Handwritten Destiny Chapter 9
GoodnightLutang ang isip ko habang tinutulungan ng stylist na magbihis. I’m in a high-end store to try on few dresses sa kagustuhan na rin ni Lideon. Katatapos ko lang sa spa at salon na siyang pakana rin ng bruho. Inis kong tiningnan ang sarili sa salamin. Medyo nanlalabo pa ang mga mata ko dahil sa hindi pa tuluyang gumagaling mula sa trangkaso.Kung hindi lang kasalanan ang pumatay, wala na sana sa mundong ito ang antipatikong iyon. Ganoon ako ka-galit sa mga pinapagawa niya sa akin ngayon.I’m wearing a light peach tube dress. Hanggang itaas ng tuhod ang haba niyon at tama lang ang pagkakahapit sa hubog ng katawan ko. My hair is rolled up into a messy bun at ilang hibla ng buhok ay nasa gilid ng pisngi ko. Hindi rin ganoon ka kapal ang make-up ko ba bumagay lang din sa suot kong hikaw at damit.Kahit ganoon ay hindi ko man lang magawang purihin ang sarili ko. Truly I look different with these extravagance on, pero hindi man lang natatabunan niyon ang kahungkagang nararamdaman ko.

BoyfriendHalos wala ako sa sarili habang nasa trabaho kinabukasan. Palaging pumapasok sa isip ko ang nangyari ng nagdaang gabi kahit hindi naman dapat.I was caught off guard with what he did. Pero ang kaalamang ginawa niya iyon ay dahil may mga camera ay lalong nagpausbong ng galit ko. What the hell, Almene?“Okay ka lang?” Untag ni Julienne na nagpabalik sa akin sa kasalukuyan. Bahagya pa akong napaigtad nang marahan niyang tapikin ang kamay ko.“O-Oo naman,” tipid akong ngumiti.Kumpara kahapon ay mas maayos na ang pakiramdam ko. At wala rin naman akong gagawin sa bahay kaya mas pinili kong pumasok sa trabaho. Pagkatapos naman ay dadalaw ako ng ospital.“You should eat,” si Nathan na binalingan ng tingin ang pagkain kong pinaglalaruan ko lang pala.“O-Oo,” hilaw akong ngumisi at bumalik sa pagkain.Patapos na ang lunch break nang mag vibrate ang cellphone ko. Naging alerto agad ako nang makitang si Jade ang nag-text.‘Ate, pupunta ka ba ng ospital mamaya?’ - JadeI dialed her numb

SweetestI didn’t know how he found out I was frequent at the hospital. Maybe he had me followed all these days. At ang kaalamang iyon ay lalo lang nagpasidhi ng galit ko.At ano raw? B-Boyfriend? Nababaliw na ba siya?“Ano’ng boyfriend pinagsasasabi mo riyan? Huwag ka ngang patawa. I have a fiance. And me being in this madness won’t change that fact,” angil ko.His hold on me loosened up but he didn’t let go. He looked flustered for a moment and went berserk again. He smirked angrily and tilted his head on the other side.“Baka nakakalimutan mo kung ano’ng nakataya rito? It’s your father’s freedom that’s at stake here, Miss Villareal. One more act that could ruin my plan and our deal’s done,” he uttered.Galit ko siyang itinulak at agad nang umalis sa lugar na iyon bago pa ako tuluyang sumabog sa galit. Naiiyak na ako sa kawalang magawa. And thinking about the possibilities of all of these is killing me.I am in the verge of breaking down. Kung pwede lang at may paraan lang para maka

SmileMy mind went completely blank that I had to knock some sense in me. And when I realized what he just did, he let go. He even licked his lips while staring and smirking at me. Sa galit ay malalakas na hampas ang iginawad ko sa kanya.“You asshole! Pervert!”He was so quick in catching both my hands and pinned them above my head. Lalong nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa ginawa niya. I can’t deny I’m afraid, too. God knows what he’s gonna do. Lalo pa’t kaming dalawa lang rito!He became very serious, amusement now totally gone. I glared back at him, even when my chest is throbbing so fast because of fear. Naiiyak na rin ako.“Pervert?” Nang-uuyam niyang ngisi. “It seems to me that you enjoyed it too,” may bahid ng galit na aniya.“I would never enjoy kissing someone like you,” matigas kong tugon.“Really? Let’s see,” aniya at muling inilapit ang mukha sa akin.I quickly tilted my head on the other side that his lips landed on my cheek. A tear fell from my eye.“Labas. Magbibihis na ako,”

DumbfoundedMaybe it was because of the gentle breeze, or the soothing sound of the little waves that resonates every time they clash with each other, or maybe it was the heart of the sun that hits his skin making it glow like the waters being hit by the rays. I don’t know. And I refuse to acknowledge whatever it is that he’s making me feel. I looked away and gaze at the waves instead, pretending I didn’t hear any of it. Nor did I understood the anger that I saw awhile ago. “This place is beautiful,” I muttered mindlessly. Unti-unting luminaw sa paningin ko ang papalapit na yate. It stopped just a few meters from the shore. “Sa inyo rin ba iyon?” I pointed at the yacht and briefly looked at him. Sinundan niya ng tingin ang itinuturo ko. “Yeah,” tipid niyang sambit. I nodded trying to fathom in my head how freaking rich his family is to own a chopper and a yacht. I’ve read some magazines featuring them a long time ago. Hindi ko lang pinagtuunan ng pansin dahil hindi naman ako inter

Gift“You must have been very surprised, hija. Pasensya na,” she smiled at me.I was too stunned to even react to what was happening in front of me. Kung hindi pa ako hinawakan ni Lideon para ipakilala ay hindi ako babalik sa huwisyo. Mrs. Danice Martin hugged me lightly after the introduction. Habang ako naman ay tila nakalutang pa rin sa hangin habang nangyayari ang lahat ng iyon sa harap ko.We were already seated in their long dining table when she said that. Bahagya pa rin akong nanginginig sa nerbyos sa mga maaaring tanong na pwede kong marinig. And worst, I didn’t know it’s Lideon’s birthday today. Sana lang hindi nila nahalatang wala akong alam tungkol sa bagay na iyon.“It’s fine po,” I smiled lightly.“Why? What happened?” Takang tanong ni Lideon na palipat-lipat ang tingin sa aming dalawa. Pasimple lang akong nag-iwas ng tingin.“It wasn’t anything serious, son. You see, I got so agitated when you said you’re finally introducing someone to us. I couldn’t wait any longer so
Handwritten Destiny Chapter 15
PatheticTuluyan lang akong nakahinga nang malalim nang mapag-isa sa kwarto. I must have been crazy to let him hug me like that. I’d like to think I was just carried away by the mood and by guilt for his birthday. When we don’t even get along well until now. O kung matatawag ko nga bang ‘maayos’ ang turingan namin ngayon.I’m still angry with the situation I am in. And I don’t think I would ever get over it. Lalo pa’t habang dumadaan ang mga araw na ginagawa ko ito, pabigat nang pabigat ang guilt na nararamdaman ko.I looked at my phone to see if Jade had left me updates about Francis, pero wala. Hindi ko alam kung mapapanatag ba ako o lalong mag-aalala. Sinabihan ko pa naman sina tita Dehlia na dadalaw ako kapag walang trabaho. I wonder if we would be going home early tomorrow?I just changed into casual clothes. Wala rin naman akong planong maligo dahil malamig na so I didn’t bother packing a swimsuit. Hindi rin naman kami magpapalipas ng gabi roon so I think it’s fine not to bring
Handwritten Destiny Chapter 16
ScaredI wanted to laugh out of anger, despair, and hoplessness. Bakit ko nga ba kailangang pagdaanan ang lahat ng ito? Ilang beses ko nang naitanong sa sarili iyan. And just like the previous times, I still couldn’t get an answer. Being happy is a luxury to me. Simple lang naman sana ang gusto at pangarap ko - ang mamuhay nang payapa at tahimik. Pero kahit iyon ay tila kay-ilap at imposible.I kept asking myself ‘why’ as I drown myself. I didn’t mind to struggle even when I don’t know how to swim. And I don’t expect anyone up there to save me either. I just closed my eyes as my back touched the cold floor of the swimming pool. I heard water splashing but I couldn’t care less.The next thing I noticed, I was out of the water and someone is putting pressure on my chest. Noises filled my ears but I couldn’t comprehend a word. Then something cold touched my mouth, blowing air in it. Doon lang tila bumalik ang paghinga ko. I coughed so hard that I almost lost my breath again.“Fuck, I tho
