Mysterious 49: So-Called Friend
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.
“Hi, Drey! Missed me already?” Aris mockingly asked me as his smile reached his ears, showing both of his eye-catching dimples in the process.
He was holding what I assumed to be my dad’s cellular phone. His confident composure and somewhat conceited aura were still with him even though he was already in front of my father.
What the hell! What is he doing there? Didn’t he go home yet? And how did he know where to meet my dad and brother—and why would he even meet them in the first place? My goodness!
I even asked Mom where they were, and now, I would soon find out that Aris was also there… joining them as if he was a close family member? Oh my God, I knew my dad so well!
Aris, what are you thinking? You have to go back to where you came from, now! I wanted to shout, but I

Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.“Drey, wake up! I miss you so much.” I heard someone whispered through my ears.My sleep was interrupted when that someone hugged me on my bed like I was his fleecy pillow. I hadn’t yet opened my eyes but I already knew who exactly it was.“Hmm… I miss you too,” I whispered in drowsiness. It was as if my every eyelash weighed more than it should. My head was a little bit vague too that I just wanted to continue burying myself underneath the warmth of my comforter.I was exhausted and this feeling made me want to sleep all day. I still couldn’t open my eyes so I just embraced him after playfully messing with his hair. I even placed my right thigh on top of him, imprisoning his body.“But I wanted to sleep more, Nickos. Your shoes are already in your room waiting for you,” I t
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 51: Just A Reminder
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. Had Dad lost the deal on purpose? I was not looking at my reflection in the mirror, but I was sure as hell that my face had been enveloped by a quizzical look. I did not doubt Aris’s skills, let alone his overconfidence and massive ego, but no one had ever defeated my father when it comes to playing golf. No one! Like Aris who was an all-time champion in car racing—well, minus the recent time—Dad was an all-time champion too. There was even a huge storage room here in our mansion that only contained all his trophies in golf. He literally conquered the golf world, I must say. No one could defeat him, and I would never even have any second thoughts that someone was already born to steal his legendary history. Then, I furrowed my forehead. But if the answer to my question was yes, then why? And what would be his reason for letting Aris beat the hell out of him when the latter was just a stranger he only met today? Me—being into the picture—wasn’t enough reason
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 52: Cryptic Pleasure
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. Several days had passed in an instant. Hours went by in a blur. Tomorrow would be Aris’ birthday and I still did not know what to do. It was as if I had no options to consider. I was too bemused. It felt like hammering my head over and over again—trying to think of what else could be my perfect gift for him, aside from the sphere-shaped black-pendant necklace I had already given him. It was given to me by Uncle Jim when he saw me crying on the day I left Aris in his El Nido villa. Uncle Jim said that it was his lucky charm throughout, and the said necklace would also bring me… true love. “Take this necklace and don’t lose it, Drey. No matter what, this will take you to the right path following true love,” Uncle Jim handed me a black-pendant necklace while I was seated in the front seat of our family car. I was crying, but I found the design awesome. Securing the necklace on my palms, I was controlling my tears from falling, but those were still freely stream
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 53: The Right To Know
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.I found myself smiling on my bed like an idiot after my recollection. This smile holds lots of meaning and virtue because I had never been this happier. I did not want to compare, but Ivan did not lend time to play even once with my brother.For that, I loved Aris even more. I knew he was much better than the Aris I first encountered.He was much more than a plain Casanova. You could blame him, judge him, or even screw him for a thousandth time because of his damn massive ego and how highly he always thought about himself, but there was a hidden gem in his heart. At any rate, I was such a blessed woman to be able to bring that one out.Yes, he was one hell of a womanizer—but indeed—a womanizer with a heart. A heart with the purest intentions for me, now and for the next days to come. Truthfully, I thanked God because He used me as a medium to make Aris realize the real meaning of true love.Aris was a Casanova—the hilarious Casanova I learned to love despite what
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 54: Silly Baby Brother
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.Stepping closer to Nickos, I almost knelt to level my height on him while gently messing with his jet-black hair. Fortunately, he wasn’t suspecting me of anything after seeing me in front of the bedroom door of our parents.Nickos was an intelligent kid, but when it came to his physique, I must admit that he was kind of smaller compared to other eleven-year-old kids. He was shy and would not easily join a peer of his classmates—absolutely an introvert.I wanted to believe that he was just a late bloomer, but Mom told me that Nickos was born with too many complications while living his first few months in an incubator. He was so tiny, and Nickos nearly died when he was just a toddler. For almost all his life, he was confined in a hospital room.My brother used to be a survivor way back then, and I hoped that he would get taller during or after his puberty stage. Who knows? There was always this phrase about ‘when puberty hits you hard,’ and it could apply to Nicko
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 55: Reincarnated Cupid
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.// July 19, 2016For the first time in history, Drey uploaded a live video on her Famebook account. She was with that Aris Sandoval in El Nido, Palawan.As far as I could remember, he was the same towering guy who stalked us in the airport three weeks ago, asking unstoppably about the mermaid painting that was hand-painted by my sister.The other people might not observe this, but from the video, I could see how Drey’s eyes were sparkling, and those made her look even more vibrant. Of all the people, I knew her and how she had always been around.It was the first time I saw her blissful eyes once more after her breakup with that nonsense, stupid and user Ivan. Today, I was able to notice the glow on her cheeks again, and my sister was so pretty, even though she had just woken up.The moment I saw how she responded to Aris and how she dragged me away back from the airport three weeks ago, there was something odd about it, but that only made me feel excitement towa

Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.Seriously? I didn’t know how to react. I was just crying a while ago, but I was all-out smiling now. Nickos was not easy to read after all, and it made me think differently about him.Nickos wasn’t who I knew he was.My brother was just full of secrets. I might have only underestimated him, but he was unbelievably the clever one.Still smiling, I returned his diary inside his cabinet with a promise that I would not read the other confessions written there nor touch it again. I would not dare to flip a single page anymore if I would still want to retain Nickos’ trust in me.How I wished I didn’t leave suspicious marks at all. For that, I double-checked if the way I folded the banner was still the same as how it was before I spread it on the floor. But there was no way I would be totally sure.Now I know the reason why Charie called Mom a few days ago. Mom even told her not to tell me the truth and expect the reward as soon as possible. It was related to this large
Mysterious Obsession Mysterious 57: Rampant Clatters
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V. Melody is a ten-year-old kid who has gotten so close to me. She was only a six-year-old stray kid when her path led her to the orphanage. She had no parents, no food, and no shelter. But now, she is a consistent honor student and is already in Grade 4. It was another proof that your past could never define your future. “I just missed you,” she answered. I wasn’t seeing her right now, but I knew that Melody was pouting her lips. “Is it really me, or is it Nickos that you truly missed?” Now, it was my time to tease her. I knew for a fact that her face was getting rosy at the mention of my brother. She had a crush on Nickos. And every time my brother and I would visit the orphanage to give gifts, Melody would always hide from him after giving him a love letter—well, handed by another kid since Melody had no courage to face Nickos. Sadly, my brother didn’t feel the same way. It wasn’t because he didn’t like Melody at all, but because Melody was taller and Nicko
