We all have our wildest dreams, don't we? We all have our regrets and pains in our life that made it so hard that it might have suffocated us at some point. Life is short. Take the risk or never. And when love arrives love and if it leaves, leave. Don't stay as I did.
View MoreDan and I went inside his car again. I waved to Karylle, EJ, Luke, and Karlos before we went on our ways. The drive wasn’t as silent as it always is, right now, the soft tune from the aux surrounded the space between us. We were in silence as Dan drove to our next destination. The night wasn’t as deep, the stars and the moon were still young into the night. I looked outside as I made myself comfortable, not noticing the glances of the person beside me. I hum along to the tune, somehow, isn’t this a familiar scene? I’ve done this before, not with the same car, not with the same person. “Luke mentioned na he wants to hang out next, next week. Pupunta ka? It’s Karlos’ birthday, so he wants to surprise him, sabi niya” Dan blurts out, causing me to shift my gaze to him. “Wala naman siyang sinabi, pero if ever, I guess okay lang naman? I mean, I’d love to take all the opportunities of hangouts while I still can” I chuckle, making him chuckle as well. “Aren’t you busy? Diba you’re graduating
Dan arrived at my place an hour before we met with Karylle, EJ, and Luke. “After dinner, okay lang if I get you dessert? I saw this ice cream place, I thought baka magustuhan mo, you said once na you have a sweet tooth” he glances at me, and I look at him. “I said that like, five years ago, how’d you still know that?” I chuckle at him as he drives past the shops and stops at a red light. Dan chuckled, “Is it bad to take notes? I told you dati, you’re one of the few interesting people that I know, you’re a keeper, Cel” he replies and I scoff playfully at him. “Gosh, you know how to flatter someone, Dan, obviously, gutom ka na” I jokingly reply to him and we both laugh softly. “I’m not flattering, bakit? I can’t find you interesting since then?” he retorts while turning to a familiar path. One that I know well. “I’m not interesting, kanino mo nanaman narinig yan” I slightly turn to look at him. Dan was smiling while he continued to maneuver the car. I stared at him unknowingly. There’s a
My class today will start at 1 pm. Brye and I snuck out earlier since we had to drop by my unit and get my things, as well as shoes. My professor is particularly strict with punctuation so me and Brye are sitting down in the parking, eating breakfast. “Pano pala yung studies mo? Online or you got materials lang?” I ask him while taking a sip of the coffee. “No, one of the drivers make hatid to me tapos they come pick me up din” he explains while taking a bite of his food. “That’s,” I trailed off, not knowing what’s the right word to say. “Bullshit, yes” he butts in, completing what I was about to say, making both of us laugh.“Pano kapag nalaman nila na you snuck out, Ri?” I looked at him while he threw the trash in the backseat. “Okay lang, it doesn’t matter. Sanay na ko marinig silang mag-nag” he shrugs and looks back at me with a smile. I stare at him and give back a smile. “Tell me about it later?” I mutter to him. “Of course, ma’am, as you wish” he winks and I playfully give him a
Two in the morning. There’s a mug of coffee that hasn’t been emptied. It was two hours since the last call was made. A video call to be exact. Dan called two hours ago to say good night and to tell me that he’d pick me up again, this time we’d have dinner again but with Kari and EJ. It has been two hours as well with studying numbers and letters and solving word problems and there’s already a pile of papers stacked on the floor.It was already two in the morning when a message popped out from my tab.Mike:>: Awake? Care for a late-night walk? I frowned at the text but agreed to the walk. I groaned and stretched my back and arms. ‘Maybe a walk would help in clearing my head, kanina pa ako nag-aaral so deserve ko naman magpahinga kahit saglit diba’, I smile at my thoughts before grabbing the jacket and waited for Michael at the lobby of the building, still on his suit. I saw his car and smiled as soon as I entered his car. “Hi, I thought may party kayo?” I asked him while he took a U-tu
“Oh, please, give me a break Marcus, did you miss me that much for you not to give me a ‘me’ time” Brye rolls his eyes while placing his phone in his pocket, away from his brother’s grasp, hoping that he won’t ask. “If you were there, talking to the people that you need to talk to Akihiko, then I wouldn’t be tailing and chasing you, and who was that? You were told that no phones ah?” Marcus, the eldest, is summoned by the Lim couple to find the youngest after noticing that he isn’t seen around the important people. “You don’t need to know who it was, that’s not gonna make your business successful if you knew them” he rolled his eyes, continuing to ignore his brother.Marcus who had gotten pissed at his younger brother pulls him by his shoulder. Brye and Marcus faced head-on. Brye had a deep frown plastered on his face, irritation was visible and so was Marcus. “I am getting pissed with this attitude you are giving, Akihiko. Katherine has been complaining that she can’t find you anywher
Clinking champagne glasses and the smell of expensive perfumes made Brye almost empty his insides. He’s in a yacht, surrounded by people he doesn’t want to be with. Not to mention that he was running away from Go since this event had started. Brye wants to be home and he doesn’t want to be here. “Your face looked like you’d be happy to jump from here and swim to the shore and go home” Michael appears beside him. “That’s right, give me more ideas like that Faustino” he replies, raising his glass a little before chugging down the contents and placing it somewhere. Michael laughs at his friend. “You know pwede ka naman na umalis ngayon, but your family is probably gonna tear that ear off if you did,” he tells his friend who looks like he is mourning. Brye looked at the night sky. The moon was present and it looked beautiful. He wonders if Lili is also looking at the moon right now. It’s bright and it’s big. “Lili loves the moon looking like that” he mutters under his breath while starin
There’s a buzz. A frown instantly made its way to my face. “Brye” I mumble, making Ally look at my way, her left brow raising at me. I copied her face before slowly sliding the accept button and placing it on my ear. “Ri?” I ask for him, waiting for him to answer. A groan welcomed me, following a whine, making my frown run deeper. “How’d you got to school kanina?” I hear him ask. His voice lingered with frustration and irritation. I blinked at his random and sudden question. I could hear the faint clinking of kitchenware around him. ‘Must be on a brunch with his family’, was the thing I first thought of. “Lili?” He whispered. “Well, sumakay ako sa bus,” I replied while picking up my pen again. “Bat?” I followed. “Are you not nagtataka I wasn’t in my unit? Or nagaalala?” the sass in his voice spilled. I smiled at the thought of him rolling his eyes. “But I haven’t heard you come home, Ri, and sure ako na once you get back to your unit, you won’t. You’d knock my door open bago ka makapa
I was unable to speak nor to form any words. I stared at Dan while he anticipated my answer. “Too much ba? It’s fine if you don’t answer ngayon, I can wait naman” he nervously chuckled and I woke up from the trance. “Ha? I mean, okay lang Dan, I mean wait lang let me get my sense lang ha” I closed my eyes, trying to get my shit back again and tried to process his words. I look up at him. “Okay ka lang ba? Hindi ka naman nauntog kaninang umaga?” I frown at him, not really believing his words. He laughs at my words, trying not to spill his drink. He shakes his head, “I woke up fine, Ly” he tells me, and I frown. “Dan, well, I don’t know what to say yet but I guess oo, pwede natin itry, pwede naman” I shrug, “wait nga holy shit, I really don’t know what to say, I’m not prepared for this, bakit ka naman ganyan” I let out a shaky sigh and he laughs. I felt him hold my hand and rub the back of my hand. “It’s fine, I think I overwhelmed you, sorry, pero now that you’re near, parang di na ko
“casu in praeteritum”, I read, looking at the cursive signage outside of the cafe. I got out of the car while he looked for a parking slot. I strolled along the premises and landed outside the shop that was filled with people. The line wasn’t that long but looking from the outside, I could tell that there were a lot of people inside already. “Ano? You like it?” Dan pops out beside me and I look up at him with a smile, “depends on how strong the coffee will be, pero I like the aesthetic” we both chuckle and go on the line. I got some of my things, my tab with the keyboard, my notebooks, and some materials. I didn’t bring a book. I stood beside my table earlier thinking whether to bring one or not but for some reason, it felt like it was wrong to bring one. ‘Maybe Brye’s habits are rubbing on me too much’, I sigh at my thoughts and wait for our turn to get in. “I didn’t realize na magkakaron ng maraming tao ngayong opening” I hear Dan complain beside me. “Okay lang naman, baka naman wo
