Forty-fourFein is right, hindi ito masosolve if I'll keep acting bitter. I shouldn't be mad at him kasi he did lang naman what he need to do that time, even if it's too painful to bear. But I can take it out to my system because my love for him is more than enough to trust him. This is how love works. Mag aaway then okay na naman. That's normal. Those days that I treated him coldly proves me that whatever happens, at the end of the day he still the one for me.I'm freaking Moon Dashelle, but I freakingly am crazy over the guy whom I want to share my future and days with. Days has passed, we still the same. We became more mature to think of some possibilities. Minsan nag aaway pa rin kami, but we immediately talk about it then okay na naman ako. All things that bothers us ay pinag uusapan namin, gaano man kaliit o kalaki iyan. We set aside our pride and ego, because that's not important, what matter to us both is we have each other at the end of the day. "Love, can I buy this?" I
Forty-five"Hi Ate," nakangiting bati sa akin ni René ang nakababatang kapatid ni Chas, lumapit siya sa akin at bigla pa akong niyakap. I just do the same. What are they doing here? "Where's Ren? Are you two living together?" she asked bitchly as she roamed her eyes everywhere before she raised a brow at me. "This place isn't as messy as before," she addedI raised a brow. "You are not as ugly as before," I mocked.And doh? Hindi ako pinalaking maganda para maglinis, kaya nga may maids to do their jobs di ba? So freaking annoying! She rolled her eyes. Doh? She thinks it's bagay to her? This sister of Chas is really getting onto my nerves. "Ate Rion, stop being a witch," René interfered. "Anyway Ate Dash, we're just here to visit Kuya kasi he is not always visiting us at home," she said with a smile on her face.Rion sat down comfortably at the sofa, still acting like a bitch. "Can't you get us at least drinks or water? Like what's your role here?" she asked impatiently when I sat
Forty-six"Even Chas?"I closed my fists and heaved a deep sigh.I stared at the last photo that being sent to me. It's Chas and Angel-eech last night. They're together last night. I somewhat feel betrayed inside me. Walang sinabi si Chas tungkol dito, na magkasama sila sa dinner, o well I didn't ask din naman, but.... It somehow pains me. Annoying! I have tons of questions na tuloy sa isip ko. I trust him. I really do. But I don't trust this Angel-eech. She really knows how to bitch around with Chas. "Chas will probably have a reason," I said unsure. O yeah. Probably he has. "So, what's your plan?" she asked. Parehong kaming nakaharap sa salamin. She's fixing her hair and make up. She looks awfully hideous kahit na she is wearing make up. "Just what I said. I'll make them pay for everything," I said firmly. I just need to know who the freaking girl is, but I can't seem to recognize her face. It's blurry and hindi gaanong nakikita ang face. O freaking geez! "Why do your dad ba
Forty-seven"Love, here," tinapik ko ang bed ko para umupo siya sa tabi ko. Nanatili lang naman siyang nakatayo habang tahimik na pinagmamasdan ang loob ng room ko. I secretly smiled. "Love," I called him once more.He looks bothered when he stared back at me. Kanina pa siya hindi mapakali. He keep scratching the back of his head and biting his lips. Tumayo ako at nilapitan siya. Natawa naman ako nang bigla siyang lumayo sa akin ng akma ko siyang yayakapin."What's with you?" I asked laughing. I wrapped my arms around his nape. He hold my waists. I smiled dearly to him as I gave him a peck on the lips. He groaned when I deepen the kiss. "Love, we're at your place," he softly said when our lips parted. I hold his hand. "So?" I asked with my brow arched. "We're not doing anything naman that can kill someone," I added. I wrapped my arms around his waists too. We're now likely hugging each other. "But Love—," "Okay. Let's eat then," I cut him off. "Food," I continued when he sudde
Forty-eight"Love, the exam is so easy," nakangiting pagkukwento ko sa kanya over the phone. "I think I'll get a perfect score," pagyayabang ko. I heard him laughed on the other line. I really freakingly miss him so much. "I miss you, Love," I said trying to sound cool, but inside me is freakingly sad. (I misses you more, Love. Days without you suffocates me. I wish you're here right now para mawala agad ang pagod ko.) Mas lalo ko tuloy siyang namiss nang marinig ko ang boses niya. It's been days since he left, but still he didn't able to forget to call me each days. "What are you doing right now, Love?" (Nakahiga habang iniisip ka, Love.) Mas lalong lumawak ang pagkakangiti ko na halos umabot na sa tenga ko. Kahit malayo siya ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya nabibigo na gawing baliw ang puso. It's crazily beating so fast. "Psh. Stop making my heart flutter, Love. You're giving me heart attack. May exam pa ako mamaya," pagbibiro ko.Natawa na lang kami sa sari-sarili naming jokes.
Forty-nineSaglit niya akong tinapunan ng tingin bago muling binalingan si Dad na mukhang wala lang ang ginawa ni Lolo sa kanya. Mabilis na humarang sa akin ang mga pinsan ko nang lumapit sa akin ang mga bodyguards ni Lolo. "Papa, I'm her father and I have all the rights to discipline her. Alam niyo ho ba ang ginawa niya ngayong kahihiyan?! She cheated! She stole the answer key for pete's sake!"Without even asking me, they already believed it. "Did you already ask her what happened? Sinabi ba niyang ginawa niya iyon? Hindi magagawa ng apo ko ang sinasabi mo, dahil hindi pinalaki ng mali nang anak ko ang apo ko! At sa ayaw at sa gusto ng pamilyang ito! Kukunin ko ang apo ko, magkamatayan man tayo!" Mas lalong humigpit ang hawak ni Clay sa kamay ko. Ang mga pinsan ko ay handang handa nang makipagpatayan sa mga naglalakihang bodyguards ni Lolo. "Papa, hindi mo pwedeng kunin ang batang iyan—." "Ni hindi mo siya kayang tawaging anak, tapos sasabihin mo sa akin na ikaw ang ama niya?!
Fifty."Leave," I said coldly. "Miss Dashelle, kailangan niyo raw pong kumain sabi ng lolo niyo." I glared at her, she immediately put the tray on the table and leave hurriedly. I didn't bother to move, and just stay on my pace, sitting like a kid at the cold floor while hugging my knees together. It seems like I'm a lost girl in the darkness. Since that day happened, I decided to left home and come to Lolo. I'm afraid that If I stay there, I will lost myself. My life was covered of betrayals, lies, pain, dark past.... I couldn't bear it. It's so painful. All of the people I trusted, that I think will never lie to me, they all betrayed me. My cousins that I treated my backup turns out my own opponents, they all bunches of liars, because they knew it all along, that the family that Dad brought home is the family they all protected because they are afraid that I might discover it. They all lie. I feel like living in a nightmare without any escape. My mind is freakingly killing me wi
Fifty-oneI left her office at ease. Hindi nawala ang tinginan sa akin ng mga estudyante. Lahat ay nagtatanong at puno ng pangkukutya. Ang iba ay nagbubulungan na para bang kinaganda nila ang ipinapakita nila sa akin ngayon. I flipped my hair beautifully and with class showing them my earings cost almost a million and walk confidently like a pro model flexing my expensive clothes, bag, and boots. "Ya Hussy— O geez!" she quirked when my bodyguards blocked her. "Ya building blocks just wanna remind you, I'm one of those people who she keep pestering when she ran home," she said so sure as she rolled her eyes. Bahagya nila akong tinignan, sinenyasan ko lang sila kaya agad silang umalis sa harap ni Hoochie na umuusok na ang ilong sa galit. "What do you want?" I asked impatiently "Let's talk," she said seriously looking at me intently. "Then talk.""Privately," she said and started to walk. I raised a brow."Wait me in the car," I said ordering the two who immediately followed me.
