Chapter 19 | Fear
"Naks, blooming," halakhak ni Kurt nang nakita niya akong bumaba mula sa ikalawang palapag ng kanilang upahan.
Pinilit kong magseryoso ngunit nakatakas pa rin ang aking ngiti.
Tulad ng mga nagdaang araw ay sabay kami ni Kurt pumunta sa karinderya. Maliwanag na ang langit hudyat ng panibagong araw. Hindi ko nga lang mawari kung bakit tila ba mas magaan na ang aking loob kaninang paggising na kahit pa siguro tuksuhin ako ni Kurt buong magdamag ay hindi ako maiinis.
"We?" tukso pa niya at siniko ang kaliwa kong braso, "hindi ka pa nagkukwento sa 'kin tungkol sa nangyari kahapon."
"Tulad ng sinabi mo, mag-usap kami, kaya nag-usap kami."
"Sus, Ian! Sa tagal kitang kai

Chapter 20 | Favor When I was younger, I was prone to letting things slip. It was simple for me to disregard things, no matter how wrong they seemed, because no one ever spoke out against it in our household. They claimed it was a form of discipline, and most family households had inherited it as well... but even as a child, I sensed deep down that violence wasn't right. I couldn't recall everything, but the emotion I experienced every time my mother yelled furiously at us lingered in my soul like a deep untreated scar. The only thing I hoped for before was for it to end as quickly as possible. I didn't pay attention to her statements, and I couldn't digest anything anyway since fear consumed my system. My sister definitely had it worse. Unlike me, she experienced physical harm and it would always happen whenever

Chapter 21 | GoEven after a few seconds had transpired, none of the three of us began to talk. I sensed that they were still shocked by my presence since they didn't see me coming earlier. The cool December breeze hit our skin, making me feel slightly uncomfortably cold. When I got outside, I was literally dressed in an oversized white shirt and knee-length shorts. The weather was irritating me, and the fact that these two refused to speak irritated me more.Kurt blinked repeatedly, while Marcus remained still. I grew impatient with waiting so I asked again, “Hello? Magsasalita ba kayo o ano?”“Wait lang, nagulat kasi ako,” Kurt hissed, “pero ie-explain ko sa ‘yo mamaya. Aalis na kasi sila Marcus.”“Okay,&rdquo
Lover of Mine Chapter 22
Chapter 22 | Hanap As we entered the rooftop garden, we were greeted by the cold December wind. The wind was definitely different from the cold felt in Manila; the temperature here in Tagaytay, despite being chilly, was comforting. As I slowly approached the rails, I happily embraced the coldness of the night. The rooftop was home to a variety of plants that I was unfamiliar with, as well as bright lights hung above us. I unconsciously gripped the bars, causing my hands to shiver; it was freezing! Because my skin couldn't endure the coolness, I opted not to touch it again. As an alternative, I let my elbows rest on the bars. I squeezed myself as I leaned forward to take in the night view of Tagaytay. The city resembled a parallel of the sky with all of the establishments lit up like stars. When I looked up, I not

Chapter 23 | GreetWalang ibang tao sa sala kung hindi ako, sina Aphro, mama, papa, lolo at ang bisita ko umanong si Marcus. Lumabas si Aphro sa terrace habang busy si mama paupuin si Marcus sa sofa. Si papa naman ay na sa tabi ni lolo na nakaupo sa harap ng dining table at mukhang abala rin si papa aliwin si lolo.“Hindi naman nasabi ni Ian na may bisita pala siyang dadating,” natatawang sabi ni mama kay Marcus na halatang hindi komportable sa pag-upo.Hawak niya ang mga regalong para sa akin daw na kanilang hinanda. Naka-polong maroon lang si Marcus at black jeans ngunit dahil sa maayos niyang porma at mukha ay hindi magkakamali ang kahit sino na mayaman ang isang ‘to. Sana lang talaga at hindi siya kinulit ng mga tao sa labas kanina dahil nakakahiya para sa akin iyon.
Lover of Mine Chapter 24
Chapter 24 | NotificationMabuti na lamang at hindi na ako muling kinausap ng sinoman sa aking pamilya tungkol kay Marcus sa mga sumunod na araw. Wala rin naman akong masasabi sa kanila dahil totoo namang walang namamagitan sa aming dalawa. Ni hindi ko nga matukoy kung magkaibigan ba kami ngayon o ano, kahit ako ay hindi rin sigurado kung ano ba kami sa isa’t isa… ngunit ang alam ko lang sa aking sarili ay komportable ako tuwing kasama siya.Wala namang kaso sa akin kung dadalas ang aming pag-uusap at pagkikita, tanging ang mga mapanghusgang mga tao lamang na nakabantay sa amin ang lagi kong inaalala na nagiging dahilan din upang mas lumayo ako kay Marcus. Hindi ko rin maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit tila sobrang apektado ako sa iniisip ng iba tungkol sa akin. Hindi mapakali ang damdamin ko tuwing iniisip ang mga bagay na ito at hindi ko rin

Chapter 25 | Sure Alas tres na ng tanghali ngunit hindi naging hadlang ang init ng sikat ng araw sa pagtatalo namin ni Marcus sa gitna pa ng mahabang hagdan ng museum. Pababa na ako kanina nang nahabol at napigilan niya. Hindi ko rin matukoy kung bakit bigla akong napatalikod at mag-isang umalis. Maaaring nadala ako ng galit at tila sabay-sabay pumasok sa isip ko ang maraming katanungan. Marahas kong sinuklay ang aking buhok na nagulo dulot ng ihip ng hapong hangin habang pinapakinggan ang mga salita ni Marcus. "She's been messaging my account since Christmas ended, but I don't usually open my account so kamakailan ko lang napansin. I replied because I accidentally saw her message, I didn't want to appear rude to your relative. Besides, she only asked if I was the gu

Chapter 26 | RatI literally did exactly what I said.I didn't go home on Saturday, and I asked Marcus yesterday if he was going to be busy today. When I told him I wanted to spend my Saturday with him, he was both confused and surprised. He had always been the one to ask me out before, so me making the first move was like a cultural reset for him. He was so taken with what I did that he called last night to plan our activities for today.We went to bed around two o'clock in the evening and planned to go out after lunch. Despite the time we ended our call, I hoped he got his eight hours of sleep. In my case, I had a wonderful sleep, presumably because I was looking forward to today. I couldn't express how happy I was just to be able to spend Saturday with him. We had a lot of activities planned for today, so I decid
Lover of Mine Chapter 27
Chapter 27 | Lie I assumed Janella and I were about the same height, but she appeared to be a few inches taller than me due to the black heels she was wearing. With just one look, I knew she came here just to drag me down until I reached Tartarus. She wore a fancy white panama hat over her head and a fancy white blouse with golden embroidery as designs on it. Her black high waist trousers were perfectly ironed, and she wore a gold chain around her waist for extra detail. She held her Chanel bag lazily, as if she was intending to insult me without saying anything. I couldn’t clearly see her eyes because of the sunglasses she was wearing, but the smirk on her face was enough for me to feel so belittled. Her lips were red plus she had a complete set of jewelries as her final flex. Her hair was tied in a low bu
