1st Year, Highschool:
About to leave the library holding the books she borrowed, someone caught her eyes and attention all of a sudden. A supposed to be typical school day turned out to be a lucky day for her when she saw Thyago passed the hallway outside the library. With that, the familiar throb of her heart occurred again and she usually feel this every time he was around. A smile automatically showed her lips as her face brighten up. She was hoping she could chat and spend time with him so what she did is immediately went out of the library having the plan in mind. Filled with joy and excitement, she fastened her pace like she was almost running trying to reach him not wanting him to disappear in her eyesight. This might be her chance to be close with him she thought, but her happy smile suddenly vanished as she got disappointed when she saw Thyago met Elena along the way.
She stopped right through her track and stomped her foot in outrage out of frustrations. Of all people, why does Elena have to show up just to ruin her perfect plan? She heard Thyago sweetly greeted Elena and even invited her to hang out tonight. It was the Buena Consecha festival tonight and the whole town celebrates it every year for having a good harvest for the whole year and ahead. They usually held celebrations and parties in the town's plaza and inviting famous bands and celebrities to perform. She has plans to go with Macky and Hannah tonight but her plans suddenly changed when she saw Thyago. She was actually planning to invite him tonight but it's too unfortunate he has plans to invite her evil cousin to come with him. She wonders how Elena can manage to catch Thyago's attention without exerting too much effort? She was beautiful alright but that is the only good trait she has. Beyond that beautiful face is an ugly and evil personality. She was definitely disgusting and for the first time in her life, she never thought she'll felt jealousy over her cousin which is out of her vocabulary before. She was totally contented being who she is but with Elena having Thyago's attention, she suddenly wished she could switch places on her.
From afar, she saw them laugh together and seemed having a good conversation which upset her more. The sweet smile plastered on Elena's lips suddenly vanished and turned into a wry face when she accidentally saw her from afar. Elena's facing her way while she's far behind Thyago so the latter automatically had no idea about her presence. She never failed to catch the wicked sly smile formed on Elena's face as she looked straight through her eyes. She was not stupid to realized Elena was intentionally trying to make her jealous and the witch is completely succeeding. She whispered something to Thyago that made the latter gigled mischievously. He then whispered something back to Elena and that made the latter cock her brow then laugh aloud. That moment, she wanted to hit Elena's head with a bow and arrow bull's eye. She doesn't deserve Thyago's attention because she knew what type of girl her cousin is. She knew how she flirts and hangs out with different boys. At a young age, Elena is a wild and promiscuous girl. She smokes cigarettes and drinks alcohol. She even caught her kissing the team captain of the basketball team at the back of the school's gymnasium one time. For sure Thyago was not aware what kind of girl Elena is and she knew he will only break Thyago's heart in the end.
She saw them went to the locker area clasping each other's hands afterwards and there she was watching them walking away with pain and jealousy written through her eyes. She couldn't help to tightened her fist in disgust and frustrations. She could feel the hatred and irritation to her cousin Elena is going stronger and deeper. Her chance to be with Thyago got slipped away and that's because of Elena. She's simply a witch and she hates her so damn much.
"You know what, Bea? You should do something about your feelings for him..." She almost jumps in surprise when she heard someone talked behind her.
Out of nowhere, Macky just came out butting in. Is she that too preoccupied to not even notice the presence of her best friend? How did he manage to come closer to her without noticing him?
"Goodness, Mackie! You almost scared me to death!" She exclaimed that make Macky laugh at her reaction.
"Are you that too busy staring to Thyago and Elena to not even notice my presence uh?" He teased.
"Whatever!" She snapped then rolled her eyes.
"As I was saying, you should really do something about your feelings for Thyago." He told her.
"What do you mean? " She curiously asked.
"Catch his attention, befriend him, do something. Don't tell me you'll just gonna be content admiring him from afar? Let say, make him fall for your charm for goodness sake! Don't you want him to feel the same feelings you have towards him? Come on, Bea! You can do something about your feelings." Mackie said exaggeratedly with hand gestures.
"Ummm... Duh! That's actually what I'm doing?"
"And you've been doing that since fifth grade, just in case you didn't notice. Come on Bea, we're barely freshmen in high school and nothing's happening still. What I was suggesting is you should do more than that. Try different tactics because you see, what you're doing is not enough for him to catch his attention. You can be better than that, I know you do. You are beautiful inside and out, Bea. You just gotta change your wardrobe because your style is a little bit old-fashioned, you know. Anyways, what's the sense of me being your friend when I couldn't help you in that way right?" Macky faced her, grabbed her shoulders, and looked at her eye to eye.
She was forcing herself not to laugh because of the close proximity they have. They actually looked funny in that position and Macky being serious was really a funny sight to behold. Among the two best friend's of hers, Macky is the joker and funny one while Hanna is the frank and serious type.
"Don't tell me I gotta shop for new clothes because you know I won't. I'm on a tight budget and I can't afford expensive and branded clothes." She argued.
"Don't think about money, okay. Hannah and I have a lot of that." Macky boastfully stated that made her chuckled.
Well, it's true. Macky's parents owned an advertising company in the Capital while Hannah's family was into farm and cattle business. They owned the big pineapple plantation in the whole region and that made her the heiress. She was not only blessed with good and caring friends but she was also blessed with rich and chivalrous friends but she doesn't take that an advantage nor that's her reasons she befriended them. They were fun to be with and they were true friends that she can rely on.
"You know what, Bea? As your friend, it hurt us seeing you being like this. You're like a pathetic teenage girl drooling over her crush just being content with the simple attention you gain from him. I know it's painful but it's true. Come on, Bea. Do somethin'!" He said wickedly then snap his fingers right in front of her face. That actually left her thinking.
That day she went home having in mind what Mackie had told her. She knew he cared for her that's why he said those words. Yes, it true she been admiring Thyago since fifth grade and nothing happening still. He's right, she was like a stupid pathetic teenage girl drooling over her crush and being contented with the simple attention he gains from Thyago. Surely, it was not his intention to offend her, he was just opening her mind to a new perspective. Macky might have a point, she needs to change herself and do something to catch his attention. Besides, Mackie said they will help her in her mission so that night, she wrote again in her precious diary.
Dear Thyago's Note:

choosetoloveyouin silence...Forin silence I findnorejection,Ichoosetoloveyouin loneliness...For inlonelinessnooneownsyoubutme,Ichoosetoadoreyoufromadistance...Fordistancewillshieldmefrompain,Ichoosetokissyouinthewind...Forthewind isgentlerthanmylips,Ichoose to holdyouinmydreams...Forin mydreamsyouhavenoend.When I read that poem on a literature collection page online, it hit me too hard because that was actually what I felt towards your Master. I adore him from a distance, kiss him in the wind and hold him in my dreams. Yeah, I know, I'm a coward. Perhaps, just afraid to be rejected. You see your Master was so hard to reach when I'm just an ordinary girl with nothing to offer. He was every girl's dream when no one even notice me.
Yes, I was doing something to be close with him but it was not enough. What can I do? I'm not that pretty and hot just like Elena. I wish I could catch your Master's attention just like she does. I wish I can make him laugh and I wish he could give me his genuine smile and concern just like he does to Elena. Oh, I wish I was that too precious for him. But as you see, that's the only thing I have- Wishes and hopes...
Courage? That's probably what I needed. Macky advised me to try another tactic to catch his attention. He said what I was doing is not working, that I should do something more, that I can do better. Macky's too concerned for me as a friend that's why he gave me this suggestion and I think he's right, this time. I'm gonna do it and nothing gonna stop me from doing it!!!..

He couldn't help to smile as he watched his wife sleeping so soundly. She must have been tired of taking care of their child Augustus. Augustus was four months old now and he's so energetic and so adorable. Each and every day with him is a blessing. He was learning to smile spontaneously and tries copying movements and facial expressions now. He likes to play with others and gets upset when playtime stops. Until now he couldn't believe that he was a father now. He couldn't help to ask what he did right to deserve such a beautiful gift like Augustus. The cute baby he used to cuddle and play with, his tiny little hands and feet, his pouty lips, fluffy cheeks, and tiny adorable face. His smile could ease the weariness and sleepless nights he and his wife had towards taking care of him. His adorable yawn and cries, who would have thought he was his descendant? He never thought he would feel so much gratitude just by staring at him and by cuddling him. He acquired the face and looks of a Wi
Waking up in the morning lying across a familiar warm broad chest, his arms wrapped around her firmly as if afraid he would wake up to find her gone beside him, it's the best feeling ever. She had been waking up like this for days now since they were back together. She got used to this kind of feeling and she even loving it so much. Oh, how she loves waking up having his arms wrapped around her as his musky scent enveloping her. In his arms, it's like she can find her peace and her safe haven. A warm smile automatically painted her lips as she embraced him back firmly and sniffed his neck. Funny because it has been a habit of her sniffing and giving his neck gentle bites. Looks like she found her new favorite in his body parts. This is the same kind of contentment she has always dreamed of. Waking up with a warm smile painted her lips as she could feel her heart thumping in so much happi
She felt relieved when she woke up and recognized she was now in her private room in the hospital. The last time she remembers is she pass out after giving birth to her child in the delivery room. The happiness she felt when she heard the first cry of her baby and wanting to hold him in her arms was such an amazing feeling but she was too exhausted to move for she lost all her strength in delivering her precious baby. The last thing she could remember before she pass out was when the doctor told her that she delivered a healthy baby boy.Now that she got awaken, she suddenly felt excited to see and hold her baby and as her eyes roam around and started to look for a particular person she wanted to see as her heart suddenly melted by the scene she had captured with a warm smile slowly painted her lips, there's the man she loves now sitting on the bench located beside her bed while his head lies on the other side of her bed as he sleeps. This has always
With tears still running through her face, she continued reading the last page of her diary. Dear Thyago's Notes:Tonight, my heart was wallowing in pain. I feel like dying little by little. Why couldn't this feeling just go away 'coz it hurts a lot I can't take it any longer. It's official, Elena is now your Master's girlfriend. It should have been me, you know... Just wish I am but that was only in my dreams. He's the first man I ever wanted and the first one who made some havoc in my feelings in a good way. You see, you can't always get what you want. I knew I can't have him, that's the bitter truth... I feel so alone and lonely. Lonely and pained because of what I feel towards your Master and alone because I have no friends to turn to. My friends are upset and avoided me the whole week. It hurts because I felt like they've been too d
Dear Thyago's Note; I thought I was brave enough to fight towards winning your Master's heart. This is not just a deep crush, it is love I guess. This is strong and deep, I can feel it... Although I thought I can win him through hard work and patience, that not giving up is out of my vocabulary and that
Feeling confused, she turned her diary to another page and started reading on. Dear Thyago's Notes: Your Master chatted with me today and I definitely enjoyed being with him. Just wish we talked more longer than that. He actually caressed my cheek and his thumb gently massaged
