"Where have you been?" seryosong tanong sa akin ni Daddy. He looks mad as well, pero kasalanan ko pa ba? "Dad, please... I'm tired," I told him. I'm about to walk away but he holds my wrist. "Magbihis ka na, we're going to a birthday party." Matapos niyang sabihin 'yon ay binitawan niya rin ang kamay ko. As I went to my room I saw Mang Carlos, running towards me. I look at him and waited because he looks like he wanted to tell me something. "Sorry Lyka, nasiraan kasi kanina kaya natagalan akong sunduin ka. Pagkarating ko naman doon, wala ka na. Saan ka sumakay? Sinong naghatid sa'yo?" sunod sunod niyang tanong, halatang nag aalala. I smile and tapped his shoulder. "Okay, lang po... B-but someone gets my wallet po," I told him then vowed my head. "Na holdup po ako kanina," nakayukon

When Monday comes I become very busy at school. Montalban University got so many events that I almost went home late. Mayroon kasing sports fest na magaganap at maglalaban laban ang ibat ibang department para roon. Mayroon ding Mr. and Miss. Sports fest na magaganap. I will be the one who will represent the BIM Department because my classmates and Sir Hari voted for me. Sino ba naman ako para tumanggi pa?!"Unang lalabas ang juniors tapos sa kaliwa naman ang pasok. Pagkatapos noon ay susundan ng seniors at sa kanan naman pasok." Paliwanag sa amin ng coordinator. Kasama ang iba pang napili para sa representative ng iba't ibang department, ay narito kami ngayon sa stage at nag pa-practice.  "Sino ba ang representative na lalaki para sa HRM senior department?! Bakit hanggang ngayon ay wala pa? Hindi tayo matatapos nito kung hindi k

"Hey, love," I whispered to Lucas as he listened to what does Sir Hari talking about. He was so focused and serious as if Sir Hari was his lifeline. "Hey, talk to me naman," muli kong bulong sa kaniya. Nanatili lang siyang tahimik at nakatuon ang pansin sa harap. Para bang hindi ako nag e-exist sa tabi niya, at tila ba hindi niya rin ako naririnig. I was about to call him again but he raise his hand causing me to stop."Yes, Mr. Moris?" Lucas stands up then looks around. He seems to look for something, not minding us that looked at him curiously. "Is there any vacant chair?" He asked Sir Hari, which made my eyes grow bigger. "Ayaw ko ng may katabing maingay. I don't need a distraction, I can't focus because of her voice." "Sorry, Mr. Moris bu

"Let us all welcome our contestant number one. From BIM Department, Lilac Lyka Dela Vega!" I took a deep breath then smile as I hear my name. Some students were shouting for my name too, tho I don't have any idea that they know me. I went to the middle of the stage, facing the crowds with a smile on my lips.  "Are you ready? And since you were the youngest contestants, what do you feel right now?" The emcee asked me while placing the microphone in front of me. I look at the crowd, trying to find the man that I wanted to see. But, I can't see him in the middle of those students who are watching. Siguro nga ay hindi siya dumadalo sa ganitong program ng school."Nothing," baliwalang sagot ko, wala naman talaga akong nararamdaman. Should I feel nervous? Ano naman ngayon kun

Hanggang ngayon ay Hindi ko pa rin alam kung matatawa ba ako o maiinis sa pagkaing dinala sa akin ni Lilac sa opisina. To the point na nag effort pa siya roon, nag-aksaya lang siya ng oras!  Those hotdogs that she cooked were sweet! Too sweet na kulang na lang ay mamaga ang ngipin ko! While the egg was salty, isang kilong asin yata ang nilagay niya! Ganoon pa man ay kinain ko pa rin, bawal kasing magtapon ng grasya, kaya kahit katapon-tapon 'yon ay pinagtiyagaan ko pa rin.  I take off my tuxedo and lay on the couch to gather some rest. Napakaraming trabaho ang inasikaso ko sa kumpanya, it was tiring. Habang lumalaki kasi ang Moris Hotel and Restaurant dumarami rin ang tumatangkilik dito. Lumalaki ang kumpanya, dumarami ang empleyedo. But what made me felt tired more? Was the fact that I was thinking about Lilac the whole day, fuck! And speaking of th
