Chapter 31
Tarnish
Ilang araw ang lumipas at patuloy na nagkulong si Primo sa bahay niya. Empty bottles of beer were scattered from the dining table to the floor. Nakayupyop si Primo sa lamesa, his arms were his head’s pillow.
Hindi pa rin maalis sa isipan niya ang nangyari hindi lang sa bahay ni Heather kundi pati na rin ang tawag na natanggap niya pagkatapos noon.
“Hello?” walang buhay na sagot ni Primo sa tawag ng kaibigan.
“Primo…I know you’re not in a good place right now and it will be insensitive of me to ask you this but, I really need it. Sa tingin ko, nabigyan naman na kita ng sapat na oras para gawin iyong pinapagawa ko sa ’yo,” wika ni Raniel sa kab

BrokenMalalim na ang gabi. Lahat ng tao ay nakatulog na. But there are two people who couldn’t sleep.One’s lying on the bed, crying. While the other one is sitting in front of a laptop.Pakiramdam ni Heather ay parang pinira-piraso ang puso niya sa sobrang sakit na nararamdaman. At sa mas lalong pagtagal ng nararamdaman niyang ito, mas lalo niyang naiintindihan ang dahilan.She has fallen for Primo. That time when he tried to kiss her, Heather had already developed feelings for him. And she was stupid enough to think that it could be stopped. That she could prevent herself from falling even more.Because she fell already. She

“A-Ate?” Heather was beyond shock when she saw her sister in the flesh. Kinusot niya pa ang mga mata ng ilang beses para makatiyak na hindi siya namamalikmata.And she’s not! Her sister is really here. In front of her! Hindi siya namamalikmata!“Anong ginagawa mo rito?” She was more nervous than surprised. Sigurado si Heather na hindi narito ang Ate niya para kamustahin siya. It must be very important for her to actually visit her.“Margot Serrano. Sino siya?” diretsahang tanong ni Driana na nagpalaki sa mga mata ni Heather.“H-How did you know her?”Heather ’s ashen face gave Driana a hint that the woman might be telling the truth. With her poker face on, she continued talking without a filter.“Margot Serrano told me that you’re flirting with her boyfriend and th

“Ano’ng ginagawa mo rito?” tanong ni Primo habang magkasalubong ang kilay na pinagmamasdan ang babaeng kaharap.Margot’s smile wasn’t fazed by his tone. “I’m here to visit you, duh.” Margot rolled her eyes and pushed Primo so she could enter his house.She stopped walking near the sofa and faced Primo who was stunned at how comfortable she was acting — like it’s her own house.“I brought your favorite.” Tinaas niya ang paper bag na bitbit. “Hindi ka na pumapasok ng opisina. Did something happen?” she asked while roaming around.Umiling si Primo saka kinuha ang paper bag na inaabot ni Margot sa kaniya.
Picturesque Mistake Chapter 35
Heather doesn’t know where to go. Pagkatapos niyang ihatid si Natty sa orihinal nitong pupuntahan, nagmaneho na siya nang walang destinasyon.Natty invited her to spend the night at her Aunt’s house but she refused. Ang pagbalita sa kaniya ni Natty ay malaking tulong na. She did not want to take advantage of Natty’s kindness. At isa pa, baka may makakilala sa kaniya — since laganap na panigurado ang mukha niya sa social media, at mai-post pa siya. Malalaman kung nasaan siya at baka madamay sa gulo ang pamilya ni Natty.Paparazzis tend to cause commotion and not everybody likes that.She stopped on the side of the road — may damuhan sa kaniyang gilid. She looked at it and it calmed her. Seeing the grass being blown by the wind w
Picturesque Mistake Prologue
“What is this all about? Your boyfriend? Didn’t I told you to break up with him? Noong una, inaamin ko, naisip kong magandang impluwensya ang lalaking iyon sa’yo—sa’tin. But clearly, he’d been nothing but a dilemma! Nagiging hadlang siya diyan sa pagiging FA mo at kung magtatagal pa ang relasyon ninyo, everybody will know about you and it will be a big disgrace to the family!” Napaigtad si Heather nang lumakas ang boses niya. Madalas siyang sigawan ng ina pero natatakot pa rin siya sa tuwing nangyayari ‘yon. “Kahihiyan na nga ang pagkabuhay mo, dadagdagan mo pa!” "You keep on defending this abhorrence! Wala siyang ginawang tama, Diego. Ni isa, wala! I shouldn't have agreed for her to take tourism. It's a disgrace to the family tradition! Everything she does is a disgrace. She, herself is a disgrace. An abomination. Bastarda!" “Ano? Masaya ka na? Nag-away na naman si Mommy at Daddy dahil sayo.” Umiling-iling ito. “Alam mo, ever since na d

Kahihiyan "CaiDan, spotted at Mt. Batulao." "Don't miss this kilig scene from CaiDan's latest movie, Far Awake." "Check Out: CaiDan Mall Show Schedules." Heather was browsing on the internet when she heard three knocks on the door. Sumilip si Yaya Belen sa maliit na siwang ng pinto. Heather quickly closed her laptop and sat straight on the bed. "Yaya..." Pumasok si Yaya Belen sa loob ng kwarto niya at hinaplos ng marahan ang buhok niya. "Handan na ang agahan. Nandoon na rin ang Mommy at Daddy mo. Halika na," she urged Heather and extended her other hand to her. "What about Ate Driana? Is she there, too?" Heather asked in a quite nervous voice. Yaya Belen smiled tightly before nodding. Wala sa sariling napatingin si Heather sa nakasarado niyang laptop. "Mas pipiliin mo bang manati
Picturesque Mistake Chapter 2
Starbucks Nabuo si Heather sa isang gabi ng pagkakamali. Pinanganak at lumaki siya sa kaniyang ina. But when she turned six, pinamigay siya nito sa kaniyang Daddy. Hindi na raw kasi siya kayang buhayin ng ina. Pero alam niya namang hindi yun totoo. Months after her mother gave her to her father, nalaman ni Heather na sumama ang ina niya sa isang lalaki. Wala na siyang balita sa kaniya mula noon. Dela Cerna family are a family of doctors. Mula sa Lolo ni Diego, Lolo ng Lolo niya, and so on. Naging tradisyon na nila ang pagiging doktor. It’s their family legacy. Sinubukan naman ni Heather na mag-medisina pero bumagsak siya sa entrance exam. Kaya walang nagawa ang kaniyang Mommy at Daddy kundi payagan siya sa kursong napili niya. That’s when she met Aidan. They met accidentally in a Mall. Baguhang artista pa lang siya noon. They talked and hang out and something just clicked. They have been together ever since.

Friend “Sa'n ka nanggaling?” tanong ni Driana sa kapatid habang magka-krus ang mga braso. She scanned Heather from head to toe. “Is that a man's polo? What the hell happened to you?” Her face is contorted with disgust. Sa isiping iba ang laman ng isip niya, kaagad na ipinaliwanag ni Heather ang sarili, “Natapunan ako ng iced coffee, pinahiram muna no’ng nakasagi sa ‘kin ang polo niya.” “Oh tapos? ‘Yun lang? ‘Di mo man lang pinagbayad or something?” “Hindi,” sagot niya. “Bakit hindi?!” napaatras si Heather nang tumaas ang boses niya. “Because it's not a big deal?” patanong niyang saad. “Not a big deal? Napahiya ka sa harap ng maraming tao tapos, not a big deal?” singhal ng kapatid sa kaniya. Nagsalubong naman ang kilay ni Heather. Gulong-gulo kung anong kinagagalit ng kapatid. She honestly don't know where th
