ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW
Christmas Eve, when I and Kolten had a great fight over the phone. He did not want things to end up by that. He did not even ask me about the photos I was talking about, it only meant that he already knew about it. Mom asked me about him, but I used to change the topic and told her that our situation was really complicated. My brother and I slept in our Grandfather's room that night, since he wanted us to stay with him. We already knew that he was too tired and just wanted to spend his time with us. Ashton and I were holding both hands until he fell asleep. It was past 12:00 in the midnight when Grandpa woke up and greeted us a Merry Christmas, and I was so glad that we spent our Christmas here with them.
"He was probably just waiting for you." My big brother wiped away my tears and pulled me closer to him. I never thought that it would be his last Christmas with us. After I broke up with Kolten tha

The Perfect Thief Chapter 38
ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW It was a Sunday morning after I went to church with Mom and Grandma, I usually put my phone in silent mode. But the moment I opened it, I saw a lot of missed calls from Zette. So I tried to call her back. "Is there anything wrong? Sorry for missing your calls, I was attending a mass when you called me. She chuckled a bit like she always did. This made me remember how she used to giggle whenever she was about to say and announce something special. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I just really want you to know about it first. You already knew that Samuel and I had been engaged after I graduated, right? The original plan would be next year, remember? But it had been moved so suddenly, because hie grandmother wanted to attend our wedding before going back abroad, and you should be there. I'm honestly won't wa
The Perfect Thief Chapter 39
KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I decided to book my flight going to the U.S. after finding out that her grandfather had passed away without her knowledge. I could not contact her. I did not know if she just blocked me or what, but it was devastating that she broke up with me, not even telling me the real reason. I wanted to give her time and understand her situation, thinking that she might need it to finally accept what happened. I went there during Christmas and left a flower for her grandfather's tomb. I used to watch her from afar and see her smiling along with her mom and grandma, that was exactly the smile I was longing to see for a long time. — "There she is." Zette waving her both hands. I got so nervous about seeing her half run in our direction. I began to notice a lot of things that have been changed from the last time I saw h

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "Astrid, I will book later when everyone's in their room." He put down my bag and gave me my phone that I probably left during outside. He went outside as he saw me about to change my clothes. I always admired him for being so gentlemanly. I took a bath as quickly as I could knowing that he might be waiting for me outside, I was holding my wireless hairdryer. I was wearing a white halter top paired up with denim shorts. I dialed his number while I was in the front of the mirror, but I heard it ringing inside, he probably left it here. But as the moment I open the door, I saw him standing outside before flashing a genial smile, he had always been this pure and genuine. "Why won't you just come inside?" He just smiled before looking to his right, which made me automatically look in the same
The Perfect Thief Chapter 1
ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I found myself step slowing down as I could barely see my own reflection in the transparent glass door as I was making my way out of the bookstore. I just walked the distance from the store to the campus then, I went to a place where there were only a few people. After finding an empty bench near the outdoor fountain placed near my department building, I took a seat and opened the book on pages one-hundred-one and one-hundred-two, where I left a bookmark earlier before I took a quick shower. I looked at my wristwatch and found out that I still have 20 minutes before my class starts. So I decided to catch some z's in the classroom. "Miss Astrid Talitha Abram, answer the problems on page one-hundred-forty-seven on the board." Some
The Perfect Thief Chapter 2
ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW I was awakened as I heard the buzzing sound like a train of the alarm clock on my table, right beside my bed. I tapped its snooze button on the top after a few moments. Since, I forgot to set it last night, later than yesterday, so I have decided to go to school early this morning but end up being late after going back to sleep when I should be taking a bath. My phone abruptly rang as I made my way to our department building. I rummaged in my shoulder bag in order to find my phone. Then, I suddenly bumped into someone whom I failed to notice because of being preoccupied with my phone which was still ringing. "Oh, I'm really sorry." His coffee has been poured onto the jersey he

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Hey, Astrid! It's been a while." Her big brother pulled and placed her at his back as Dax greeted her when he walked toward our direction. He was the captain ball of the team of our opponent. He used to be an old friend of Astrid's brother, but things changed as he wanted to get the position of him being the captain ball when they were both still at Haven Eastwood University. "Let's just play," I said and forcedly threw him the ball. He used to like Astrid and that thought, irritated me so much. "Keep this for me." I handed her my silver necklace. She just smiled and lightly nodded her head before accepting it from me. We were leading until the first half ended. "Do you like her? Don't you?" He asked while chuckling as I was driving the ball. I just gave him an indignant stare as a response. "Let me have her if we win!" I smirked before hardly throwing the ball on his fac
The Perfect Thief Chapter 4
KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I was walking into a long hallway going to the third floor just to attend our last class for this day, there were just a few students here, probably most of the class had ended by this time. As I looked around, I noticed the newly painted white walls that somehow made it looks wider than it was. I even saw some students who were standing near the trimmed pinboards that were placed on the left side of this hallway. "Let's have a group study after class!" Luke suggested while standing in front of the class. He always liked the idea of doing a lot of activities together with the whole class which I found so boring. He stopped for a moment at took a glance at me as I entered into a squarish room that was well-maintained. I put down my black backpack in the backseat, right next to Astrid's. "Count me in!" I hardly nudged Orion to stop him as he shouted behind me. I did not know how this guy managed to

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW Orion accompanied me home after we went to the café. I turned on the radio in his car but immediately moved it to another station as I heard a new rock song I always heard on the campus this past few days. It was not that I did not like the song, maybe I was just not really fond of that genre. "What are we going to talk about? Is there something bothering you?" I asked him seriously as I saw how his expression changed. "I have something to tell you." I got so nervous as I heard his serious tone of voice. "Is it about our assignment? I won't mind doing yours." He just shook his head and laughed a bit as I gave him a quick smile. "It's not abo
