Like I care, I tsked. "I don't care Jason! Shut up will you? You're annoying, " I said as I rolled my eyes, I look at him his eyes are pleading.

September Love Affair/AtengAmnesia

Here I am, listening to my mother. Her sermons and advices about me still being single at the age of twenty seven. I want to roll my eyes but heck this will never end if I go bratty on her. She called me after she heard that I rejected Jason. I groaned and look at my Dad he was now busy smiling and rubbing my mother's back trying to calm her down but him looking like that doesn't look convincing to me instead of making her stop it looks like he was encouraging her to talk more! "Mama, " I said and sighed trying to calm down, I wanted to roll my eyes and walk out but not this time. Her being furious and hysterical was not a good combination definitely not a good timing to ignore her sermons. "Don't Mama me September! My God! You're already twenty seven years old, still no boyfriend!" she spatted, I glared at Papa who were now chuckling at Mama like he found this entertaining to watched.

September Love Affair/AtengAmnesia

Have you ever experienced this kind of feeling? Like something or rather someone is making you feel secured and safe. They say that love is not about the butterflies that you feel in your stomach but rather the feeling of warmth and safe, the feeling of giving something without expecting in return. Agad akong umiling at pinipilit na iwala sa isipan ko ang ideyang 'yun. I keep on asking Mama and Papa how they survived, their love for each other is overflowing but not possessive. The kind of love I want to have someday even after what happened, I sighed and tried to calm myself at that thought. Kinapa ko ang kwentas ko at pumikit. If I could only turn back time. Mama said. "You can't love someone without loving yourself first, without healing all the wounds, and forgiving yourself as well as the people who wronged you, betrayed you." I can't understa

Nakarinig kami ng bosena ng sasakyan at pagbukas ng gate, naglakad ako papunta pinto and from where I standband I saw my father with someone. Agad na napakunot ang noo ko. Namilog ang mata ko, nakita ko itong nakasunod kay Papa at ngumiti sa mga kasambahay na nakahilera papuntang pinto. Tumikhim ako at pinawala ang pagkagulat, sinalubong ni Mama si Papa at hinalikan ito sa pisngi, agad naman akong lumapit kay Papa at humalik narin sa pisngi niya. Napataas ang kilay ko at tinignan siya, nakita ko namang umangat ang gilid ng labi niya may ngiti na pilit na tinatago. I smirked as I look at him and he grinned. Dahan dahan akong naglakad at sumunod na kina Mama at Papa while he were beside me following my lead t

Why is he infront of me? Am I in trouble? "Yes?" sagot ko rito. He smiled at me and I blushed. He looks charming yet he has this bad boy look that girls my age would die to date.

Confused I nodded and look away obviously too shocked in his question. "Why?" I whispered. Fighting myself to gave in and just say yes to him. I gulped, not having eye contact with him, afraid that might read what I am thinking. "Ah, " sagot niya naman while he massaged his neck and nervously smiled. "Invite s

Days passed like a blur and everything seems fine, like the usual routine I always do after school if not hanging out with friends is going home early and talking with my family and I always admired the way we usually do if all of us are not busy. I sighed as I looked at my phone, I was sitting alone reading some books for the test next week when I heard some footsteps approaching my table. "Hi!" Lorence beamed at me as he sat down on the chair in front of me. I looked at him and saw him carrying books too. He placed the books on the table and stared at me, I awkwardly smiled at him. "Hello?" I said, sounding awkward. I want to slap my face, why did it sound like a question? Ugh!"How are you?" He asked with a smile on his face as he place his hands on his chin and leaned on the table staring at me, it made me flushed. Tumikhim ako at umayos ng upo. "I'm fine, you

Tinignan ko ang orasan at napabuntong hininga, agad na akong kumilos para matapos agad sa paghahanda. Madami mang tanong sa aking isipan ay pinagpaliban ko muna iyon at hinayaan muna. Agad akong naligo at pumili ng susuotin ko para sa lakad namin ni Lorence, he said it's a date so I tried to look simple yet chic. Agad kong sinuot ang isang itim leggings at isang croptop na puti at sapatos na puti pagkatapos ang isang sapatos na itim.

Napangiti ako ng tignan ang aking repleksyon sa salamin, ng kuntento na ako ay agad akong bumaba sa sala namin. Yaya approach me and told me that Lorence is already outside talking to my mother. Agad kong

I got worried because of two reasons. One is Mama never fan of text messages, she would always call lalo na kapag importante and two is what is the problem? I finished doing my project. It's past twelve am when I heard a car engine. Agad kong sinira ang librong binabasa ko at naglakad papuntang bintana, hinawi ko ang kurtina ko at nakita ko sina Mama at Papa na papasok na ng bahay. Agad kong naglakad pababa para salubungin sila. "Ma, Pa," Tawag ko sa kanila ng nasa ibaba na ako. Napaangat ang tingin sa akin ni Mama at Papa. "Hija," Mama said, she smiled at me but it didn't reach her eyes. Agad akong lumapit sa kanya at humalik sa pisngi niya at pagkatapos kay Papa. I noticed how the looks of his face, it's problematic and maybe tired.
