CHAPTER THIRTEEN
"Hmm."
Nanatili akong nakahalukipkip at nakatingin kay Tanya habang tinitingnan niya ang mga litrato. Hindi na mapigilan ang umangat ng isang kilay ko habang tinitingnan ang buntis kong kaibigan na titigan ang mga litrato habang hinihimas niya ang kaniyang tiyan.

Nezha Marleigh Sanchez"Quinton. Pete Quinton Ortega Ignacio."At that moment, I felt like my whole world collapsed. Pakiramdam ko ay lahat ng pangarap ko na nabuo kasama si Philos ay naglaho. Agad akong napabitaw sa bata na nilalaro ko na tila ba nakuryente. I stared at the woman in front of me in disbelief. "Who is the father of this child?" I asked her. It's her turn to stare at me. I don't know if it was wonder, disbelief or sorry I was seeing in her eyes but I don't like it. Hindi siya sumagot at niyakap lamang ang batang nasa braso niya."Who's the father?" I repeated my question. I tried to remain calm as much as possible, I don't want to make a scene, not inside my boutique.No one knows about my past other than my family, friends, and Philos' family. None of my assistant and staffs at my studio didn't dare ask about my personal life, especially my lovelife. I don't want them to know that I o

Nezha Marleigh SanchezI heard heels clicking on the floor board inside my office. I continued to work on my new design in my studio but when the clicking stopped, a hand slammed on my table. "Nezha Marleigh Sanchez!" Matinis na boses ni Hansel ang dumagundong sa studio ko na maging ang mga staff ko ay napapitlag. Hindi ako nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya at patuloy lamang sa ginagawa ko."Oh, you're back, fine and still walking." I heard her exasperated sigh. She's so done with me and my snark remarks."Ano itong nalaman ko na bumalik ka na naman sa pagiging workaholic mo? Tanya told me you are not answering her calls and you did not even go home for almost a week!" Ibinaba ko ang mga pangkulay na gamit ko at nagpangalumbaba sa harapan niya. I scanned her body and smirked. Muli na naman niyang kinalabog ang lamesa. "Nezha! Anong nginingisi-ngisi mo riyan?" I just shrugged at her and picked my color pencils and continued t

Nezha Marleigh SanchezAwkward silence.All that is inside the car was awkward silence. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nakaladkad ako ni Hansel at Tanya sa roadtrip na ito. What's worse is Hansel made sure I won't be alone this time. She asked someone to come and accompany me and to make it worse, it was Kalisto. It was Kalisto fucking Rivera!I glanced at him again but his eyes were set on the road. The car was eerily silent and it seemed like anytime from now, a girl in white would pop out of nowhere at the backseat."Why don't we turn on the radio?""No."I don't know how many times he denied me of turning on the radio or playing a music from my phone. I don't even understand why there's a need for three cars when we can fit in one van! Nagpangalumbaba ako at mas piniling tingnan na lang ang tanawin sa labas ng bintana. All I can hear was the sound of
Solace and Sparkles CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Nezha Marleigh SanchezI woke up with the sound of waves and the heat of the sun. Nang imulat ko ang aking mga mata ay bumungad sa akin si Kalisto na nakaupo sa isang upuan at nakaharap sa dagat nang may hawak na libro. He's wearing a gray bathrobe and I wonder how I got here when all I can recall was when I'm sitting on the sand. Tumayo ako sa higaan at kinuha ang bathrobe na nasa gilid ng kama. I covered myself because I'm still wearing the summer dress I wore yesterday and it was actually thin that someone could see my bando underneath.Umupo ako sa katapat na upuan at nagpangalumbaba. I tapped my fingers on the table yet he still didn't notice that I'm beside him. He's wearing earphones while reading the book he was holding. No wonder why he didn't notice me, he was too engrossed on what he was reading.Dinampot ko ang orange juice na nasa lamesa at sumimsim doon. I brought the orange juice inside and checked my phon
Solace and Sparkles CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Nezha Marleigh SanchezWe are all around a campfire. My friends were all beside me and I'm in the middle. Beside Tanya is Alois, and beside Alois was Kalisto. Beside Kalisto was Hansel's husband. Pilit kong iniiwasan ang tingin ni Kalisto habang lahat kami ay nakapaikot sa campfire. We are all drinking and talking."So, Kalisto, how's your first night with Nezha?" Tanya inquired. I rolled my eyes and looked at him. He was also looking at me."Tinulugan ako."My best friends looked at each other and they laughed out loud. "Seriously?" Tanya exclaimed. I saw how a smirk formed on Kalisto's lips."Yes.""How about earlier? Ano nangyari sa inyo?" Hansel asked as she wiggled her eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes again."I think she needs to stop herself from rolling her eyes or else, I'll stop her rolling her eyes but I'll turn it to white." Na

Kalisto Rivera "Stay with me." I know she's already drunk as of this moment and I shouldn't take advantage of her vulnerability but her damn voice plead for me to stay. Marahan niyang hinawakan ang braso ko. Huminga ako nang malalim at pilit na kinaklaro ang isipan ko. I should not take advantage of her at this moment. She walked inside the bathroom, still holding my arm, her soft hands slid down to my wrist, down to my hand. My breaths hitched. Her touch sent an indescribable current in my system. "Stay with me, Kalisto." I stood frozen on my track when she called my name. The last time she was drunk, she called another man's name and that woke me up from kissing her senselessly. Her eyes are already drooping and it looked like she would fall asleep anytime, her face up to her collarbone were flushed red and she cannot walk straight. She really has a low alcohol tolerance ye

Nezha Marleigh SanchezI woke up with no one beside me and no one at the terrace. My head is splitting with headache and when I looked around me, I saw a painkiller and a glass of water beside me. I can feel the sore all over my body. I'm wearing a bathrobe. I tried to remember what happened last night. What trouble I caused. Sinapo ko ang ulo ko nang sumandal sa headboard ng kama. Muli kong iginala ang paningin ko sa paligid.Dinampot ko ang painkiller at baso ng tubig sa tabi at ininom ito. I held the glass of water for awhile and tapped it with my fingers. Hindi ko na alam kung ano nga ba ang gagawin ko dahil pakiramdam ko ay pagod na pagod pa ako. Muli kong sinapo ng kamay ang noo ko. Doon lamang rumehistro sa isip ko ang lahat ng sinabi ko kagabi at maging ang mga ginawa ko. Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko nang mapagtanto kung ano nga ba ang nangyari kagabi."We fucked," mahinang usal ko. I initiated it. I aske

Nezha Marleigh Sanchez"What's that?" Agad kong itinago ang design na ginagawa ko at ngumiti nang makita kong papalapit si Philos sa akin. He was holding a tray with a glass of orange juice and some club sandwich."Nothing." Pilya akong nakangiti habang tinitiklop nang maliit ang design na itinatago ko sa kaniya. Nang ibaba niya ang tray sa lamesa ko ay siya namang silip niya sa kung anong tinatago ko sa aking likuran."If it's nothing then why are your hands on your back?" he asked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was grinning at me. He can really see through me. Agad akong nag-isip ng palusot at nagkunwari akong nag-iinat."Ah! Ang sakit ng katawan ko! Ganito ba kahirap ang gumawa ng designs araw-araw?" pagkukunwari ko habang nag-iinat inat. Naglakad siya patungo sa likod ko at naramdaman ko naman ang pagmasahe niya sa aking likod.I'm wearing a tank top that's
