“How's work, Li?” Ate Tar asked when I laid myself on her bed.

Right after I stormed out of the office, pumunta agad ako sa apartment ni Ate Tar. I wanted to freshen up my mind and I need her wisdom. Namiss ko na rin siya.

“Work sucks. Akala ko prof ko lang sa college ang magbibigay sakin highblood, pati rin pala si Mr. Almario.” umirap ako.

Ate Tar is living with her boyfriend, Jeremiah. Well, he treats my sister good and right, and this apartment was his, he shared it with Ate, so I think he's good. I'd give him a benefit of that.

As long as my sister is happy and in good condition, I'm good.

“Where's your boyfriend?” I asked, smugly.

Napairap siya sa ‘kin.

“He's working.”

Nagkibit balikat ako.

“What are you doing here?” She asked, sounding a little curious.

Ayan na naman siya. Manghuhula na naman ‘yan. Nakakatakot pa naman ‘yan kung manghula, talagang nahuhulaan niya!

Siguro, hidden talent niya talaga ‘yon.

“I'm stressed.” I confessed.

Lumapit siya sa akin at agad akong tina

    “Are you sure about that?” I know Alex is a legit source but now that we are talking about people we don't really know, it makes me buckle. Paano kung mali ang mga nasagap niya?“I mean, those are rumors. No confirmation about it. It might be a flop.” She sighed and leaned back on her chair. She looked relaxed, it makes me wanna stop her from getting these shits. I suddenly have a bad feeling.“Don't you trust me? I'll find proof about it. And, of course I won't disseminate the information to you if I haven't confirmed it yet.” She said, coolly.Kumunot pa lalo ang noo ko at mas lalo akong naging kuryoso. Maybe she dug… a little too hard. “So you confirmed it?” I asked.Nagkibit balikat siya. Her eyes were that of a hungry person. Hungry for what?“I am looking for loopholes.” She wiggled her brows.Loopholes? What does she mean?“Alex, I'm only asking for information about where his sibling could be. Stop digging deeper! Hindi na natin kailangan ‘yan!” I snapped.Namuo ang pawis

    “Graduating year must be hard, huh?” I asked as I settled myself on the counter, watching him cook.Tumango siya at marahan akong tiningnan.“It is. You always need to be your best. It's kinda hard, actually…” “Why did you take and enter law school if it's hard?” He stopped for a while whatever he was doing, as if he's thinking about how to respond. I waited, then.“Because, I want it. I… dreamed of it…” his eyes glistened with some familiar passion. He looked at me, I saw how his eyes shined. He was talking about something… and he's passionate about it— his dreams and ambitions.“I have always thought that the world is unfair to me. But when I got older, my eyes opened to the realization. The world is not unfair, the people of it are. And the only way I can help, to at least lessen the burden, is to be fair.” He smiled at me.He is right. The world is not an unfair one, but the people living in it are. It's a cruel world because the people of it are. The world is only a place, an

    I feel like an intruder. Psalm was so lost in his book, reading, memorizing, and highlighting it. I don't even know if he realized that I'm here.I watched him do his thing. Gusto kong lumapit pero baka maistorbo ko siya. Gusto kong magsalita pero baka atakihin siya sa puso dahil sa gulat. Gusto kong gumawa ng ingay pero… pakiramdam ko hindi dapat.“Why are you here?” He suddenly said, making me lose my balance out of shock.What the hell?Malakas siguro talaga ang pang amoy ng isang ‘to! Akala ko hindi niya ako napansin dahil masyado siyang tutuk sa pag aaral niya. But, he did notice me. He knew I was here. He just acted like he doesn't.I cleared my throat.“I thought you didn't notice me…” I said, shyly.He dropped his pen, abruptly. Eyes looking straight at his book. His jaw flexed from my view. His whole side profile was clenched, as if he's trying to contain whatever anger he has inside him…He didn't look at me, his eyes stayed on the book. I suddenly felt… nervous and… bad.I

  • Was It Worth It Taking The Risk   CHAPTER 18

    It was chaotic, stressful, and very… shitty.The moment I learned about Psalm waiting for me outside and in front of the building, it felt like the papers I am facing slapped me, real hard. “Fuck, are you kidding me?” I said as the elevator won't open. Patay na halos lahat ng ilaw at sa tingin ko, ako na lang talaga ang nandito. I suddenly felt cold. The realization hit me, I worked overtime so much that I stayed in the office until midnight. Wala na akong pakialam sa oras, and I fuck it up, real bad.Inikot ko ang tingin ko sa buong floor ng office. Nasa 15th floor ang office namin, and this is a 20 floored building! I looked at my phone and saw that there was no signal reason why the phone call stopped. “Shit!” Mura ko.I looked for the stairways. I need to go down immediately. Nakakahiyang isipin na naghihintay si Psalm sa akin kanina pa! And I am so dumb not to think about it when earlier he texted me that we'll see each other!Hindi ko naman kinalimutan! In fact, I made it m

  • Was It Worth It Taking The Risk   CHAPTER 17

    Growing up, I am already faced with the harsh reality. I am just lucky enough to have gentle people beside me. I experienced bullying and thought that I was less because I grew up without a father. I grew thinking that having no father made me less of a kid. And that, no kid has no father. If I am, then maybe, I was no ordinary kid. I am born abnormal. Because I grew in a set up that is not normal for everybody.I thought myself as less. And up until now, I carry the weight of that. I will be love less. I will be helped less. I'll be offered with goodness, but less. All things for me should be less. I don't deserve to have it whole. Because I myself isn't whole. From what Psalm shared with me, considering the set up we have — I think it's something personal. I forgot how personal it is that I asked him questions and he answered it, still polite. He assumed that one of the kids in the orphanage is his sibling. His sibling from the other women of his father. He wanted to say sorry. H
