My lips pressed together. Sa lakas ng kaba at pagkataranta ay halos sabay magtaas-baba ang balikat namin ni Shiyuri.
"The fuck?!" she hysterically cussed. "What will we do? What will we do?!"
Pareho naming gindi alam ang gagawin habang tuloy pa rin ang pagkatok ni Third sa pinto.
"Hey, baby. I saw you. You don't need to change your clothes anymore. You look good in everything you wear, ain't that right? Your simplicity is beauty and I love it."
Natigilan ako mula sa pagkataranta. Simplicity? Is he referring to me? Third loves my simplicity? Just my simplicity?
"Fuck, Sarina, what now?!" may diin na bulong ni Shiyuri sa akin na mukhang ayaw lumapit sa pintuan.
"Let's not panic, okay?" Alam kong walang magagawa ng pagni-nerbiyos. Instead of asking hows, I better make a move.
"Ikaw na bahala rito. We will just hide for the mean time. Inform us once he's gone," utos ko kay Shi. Linapitan ko si Mr. Model at hinila siya sa kamay. "Follow me

My heart is beating so fast. I can feel my knees shaking, my lips trembling, and my uneven breathing. I can feel their presence behind me and I could not even look back."Mabuti naman at naisipan mong mag-take ng exam dito, Third? La Villora is very glad that you are a part of it now."Kitang-kita ko kung paano lumipad ang tingin ng mga estudyante lalong-lalo na ang mga kababaihan sa likuran ko, sa gawi ni Third. Hindi na ako magtataka. His overall feature can definitely catch everyone's eye. Whether a glimpse or a gaze, his image can always satisfy them."It's a pleasure to be here, Sir. Your well-known standard piqued my interest. Besides, there's a rumor that La Villora students are highly trained and educated to be responsible and respected individuals. And the most famous rumor about here is that . . . thia school consists the best of the writers. I can't wait to work with them soon."Halos nahigit ko ang aking hininga sa sinabi niya. Fish tea. He ca

What the freak . . ."H-hi..." Shiyuri's smile is shallow.Her face has always been chill, always been fierce. But now, horror and fear is evident in her eyes. Even the curve of her smile seems so fake. Isa siyang hinahangaang babae sa larangan ng pag-aartista pero sa sandaling ito, hindi niya kayang umakto at magpanggap. Indeed, even the most talented person has a weakness, usually it's their talent itself—their own happiness.Dinig na dinig ko ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko habang nakatingin sa kanilang dalawa. There is no escape for me now. Nakita na niya ako. Nakita na ako ni Third Montecarlo, hindi bilang isang Shiyuri kun'di bilang ako . . . bilang Sarina CruzI am completely clueless on what to react or, or what to do next. Kung aalis ba para maiwasan ang gulo, o mananatili na lang para hindi masyadong halatang ilag ako sa kanya. The latter is acceptable, but the former is easier to do. What's easier than running away, anyway? You don't

"Totoo, bakla?! Oh my God! Dapat talaga hindi ka na umuwi, naku!" As expected, Werdy got into explosion as I told him what just happened. "Paano na ngayon?"Huminga ako nang malalim at tinapik siya sa balikat. "Gusto ko ang nangyari, Werdy. Mabuting nakilala na niya ako nang sa gano'n ay hindi na ako magtatago. Although I'm not well-prepared, things went well. Tingnan mo ngayon, alam na niya ang existence ko kaya malaya na akong magpakita at magsalita. I'm now Sarina Cruz in his eyes."I can see sympathy on Werdy's reaction. "You deserve to be known, my bestfriend. You deserve the world.""Everybody deserves it." Ngumiti ako sa kanya. "Every living organism in this vast universe deserves the world. No one is an outcast. Sana matagal ko na iyong na-realize.""But it's not too late." Inakbayan ako ni Werdy. "I'm so proud of you, Sarina. Real talk 'to."Tumawa ako at mahina siyang hinampas. "Alam ko na 'yon, 'no. Proud din naman ako sa'yo, bestfriend.

The sweet aroma that filled the coffee shop enveloped my nose. I could not stop closing my eyes as it runs in my system and gave a sweet, satisfying feeling.Si Third na ang pumili ng upuan para sa aming dalawa. Sumunod na lang ako sa kanya at umupo nang ipaghila niya ako ng silya. He ordered two cups of cappuccino for both of us.Hindi masyadong matagal mula nang kinausap ko siya ay agad na rin siyang dumating. He's the one who suggested this place which is actually my favorite café.After the call earlier, Shiyuri asked me if I like her boyfriend. Little did she know that I already have been fallen in love to him for a matter of years. Nagkibit-balikat lamang ako at patay-malisyang inabot sa kanya ang cell phone niya. She didn't ask further questions after that because I entered the house immediately.Hindi niya dapat malaman. At hindi ko obligasyong ipaalam. Besides, wala akong balak agawin ang hindi akin. Tama nang nakasama ko si Third noon sa

Alas-otso na ng gabi nang dumating ako sa bahay. I wandered around while thinking how can I get away from all these shits. And now I'm home, I realized I cannot really runaway. I stand and I deal.Binuhay ko ang ilaw sa sala. Umupo ako sa mahabang sofa at hinayaang kagatin ako ng mga lamok. I want to feel numb once again."Pakalat-kalat ang mga lamok na may dalang dengue. Alam kong alam mo 'yon, pero walang silbi ang katalinuhan ng utak kung walang katalinuhan sa gawa."Nag-angat ako ng tingin at nakita ang kapatid kong nakasandal sa pader, nakahalukipkip at nakatingin sa akin."Shiyuri—""Don't," Shiyuri stopped me. "Nagalit ako sa ginawa mo. Nagkasala ka sa akin kaya ako nagsinungaling tungkol sa ginawa mong pagpapanggap. You betrayed me, I blamed you. Patas na tayo." Hindi pa ako sumasagot pero tumalikod na siya. Akmang aakyat na ako sa kuwarto nang muli siyang nagsalita. "May pagkain sa lamesa." At tuluyan na siyang umalis.Kumibot

This is an another part of the chapter of my life where I chose to runaway all over again. I chose to avoid him. I chose to escape. At this moment, that's how I wrote my destiny.For the first time in my life I let other people see my tears. Not that I want to, I just chose not to care. Gamit ang nanginginig na mga kamay ay pinunasan ko ang aking mga luha, pero hindi ko sila pinipigilang malaglag. With my bag on my shoulder and book on my left hand, I crossed the university's ground. La Villora care less about other people, but still, curiosity is in nature.I was just about to walk out of the gate when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. Nakayakap siya sa akin mula sa likuran, at sapat na iyon para muli akong panginigan ng kalamnan. Bumundol ng malakas ang aking puso dahil sa halu-halong emosyon. Naguguluhan ako, pero hindi ko alam kung bakit may saya sa aking puso."Was it you?" bulong niya malapit sa aking tainga. "Enlighten me."Alam kong naramdam

Ilang araw akong nanatili rito sa bahay. Mula sa hapong inihatid ako ni Duke dito ay hindi na ako lumabas. Mainit pa ang issue tungkol sa akin, idagdag pa ang dyaryong hawak-hawak ko.Nangunguna ang balita tungkol sa nangyari kumakailan lang. Mayroon akong litrato dito na kinuha noon sa plaza na sinamahan ng headline na: ISANG BABAE, NAKITANG KAMUKHANG-KAMUKHA NI SHIYURI CRUZ; RETOKADA RAW!Naiiling kong inilapag ang newspaper sa lamesa ng kusina. This is one of the reasons why I prefer fantasies. I don't care if they exist or not. At least I know from the first place that they are just out of imagination—a fiction. While narrative report, news writing, or any kind of journalism require facts.Truth is the backbone of journalism, and all journalists know that they need data or research to support any definitive claims they make, or quickly face reader skepticism. But this released newspaper copy made me look down on them. I'm annoyed. I'm angry and more th

"She really did it," hindi makapaniwalang saad ni Werdy habang ngumunguya ng Nagaraya. "I can't believe it, bakla. Baka naman part lang ng pagiging aktres niya 'yon? Baka keme-keme lang, ha! Kunwari mabuting tao, nagbabait-baitan lang pala. At ikaw pa talaga na kapatid niya ang nililinlang niya?! Juskolord! Isa pa, alam niyang sikreto iyon. Dapat sana tinanong ka muna kung gusto mo bang ipaalam sa iba ang tungkol dito. She did not consider you. She just acted all up on her own!"Hinintay ko munang malunok ko ang Wiggles sa bibig ko bago ako nagsalita. "Shiyuri is not that evil, Werdy. And so am I. Kambal kami at alam namin ang ikot ng bituka ng isa't-isa. She was sincere. And for not asking me of it is okay to just tell our secret like that, it was not really a good decision. But I'm sure she did not mean to disregard me.""Hay nako, masyado mo siyang pino-protektahan. Santa ka ba?" Umikot ang mata niya. "Basta, kapag may ginawa siyang masama sa iyo, back up mo 'ko, fr
