Chapter 7: Closer
My eyes felt so heavy when I started to open it and try to adjust my sight. When my eyes managed to open, I was welcomed by the people who are so familiar. They looked so worried and I could feel the warmth their presence was giving.
“Kira, how are you feeling?” Sera asked.
I was about to speak when my throat ached. Gosh, I think my whole body hurts. I can’t manage to speak nor sit properly.
“Don’t force yourself.” A voice commanded. I saw a lady with her lab gown, probably a doctor. Oh, I just realized that I’m in a hospital. “Your body is slowly healing. By this time, you can feel the pain all over your body because you’re traumatized.”
“Traumatized? Does she need a psychologist?” Mommy G asked an
Chapter 8: Hate “Ugh! That girl gave me a lot of headaches!” Fern grumpily massaged his temple. I just chuckled at his reaction and shrugged. He mentioned to me last week since we had joined some clubs that there’s a girl-- a year older than him who talks a lot and nags him. He hated her and just wanted to switch to the club where I’m in but it’s not valid. Once you have joined a club, there’s no more switching to another. He joined the cooking club since he has experience working in the food business. I guess he’s just unlucky. “Kira, help me ask our head teacher to let me transfer to another club! I can’t stand her!” Fern took my hand and pleaded. He also flashed his blinking eyes like a puppy. I rolled my eyes. “You know I can’t.”
Chapter 9: Safe zone “Is it alright for you to stay here?” I asked Fern. He smiled. “It’s okay. Our supervisor told us to enjoy the day with the customers today because of the event. It will increase the customer’s satisfaction if we continue to communicate with them.” I just nodded and took a sip of my cheesecake milk tea. Today is the Anniversary event of BondTea Hub and as promised, I’ll go with him. I have invited Sera to join but she refused because she has to do some memorization for her subject matter. Soon enough, I’ll be busy like her because our exams are coming.
Chapter 10: Girlfriend “I can’t believe that my grades went well. I’m not really learning anything this sem.” said Sera after scanning her grades on her account on the school's website. I just smiled and dozed myself to Lit Fire which I was playing right now. I’ve been playing with BlazingEvesince the day the he apologized to me. We also began to talk a lot about the game and he even taught me some tricks to kill many opponents. “Hey, are you happy with your grades?” Sera asked and glanced at my laptop to see what I’m playing.
Chapter 11: Grandma’s story “You went to our room so late that I didn’t notice that you came back. What happened to you? Your eye bags are showing. Is that an effortless zombie face for Halloween?” We’re here at the terrace surrounded by the different beautiful flowers. They have this table and chairs made from acacia. The wind is blowing like trying to erase my numb feelings. I just shrugged on what she said and faced my laptop. Of course, I’m not having a good sleep after I heard Patry boasting about his girlfriend. It keeps on repeating inside my head. My head, heart, and my whole system stopped. I didn’t sleep because I couldn't. His words cut deeper than a knife. Did Mommy G and uncle know about his girlfriend already? Why didn’t he introduce her to them? Why am I suggesting that scenario? I’ll be a realistic zombie indeed if that day comes! “Hey, I’m asking you!” Sera exclaimed and tapped my shoulder. “It’s the typical scene where the protagonist’s heart hurts.” I just repl
Chapter 12: Fern’s Dad The next day, I woke up so late that I found Sera nowhere to be found beside me. I was clueless about where she went. I can’t remember last night that she’ll go somewhere today. She didn’t bother waking me up either. After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I planned to go to the living room and was also shocked that no one’s around. I didn’t bother to change my pajamas and get my slippers on and went to the terrace. The surroundings were clear and enveloped by fresh air. All that I could hear was the slapping of the winds into the trees making its leaves to fall, along with birds enjoying their freedom. There was a familiar smell which I can tell that someone is cooking but I don’t know where it came from. No one is around. Did they leave me? I just sighed. “Where did they go?” I whispered the wind and stretched my arms. Feels so good to flex my body after a good sleep! “Your tummy’s showing, chubby.” I immediately pulled down my arms and turned to loo
Chapter 13: Cemetery date “You’re too concerned that you and Sera even admitted me! It’s just fatigue.” Fern laughed sardonically that we can’t even react happily. “Of course we’re worried! We know how hard this day is for you knowing your Mom and your Dad…” Sera stopped and looked at me. I just smiled and gave Fern a glance. “Your Mom will also be worried and sad seeing you like this here. Are your siblings okay at your house?” He nodded. “I texted Fiat and Fluke that I’m going home to fetch them. They’re going to visit Mom and they agreed. They’ve been crying a lot ever since Mom acted suspiciously finding out she’s hurting already.. Everything that happened within this day makes me emotional. But then, that devil came…” He might be referring to his Dad. “Did he tell you what’s his purpose for coming back?” I asked. “He wants us to migrate to Singapore.” Sera almost got choked while drinking in her water bottle and I was stiffened on my seat when he likely dropped a bomb. He
Chapter 14: This is love I woke up suddenly because it was as if something heavy had landed on my face. He was a bit hairy and my face really looked like it was sitting down. Maybe it’s Sera that’s giving me a prank. I moaned. "Sera, get out of there ..." I still want to sleep. I'm still dreaming! In my dream, Patry and I are quite close to each other and I can still beat him like we’re really close friends. He is not angry with me and he does not insult me. He was so happy and even came with me on a picnic. We were just the two of us under the tree and ... K-I-S-S-I-N-G! I was forced to gain consciousness because what was on my face began to lick me. Okay, it's Pat on my face and not Patry. He even smiled at me and leaned on my arm. Very tender. This cat is so sweet! "Did you miss me too much, Pat? I'm sorry if we left you." I said and hugged the cat. She's so cute! If he was as tender as Patry I would be really happy. Case seems unlikely to happen. It can really only be seen in
Chapter 15: Another stalker "Do you think the outcome of our project will be okay?" I asked Fern who was still drowsy. He looks so bad, he didn't seem to sleep for several days. Drowsy again in class and sometimes fell asleep again. As usual, I am his savior in class again. Writer, listener, and cover for him whenever Ma'am and Sir look at the backside of our class. "It'll be okay. I'll be the one to explain. Just support me babe huh?" he said so I kicked him. "AAAW! You're really brutal!" "Stop teasing me. You're not funny. I'm heartbroken, spare me with your jokes." I said and pouted. He messed up my hair and laughed. "Yes babe." I beat him again and shook my head at him. I just smiled and looked out the window. The surroundings are hot but many are still hanging out while talking to friends and classmates. There are also students reading a book and wearing headsets as if they have worlds of their own. A few weeks have passed and this month will end again. It was as if only an
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

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
