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
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
“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
“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
I swayed my body to each beat of the music that the DJ was playing. My eyes were closed while I dance like a crazy woman in the middle of the dance floor. I honestly don't give a f*ck if I'm wasted. I feel sorry for the people that I had accidentally hit every time I move.
"Can...can you say it again, mom?" I asked, unbelievingly. "Can you say it again because I don't think I've heard you right? Hindi ko alam na nagaalala pa pala kayo sa akin kasi sa pagkakaalam ko wala na akong magulang! My parents died years ago! Hindi ko alam na may magulang pa pala ako dahil pakiramdam ko may pakialam lang kayo kapag may kailangan kayo sa akin! Tama ba, mom?!" I said, giving all the energy that I think I still have for this night. Ang gusto ko ay mahiga na sa kama at ipikit ang mga mata ko! Hindi iyong ganito! God knows how badly I want my parents to notice and to care for me but shit! Sa lahat ng wish ko sa bawat pagsapit ng birthday ko, hinihiling ko na sana mapansin nila ako. But I didn't expect that this is gonna happened through my wishes. Yes, my wish just granted but this is not how I like it. Oo nga't nangyari yung nagiisa kong wish, pero lintik lang, bakit naman ganito?! Bakit sa ganito pang paraan? Mom was taken aback by what I ju
I'mnot in the mood to talk with my friends so I decided to go straight to our classroom and buried myself in the thought about what mom had said last night. I still can't get over it. Parang nage-echo pa rin sa isip at pandinig ko yung mga sinabi niya. Did she mean that? She wanted me to marry the future heir of Fe Veragon just for the sake of our losing company? She wants me to get married because that's the only thing I could do to help them? So that explains why they are so grumpy these past few days! It's because they are involved in that big release issue! Ano ba kasing kabalastugan ang ginawa nila at pati ako ay kailangang magdusa? "Tss," I rolled my eyes and lean my back on my chair. Do they really think that they can command me to do something ridiculous that easily? And heck, they just mentioned marriage! Sinira na nila ang mga taon nung kabataan ko tapos ngayon pati ba naman ang future life ko gusto pa nilang sirain? G
Wait, what?! Tama ba ang dinig ko? Weidal Lazien Fe Veragon? As in Fe Veragon? Iyong anak ni Mr. Napollion Fe Veragon who owned the international big franchise here in the Philippines? Weidal, iyong nagiisang tagapagmana ng Fe Veragon's Franchise? Mabilis na nagangat ako ng tingin sa unahan. Dahil nasa bandang itaas kami dahil style na pahagdan pataas ang classroom namin ay malinaw na malinaw kong nasaksihan ang pagpasok ng isang napakapamilyar na lalaki. My mouth went big and I almost lose my heartbeat the moment I saw a guy entered our classroom. Just like how I bumped myself from him earlier, he's still wearing his dark brown jacket with his hoodie on, covering almost his whole face. Ilang beses kong pinikit at iminulat ang mga mata ko kung tama ba ang nakikita ko. I fought the urge to stand up and ask him if I'm really seeing him here, seeing him now. And freaking cheese! He's our new block mate who just happened to be my future husband because of what my
Tahimiklang ang buong byahe namin papunta sa kanila. I honestly don't know why I feel anxious. Para bang hindi ako mapakali sa inuupuan ko. I look in his direction. He doesn't seem to notice my behavior because he's sleeping. Ghad, ano bang klaseng tao 'to? May tao bang natutulog nang nakajacket na makapal at suot pa ang hoodie while covering his whole face with a thick towel? I don't think other guys would do the same thing as he does. He's too much for a weirdo. I rolled my eyes and focus scrolling through my F******k Account. Nahagilap ko din ang latest status ni Gray, yung hiniwalayan ko nung isang araw lang. Gray Inriqoè Salvacion— 36 mins ago.I can't still get over you. Why do you have to break my heart?Like(409)—Comment(377)—Share(46) I almost rolled my eyes. Seriously though? Ganito na ba talaga kadrama ang mga tao ngayon? Ghad, he already knew me starting from the first pl

“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
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
