The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 12: Painful Past
Umalis na ang lahat ng mga bisita namin ni Zari, and I feel so blessed. The house was quiet now, the echoes of laughter and chatter still lingering in the air. As I stood outside the house, taking in the moment, I couldn't help but feel incredibly blessed. Blessed to have friends and family who cared, blessed to have Zari by my side, and blessed to be able to celebrate life's special moments surrounded by love.Dahan dahan akong bumalik sa loob ng bahay and there I saw Zari standing near the kitchen with her usual expression. I looked around, and I turned to Zari, her face glowing with happiness. She nodded, her eyes reflecting the same sentiment. "You planned this?" I asked Zari, my eyes wide with surprise.She gave me a mischievous grin, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Maybe," she replied, her voice full of laughter.I shook my head, unable to suppress my own smile. It was just like her to go out of her way to bring a little joy into my life."Thank you, Zari," sabi ko sabay yak
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 13: Confused
I unrolled my yoga mat and ready to begin my morning routine, the quiet of the early morning providing the perfect backdrop.It's already 6:30 am, I still have 1 hour left to do my usual things. Maaga talaga akong gumising dahil plano kong mag yoga muna bago simulan ang mga paperworks na kailangan kong ipasa ngayon. Since, may area naman for any kind of exercise or yoga sa workplace ko, then, less hassle na for me.The place was perfect for finding inner peace and tranquility. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the soft morning light filtering through the windows, created an environment that was conducive for meditation and reflection. Maganda din ang pagka-disenyo ng building na ito. Hindi mo talaga maikakaila na puro arkitekto ang halos miyembro ng pamilyang may-ari ng kompanyang ito.The architecture was a perfect blend of modern and traditional elements, creating a visually appealing structure that was also functional. The use of large windows allowed for plenty of natural ligh
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 14: Punishment
The office was buzzing with the sounds of papers, typing on computers and loud conversations. They are all looking busy, as if the company won't pay them if they don't do heavy work. Ang ilan panay ang tingin sa mga papers na nakahilera sa kanilang mesa. I called Jeanne after kong mailagay lahat ng mga gamit ko sa aking cubicle. She was wearing a simple shirt and jeans while sobrang salungat naman sa suot ko.“Jeanne, bakit sobrang busy ng mga tao dito sa office?" Tanong ko habang tinitingnan ang mga kasamahan kong abala sa kani-kanilang mga ginagawa."Ah, malapit na kasi ang deadline ng mga projects natin. Kaya lahat sila, kasama na rin tayo, kailangang mag-double time para matapos ang lahat ng trabaho," sagot ni Jeanne, na hindi man lang ako ginawaran ng tingin.Bumalik ako sa aking cubicle at nagsimulang mag halungkat sa mga kailangan kong tapusin. Pero may napansin ako, since then everytime papasok ako sa opisina kahit busy sila, magawa pa nila akong batiin. Ngayon, bakit feeling
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 15: Locked by His Arms
Bigla akong naalimpungatan sa kaluskos galing sa loob ng aming opisina. I quickly searched where those noises came from, when I saw Liam wearing his usual poker face, while…holding a food?I blinked in surprise, my sleep-addled brain trying to make sense of the situation. "Sir Liam?" I asked, my voice filled with confusion. "Haven't you gone home yet?"Liam turned to look at me, a sheepish smile on his face. "I... I lost track of time," he said, his gaze shifting to the food in his hands. "I thought you might be hungry, so I brought some food.”Hinanap ko ang aking phone and shit, it's 9:00 pm already. "I'm sorry if nagising kita.” Sabi ni Liam sa mahinang tinig. I don't have enough time sa mga kadramahan niya, and why is he acting like that? Nakakapagtaka."Tapos ko ng lahat gawin ‘to,” sabi ko habang tinitingnan ang mga pagkain na hawak niya, grabe nakakagutom. Ang bango!He did not respond to what I've said but rather he arranged the food and put a spoon and fork to some plates.
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 16: Application
I felt like I hadn't slept at all last night. My body felt heavy, my mind foggy. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the fatigue. But it clung to me, a persistent shadow that refused to let go.After Liam dropped me off last night, nakita ko si Zari na mag isa with a drink in her hand. The soft glow from the lights inside the house cast a warm glow on her, making her seem almost ethereal.We chit chatted a bit, since hindi na kami laging magkausap due to our different hectic sched. So ayun, medyo tipsy ako ngayon sa trabaho."I can't believe everything that happened," sabi niya at paulit ulit pa akong tinanong dahil baka raw nagsisinungaling lang ako at nag ilusyon. Ang bruha ginawa pa akong sinungaling. "Sis, it all seems so surreal." I just nodded to her and took a one shot.She shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips. "Well, sis," she said, her voice filled with something. "You certainly know how to keep life interesting.”Napasubo ako ng chicharon sa sinabi niya, “ika
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 1: Tangled
"Akala ko ba hindi ka dadalo?" bungad ng aking kaibigan na si Zari.Honestly, I don't really have a plan to attend. But still, she's my best friend. Ayokong magtampo siya just because of my lame excuses. Well, it's her 24th birthday today, and same as before, nandito kami ngayon sa isa sa pinakasikat na bar sa Pilipinas.Ayoko talaga sa mga ganitong lugar, I easily felt dizzy, perhaps because nasusuka ako sa amoy ng sigarilyo and I'm not used to drinking alcoholic drinks.The dress I was wearing tonight was a classic navy blue, hugging my figure in all the right places. It was tailored perfectly, accentuating my waist and falling just below my knees. I paired the dress with nude heels that elongated my legs and added an extra touch of sophistication. A delicate silver necklace graced my collarbone, and I chose small pearl earrings for a timeless look.My hair was styled in loose waves, cascading over my shoulders, and my makeup was natural, highlighting my features rather than overpow
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 2: Rage
Maaga akong nagising at nag timpla ng kape. Habang hinihintay na kumulo ang tubig, tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana. Ang mga ibon ay nag-iingay na, tila ba nag-uunahan bumati sa bagong umaga. Ang araw ay unti-unti nang sumisikat, nagbibigay ng kaunting liwanag sa madilim na langit.Nang magsimula na ang tubig kong kumulo, inalis ko ito sa apoy. Hinugasan ko ang aking tasa at sinimulan kong magtimpla. Ang bango ng kape ay agad na kumalat sa buong bahay, nagbibigay ng kaunting kaginhawaan sa aking damdamin."Hesttiaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Isang malakas na boses ang umalingawngaw sa buong bahay. Tila nabibingi ang dalawa kong tainga. Gising na si Zari at nasa kanyang katinuan na siguro.Sino ba kasing hindi napasigaw kung sa paggising nya, wala syang saplot at tanging bra at panty lang.That's what you get, b'tch."There's no need to shout, Zariyah Azrael!" I scream while not looking at her in the kitchen with her pambahay dress. She looked at me furiously. Wow! Siya pa talaga ang galit."Don't yo
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 3: Humiliated
Ngayon ang unang araw ko sa trabaho. Maaga akong natulog kagabi para gumising ng maaga.I chose a sexy top paired with a high-waisted pencil skirt. The top was a deep red, accentuating my white skin and complementing my dark hair. The skirt was black, hugging my curves just right and ending just above my knees, striking a balance between professional and stylish.I added a pair of black pumps for height and a touch of confidence. I chose simple jewelry—a pair of gold hoop earrings and a delicate gold necklace. I wanted my outfit to make a statement, but I also wanted to be taken seriously.This was my first day of work and a new chapter in my life.I grabbed my bag, checked my reflection one last time, and headed out the door. I was ready to take on whatever the day had in store for me.Pagdating ko sa opisina, binati ako ng mga ngiti at mga kamay na handang makipagkamay. Nakakatuwa na maramdaman ang init ng pagtanggap nila.Tinuro ng isang babae ang aking mesa, kung hindi ako nagkaka

The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 11: Birthday
I'm already at the house, parking my car, feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Stepping out of the car, I took a moment to gather my thoughts. With a deep breath, I headed towards the house, hearing laughter ringing out. It was a sound that was both familiar and jarring, considering I knew it was only Zari and me in the house."Zari?" I called out, stepping into the foyer. The laughter stopped, replaced by a curious silence. I felt a chill run down my spine, but I pushed away the unease. We were here for a reason, and I couldn't let anything distract me from that."Zari, it's me," I said, moving further into the house. Despite the unsettling laughter, I was determined to face whatever lay ahead. Kinatok ko nang kinatok ang pinto, ng biglang bumukas ito dahilan kung ba't muntik akong madapa sa sahig. “Bakit ngayon ka lang umuwi?" Bungad sa akin ni Zari habang nilakihan ng bukas ang pinto. I didn't answer her, but instead I continued my search where those laughter came from
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 10: Case
I'm already here at our meeting place," I texted him, glancing around. It was a quaint little café, its warm, inviting ambiance a stark contrast to the cold, corporate atmosphere I had left behind at the office. As I waited, I ordered a cup of coffee, allowing the familiar aroma to soothe my nerves. The events of the day still lingered in my mind, but I pushed them aside, focusing on the meeting ahead.A few moments later, I spotted a familiar face approaching.Wait, anong ginagawa niya dito?“He's like searching for someone," I observed, noting the way his eyes darted around the café. His expression was tense, his movements restless. It was clear that he was expecting someone else to join us."Are you waiting for someone else?" I asked, when he was already inside the cafe, curiosity piqued. He looked at me, a hint of surprise flashing across his face before he quickly composed himself."Yes, actually," he admitted, running a hand through his hair. "I was hoping she would be here by n
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 9: Confrontation
I can almost hear crickets. The silence in the room became almost palpable. The tension was thick, the only sounds being the soft hum of the air conditioner and the occasional rustle of papers.“Stop being flirty to my employees.” Nagulat ako sa biglaan niyang pag basag sa katahimikan na namumuo, pero mas nagulat ako sa kanyang binitawang mga salita.What he just said? I'm flirting with his employees?“Wait… s-sir… tama ba ang pagkakarinig ko? I'm being flirty with my workmates?” Pinilit kong maging kalmado sa harap niya. Even though, my knees suddenly felt a sudden weak because of her wrong accusation. “Yes, Ms. Forbes.They can't focus doing their work if patuloy ka sa mga pinaggagawa mo.”Diretso niyang sabi na halos ikapunit ng labi ko. His words hit me like a punch in the gut. I hadn't realized that my interactions with Jeffrey had been causing a disturbance. I was simply trying to get my work done, and Jeffrey had been kind enough to help. “Hindi ko alam, pagiging flirty na pala
The Wild Side of Despair Chapter 8: Jealous
“Let's meet @6:00 pm, at the restaurant nearby BGC.” I texted the son of my parents' secretary. After ko dito sa trabaho plano kong makausap siya ng masinsinan.Actually, nung nakausap ko siya nakaraang araw, parang pamilyar yung boses niya. The memory of an unknown conversation playing in my mind. There was something about his voice that seemed familiar, a certain warmth and cadence that reminded me of someone I knew. But who?I checked all the documents, arranged all the papers. From contracts to blueprints, dapat kasi each document was carefully reviewed and organized. This was one of the crucial parts of my job as an architect, ensuring that every detail was in order and that nothing was overlooked.I maneuvered my laptop, searching for the files that were needed for tomorrow's proposal, but suddenly my laptop hang.Shit. Ngayon pa talaga nagloloko ang laptop ko? A wave of panic washed over me. The screen froze and no matter how much I clicked or pressed keys, nothing responded.
