GIDEON HAD ALWAYS been extra caring and loving of me. Nasa point na ako ng relasyon namin na nahihiya na ako sa mga binibigay niya. I want to give him something, too. Iyon bang maipaparamdam ko sa kanya iyong lubos na pasasalamat ko at pagmamahal sa lahat ng mga pag-aalaga at pagmamahal na inialay niya para sa akin.
I pushed the stop button on the treadmill and held on to the handles as I catch my breath. I was exercising with my cycling and racerback on sa may gym area namin. I was with Chadleen who was busy meditating and doing some yoga on her mat on the floor.
“Chad…” I called her.
Tumigil naman siya sa ginagawa niya upang ituon ang buong atensyon sa akin. “Yes, couz?”
“Can you help me?”
“Saan?”
I scratched my right eyebrow and contemplated whether I should tell her or not. Of course, I need suggestions on what I was planning. I need to hear what Chadleen had to say

I FIGURED THAT in life, when you give up the one that you love, you lose. Talo ka hindi lang sa pag-ibig at buhay. You also deprived yourself of your right and chance to be happy and be better. Ayokong sukuan si Deon hindi lang dahil ayokong maging malungkot sa buhay. Ayoko siyang sukuan dahil mahal ko siya. Lalaban ako dahil papatunayan ko sa kanyang totoo iyong nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. I will apologize to him and chase him even if it takes me a century to have his forgiveness and to prove how genuine and immense the love I had for him.“Deon, pwede ba tayong mag-usap?” tanong ko, hindi na bale kung nahinto man ang tawanan ng mga kaklase ni Richelle sa table nila nang lapitan ko.Napansin ko kaninang hindi naman nakikipagtawanan si Deon sa kanila. Malayo ang tingin nito at tahimik lang saka seryoso sa kinauupuan niya. Deon and Richelle both looked at me.“Rich, mauna na kami ha?” paalam ng isa sa mga kaklase niya s

ANG DAMI-DAMI KO na ngang problema at iniisip, dumagdag pa iyong nalaman ko kay Ruby Lane noong isang gabi. Richelle hurt her. I glanced at her vacant seat. Wala pa ring nakaupo ro’n ngayon dahil absent pa rin siya ngayong araw. She might be mean but I still hope that she was well now. I deeply regret what I did to her the night we confronted each other. Hindi tama iyon at hindi makatao. I was never raised to become violent and to harm another. Sana talaga ay okay lang siya.Nang sulyapan ko naman ang pwesto ni Deon ay naabutan kong nakasubsob ang mukha nito sa mga braso niyang nasa ibabaw ng desk niya. Ilang araw na kaming hindi nag-uusap at nagpapansinan. Hanggang malayong tingin na lang ako sa kanya kahit na gustong-gusto ko na siyang lapitan at kausapin ulit. Pansin ko nga ring lagi siyang ganoon nitong mga nakaraang araw – pagod at madalas inaantok. I wonder if he had a problem apart from what we were currently having. Gustong-gusto ko siyang

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION was supposed to be one of our happiest days, but in my case, it was both the happiest and saddest. Happy kasi finally, I will be embarking on another journey and that was college. Excited na akong kumuha ng kursong fashion designing at gumawa ng sarili kong marka sa industriyang tatahakin ko. Malungkot kasi magsisimula na naman kami ulit sa panibagong lugar at ng panibagong buhay. Iiwanan na namin dito lahat… at hindi na babalikan. Ang sakit-sakit lang kasi ayoko siyang iwan pero wala akong magagawa kasi pareho na kaming nakapili, e, at hindi namin pwedeng piliin ang bawat isa.Sa gitna ng mga estudyanteng naghahagis ng mga graduation cap nila ay nahuli ko ang tingin ni Deon sa akin. Tingin lang talaga, walang kangiti-ngiti, pero kita ko sa mga mata niya ang lungkot at sakit. Mahal ko siya, mahal na mahal pero siguro tama talaga siya, e, hanggang dito na lang kami.Nang muling tawagin ng principal ang atensyon namin sa har

WHO WOULD HAVE thought na ang taong nagtaboy sa akin ng araw na iyon ay siyang mismong lalapit sa akin ngayon? May pabaon pang isang bagay na pareho naming hindi inaasahan. I mean, I really thought that what happened between us would not result to something. Although we were not really protected during our first intercourse, but as primitive my idea as it sounded, but I really believe na hindi nga magkakaroon ng bunga iyon kasi nga first time namin! Ang mas hindi ko pa inaasahan ay si Deon pa talaga ang magbubuntis tapos witch pala kami and werewolf din siya. Ang galing-galing naman talaga. What a plot twist! Grabeng buhay ‘to, parang fantaserye!Napabaling ako kay Deon nang dahan-dahan na siyang mahiga sa kama ko… namin na pala. He already removed his shoes, and I found them neatly placed on my shoe rack. Napansin naman niya ang paninitig ko roon. He was really like my mother – maasikaso, masipag, at organized.“Pasensya ka na

AMINADO NAMAN KAMI ni Deon na pareho kaming kabado. Kaya nga maaga kaming nagising at naghanda para harapin silang lahat sa agahan. Alam naming round two ito ng panggigisa sa amin ng mga nakakatanda.“Handa ka na ba?” he asked softly.He was looking at me from my behind and through our reflection in my vanity mirror. Tumango ako at in-off na ang hair blower ko. Kabado ako pero gusto kong maging presentable pa rin para kahit na nagigisa na ay may mukhang maganda pa rin akong maihaharap sa kanilang lahat.“Ikaw ba? Handa ka na?”Tumango rin siya. Suot ni Deon ang damit at Nike taslan shorts ni Kuya Willard. Naisip kong mamili ng mga maternity dress para sa kanya kapag lumaki-laki na ang tiyan niya para hindi siya mahirapang kumilos habang nagbubuntis siya.Pumihit ako paharap sa kanya upang suriin ang itsura niya. He might not admit it but his eyes said it all – he was scared. Ako rin naman, e. Kahit mga

DADDY SUMMONED ME to his study after dinner. Pinauna ko na sa kwarto namin si Deon para puntahan si daddy dahil may mahalaga raw kaming pag-uusapan. Perhaps he will equip me in wielding my magic before going to Abseiles. I really hope so.“Dad,” I called him.Mula sa binabasang papeles ay nag-angat ng tingin niya sa akin si daddy. He removed his eyeglasses and gestured for me to take the seat in front of him.“Maupo ka muna, anak.”I did what I was told. Mukhang seryoso si daddy pero kalmado na hindi gaya nang kaninang umaga. I hope he was in a good mood now because I was not really in the mood to argue with him and everything.“Ano pong pag-uusapan natin, dad?”“There are just some important things that I want you to know as a first-time Witchita parent, hija.”“Ano po ‘yon?”“You have to be there for Deon. Kailangan ka niya dahil maselan

DAYS AFTER MY family revealed our biggest secrets, I made up my list.To do:1. Get to know more about my family's identity, history, and special ability (especially in dealing with a pregnant male partner!)2. Master my family's craft — witchcraft.3. Attend to Deon's needs, assist, and take care of him.4. Protect and keep him away from his pack for nine months (or else our child's gonna get killed because Deon's a son of an alpha b*tch!)5. Plan about our child's financial support and our parental setup.6. Make sure that the whole pregnancy experience will be tolerable for the first-time mommy (or pappy or whatsoever, I don't really know what to call him, geez...)7. The child should stay with my family after Deon gave birth because he or she belongs to us, to the kind who needs to keep hiding.8. And the mo

I WAS HONESTLY impressed with the whole place and our newest penthouse which Chadleen, Deon, and I will be sharing for the rest of the nine months. Nasa baba pa rin kami ng building habang manghang tinitingala ko iyon. The entire area did not seem like tall skyscrapers and expensive hotels that I had always seen in the mortal world. It seemed and felt more like I was a tiny human being standing in a line of books piled on the shelf with, of course, books as the buildings and the unfilled part in their row as the entrance or alleyway to the inside of that place. Iyong building ay parang makakapal na mga hardbound books na tinubuan lang ng mga bintana at pinto at tinitirhan ng iba’t ibang mga beast.“Insan, hindi kaya magka-stiff neck ka kakatingala sa mga ‘yan?” tukso sa akin ni Chadleen.I looked at her and smiled widely and toothily, like a child who had visited Charlie’s Chocolate Factory for the first time ever.
