Four.

Things became so out of hand lately. I'm being grounded. That oldy took everything I need. My phone. My cards. Everything that makes me happy. This is so annoying.

"Pinapatawag ho kayo ni Madam. Pumunta raw ho kayo sa garden." Hindi ko pinansin ang nagsalita. I just let myself busy with my dslr. "Ibabalik daw ho niya ang gamit niyo kapag pumunta kayo sa garden ngayon, Señorita."

Mabilis akong napatingin kay yaya na ngumiti sa akim. Tila nagliwanag ata ang paligid ko at naging malinaw ang pandinig ko sa sinabi niya. Ang pilit kong tinatagong kagandahan ay tila muling nabuhay — O damn! This is what I've been waiting for.

"You should have said that earlier!" I walked towards my full length mirror to see how gorgeous I am. Oh G! Im too perfect to handle! Napakaganda ko talaga! Inayos ko na muna ang mahaba kong buhok, I put my fave pair of barrett, I fixed my bangs, bago ako lumabas sa kwarto.

I've been locked out for two days now. It's so boring! I don't have nothing to do aside from watching, eating, sleeping and making oldy's life a living hell every day. Kaya heto na ata ang araw ng kamatayan niya kaya hahayaan na niya akong umalis!

I smiled when I saw my dog Meow. My dog run towards me. So I carry her.

"Madam, nandito na po si Señorita." Binalingan ako ng tingin ni oldy na busy sa pag-gagarden. I frowned. Kahit sa pagtanda pabibo pa rin ang isang 'to!

Tinulangan siyang tumayo ni Nurse Gail. She looks terribly grossy!

"Are you digging your own grave? This early?" I asked with a wicked smile.

She glared at me, nagkibit balikat lang naman ako. "The box." Nurse Gail handed her the box immediately.

"Farewell gift? So sweet!" A wide smile formed into my lips.

"This is not for you," she answered bluntly. But it's girls stuff. KJ talaga ng matandang 'to! "Give this to Mrs. Luivega. Attend the party in behalf of me," dagdag niya na mas lalong kinakunot ng noo ko.

"Inuutusan mo ba ako?" Me? The pretty gorgeous ethereal of beauty will run an errands for her? Attend the party in behalf of her? No freaking way!

"I'll let you do what you want after that—"

"Okay fine. Deal." I cut her off. This is a battle between life and death! My stuffs are my life and this oldy is a death itself. "Should I also help you dig your own grave? I'm willing to help though," I mocked.

"Ikaw na bata ka talaga —."

"Whatever!" I cut her off again reason why Nurse Gail immediately walked closer to her to calm her. "Kailan ang party? Hindi pa ako nakabili ng susuotin ko. I should wear the expensive dress, you see I'm Moon Dashelle."

She shrugged her head as if she doesn't know what to do anymore with her life.

"Beatrice is on her way. The party is tonight."

What the freak? Tonight? "Are you kidding me? What about my date?" Mabilis kong kinuha ang phone ko sa box to see my face. Awful! Dapat talaga hindi ako kumain ng noodles eh! Pati mukha ko tuloy soggy na!

"Madame, meron na po si Miss Beatrice."

"Go. Stop making my head ache, you're so hard to handle," saad niya saka niya ako tinalikuran. "Jaezam will accompany you."

Tinignan ko ang invitation card na halatang hindi pangkaraniwan ang dating. 50th Birthday? Luivega? My brows furrowed. Luivega's are famous, and they somehow has a good reputation not only in the business industry, but also in supporting some orphanage and other stuffs.

I went straight to my room and there I so Beatrice the top notch stylist with her assistant Genie and friends.

"I'm so happy to see you again, Dash." Agad niya akong nilapitan ng makita niya ako at yinakap. "You still beautiful as always." She kissed both of my cheeks then hugged me so tight once again.

I haven't seen her for a while too.

"Of course. I'm Moon Dashelle," Pagyayabang ko, I also flipped my hair.

She laughed. "Well as you can see, I brought here the finest dresses that you might really like." Iginiya niya ako sa mga dresses na nakadisplay na hawak ng mga friends. "These are our new collections. Dinala ko lahat ng mga mahal kasi alam ko naman na hindi ka nagsusuot ng chintzy," she joked with a beautiful smile on her face.

It's the newly designed dresses from the different famous clothing lines. She started to inform me about the details of the dresses as well as its brand names. I really couldn't help myself but to feel so amused — the dresses are well designed. It's so sophisticated and very alluring.

"Save that both." I said pointing out the black and silver assymetric dresses. Sumenyas naman si Beatrice na ilapag ang napili ko sa kama.

Nagpatuloy sila sa pag introduce ng mga dresses. I just can't choose! This is making me hilo-hilo! Hinawakan ko ang sentido ko.

"Ya! Can I just have them all?" Singhal ko. Tumawa naman si Beatrice at inakbayan pa ako.

"You can actually have them all if you want Dash. You have the money though," she joked. "You're so cute if you make face," dagdag niya saka niya kinurot ang pisngi ko.

I so love dresses so much! Lahat ng collection niya ay breathtaking! I just can't choose one!

"Ya! What's the most expensive?" Nginisihan niya ako.

She snapped, and I my mouth literally formed an 'O' when I saw the dress. The details are well managed. O freaking! This is totally my type!

"But I want them all." I almost whined.

"Ikaw talaga. You know your grandma won't let that happen, little brat. Even though you can afford to buy it all, your grandma won't give you a chance."

Halos tumagal ng dalawang oras ang pagpipili ko na susuotin dahil mukhang pinaghandaan din ito ni Beatrice. Sunod ay inayusan na nila ako na tumagal lang ng ilang minuto, dahil sobrang ganda ko na para ayusan pa.

"You're seriously gorgeous." Beatrice sounds frustrated when she saw me. "Ang galing ko talaga," pagkakwa'y sabi niya. Self praised. I just shrugged my head and smirked.

Well! "Sadyang maganda lang talaga ako," pagyayabang ko habang nakatingin sa full length mirror. Ang mahaba kong buhok ay nakatali paitaas, nawala ang bangs ko dahil sa hairclips ko. Mas lalo tuloy nadepina ang kagandahan ng hugis ng aking mukha. I'm so damn perfect.

"O edi ikaw na ang maganda Señorita Moon Dashelle," nakangising sabi niya na bahagya pang nag bow. "Anyway, wala kang date? Mag isa ka lang na a-attend sa party?" tanong niya.

Muli kong binaling ang sarili ko sa salamin. "I'll be with Kuya Jam." Nakita ko ang pagbabago ng expression niya sa salamin ng banggitin ko ang pangalan ni Kuya Jam, her smile isn't as brighter as before. I rolled my eyes. I hate dramas!

"Señorita, nasa baba na po si Sir Jam."

Kinuha ko ang bag ko na nasa ibabaw ng vanity table ko.

"Aren't you going with me outside?" I saw her flinched. Seems like she's been thinking lots now. I pursed my lips. "You see, running away won't lead you to beautiful memories." I hugged her for a couple of seconds. I smiled. "There's something that worth fighting for," I added before I turned my back at her.

Pinagbuksan ako ni Yayey ng pintuan. Pagkababa sa hagdan sumalubong sa akin si Kuya Jam na as usual hindi makabasag pinggan ang tingin. He looks so calm. He smiled at me.

"Masyadong pinaghandaan," pagbibiro niya.

Inismiran ko siya. "Sadyang maganda lang talaga ako," pagyayabang ko.

Pero mukhang wala lang ang sinabi ko sa kanya dahil nasa iba ang atensyon niya, tinignan ko ang tinitignan niya. I totally hate dramas and romances!

"It's so obvious!" singhal ko ng parehas na kaming makapasok sa sasakyan. Kinuha ni Kuya Jam ang dyaryo na inabot ni Mang Roby sa kanya. Argh.

"What?" tanong niya na hindi inaalis ang tingin sa dyaryo.

"That you still love her. Bakit hindi mo nilapitan?" I irritatingly asked. Hindi ko lang kasi gets! Bakit mas pinapahirapan pa nila ang buhay nila? They actually ang absolutely still have feelings with each other — O damn annoying.

"I do love her." He looks at me. I was caught off guard when I saw his eyes. "Pero may mga bagay na kailangang bitawan, hindi dahil gusto mo kundi dahil iyon na lang ang tanging rason mo." He smiled, but not as brighter as before, like what Beatrice eyes when I mentioned his name.

"That's just being coward, Kuya. Why not take the risk again?" I raised a brow at him.

A faint smile pasted on his face. "Am I coward?"

My brow arched. "Definitely."

Tumawa ito. "If I walk towards her a while ago, is she also going to do the same thing? Mahirap maglakad palapit sa taong naglalakad palayo sa iyo, Dashelle." Bumuntong hininga siya. "It's painful yet scary to be rejected by someone you really love the most."

Uh? I was caught off guard with what he said. That hit me, and gave me reason how complicated love is.

"Like how you walk away to Maxcianne." Muli niyang ibinaling ang tingin sa dyaryo.

I was about to protest and tell him that Max and I has a different story, but then somehow, he has point.

    EpilogueThings I didn't expect to happen. People I didn't expect that will come into my life, love I didn't expect to receive, and a woman I didn't expect that I will going to spend my whole life with. Unexpected things really do happen, na dati ay hindi ako naniniwala, pero simula ng dumating siya sa buhay ko lahat nagawa kong paniwalaan, lahat ng imposible ay naging posible para sa akin. I met her at the right time, and at the perfect place. "Dude, sino yang tinitingnan mo?" tanong ni Hans na lumapit sa akin at inabutan ako ng yosi. "Yung pinsan ni Clay," sagot ko ng hindi tinatanggal ang pagkakatingin sa kanya. I fell in love at first sight. I admit it. "Dude, punta ako sa bahay niyo mamaya," paalala ko kay Clay. "Sige dude."I got chance to finally meet her. Mas maganda pala siya sa malapitan. "Apakaarte," nakangising sabi ko habang nakatingin sa kanya. Umirap naman siya sa akin agad. "Apakaattitude."She makes face. I chuckled. She's cute. Finally, I got her attention.

  • Where You Can't Stay Forever    Chapter 69

    Sixty-nineHave you ever dealt with something you can't handle? Dealing with it, until you realize something won't be the same again. Maybe that's how it really works, that you can't hold everything, that there are things that you need to let go for you to hold yourself from falling apart. "Ate, you're drinking again?" Ella asked as soon as she saw me at the veranda. "I'm not drinking, I'm just unwinding," I plainly answered as I drink in one shot the beer in can I'm holding. I heaved a deep sigh as I stared blankly at the sky above us. Even the sky is freakingly not on my side, there's no stars, even the moon is hiding from me. It's been a week since I decided to get back. As soon as the gallery finished, I immediately booked a flight. Wala na akong rason pa para mag stay sa Pilipinas. Yes, I do have my family there and friends, but I don't think it's enough for me to stay. "New York is still the same," I muttered to myself as I pursed my lips and closed my eyes intently when a

    Sixty-eightI successfully park the car outside the Korean restaurant. Nauna akong lumabas sa kanya at naglakad papasok sa resto. I can't breathe with him by my side. His giving me feelings I tried to forget. Every time I stared at his eyes, akala ko okay na ako, but everything just turned upside down. My efforts just got wasted all of a sudden. Yes, I still like him... no, I still love him, but I freakingly know that we can't be together anymore. He already have Angel-eech. He turned his back at me again, while I'm still waiting for him to get me back. Sumuko na naman siya dahil lang sinabi ko sa kanya na everything is a mistake that night. Hindi ako maghahabol, dahil hindi iyon gawin ng magaganda. The foods I ordered just came, napatingin ako sa labas dahil hindi pa rin dumarating si Chaster. O freaking come on.Mariin kong naipikit ang mga mata ko. Tatayo na sana ako para puntahan siya ng bigla siyang pumasok. Pinanood ko siya habang nililibot ang mga mata niya sa kabuuan ng rest

    Sixty-seven"Ate, problem," bungad agad ni Ella sa akin pagkapasok na pagkapasok niya sa office ko. By the expression of her face and on how she reacts, I might say that it's really a problem. I put down the folder I'm holding, and took off my Bone Prone Optical Glasses of Chrome Hearts as I raised a brow at her."What?"She heaved a deep sigh as she place the folder she's holding to my table. My brows immediately furrowed when I saw what's in the folder. "I contacted the owner of the photo-art the other day, remember the owner of 'Sweet Dull Memories' na kasali sa exhibit next week. I did reached her —" "So? What's the catch? I told you to settle those arts rights?" "She suddenly said that she doesn't want her work to be displayed." I stared at her, trying to process what she just said. "A collector just contacted me and saw our pamphlet to our website, and she want that certain photo-arts personally."I massage my temple out of frustration all of a sudden. O freaking come on,

    Sixty-sixI've never been good of leaving things behind, because I'm always be the one who is being left behind, but despite of that I learned so many things, like finding out who's there for me, and never left when I needed someone the most. I learned to face everything without fear. I learned to forgive but I know I'll never forger everything. "Will you still keep someone that hurt you and cause you so much pain?" Pare-pareho nila akong nilingon ng magsalita ako"Oo naman," sagot agad ni Sunny na wala man lang pagdadalawang isip"No," firmed na sagot ni Vivi"Why not?" taas kilay na sagot ni Shantelle "What for?" simpeng sagot ni MilleThey have different point of views and thoughts. Maybe because, we have different experiences. We tend to still accept someone despite of hurting us, not because they're being martyr, but because they sitll love that someone. On the contrary, some people doesn't want to try it again, not because they're coward, but because they are too afraid to be

    Sixty-five"Chaster and I, are dating," she happily announced at the middle of the dinner. Napuno ng tanungan ang hapag kainan habang ako ay patuloy pa ring kumakain. Ramdam ko ang tingin sa akin ng mga pinsan ko pero hindi ko na lang ito pinansin. "What? You and Kuya Chaster are dating?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Ella. "Actually po, I didn't expect din po that he'll asked me out, kasi I'm still rooting him with Dashelle."I sneered. I couldn't stop myself to glare at her. Is she for real? O freaking come on. "Ya. Being hypocrite doesn't have cure," I mocked as I sip onto my wine. "If you really dating him, you freakingly don't need to drag my name out. Halatang nagpapabida ka na naman," dagdag ko. I don't know what's her deal. O freaking come on. So they're dating? Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kutsarang hawak ko. "I'm just saying lang naman," she fake a smile. My brows furrowed. "So? Do I need to care with your relationship?"What's wrong with this bitch? O geez. So she wante

    Sixty-four Last day na namin ngayon, maagang natapos ang convention dahil magkakaroon ng party mamayang gabi. Ella and I just spend our free time sleeping. Chaster is so persistent, he really never failed to annoys me. Ugh. Nagising ako ng tumunog ang phone ko. Half-sleep, I answered the call. "What?" tamad na tamad na tanong ko. Halos hindi ko pa maibukas ang mata ko dahil sa antok. (I love you—) Mas mabilis pa kay flash na inend ko ang call ng marinig ko kung sino ang tumawag. Binato ko sa kung saan ang phone ko. Narinig ko itong tumunog pero hinayaan ko na lang ito.Another way to pester me. He really knows his ways. "Saan ka pupunta, Ate? Akala ko ba hindi ka a-attend sa party?" tanong ni Ella na busy pa rin sa pag aayos niya para sa party. She'll going to attend the party. "Do I need to ask permission or report to you everything I do?" I asked with my brow archedHumaba naman agad ang nguso niya. Kinuha niya ang coat niya na nakapatong sa kama niya at sinuot ito. We hav

    Sixty-three"Ate," tawag pansin sa akin ni Ella ng dinantay ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. "I'm so sleepy. The presentation is so boring," I said yawning. My eyes unintentionally closed, because I freakingly am so sleepy. I woke up early in the morning just to hear some boring presentations? O freaking come on. "Just wake me up when it's done," tamad na tamad na turan ko. Kinawit ko ang braso ko sa braso niya para mas maging komportable ako sa paghilig sa kanya. Hindi naman na siya nagreklamo. "Just go back to your hotel room if you're just going to sleep here."Nagpantig ang tenga ko dahil sa narinig ko, at tila nawala ang pagkakaantok ko. Taas kilay kong tinignan ang nagsalita, it's Chaster na nakaupo sa likuran ko, straight face at emotionless lang ang tingin niya sa akin na tumagal ng ilang segundo bago siya nag iwas nang tingin at tinuon ang atensyon sa harapan. "Conceited pathetic idiotic moronic sleazy freaking creature," sambit ko. Muli niya akong nilingon, ngayon ay ma

    Sixty-two "What do you want to talk about?" I asked with my brow furrowed as soon as I saw him sitting comfortably at the couch near the glass window of the restaurant. He smiled and wave his hand when he saw me. I just rolled my eyes. I placed my bag at the table and sat comfortably in front of him with my cross legs and arms. "Let’s eat first," he said instead answering my question. I flipped my hair beautifully with class. He started eating na as soon I sat down while me still busy showing my hates to him."Huwag mo kong masyadong titigan, baka mafall ka ulit sa akin." I chuckled sarcastically as I flipped my hair elegantly. "Excuse me? I'm not staring at you, it just happened that you're in front of me," I stated fiercely, baka isipin niya tinititigan ko talaga siya. "Fall my ass," I added. Doh? There's no hell way I do that. He chuckled as if he was so amaze on what I've said. "I'm just joking you don't need to be guilty." Agad nag salubong ang kilay ko dahil sa sinabi
