I was currently working on some paperwork nang biglang tumawag si mama.I answered the call while still looking at the papers.“Hi, ma! What’s up?” I greeted.“Hi, honey. How’s work?”“It’s great. I am doing fine. I’m currenly working on our project for next month.” I answered.“It’s good to hear that. Pwede bang iwan mo muna ‘yan even for just three hours?”Napatigil naman ako sa ginagawa ko. “Why, ma? May kailangan ka ba?”“Nothing, honey. Wala kasi akong kasama ngayon. Naisipan ko lang na makipagbonding sa ‘yo. Gusto ko namang makasama nang kaming dalawa lang ang isa sa mga prinsesa ko. And besides, you have been working all week. You need a break.”“You know the pressure, ma. Ilang linggo na lang ay magaganap na ang party. Kailangan kong maging hands on baka pumalya pa tayo. Ayoko naman na mapahiya kayo.”“I know naman na hindi mangyayari ‘yon ‘cause you are the best. Magaling ka sa ginagawa mo. Hindi mangyayaring mapapahiya kami dahil sa ‘yo. Come on. Take a break kahit saglit. S

Late na akong natapos sa ginagawa ko. At para makapag unwind, pinili kong maglakad-lakad muna sa isang park na malapit lang sa building namin.The past few days has been quite stressful. Ang sakit ng pwet at balakang ko sa kakaupo. Halos hindi ko na magawa ang regular exercise na ginagawa ko.Suddenly, a thought about Vish came inside my head. Ano kaya ang itsura niya? Gwapo kaya siya? Why was he so confident when he said he will be competing with Ev? He won't say it siguro kung wala siyang panlaban.I laughed at my own thought. Pareho kaming walang profile pictures sa mga accounts namin kaya hindi namin alam ang itsura ng isa't isa.I went to sit on one of the beach. In front of me is the calm ocean which added beauty to this park especially when it’s night. There are warm color of street lights.This is the kind of scene I always sees in a romantic movies. There are couples around me na masayang nagkekwentuhan at nagtatawanan. This place suits for lovely couple who want some time wi

"I was what?" Tumaas na ang boses ko dahil sa sobrang pagkabigla.Namatay ako? Tapos binigyan pa nila ako ng desenteng burol? Seryoso ba ‘to?"You died. Matindi ang tinamo mong mga sugat sa kamay ng tiyuhin mo. You were almost unrecognizable. The fact also na hindi na stable ang katawan at kalusugan mo during that time, it was almost likely impossible for you to survive. You were declared dead after several hours. But, after everybody left, it was only you and me inside your hospital room, nang bigla na lang bumalik ang tibok ng puso mo. Nabuhay ka ulit and I told that news to your parents. But they had other plans. They wanted to protect from further damages so they decided to keep that fact from anybody else, even to your friends. Gumawa kami ng paraan para mailabas ka ng bansa and we succeeded. Hindi rin kami makapaniwala noong una na nabuhay ka ulit. Later on, I found out na nagkaroon ng mixed up ng mga resulta sa lab. Napunta sa ‘yo ang mga maling resulta. It turns out na hindi n

The party then started. The speaker started introducing the people responsible for this party including the president.This party is just a celebration for the success of partnership of foreign investors with this country.Every well-known companies' presence is important in this event. Isa iyon sa paraan para ipakita ang pagsuporta at tagumpay.There were music performances, from soft pace to high vibing songs.I somewhat enjoyed the show. Pero ang mga katabi ko, halos mamuti na ang mga mata sa pagkabagot.Nanatili lang akong nakaupo sa loob ng isang oras. Hanggang sa naisipan ko ng tumayo."Excuse me, girls. I'll just get to the restroom." I said.Tumango lang sila sa akin. "Don't be out too long. At least may kasama kaming mabagot dito." Segunda ng isa. Tinawanan ko lang silang dalawa bago umalis.I went straight to the bathroom and went to one of the cubicles. I can say that no one else is inside.After a few minutes, I heard the entrance door open. After doing my things, I went o

When we arrived at our room, mahimbing na ang tulog ng anak ko, may kasama pang cute na tunog ng paghilik.Dahan-dahan ko siyang inihiga sa kama saka kinumutan pagkatapos ay lumabas na ng kwarto. Nadatnan kong prenteng naghihintay si Ev. Lumapit ako sa kanya.Inabot niya ang dalawang palad ko saka ngumiti siya sa akin. “Thanks for accompanying me tonight.”I smiled back at him. “This is nothing compares to all the things you have done for us. Xyrie was tired. Thank you for treating us today.”He hugged me and I hugged him back. Kaagad rin na naghihiwalay ang mga katawan namin.“I should be get going now.”Tumango ako. “Okay. Have a good night sleep.”He then left saka pumasok sa kwarto na katabi lang ng sa amin. Pumasok na rin ako sa loob saka nilock ang pinto.Hinubad ko ang lahat ng saplot ko sa katawan saka pumasok sa banyo at pumailalim sa malamig na shower.Out of nowhere, bigla na lang pumasok sa isip ko ang nangyari kanina malapit sa balkonahe. I could still feel his lips on mi
