Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love Beyond the Horizon: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Everything went on smoothly. Our normal school days went on until it was only a few days away for our Paskuhan."Sinong date mo sa paskukan, Brix?" dinig kong tanong ni Zayd sa kaniya. Kakarating ko lang din dahil kumain kami ng lunch sa labas ni Sean."Si Nova nga, sino pa ba?""SI Nova? Eh, paano pala kapag may ibang date si Nova?" pagpapatuloy na tanong ni Zayd."Eh 'di wala? Ikamamatay ko ba kung wala akong ka-date?""Ano ba kasing pakialam mo?" iritadong tanong ni Lei dahil nakaupo siya sa gitna nila Brixton at Zayd. "Ganiyan ka ba ka-curious sa magiging date ni Brix kung hindi available si Nova?""Nagagalit ka na naman, eh. Tinatanong ko lang," malambing na sabi ni Zayd dito."Pakialamero ka kasi. Basta si Nova ang date ko, tapos ang usapan," pagtatapos ni Brix sa usapan nila."Wala ka bang date sa paskuhan?" baling ko kay Nova na tahimik lang habang nakikinig sa kanila.Bumaling siya kaagad sa akin. "Sino namang magiging date ko?"Nagkibit-balikat ako. "Baka bigla kang may ipak

"Your first semester grades are nothing compared to what I am expecting!"Napapikit ako sa lakas ng sigaw ni Mommy. During prelims, midterms, and semi-finals, nasanay na akong lagi niya akong pinapagalitan every time she saw my grades but this time it's different."I told you to do better! Is your relationship with Sean hindering you to do better?!""This has nothing to do with my relationship with him, Mom.""Then what is this? You call this a president's lister grade?! You're only point one ahead of your friend! Point one! Kung hindi ka sinuswerte, naagaw na sa 'yo ng kaibigan mo ang pwesto sa pagiging number one sa list!"Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi ko bago muling yumuko, pilit pinipigilan ang sarili sa pagsasalita upang ipaliwanag ang sarili ko. I did better this semester, I know that.It's just that... Nova also did better. And I don't see any problem with that. Nova also deserves to be on the first list. If I wasn't just one point ahead of her, I would surely be happy because sh

warning: R18. Read at your own risk."Now, let's delve into an essential aspect of cabin crew training—security. Ensuring the safety of passengers and the aircraft is paramount. We'll be simulating scenarios involving unruly passengers and potential threats."Miss Bethany proceeds to explain various security protocols and procedures to us."In the event of an unruly passenger, your primary goal is to de-escalate the situation and ensure the safety of everyone on board. You have the authority to restrain the individual using approved methods if necessary."She demonstrated how to use restraints and communicate with an unruly passenger while remaining calm and composed.In the next part of the simulation, we practiced identifying potential security threats, such as suspicious behavior or unattended items.The simulation ended with us having a better understanding of how to handle security-related scenarios."Dinner tayo, sasama ka ba?" baling sa akin ni Lei. Nasa restroom kami ngayon at

"Avril..."Pakiramdam ko ay tumayo ang mga balahibo ko nang biglang sumulpot si Nova sa harapan ko. Ayokong magpa-apekto sa sinabi ni Mommy sa akin pero hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili kong maglagay ng kaunting distansya sa kanila."Is everything okay?" tanong niya."Huh?""I might be wrong but I can feel that you're avoiding us. May nasabi na naman bang hindi maganda ang Mommy mo sa 'yo?""I'm not avoiding you---""Magsisinungaling ka ba sa akin?""Nova, believe me. It's not like that---""I was actually in your house earlier. Bibisitahin sana kita para iabot 'yong bigay ni Nanay pero aksidente kong narinig ang pagtatalo niyo ng Mommy mo," pag-kwento niya."It's just because of my---""Dahil sa puntos na lamang mo sa akin?" muling putol niya. "Pinapagalitan ka ba dahil doon? Kasi ayaw ng Mommy mo na maagaw ko sa 'yo 'yong pwesto sa pagiging una sa PL?""Hindi---""Kung pinapagalitan ka dahil doon, you can tell it to me. Hindi ko din naman alam na kaya kong abutin ang ganung grade. Wala

"How dare you say that to him?! You should've answered him politely! Why do you have to embarass me?!"Mom was fuming mad as she shout at me. Panay ang paglakad niya habang hinihilot ang kaniyang sintido."I just told him the right words, Mom. Totoo naman pong may boyfriend ako. And I don't want him to think that I'm interested.""You should've just said yes! Hindi naman ibig sabihin no'n ay pumayag ka na kaagad na nirereto ka niya sa bunsong anak niya!"Nag-angat ako ng tingin. "So, I'm right? Nirereto niya nga po talaga sa akin ang anak niya?""My God, Janniza! Where are your brains?!""Janine," suway ni Daddy sa kaniya. "Why are you putting the blame on your daughter? You're obviously disrespecting her relationship with Sean. She just did the right thing.""I am not disrespecting her relationship with Sean! I am just trying to introduce her to someone else!""Introduce her for what? Alam mong hindi mabilis maging komportable ang anak mo sa ibang tao," sagot ni Daddy sa kaniya."Tha
