Pangatlong araw na 'to na hindi kami nagtatagpo. At buong araw naman akong nagkulong ng kwarto, hindi alam kung ano ang gagawin. When I noticed it was not getting earlier, I decided to go outside to find the warm sunshine invading the living room. Giving it a soft vibe that I like.
I smiled before heading to the kitchen and opened the fridge immediately to find it filled, as I expected. He didn't set any rules not to touch anything, it is both our condo after all.
My mind once again went to place and I came across a conversation. I opened the freezer to find a lot of packed frozen food, and meat.
"Aba, oh, pinahanda pa talaga namin lahat ng ito for the both of you," Don Christopher started as we enter their dining room to find a long table filled with food. "Ito, c
"You know, I wanted to become a lawyer once."My eyebrows rose as I turn to him, he sits beside me as he place his mug on the coffee table before turning to me, resting his back. "Why didn't you?"He pressed his lips together. "Had to prioritize the company because of you know, only child." He shrugs his shoulder before turning back to the TV. "Why this, though?"I shifted my eyes to the TV to see the Korean drama Law School on. "Wala lang, it's been in my list for so long already. I think it's cool.""You like law stuff?" he asked and I turn my head back to him."Kinda? It's fun to watch, nakakaaliw whenever nag aaway sila," I said, honestly. "Ikaw? I saw
My eyes widen as we park right in front of the house, excitement builds up in my chest with my eyes attached to the car parked in front of us."They have visitors? You look surprised," Christion slope from the driver's seat, and I quickly turned my head to him.I shrugged my shoulders and opened the door on my side, grabbing a hold onto my hand bag before we exited the car and entered the house.The Veridiano's demanded me to come home, visit them, and Chrisiton chose to come with. Sunday naman at ang sabi niya wala s'yang kailangan gawin sa office kaya hinayaan ko na lang.Pagpasok namin ng gate ay rinig na rinig namin ang ingay sa loob. May nagtatawanan at may nag uusap naman, lahat ng boses ay p
"They will be just behind us, 'di ba, Tita?" Kuya Andrey asked, convincing Carlos who's in his arms.I plastered a wide smile on my face before nodding my head. "Yes, of course. Don't cry na, ah?" I slide my hand back and forth on his back as he continuously sniffs his nose, he lifts up his hand and wipes his eyes like a tired baby before I slowly step back."Say bab-- ""No! No ba-bye!" Carlos exclaimed, holding a frown on his face before turning to his Dad and hugged him tightly."Sige na, we'll get going na," paalam ko at tumango lamang si Kuya bago ako tumalikod, at doon nagtagpo ang aming mata ni Chrisiton. Kaagad akong umiwas ng tingin at naglakad na patungo sa sasakyan niya, kung nasaan siya
"Didn't I tell you to stay in bed?"I roll my eyes as I walk towards the counter, with my laptop in my hands. "I've been thinking…""Doesn't it hurt?" he asks, teasing, as I get closer, and I ignore him, sitting on the tall chair, causing him to chuckle. "Okay, what have you been thinking?"He turns around to me, holding a plate of breakfast, and I place my laptop on the counter. "I want a job."His head nodded as his eyebrows rose. "What do you want to do?"I press my lips together as the tingles enter my stomach. He sounds supportive, I like it. "Well I have this page sa Facebook and an Instagram art account… What do you think about me openi

Trigger Warning: Ms. Carrie Rage__________"Hi."My lips quickly locked close as I heard my own voice breaking. I sat on the grass with silence surrounding me before I swallowed my saliva."'Di ko alam kanino humingi payo… Sana nandito kayo, 'no? Para may masasandalan ako sa mga ganitong oras," I said, looking down to their grave stones. "Natatakot ako."I force my lips a smile, and the ache begins to expand from my chest."'Di ko alam bakit pero masama kutob ko dito." I let out a sigh, and recalled the event that happened yesterday. "Kahapon… tinulungan ako ni Inez, kaibigan ko. Siya 'yong una nakaalam." Napalunok ako muli bago huminga ng malalim. "I took a pregnancy test."Nagsimula nang tumulo ang luha ko at bigla na lang mas lumamig pa ang ihip ng hangin. I turned my head to my right, to the grave stone beside my parents'."Baby," I whispered, and licked my lips before parting it. "May kapatid ka na…"Napapikit ako nang kaagad kong maramdaman ang
I quickly stepped on the breaks, panting. My chest pounding, and my hands shaking as it grips onto the steering wheel. Nagpatuloy na ang sasakyang muntikan kong mabangga, kaya't hinintay ko na lang siyang makalayo.Ilang segundo akong nanatili roon kahit malayo na ang naabot ng sasakyan, I took my time to breathe before going back to the road.I focused my attention on the driving, hoping that he doesn't call again. My attention was only focused on the road until I arrived in front of Apex. I parked near the driveway and checked my phone.Doon, nakita kong hindi na siya ulit nagtext, at munting kirot ang naramdaman ko kasabay ng relief. 8AM na, at panigurado nasa office na 'yon. Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa at pinaandar muli ang sasakyan at dumeretso sa subdivision kung saan nakatira ang mga Veridiano.Pagdating ko doon, ay naguguluhang mga mukha ang bumungad sa 'kin. "Mabuti at dumalaw ka, nasaan ba ang iyong asawa?" Lolo
Natulog siya sa kanila. Hindi siya umuwi dito. Buong gabi akong nag-isip, hindi kaagad nakatulog at maiyak-iyak na dahil sa nararamdamang guilt. Ito ba ang paraan na naisip niya bilang higanti? Deserve ko 'to kung gano'n.Pero hindi ko pa rin mapigilang malungkot. Kaya pag gising ko ng umaga, kaagad akong napa-tawag kay Inez at hindi niya na ako pinakinggan at dinala sa clinic."Stress," the Doctor said, returning his office. "The most possible reason is stress. Nalungkot ba kayo? Overwhelmed? Nagalit?"I sucked a small part of my lip from the inside before shifting my eyes to Inez, her eyebrows quickly rose before I slowly shifted back to Doctora, sitting in his chair and I nod my head softly. "Ayon. Misis, bawal na bawal po 'yang stress sa 'yo. Kahit less than two weeks ka pa, bawal pa rin po 'yan. Let us avoid whatever made you stress na lang po, ano?" Doctora calmly suggested, and all I could do is make a small nod. "Okay… kailan po
