KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW
"Hello, Sani! Did you enjoy your party?" she was already wearing her pajamas while combing her hair as she was sitting in Orion's bed. She gave me a genial smile and cheerfully nodded her hair.
"I really did! By the way, have you been to a theme park before?" She asked from nowhere that made me give her a perplexed glance before reluctantly nodding my head as a response to him. She let me see the storybook she was holding, and I saw how she struggled on turning it to another page, which made me decide to sit beside her to help her out. As I turned it, I saw a big picture of a theme park.
"Do you wanna visit a theme park?" She was looking at it passionately. I took a glance on the right side and seemed like thinking carefully before giving her an answer. She looked like Auntie. I suddenly remember when Orion told me that he made her cry as he pinched her cheeks when Auntie asked him to look for he

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "How was Grandpa?" I hardly closed my eyes as I heard her sigh on the other line. She might be having a hard time keeping it all by herself. Mom did not want anything that was happening in our family to affect our academic performance. Ashton used to tell me to call Mom much often. "He will be going to be okay. Let's just pray even harder, okay? By the way, don't forget to have your breakfast, okay. Your grandpa told me last night that he will cook for you the next time you visit here." I hardly swallow and tried not to hear her in my sobs. "Can you hug him for me?" I heard him burst into crying. Our conversation lasted for about an hour, and it was good that my class will begin later this afternoon.

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I began to be familiar with the smell of sickly hospital scent and pungent of the hospital disinfect as Orion and I used to visit Uncle. Astrid never left his side from the moment we got at here, she was just sitting and kept on holding his hand even if he was still in his deep nap as the medicine had its effect on him. She was looking at his dad the same as we arrived here after our class at exactly 3:00 in the afternoon up until approximately three hours had been passed. I rarely saw her smiling this past few days. As I was getting the book I borrowed on her in her apricot shoulder bag when I left mine in my vintage brown study table inside my room, I saw the five bars of chocolate in its pocket, signifying that she did not have eaten the chocolate I gave her since Monday which was rea

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW As I was entering the white iron gate of our campus, I heard the murmurings of other students who were roaming around, and most of them were probably juniors. Their attentions were nailed into the banner that was hanging in the entrance. It was gigantic that it was impossible not to be noticed. It was indicating that the intramural week was just around the corner. It was celebrated before the semester ends. It was the week everyone's waiting since there were lots of activities and sports competitions among different departments. I could see how excited they were. "Good morning, Astrid! It's good to see you this early." Lia wrapped her both arms around mine while handed two paper bags. I casually smiled and just listened to the description of the face masks she bought in the mall yesterday. She looked so jubilant and looking forward to using it later before she go to sleep. "Have this, Astrid! I ac

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Coach!" I noticed that most of the students who were in the hallways turned their back as they heard me shouting, but successfully made my coach turn his back on me. He stopped and raised his brows as if waiting for me while I was half-run to get in his direction. He noticed the new tumbler he was holding. "I'll just need to go upstairs, but I'll be quick." He gave me a perplexed look before smirking and tapping my shoulder. "Are you asking for my permission to avoid being punished for being late or what?" He chuckled a bit before giving me a soft shoulder punch and nodded. "Thanks, Coach! I'll promise to give you a good game later. I'll break a leg!" A genial smile, etched on his face, w

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I asked Kolten to drive me home first before heading to the Bliss Club, where we chose to celebrate Lia's getting into the volleyball team of the HRM department. I was wearing a maroon-sweat-shirt crop-top paired with my faded skinny high-waist jeans. I tried to put my night makeup which was a darker shade than the usual one, whenever I went to school every day, that was matching to the color of my outfit. My hair was well-ironed as we arrived there. Played basketball with my big brother while he was waiting for me. I already told him to go ahead of me and I will just be asked my brother to drop me off there since his meetings have been canceled, the reason why he got home earlier than usual, but he insisted that he can wait for me. "Here you are again. How was studying, guys?" Drey greet

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I was seated on the floor of our locker room and watching how my teammates hastily ran outside with the thought that our coach would scold us if we got there later than we ought to be. When I was all alone in this white-painted locker room, the door was shut and the room was full of silence, I bowed down my head and said a silent prayer with my hands together before the big games this week. This was actually the awaited week for the entire team, especially for our coach. I managed to not be nervous and have a positive mindset as I was making my way to the vast basketball court of our campus. Orion turned his back and stopped for a while to wait for me before he threw his arm around my shoulder. As we went into the hall, we saw some students and faculty in our department wh

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "Did anyone ask my princess out for a date?" My Dad asked while I was sitting on his lap as he was watching his favorite baseball team playing in the finals while we were waiting for Mom who was busy preparing for our dinner. I helped her clean some dishes, the day after celebrating my birthday. I gave him a side glance of disgust as I heard what he asked, which made him chuckle a bit. I always tell him everything that happens to me in school. From the moment I was caught by my World History teacher sleeping in her class, from the time I went up to wait until my brother's class ended. I never like the idea of hiding something from him, probably because I had been too closed to him that I was too comfortable telling him it all. "You know Ko

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I used to treat him to a cup of hot chocolate in a small vintage restaurant. My Mom introduced this restaurant to me before. He told me that when she flew back here to the Philippines, she met an old lady that happened to be an old friend of grandma during their college years. She was the wife of the owner of this classic restaurant. I loved the ambiance it gave. All the furniture and fixtures that were hanging and displayed here. It was placed in an old street. It was actually one of the shops some may be walking past, but I was glad to know this place. There was some old and dusty cash register on the counter. It had been a long time, since the last time we went here. There were a few new designs of paintings hanging on the left corner of this restaurant. They added some tables and chai
