Ang sarap nito.” Saad ni Kendra na kain lang ng kain. I am happy that she is enjotying but what I saw earlier bothers me. “Hey! Dahan dahan baka mabulunan ka. Don’t worry we’ll buy everything you want from here.” Saad naman ni Kuya Gab sa kanya. “Ikaw Lia don’t you like to eat? You want me to buy you something?” Tanong ni Kuya Gab. “Oh!

Hindi parin maalis yung tingin ko kay Kendra I know she’s hurt with what she witnessed earlier but she’s not saying anything nor shows that she’s angry with Fernan. Natatakot lang ako na kahit sa tingin ko mabait si Fernan but what if she’s in a toxic relationship with him. I can’t af

Why won’t we try it today? Hmmm? Love?” His words made me shivers.“Well I remember I did told you that -- but – “ I stuttered.“You look so tense. We did it once already.” Nabingi yata ako saglit sa sinabi niya. I was about to say something but I got shocked when he pulled me up a bit making me tiptoed. He kissed me.

I decided to took a half bath to freshen’ up myself. After kong gawin yung night routine ko tumabi na ako kay Ethan. Before I close my eyes, napatitig ako sa kanya. Aside from admiring his perfect feature looking so fine while in a deep sleep, naisip ko yung napag-usapan namin ni Kendra kanina. “Baka hindi ko rin kayanin kung darating ang araw na magbago ang lahat sa atin.” Saad ko as I hug my left arm on his waist at sumubsob ako sa dibdib niya. It isn’t always happy in a relationship and yes kung si Kendra natatakot sa mga nangyayari sa kanila ni Fernan ganoon rin ako.
