ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW
I used to treat him to a cup of hot chocolate in a small vintage restaurant. My Mom introduced this restaurant to me before. He told me that when she flew back here to the Philippines, she met an old lady that happened to be an old friend of grandma during their college years. She was the wife of the owner of this classic restaurant. I loved the ambiance it gave. All the furniture and fixtures that were hanging and displayed here. It was placed in an old street. It was
actually one of the shops some may be walking past, but I was glad to know this place. There was some old and dusty cash register on the counter. It had been a long time, since the last time we went here. There were a few new designs of paintings hanging on the left corner of this restaurant. They added some tables and chai
Have a blessed day, ahead, everyone!
KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Bro, do you remember Martin who was wearing jersey number 14, the center player of the IT department we played against yesterday?" Orion asked while he was tying his dark gray basketball shoes he got by cleaning their garden last weekend. Uncle gave him two of this new edition, knowing that Orion used to give me any shoes that he got from his dad's company. "Yeah. What's about him?" I asked while checking on my inbox. I saw some messages from my Mom. She always called me every night, asking how was my day, the time I last ate, and even the last time I change my pillowcase. But I guess hearing those questions every night made me feel that they were both here with me. "He's a half-brother of Samuel." He abruptly ran his hand through his ha
KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "It is official, bro," I whispered to Orion who was wearing a pair of jerseys and seemed so tired while drying up her hair using the white towel that was hanging on his shoulder after we won in our game. I saw how he smirked before giving me a soft shoulder punch. "Finally, bro. I guess that was the reason why someone broke a leg in the court earlier." I just laughed before locking his head around my arms and hardly messed up his hair that was full of sweat while we were making our way going to the men's room. In the last 15 seconds of the last quarter of our game, when our coach called for a timeout, I told Astrid to wait for us outside since I noticed how the number of students from different departments gradually increased. "Hey, guys!
ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "I'm happy for the both of you, girl. You know what Astrid, I am not saying this as a friend of Kolten, but you both are blessed to have each other." I smiled as she giggled and hugged me. "Thank you, Zette!" She looked so excited while linking her arm around Samuel's who was standing right next to her as we were waiting for Kolten and Orion near their locker room. "I suddenly remember how we started before. Honestly, I did not expect us to last this long." I smiled as I saw Samuel quickly smile as he heard Zette. They were so cute. "I thought you've been together even before. That what he told me back then." I shifted my gaze to Samuel who was smiling, and I could see how genuine he was, chuckled in response to him. "Maybe that was why he almost threw the ball, even in the half-court." He chuckled between his husky voice while taking off his jacket to put on to Zette who was just
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
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
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
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
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
