2021-10-07 13:26:05NAKAPANGALUMBABA AKO SA armchair ko habang nakatingin sa board sa harap kahit wala naman doon ang isip ko at lumilipad lang.
Deon was surprisingly snob and withdrawn today. I don't know what to feel. Magbubunyi ba akong sa wakas ay tumigil na siya o ano. Pero as someone na lagi niyang kinukulot ay legit na nakakapanibago iyong kinikilos niya ngayon. Baka may pinagdadaanan itong isang ito ngayong araw. Sana naman ay hindi maapektuhan nito ang activity namin sa PE today lalo na at partners pa naman kami. Ang hirap kayang paganahin ang teamwork kung mukhang wala sa sarili iyong kaparehas mo. Sana lang talaga ay umayos siya mamaya. Pati ako ay madadamay sa kanya, e.
We were told to wear our PE uniforms because we will be having the activity today. Dinala kami ng PE teacher namin sa field kung saan iyon gaganapin. Pagdating namin doon ay naroon din ang ibang sekyon, particularly ang section ng girlfriend ni Deon.

NAKATINGIN LANG AKO kay Deon na hindi naman mabaling-baling ang atensyon sa akin kahit na magkatapat lang kami. We were partners again for an activity. Natiyempuhan ulit na napili kami bilang magkagrupo. Our teacher asked us to go to our pairs respectively.Pinalipat ako ni Felix sa pwesto niya dahil siya na naman daw muna ang tatabi sa pinsan ko. Nanggigigil na tumayo ako sa upuan ko at nagmartsa na palapit sa kay Deon na halatang iwas pa rin sa akin. Ano bang problema ng isang ito ha? Konting-konti na lang talaga at masasapak ko siya, e. Ang arte! Kung may problema siya sa akin ay bakit hindi na lang niya ako prangkahin?Pinagharap namin ang mga upuan namin. When I sat back, I crossed my legs in a sophisticated way. I loved sharing my OOTDs, just so you know, I was sporting a terno yellow and white gingham plaid tweed bishop sleeves jacket and skirt over its matching cropped spaghetti strap top. Naka-knee socks din ako and white Gucci sneakers. I was

GET LOST.Pagkatapos kong sabihin iyon ay napatulala lang sa akin si Deon. However, I noticed how conflicted his eyes were. This was easier for us both. Ayaw niya naman pala sa akin kaya bakit ko pa ipagpipilitan ang sarili ko sa kanya? I don’t like being friends with the likes of him. Iyon bang they cannot be themselves when they were around me simply because they always thought and believed that I was way out of their league.He licked his lips, slightly lowered his head, and frowned. I couldn’t help but frowned as well as I continued watching him. It seemed like it was his way of contemplating about something. Very funny because despite hiding in his strong façade, his soft qualities inside would always surface. Unlike me, he just couldn’t conceal them. He was not good at it no matter how hard he tried. Pretending was simply not built for him. It was not his strongest suit.Hindi nagtagal ay muli siyang nag-angat ng t

BEFORE DEALING WITH Deon, I have to deal with Felix first. Dapat ko munang iganti ang pinsan ko. It was Saturday afternoon and since Chadleen and I had nothing to do, I have asked her to take me to Felix’s place so I could punch him on his goddamn face.Hinatak ko si Chadleen ng umagang iyon papunta sa address nina Felix. They were living on the beachside. Medyo na-distract ako sa ganda ng lugar. I didn’t know that such place actually exists in this province – white sand beach with crystal clear waters plus the cool breeze. Sobrang ganda talaga pero dapat galit ako at hindi namamangha ngayon.“Insan, nakakahiya sa pamilya ni Felix. Huwag na tayong tumuloy…” pigil pa ni Chadleen sa akin kahit na hatak ko na siya.“At dapat din siyang mahiya sa’yo!”“Hindi naman kasi gano’n. Hay… bakit ba ang hirap ipaliwanag ng sitwasyon…”Kagabi pa siya ganito. I

THE GUYS SENT us home. Sumakay kami ni Chadleen sa pickup ng Lolo Riggs ni Felix. Hiniram niya muna kasi bukod sa aming dalawa ng pinsan ko ay ihahatid niya rin si Deon sa kanila. Siyempre ay sa front seat niya pinaupo si Chadleen kaya kaming dalawa naman ni Deon ngayon ang magkatabi sa may back seat. Tahimik kami pero hindi iyong tipong awkward dahil sa totoo lang ay komportable ako ngayon sa tabi niya.Ang tanging maingay lang sa loob ng sasakyan namin ngayon ay si Felix at ang pinapatugtog niyang pamilyar na kanta sa stereo. I gathered my courage to face Deon beside me to tell him, “Thank you.”“Salamat nga pala—”We both stopped because we said those same words in chorus. Sabay din kaming nag-iwas ng tingin at bumaling sa kanya-kanyang mga banda namin hanggang sa hindi nagtagal ay narinig ko siyang marahang napahalakhak sa pwesto niya. Naiiling na napangiti naman ako at muli siyang binalingan. I loved how genuin

TAHIMIK LANG KAMI ni Deon habang binabaybay namin ang daan papuntang kabilang canteen. I just took him with me after he bid his farewell to Richelle. Napaamang tuloy iyong huli habang nagsisimula na kaming maglakad palayo sa kanya. I felt guilty for using Deon but not bad for taking him away from Richelle. She was already acting possessive over him, and I do not like what I was seeing.Bumagal ang paglalakad ko nang matanto kong hindi rin naman makabubuti ang intensyon ko kay Deon. Nilukob ako ng pagsisisi ng mga sandaling iyon pero kailangan kong panindigan ang desisyon at hakbang na ginawa ko. Alam na alam kong pagsisisihan ko ito balang araw. I often watched this kind of drama on television, but it never occurred to me that it will happen to me also.“I’m sorry…” usal ko nang kaming dalawa na lamang at malayo na sa kaninuman.“Para saan?”“Magre-review kasi sana kayo ni Richelle. Naistorbo ko

IT WAS HARD to shun away persistent people in your life and to stop destiny from working just so you two would not become too close. Habang tumatagal ay lalo kaming nagiging mas malapit sa isa’t isa ni Deon. Nakabuntot din kasi ako sa kanya lagi dahil sa kasunduan namin ni Ruby Lane. Pero kung minsan ay sumusulpot din naman siya sa mga sandaling hindi ko inaasahan o kung kailangan ko nang makakasama pero wala si Chadleen. In those times, I found out that Deon was more than his pretty face. He was not the type of man I initially assumed him to be. He was not just a good catch but a great one – maalalahanin, maasikaso, matulungin, at mabait. I never had an ideal guy but when I met and got to know him more, I pictured it to be him.“The hell…” sambit ko nang matanto ko kung ano ang mga iniisip ko.I sound as if I like him, and I find it totally absurd! Binagsak ko ang likod ko sa malabot kong pink Chanel bed at saka tumitig

I PASSED RUBY Lane’s test, that’s why she did not bother me for the following weeks. I felt guilty for using Deon, but I was also honestly happy being with him that I really think… “Pagod ka na ba?” he asked when he came back to me in the bleachers after their training. He was sweaty but he did not smell bad. Akala ko ay imposibleng mangyari iyon pero may mga tao pala talagang hindi maamoy kahit na pawisan. Maybe because they were used to working out a lot. Kumikinang iyong kayumanggi niyang balat ngayon habang tinatamaan nang halos papalubog nang sikat ng araw. I could not deny that I loved it. That feature really suited him and had added more to his appeal. “Baleleng?” he called me again to take me out of my musings. “Ha?” “Pagod ka na ba?” nag-aalalang tanong niya. Mabilis naman akong umiling. Chadleen was not with me today. She was noticeably busy these days. Kahit si Felix ay habol na rin nang habol sa kanya dahil

WEARING MY POWDER blue off-shoulder top that was neatly tucked in my high-waist denim midi skirt with a small slit and a pair of white Gucci sneakers, Chadleen and I graced the hall of our state college. I side-twisted my half-ponytailed hair and carried with me my white YSL chain sling shoulder bag. As usual, all attention was fixed on me. What’s new, anyway?“Chadleen, pwede ba tayong mag-usap?”Hindi pa kami nakakapasok ni Chadleen sa classroom namin ay mukhang inaabangan na siya ni Felix na noong una ay nakasandal lamang sa pader sa labas ng classroom namin at halukipkip. Nabuwag lamang iyon nang matanaw niya kaming papalapit saka umayos din siya nang tayo. He looked stressed and tired as I observed. I glanced at my cousin. She seemed serious as she slowly nodded her head. May problema ba ‘tong dalawang ‘to?“Mag-uusap lang kami ni Felix, insan,” paalam niya sa akin.“I will just go to t

Witchita's Guide to Successful Parenting Sneak Peek of Witchita Series #2
Rich Witchita Problems . . . . . Witchitan. a special kind of witches who hailed from the Beast Republic and who can wield both black and white magic with their male members as the ones conceiving their offspring. (Witchita Series #2) Being born in a supreme and wealthy Witchita clan, life had not been easy for Rosendo Stefan Cavendish. It always came with a price in the form of numerous problems. Ever since he was young, he had been through countless kidnappings, hostage-takings, and scams which he was able to survive through his magic. His bigger problem arrived in the human form of his best friend, Ruby Lane Acosta, with who he had fallen deeply in love since they were seven years old. The thing was, Ruby Lane did not seem to heed his feelings even after all the years. Instead, she kept pushing him away. His biggest problem happened when he got pregnant with her and foun

Ciao! This is the special chapter. Thank you so much for being with me in this long journey, and see you on our next one, on the second Witchita installment – the Rich Witchita Problems. Warning: This chapter may contain scenes not suitable for readers aged eighteen and below. Reader discretion is advised. TODAY WAS MIRACLE’S second birthday and mine and Deon’s first wedding anniversary. Sinadya talaga naming isabay sa birthday ni Miracle ang kasal namin noon para mangyari ito – isang double celebration. However, Deon and I felt really exhausted with our daily routine, papasok kami sa kolehiyo nang salit-salitan tapos aalagaan namin si Miracle at gagawa pa ng mga gawaig-bahay. Ayaw niya pa rin kasing kumuha ng makakatulong sa amin sa pag-aalaga kay Miracle dahil gusto niyang maging hands-on kami sa pagpapalaki sa anak namin. I let him because I feel like he was doing this to project the things he wa
Witchita's Guide to Successful Parenting The Back Matter
Hello, Charmings! 🤗 This will be the end of a guide called the back matter, or simply the epilogue. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude that you have come with me this far. I will forever treasure all the gems, reviews, comments, and coins that you have shared with me. Writing Witchita’s Guide to Successful Parenting has always been one of my greatest dreams – a witch’s story that would undertone a deeper theme which was about sex and gender roles. Now, I am glad to announce that the story of this Witchita Family will not end here. We will still have 3 or more tales under the Witchita Series. We will have Ross and Ruby Lane’s story, Chadleen and Felix, and Mignonette and her ringmaster love interest (yes, a carnival theme story). Without your support, I would not have also reached this far. I certainly owe you a lot, and I will promise to make more and improve in each st

DUMATING NA SINA Chadleen at Felix dito sa dating bahay namin sa Sidero. I called them to enlist their help in freeing Deon’s whole pack from Igor and Vicenzo. “Natawagan mo na ba sina tito?” nag-aalalang tanong niya agad sa akin pagkatapos niya akong yakapin. “Oo, natawagan ko na sila. We need their help, too. Nagulat sila at nagalit but then when I told them na balak gamitin ng mga Nodram mula sa South Region ang pack nina Tito Leon upang sakupin ang buong Abseiles ay pumayag naman sila agad. Actually, they’re already on their way here.” “Sinong kasama nila?” “Mommy said it will only be daddy, Kuya Will, and Tito Khalil.” “Si Miracle?” she asked after looking around. “Did you make sure that they are in a safe place?” Tumango naman ako upang siguraduhin iyon sa kanya. “Nasa kina Ross sila kasama nina Tita Dimples at Kidlat.” Sunod ko namang binalingan ang kapatid niyang si Ruby Lane na tahimik lang habang mata

WE WENT IMMEDIATELY to the Cavendish Palace. Pagdating namin ay agad kaming iginiya ni Ruby Lane sa parang meeting hall ng lugar. Ross was still attending to the kids kaya hindi agad namin siya nakita o nakausap man lang. Dumiretso lang kaming lahat dito. Inihiga ni Deon ang wala pa ring malay na si Tito Leon sa upholstered couch na nasa tabi.“Manang, pwede pong pakitawag si mama rito?” magalang na utos ni Ruby Lane sa katulong na umalalay sa amin papasok dito. “Pakisabi na rin po sa kanyang dalhin po iyong mga niluto niya kasi kailangan na po namin dito.”Naalala kong kaya palang magpagaling ng mga pagkaing nagagawa ni Tita Dimples. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang mapapatitig sa kalmadong si Ruby Lane habang nagbibigay ng iba pang mga panuto sa empleyado. She was calm and really… smart. Pulidong-pulido iyong plano niya and not a slightest sight of panic can be observed from her. Sobrang talino ni Chadleen but she would sometim

OUR TALK WENT on where we found out more about the past of the Acosta Family that can be traced back to us and also to what happened to Deon’s pack.“I-I am sorry…” pausal na paghingi ng paumanhin ni Tupe sa akin habang nakayuko pa rin ang ulo niya.Thinking about the things that happened in the past, I suddenly realized that Tupe scared the hell out of me and yet… he never hurt me. Looking at him now, I understood why. He might look terrifying but he was never the type who will hurt anyone. Nakayuko lang iyong ulo niya na para bang nahihiya akong tingnan sa mga mata ko kahit na hindi naman niya ako talagang nakikita. Tama nga si Tita Dimples. She did not raise her children to become violent and evil. Tupe seemed more like a gentle giant to me. Mukhang napilitan lang talaga siya noon…Tinanguan ko siya at sinabihang, “Naiintindihan ko na ang lahat ngayon. You have my forgiveness.”Dahan-d

RUBY LANE HAD taken us to her family home. Gusto pa sanang sumama ni Ross sa amin pero pinagbawalan na siya ni Ruby Lane. To make him really stay, she told him to take good care of Miracle while we were away. Hindi naman na umangal pa si Ross at pumayag na lamang na manatili roon. Hindi na rin kami nagpahatid pa sa drayber niya dahil iyong sasakyan na nirentahan na lamang namin ni Deon ang ginamit namin papunta kina Ruby Lane.When we reached her place, we found her abode to be simple yet seemingly bright and alive. There were different sorts of plants in their yards which ran a gamut from flowering to non-flowering and from big to small. The plants beautifully matched and ornamented their house’s white wall with brown outlines for doors and windows that were made from wood. It gave a certain type of peace and familiarity. Iyon bang kahit na hindi magara ay naroroon iyong tunay na kayamanan sa loob, sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya nila.“I lik

RAMDAM NA RAMDAM ko ang bigat at tensyon sa pagitan nina Deon at ng Beta ng pack nila na si Igor. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay siya rin ang tatay ni Richelle. Ngayon ay alam ko na kung saan nagmana ang isang iyon.“Nasaan si papa?” mahinahon ngunit madiing tanong ni Deon kay Igor.He looked calm and serious, but it was the kind of calm before the raging storm. His fists were also clenched and the veins in his forearms were now visible. I know that he was trying so hard to control his anger. Halatang-halata iyon sa kulay pula na niyang mga mata. Pinipigilan niya lang talaga ang sariling sumugod agad. I hugged Miracle more. Hindi ko hahayaang may mangyari sa kanilang dalawa.“Inilagay ko lang naman niya sa dapat niyang kalagyan,” nakangising tugon ng Beta, iniinis at pilit na pinipigtas ang natitirang pagpipigil ni Deon.“Uulitin ko… nasaan si papa?”I had also observed that some men who we

NAGPAALAM NA KAMI sa parents ko tungkol sa plano namin ni Deon na pag-uwi sa kanila sa Sidero at ang pagsama rin namin kay Miracle roon. Of course, they disagreed. Ilang araw ko rin silang kinulit na payagan na lang kami. Mahaba-habang kumbinsihan ang naganap. I kept assuring them that I can now control my chi and Deon had already unlocked his Alpha potentials. If there will be emergencies, we can surely fight and protect Miracle and ourselves. At the end, they still did not agree.“Hindi ko maintindihan, Chad. Hanggang ngayon ba naman ay hindi pa rin nila ako pinagkakatiwalaan?” tanong ko sa pinsan kong tahimik na nagtutupi ng mga bagong labang damit ni Miracle.It was Deon who washed them, by the way. Ako lang talaga ang nagligpit dahil nga may pasok pa siya sa University of Portofino. Hindi ko rin naman natapos sa pagtutupi dahil umiyak si Miracle at nanghihingi ng gatas kaya pinapadede ko na muna siya ngayon habang nakatayo ako at marah
