Chapter 20: Taste "Won't you speak?" I kept staring into the distance as if I couldn’t hear him. We are currently riding his bicycle and on our way to their house. As usual, I still haven't spoken to him since I split up with Fern and went home with him. I also don’t know why he was at the gate and waiting for me. I can't get an excuse from him because I also don't want to ask and even say a single word. How did he know we would be sent home? Anyway, that's just common sense because our uniform is stained. But how did he find out right away and even get to say goodbye to his teacher and left the university as easy as hello? I have a lot of questions but I don't want to talk. Why didn't he just go there with his girlfriend and comfort her. I’m sure that nothing else comes out from her mouth but pure lies. She didn't even say anything that’s right. She was really the one who did his own harm. I did not do anything. I'm not to blame for what happened. My conscience is clear and I shoul
Chapter 21: Ice Cream "Are you okay there, K? Your Dad and I will be going home at 23." I gulped and looked out the window. I looked at them again over the laptop and I could see the excitement in their eyes. "I'm okay here. They're really nice to me and I often excel in school. I still pass the quizzes and exams. You don't have to worry." I said calmly. "Why are you at home? It's Monday today, right? You’re not going to school?" Dad asked, making me nervous. I just laughed to relieve my nervousness. "I'm not going in today because there's an event at the university. They said that it’s okay if we can't go in. It's a waste of uniform if I still go." "What event? Isn't the Christmas Party the only event you're looking forward to this month?" Mom asked. I was scratching my head. "Publication of the magazine. We are no longer required to go to the campus. The admin is still arranging all the publication materials. It doesn't matter, tomorrow, the university will be open again for
Chapter 22: Heart attack "How long do you plan not to go to class? Are you accompanying me on my suspension? Your family doesn't know about this because I don't say it." "That’s why it’s better if you don’t tell them, right? It's better that they don't know this. You don't want this, it's like I've been suspended too?" I frowned as I looked at him. This is the third day of my suspension and Patry will actually pretend to be wearing a uniform and leave and then come back here to the house. Sera, Mommy G and uncle don't know about it because no one says. I didn't want to tell them because I knew they would scold Patry. Patry will be angry with me again for sure. I hissed at his logic. "You can't be absent for up to seven days. You may be dropped from the university in no time. You still don't have a reason why you were absent all of a sudden." "Okay then, tomorrow, I'll come in. Is that a problem?" he said as if nothing had happened. I just rolled my eyes secretly. I don't really
Chapter 23: Vote "What's the real score between you and Patry? Don't you dare to run away from me. I won't be silenced until I know what your relationship really is." I sighed. Tomorrow will be my last suspension day, then I can go to university. Monday to Friday was only a 5-day count last week. Weekends are not included so I still haven't entered today, which is Monday. When we were suspended, it was exactly Friday so the suspension started on Monday. I just want everything to fast forward. For sure, when we came back, we had to finish all the quizzes to make up for all that we’ve not taken. Our subject instructors accepted because the principal has already told them that we are not really at fault. This is Mommy G that’s beside me, I did nothing but run away from her questions these past few days. She can’t get answers from Patry either. After what happened, Patry entered in the following days because Mommy G and uncle also found out about him, not going to class for days. As exp
Chapter 24: Siblings Based on what Fern called this boy Fiat, I think this is his brother, then we immediately ran to their house. I just follow them wherever they go. Every road is crowded and the houses are really close together so it's noisy. Various odors also spread such as the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, dishes or spoiled cooking utensils, as well as detergents everywhere. We stopped running until we came to a door. Fern immediately opened the door that I think was their house when… "Surprise! Happy birthday, brother!" We were stunned and I looked at Fiat as well as, I think this is Fluke. His siblings are a girl and a boy. "Fiat said you fainted---" Fern said when her sister Fluke approached him. "It's a prank, brother! We just want to surprise you on your birthday!" she says happily. I was surprised at what she said. So, it's really Fern's birthday today? I do not know! I didn't greet him earlier! "It's a good thing you left, brother. It's like we can prepare a surpri
Chapter 25: Good night I looked at the time on my phone. Shocks. It's already 8 o'clock in the evening! I didn’t realize the time because of my interest in teaching Fluke and Fiat. I stood up and looked at Fern. "Fern, I need to go home." The two turned to me. "Oh, are you coming home now sister?" Fluke asked and I just nodded. Fern flinched. "I didn't even realize the time!" I just laughed. "Maybe Mommy G is worried about me. I should have gone home before dark. I didn't keep the promise. I enjoyed teaching your siblings ..." "Sister, are you going to come back here next time?" Fiat asked. I smiled. "Of course. I can't help it for sure. I will miss your jokes." I said and ruffled their hair. "Hey, I'll take you first. I can't help it because I told your Mommy G that I'll take you home. I don't want you to get hurt again and it's easy for the tricycle drivers in this street to have their tricks on you. There are a lot of crazy people here with us." said Fern and turned to her
Chapter 26: Snatcher ‘Let’s meet at the mall. In front of the bookstore. We just finished our class today. It's a little early so we're just waiting for the permission for us to go home and leave the university.’ I smiled when I received Sera's text message. I immediately typed. 'All right, I'm leaving. Take care.' I got up and immediately dressed in the CR. I went downstairs and told Mommy G that I would meet Sera at the mall. She hugged me and bid goodbye. She wanted me to take some cookies before leaving but I just ate one while walking to the gate of the subdivision. I immediately called a jeep to ride to the mall. Actually, earlier, I chatted with Fern and he invited me to their house again. His siblings said they missed me and wanted me to teach them on their assignments again. Gosh, they're really smart already so I don't have to teach them anymore. I can't even remember their other topics because my brain is really rusting. Fortunately, Fern is helping. I declined Fern’s
Chapter 27: Sweet "It's weird to know that your Patry punched a man in the mall." I kicked him. "Hey, tone down your voice there. Maybe someone who knows him will hear you here and let the gossip spread out… making Patry be famous. You know that the speed of gossip is like a flying newspaper now.” I said and he just scratched his head. "Why did he go to the mall?" he asked. I shrugged. "He told us that his laptop’s mouse was broken.” "Did he buy one?" I shook my head. "No, because he seems to have seen us." "So, he followed?" I nodded. "Is that even for real? Like a real reason? He really is a stalker. I don't really believe in his tactics anymore." I thought about it. "Is it reasonable?" "Maybe he likes you so he followed you?" I frowned. "Impossible. I don't like that topic anymore; I'm really tired of his tripping." I said and laid on my seat. I looked at my watch. It's only 5 minutes and we need to go to the faculty to take a special quiz on Entrepreneurship. It was re
PATRICIA “Patricia.” Patricia looked at her brother. "Hmmm?" "I’ve been calling you to come downstairs. You have a visitor." She stood up and released the book she was holding. "Who is it?" "Just come down and look. Stop asking." Kit rolled his eyes and left his younger sister. Patricia, on the other hand, was still smiling until she came downstairs to see who her visitor was. She opened the gate and smilingly looked at her alleged visitor. But that smile of hers suddenly disappeared when she saw that visitor. "It's been a while." Patricia was about to close the gate again when the man in front of her blocked his body to stop her. "I want my fiancé back. Please come back to me." Patricia's face immediately shifted when he said that and faked a smile. "You missed your chance, so now I want you to stay out of my life." ** KIT “Your sister looks adorable.” Kit looked at his friend, Yang. "Don't you know that every time you tell me that, I get disgusted?" "Bro, court Kit’s
"Mom, wake up." When I heard that little voice, I immediately rolled over and woke up. "Why baby? What's the matter?" I asked him tenderly but I was surprised when he rolled his eyes. "Mom, your hair looks like grass. Fix your face as well." That's all he said and left me. I just forced a smile because of what I heard from him. That kid really resembled Patry. I'm just really holding back from being annoyed every time. And I just heap my annoyance on Patry every time that kid treats me like that. His name is Kit Bautista, our 10 years old baby boy. He is still our baby even though he speaks like that. For heaven's sake! He's just a grade 4, an elementary student. Yet when he speaks, he sounded like Patry when he was so snobbish before. It's really his fault. I just fixed myself and went down. My husband and our second daughter appeared before my eyes. "Mom, you look so pretty." She approached me and even kissed my cheek. Sweet! Her name is Patricia Bautista. Our second born, 7

He is the culprit why Kira's parents died suddenly. It was a plane crash, a suicidal thing. I think he paid the pilot of that plane. Is he that desperate to get rid of Kira? I gritted my teeth in disgust. "You're already in jail but you still don't regret what you did. You have a daughter but that's what you did to Kira. What if all that happens to Olivia?” I faked a laugh. “Maybe you also intentionally killed your wife before, Olivia's Mom. Isn't it? " He immediately stood up and punched the glass that was blocking between us. "I LOVE MY EX-WIFE! I LOVE MY DAUGHTER! I DID EVERYTHING FOR THEM! OLIVIA JUST FORCED TO MAKE IMPRISONED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU!" I stood up as well and brought my face close to his even though there was a glass blocking us. "I didn’t fo
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV Olivia De Guzman. I just looked at her and averted my eyes. I heard of her, she's the daughter of a famous senator. There were so many rumors about her and the news was fast. That senator donated half a million to the university for the construction of another building. In simple words, he's a big fish. So all the teachers as well as the director were kind to Olivia. But what amazed me was that she has been clinging to me a lot since she transferred. Annoying. With the dynamic number of students here, why me? "I transferred here because of you. I mentioned you to Dad and you know he's so powerful, don't you? When he finds out that you don't pay attention to me, he will do bad things just to bury you alive." That girl was insane. She insisted on talking to me no matter what I did to push her
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV Weeks passed until I managed not to contain my anger, not only to the men surrounding her. But it looks like my friends will be my rivals as well. We were walking at the mall and accidentally, we met Kira at the Game House. I didn't know about them going to the mall together. My friends invited me, and it distracted my direction from her. Another point is that they seemed to be drawn to her. "Let's go somewhere." I walked ahead and walked away from Kira. I’ll be back, love. "Your sister's friend looked so cute." I heard Nucleus say so I clenched my fist. I heard Third laugh. "There are a lot of good ones in the Grade 11 batch. To be honest, there are more girls here in Arkinstein than in San Fuego High." "But Patry's sister's friend is way more cute." I stopped walking when I heard what
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV My pride is killing me slowly. "No. Don't you ever come here again." I sternly said and rushed back to my room. After I closed the door, I placed my hand on my chest .... it’s clenching and seems like I’m going to puke. I've been pushing her away out of our house. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this. I knew that all along but I still kept on saying bad words to her. I’m forcing her to leave and I’m making her feel that she does not belong to our family. I grabbed my camera and tried to take some pictures of her while going home. All of the pictures of her that I took were her looking so sad… because of me. I've been taking pictures of her since she was in Junior Highschool, I forgot to mention. It was worth it because I always see her face. Now that she’s now always going to our h
WARNING before reading the 'Untold Chapters', you have to read from the start (if you haven't yet) to understand the flow of the story and why it has these additional chapters. ** Patry's POV “MOM! HE PUSHED ME! HUHUHU!” I flashed a disgusted face as I saw the kid’s crying drama. I was only five and it’s my first time to try playing with the other kids in grandma and grandpa’s hacienda. I really thought that the kids here are so kind, welcoming, and playful. But then, this male kid who approached me tried to snatched my transformer figure. It was so expensive and I’m scared that it might get broken. Instead of pulling the figure with him, I pushed him instead. Is that bad? “Hijo, what happened? You pushed your playmate so hard that it caused him to have a bleeding knee.” Our grandma approached me but her voice was so soft. It’s like she just wanted to understand me. “I pushed him because he wanted my toy. This is only mine.” I averted my eyes and I heard her sigh. Another day
Chapter 104: Bells are ringing I was enraged for almost a month while enduring not talking to Patry. I have no intention of telling him more about the baby in my womb now. I’m thinking that I would just raise him on my own. I don't want to go and marry a man who is a cheater and can't be satisfied. I can't stand the baby's suffering in the future. He had set up a tent outside our house, waiting for me to talk to him but I didn’t bother. "Kira, Patry have been sleeping outside for almost a month. When are you going to talk to him?" I looked at Sera. "Why did you let him in through the gate? He's banned here, isn't he? My head gets even hotter when he's near." "He bought you macaroni soup downstairs and the cravings you said last night, siopao and siomai." I was stunned and immediately stood up. I heard her laugh and I knew she was teasing me. I went downstairs until I reached the dining table. My stomach immediately growled when I saw the macaroni soup. I took a spoon and immediate
Chapter 103: Break up? "I'm not sure if our wedding will continue." They looked at me as if they couldn't believe me. Here I am again with the complete squad at a restaurant. It's Nin's treat and she herself insisted on it. She said that she made a lot of money last month so she took it as an opportunity to treat us. Or maybe that's not really the reason. "What are you saying? You're just newly engaged but you're going to break up? Do you really love each other?" Jerich asked one after another and I just sighed. My head hurts again. Plus the fact that Patry hasn’t spoken to me politely until now and he’s really stubborn! I was trying to convince him to have a serious talk about our wedding plans but he didn't want us to go back to the wedding planner that Mommy G got. It's embarrassing for Emerson because he walked out that day and didn’t come back. I can’t really understand his attitude anymore! "They have opposite interests. They can't agree on one option and my brother doesn't
