2021-08-08 11:06:08I inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm myself. I admit it, I can be a freak sometimes so I would just leave before I could do something that I will just regret later. It's easy for me to leave because that is what I always do.
I held onto the railings and sniff the cold air. Nasa may rooftop ako ng building.
I closed my eyes. Dinama ko ang hangin at unti unting kinakalma ang sarili.
Every time I feel stressed I would always go to places that are not crowded and relaxing. Unlike others, I don't go straight to a bar or a club. Pero kung hindi ko na talaga kayang tiisin ay iniinom ko na lang because that way, I can just easily forget everything.
But sometimes I failed to forget, they remain in my head.
"You look stressed."
I almost jump because of shock when I heard someone speak behind me. I immediately opened my eyes and turned around just to see his face!
"P-palaka—I mean, Weid," I said. I was even holding my chest. I fought the

I saw how fast she altered her reaction. Her rage faded but I can't still see sadness nor guilty in her eyes. It doesn't...it doesn't affect her as I expected. It's just nothing for her. She doesn't even look hurt and guess what, I think she felt insulted by what I said.Nothing is new. Who was I kidding? She's a robot who doesn't care about someone's feelings. That is how selfish she is.I felt the pain starting to build inside me. Honestly, even if we always argue, I still love her. I'm still hoping that she will change. I still consider her as my mom, but part of me losing hope for it.Almost 70% of me starting not to care anymore. It's like I'm slowly accepting the truth that she won't change any more. That she doesn't really care about me.And the worst part is, the fact that she's just using me, the reason why she was giving me 1/4 of her attention."Then don't! You don't know everything that I've been through! Stop messing around, Ren! Stop

Kinabukasan, maaga akong umalis. I don't have any idea and guts of how to face my parents after what just happened last night. So I went to school but because it was only 4 in the morning, I just went to the near coffee shop.I stayed there for the whole 2 hours. When I felt bored, I entered the campus and decided to take a nap in the clinic since I still have 1 more hour before the classes start. Honestly, this is the first time I did this that's why I'm not shocked anymore when I saw the nurse's reaction upon seeing me.When the clock strike at 9, the bell rang. That's my cue to get up and made my way to my classes.Everything went smoothly. I haven't seen Drellia, she's not around. Julie and Dave didn't talk about her and one thing I've noticed, they were distant from me. I don't know if it's because of what I did? Siguro iniisip nila na ayaw ko na sa kanila but honestly, it's not like that. I always want to be with them even if they were so annoying all the

My heart started to pound so fast that I still need to heave for a long and deep sigh before I was able to speak again. I don't know why. But I think I already have an idea about to whom I was talking. My hands' tremble as I feel the intense feeling starting to build inside me. Ramdam ko rin ang pagtaas ng mga balahibo ko sa aking batok at binti. "W-who the hell are y-you?" I asked, stuttering. I was starting to get panicky! I hustle as I walked faster, heading back to the car. Sunod-sunod ang paglinga ko sa paligid, natatakot na baka may biglang sumulpot. Halos matapilok pa nga ako sa kamamdali. This is not fun! I'm really scared at this moment. And the cold breeze that the air was giving me just making things worse than I could imagine. Naguguluhan ako kung bakit ganito magreact ang sistema ko nang marinig ang boses na iyon. Something in my past seemed to be connected with this person and I wonder what it is. He even sound familiar!

I slowly opened my eyes and a white wall plastered on my sight. I knew that I was laying down on a bed, I can feel it. The strong scent is making their way into my nose that I felt like I am getting hypnotized by its smells.Dahan dahan kong iginala ang mata ko sa paligid. Pakiramdam ko para akong nahihilo at dumadagdag pa ang panlalabo ng aking paningin.Hell, why do I feel drunk?!As I lift my hands to touch my eyes, I realized that a thick cream-colored blanket was covering half of my body. Parang wala pa ako sa aking sarili ngunit ang mapagtantong wala ako sa sariling kwarto ay kaagad akong gumising sa aking katinuan.Where the hell am I?!I immediately got up from the bed, bearing the pain that I suddenly feel. It's like I drunk myself last night even if I did not.Roaming my eyes on every corner of what I suppose is a bedroom, my jaw liter

The hell, who wouldn't know this Weirdo?! "Y-You?!" I yelled. Pero gaya ng inaasahan, malamang hindi siya nasindak. His facial expression was still normal at para bang nababagut pa siya. Unti-unting bumaba ang tingin ko sa kaniyang kanang kamay na may hawak na panyo. Wait, panyo? Wait, siya? Si Weirdo? What the hell is he doing here?! Is he one of the captives too? Or worst, siya ba ang nagpakidnapped sa akin?! The fuck?! Ano 'to? Parang iyong nangyayari sa TV na iyong nasa paligid mo ay nagpapanggap para lang magmanman tapos saka mo lang malalaman kapag nakidnap kana o na-abduct? Then whatwould happen after that? To-torture-in niya ako hanggang sa magmakaawa ako na patayin niya na lang ako tapos tatawanan niya ako at sasabihin sa akin na hindi iyon pwede. Na dahil may ipapagawa pa siya sa akin at iyon ay ang patay

I stayed in this room for another couple of hours thinking lots of things. Hindi ko maalis sa isip ko ang mga katotohana na nalaman ko kahapon. Hangang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa mga bagay na kahapon ko lang nalaman.My mom had something to do with Yaya Pillar’s death. I can’t believe she can do something horrible as what I am thinking right now. And what hurts me the most is that it’s Yaya Pillar. Iyong taong nagpalaki at nag-alaga sa akin ang pinag-uusapan. Iyong taong hanggang ngayon ay hinihiling ko na sana nasa tabi ko pa rin.Bakit kailangang siya pa?A tear escapes my eyes. Inalis ko ang paningin sa labas ng bintana at pinahid ang luhang kumawala sa mata ko. Pero huli na ang lahat. Nangyari na ang mga nangyari kaya ano pa bang magagawa ko? Nagiisa na lang, iyon ay ang bigyan ng hustisya ang pagkamatay ni Yaya Pillar. At least that way I can still help her.Ila

“What the hell are you doing here?!” I yelled and immediately throw the first thing that I have grabbed in his direction which is the pillow. Hindi ako makapaniwalang muli ko pa pala siyang makikita. “Hey, Hey! Wait–Stop!” natigil ako nang sumigaw na rin siya. Rinig na rinig ko ang inis sa boses niya. I glared at him. “Why are you here?!” I questioned, threatening to throw the vase that is now in my hand. He rolled his eyes as if the answer is obvious. Nangunot ang noo ko. Bakla nga talaga. I didn’t know that I would see this hermaphrodite for the second time. “My friend pleaded with me to go here and check on you since he’ll come late tonight,” he said. I watched as he closed the door and went inside. He did not even mind asking me if it was okay for him to come in. Kahit naman hindi akin ang condo na ‘to, he still needs to ask! Paano pala kung allergy ako sa kaniya, edi namatay ako dito ng

“I didn’t know his condo has this room,” I said as I surveyed the room that Archer led me into. I’m actually struck that Weid’s condo is this big, not that I expected it to be small though. He belongs to one of the richest families here in the Philippines. I even shouldn’t be surprised if I learn that they also have a mall. Kung sakali ay dapat expected ko na iyon after knowing how to reach they are. Archer laughed. “You won’t believe me if I tell you that there’s also a room for cinema and golf,” he said and that stop me from walking. I looked at him. “Are you f*cking serious?!” I exclaimed. Wow! I didn’t expect that one! Come on, hindi ko naman inaasahan na malaki ang condo ni Weid! Mostly, umaabot ng 20 milyon ang isang condominium lalo na kung sobrang laki ng space! Gaano ba talaga kalaki ang condo ni Weid? Saka baka may hindi pa ako alam? Ano pa bang meron dito? Baka meron ding shopping mall dito sa condo niya

“Did you review your answer before passing it to me?” Mr. German asked.I nodded my head and rolled my eyes. Sinong tanga ang magpapasa ng hindi pa pala sigurado sa sagot?He gave me an annoyed look before checking my papers. Ewan ko ba kung bakit napakastrikto at sungit ng professor na ito. Mabait naman siya sa iba, siguro ay may problema lang talaga siya sa akin. Who cares though? He can die now. I won’t even bother to help him. Baka ganun din nga iniisip niya sa akin, edi kwits lang kami.When he flipped the last page of the papers, he placed it at the side of his table before he rerouted his eyes back at me. This time he gave me a questioning look.Nairita ako sa kung paano siya tumingin sa akin kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.Naturingang gwapo may deperensya naman sa ugali. Many students, especially girls, have a crush on him. Medyo sikat pa nga siya dahil

“Good that you’re finally awake.” I slowly opened my eyes and sit up on the bed. I found myself inside of a room with the walls painted pale blue. I even saw some of marvel heroes inside of the huge boxes at the side near the study table. They were all made of glass because the lights coming from the chandelier of this room reflects them. I believe those were expensive or worst were they all an edition? “What do you think of my room? Is it bad?” a familiar voice asked. Gulat akong agad siyang hinanap hanggang sa makita ko siyang nakaupo sa isang L-shape couch while his eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop. Medyo nanibago pa ako dahil nakasuot siya ng reading eyeglass. “Neus?!” I exclaimed. He shifted his eyes from his laptop to me and our eyes met. He looks different wearing an eyeglass. I feel like this is not the Planneus that I know. Ang seryuso niyang t

I massage the bridge of my nose as I lean my back on the couch, staring at the piles of papers and notes on the table.“Oh, coffee ka muna. Baka mabanggag ka na riyan sa pagre-review.” I watched as Julie place the cup of coffee on the table.I sighed.How can I put all of this information in my head in just one night? Nakakapagod mag-aral at maglagay ng maglagay ng mga bagong kaalaman sa utak natin. But what choice do we have? If we don’t do this, we would fail. Tapos kapag bumagsak tayo, marami na naman ang magsasabi na hindi natin ginawa ang best natin. Na pinabayaan lang natin na bumagsak tayo without knowing that we even stressed and starve ourselves just to study and review. Mac-compare pa tayo sa iba.Funny how reality sucks the most. Iyong mga tao na dapat ay magpapagaan ng loob natin after nating bumagsak o hindi makapasa ay sila pa na nangungunang husgahan tayo. Gaya

Kinaumagahan, I woke up feeling tired. I remembered forcing Weid to go home after I finished reviewing sa unit ni Julie. Hating gabi na nun at mukhang wala pang planong umuwi si weirdo kung hindi ko pa sinabing uuwi na rin ako. Good thing it didn’t wakes Julie otherwise it would be world war III.I sighed as I stormed off my room. Halos apat na oras lang ang nagging tulog ko dahil sa pagre-review. Nang makauwi kasi ako dito ay nagreview pa rin ako. I can’t sleep though. Hanggang ngayon binabagabag pa rin ako ng tungkol sa pagbubuntis ni Julie.“Anak,” my dad called me. He’s drinking tea from the living room while reading a newspaper.Huminto ako sa paglalakad at tumingin sa kaniya.“You need something?” walang gana kong tanong.He sighed. Kitang-kita ko ang takot sa mata niya at pagkailang.“How are you? I&rsquo

“The heck, this is all good! Wait, when did you learn how to capture a good shot?”I looked at Weid, he was just watching me checking all the pictures that he took kanina. I’m shocked. I didn’t expect he’s good at this! Ang galing niyang kumuha ng litrato!“My mom was a photojournalist before. She taught me how to use the camera and how to get a good angle before shooting. I was 13 that time,” he said.Tumitig ako sa kaniya. I did not know about that. “You’re lucky,” I muttered before looking away.We were now sitting on a bench. Halos isang oras na rin ang nakaraan nang maglakad-lakad kami. The whole time ay siya ng siya ang pinapakuha ko ng picture ko. Pinanood ko pa siya sa Youtube kung paano kumuha ng maayos na picture.“Anyway, I asked you kanina kung marunong ka pero hindi ka sumagot. I feel like I look stupi

“Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Namjung.”I hugged Mrs. Namjung and it was also me who pulled out. She smiled at me and I did the same. “I was wondering when your wedding is, hm?” she suddenly asked and I laughed jokingly.“We’ll just send you an invitation, Auntie,” I said. She held my hand and told me to look at her so I did.“Tell me if there’s something wrong, okay? Your parents are witches, I know. So don’t hesitate to call me if you need something.”I nodded. Mrs. Namjung is one of my parents’ business partners and also my mom’s friend. Ninang ko siya but we seldom see each other because she lives in Korea. “Yes, Auntie.”“Shin Hye, I can hear you!” My mom kiddingly said. Sabay silang humalakhak kaya nagpaalam na muna ako sa kanila para batiin pa ang ilang ka-meeting namin.

I must say, Weid is a weirdo. It's like he's also bipolar. He is sometimes quiet, weird, a loner, and that time? He was friendly. We finished playing Tekken and yeah, he won against me but he still gave back the sim. He said he hasn't fully cleared it yet but it's safe to use it though."Yes, Ms. Race?" Bungad ni Planneus nang masagot niya ang tawag ko.I sat on my bed and played with the hem of my shirt. "I was wondering if I can still back out from the runaway this coming next week?"Nabigla ako nang makarinig ako ng tila may nabasag. "Wait...What?!"I sighed. "I know it's so sudden but I don't think I can make it. I mean, I had a talk with my mom just moments ago and we discussed the company. I'd be busy next week to sign some papers since I'll inherit everything. Like duh? I don't know, I just want to inform you."Nanatili siyang tahimik ngunit nakasagot din naman. "I'll think about that, Rena. But... can't you really come? There's a lot of my

I was busy watching the news on tv about the issue of RIC when someone sat down next to me. Sa gulat ko ay hindi agad ako nakagalaw."Here," Weid said and handed me my phone. Oo nga pala, kinuha niya ito kahapon. Hindi naman talaga kaso sa akin kasi I rarely check my phone. Minsan ay nanonood lang ako talaga sa netflix o kaya ay nage-scroll sa mga social media accounts ko.I remembered having a meeting with Planneus but fortunately, it was cancelled due to his hectic schedule. Nagkaroon daw ng biglaang pameeting ang board nila kasi naadjust din ang fashion show na dapat ay nung nakaraang lunes naganap. They moved it and the fashion show would be next month.I was happy to know that they count me in to be one of the model. I have nothing to worry kasi ang mga isusuot ko naman ay pag-aari ng The Vames na partner ni Neus, short ng Planneus.Tumingin ako kay Weid. "What did you do to my phone? Saka bakit alam mo ang pass ko?" I asked.He just raised hi
What If I Do? Chapter 28
I've spent the whole three days in Weid's condo. To be honest, hindi naman ako nabobore. There's a lot of things that keeps me holdin'. Gaya na lang ni Yag na araw-araw pumupunta rito sa condo ni Weid. I don't know what's with him why he always make fun of me. Lagi tuloy kaming nagrarambulan.I stared at the screen of my phone. And for the whole three days, I've received six calls from different unregistered numbers. I would also sometimes received a message that has only one word from it."Die."I honestly didn't take it that seriously. I mean, I know it's a threat but f*ck. I don't get them! They don't even let me know what I have had done to them to give me a death threat! I don't even have an idea how they get my phone number. As for what I know, it was Weid who bought the sim.Imposible namang ipinamigay niya ang number ko.I also remembered getting a call from mom. It shocked me when she started asking if I was doing great or if I'm good. I t
