Past “His sister died because of Elijah...that what Morgan thinks and believe”. Sabay kaming napalingon ni Chim sa pinto. Yuhan entered. His eyes falls in me. There's glint in it that I don't understand. Bumuntong hininga ito.“When we were in college, Morgan's sister admires Elijah. She always does things just to get his attention.But you know, knowing him hindi yun basta-basta pumapatol sa hindi niya gusto. Lalo na ang mga naghahabol sa kanya, until one day…that girl threatened Elijah na magpapakamatay siya kung di ito papayag na makipag relasyon sa kanya”. “Pumayag siya?”. Tanong ko. Nalaki ang mga mata ko ng umiling si Yuhan. “Hindi”. Bumuntong hininga ito. “The girl died in her room and as the investigation came out, she is really obsessed with Elijah, mas malala pa sa stalker. Agad kaming ipinadala sa America pagkatapos ng insidenteng yun. The family Morgan issued an apology to the Ford and Rocaford for dragging Elijah’s name to their daughter’s death, but not the eldest

Taken .......... It was already past 4 in the afternoon when we decided to call it a day. Wala na din namang gaanong tao kaya naman nagligpit na kami. Speaking of him... Elijah is sticking next to me for the whole afternoon, he never leave my side, hindi ko ito pinapansin. Kaya naman panay ang tingin ng ilang taong nandoon dahil panay ang sunod nito kung saan man ako pumunta. “Hinahanap ka nila”. Saad ko dito. Ngunit prenteng nakaupo lang sa tabi ko. Tamad niya akong tiningnan. “I don’t care”. Saad nito. “Make it fast so we can go home”. Bumaling ako dito. Go home? “May pupuntahan kami mamaya. You can go home if you want”. Sagot ko dito ng hindi ito tinitingnan. “Hindi ka aalis”. Maikling saad nito. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko sa gulat kaya naman binalingan ko ito ng tingin. “What? You have no right to make decision on what I have to do”. Masungit kung sagot dito. “Still angry?”. Malumanay nitong saad kita ko ang pagpipigil nitong ngumiti. Umirap lang ako. Angry ka dyan!

Totally Different I woke up when I felt something heavy is on the top of my stomach. Elijah’s body covering mine.Sinilip ko ang wall clock sa tabi at alas kwatro palang pala ng madaling araw. He is hugging me tight. Napansin kung nakadamit na ako. Siguro ay binihisan niya ako kagabi.Dinig ko ang malakas na hampas ng alon mula sa tabing dagat. Nilingon ko ulit ito.Ang maamo nitong mukha ay malaya kung napag masdan. Elijah is extremely handsome.I can't believe we did it. Humarap ako sa kanya at isiniksik ang sarili sa kanyang leeg.I love this feeling. I hope this won’t last. I’ll make sure of that.“I love you”. I whisper before going back to sleep.I woke up again from his tickling kisses.“Good morning baby”. Bungad nito sakin ng nagmulat ako ng mga mata. He kiss me on my lips. Agad naman akong nag iwas.“Afraid of bad breath?”. Natatawa nitong saad. Tinulak ko ito at naupo sa kama.I am also wearing his cotton short. Napansin nito na tinitingnan ko ang suot ko.“You passed out

SPG ..........Nagising ako na sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko. Am I having a fever after I cried last night? O dahil na din sa pagod?Ang malas naman! 5am in the morning kaya naman bumangon na ako. I have an early appointment with Mrs. Ricaford at ayaw kung palagpasin ito.Pagkatapos maligo at uminom ng gamot ay medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam ko.Bagsak ang balikat ko habang naglalakad patungo sa sasakyan ko. Nang makasakay ako ay tsaka ko lang hinarap ang cellphone ko and its dead. Hindi ko pa mahagilap ang charger ko.Pagdating sa hospital ay agad akong binati ng mga ka trabaho, including Lala.“Lala, please arrange the schedule of Mrs. Ricaford”. Sabi ko dito habang naghahanap ng antibiotics to lessen my fever.“Um..doc, you didn’t get the memo? It was sent to your email last night.”Napabaling ako dito.“What memo?”. Takang tanong ko.“Mrs. Ricaford canceled her appointment, according to her she is traveling abroad and she is accompanied with a specialist kaya naman pumayag si Dr. G

Hindi susuko ‘Dr. Gay Disgusting whore Levy Verde has seen with three men in his unit while his boyfriend is away’ - Anonymous It was attached with a picture of me and Elijah’s bodyguards while we are talking outside my unit. I was smiling widely dahil sa mga biro ni Matias and it seems that I am flirting. Napailing ako. Now he is attacking me in social media. It was tagged all over my social media. “Pinaglalaruan tayo ng lalaking yan dahil alam niyang di siya makakalapit sayo”. Saad naman ni Matias. “Let him be, I’ll block that site right away”.
