Prologue

February 2023Nanghihinang napatingin si Primrose sa cellphone ng nobyo niya.It was not intentional for her to see that. It was not her intention to see that message. She was not looking for anything, it just popped up. That one message just popped up and it shattered her world.“God, please… wake me up if this is a dream…” she closed her eyes and opened them again, pero nandoon pa rin ang message.She unlocked Ian’s phone and deleted the message and blocked the number. She dwelled on whether what and what not to do and so, she decided to make him think that she does not know anything at all.“Hi there, babe…” bati ng boyfriend nito sa kaniya nang makapasok siya ng condo niya. He just went outside to get some food dahil late na silang nagising at hindi na sila makakapagluto.“Hi.”Just how long can you possibly love a person even after they hurt you?May matitira pa kayang pagmamahal, kahit na nasaktan na o tanging poot nalang ang mararamdaman?Sa buong buhay niya, hindi niya inakala

Unforeseen Connections

CHAPTER 1July 2022“Why aren’t you picking up your phone?” the man beside her na kagigising lang, asked nang makita nitong patay-sindi ang screen nito dahil sa tawag.“Hayaan mo lang, huwag mo pansinin. That’s work and it’s my day off. Hindi ko kailangang sagutin.” iritadang sabi ni Primrose at tumayo mula sa kama.Of course, it’s not work. It’s some other guy na naka-fling niya few weeks ago, bugging her and asking her for a date kahit na nilinaw niya naman na hindi siya nakikipag-date.Last night was wild for her, since it was her friend’s birthday na ginawa sa isang exclusive bar. Kaya siguro nagising nalang siya katabi ang isang anak ng mayor ng city nila na nakayakap sa kaniya.“Are you leaving already?” tanong ng lalaki nang makita niyang isa-isang isinusuot ni Prim ang mga damit niya na nakita niyang nakatupi sa couch.“Did you fold my clothes?” the guy nodded. Primrose smiled and gave him a peck on the lips.“You know, that’s thoughtful and sweet.” saad nito habang sinusuot a

Ensnared in Chaos

CHAPTER 2Primrose accepted Ian’s follow request.Personal account niya ‘yon kaya naman iilan lang ang mga naka-follow sa kaniya.Mostly, mga closest friends lang. Hindi nga kasama sa personal account niya ‘yung manager niya, kasi minsan, may mga lalaki siyang kasama na nilalagay niya sa ig story niya at iniiwasan niyang mapagalitan sa management.Akala niya ay magc-chat si Ian, pero para siyang tangang naghihintay dahil walang message ang dumating.“Ginagago ba ako ng lalaking ‘to?” tanong niya sa sarili niya habang naka-kunot noong nakatingin sa mga ig posts ng lalaki.Bakas sa mga post niya kung gaano kayaman ang pamilya niya. Prim is kind of judgmental sa ganitong bagay lalo na kung alam niyang magastos ang tao, na hindi naman nila sariling pera ang mga winawaldas nila.It irritates her.Isa na rin siguro ‘yon sa mga rason kung bakit hinding hindi niya kayang masikmurang makipag-date. Kasi lahat nalang ng mga lalaking nagkakagusto sa kaniya, mga mayayabang na wala namang ipagmamay

Starting to Feel

CHAPTER 3Nakasimangot si Prim habang nakatingin sa bintana ng kotse.“Just accept these gifts, Primrose.”“No.”“Yes.”“It’s an apology gift.”“You’re fixing it naman na kaya no need na.” natahimik si Ian.“Wala ka na bang ibang kailangan? Need pirmahan? If wala na, then aalis na ‘ko. Thanks.” Akmang lalabas na si Prim sa sasakyan nang inunahan ito ni Ian para tumakbo sa kabilang side ng sasakyan at pagbuksan si Prim ng pinto.Primrose is trying to be nonchalant as much as she can, dahil ayaw niyang aminin sa sarili niya na sa edad niyang ganito, ngayon lang siya kinilig sa isang lalaki.“Are you going somewhere? Pwede kita sundan, just for me to know na safe ka makararating sa---”“Wait. Why would you do that?” hindi makasagot si Ian.“Nothing. I just---”“No. I can manage. Bye.” She coldly said at sumakay na sa sasakyan niya atsaka impit na tumili at pinagtatampa ang manubela.Walang ideya si Ian kung gaano ka-grabeng pagpapanggap na hindi apektado si Prim sa presensya nito. Natigi

Realization Hits

Chapter 5 Napatingin si Primrose sa restaurant kung nasaan sila.The ambiance is bathed in warmth, soft lighting casting a gentle glow on the rich mahogany furnishings and plush velvet upholstery. The walls are adorned with sepia-toned photographs of jazz legends, their music immortalized in this sanctuary of sophistication. "Do you like it?" Primrose nodded. "My Dad designed this." Miguel proudly told Prim. Primrose approached every decision with meticulous consideration, especially when it came to moments like meeting Miguel. Despite their deep friendship, she grappled with the knowledge that Miguel harbored strong feelings for her, complicating matters as she was already committed to Ian. Feeling isolated in her situation, she found herself without anyone to confide in, particularly given the weighty expectations her friends held for her relationship with Ian. Seated together at a restaurant in Taguig, Prim and Miguel shared a meal, yet Miguel's gaze remained fixed solely on

Veiled Truths and Yearning Hearts

Chapter 6"Food, candles... ano pa ba ang kulang..." pabulong na sabi ni Ian habang mag-isang nagp-plano sa kusina at iniisa-isa ang mga kailangan niyang gawin.Ian planned an intimate condo dinner para i-celebrate ang kanilang 8th month of togetherness, kahit na sa loob ng walong buwan na 'yon, bilang lamang ang kanilang pagkikita.Wala pa si Prim. Na-late siya ng uwi, dahil nag-overtime sila sa shoot nila para sa isang commercial niya. Ni-hindi niya alam na nasa condo niya na si Ian."Can you make the bouquet more special?

Half Truth

Chapter 7Hindi makasagot si Ian. He is trying to find the right words to say. He cannot just tell Prim lahat lahat ng tungkol sa buhay niya. Para siyang naglalakad sa isang hibla ng alambre na nakasabit sa magkabilang bangin.Yes, mahal na mahal niya ito, pero hindi lang 'yon ganoon kadali."Tell me... Are you hiding something from me?" Primrose asked. Hindi biro ang tapang na inipon ni Primrose para itanong kay Ian ang tanong na 'yon. She has been sleep deprived, hindi makakain sa tamang oras, just because naiisip niya There's an interplay between the desire for clarity and the fear of what that clarity might reveal. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, torn between the thrill of leaping into the unknown and the fear of what lies below."Babe..." hindi magawang masimulan ni Ian ang sasabihin niya."You're not, right? I mean, you're with me right now..." Prim said while trying to focus on cutting the meat on her plate."No, no, babe... there's nothing for you to worry about..
