I feel like I am being watched.

After kong mabasa ang text ay hindi na ako mapakali. Knowing that he knows I am outside the church is alarming. And how on earth did he know my number? Hindi ko naman binigay.

My fingers tightened around my phone as I stared at the message again. Kulang nalang ay itapon ko ito sa panginginig at kaba.

It was simple.

But it was enough to make my chest feel uneasy.

Slowly, I lifted my head and glanced at the glass window beside our seats. The street outside was busy

    I feel like I am being watched.After kong mabasa ang text ay hindi na ako mapakali. Knowing that he knows I am outside the church is alarming. And how on earth did he know my number? Hindi ko naman binigay.My fingers tightened around my phone as I stared at the message again. Kulang nalang ay itapon ko ito sa panginginig at kaba.It was simple.But it was enough to make my chest feel uneasy.Slowly, I lifted my head and glanced at the glass window beside our seats. The street outside was busy—people walking, cars passing, groups of friends laughing while carrying shopping bags. Everything looked normal.Just normal.Yet the strange feeling remained. It's been 3 days since that day happened, after the heated encounter with him akala ko wala na. Tatlong araw siyang hindi nag paramdam, I thought I can finally have my peace and I could finally forget. But I don't think I can?“Alya?”Napalingon ako kay Jade. She was looking at me with curiosity while the staff continued working on her

    "Sumama ka sa kanilang lumabas Alya, make time for yourselves. Mamili kayo at kumain sa labas," sabi ni Sister Esther. Ngumiti ako sa kanya."I'm fine, Sister Esther. Sila nalang po, tutulong nalang po ako sa mga bata—"Before I could finish my words she cut me off. "Alya, you're not here to isolate yourself. Try something new, yung alam mong tama, yung alam mong hindi mali sa mata ng diyos. It's not bad to have fun unless you're doing bad behind our saviours back."I looked down after hearing her sentiments. I am not isolating my self but rather I am protecting it. Alam kong may nagawa akong mali. I was sitting in front of Sister Esther. Nandito kami sa kanyang opisina. She made me come here para ipaalam na lalabas ng simbahan ang aking mga kasamahan at gagala. Gusto ni Sister na sumama ako. I want to go but I am afraid."Hindi naman po sa ganoon Sister. I just feel like I need to help,""We don't need this time, Alya. Bumalik ka sa'yong silid at mag bihis. Sasama ka sa kanila," S

    Now what should I do?I continued walking toward the storage room behind the refectory, trying my best to ignore the sound of Cameron’s footsteps following behind me. My grip on the box had already disappeared since he took it from me, but the irritation remained. I could still hear my own voice from earlier, the sharp words that slipped out of my mouth without thinking.“Edi ayan! Sayo na! Isaksak mo sa baga mo!”Napapikit ako sandali habang naglalakad. That was so rude. I rarely spoke like that to anyone, especially here inside the church grounds. Pero kasalanan din naman niya. Bigla nalang siyang lumapit at nang-agaw. Marami pa naman ang nandoon sa parlour.The storage room door creaked softly when I pushed it open. The room was quiet and slightly dim, lit only by the small window near the ceiling. Wooden shelves filled the walls, stacked with canned goods, rice sacks, and boxes of supplies for the feeding program. It smelled faintly of cardboard and stored food.I stepped inside a

    The moment I stepped out of the refectory, I felt like I could finally breathe again.My chest had been tight the entire time I was inside. I forced myself to eat ngumiti kay Jade and act like nothing was wrong, but the truth was I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. I didn’t need to look back to know that he was watching. Just the thought of Cameron being in the same room as me made my stomach twist in a way I couldn’t explain.I walked faster across the courtyard, clutching the edge of my veil. The sunlight was already bright, and the church grounds were slowly becoming busy again. Some visitors were entering the chapel to pray and wait for the second mass while others were leaving after the first mass. Everything looked normal. Peaceful. The same quiet place I had always known.Pero para sa akin, hindi ito normal na araw.I tried to calm myself as I headed toward the convent building. My steps slowed down when I reached the shaded pathway beside the garden. Dito ako dumadaan

    I barely slept that night.Even after the cold shower, even after kneeling beside my bed and whispering prayers again and again, my mind refused to rest. Every time I closed my eyes, the memories came back—the music, the alcohol, his hands, his voice.I pressed my eyes shut and shook my head.“Stop,” I whispered to myself.I shouldn’t think about him anymore. Kung ano man yung nangyari ay wala lang yun. A moment of weakness. Something that should never happen again. Ang dapat kong alalahanin ngayun ay ang sarili. I should ask for forgiveness. But how? Ayaw kong ikumpisal ang nangyari, natatakot ako. I don't want anyone to know what happened.But still, the only place I knew where I could find peace was the church.So the next morning, I woke up earlier than usual and went straight to the chapel. The air inside was cool and quiet. The soft light from the stained glass windows painted colors across the floor. Marami ng tao ang nakaupo sa loob. This place has always calmed me. "Alya, m

    Morning light slipped quietly through the thin curtains.I stirred when the sunlight touched my face. My head felt heavy, my body strangely warm beneath the soft sheets. For a moment, I couldn’t remember where she was. Or what happened, ang naalala ko lang ay dinala ako ni Jamaica sa isang club and left me there. I moved, still eyes closed. Pinakiramdaman ko ang paligid. However, I realized someone’s arm was wrapped around my waist. My eyes opened instantly. Kinabahan agad ako. Slowly and carefully I turned my head.Beside me was a man! Bigla akong napaatras sa kinahihigaan. Tinitigan ko siya. He's sleeping soundly. His dark hair was slightly messy, his face relaxed in a way I hadn’t seen before. One arm rested lazily around me like it belonged there.His features are perfect, he has a soft oval face with a clear and smooth look. His eyebrows are thick, giving his face a strong expression. He has a straight and well-defined nose bridge that fits well with his facial shape. His lip
