LOGINSi Visarius Lopez Realmondo, 20 taong gulang nang ampunin ang batang iniwan sa gate ng bahay nito, si Ashianna Lopez Realmondo. Pinangalanan, binihisan, pinakain, minahal at inalagaan. Habang lumalaki ang ampon, hindi nya hinahayaang mas mapalapit pa rito. Ngunit sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana, dahil sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, tila ba sinadyang magustuhan nila ng lihim ang isa't-isa. Ang propesor ay lihim na nagkagusto sa kanyang ampon na lumaki sa kanyang piling. Habang si Ashianna naman ay lumaki sa malayong lugar para sa kanyang pag-aaral ng high school, ngunit si Vis ay madalas na bumibisita sa kanya dahil sa labis na pagmamahal at pag-aalala. Pag-aalala nga lamang ba o pagkasabik na makapiling ito araw at gabi. Naging maayos ang relasyong prinotektahan ni Professor Visarius. Ngunit ang kanilang relasyon ay naging komplikado nang malaman ng mga tao na may namamagitan sa kanila ng ampon na si Ashianna. Dahilan upang magkaroon ito ng kaso. Si Vis ay naaresto at nakulong dahil sa batas na hindi pumapayag sa relasyon ng isang guardian at adoptee. Hindi malaman ni Ashianna ang gagawin. Kung aalis ba o ipaglalaban ang pag-iibigang alam nyang kailanman ay hindi magiging tama.
View MoreThe sun set in the west as the guests continued to arrive. And the house was filled with decorations, laughter, and casual conversations. Everything was in place. Everything looked right. The front yard had rows of chairs and tables covered in gold cloth. Near the pool, a small stage stood with red and pink roses arranged neatly around it. Lucas, Brandon, and Lilienne were inspecting the eighteen-layer cake I personally ordered and picked up. I wanted it delivered properly. No mistakes. Atleast for this one. It was Ashianna’s eighteenth birthday. Her debut. She wore a red dress and greeted the guests politely, smiling when she had to. She looked composed. Collected. She looked fvcking gorgeous and enchanted. I walked slowly down the stairs at my own pace. She didn’t hesitate to look at me. 'I didn’t force her that day. At least, that’s what I tell myself. I thought I was trying to calm her, to stop her from breaking down. I acted on impulse. And it's my fault that As
"Do I look like a matured woman?" Ashianna asked out of nowhere. I can say she's feeling a bit self-conscious. I was cruising in my car, one hand on the steering wheel, the other hanging out the open window.Guess, the words of that woman at the boutique still lingered in his mind."Sort of..." I said honestly. She looks elegant and mature for her age, wears fancy old-money dresses. And I feel like we’d match if people saw us together. She looks satisfied with my answer. I fell silent for a beat. Then I remembered we hadn’t eaten yet. "Kakain tayo sa labas o drive thru na lang? Bilhan natin si Manang?" I asked. She glanced at me. And then she holds her answer for a moment, "drive thru na lang..."I nodded. Her crisp answer shifted the air inside the car. I was about to ask what was wrong when her phone rang. It was Kalie, her classmate. Then Kalie added Vance on their video, followed by another friend I didn’t know. They chatted casually as I ordered food at the drive-thru. "I w
Ashianna overprepared her debut. Her Tito Don gave her almost everything. Her gowns, her heels, the crown she'll wear. Almost everything. The one she'll wear on her eighteen roses was also different from what she'll wear on the entire celebration. And yet, she's still bugging me on some stuffs that she wants on her birthday. She was like a busy woman preparing for a wedding, when it is only a birthday."Visarius Realmondo, I need one pair of heels pa." She complained. Halfly irritated. Her little tantrums with her uncontentment issues were growing again.And did she just fvcking called me with my full name?"What did you just call me?" I asked. I glared at her but she just shrugged and rolled her eyes on me."Sabi mo, I can call you by your real name when I turned eighteen." Yeah, I did say that. And now I'm kinda regretting it. It feels like she's taking it as a chance to have authority over me."You're not eighteen yet..." I complained. It's unfair that she calls me whatever she
Pagkatapos kong kumain, I took a bath and dried my hair afterwards. Mabilis kong ibinagsak ang sarili sa kama at kinapa ang cellphone sa maliit na table sa gilid. Me: Nakauwi ka na? I waited for her reply. Pero wala. Hindi man lamang gumalaw 'yung bubbles. Me: It's already 9:30. Not home yet? Napabangon ako. Lumabas ako saglit sa balcony at nagsindi ng sigarilyo. I dialed her number, there's a continuous ring at the other side but she's not answering. Me: It's fvcking 10pm now, sweetheart. Answer your damn phone. Ilang minuto lang, nagreply naman na si Ashianna. Ashianna: 13% na lang phone ko kanina. Hinatid naman ako nina Kiko. Don't ya worry. Me: Kiko? Who's dog is that? Ashianna: Dog? He's not a dog. He's my friend. Napamasahe ako sa sintido. Tutulog na nga lang, sasakit pa ang ulo. "Who's Kiko?" Tanong ko nang sagutin ni Ashianna ang tawag. "A friend, daddy. Kasama ko-" "A friend, hmm... friend mo na nong high school?" Tanong ko. "No..." Ashianna an
"Son, your papa and I are talking about having a vacation there in the Philippines, but your dad is super busy...Please, anak...Ikaw na lang ang bumisita sa'min dito. Miss na miss na kita...Look oh, my skin was not as healthy as before, ang dami ko ng wrinkles at kulubot na ang balat ko, matanda na
Ilang minuto na akong nasa byahe, pero hindi pa rin nagcha-chat si Ashianna. I think she's mad. After what she freaking did. Ako dapat ang nagagalit ngayon. 'Don't be mad.' I typed while waiting for the stoplight to turn red. My thing hasn't calm down a bit. It only worsen when Ashianna's fig
Later that night, after hearing nothing from me. Ashianna vanished out of my sight and refused to leave her room. Kahit si Manang hindi nya kinakausap o pinapansin. She looks quite annoyed by what I've acted back in the car.And now, mom's pestering me. Begging me to visit them in New York. Things
"Ayaw mong maging responsable sa nararamdaman ko pero kung tratuhin mo naman ako parang hindi mo anak." Matamlay na wika nito. Tila ba sinisisi ako kung paanong naging mabuting ama lamang naman ako sa kanya. I brought her home and lifestyle that her biological mother can't. I took care of her. F
