*** "WHAT do you think, Felice, Infinity? Is this good for me?" Angelica asked them if the red gown she was holding would look good on her. It has a simple design, but Infinity thinks that it would be a perfect match for Angelica’s complexion. "It suits you, Angelica. All the gowns you wear are good for you. Your complexion suited every color," Felice answered. "Oh no! It is the same with you. The gowns you fit look good on you too. I also like your complexion. You look like Ms. Venus Raj!” "She's my peg for the awards night! Let's go back to the gown that looks like what she wore during her Ms. Universe competition! I think that is the one I would wear! I feel like I am the queen of the Universe!” Both of the girls laugh at their silliness. Infinity just watched silently from one side. She's not out of place or third wheel to the two. She just prefers to be quiet on one side. Her companions know this. Sometimes she laughs or answers when they ask for her opinion. "How about you

Why are there so many people?” Felice asked them nervously. "What is this? (1)KathNiel’s* new movie red carpet premiere? There are also lots of reporters!” Pipay is also nervous when she sees the swamp of people. They agreed to go together to The Journal's Awards Night. First, it's embarrassing to enter the venue if you're alone. But the main reason is to save money on fares. "I didn't expect so many reporters to come. I think sir Patrick went overboard here." Robin was whispering while they were following the asher to enter the red carpet and the venue. "Our platform has also become quite big. Online reading and writing have become popular. I am not surprised if the media is

*** EVERYONE'S already seated in their designated seats. They are also seated together except for Angelica. She was seated at the tables with the higher-ups. The program started as usual and everyone was shocked by Sir Patrick's opening speech. Or because they are not used to Sir Patrick being formal, like now. There were lots of programs before they could eat, and she could hear Pipay and Robin grumbling because they were so hungry. After some announcement, the host opened the buffet, which means they are already allowed to eat. Actually, The Journal doesn't have many employees. But since this is the first event of the company under Sir Patrick, and the news of its expansion into publishing. It was a piece of big news! That is why there are lots of reporters and business persons present who are also curious about the business flow of a writing platform. There are business people who are still thinking about investing in the company and some are already investors. For Infinity, it

Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik natin Ipapaalala ko sa’yo, ang aking pangako na ang pag-ibig ko’y laging sa’yo Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko. - Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok ko, Moira [version] *** THE program proper had already ended. People were dancing around her. Some of the writers are also talking about their works and how gorgeous they are right now. But Infinity’s still looking at the void. Suddenly, a hand blocked her vision. The hand is asking her for a dance. When her eyes met the owner of the hand, she was not even surprised. "Why are you asking me to dance, sir? Your girlfriend might get angry." She asked. "Cut the sir out, Infinity. We are practically friends. And Grace, as you can see." He points out in the direction where his girlfriend is surrounded by business people. A real social butterfly, well her name itself rings a bell to any people included in the social circle. “Still, this isn't right. You should only dance with her.” He smiled at her as if she said someth

* F L A S H B A C K * *** "A-ARE you happy?" She asked him as they hugged each other in the living room of her rented apartment where they decided to live together from now on. "How many times have you asked that? Didn't I tell you that I'm happy? Very happy." He hugged her tighter. So she put her head on his shoulder more. She slightly moved away from his embrace. Then she stared at his handsome face. "Why are you asking if I'm happy?" He asked her back. "I am just confirming and making sure. I am just afraid that you will regret marrying me afterward." Tears are starting to form in her eyes. It's official! They are now married! "Maybe I'll regret it because my mommy doesn't like you, and then we get married without their consent. They'll be angry and then they'll separate me--Ouch! M-Mahal!" She didn't let him finish what he was saying and gave him a mild smack on the head. She immediately left and sat on their cute sofa. Sofa that can only fit two. He also followed

Why is That?
October XX, 20XX SUBJECT: Why is that? Infinity Janine Ramos Mahal, I won an award! I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed. Because I was awarded the Tragic Writer award. Pipay and Robin made me stand up because they said that no one could win that category but me. They even say they will fly into a range if I don't win. It’s difficult to live without you. But every day, somehow, it gets easier because I have friends like them. Even though they don't know the full details of what happened to us, I know that they will not abandon me and leave me. Tatay June is like a father to me, actually to all of us. It's sad because he's about to retire, but I know he won't leave us soon. And the next person who will be our editor-in-chief seems good and nice also. I cried while giving my acceptance speech. It’s crazy! I feel like I'm in FAMAS and my story won as best script. I honestly don't even know why I cried. But while I was talking, I remembered you.

Pana-panahon ng pagkakataon. Maibabalik ba ang kahapon? - Kanlungan, Noel Cabangon *** WHEN was the last time she was here? She can't remember anymore. Three? Two years have passed? It's not that she has forgotten it, she will never forget it, even for a second. Infinity just chose not to go, so as not to increase the weight and pain in her chest. “It's very annoying, Zeus! It was so frustrating! Why... Why? There are so many songs in the world." She couldn't continue what she had to say there. Too much emotion is already eating her. “Oh, God! It's been a long time. B-But why is it still painful!” She whispered it in the air while holding her chest. She is suffering from emotional pain. It was so painful and heavy that she could already feel it physically. "I never ask for too much. I-I didn't ask for things I knew I didn't deserve." Infinity wiped the tears that had been falling non-stop for a while. "B-But why is the only thing I asked for, why...why can't I get it?"

Infinity is the only one who doesn't care much about it. She is too focused on writing her new story plot for her first-ever paperback story, the same with her ongoing story online. To focus on her writing, she once again went to her favorite coffee shop. She needed to work and write, to forget. Since then, writing has been her safety net.

*** "SIS! You're going to the team building, right?" Robin asked her when she returned to the office. "I-I don't know yet why?" "Pipay and I will go to your apartment tomorrow." "W-Why? What are you going to do in my apartment?" She asked, half worried and nervous. “We will help you arrange your things for the teambuilding!” The two said in unison. "You don’t have to! And there is no food in my apartment!” "Sis! Why are you still embarrassed? We will bring food!” Pipay said. "There's no need for you to fix my stuff. I can do that." She is doing her best to not let them into her apartment. “We know you can fix it! But we also know that you won't join the team building if there is an opportunity! So we will fix your things, so you have no excuses." “Right!” Pipay and Robin made their friendship handshake. She surrendered. He will never really win those two. ~~ "She is so gorgeous!" Robin screamed as he focused on his cell phone. His friends did not hold back, and they w

*** THE day of their team building has arrived. But she is still undecided. Yes, Sir Patrick released a memo stating that it is required for all employees, but maybe he can make an excuse. A medical reason is a compelling excuse in this kind of situation. “You know, Infinity. You are no fun, and very annoying". Pipay is cursing the living hell about her. “You are such a killjoy!” Robin said. The two are not that excited. Well, they are already wearing their beach polo shirts and summer dresses. "Because I’m not feeling well," she answered them while making coffee in their office pantry. "Not feeling well?" "Let's pretend we believe you." Pipay even rolled her eyes. It was apparent they did not believe her alibi. "You’re a pain in the neck! Didn't you read Sir Patrick's memo? And will you still not go to the team building?” "Who will not go?" They were all surprised when their boss suddenly appeared. "Sir, it was Infinity," Robin reported. Robin should give thanks to the al
