Twenty-three

Paglabas ko ng gym ay nakita ko agad si Cianne na nakasandal sa sasakyan niya. He's wearing a black cargo pants and white shirt. He's also wearing his fave specs. Naglakad siya palapit sa akin with a beautiful genuine smiled pasted on his face. He hugs me for a couple of seconds before he carry my gym bag. Such a gentleman!

"You look exhausted. Saan mo gustong kumain?" nakangiting tanong niya. Naka-akbay siya sa akin habang naglalakad kami patungo sa sasakyan niya.

"To your place. Cook for me." I look at him with puppy eyes. He smiled before he mess up my hair. I pouted.

He opened the car door for me. He put my things at the back door. He helps me to put my seat belt. He really never failed to make my heart pound. When I'm with him, I always feel safe and secure.

"Aren't you busy? I thought you have date?" I asked while my eyes pasted on my phone.

He starts driving.

"You texted me, and she'll understand me for sure." Sinulyapan ko siya habang ang mga mata niya ay nasa

    Twenty-four"YES! EXAM NO MORE!" I exclaimed happily with my hands in the air. This is such a good day! Stress no more! "Miss Cassidy! Tone down your voice. The exam is still on going." Inirapan ko si Prof. Manuel na lumabas pa sa room niya para sitahin ako. Doh? "Bald head," I mocked. "Just go get busy shaving your head," I added sarcastically before I turned my back at him. Hindi ba pwedeng magsaya kasi finally tapos na ang exam? O well! He wouldn't understand how beautiful creature celebrate kasi because he was born bald from the start naman. Ugly! I checked my phone. No messages from them. Maybe they are still busy for their exams. Buti na lang I'm brilliant! O geez! I have it all na talaga! Beauty and brain. Moon Dashelle, you're so pinagpala talaga. "Micky," I called out my cousin who is walking like a zombie. What's wrong with this asshole again? "Did you fail your exam?" I asked with my brow arched. He lift his head to see how beautiful her cousin is. "Inom tayo?" My bro

    Twenty-five"Chas, code red."Mabilis kong binawi ang kamay ko nang may biglang sumulpot sa kung saan. What the hell is wrong with me? Why did I let him hold my soft hand? I really did lost my mind. So freaking annoying. "Oh. Siya 'yonh maarte." Turo sa akin nang lalaki. Inirapan ko lang siya. "Lasing na ata' to, Dude. Namumula na." Nag-iwas agad ako ng tingin. This is so embarrassing. Baka mamaya isipin niya gusto ko siya o kinikilig ako. No freaking way! Hindi ako kinikilig! Sadyang mainit lang kasi. "Gago. Akin 'to." Sinuntok niya ng mahina ang braso ng lalaki, pinandilatan ko naman siya ng mata dahil sa sinabi niya. He really got nerves to own me. This can't be. "Shootangina. Alam ko," Iiling-iling na sabi nito. "Gago. Tara na. Nagkakabasagan na sa labas."I don't know, but I suddenly feel uneasy with what he said. "Ano bang ganap?" pa-cool na tanong ni Chaster. Pinagtaasan ko ng kilay ang lalaki nang balingan niya ako. "'Yong pinsan nito, sumugod bigla." "Micky?" napatayon

    Twenty-sixMay mga tao talaga na kahit wala namang ginagawang masama sa'yo maaburido at maiinis ka na lang talaga. Tipong makita mo pa lang anino niya o marinig mo ang boses niya - parang gusto mo na lang makipag-away bigla. Muli akong napairap nang aksidente akong mapatingin sa mga annoying creatures. Ang sakit talaga sa mata. I'm at his school because my annoying cousins dragged me here all of a sudden. I'll kill them later for sure. "Lapitan mo na kasi. Mas naaaburido ako sa'yo sa pagmumukha mo eh," pagmamaktol ni Sunny na nagflipped hair pa na akala mo nama ikinaganda niya. Inirapan ko si Sunny. "Why would I do that? Ako lalapit? No freaking way! I'm Moon Dashelle fyi" I crossed my arms. Kahit maghalikan pa sila sa harapan ko, wala akomg pake! Masyado akong maganda para ma-stress sa pagmumukha nilang ang pangit sa mga mata."Mag kaibigan pala sila ni Chaster. No wonder, Angel is so close to him." Camille smiled as if what she said is nice in my ears. I raised a brow. "Will y

    Twenty-seven "What the freaking freak is happening?" I asked annoyed looking at the smiling pricks in front of me. May mga maleta pa silang dala.Hinilot ko ang aking sentido. This is stressing me out. This can't be. Today, I'm leaving to France because I need to meet up the Monte El Gallery CEO to settle up some papers. They wanted to meet me, and this is such an honor to me too. This is really my dream. But then, I didn’t see them coming with me. So annoying. "Sasama kami," Clay said smiling brightly at me as he walked towards me pa. They are all looking at me as if I can't do anything from them na — like they are so sure coming with me. "Kalma Insan, si Micky naman talaga ang nakaisip nito, dahil maghahanap daw ng jojowain na marunong sa french kiss." They all laughed with the gibberished of Cloud. I grimaced. Gross! "Si Sunny ang nakaisip nito. I'm just doing her some favor. Balak daw kasi niyang palitan si Howard." My eyes shifted to Micky. I haven't seen him smiling for day

    Twenty-eight "This is your co-captain Third Cassidy. The cabin crew will be coming around in this moment to offer you a dinner and beverage, and the inflight movie will begin shortly after that. I'll talk to you again before we reach our destination. Until then, sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the flight."I woke up with an announcement. I lifted my arm to see the time, magkahawak parin kami ng kamay pero ngayon ang kaliwa niyang kamay ang nakahawak sa kamay ko samantalang ang isang kamay niya ay nakapalibot sa balikat ko. Nag angat ako ng tingin, he is peacefully sleeping. The light is dim but I still clearly see his face. Nag init bigla ang mukha ko nang magmulat siya ng mata. We are so intimate, so my heart is acting strange again. "Nagising ba kita?" he asked in a husky raspy tone. Why does it sounded like — whatever! It's so hot here. "N-No." Umayos ako ng pagkakaupo. Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya sa balikat ko, ang kamay kong hawak niya ay nabawi ko rin. Kami lang ang gi

    Twenty-nineI'm walking beautifully to Clay's house while waving the paper I'm holding. Their maids looks fascinated when they saw me. Geez! Hangang-hanga na naman sila sa akin! Sobrang hirap talagang maging maganda dahil masyadong takaw atensyon. "Hey bijjies and assholes!" I called out their attentions. "I just get my exams result! And guess what?" I asked excitedly while waving the paper I'm holding up in the air. Lahat sila ay nabaling ang tingin sa'kin. "By the expression of your face. You failed." I glared at Sunny who mocked me. Nahinto naman agad siya sa pagtawa. Me? Failed my exam? There's no freaking hell way that it will happen. "For your info., I didn't fail it," pagyayabang ko with my brow arched. "Nakapasa ka? Naipasa mo?" pinandilatan ko ng mata si Clay na agad akong nginitihan. I sat down at the available chair beside Third na tumayo dahil mukhang may tawag siya. Pare-parehas nilang tinignan ang paper na hawak ko, saka sila nagkatinginan at muling binalik ang ma

    Thirty. "Anong gusto mo?"Hindi ko maiwasang mapabusangot at mandiri habang nakatingin sa paligid. Sobrang ingay at sobrang dami ng tao. What is this kind of place? I didn't know that something like this is existing. "Are you sure we're going to eat here?" I asked in disbelief. He nodded without hesitation. I blinked. Freakingly disgusting. "Seriously?" My brows furrowed. He chuckled. "Oo nga." "What—."Mabilis niya akong hinila palapit sa kanya dahil sa mga nag-uunahang mga tao na papasok ng karinderya. I really can't believe this! I never imagined this."Are you insane?" I frowned. I roam my eyes again, but ugh! "Ang baho," pagmamaktol ko. Napapadyak na ako dahil sa irita. Tumawa lang ito habang umiiling-iling. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko saka siya nag crossed arms, pati tuloy kamay ko naisama sa pagcross arms niya. Kairita talaga. "Masarap dito. Dito kami madalas kumain ng mga barkada ko." Inirapan ko siya at binawi ang kamay ko. "Did I ask?" "Magbabago ang isip mo once na

    Thirty-one"Sunduin kita mamaya?" tanong niya ng mapagbuksan niya ako ng pintuan. Para akong nasa alapaap at hindi ko man lang napansin na nakarating na kami sa destinasyon namin. He immediately covered my head when I stepped out in his luxury car. "Why? Don't you have plans?" "Ikaw lang naman plano ko. Ikaw ba?" I make face. O come on! "Will you freaking stop with the cheesy lines?" I annoyingly asked. He sneered. "Bakit kinikilig ka?" mayabang na tanong niya. "No," may diing sagot ko. Tinalikuran ko na siya. "Kita na lang tayo mamaya." Hindi ko siya pinansin, patuloy lang ako sa paglalakad. Nang medyo malayo na ako sa kanya ay tumigil ako sa paglalakad at nilabas ang phone ko. Me : Thanks for the lunch, Chas. I really enjoyed it! P. S Next time find a better place. O geez! I was back in reality when I felt my phone vibrated, I thought it was him. Micky : Spotted. Babaeng maganda! Texting while smiling! Confirmed. Feelings revealed! Mabilis kong nilibot ang mata

    EpilogueThings I didn't expect to happen. People I didn't expect that will come into my life, love I didn't expect to receive, and a woman I didn't expect that I will going to spend my whole life with. Unexpected things really do happen, na dati ay hindi ako naniniwala, pero simula ng dumating siya sa buhay ko lahat nagawa kong paniwalaan, lahat ng imposible ay naging posible para sa akin. I met her at the right time, and at the perfect place. "Dude, sino yang tinitingnan mo?" tanong ni Hans na lumapit sa akin at inabutan ako ng yosi. "Yung pinsan ni Clay," sagot ko ng hindi tinatanggal ang pagkakatingin sa kanya. I fell in love at first sight. I admit it. "Dude, punta ako sa bahay niyo mamaya," paalala ko kay Clay. "Sige dude."I got chance to finally meet her. Mas maganda pala siya sa malapitan. "Apakaarte," nakangising sabi ko habang nakatingin sa kanya. Umirap naman siya sa akin agad. "Apakaattitude."She makes face. I chuckled. She's cute. Finally, I got her attention.

    Sixty-nineHave you ever dealt with something you can't handle? Dealing with it, until you realize something won't be the same again. Maybe that's how it really works, that you can't hold everything, that there are things that you need to let go for you to hold yourself from falling apart. "Ate, you're drinking again?" Ella asked as soon as she saw me at the veranda. "I'm not drinking, I'm just unwinding," I plainly answered as I drink in one shot the beer in can I'm holding. I heaved a deep sigh as I stared blankly at the sky above us. Even the sky is freakingly not on my side, there's no stars, even the moon is hiding from me. It's been a week since I decided to get back. As soon as the gallery finished, I immediately booked a flight. Wala na akong rason pa para mag stay sa Pilipinas. Yes, I do have my family there and friends, but I don't think it's enough for me to stay. "New York is still the same," I muttered to myself as I pursed my lips and closed my eyes intently when a

    Sixty-eightI successfully park the car outside the Korean restaurant. Nauna akong lumabas sa kanya at naglakad papasok sa resto. I can't breathe with him by my side. His giving me feelings I tried to forget. Every time I stared at his eyes, akala ko okay na ako, but everything just turned upside down. My efforts just got wasted all of a sudden. Yes, I still like him... no, I still love him, but I freakingly know that we can't be together anymore. He already have Angel-eech. He turned his back at me again, while I'm still waiting for him to get me back. Sumuko na naman siya dahil lang sinabi ko sa kanya na everything is a mistake that night. Hindi ako maghahabol, dahil hindi iyon gawin ng magaganda. The foods I ordered just came, napatingin ako sa labas dahil hindi pa rin dumarating si Chaster. O freaking come on.Mariin kong naipikit ang mga mata ko. Tatayo na sana ako para puntahan siya ng bigla siyang pumasok. Pinanood ko siya habang nililibot ang mga mata niya sa kabuuan ng rest

    Sixty-seven"Ate, problem," bungad agad ni Ella sa akin pagkapasok na pagkapasok niya sa office ko. By the expression of her face and on how she reacts, I might say that it's really a problem. I put down the folder I'm holding, and took off my Bone Prone Optical Glasses of Chrome Hearts as I raised a brow at her."What?"She heaved a deep sigh as she place the folder she's holding to my table. My brows immediately furrowed when I saw what's in the folder. "I contacted the owner of the photo-art the other day, remember the owner of 'Sweet Dull Memories' na kasali sa exhibit next week. I did reached her —" "So? What's the catch? I told you to settle those arts rights?" "She suddenly said that she doesn't want her work to be displayed." I stared at her, trying to process what she just said. "A collector just contacted me and saw our pamphlet to our website, and she want that certain photo-arts personally."I massage my temple out of frustration all of a sudden. O freaking come on,

    Sixty-sixI've never been good of leaving things behind, because I'm always be the one who is being left behind, but despite of that I learned so many things, like finding out who's there for me, and never left when I needed someone the most. I learned to face everything without fear. I learned to forgive but I know I'll never forger everything. "Will you still keep someone that hurt you and cause you so much pain?" Pare-pareho nila akong nilingon ng magsalita ako"Oo naman," sagot agad ni Sunny na wala man lang pagdadalawang isip"No," firmed na sagot ni Vivi"Why not?" taas kilay na sagot ni Shantelle "What for?" simpeng sagot ni MilleThey have different point of views and thoughts. Maybe because, we have different experiences. We tend to still accept someone despite of hurting us, not because they're being martyr, but because they sitll love that someone. On the contrary, some people doesn't want to try it again, not because they're coward, but because they are too afraid to be

    Sixty-five"Chaster and I, are dating," she happily announced at the middle of the dinner. Napuno ng tanungan ang hapag kainan habang ako ay patuloy pa ring kumakain. Ramdam ko ang tingin sa akin ng mga pinsan ko pero hindi ko na lang ito pinansin. "What? You and Kuya Chaster are dating?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Ella. "Actually po, I didn't expect din po that he'll asked me out, kasi I'm still rooting him with Dashelle."I sneered. I couldn't stop myself to glare at her. Is she for real? O freaking come on. "Ya. Being hypocrite doesn't have cure," I mocked as I sip onto my wine. "If you really dating him, you freakingly don't need to drag my name out. Halatang nagpapabida ka na naman," dagdag ko. I don't know what's her deal. O freaking come on. So they're dating? Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kutsarang hawak ko. "I'm just saying lang naman," she fake a smile. My brows furrowed. "So? Do I need to care with your relationship?"What's wrong with this bitch? O geez. So she wante

    Sixty-four Last day na namin ngayon, maagang natapos ang convention dahil magkakaroon ng party mamayang gabi. Ella and I just spend our free time sleeping. Chaster is so persistent, he really never failed to annoys me. Ugh. Nagising ako ng tumunog ang phone ko. Half-sleep, I answered the call. "What?" tamad na tamad na tanong ko. Halos hindi ko pa maibukas ang mata ko dahil sa antok. (I love you—) Mas mabilis pa kay flash na inend ko ang call ng marinig ko kung sino ang tumawag. Binato ko sa kung saan ang phone ko. Narinig ko itong tumunog pero hinayaan ko na lang ito.Another way to pester me. He really knows his ways. "Saan ka pupunta, Ate? Akala ko ba hindi ka a-attend sa party?" tanong ni Ella na busy pa rin sa pag aayos niya para sa party. She'll going to attend the party. "Do I need to ask permission or report to you everything I do?" I asked with my brow archedHumaba naman agad ang nguso niya. Kinuha niya ang coat niya na nakapatong sa kama niya at sinuot ito.

    Sixty-three"Ate," tawag pansin sa akin ni Ella ng dinantay ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. "I'm so sleepy. The presentation is so boring," I said yawning. My eyes unintentionally closed, because I freakingly am so sleepy. I woke up early in the morning just to hear some boring presentations? O freaking come on. "Just wake me up when it's done," tamad na tamad na turan ko. Kinawit ko ang braso ko sa braso niya para mas maging komportable ako sa paghilig sa kanya. Hindi naman na siya nagreklamo. "Just go back to your hotel room if you're just going to sleep here."Nagpantig ang tenga ko dahil sa narinig ko, at tila nawala ang pagkakaantok ko. Taas kilay kong tinignan ang nagsalita, it's Chaster na nakaupo sa likuran ko, straight face at emotionless lang ang tingin niya sa akin na tumagal ng ilang segundo bago siya nag iwas nang tingin at tinuon ang atensyon sa harapan. "Conceited pathetic idiotic moronic sleazy freaking creature," sambit ko. Muli niya akong nilingon, ngayon ay ma

    Sixty-two "What do you want to talk about?" I asked with my brow furrowed as soon as I saw him sitting comfortably at the couch near the glass window of the restaurant. He smiled and wave his hand when he saw me. I just rolled my eyes. I placed my bag at the table and sat comfortably in front of him with my cross legs and arms. "Let’s eat first," he said instead answering my question. I flipped my hair beautifully with class. He started eating na as soon I sat down while me still busy showing my hates to him."Huwag mo kong masyadong titigan, baka mafall ka ulit sa akin." I chuckled sarcastically as I flipped my hair elegantly. "Excuse me? I'm not staring at you, it just happened that you're in front of me," I stated fiercely, baka isipin niya tinititigan ko talaga siya. "Fall my ass," I added. Doh? There's no hell way I do that. He chuckled as if he was so amaze on what I've said. "I'm just joking you don't need to be guilty." Agad nag salubong ang kilay ko dahil sa sinabi
