Chapter 1| The Playboy

"I hate you!" *Slap! "Ooooow." (the crowd) My head turned to the left-right after this bitch slap my handsome face. I immediately touch my jaw and looks at my friends Josh, Arthur, Abegail and Jessica who were smiling and chuckling except for Max who was just serious watching the scene. I felt my cheek heat up by the force of her slap but instead of enduring the pain, I smirked and looked at them. The three women were crying while this one young lady in front of me was looking at me furiously. She's the one who slapped me a while ago. I stand up straight and stared at her from head to toe. Who is this — ow! She's the cheerleader of the University's basketball team, right? I don't know her name but not bad. I grinned. I look again to the other girls. They are crying so bad. Why are they crying? I hooked them up at the sam

Chapter 2| The Punishment

"How are you?" "Fuck you!" He laughed after I scolded him. I shook my head. "Tita scolded you last night, isn't she?" he teased and wiggled his eyebrows as he followed me walking down the hallway of the university. "Because you're such a pain in my ass. You always wanted to be the best." I hissed bitterly. I could see the grin on his face slowly fading. He averted his gaze to our way. I hate him! I hate him for being my cousin! "Haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's eat. My treat. Let's go to the cafeteria." he offered. I took a glance at him and keep my both hands on my pant's pocket. He never changes. I know this is how he says sorry since we were little up until now. "Okay." I agreed and we went to the cafeteria together. * * * * "Carbonara with one p

A tricycle is a three-wheeled vehicle.They put my suitcase on the roof of the tricycle while Miggy's belongings were on the back. They even tied it with a rope to keep it from falling.When we were sure our belongings are okay, we got inside the tricycle.The place is crowded.I said at the back of my mind as I looked around. I notice the houses got fewer and fewer and fewer. It seems that we are crossing the province right now. The road is a bit forested to look at.I gulp. Nothing else enters my mind but wrong turn the movie that Arthur, Josh

Chapter 4| Interrogation

We are now sitting in the living room. I was next to Verna while I was opposite Tatay Mario and his sons. The others sitting on the floor.They just stared at me while Verna just bowed her head. Looks like she was embarrassed about what's happening right now.I feel like I was going to melt like ice cream the way how Tatay Mario glared at me. I gulp. It losing me the courage to speak even more. I feel like everything I am going to say should be favoured by them all.I glanced at Miggy's room when the door opened. My monkey cousin busy stretching his arms and yawning. When they saw us sitting in the living room, he spoke."Good morning! What's happening in here, guys? What's up?" he innocently asked while there's a smile on his face. Tatay Mario and his sons just stared in my cousin's direction. Didn't utter any word.Miggy's smile on his face fades away. He shifted his gaze in my direction

Mom is here in the province. She was waiting for us in town to pick her up. We immediately ride in the three-wheel vehicle tricycle to go to her place.When we got in there, we get out of the tricycle then pay the fair fee to the driver. My mother saw us quickly. She runs in our direction and hugs me tightly."My honey!" She exclaimed and then after a second, let go of the hug."How are you here, son? Why you cannot go home yet?" She asked worryingly and look at my cousin."Let's talk about it Mommy in Manang Leti's house," I replied weakly and got inside her car."Okay, honey," Mommy replied and look again at my cousin. Seems she's asking my cousin what's happening by using her stare. Miggy just silently shrugged his shoulders.After half an hour, we're already here at Manang Leti's house. My cousin carries the baggage of my mother then we entered inside. We saw Tatay Mario in the living room silently sitting on the wooden chair."Ma

Chapter 6| The Bonding

The next morning."Cousin, can you go with Verna for a walk at the river?" asking a favour of Miggy who is now chopping wood here in the yard.I looked at him in disbelief."Me?" I fantastically asked while pointing at myself.Miggy stopped chopping the wood and wiped his sweat with the clothes he had taken off. I winced at what I saw.This man is gross."The brothers are in the rice field right now. They helping Tatay Mario on the farm," he explained and sat down on a wooden chair. I sat next to him."And so?""Come with her." he sparingly answered without even looking at me.I thought for a moment about his favour then suddenly, I smiled widely. Maybe, there's no one else in the river, right?"Okay." I agreed while there's a devilish smile on my face.My cousin looked at me critically. To my surprise, he glared at me."Don't do anything stupid. That's Manang Leti only daughter."

This is the day, the day that I will lose my freedom. Shit!I walk back and forth to the room I am occupying. I've already dressed in a tuxedo for the wedding. I kept biting my fist and couldn't help but look at the clock.Damn! Why do I have this feeling that I will be hanged on to sentence death?I do not want to! I don't want to!I quickly grabbed my bag hanging behind the door and grabbed a few pieces of clothes, shorts and underwear. After I packed all the things I need temporarily, I was about to leave the room but the door suddenly opened. My cousin appeared in front of the door."Oh? What's wrong with you?" he asked in surprise when he saw that I was tense then, he shifted his gaze at the bag hanging over my shoulder. I tightened my grip on the strap of my bag.The two of us stared at each other."Don't do anything stupid, Alexander," Miggy warned and slowly close the door."C'mon man! C'mon! In the first place, I reall

Verna shared she went to college before but she only finished one semester and she has not been able to continue schooling due to financial problems. So, my Mommy went to the idea to ask her if she wanted to continue studying and she answered yes.

I thought Alexander and I would go home together.I was crossing down the road when suddenly rain."Unlucky me..." I whispered to myself. I ran and looked for shelter. I only see a shelter for about a long distance. I had no choice. I kept running until I was sheltered in there.Maybe I'll before I walk again after the rain.I looked up in the sky and witnessed how dark the sky was. Add the heavyweight of the pouring rain.Pip!!!
