WE WERE CURRENTLY at the place where we were having our retreat. Bilang simula ay nagkaroon kami ng groupings for a certain activity. Chadleen and I were not still on good terms. I mean, I am still on good terms with her. We were civil with each other, but she was… unusually quiet, short-tempered, and withdrawn.
Nagulat din ako kanina kasi nagkainitan nang sobra silang dalawa ni Ruby Lane sa laro. Mabuti na lang at naawat naman namin agad iyon. ISTG, that was the first time I saw her that easily pissed at pumatol pa talaga. It was shocking because that was my usual doings and not hers. Kaya nga natulala lang ako habang inaawat na sila ng mga kasama namin. I could not help but wonder on what really happened that night when I was out of mind. Before we saw the fugly creature that time, Chadleen was so protective of Ruby Lane and was always making sure to include her in the safe zone. Right now, parang gusto niya na lang itong kalbuhin at ipakain doon sa

WARNING: Contains scenes not suitable for young audiences. Reader discretion is advised.NAPABALING AKO SA taong nasa likuran ko nang maramdaman ko ang pagpulupot ng mga braso niya sa beywang ko. I smiled when my nose touched Deon's cheek.“Bakit nandito ka? It's already late.” I narrowed my eyes into slits. “Tumakas ka sa quarters niyo ha no?”He chuckled and pecked on my lips. His dimpled smile show when he withdrew from the kiss.“Nagpaalam ako.”“Sa facilitator niyo?”“Kay Felix.”Tinampal ko siya sa may braso niya dahilan para mahina siyang mapahalakhak. He hugged me tighter from the back, so I just returned my attention onto the overlooking view of the entire province from where we were both standing.“Congrats nga pala, Baleleng.”“Sus, nagpatalo ka ata, e.”He chuckle
I GROANED WHEN I moved my body but with my eyes still closed. My down there was sore. I quickly opened my eyes when I remembered what happened last night. Napabalikwas naman agad ako sa gulat dahil mukha ni Chadleen na nakayuko habang nakatanaw sa akin ang nabungaran ko. We even bumped our heads and tended to them right after.“Chadleen Iya!” sigaw ko habang sapo iyong natamaang parte ng noo ko. “Bakit kasi ang lapit mo?! Ayos ka lang?” nag-aalalang tanong ko sa kanya kapagkuwan.Tumango-tango naman siya habang hawak din iyong noo niya. I silently hissed when I felt my soring bud again. Gosh… I admit that the sex was so fetch but the consequence when you wake up the next day, you lost all the fairytales. Sakit na lang talaga ang naiwan.“Anong oras ka na nakauwi kagabi?” she asked me.Napatitig ako sa kanya dahil hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. I raised my arms to check on it. Napakunot ang noo k
AGAD AKONG NAPANGITI nang maamoy ko ang pamilyar na lalaki na iyon. I held his hands that were covering both of my eyes while he was at my back. I really waited for him after his training. Nasa may canteen ako ngayon kasama si Chadleen habang hinihintay namin siyang matapos mag-shower at magpalit.“Hulaan mo kung sino ako.”Natawa pa ako kasi nag-effort pa talaga siyang baguhin ang boses niya para hindi ko mahulaan. Sus, ang cute-cute naman ng labs ko.“Ang pinakamamahal ko,” I said and he chuckled. It died down immediately when I have given my follow-up remark. “Si Gong Yoo.”“Si Gong Yoo ba? Akala ko si Gideon?” pambawi naman niya.Napahalakhak ako at bahagyang kinurot saka inalis na sa pagkakatakip sa mga mata ko iyong mga kamay niya saka siya inayang maupo sa tabi ko. He crouched first to peck on my lips before sitting beside me.“Si Felix, hindi pa bumabalik?”
GIDEON HAD ALWAYS been extra caring and loving of me. Nasa point na ako ng relasyon namin na nahihiya na ako sa mga binibigay niya. I want to give him something, too. Iyon bang maipaparamdam ko sa kanya iyong lubos na pasasalamat ko at pagmamahal sa lahat ng mga pag-aalaga at pagmamahal na inialay niya para sa akin.I pushed the stop button on the treadmill and held on to the handles as I catch my breath. I was exercising with my cycling and racerback on sa may gym area namin. I was with Chadleen who was busy meditating and doing some yoga on her mat on the floor.“Chad…” I called her.Tumigil naman siya sa ginagawa niya upang ituon ang buong atensyon sa akin. “Yes, couz?”“Can you help me?”“Saan?”I scratched my right eyebrow and contemplated whether I should tell her or not. Of course, I need suggestions on what I was planning. I need to hear what Chadleen had to say
I FIGURED THAT in life, when you give up the one that you love, you lose. Talo ka hindi lang sa pag-ibig at buhay. You also deprived yourself of your right and chance to be happy and be better. Ayokong sukuan si Deon hindi lang dahil ayokong maging malungkot sa buhay. Ayoko siyang sukuan dahil mahal ko siya. Lalaban ako dahil papatunayan ko sa kanyang totoo iyong nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. I will apologize to him and chase him even if it takes me a century to have his forgiveness and to prove how genuine and immense the love I had for him.“Deon, pwede ba tayong mag-usap?” tanong ko, hindi na bale kung nahinto man ang tawanan ng mga kaklase ni Richelle sa table nila nang lapitan ko.Napansin ko kaninang hindi naman nakikipagtawanan si Deon sa kanila. Malayo ang tingin nito at tahimik lang saka seryoso sa kinauupuan niya. Deon and Richelle both looked at me.“Rich, mauna na kami ha?” paalam ng isa sa mga kaklase niya s
ANG DAMI-DAMI KO na ngang problema at iniisip, dumagdag pa iyong nalaman ko kay Ruby Lane noong isang gabi. Richelle hurt her. I glanced at her vacant seat. Wala pa ring nakaupo ro’n ngayon dahil absent pa rin siya ngayong araw. She might be mean but I still hope that she was well now. I deeply regret what I did to her the night we confronted each other. Hindi tama iyon at hindi makatao. I was never raised to become violent and to harm another. Sana talaga ay okay lang siya.Nang sulyapan ko naman ang pwesto ni Deon ay naabutan kong nakasubsob ang mukha nito sa mga braso niyang nasa ibabaw ng desk niya. Ilang araw na kaming hindi nag-uusap at nagpapansinan. Hanggang malayong tingin na lang ako sa kanya kahit na gustong-gusto ko na siyang lapitan at kausapin ulit. Pansin ko nga ring lagi siyang ganoon nitong mga nakaraang araw – pagod at madalas inaantok. I wonder if he had a problem apart from what we were currently having. Gustong-gusto ko siyang
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION was supposed to be one of our happiest days, but in my case, it was both the happiest and saddest. Happy kasi finally, I will be embarking on another journey and that was college. Excited na akong kumuha ng kursong fashion designing at gumawa ng sarili kong marka sa industriyang tatahakin ko. Malungkot kasi magsisimula na naman kami ulit sa panibagong lugar at ng panibagong buhay. Iiwanan na namin dito lahat… at hindi na babalikan. Ang sakit-sakit lang kasi ayoko siyang iwan pero wala akong magagawa kasi pareho na kaming nakapili, e, at hindi namin pwedeng piliin ang bawat isa.Sa gitna ng mga estudyanteng naghahagis ng mga graduation cap nila ay nahuli ko ang tingin ni Deon sa akin. Tingin lang talaga, walang kangiti-ngiti, pero kita ko sa mga mata niya ang lungkot at sakit. Mahal ko siya, mahal na mahal pero siguro tama talaga siya, e, hanggang dito na lang kami.Nang muling tawagin ng principal ang atensyon namin sa har
WHO WOULD HAVE thought na ang taong nagtaboy sa akin ng araw na iyon ay siyang mismong lalapit sa akin ngayon? May pabaon pang isang bagay na pareho naming hindi inaasahan. I mean, I really thought that what happened between us would not result to something. Although we were not really protected during our first intercourse, but as primitive my idea as it sounded, but I really believe na hindi nga magkakaroon ng bunga iyon kasi nga first time namin! Ang mas hindi ko pa inaasahan ay si Deon pa talaga ang magbubuntis tapos witch pala kami and werewolf din siya. Ang galing-galing naman talaga. What a plot twist! Grabeng buhay ‘to, parang fantaserye!Napabaling ako kay Deon nang dahan-dahan na siyang mahiga sa kama ko… namin na pala. He already removed his shoes, and I found them neatly placed on my shoe rack. Napansin naman niya ang paninitig ko roon. He was really like my mother – maasikaso, masipag, at organized.“Pasensya ka na
