#MTDC13: Story’s Other Side Pt. 1 “Oh  my gosh, girls! You won't believe what I’m gonna tell you!” Jovy shrieked. Mukhang masyado siyang excited sa kung ano man ang sasabihin niya sa amin.“Kung tungkol lang din naman ‘yan sa mga lalaki mo, ‘wag na lang. We’re not interested,” Soffi coldly responded. Sinabayan niya pa iyon ng pag-irap.“Ikaw talaga ang panira sa kaligayahan ko Soffi, ‘no? Bitter ka masyado. Halatang ‘di pa nakaka-move on sa ex!” sagot naman ni Jovy at nagsimula na naman silang magbangayan.I was just silently watching them. Nakatutuwang isipin na kahit kailan ay wala talaga silang pinagbago. Minsan na nga lang kami magkita, hindi pa rin nila maiwasang magtarayan. Well, maybe they wouldn’t ever change kahit siguro hanggang sa tumanda na kami.“How about you, Symp? How’s

#MTDC13: Story’s Other Side Pt.3 WESLEY4 YEARS AGO… “Tangina naman, Wesley! Ikakasal na tayo, eh! Handa na ang lahat, ‘di ba? Pero bakit ganito? B-Bakit naman ganito?!”My whole system feels numb, not because of the hard slaps and punches she threw to me, but because of the thought that I had hurt her. That I am the fucking reason of her tears… and that I am breaking her. Charitee’s continuous sobs that lingers on my ears is the most painful sound that I had ever heard in my entire life.“Charitee… b-babe…” I tried reaching her hands, but she took a step backwards. It was like I am some

#MTDC14: Caged Pt.2 People envy me simply because I am a Del Martin.They say that the name given to me fits me so well as they all believe that I am living a harmonious life. Just because I am the daughter of Gregorio Del Martin, they thought I am enjoying a life that's free from all the difficulties in the world. But little did they know that my name was the complete opposite of the life that I have.Symphony Del Martin...Bringing that name, I am living a life that was full of agony, discomfort and misfortune. My life is a splintered melody... It is very chaotic.I stared at him, and tried to match the intensity of his gazes. Pagod na akong palaging talo. Pagod na akong maging kawawa. Hinahayaan ko siya n

#MTDC15: Love Is Not Dead Pt.1 Nanlalaki ang mga matang nakatitig lang ako sa kanila. Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, nakita ko na naman kung paano halos magpatayan si Wesley at Red. But this time, it was different. Literal na parang gusto nang patayin ng magpinsan ang isa't isa.In fear that both of them might end up dying in front of me, mabilis ko silang nilapitan at pilit na hinahatak si Wesley palayo kay Red na ngayon ay halos mapuno na ng dugo ang mukha.No one's talking. They were just aiming to hit each other's faces with their hard punches."Wesley! Wesley, tama na! Tigilan mo na si Red!" I screamed in horror when his punch once again hit Red's face. "Wesley, ano ba?!" Marahas kong nilingon ang mga tauhan ni Wesley na parang nanonood lang ng palabas. What the fuck are they doing? "Ano?! Hahayaan niyo lang ba talagang magpatayan ang dalawa rito?" sigaw ko sa kanila. Sabay nilang nilingon 'yung lalaking pinakamalaki ang k

#MTDC15: Love is Not Dead Pt.3 “Maaari ko bang malaman ang pangalan mo, hijo?” tanong ni Governor Del Martin hindi pa man ako tuluyang nakakaupo.“Reagan Dwight Guzman po, Governor,” sagot ko. Pauwi na sana ako galing sa eskwela nang sinundo ako ng isa sa mga bodyguards niya at sinabing nais daw makipag-usap ng Papa ni Symphony sa akin, kaya pinaunlakan ko ang imbitasyon niya."May nakapag sabi sa akin na may relasyon kayo ng anak ko. Totoo ba iyon?"  Humugot ako ng malalim hininga bago buong galang na sumagot, "Opo, Sir. Magkasintahan po kami ng anak ninyo."Tinanggal niya ang suot na eyeglasses at humalukipkip. Humilig naman siya sa upuan niya saka ako muling binalingan ng tingin.
