  "So we just stop? Because we're hurting? That's not how we do it. We fight but we make up. We get tired but we rest and not quit. We hurt each other but we forgive and repent." Umiling ako. "I'm sorry. I'm not as strong as you," sabi ko sa mahinang boses. I'm just so worn out. "I still have a lot to say. Won't you at least listen to me?" he asked with tears threatening to fall from his eyes. He rarely cries. Why are you crying now, huh? "Won't you at least respect my decision?" I fired back. "You ruined me. What am I supposed to feel? Happy? Because you broke my heart and my trust? There's just no going back on this one," I said with finality. I snapped. I thought I could keep my composure despite the pain. Hindi ko pala kayang gawin. My breathing slow

Request "Yeah, okay. But damn, man. I can imagine you right now," Inigo said.The suppressed laugh is very evident in his voice. Mukha namang nainis ang nasa kabilang linya dahil mas lalo pa siyang natawa. Hindi na siya sumagot pa at ibinaba na ang tawag."Daan muna tayo sa Southbank." Sinulyapan niya ako na nasa front seat at si Agatha na nasa backseat. Tinanguan ko siya."Why? Bibili ka ng inumin?" Agatha asked."I'm going to pick up some lost dog," he chuckled."Oh... Better be fast, though. Thirty minutes na lang before next class."Iniliko ni Inigo sa tamang daan ang sasakyan para makapunta sa cafe.

Step up Uh... what? Is this the same guy from a while ago? For sure, Gia! Halos batukan ko ang sarili ko. The name has Javier and Uvero on it – which is the same as Inigo's surname. So, he's that guy, right? It's a no brainer. At paano naman nito nalaman ang buong pangalan ko na ginagamit ko sa Facebook? I only said my nickname.I clicked his display photo to view his profile and wow, he's famous. Thousands of followers but only a few friends. Around 400 lang. I was contemplating on whether I should accept him or not when Agatha came."Girl, I think I'm gonna die," aniya sabay salampak sa upuan."Why?" tanong ko sabay close tab ng F

Chapter 03

Reply Apparently, Kuya Van knew right away that Javier and I became friends on Facebook. How did he know? That, I have no idea of. Seriously, if it came from Inigo, I will conclude na chismoso rin talaga ang mga lalaki. And it's not like it's much of a big deal. Pinagbabawalan lang talaga ako ni Kuya na tumanggap ng friend requests galing sa mga lalaki. E hindi ko naman talaga 'yon pinapansin kasi hindi ko naman mga kilala. I just accepted Javier's request because I kinda knew him.It has been three days since at mabuti na lang hindi naman masyado nagtanong pa ang parents ko tungkol doon. Ang OA lang talaga ni Kuya. Even Aspen argued that it's very much normal to have friends on Facebook.It's Saturday so I'm at home. I woke up late because I stayed up last night finishing a drama series. I'm just grateful na wala ako masya

Canceled Nagising ako sa malakas na katok sa pinto ng kwarto ko kaya napabangon ako. My clock reads six in the morning. Ang aga pa. Mamayang hapon pa ang klase ko.Pinagbuksan ko ang kung sino man na kumakatok at nakita na si Mommy iyon. "Good morning, Mom. Ano po 'yon?" tanong ko habang inaayos ang magulong buhok. Nilakihan ko ang pagbubukas ng pinto para makapasok si Mommy. Napansin ko rin na nakabihis na siya."Morning, sweetie..." aniya at hinalikan ako sa pisngi. "May out of town site visit kami ng Dad mo. Ang driver ni Aspen ang magma-maneho para sa amin at kasama na rin 'yong driver mo para may kapalit naman siya. Pwede bang ikaw na muna ang maghatid sa kapatid mo? Tulog na tulog pa si Van, e. Baka ma-late pa si Aspen dahil sa kanya."

Picture After classes, nangungulit pa rin si Agatha kung ano ang nangyari at bakit hindi natuloy. Inigo, on the other hand, was busy on his phone."He just said that something came up kaya hindi siya pwede," I explained. "It's fine. Don't make up scenarios in your head.""Oh... Baka nga importante para i-cancel niya. Anyway Gi, I'm sure babawi rin siya. Don't get too sad," she said."I'm not sad," protesta ko."Sure, babe. Tell that to yourself.""Really..." giit ko pero hindi na nakinig si Agatha.Okay. I think I really am just telling that to myself.Pagkarating namin sa baba ng building ay nagul

Donate "Ang saya mo naman," salubong sa akin ni Kuya Van sa isang supladong tono. "Lapad ng ngiti mo."Nakaupo siya sa couch at nakapatong ang mga paa sa coffee table. Saka ko lang din napansin na nakangiti pala ako nang banggitin iyon ni Kuya."Let's talk." I heard the tone of authority kaya pumayag ako at umupo sa katapat niyang couch. Ang seryoso ng mukha ni Kuya. Nakakatakot."Just let me talk first, okay?"I nodded. It's times like this when I don't want to do anything against what he wanted. Kuya Van may be fun and all but when he's serious, he's serious. He's just like Dad. Hindi kasi ganito si Kuya Theo. Seryoso man siya'y nakukuha pa rin niyang haluan ng biro ang mga sinasa

Fun "Gi, where's your luggage? Dalhin ko na pababa." Kuya Van appeared on my door, hawak sa kaliwang kamay ang isang maleta. Tinuro ko naman iyon sa kanya at nagpatuloy sa pagsisintas ng sapatos na suot ko.Today is our flight. Kaming buong pamilya ay aalis para sa maikling bakasyon. My Lola, who is in China, asked us to be there for her birthday. Which won't be just a one-day celebration because she'll host two parties for it. The remaining days of the trip, she wants to spend with us. It's autumn now in China so I'm thrilled.I asked Inigo last Sunday to pick up the paintings that I'm going to give out for the exhibit. It was my paintings back when I was in my previous university. Medyo gini-guilt trip niya pa ako sa pagtakas

Chapter 08

Inspiration   The first party held is for Lola's business associates and colleagues, Chinese and Filipinos alike. It's a formal event and it's so unfortunate that I got sick the same day. I've got colds and a dry throat. Gusto nina Mom na maiwan na lang ako sa bahay at 'wag nang sumama pero nagpumilit ako. I don't want to disrespect Lola. Pero sa gabing ito ay wala rin akong silbi kasi umupo lang ako buong party. My brothers and cousins are busy socializing because that's what our parents want. Si Kuya Van at Tyler bumabalik lang maya't-maya para kumustahin at samahan ako. Deep down, I'm thankful na nagkasakit ako kasi hindi ko gusto ang mga ganito. Socializing. Si Aspen ay ganoon din kaya sumusunod lang siya sa kung saan pumupunta at nakikipag-usap si Esther. Austin Javier Uvero: Why don't you just go home and rest?

Chapter 09

Fixed Pinagpiyestahan nina Kuya Van iyong rebelasyon ni Dad. I have so many questions in my head! How, where and when did Austin talk to my parents?!I finished my food and quickly excused myself. I went to the pool and submerged my feet in the water. I was having my own peace when Aspen followed and sat beside me."You're anxious," he said after a few silent moments.That wasn't a question. Hindi ako nagsalita. Honestly, my thoughts went into a whirl. I mean, Austin's back in the Philippines, probably taking an exam and yet he has this effect on me! I was never the one to think about the future because it's an uncertain dimension but now I'm starting to. Because of what Dad said."He seems like an okay guy, you know."
