Chapter 14: SHE WHO LIED
I laughed awkwardly. I gulped the lump in my throat and rub my hands together. Pinaypayan ko ang sarili kahit na centralized naman ang aircon ko rito sa loob. Umiwas ako ng tingin habang si Xenon naman ay nakatitig lang sa akin.
Maybe he was observing me.
I sighed heavily and looked at him while pacing back and forth. He was patiently waiting for me to say something. Nakaupo siya ngayon sa aking couch, nakatingin pa rin sa akin. His eyes dropped on the bouquet of flowers and food. Tumikhim ako kaya bumaling sa akin ang kanyang atensyon.
“Uhm. . . I-ikaw ba ‘yong nagpadeliver ng mga iyan?”
Tumaas ang kanyang kilay na tila ba naguguluhan sa akin. Huwag kang mag-alala kasi pati rin ako hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili ko. Kanina lang may paiyak-iyak pa ‘ko dahil namimiss ko siya tapos noong dumating siya pinaupo ko lang sa couch at ayaw ko nang lumapit sa kanya. Damn it! I just want to see him!
Normal pa ba ‘ko sa lagay n

Shamelessly Yours Chapter 15: LEFT OUT IN COLD
"Ma'am, hindi pa ba kayo uuwi?"Napatalon ako sa gulat nang magsalita si Dr. Rhona Santos, co-teacher ko. Nakatayo siya sa hamba ng aking pintuan. Ang kanyang buhok na hanggang bewang ay kanyang sinuklay at tiningnan ang aking klasrum na wala nang laman.Tumikhim ako at umayos ng upo. "Ah, may tatapusin lang."Tumango siya at nagpaalam na mauuna na. I smiled and noded my head. Nang makaalis na siya ay muli akong napasandal sa aking upuan at huminga ng malalim. Alam kong bawal dalhin sa loob ng eskwelahan ang personal problems ko pero hindi talaga maalis sa isip ko ang nalaman ko kagabi. Imbes na gawin ko ang paper works ko kagabi ay iba ang aking pinagkaabahalan. Hinanap ko nang hinanap ang patunay na nagpunta nga ako sa Tagaytay.Dumapo ang aking tingin sa isang papel kung saan nakasulat doon ang iilang rides na aking sinakyan. Naalala kong tinanggal ko iyon at nilagay sa loob ng bag na ngayon ko lang din tiningnan. Kanina ko pa iniisip kung bakit sa osp
Shamelessly Yours Chapter 16: ALMOST GOT CAUGHT
Humikab ako atsaka humalukipkip habang hinihintay na bumubukas ang elevator. Medyo nahuhulog na rin ang talukap ng aking mga mata pero pinipigilan ko. Sinipat ko ang aking relo at tahimik na pumasok sa loob nang bumukas ang elevator. Si Xenon ang nagpindot sa button kung saang floor kami."Inaantok—""Excuse me," putol ko sa kanyang sasabihin nang magring ang aking cellphone."Oh. Sorry," he whispered.Kinuha ko sa loob ng aking bag ang cellphone. Tumaas ang aking kilay dahil hindi ko kilala ang numerong iyon. Tinitigan ko lang iyon hanggang sa mamatay ang tawag. Nang sulyapan ko ang repleksyon ko sa pinto ng elevator ay napansin kong nakadungaw sa cellphone ko ang katabi ko. Nang mapansin niya 'ko ay agad siyang umiwas ng tingin at tumikhim."Good thing that you don't answer unknown numbers," he said."Yeah. . . I want to protect myself from people. Mahirap na baka maloko pa 'ko."Tumango siya at nilingon ako. Tinago ko naman sa loob ng bag ang aking cellphone. Malapit na kami sa ami
Shamelessly Yours Chapter 17: THE CHOICE IS YOURS
The choices we made would eventually make an impact on our lives. It may not be today, but sooner or later, the consequences of our actions would come. And we can't undo everything. All we have to do is to learn to embrace the result of our choices. And we can't blame them if we're in a bad situation because we are the one who put ourselves in that situation.Kadalasan, maraming tao ang sinisisi ang iba kung bakit nandiyan sila sa isang pangit na sitwasyon. Kahit ang totoo nito'y ang mga sarili naman talaga nila ang may kasalanan. Mahirap lunukin ang sarili nating pagkakamali pero mabilis tayong manisi ng ibang tao.Hindi ako nakapagsalita sa sinabi sa akin ni Callie. Malakas pa rin ang kalabog ng puso ko habang inaakay niya 'ko papasok sa kwarto. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kung hindi dumating si Callie. Siguro ay tatadtarin ako ni Mama ng maraming tanong kung hindi siya dumating. At hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko kay Mama. Baka mapaamin na lang ako bigla at hindi ko alam k

"Melly, bakit hindi ka makasagot?! Sino ang ama ng dinadala mo? Si Zircon ba?"Umiling ako nang umiling kay Mama. "Of course not!""Then tell me who? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin na buntis ka? Bakit tinago mo sa amin ng Papa mo ito?!""Because I don't know how, Ma! Maski sa ama ng dinadala ko hindi ko alam kung papaano ko sasabihin sa kanya na iyong isang gabing pagkamamaling iyon ay nagbunga!" sigaw ko kasabay nang pagpatak ng aking mga luha."W-what?"I wiped my tears away and face her. Her eyes were bloodshot and at the same time bewilthered. I don't know how to say this to her. I don't know where to start. I tired to wiped my tears again but they kept on falling."Nang magpunta po ako sa Switzerland . . . may nangyari sa amin," bulong ko."So, it was a one-night stand?"Tumango at yumuko ako. Pinaglaruan ang aking mga daliri. My God! I can't find the right words to say because this is sudden. Iyong plano ko na sabihin sa kanya ng maayos ay biglang nasira!"So who's the father?"N
Shamelessly Yours Chapter 19: LET'S TALK ABOUT US
Humikab ako at kinapa ang aking unan na nasa aking tabi. Nang makapa ko ito ay kumunot ang aking noo. Teka nga. Bakit parang tumigas ata ang unan ko? Kinapa ko ulit pababa habang nakapikit nang may humawak sa kamay ko."Stop it, babe. Baka makapa mo ang hindi dapat makapa," someone whispered.Agad akong nagmulat at nanlaki ang mga mata nang makita kung sino ang katabi ko. Napasigaw ako at kinuha ang kumot para takpan ang aking katawan."B-bakit ka nandito?! A-ano'ng ginawa mo sa akin?!"Kumunot ang kanyang noo at bumangon. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na magkatabi kami sa iisang kama! Ang naalala ko lang kagabi ay nakaupo ako sa kandungan niya at tahimik lang. Napapikit ako. Diyos ko! Nakakastress naman ito!Malambing niyang hinawakan ang aking siko. "Hey."Inilag ko ang aking siko at hinigpitan ang kapit sa kumot na akala mo'y ito ang unang beses na may nangyari sa amin. Kabado kong nilibot ang aking paningin. Kinakabahan dahil baka may makita siyang pregnancy essentials. Hindi pwed
Shamelessly Yours Chapter 20: THE PROMISE OF YESTERDAY
As I looked back, the very first time I laid my eyes on him was when I was fifteen years old, in third-year high school. He has a cold yet funny aura which made me fall in love with him. He's passionate when it comes to his favorite sport, which is basketball. I saw him first during our intramurals. At first, I found him arrogant when I interviewed him for our school newspaper. He was the MVP that time, so I had to interview him and asked him questions.I never knew that that simple interaction would lead to something special. I was bewildered because Zircon would always call me 'Elle' and I don't know why. But he told me that he wanted to call me Elle because it means God is my light. And he considered me as his light because he was in deep darkness before we met. When darkness ate him at night, I was his moon. The moon that gave light and led him in the right direction.If I was his moon, I considered him my star. Because without him, my life would be boring.But sadly, if there's a
Shamelessly Yours Chapter 21: WHEN THE STAR FALLS IN THE OCEAN
I laughed when I heard a loud thud. I thought he would scream in pain because he fell on the floor but I guess he has a body of steel. His eyes were wide and his lips were half open. He knelt in between my legs and stared at me."W-what did you say?"Ngumuso ako at umiling. "Nope. Not gonna say it again."He groaned. "Come on, baby. Say it again."I brused his hair and run my fingers on his well-defined jaw. I smiled a little and stared at him. His eyes were like the stars."Ang sabi ko. . . magpahinga ka na."He sighed. "Iyong kasunod d'yan, Melly."My brows met. "I didn't say anything."My lips parted when he rested his head on my chest. I felt like my whole damn system trembled because of his sudden move. I am afraid he might hear the chaos inside my heart. I gulped the lump on my throat. I was about to say something when he cut me off."I thought you said that you're in love with me." He sighed. "But I guess I was just imagining things because I've been longing to hear that from y
Shamelessly Yours Chapter 22: SOMEONE'S BACK
People say, "falling in love can be an accident but staying in love is already a decision." Xenon Jae Sebastian fell in love with me when I was in college. And he decided to stay in love with me until now. It felt surreal and unbelievable to found a love like his. A love that stays throughout the years.I desperately wiped my tears away and fixed myself when the door opened . He must not know that I'm eavesdropping. Xenon's face was a bit irritated, but when he saw me, he smiled immediately. As if he wasn't losing his patience towards her mother. I finally get this now, why he's irritated every time his mother is calling him. He was forced to date, someone. And I felt something weird when I'm thinking about it. I hate the idea of him dating another woman."Hey, babe. Good morning," he said and kissed my temple.I sighed. "Good morning din."He closed the door behind him and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Are you okay?"Umiling ako at ngumiti ng kaunti. "Yeah. Come on, let's eat."
