Chapter 23 | Greet
Walang 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.

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

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

Chapter 28 | LostMarcus said we'd talk about it after breakfast, but I wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast with him, and even more so this morning. I was in such a bad mood that I couldn't even bear listening to him speak to me. He tried everything to lighten my mood, but nothing worked. With a cold stomach, I ate my breakfast and waited for him to join me in the living room. I'd already done what he wanted, so I was hoping he'd finally openly admit to me now.“Aren’t you going to get ready first?” Marcus asked when he came near me.I swayed my head. “Hindi ako papasok hangga’t hindi natin ‘to napag-uusapan.”He sighed. “Don’t be stubborn, Ian.”“Stubborn?&rdq

Chapter 29 | LightLumipas ang mga araw pero para bang tumigil na ang oras sa akin.Wala na akong ibang matandaan kung hindi ang mga pagtatalo namin ni Marcus nitong mga nakaraang araw. Hindi na tugma ang mga desisyon namin. Wala na ang dating pagsasama na para bang may malaking pader na umusbong sa pagitan namin. Hindi na kami magkaisa tulad na noon na nadadaan pa sa usap at lambing.“It’s not their fault, Ian,” he kept on convincing me, “I told you already, it was me who first initiated to help them!”“Oo nga, kaya nga nakikiusap ako ngayon sa ‘yo na tigilan mo na ‘yang help mo dahil ako na ang gagawa ng paraan para sa pamilya ko—”“I told you it’s fine

Chapter 30 | Done While my eyes were still closed, I gradually lifted my head. My skin felt the cold water dripping all over my recently washed face. When my nerves had settled down, I let out a heavy sigh. My gaze was drawn to my reflection in the mirror in front of me, but I couldn't stare at myself for too long. My current state was such a horrible sight to behold, I didn't like who I had become. I was anxious throughout Arist's entire homecoming party because the memories that I’d buried deep all came back at once as if they just got released from a cage and were hungry for freedom. This... entire place was my biggest source of anxiety. This place, which I had only visited once, had such an impact on me that it triggered both my mind and body. I never asked Arist about his search for his biological parents be

Chapter 31 | StealI'd been touring Troyen for the last four consecutive days since I had to attend the orientation set for recently recruited models of the casino, but my eyes still couldn't get used to the casino's whole surroundings.This was the first place I had visited after a long time being imprisoned inside our old apartment and I admit that this was a bit too much for me to process. The casino always had numerous guests, it never had any empty seats, and I kept on practicing myself on how to properly communicate and handle such crowds.My attention was drawn to the magnificent interior design of the whole casino, everything was glamorous from the floor up to the ceiling as I entered the lobby. It was so sophisticated that I couldn’t decide which part to describe first. I already went to the oth
