"Sir Romeo!” slurred a drunken familiar voice—hiccuping. It was Roselyn.

I knew it was her. Even when drunk, her voice still carried that sweetness. I immediately stepped out from where I had been hiding.

“Roselyn, what are you doing here?” I asked.

I didn’t like her sudden appearance, especially in that state. But I couldn’t deny the slight relief I felt. Her arrival came just in time—if she hadn’t shown up, Romeo’s aggression might’ve gone too far.

“Via… Vianna May!” she whined and threw her arms around me.

“My friends left me! I don’t have any money!” she slurred, collapsing her full weight onto my shoulder.

“Get a hold of yourself, Roselyn,” I scolded.

She couldn’t even stand properly. Her breath reeked of rotten guava.

“If you’d just gone home earlier, we wouldn’t be disturbed like this!” Romeo snapped as he pulled out his phone. I knew he was booking a ride for her.

Roselyn’s lips trembled, her eyes brimming as she stared at Romeo, who had his head lowered.

Soon her ride arrived

    "You shouldn’t have come back, Diego. You shouldn’t have stirred up those painful memories."I looked like a fool, pouring out all my pain to the cold bathroom wall in front of me. I didn’t even mind the freezing water continuing to fall over my body, soaking me through.“Vianna May, what on earth are you doing?!”Mom suddenly appeared. She turned off the shower and held my shoulders, turning me around to face her. My eyes met the sorrow in hers.“I know it hurts to remember the past. It hurts me, too, sweetheart, because I’m the reason we ended up in that situation. I was foolish… blinded by a love that was already wrong!”“I’m sorry, Mom… because of me, those memories came rushing back again,” I said, eyes downcast.“It’s not your fault. We both knew this day would come. Sooner or later, we’d be forced to face those painful memories—no matter how hard we try to forget.”She smiled, but her eyes still shimmered with unshed tears.“What matters now is that we’re no longer the same peo

    YEAR 2009 (continued)"Vianna May!" our neighbor called out, breathless and visibly distressed. "It’s your Mom!""What happened to Mom?" I cried, my voice trembling. I clutched Diego's hand tighter."She was rushed to the hospital! Go to her—now!"We immediately flagged down a taxi the moment our neighbor told us which hospital she was taken to.I couldn’t stop crying the whole ride. The guilt gnawed at me. If I hadn’t done what I did earlier, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.If I hadn’t left... maybe I could’ve done something. Perhaps I could’ve protected her—from that monster I called my father.The taxi hadn’t even come to a full stop when I threw the door open and jumped out, leaving Diego behind. I rushed to the information desk, frantic, tears streaming down my face as I asked where my mom was. The nurse could barely understand me through my sobs."Vianna May, calm down," I heard Diego say gently behind me. "What’s your Mom’s name?""Violita Meranda," I choked out, still in te

    YEAR 2009 (continued)My quiet reflection was interrupted by laughter echoing from the pool. Some of my classmates, members of the school’s swimming team, were splashing and playing, full of energy.Among them was Diego, my classmate and secret crush. He was the one reason I could still find a smile despite everything.Just seeing his handsome face, flushed slightly from the sun and exertion, brought me joy. Especially when he’d glance in my direction, those fleeting moments warmed my heart.After class, I always lingered around the pool—to watch him from afar, unnoticed.I stole one last look at Diego before standing up and walking away, carrying the image of his face with me, along with a faint smile on my lips.I walked home slowly. If I had anywhere else to go, I wouldn’t even think of going back to that house. But I didn’t. My grandmother hated us, too. If my grandfather were still alive, he would’ve taken me in with open arms.Unfortunately, he was long gone, and I was left with

    My whole body trembled with anger, frustration, and pain.Tears blurred my vision as we walked through the gate. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.It felt like I couldn’t breathe.“Sweetheart…” Mom whispered, wrapping her arms around me.My arms hung lifelessly at my sides. I couldn’t even bring myself to hug her back, even as she silently cried with me. She knew it wasn’t just Erna’s cruel words that broke me—it was the memories. The memory of my worthless father and the pain he caused, not just to me, but to Mom, too.“Vianna May… Violy… Come inside,” came Chona’s soft, hesitant voice. We hadn’t even noticed her following us.She gently guided us into the house and helped us settle onto the sofa. Without another word, she fetched us a glass of water and handed one to each of us.“Thank you, Chona,” Mom said hoarsely.I sat between them, feeling the weight of their concern. Both of them placed their hands on my trembling back and shoulders, comforti

    My eyes fell on our clasped hands—mine and Diego's.“I’ll do the laundry! Your soft hands might get scratched,” he blurted, hastily stuffing the towel into his pocket.I shook my head with a faint smile. “Suit yourself,” I muttered as I opened the door.“Thanks, Diego,” I added softly before shutting it behind me and running toward the shop.The rain poured relentlessly. I glanced back—Diego’s car was still in the same spot.“Rainy morning, Vianna May!” Damian called out cheerfully.“Good morning, Damian,” I replied with a smile. “Any updates about Gino?” I asked as I closed my umbrella and placed it on the stand.“Still nothing. I’m getting worried about that kid.”“Don’t stress too much.” Gently patting his shoulder.“Good morning,” came a sweet voice behind us. We turned at the same time.“Roselyn, good morning,” I said, returning her smile. “Damian, this is Roselyn—our new workmate.”“Hello, Damian,” Roselyn greeted politely.“We’ll head inside now,” I said. “Come on, Roselyn. I’l
