LOGINSince she was sixteen, Sydney Rae Salvador has been in love with Clyren Zeye Matteo. But that's not how he ever saw her. He was constantly present but never hers, he was her older brother's best friend. Sydney quietly loving him, while he loved other girls. Then everything changed one night. She became pregnant even though she had no idea what it meant to him. She kept her pregnancy a secret. She wished to avoid making him feel obliged to stay. She also became irrationally angry with him. However, she secretly missed him when he wasn't present. She was simply seeking things, it turned out, and she wanted Clyren close to her most of the time. Months later, her brother discovered that she was pregnant. He got angry with Clyren and confronted him but Clyren already knew. He had been waiting for Sydney to tell him herself. After that, Clyren took care of her. He was always there. Then one day, when she was six months pregnant, she asked him to buy her a mangosteen that she was craving. He went out, but he never came back. She gave birth alone. For years, there was no sign of him. Four years later, her twins were already toddlers. At the airport, her son had an accident. At that exact moment, she ran into Clyren again. He was checking on her son’s head, which was covered in blood. She begged him to help their son, so they rushed to the hospital. What happened to Clyren? Do second chances really exist?
View MoreAs soon as I got out of the taxi, I found myself standing in front of a tall glass building—the kind that looked more like a hotel than a health center. For a moment, I actually thought I was in the wrong place. The structure was sleek and modern, with a small garden on the side and automatic glass doors that slid open every few seconds.Then I saw the sign: “Prenatal Care for First-Time Mothers – Early Pregnancy Program.”Okay, I’m at the right place.I looked up for a second and took a deep breath before walking inside.Tomorrow, I’d be flying back to the Philippines. Ynari wanted to come with me today, but she had some last-minute shopping to do. Honestly, I didn’t mind going alone. Somehow, it felt right—like this was something I needed to do by myself.But it was actually her idea for me to attend.“Go na, please. It’s just one session, there’s nothing to lose,” she told me last night, hands on her hips while I was lying on the bed, already half-asleep from exhaustion.“Come on,
My phone buzzed, instantly catching my attention. It was a message from Ynari.Ynari: Are you free today, Capt? There’s an emergency. We need you here.I quickly typed back.Me: What happened?Ynari: Captain Geron isn’t feeling well. No one else is available to take over.I sighed quietly. Maybe I really have to fly today. I told myself I needed to be in the one place that always felt safe to me.Me: I’ll be there.“Tara, let’s eat,” Kuya Kent called out.But I stood up, brushing the back of my pants. “I have to go, kuya. There’s an urgent flight,” I said.He looked at me, his face turning serious. “What happened?”“I need to fill in for someone. It’s an emergency.”“Are you sure you can handle it? Are you ready?”I raised an eyebrow and smiled a little. “You know I’m always ready.”He smiled back and nodded, completely understanding. Of course he did — he’s a pilot too. He knows how days like this can suddenly happen.After that, I moved fast. I only had about an hour to get ready an
Ever since the baby was born, the house had slowly turned quiet.Kuya Kent and the boys weren’t around anymore—Kent was busy with his family, taking care of his wife and daughter. Wero, Kael, and Justine were busy with their own lives.And Clyren? I heard he was always at Kuya Kent’s house. Always there to check on Bea, to check on the baby.Even Mom and Dad were barely home, drowning in their work. Most of the time, it was just me left in the house. I didn’t go to work either. My body wouldn’t let me. It felt too heavy, like it didn’t want me to get up from bed.It had been a week since I last saw Clyren at the hospital. A full week of no texts, no glances, no calls—nothing to make me believe there was still something between us.And yes, I’d long accepted there was nothing… but why did it still hurt this much?I stayed in my room the whole day. Rain poured outside, as if the sky was sharing the weight in my chest. I sat on my bed, hugging a pillow, quietly watching the curtains sway
I woke up with a slight ache in my neck, the kind you get when you sleep too long without meaning to. My eyes slowly adjusted to the soft light slipping through the curtains. The bed felt warmer than usual, like someone had tucked me in not too long ago. I sat up carefully, running my hand through my messy hair. My head felt heavy, but my stomach felt even heavier. I stood up and walked out of the room. The house was quiet. Too quiet. My steps carried me to the kitchen. For some reason, I expected to see him there—maybe because I was so used to it. Seeing him first thing in the morning, either in the kitchen or on the couch, pretending not to notice me. But the kitchen was empty. No Clyren. Even the usual plate and mug he used weren’t there. I stood by the counter for a while, not really sure what I was waiting for. My appetite disappeared before it even had a chance to come. Out of habit, I opened the fridge, but the hunger just wasn’t there anymore. With a long sigh, I shut
I sat on the cold bathroom floor, my knees pulled tight against my chest, staring blankly at the pregnancy test in my trembling hands. Two lines. Clear. Undeniable. Irreversible.My stomach turned, my chest grew heavier as fear sank deeper into my mind. Questions came rushing, crashing into each ot
My flight was delayed. Again.These past few days, it had been the same story—delays, reschedules, cancellations. Always some big reason, some sudden announcement. I’d been stuck at home for three weeks. Three whole weeks. It almost felt like a vacation—except I was rotting inside that house.I sig
I was just lying on my bed, my mind focused on the book in my hands. It had been two weeks since Clyren and I went to his hospital, and we hadn’t seen each other since. Honestly, I had no plans to dwell on it. There was no point. Nothing to discuss. But the longer I lay there, the heavier this une
