"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

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I found myself step slowing down as I could barely see my own reflection in the transparent glass door as I was making my way out of the bookstore. I just walked the distance from the store to the campus then, I went to a place where there were only a few people. After finding an empty bench near the outdoor fountain placed near my department building, I took a seat and opened the book on pages one-hundred-one and one-hundred-two, where I left a bookmark earlier before I took a quick shower. I looked at my wristwatch and found out that I still have 20 minutes before my class starts. So I decided to catch some z's in the classroom. "Miss Astrid Talitha Abram, answer the problems on page one-hundred-forty-seven on the board." Some

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I was awakened as I heard the buzzing sound like a train of the alarm clock on my table, right beside my bed. I tapped its snooze button on the top after a few moments. Since, I forgot to set it last night, later than yesterday, so I have decided to go to school early this morning but end up being late after going back to sleep when I should be taking a bath. My phone abruptly rang as I made my way to our department building. I rummaged in my shoulder bag in order to find my phone. Then, I suddenly bumped into someone whom I failed to notice because of being preoccupied with my phone which was still ringing. "Oh, I'm really sorry." His coffee has been poured onto the jersey he

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Hey, Astrid! It's been a while." Her big brother pulled and placed her at his back as Dax greeted her when he walked toward our direction. He was the captain ball of the team of our opponent. He used to be an old friend of Astrid's brother, but things changed as he wanted to get the position of him being the captain ball when they were both still at Haven Eastwood University. "Let's just play," I said and forcedly threw him the ball. He used to like Astrid and that thought, irritated me so much. "Keep this for me." I handed her my silver necklace. She just smiled and lightly nodded her head before accepting it from me. We were leading until the first half ended. "Do you like her? Don't you?" He asked while chuckling as I was driving the ball. I just gave him an indignant stare as a response. "Let me have her if we win!" I smirked before hardly throwing the ball on his fac

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I was walking into a long hallway going to the third floor just to attend our last class for this day, there were just a few students here, probably most of the class had ended by this time. As I looked around, I noticed the newly painted white walls that somehow made it looks wider than it was. I even saw some students who were standing near the trimmed pinboards that were placed on the left side of this hallway. "Let's have a group study after class!" Luke suggested while standing in front of the class. He always liked the idea of doing a lot of activities together with the whole class which I found so boring. He stopped for a moment at took a glance at me as I entered into a squarish room that was well-maintained. I put down my black backpack in the backseat, right next to Astrid's. "Count me in!" I hardly nudged Orion to stop him as he shouted behind me. I did not know how this guy managed to

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW Orion accompanied me home after we went to the café. I turned on the radio in his car but immediately moved it to another station as I heard a new rock song I always heard on the campus this past few days. It was not that I did not like the song, maybe I was just not really fond of that genre. "What are we going to talk about? Is there something bothering you?" I asked him seriously as I saw how his expression changed. "I have something to tell you." I got so nervous as I heard his serious tone of voice. "Is it about our assignment? I won't mind doing yours." He just shook his head and laughed a bit as I gave him a quick smile. "It's not abo

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I rolled my eyes as I heard someone shouting and closed my door even before Orion got up here. I hastily entered into my bathroom which was actually designed by my Mom, from its fixtures, tile choices, and its exquisite finishing touches. She told me that the minimalist design of it was suiting for me. It was really different from all the bathrooms in our house, since theirs were so luxurious inspired. I saw a pile of white towels that were well-folded. It was probably made by my Mom. I saw the shining shower handles and handsets as I stepped into a sleek glass shower cubicle. Its walk-thru shower was custom-designed to have two sets of shower heads, body jets as well as sprays. I remember how happy Orion was after knowing that it was because Mom was thinking about him as she was plotting a desi

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW Like every other day, I was sitting in front of a medium-sized mirror in my room where I used to do my daily make-up routine. I saw just felt the vibration of my phone that seemed on a silent mode by this time, it signified that I received a call. I just found out that I already had 11 missed calls from my mom. It was my mom again. "Hello, Mom." I loud speak it as I was looking for my favorite shade of eyeshadow. "Happy birthday, Astrid! I'm sorry. Did I wake you up? I'm just excited to greet you." I really missed her voice, and I was hoping that she will be with me on my next birthday. "It's okay, Mom. I already took bath. Sorry for missing your ca

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Before I forgot, what's the punishment?" Orion nudged me after she asked while we were making our way outside the transparent glass door of the restaurant. "I'll go ahead. Astrid, I already put my gift in your room." He placed a kiss on her forehead. "Bro, I'll sleep at your house." He tapped my shoulder before turning his back. "Thanks a lot, Orion. Take care." She waved at him. "Drive carefully, bro. There is nothing, buy something first." He cracked a grin before he nodded. I watched him walk back to his car and get in. He beeped before he drove away.

The Perfect Thief Chapter 39
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.

The Perfect Thief Chapter 37
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
The Perfect Thief Chapter 34
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
The Perfect Thief Chapter 33
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
The Perfect Thief Chapter 32
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
