Aunt Mirae and I just finished talking about the plan for Aziel's birthday. After she left, I heard the sound of a thunder—
A sign that it will probably rain.
I did not agree with her to drive me home. I told her that I still need to go to minimart to have a grocery. She told me that she really wants to cancel her appointments right now so she can be with me the whole day only if it's not something important.
I understand her.
Besides, I do really appreciate her effort to make time for her son's upcoming birthday despite her busy schedule.
After I finished grocery shopping, I immediately hired a taxi to get back to the apartment if it hadn't been for the heavy rain. I waited for al

Interconnected"I'm glad you listened to the song earlier," Vaughn said who was now down the stage and sitting in front of me now. My lips are still a bit parted because I can't hide the amazement I felt right now.Who wouldn't?His voice is very spellbinding. I can't deny the fact that until the last verse of the song, my attention was all on him. I don't want to cut the stares between us simply because I don't want to miss the feeling of watching him sing those beautiful melodies.I do not know why. Even myself, I am also unable to understand."That song earlier, what's the title?" I asked after sipping the pomegranate juice we ordered earlier.

Secretive"Relle, don’t get mad at Aziel even if he's very short-tempered," Lissy comforted me as I huddled here in the back of my cousin's car. If I only knew that this was going to happen, I would have just gone with mommy earlier."Didn't Aziel mention anything to you, Lis? I don't see any other reasons why he's so mad at Alton," I replied. I hate why everyone has to go this far. I want to know why my cousin didn't want him in the first place."I think he's mad at Alton because of you, Relle. You're crying back then because of him right?” she explained, which made my face look even worse.Whatever happens between me and Alton, he's out of it.

After taking the train to the City Hall Station that brought us here in Manhattan's Civic Center, the New York City Flag hoisted high caught my attention. While the male tourist guide is accompanying us all the way to Brooklyn Bridge, Indra called me."Amorelle, take a picture of me here!" she excitedly beamed while giving me her light blue polaroid.She made a different pose, smiling from ear to ear and flexing her long down puffer coat, fringe scarf, skinny jeans and suede booties. She couldn’t contain her happiness as if that’s what she really felt."It’s beautiful," she was fascinated by the view we’re seeing upon walking here at the Washington Street.I was also in awe when we arrived and started walking here in Brooklyn Bridge. The views around this bridge that connects two great New York City boroughs, Manhattan and Brooklyn are very phenomenal. The whole place is in between different beautiful architectures.“I

TwistedI always had fear of death ever since I became aware of the clock birthmark engraved on my left palm. I always hate celebrating my birthday because it always serves as a reminder that I'll die young.My parents told me that among our generations, I am very different because my two clock birthmarks have the same date.Because of too much curiosity, I tried researching and reading stories and blogs that tackle different painful tragedies.The first one is a 38 year old woman who had the same case as mine who prepared a wedding the day before she met her other half. They're not yet reaching the middle of the ceremony when the church was filled with loud shouts and cries. Unfortunately, the bride suddenly died due to a heart attack.That day became her happiest and that day also ends everything about her.There was also a man suffering from kidney failure. He was able to meet his other half because she's t

BabyIt was already 1 am when I arrived home. Mom and dad couldn’t believe when they saw me."Sweetheart," my mom softly uttered before hugging me. I wasn't able to stop myself too. I ended up crying because of what happened.I thought it was the end for me. Indra and Aziel were both wrong when they keep on reminding me that the clock birthmarks on my left palm will definitely indicates my death.If that's the case, why am I still here? Why I am still alive and breathing right now?"What happened...”She wasn’t able to continue her sentences right after staring at my two palms."It's gone. W-What happened to our daughter, Gregor?" she keeps crying while asking."Sweetheart, will you tell us where did you go earlier?" I nodded at dad. I also told them to stay calm before I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.After making sure that they were alr

SurpriseI was still pissed when I arrived here in our apartment. I immediately folded my arms as I sat on the sofa. In the middle of thinking, I felt Callie's fur on my leg. I picked her up right away.She's getting heavier. It seems like just the other day, Lissy was still having trouble figuring out how to feed her.I suddenly remembered what Dr. Alvi texted me earlier. He asked me if he could have a picture of Callie.I came up with a good idea. I picked up and hugged Callie again.After that, we took a photo together then I sent it to him. Like I am expecting, he didn't reply quickly. I suddenly thought about what he was up to now."How to be you, Callie?" I asked with a sigh of irr

Jacket"Can I see your clock birthmark?" I asked, standing in front of him while his expression remained unchanged."No.""Just for five freaking seconds.""No.""Why can't you?""No."I closed my eyes in great annoyance because of his answer. Damn it! Destiny is really playing tricks on me. My dad told me that between destined couples, a man had great affection towards his other half. If Alton was really meant for me, why don't we both feel the same way? I'm so confused. We haven't met each other for so long but I really felt a strong connection everytime that I'm with him.I was about to say more word

Younger sister"C-Can I just stay here? I had a hard time walking here and you're asking me to come back?" I said in great annoyance when he touched my wrist again.I will not follow what he said. Maybe he just said those words to convince me to go home."You're so stubborn," he madly asserted. I tried to take my wrist from him again and it was good that he let me go."Do you want me to go home so you can flirt with any girls you want? Do you think I'm jealous?" I folded my arms as my eyes went straight to him."What are you saying?" his voice calmed down."Mind your own business! I'll just go back there,

PatienceYesterday, Dr. Alvi returned Callie to me. I also told him that we need to talk because I wasn't able to understand what he told me during the phone call. Maybe it was just a kind of misunderstanding."Just forget about me," he clarified.I couldn't speak anymore and just let him go. That night, I was really thinking what the hell happened before I passed out. I don't think he would have treated me like this if nothing had happened.I admit that the excitement inside me every time that I go home has faded. I feel like something is missing in our apartment because he was not there. I can't help but to cry because of what he did to me. I relied on him even though he often chang

InconsistentI wandered my eyes around the moment I became conscious. The first thing that I saw was the unfamiliar white ceiling. There is typical furniture like a bedside table, chair and a small painting hanging in the cream wall. There is also a window facing to the hall and one facing outside. It was late for me to realize that I'm here in the hospital."Nurse, call the doctor! My daughter is awake," I heard mom's voice as she came in my direction. Her pair of worried eyes was really visible.Out of too much curiosity, I asked."What's going on?"I tried to force myself to remember what happened.

DrownedI can't freakin' believe that he's asking me for a date. Last night, he just texted me. I didn't bother myself to reply because I'm still annoyed and at the same time, surprised. I also couldn't sleep well so I woke up at ten in the morning. When I came out of the room, I saw him in the kitchen feeding Callie."Good morning," he greeted me but I didn't reciprocate it.Instead of talking to him, I went to the table to eat my breakfast. There was a pancake and oatmeal there."About last night, I just want to apologize," he said, reminding me of everything that happened.I was then hit by a lot of realizations regarding what kind of world

DisappointedThe two of us just kept quiet while watching tv.I didn't bother to speak or talk to him because I'm still annoyed. He told me a while ago that he's jealous about me and Vaughn, but he still had the courage to eat with Vanessa.It's just annoying because from time to time, I can't help but to think about it."Who are you texting?" he asked as he sat beside me."Vaughn. He's inviting me for lunch tomorrow," I lied to make him even angrier.The truth is, I'm looking for food that can be delivered because I'm too lazy to cook.

He told me that he's a transfer student who also chose to study in Aestwood.He also just arrived from Australia. I didn't believe it easily. He looks very familiar to me."No, it's my first time here in your country," he asserted.When we got here at the mall, hestarted looking at new cellphone models. The sales ladies here are constantly glancing at him.Vaughn is a bit taller than me. He has tou

FamiliarIt was already 6 pm when Aziel drove me to the apartment. He always texted me where the woman he almost collided with earlier but I had no idea. After using the washroom earlier, I never saw her again. My cousin and I are both confused, especially me.That woman is really weird. I don't know if everything she said had sense or she was just playing with me. Anyway, I decided to look for the book that mommy gave me.It's been half an hour since I started searching but until now I still can't find it. I'm so sure that I keep that in my room. I don’t know why it suddenly disappeared.I decided to go to the living room just in case I could find that book. I caugh
