Lumipas ang mga araw na walang ibang ginagawa si Darius kun’di guluhin ang araw ko. Worst is, kasama ko ba sa lahat ng subjects dahil magka-klase lang naman kami.

“Sera, sabay tayo mag-lunch.”

“Ayoko.”

“May mango cake doon, tsaka mango shake. Sinabihan ko na si Tita Melody na ipag-reserve ka. Ayaw mo talaga?”

Sinusundan pa rin ako ni Darius sa paglalakad, paatras nga lang ang lakad nito para masundan niya ako.

“No.” pagmamatigas ko kahit na nakakatakam ang mga pinagsasabi niya.

Ayokong kumain. O

  • Shadows of the Heart (Ethan Sierra)   84 - Promise Under The Sunset

    ETHAN SIERRAI don’t like Darius’ plan. I despise it. Every part of me screams in protest, telling me this isn’t the right way—telling me there has to be another option.But I’m not blind. I know the reality we’re facing. There is no other way.And so, I’m left with no choice.I have to do this.Not because I want to follow some twisted plan he laid out. Not because it makes sense. But because I refuse to lose her.Because if I don’t act now, Sera will keep suffering in silence. She will keep enduring the torment, locked in a cycle of pain that she doesn’t deserve. And that thought alone is enough to make my blood boil, to make me feel like I’m suffocating beneath the weight of my helplessness.Hindi ko na hahayaan pang mangyari iyon. Not anymore.She has suffered enough—been abandoned enough. I won’t be another person who walks away. I won’t stand by while she’s pushed further into darkness by the very people who should have protected her.I have to be with her.Not just until our pr

  • Shadows of the Heart (Ethan Sierra)   83 - Negotiation

    ETHAN SIERRA“I am not. The moment you leave me hangin’, Ethan, tinanggal na rin kita sa buhay ko. Now, leave, I need to rest.” Hirap akong lapitan si Sera dahil nilalayo niya talaga ang loob niya sa’kin. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko. Will I really let her slip away from me? No. Hindi ko kaya.“I want to cancel my engagement with Kendra, Lo. Ayokong ituloy,” wika ko dahilan para matigilan si Lolo sa kanyang ginagawa.“We already talked about this, Ethan, don’t make me repeat myself.”I clenched my jaw. How am I supposed to convince him to stop the engagement between me and Kendra? Natigilan ako sa pagre-review ng proposal that needed to be finalized before sending it to the investors for signing contracts, when Manang Rosa knocked on my door and told me that someone was looking for me.Pagkababa ko ng hagdan ay nakita ko si Darius na seryosong tinitignan ang mga larawan sa paligid ng sala. Ang isang kamay niyang nakapamulsa, habang ang isang kamay naman ay hawak ang larawan namin ni Sera

  • Shadows of the Heart (Ethan Sierra)   82 - Engagement

    ETHAN SIERRA“Ethan! Why are you doing this to me? Ako ang girlfriend mo! Bakit ba puro si Sera na lang ang kasama mo! Bakit siya na lang palagi?!” Kendra's voice was sharp, filled with frustration and jealousy.“Pwede ba, Kendra? I don’t have time for your bullshit!” I snapped, my patience wearing thin.Nanlaki ang bilugang mga mata ni Kendra, at siyang pamumula naman ng kanyang tenga at pisngi sa galit at inis.I hadn’t meant to yell at her, but she had been pushing me for days, testing my patience when I had nothing left to give. I was exhausted—mentally, emotionally. Everything had happened so suddenly.Tita Sarah was gone.Sera hadn't spoken since. The shock had stolen her voice, leaving her trapped in a silence none of us could break.Sometimes, she would just sit there, staring at her mother’s coffin, tears falling quietly down her cheeks. Liam had tried to comfort her at first, but when she didn’t respond, not even acknowledging his presence, he eventually stopped trying.And n

  • Shadows of the Heart (Ethan Sierra)   81 - Fall

    ETHAN SIERRADays have passed and our school year has ended. I immediately went to Manila for the training. Pagkarating ko sa mansyon ni Lolo ay isang malakas na sampal ang natanggap ko.“You’re helping the Valencias?!” Sigaw nito na halos pumutok na ang ugat nito sa leeg dahil sa galit. Hinila ako ni Yael palayo kay Lolo. “It doesn’t mean he’s helping Gabriel Valencia, Lo. You know how close he is to his child. At walang kasalanan si Sera sa nangyayari sa mga magulang niya. She’s innocent!” “Yes, she’s innocent. But that doesn’t mean you have to help them. Baka nakakalimutan mo kung magkano ninakaw ng lalaking iyon sa’tin, Ethan. And now you’re investing in their company. Are you fucking insane? Sa papaluging kompanyang iyon?!”Nagtangis ang panga ko sa sinabi ni Lolo. He has the right to get mad. I invested his money in Sera’s Furnitures Company—but that money is from working hard as a trainee. Hindi naman ako basta-basta nag-iinvest ng gano’ng kalaking halaga kung alam kong hindi

  • Shadows of the Heart (Ethan Sierra)   80 - Admitted

    ETHAN SIERRAI felt uneasy when Sera didn’t show up at school for days. The longer she was gone, the more restless I became.So I went to her house.Manang was the one who greeted me at the door, her expression heavy with concern. “Nasa ospital sila Ethan,” she said. “Nakunan si Sarah. Pwede mo namang puntahan, pero uuwi na rin sila bukas.”Something inside me tightened.I didn’t waste time—I went straight to the hospital. But when I got there, I found myself unable to move forward.Sera sat in the hallway, her hands folded neatly on her lap, her posture still. Too still.She looked lost.Her mother wouldn’t even speak to her, and she didn’t push. She just sat there, her face void of emotion. Then, as if sensing someone watching her, she let out a deep sigh and forced a smile—one that didn’t reach her eyes. As if nothing had happened.But I knew better.And this—this was exactly why I didn’t want to lose her smiles.Because I knew how quickly her world could fall apart. And if I could

  • Shadows of the Heart (Ethan Sierra)   79 - Her Smiles

    ETHAN SIERRAI was sitting under a coconut palm tree, flipping through the pages of my book while the waves crashed against the shore. The birds were humming, and the wind made the trees sway, their leaves rustling softly. It was calm, peaceful—one of those moments where everything felt right, or I thought so.“Ayoko pa kasing umuwi, Mama! Ayoko!” Sigaw ng batang babae at mabilis na tumatakbo palayo sa tinatawag niyang mama.She’s small, but runs like a cheetah.Hingal na hingal ang Mama niyang napahinto habang ang kamay ay nakasenyas sa bata na lumapit sa kanya.Pero inilabas niya lang ang dila niya sa Mama niya at nakwembot pa. Hindi ko mapigilang matawa dahil ang cute niyang tignan.“Seraphina, please. I still have a lot of work to do, hmm? Listen to Mama, okay?” Hinihingal pa rin ang ginang habang tuwang-tuwa naman ang babae at hindi pa rin natigil sa pagkembot.“Mama naman kasi! Ayoko nga. Hindi na sana tayo nagpunta dito kung magtatrabaho ka lang. You didn’t bring me here last su
