All Chapters of Filling The Abandoned Holes: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It's the usual day, I was adjusting the pedal when someone appeared on my side.  "Ready ka na para bukas?"  It was Prime. Hindi ko alam kung bakit lagi n'ya akong kinakausap kahit na madalas ay tipid na ngiti lamang ang sagot ko.  "Hindi ko alam, medyo kinakabahan," tugon ko rito bago s'ya balingan ng tingin. Bagsak ang balikat, mapungay ang mga mata at bahagya itong nakanguso kaya kahit pilit ay ngumiti ako sa kan'ya.  Did I just made him feel uneasy? But knowing Prime, hindi 'yon titigil hangga't hindi n'ya nakikita ang ngiti mo. And just like what he usually does, there it comes to his hands doing strokes on his brown curly hair. "Sure ako na magiging maganda ang performance natin bukas! Syempre andito ako," he cheered me up with an instant wink. Napairap ako. Oo na, magaling ka na. Pero mins

It feels like a dream. Never kong in-expect na magugustuhan n'ya ako dahil never din namang naging maganda ang trato ko sa kanya. Either I'll be a sarcastic bitch or a quiet one when he's talking to me. Sobrang hindi lang kapani-paniwala lalo na kapag inaalala ko ang mga nangyari noon. I noticed the gradual movement of the drumsticks on my hand as he walked towards my direction. Wala akong ibang naiisip noong mga oras na 'yon kung hindi ang paraan kung paano n'ya ako tingnan. Anong… gagawin ko? The tremor got even worsen when he's finally a few inches away. Why am I being like this?  "Gail..." His eyes, they are so beautiful. I think it's the most innocent and beautiful pearls I've ever laid my eyes upon. It's captivating in such a way that you won't have any choices on what he asks you but say yes. "Please, gusto kong ligawan ka…" And when I nodded with that, without further

 Days flew fast. Nagsimula na akong magtrabaho sa shop tulad ng napagkasunduan. Madali kaming nagkapalagayan ng loob ng mga katrabaho ko dahil na rin siguro halos malapit lang ang edad ko sa edad nila. Natunugan kong Civil Engineering din ang kinukuha ni Mel kaya nagtanong-tanong ako sa proseso ng pagsi-shift sa department nila. Ang sabi n'ya ay madali lang naman daw. 'Wag daw akong mag-alala dahil tutulungan n'ya ako.  Sinagot ko lang s'ya ng maliit na ngiti. I don't wanna be indebted to someone I just met. Kaya hindi nakapagtatakang hindi ko maiwasang kabahan.  "Gail, paki-assist naman 'yung customer sa table 8."  Natigilan ako nang marinig si Ate Ria. Nadatnan ko 'tong nagsasalin ng drinks sa lalagyan nang marating ko ang counter. "Ikaw na ang bahala ha? I-seserve ko lang 'to!" narinig ko pang sabi n'ya bago ito mag

On our way to where he'll be taking me, I heard him humming a song. At parang nananadya nga talaga ang panahon dahil hindi ko maiwasang sumimangot nang malaman kung anong kanta 'yon. It was Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Pakiramdam ko ay nalukot muli ang mukha kong kanina ay maaliwalas. The song just merely reminds me I can't go to their concert. And it sucks. But instead of keeping the same face, I thought of possibilities where he'll take me. At least, I need to. Lunti is the first place that crossed my mind. Doon naman kasi talaga kami madalas tumambay. But as we approach closer, I can tell he's taking me somewhere I'm not familiar with. Ang daan na ito ay taliwas sa lagi naming tinatahak. We went over a bridge surrounded by trees bago kami makarating muli sa lugar na may mga buildings. It wasn't long before when we ended up staring at an enormous sculpted door. Sa kalakihan ay

What happened was a bit far from what I’ve expected.After the encounter at the restaurant, he never felt at ease. Prime has been looking around as if he’s trying to spot some criminals who are after us. He seemed to be thinking deeply. And I don’t have the guts to ask him what’s going on. There I was, just staring at his physique.The concert, it was far from what I’ve foreseen. Maingay ang crowd pero na nangingibabaw ang malakas na tibok ng puso ko. My anxiety hit my core once again. Maging si Prime ay hindi masyadong ngumingiti na madalas naman niyang ginagawa kapag magkasama kami. Actually, I know I have the chance to ask him, but I think that matter is too personal.Even after the concert, we never got the chance to talk. Wala na rin siguro akong balak itanong ang tungkol doon, ayokong manghimasok sa personal n'yang buhay. Ayos na ako sa kung ano man ang mga bagay na ipinapaalam n'ya sa akin. The next day, I starte
