Chapter 12: Misfits Or Victims

last update Last Updated: 2021-10-14 09:26:52

A loud techno-like noise resounds on the streets and the road is swarming with people. The feeling is closely similar to those festive days during the previous elections. When political jiggles were continuously played around the streets, forcing you to remember them as it goes on. 

Now that it reminds me, the barangay will be hosting an event that was currently being developed by the Capital City Mayor, well not that I know him personally but he is the burly guy Matty was talking with a few weeks ago. Erwin Fernandez, former Councilor and Fernandez family's "The Loyal Dog". It has been proven that he is the most trustworthy member of the family, and his governance is truly satisfactory amongst his constituents. 

Maybe right now they are preparing for the event. Anyways that was their problem and I have m

    It has been thousands of years since philosophers pondered the question "Who am I?" Yet no one had fully grasped the concept of self. I sighed knowing this book about existence will be too hard for me to understand. I've been reading quite a number of books already yet all the information I absorbed just entered my brain and exited some other way. Mrs. Bautista is already staring at me, perplexed on how I'm even trying to hit my head with a thick book, forcing to transfer all the knowledge on my brain. I'll just go home and eventually think about it. I held some books in return and gathered quite a number of new books to supplement my studies. After all, given that I ha

    I was confident until a moment ago, I'm afraid that I had yet to comprehend that being suddenly held by him is nerve wracking, my new found confidence just puffed out of the sky like a balloon exploding due to extreme atmospheric pressure. I wished I had known that, that moment the water droplets rain down the summer road, he will come to save me like a prince in a wondrous fairy tale. * * * Standing on the road side, agitated by the mere thought of finally meeting the girl who he had been looking for for the past week, Jaiden brushed up his hair, tidying it to the best of his abilities. He is constantly looking at his watch, even to the point of counting his fingers from ner

    Of course, he was surprised. Who in their right mind will slap themselves, in front of the other party, without prior warning? I mean for else's sake, I prevented myself from kissing a stranger. Well, I did know him but from his point of view I'm just a girl he just randomly saved, thus a bona fide stranger. Despite my cheeks starting to appear red, that was a slight punishment for thinking something as kissing him. Still I didn't expect him to apologize because I slapped myself. "Sorry, you seem kind of startled," he said, puffing his eyes for forgiveness. I just went on silent mode and walked away slowly. "Just think of it like nothing had happened."

    She opened her eyes in a sterilized bed, the smell of bleach was reeking around the area, it didn't seem odd as the bed was facing a white tiled bathroom recently cleaned just a few minutes ago. For a moment she was perplexed, but after quickly realizing the event that evening, she sighed. "Looks like I lost to that uncle," she said. Her body was still sort of heavy from the cold, but it is evident that her condition was a lot better now. "I need to get out of here." She stood up from the bed and located her belongings now dried and neatly placed on the corner of the room. The table, and electric fan that she thought she lost was along the bunch of things that were resting th

    "Ugh, Why are there so many customers today?" I said as there are many people entering and exiting the convenience store. Honestly it is a good sign that many customers are coming, so the owner might decide to increase my pay. Well, that is kinda impossible in reality but there is no harm in hoping. "Here is your change," I said to the teenage guy who just bought a can of soda. "C'mere girl!" Someone shouted, I noticed that a university student was hitting on the girl outside the store. It is obvious that he was drunk. Of course people didn't mind them, they just went about their own business. As for me, as much as I wanted to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that I'm too wimpy for this situation. I took my phone and snapped a picture, it might be used as an evidence for sexual harassment, I'm also secretly recording a video in

    The young night sky glimmered with flashing lights, and the sound of a sultry band was playing in the background. For a moment the cold ice slowly sublimed on the wooden table as Matty was sitting nervously on the corner of a certain cafe near the Capital. She was calm at the most part but there is this slight fear in her eyes. Today is a rather important day because this is the day that the world will know who Mariano Fernandez was. To her, he is her grandfather, to some he is a father, and to many he is the current President of the Republic Philippines. There is a very heavy personality there in the whole nation. But all of that will end today. &n

Holding it on two ends they both placed it on the bulletin board for everyone to see. "It's definitely a wonderful day….." Irene said as she stared at the paper announcing an extensive feeding-program, her hand was on her waist and a grin was painted on her lips. It has been two weeks since she started working here, and today, she is no longer a staff member only allowed to do random chores. Just two days ago, she had been en

    It was never my intention to get caught up with Jaiden's pesky advances. He is becoming overly friendly by the minute. He now frequently visits me in the convenience store, slowly I'm starting to find myself always with him. Of course, it is not like I disliked the development and everything, it is just that the more we spend our time together the more I lose the chance to confess to him… about the reality of Caroline's identity. To be honest, I can somehow feel that he is just forcing himself on me so he couldn't think about her… like I'm just like some kind of past time or something… I was standing at the entrance of C Mall where he told me to meet him. We have been spending two weeks together as friends and I'm starting to learn more

    THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER, A well thought of disaster in that matter. To be honest, the journey of writing this narrative had put me in a constant strain of what if scenarios. It is like exploring a new entire world without a single idea about the consequences the realm exhibits. And, as much as I hate to admit it, romance is a weakness I would rather omit. It is a reality that my virgin mind failed to navigate freely. To simply say, this story is a fraud— a slice of life drama advertising itself as a young-adult romance. I also do have some reservations in calling it an oversimplified chick-lit story. In the end, I decided to go the most logical route and face my unyielding fear to reconsider my abstinent views towards intimate correspondence.I knew that I needed to rekindle the lost flare of my hopeless romantic heart, and so I did. I made a brave decision a

    "To what floor?" I asked, as my index finger hovered over the panel.Just to be clear, a new guy went into the lift a few seconds ago. To be honest, I kinda wished that he didn't make it to the barely closing elevator doors. More importantly, I hope he didn't see me mashing the buttons to make the doors close a little more faster.Anyway, today is the day of the interview. And I believe I've accomplished pretty much everything I needed. I finished saying farewell to my hometown, moving to a new place, and now I'm finally heading for a new job. However, that will all boil down to whether I will get hired or not.The single other occupant in the elevator pushed his glasses up his nose and gave this stern look, "Hi," he said flatly.

    "Good Morning, Reverend Jaiden!" a lady in green shouts as Jaiden walks to the side of the street. "To you as well, Grace," he said as he beamed a smile."You're all smiles today, did something good happen?" she asked, trying not to appear desperate for gossip."No, as a matter of fact, I am just as happy as I'm yesterday," he said in the most sincere voice he could manage for the moment. "I see," the lady nodded as to not impede his private life.As Jaiden walks up to the church he can see a line forming to get in. For a moment he thought that this service would be for a full house.Jaiden lets out a deep breath and prepares himself for the 10:00 am sermon. Meanwhile, Pastor Ha

    "Uhm, your portfolio is kinda..." he slurred, placing his open palm just millimeters away from my face, "How should I put this…""Eccentric?" I asked. He gave me a dead look and answered, "Not quite….."From there, he started snapping his finger continuously, and with a sharp pause, he pointed at me then let out a word, "Aggressive! right… that's it. Especially this promotional poster…."I moved back involuntarily, and nearly fell backward over my seat, "Aggressive? But it is for an action-fantasy movie!"He reached out to steady me, and I knew he was reaching for my hand, "Darling, we are a production company that produces movies like "Cat In The Box

    The solemn ground whispered a comforting tone as the gentle winds passed by dragging the autumn leaves slowly descending on the grassy floor.It was the height of noon and the sun was shining brightly at the blue skies, staring down the tombstone erected below. For a single point, a fair maid stood in silence as she looked down the grave, etched with memories of the deceased."Mom and Dad, have you been well? Sorry I wasn't able to visit for quite a while now," The girl in a daunting uniform said as she stood up on a well-furnished grave.The wind blew gently once more, swaying the wisps of her hair. She placed a bouquet of Hydrangea flowers on the grave and gazed at the distance zooming towards a dignified man approaching her.

    As I was thinking of my miserable situation, a knock resounded on my door, "It is me, may I come in?" a gentle voice called me.That time I knew right away that it was Jaiden who was on the other side of the door. I quickly opened it and saw a decently dressed man on my doorstep."What made you visit, aren't you busy with your duties in the ministry, you even had additional counseling sessions on the weekends," I asked, since I'm worried for him."Why does it seem like you don't want to see me?" Jaiden asked. "Besides, I was just ordained recently, so I don't have much work load for now. You can say that I'm still in the process of being a full-pledge Pastor.""Fine, whatever. So why

Manong Kokoy asked me.I gave him a silent nod and flatly answered him with a question, "Should I be alright?"I never gave it a second thought and went upstairs to see Natalie and Tatay at the doorstep. I fixed my shriveled hair and smiled with my busted lips.Seeing their expectant faces made me crestfallen. "What happened to you, did you get into a fight," Tatay asked, seeing my slightly beaten up face."It's nothing, Tatay," I said to make him less worried. "Anyway, Ate! What happened

    The siren of the police moving away from the palace created a Doppler effect, as the sound slowly dissipated along the distance.I stared back at the ambulance bed, and Jaiden looked at me with a gentle smile. For some reason I can sense an uneasy expression in his face, "What's the matter with you two?" I asked Jaiden and Joseph who were suddenly avoiding my gaze."Oh, is it about the spy thing? I already knew… heard everything from Athena," I said casually."Wait… then you must've heard about Athena's father," Jaiden said leaning forward towards me.I smiled at him and nodded, "I also heard about it…"

    That time Joseph still didn't know that his Big Bro was already suffering from terminal illness, and had only a few more weeks to live. Mariano then tried his best to dispose of them in any way possible after failing the mission."The Messiah Group suddenly disappeared, some of its members fought back and died miserably, others ran away, while some got arrested. Big Bro died a few days after his illness got the best of him. I and some other members, on the other hand, got caught in a trap Mariano that set-up after trying to sneak into Big Bro's funeral.""Fortunately, I only got six months of imprisonment since they cannot get enough evidence to detain me for much longer, with that I remember what Big Bro told me about a suburban barangay in the north, so I tried to look as his stuff and find out that the place he
