All Chapters of Perfect Harmony: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

What a coincidence. Maybe her girlfriend and I have the same size? The sales lady he just asked to assist him entered the same door where the lady who asked for my size entered earlier. I sat down on the couch, and he did, too, at the sofa across me. When he removed his cap and ran his fingers through his hair, I heard the gasps of the other staff behind the counter. Wearing a black polo shirt and maong pants paired with white shoes, he looks young, but I’m not sure. He sat and looked so manly in front of me. I pursued my lips, preventing myself from smiling as I saw how the female staff gushed over him. I get that he’s handsome, but how can they be head over heels over a stranger? Unless he’s a regular customer? He suddenly lifts his face, and our eyes met. He looked at me with strange eyes, so I raised my eyebrow at him and looked away. He might assume I am checking him. Boys nowadays are very unpredictable. The sales lady who assist

I stared blankly at the white wall. The silence is deafening. I sat here, lifeless, while everyone is praying and hoping that my parents will get through this. Even if it was unbearable to see, I looked back to see my parents. They're both lying on different beds with different machines attached to them. I could feel they're struggling. And it just pains me more to see them both there. Sara's not here. She couldn't even move when Uncle William fetch us earlier so we can rush here. She's too shocked to process everything right now. How ironic, right? She a nursing student, but she can’t even do something right now. Uncle Lucas is on his phone. He's been receiving endless phone calls since he got here. They're all asking about the accident and my parents' status. I bet those who called and will call do not really care about my parents. They’re just worried about the company being left alone because my family will consider this situation their to

"Wow. He’s really not joking. I thought I had at least a year or a couple of months," I said to myself as I read the newly published article about the Valmonte Group. It's all about the inauguration of Rueben as the CEO of Valmonte Developments and Designs. My father's absence caused fear among the board members that Uncle Lucas and Uncle William might not accept the responsibility because they are both busy with the other companies. I thought when we talked about this on the car, it was just a shallow or temporary problem of the company. Seeing that they accelerated everything to be done as soon as possible, maybe my father’s absence was a significant loss to the group. Rueben has been training for a year or two now, so I guess he has learned something from Dad and our Uncles. He's bound to take over, though, with or without the accident. He wanted to run the family's business, unlike Sara, who wants to enter the medical field and, of course, unlike me, who

Because of the tears, my eyesight started to blur. I couldn't see anything, so I use my hand to wipe off the tears, but I forgot that I threw that guy some dirt with my hands, so it eventually went inside my eyes that just added to the pain. I cried louder and wished that Rueben and my cousins would be here anytime, but I cannot reach for my phone because my eyes hurt so much. Someone held my arm from behind and made me faced him. "Stop running away from me," he whispered, and I knew it's him again. His hand was firm, holding me to stop me from doing anything impulsive again. "W-what's that?" I asked because I still cannot fully open my eyes. I felt and heard water. That's when I knew that it was bottled water he was holding. He made me form my hands into a position where he could pour the water there, and I can use it to wash off the dirt from my eyes. I washed my entire face, and bits of my hair in front got wet and. While I'm still

I received encouraging expressions, too, from my cousins, and I saw that they let Nami and the twins enter the room for them to watch me sing. When Aaron let go of my hand, I looked at him with pitiful eyes. I don't think I can perform in front of these rich and sophisticated persons. I walked towards Rueben to get my guitar from him. "You have to explain this when we got home," I warned him. "There are people here who knew someone in the music industry. I don't have to tell you to give your best. Just sing like you always do, Jael. Make it worth their stare," and then he smirked and left me alone on the stage. The lights went dim. I sat down on the stool at the center and placed my guita
