probably finished cooking for our lunch. You two should relax and just watch-" a loud voice of my grandma cut him and cause me and Orion to run and forgot how ma

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I was hardly tried to keep my eyes open despite the fact that these tired eyes of mine really wanted to take a deep nap. So I decided to take a quick shower the moment I entered my room, I smell a flowery scent as I dove into my bed, probably because of the new liquid detergent used by my mom in washing my pure black bed sheet, and comforter, along with the cases of my two long pillows and a fluffy squared one that was on the top of my bed, which has the same dark color to match it up, I just changed last night. I opened a small white table right next to my wardrobe that was built into the wall and got my wireless hair blower and used it to dry up my hair. I turned on the air humidifier given by Orion last week, it cause fresh air to circulate inside the room that gave me a sense of relaxation. My room was inspired by Astronomy. Its ceil

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I haven't talked to Astrid since yesterday. She looked so tired and still in nit mood to talk to me the moment I woke her up after I dropped her off yesterday. I missed three calls from Lia. I just sighed, thinking what was up to her. I mean, I was hoping that I was wrong since she knew from the very start that it is Astrid, only her. And I did not want everything to be awkward between us. "You mean, you did not notice it even before?" Orion chuckled a bit while still nailed his gaze in the pack of potato chips he was about to open, but refuse to as I threw him my indignant stare. He probably remembered how I abhorred whenever he brought and ate anything inside my room. "It was Ashton whom she likes, right?" I rolled my eyes and opened the chips he was holding earlier and handed them back to him, which made him smile so sheepishly. "She probably accepted the fact that she can't be with him. And

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "It is good to see you again. Can I sit here with you?" That man struck a chord with me. It seemed to me that I had seen him before. He gave me a bright smile that made me remember when was the last time I saw him. He was the guy I bumped into one morning on the campus and accidentally been poured out the coffee on his jersey because of me. Unlike before, some of the strands of his hair were still a bit wet and looked as if he just got out from the bathroom, but already wearing his blue jersey short and a white shirt that has a tiny printed 'Z. X. Harris' on the upper left side of his shirt was hard not readable especially when you were far from him. I stood as I realized that he was actually waiting for me to at least say yes. "Yeah, sure. I mean, I don't mind." He gently run his hand on

ASTRID TALITHA'SPOINT OF VIEW After class ended, when everyone in the classroom was making their way out of the door painted in brown, and Orion hastily placed a kiss on my forehead and waved a goodbye telling me that he needed to go home early since this weekend will be the birthday celebration of his younger sister, Sani, I saw Kolten still sitting at his desk as I came back from the restroom. He did not even look in my direction as I was making my way going to my desk right next to his to get the book I left. His jaw tightened and slowly chewed his gum before he faced me with his tranquil gaze. "Can we talk now?" I heard his sincerity in his tone. I just looked away and just got my book that was on my desk before turning mine against him. I looked back at him as I held the doorknob. "How long should I wait for you outside?" I saw a sudden change in his expression and hastily grabbed his

ASTRID CALLIOPE'S POINT OF VIEW I was gradually awoken by the warm rays of sunlight that were filtering into my room as a gentle wake-up call. As I was visited the kitchen, I saw the breakfast was already ready. Ashton already prepared my meal this morning, before he went to the office as he was about to attend a seminar for the new program proposed by one of the business units assigned in the accounting department with accordance in sustaining the high status of the sales during these past few months after the new product of our company had been launched. I really commended him for being so hardworking. He even managed to be on the top rank in their campus despite the fact that he was actually the one who manage some branches of our business here. I never hear him complaining regarding this matter. I found him so dishy, and I really see how good he was in everything that he does, just like Dad. "Don't forget

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Hello, Sani! Did you enjoy your party?" she was already wearing her pajamas while combing her hair as she was sitting in Orion's bed. She gave me a genial smile and cheerfully nodded her hair. "I really did! By the way, have you been to a theme park before?" She asked from nowhere that made me give her a perplexed glance before reluctantly nodding my head as a response to him. She let me see the storybook she was holding, and I saw how she struggled on turning it to another page, which made me decide to sit beside her to help her out. As I turned it, I saw a big picture of a theme park. "Do you wanna visit a theme park?" She was looking at it passionately. I took a glance on the right side and seemed like thinking carefully before giving her an answer. She looked like Auntie. I suddenly remember when Orion told me that he made her cry as he pinched her cheeks when Auntie asked him to look for he

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "Astrid, I will book later when everyone's in their room." He put down my bag and gave me my phone that I probably left during outside. He went outside as he saw me about to change my clothes. I always admired him for being so gentlemanly. I took a bath as quickly as I could knowing that he might be waiting for me outside, I was holding my wireless hairdryer. I was wearing a white halter top paired up with denim shorts. I dialed his number while I was in the front of the mirror, but I heard it ringing inside, he probably left it here. But as the moment I open the door, I saw him standing outside before flashing a genial smile, he had always been this pure and genuine. "Why won't you just come inside?" He just smiled before looking to his right, which made me automatically look in the same

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I decided to book my flight going to the U.S. after finding out that her grandfather had passed away without her knowledge. I could not contact her. I did not know if she just blocked me or what, but it was devastating that she broke up with me, not even telling me the real reason. I wanted to give her time and understand her situation, thinking that she might need it to finally accept what happened. I went there during Christmas and left a flower for her grandfather's tomb. I used to watch her from afar and see her smiling along with her mom and grandma, that was exactly the smile I was longing to see for a long time. — "There she is." Zette waving her both hands. I got so nervous about seeing her half run in our direction. I began to notice a lot of things that have been changed from the last time I saw h

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW It was a Sunday morning after I went to church with Mom and Grandma, I usually put my phone in silent mode. But the moment I opened it, I saw a lot of missed calls from Zette. So I tried to call her back. "Is there anything wrong? Sorry for missing your calls, I was attending a mass when you called me. She chuckled a bit like she always did. This made me remember how she used to giggle whenever she was about to say and announce something special. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I just really want you to know about it first. You already knew that Samuel and I had been engaged after I graduated, right? The original plan would be next year, remember? But it had been moved so suddenly, because hie grandmother wanted to attend our wedding before going back abroad, and you should be there.

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW Christmas Eve, when I and Kolten had a great fight over the phone. He did not want things to end up by that. He did not even ask me about the photos I was talking about, it only meant that he already knew about it. Mom asked me about him, but I used to change the topic and told her that our situation was really complicated. My brother and I slept in our Grandfather's room that night, since he wanted us to stay with him. We already knew that he was too tired and just wanted to spend his time with us. Ashton and I were holding both hands until he fell asleep. It was past 12:00 in the midnight when Grandpa woke up and greeted us a Merry Christmas, and I was so glad that we spent our Christmas here with them. "He was probably just waiting for you." My big brother wiped away my tears and pulled me closer to him. I never thought that it would be his last Christmas with us. After I broke up with Kolten tha

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Bro, it is good to see you. I was actually planning to fetch you later if you did not shoe up in my party." Toby ran and show his arm on my shoulder as he saw my on his birthday party. He, together with his team members, had been one of my great rival in basketball, the one whom Orion and I met in the street during our vacation in my grandparents' place when we were still in the grade school. Orion saw him in the campus one Thursday morning, and that was when we found out that he had transferred to our university as his had been decided to look for his grandparents at their not that far from the campus. "It's been a while, bro. Why won't you join in the varsity of your department this intramural?" He handed me a bottle of alcohol he just got in the bucket full of ice. "I just got in, bro. I just went back home during the intramural, reason why I did not make it to play. Orion c

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "I ever thought that I will be able to taste a breakfast prepared by our princess." I seated myself right next to my grandpa after preparing a bowl of fried rice and a sunny-side-up taught by Kolten's grandma. Grandpa manage to give me a genial smile which I longed for. I hugged him tightly while wiping my tears that I keep from falling. "Grandpa, I began to like cooking and baking. Kolten's grandmother taught me new recipes every time we visited them in their province." I handed him a glass of water while he was still looked so amazed thinking that I could not be able to learn how to cook. I easily noticed how he lose weight from the moment I last saw him. My brother called me and probably wanted to see grandpa. "Grandpa, someone wanna se

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW His smile was really precious. I was longing to hear his jokes and his laughter. I missed his masculine scent that never fades, even if he had been so sweaty after playing with me. I could not help by to cry after hearing his voice last night. He might be suffering a big time. I could hear how he tried not to break his voice while talking with me. Mom told me that he could not sleep at night without the help of some medicines to ease the pain. I could not imagine hearing how he utter in pain. I put down my picture with my grandpa that had been framed for almost a decade. He was carrying me that moment. It was so odd, but I hadn't slept the entire night, I didn't know, but my brain just couldn't turn off, and there were way too many things on my mind. I already made my mind to visit my grandparents abroad since my semestral break goes fro

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW After our final examination, everyone was excited after hearing the official announcement from our department's dean about the rumor of having a week's vacation. What excites them the most was the idea that Mr. O'Connor was the one to shoulder all the expenses that will be incurred. "How I wished I could join you, guys." Lia and Zette looked so sloppy the moment they have heard about the announcement. Orion was laughing while teasing them. I saw how Astrid threw him her indignant stare As if trying to stop him from teasing the two. "You should enjoy that one week. Besides, you really deserve it, guys." I just patted Zette's head as I forced myself not to laugh after seeing how Orion walked out while laughing so hard while she was grimacin

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW We used to visit my grandparents whenever we were not busy during weekends. I told them about our relationship, Grandpa gave me some pieces of advice, he told me that those were the same advice he gave to Dad before. Grandma talked with Astrid in the kitchen while seemed like teaching her how to bake. I even heard them laughing about something. The moment we heard something burdening was the same time when we heard Grandma scolding her. Grandpa and I just let out a deep sigh for the nth time as hearing them, that actually happened every time we went there, but I guess, Astrid used to her attitude as she even bought and brought her own apron whenever we visited them. I took a bath early this since our couch strictly told that we should have been there as early as seven o'clock in the morn
