"Sorry about what happened last night."It was too early in the morning when Evan called Simon for news."Where is he?"Pertaining to the guy who harassed her girlfriend."He's in jail now. Don't worry, I made sure that it won't be easy for him to get away from this. How's Bea?"Evan turned and gazed at Bea who was peacefully asleep in bed. His lips formed into a smile, remembering that they were now official."She's totally fine. Anyway, just update me if anything happens. I gotta go.""Sure, bro."He ended the call and sat on the bed and stared at his sleeping girlfriend. He fixed the strand of hair on her face. Asking how he got himself such a beautiful and lovely woman."You're still beautiful even when you're asleep."He opened his phone camera and took a stolen shot of her. He immediately hides his phone when Bea moves."Hmm,"She groaned as she opened her eyes. "Good morning,"and gave her a kiss on her forehead. She was shocked at first and was about to kick him for doing tha
"Who are you?"She asked as her body trembled in fear and her heart rampaged, causing her to almost faint from holding her breath for too long. The white long, silk curtain flaps in the strong whooshing of the wind. And a sharp, blinding light strikes the ground as if the deities have been really furious. Then comes next the loud thud of thunder after it, making her run under the table and curling her body like a millipede with heavy breaths and sweats dripping on her face even though the place was about ten degrees."Please, have mercy!"She silently mumbled numerous times with her eyes closed and hands clasped together tightly. She was alone in that dark, gloomy, and haunted house so she didn't know where to go, hide, or call on. She felt helpless. "HAHAHA."She curled herself more, making sure that she won't be seen by the killer, after hearing his psychotic laugh. He's getting nearer to where she is, walking slowly with the sounds of chain clanking in his hands. "Don't make me s
Bea had been rolling back and forth in her bed, with the lights off, yet still couldn't get herself to sleep. She even had done almost all sorts of positions she could think of, yet her soul was driven by her fantasies with Evan, leaving her widely awake. They had already gone home to Evan's condo after staying in his resthouse for two days and one night."Urgh."She groaned and sat with a long face. "Who the heck is Lineth?"She mumbled with frustration. She clearly told herself not to think about it too much, but her mind seemed to be always swayed by the wind. There are things we want to not think about too much, yet make us anxious all the time, uncontrollably. "Okay. Bea, breath."She closed her eyes and then inhaled deeply, redirecting her focus onto something else, setting her mind at peace from all the useless thoughts that kept on bugging her, nonstop. Bea knew to herself that jealousy is her weakness. Maybe, because she's tired of losing the people around her. She's tire
Evan immediately went to Simon in the precinct after getting the call. "What happened?"He asked upon arriving.Simon was drinking his booze peacefully, when he noticed a waitress being harassed by some guys. He wasn't supposed to care about it yet they were being too vulgar and loud, so he confronted them."Mind your own business, dude!""Sir,"The waitress went behind him, to hide in fear."Call the manager."He instructed but the waitress shook her head repeatedly, and started to weep."No. My manager would sell me to them."Her reaction indicates that this is not the first time it happened."Come on. We'll pay you big time. Name your price."The guy mocks as they laugh their ass out. Simon is not in a good mood, so when he hears the guy talking about buying a woman for pleasure, pissess him off. His hands directly land on the pervert's face, giving him a sense of reality. "Woah!"Everyone in the room surrounded them in awe, as if they were watching some sort of an entertaining m
For Bea, an arranged marriage is just like a fairy tale seen in movies; she had no idea that this practice was still prevalent today. She had been staying with Anna in her condo for days on end. She won't let her depart from her side."Why are men so stupid, Bea? I have already told Simon, clearly as crystal, to quit fantasizing about getting me back in his life. Yet, why does he still keeps on sending me flowers?"Anna grumbled while holding another bouquet from a delivery guy."Can't you still not forgive him?""Hmp, where did he get his luck?"Bea shook her head in disbelief while hearing Anna retorted proudly, yet her expressions said otherwise. It was clear to her that Anna loves Simon too, no matter how hard she tries to push the guy away. But Anna seemed to like being chased."Wait, this is for you."Anna handed her the bouquet of flowers. Bea took it with a perplexed expression."Maybe he already got tired of chasing after me, Bea. Simon no longer loves me. What should I do?"
Bea fixes her gaze on Evan's face as he slumbers peacefully in bed. She laughed as she traced her index finger from his kissable, soft lips to his sharp nose. Bea blushed as vivid images of their first intimate moment filled her head."Hmm,"With his eyes still closed, Evan grabbed her hands and embraced Bea in his arms. Bea kissed him on the cheek . In response, Evan jumped on top of her right away. They are utterly enamoured with themselves."AAAAAHHHHH!!!! MY EYES!!!"Evan's mom shouted as she immediately closed Evan's room door loudly, shocked by what she just witnessed. She walks downstairs, almost running, still unable to process if what she saw was right.Her son is now a man! All she thought was Evan is a hopeless romantic guy, yet turns out she's wrong. Mrs. Olivia gulped a glass of water and fanned herself with her hand while grinning from ear to ear. They were fortunately covered in blankets, so she didn't see much."Who's that?"Bea questioned in terror as she hid under th
Bea searched her phone with her eyes closed while lying on the bed, still half asleep. "Hey, Bea! Where are you?"The person on the other line said, as soon as she answered the call."Hmm,"She had a very good sleep, still not wanting to get up from bed. She dreamed of her and Evan marrying inside a church. A lot of people are giving them congratulatory gifts. A dream she wouldn't like to be woken up from. "Don't tell me you're still sleeping, Bea!"Bea opened her eyes widely when she finally recognized whose voice it was."Anna? Oh, geez!"She sat on the bed and slapped her forehead. How could she forget what day it is?"Be sure to be here, 30 minutes."Anna said sternly."Yes! Sure, bye!"Bea ended the call. "Good morning!"Evan kissed the side of Bea's lips while fixing his own tie. Bea lifts her head and her brows furrowed pon seeing Evan fully dressed and ready to go."Evan! Why didn't you wake me up?"She hissed. "I was about to but you're sleeping too soundly. I dare not
"Hi, Mom, Dad! Guess what? I came with someone today. Meet my fiancee, Evan."Evan gazes at the two tombstones in front of them and places the bouquet they bought. They prayed silently for Bea's parents' soulsparents souls as tribute and respect."Do sit down."Bea said and tapped the space on her side after sitting down on the grass. Evan obliged. "What's with your silence, Evan?"Bea asked when she noticed Evan being too quiet ever since they came to the cemetery to visit her parents. It's so unlike him, as he would usually talk to her about random things."I was thinking how you managed to survive. Alone."He said and stared into her eyes. He feels somehow pity for her but at the same time salutes Bea for being a brave girl. "Hmm? It's not that easy for me. They were taken from me so suddenly, it was so hard for me to cope up.""My poor baby,"he commented, then putputs his arm around her shoulders, and Bea restedrests her head on his shoulder. "Don't pity me,"she warned joking
"What should I wear?"Bea asked herself as she is currently staring at her wardrobe. Looking for something to wear, suddenly became so hard to decide on."This."She took a black tube cocktail dress and tried it on. She faced her full-length mirror to check her look. but shook her head after."Too revealing."She muttered then looked for another dress again. Evan might think she's trying to seduce him if she wears it, but that's somehow Bea's plan though. "Urgh."Bea groaned in frustration. "Jason, can you help me with my makeup, please."She called Jason who was busy playing a game on his phone. She's done putting on her makeup but she feels unsatisfied about it. Jason took a glimpse at her and then back to his phone."What's more to put? Your makeup is fine."He commented."No, I think it is too dark. Don't you think so?"She said but Jason didn't reply and continued playing. Bea wonders why she's acting like a teenager again when she is just going to have a business meeting with
Evan was in the middle of his paperwork when the rain started to pour. He stood from his seat and went to his window and gazed as the water dropped to the ground. The sound of it somehow relaxes his nerves. It's soothing, but at the same time reminds him of the past. Bea. There's no single day he never thinks of her. When she left him, it was like everything he had also fallen. It feels like he has lost everything. Each day, he would wake up late, and try to be productive as he could be before, but he can no longer be the same Evan as he could be before he met Bea."She would have been playing around like a child under the rain if she was here."He mumbled to himself, reminiscing the times Bea adores the raindrops. And just like how we can not predict when the rain stops, was like his longing for his love to come home. He knows deep within his heart that no matter how long he'll wait, Bea will definitely go home. Even without assurance, he knows it by heart. One day their path will cr
People say that love conquers all. It is that powerful. But what does it mean? When can you say that it's already love? True love, to be exact.Is it when your heart suddenly started to race, and everything around you slowed down as your eyes met? And then you see sparks around, like the most cliche scenes being portrayed in dramas? How do we really define it? However a person defines, or sees love, which may be different from others, as one thing for sure; love is a natural thing that just comes without you being aware of. It is not just a mere feeling, but more beyond that. It is a vast profound matter that if we interpret wrong, it could lead us to destruction. It could ruin everything, like a domino. Therefore, we come to a conclusion and ask ourselves; How should we love, then? When do we have to hold on and let go? Yet, whatever it is, come what may. When Bea left Evan to find her soul, Evan had a hard time coping up. He keeps on blaming himself, asking almost every single da
"Wow, what is this place?"Evan asked in awe as he roamed his eyes around the garden. Both of them are surrounded by beautiful flowers. It was endless."I call it paradise."Bea responded as she sat on the grass. Evan was mesmerized by the beauty of nature. He never knew there was a place like this that existed."How did you know about this place?"He asked and sat beside her. "Hmm, I just know."She responded. Evan turned and saw a piano nearby. "There's a piano!"He exclaimed happily. Indeed a paradise, he thought."Wanna play it?"Evan nodded excitedly and immediately went in front of the piano. He pressed a tile and was delighted when it created a sound. Bea drew near beside him and started to hum a song. Evan followed her with the melody, with the beauty of nature being with them. They both look happy together. No pain. No tears. It was such a dream he wouldn't want to be woken up from. This is just too perfect. Evan gazed at Bea who was singing, too innocently. He smiled at h
"Bea!"Evan stood up right away from his seat as soon as Bea went out of her room, after locking herself in for days now. Giving him the silent treatment. Well, they did talk about the issue the day after that night. Bea said that she forgives Evan, and that she understands everything, but then afterward, decided to act as if he's not around. God knows how much Evan misses her even though they see each other every single day. They live under the same roof though. Yet Bea treats him like he's simply a wind, unseen. "Are you going somewhere?"He asked. Bea made no attempt to even look his way for a moment. "Bea! I am asking where are you going?"He repeated his question, a bit louder than the first. "Yes."She answered plainly as she puts her sandals on."Where?"Even though Evan knew already that Bea isn't going to answer his question, he still asked it."Where you're not around."She said and exited the condo. Evan had no choice but to sigh. This kind of setup is slowly killing Ev
