Natalie grumbled as she couldn't answer such a simple question. Surely this kind of episode never happened with her Ate before. Now she wonders how troubled she was to lock herself in her room for two consecutive days.
"She doesn't even bother to get up and fetch some food, so I haven't really had a chance to talk to her," Natalie said quite apathetically.
"Is everything really alright?" Sheila repeats, "I'm quite worried for her, she might've…"
"Honestly, I'm more worried that no one will buy the food than her deciding not to come out, so that's my main concern," Natalie replies.&nb

The place Irene went into is barren, almost unnerving; the graves are obviously untended, purposely left to gather dead autumn leaves, grow weeds, and remain dusty. It clearly shows how no one cares about the deceased being laid there.She doesn't expect much, honestly knowing how her parents ended up there. But beneath her moist eyes and bittersweet smile, there should've been a better place for them."It had been a long time since I've visited my hometown, and I could feel how much I'd enjoy going for a walk in this humid air if it hadn't been for this opportunity."As she reached the grave, crystal-like tears fell down Irene's face. The dirt crunched under her feet as she knelt down looking at the slab of rock with her parents' names on it.

She doesn't stand a chance.Seeing her grandfather stiffly walking from left to right as a way to intimidate her, she carefully counted the twelve strides he took before he turned and retraced his steps. The other man with him is now at one end of the room, near the steel door with a wire-meshed glass window.He paused.She watched as he looked around at the surroundings. For a fact, Matty knew that he let the white noise blasting into the room take its toll on her. Of course she won't budge with just this, and it seems that Mariano also knew about it.It was only his way of instilling some mind game-esque charade with her. He wants to make her think, have doubts, and eventually

The asphalt road easily redirects them towards Melissa's house, and it is obvious that Irene hasn't had much experience visiting other people's houses, especially as a guest. Normally the farthest she had gone in someone's house was at their front door, whether to deliver things or inform them of notices depending on what her previous job demanded.This is actually her first real home visit."Is this it?" Black Wolf drawled his words as he looked at the old-fashioned house."Yes, it surely is…" Irene said, placing her hands on her waist.Just as they were about to head towards the stairs, a figure of a young man approached them, it was Jaiden. And it seems like he w

"Ali what happened!" I screamed and called her name, the camera started playing as she ran towards me from the pool."Ate, help my goggles fall in the pool!" she said and pulled me frantically."I see, where did you drop it?" I asked."There!" she said and pointed at the deepest part of the pool."Ok, don't worry, Ate's going to get it," I said and tousled her hair.I dived into the pool and quickly found the goggles laying on the corner. I successfully brought it back to the floor and as soon as I rose up from the pool, standing on the near edge of it, I heard a voice.

Everything is going well, and Ali is warming up to Jaiden. As for me, I still have some reservations for him. I know he is a douche but I guess he is entirely not a bad guy.Maybe it's alright to open up to him for a bit."Yow, how ya' doin'?" he asked as he sat beside me."Nothing much, just filming the pool..." I said."You seem to love filming things…" he said."Nah, it's just a way to express myself. I just find it normal to view the world in a third-person perspective. I don't usually include myself in the scene. Basically I think of myself as a viewer rather than a character." I said.

A day had passed, and it seems her parents are not oblivious to Matty's sudden disappearance. Truthfully, they already had a clue where she might've been so they didn't opt to call the police as it could alert Mariano who has enormous connections in the police hierarchy.I really wish to tell Irene yesterday that I'm Caroline but the situation doesn't call for it. Also, she is already busy coordinating with Black Wolf about the transfer of her parents' grave here in Capital City. I think I should put that on hold for now, what's important right now is Matty's safety.I went to the campus earlier to double check but it seems that she really had been missing for two days. I also didn't go to the campus for almost two days, and also a few more days before that. But no one seems to care, well that doesn't matter

That time I was thinking whether to continue confessing or just brush it off. Normally I would brush it off but there's a part of me that longs to say it.I looked at her and then tell her, "Ah, nevermind… just forget abou— I'm actually Caroline!"I shouted."Say what again? Irene fumbled."Well, I'm not exactly Caroline if I consider it…""Wait! Mimi…""To be more accurate, I was the one who created the account! I was the one who messed things up without meaning to…"

"M-Matty!" I screamed in astonishment.Truly I was happy to see her that moment. Her caramel skin, her brownish hair. Those eyes that glimmer like an amethyst crystal. She is a breath of fresh air.However, seeing a group of guards surrounding her made me a bit reserved so I wished not to bother her. But before I could even excuse myself, I was suddenly ambushed by a warm hug from Matty.That moment I figured out that she needed me right now, so I hugged her back, "I missed you, girl!""Me too!""Miss Matty…" a PSG suddenly voiced out her concern.

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.

"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, just park the trike at the side…." I said as I went out of the vehicle."Naku, Mimi, are you really ok?" 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
