Chapter 11: Birthday
I'm already at the house, parking my car, feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Stepping out of the car, I took a moment to gather my thoughts. With a deep breath, I headed towards the house, hearing laughter ringing out. It was a sound that was both familiar and jarring, considering I knew it was only Zari and me in the house."Zari?" I called out, stepping into the foyer. The laughter stopped, replaced by a curious silence. I felt a chill run down my spine, but I pushed away the unease. We were here for a reason, and I couldn't let anything distract me from that."Zari, it's me," I said, moving further into the house. Despite the unsettling laughter, I was determined to face whatever lay ahead. Kinatok ko nang kinatok ang pinto, ng biglang bumukas ito dahilan kung ba't muntik akong madapa sa sahig. “Bakit ngayon ka lang umuwi?" Bungad sa akin ni Zari habang nilakihan ng bukas ang pinto. I didn't answer her, but instead I continued my search where those laughter came from

Chapter 12: Painful Past
Umalis na ang lahat ng mga bisita namin ni Zari, and I feel so blessed. The house was quiet now, the echoes of laughter and chatter still lingering in the air. As I stood outside the house, taking in the moment, I couldn't help but feel incredibly blessed. Blessed to have friends and family who cared, blessed to have Zari by my side, and blessed to be able to celebrate life's special moments surrounded by love.Dahan dahan akong bumalik sa loob ng bahay and there I saw Zari standing near the kitchen with her usual expression. I looked around, and I turned to Zari, her face glowing with happiness. She nodded, her eyes reflecting the same sentiment. "You planned this?" I asked Zari, my eyes wide with surprise.She gave me a mischievous grin, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Maybe," she replied, her voice full of laughter.I shook my head, unable to suppress my own smile. It was just like her to go out of her way to bring a little joy into my life."Thank you, Zari," sabi ko sabay yak

Chapter 13: Confused
I unrolled my yoga mat and ready to begin my morning routine, the quiet of the early morning providing the perfect backdrop.It's already 6:30 am, I still have 1 hour left to do my usual things. Maaga talaga akong gumising dahil plano kong mag yoga muna bago simulan ang mga paperworks na kailangan kong ipasa ngayon. Since, may area naman for any kind of exercise or yoga sa workplace ko, then, less hassle na for me.The place was perfect for finding inner peace and tranquility. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the soft morning light filtering through the windows, created an environment that was conducive for meditation and reflection. Maganda din ang pagka-disenyo ng building na ito. Hindi mo talaga maikakaila na puro arkitekto ang halos miyembro ng pamilyang may-ari ng kompanyang ito.The architecture was a perfect blend of modern and traditional elements, creating a visually appealing structure that was also functional. The use of large windows allowed for plenty of natural ligh

Chapter 14: Punishment
The office was buzzing with the sounds of papers, typing on computers and loud conversations. They are all looking busy, as if the company won't pay them if they don't do heavy work. Ang ilan panay ang tingin sa mga papers na nakahilera sa kanilang mesa. I called Jeanne after kong mailagay lahat ng mga gamit ko sa aking cubicle. She was wearing a simple shirt and jeans while sobrang salungat naman sa suot ko.“Jeanne, bakit sobrang busy ng mga tao dito sa office?" Tanong ko habang tinitingnan ang mga kasamahan kong abala sa kani-kanilang mga ginagawa."Ah, malapit na kasi ang deadline ng mga projects natin. Kaya lahat sila, kasama na rin tayo, kailangang mag-double time para matapos ang lahat ng trabaho," sagot ni Jeanne, na hindi man lang ako ginawaran ng tingin.Bumalik ako sa aking cubicle at nagsimulang mag halungkat sa mga kailangan kong tapusin. Pero may napansin ako, since then everytime papasok ako sa opisina kahit busy sila, magawa pa nila akong batiin. Ngayon, bakit feeling

Chapter 15: Locked by His Arms
Bigla akong naalimpungatan sa kaluskos galing sa loob ng aming opisina. I quickly searched where those noises came from, when I saw Liam wearing his usual poker face, while…holding a food?I blinked in surprise, my sleep-addled brain trying to make sense of the situation. "Sir Liam?" I asked, my voice filled with confusion. "Haven't you gone home yet?"Liam turned to look at me, a sheepish smile on his face. "I... I lost track of time," he said, his gaze shifting to the food in his hands. "I thought you might be hungry, so I brought some food.”Hinanap ko ang aking phone and shit, it's 9:00 pm already. "I'm sorry if nagising kita.” Sabi ni Liam sa mahinang tinig. I don't have enough time sa mga kadramahan niya, and why is he acting like that? Nakakapagtaka."Tapos ko ng lahat gawin ‘to,” sabi ko habang tinitingnan ang mga pagkain na hawak niya, grabe nakakagutom. Ang bango!He did not respond to what I've said but rather he arranged the food and put a spoon and fork to some plates.

Chapter 16: Application
I felt like I hadn't slept at all last night. My body felt heavy, my mind foggy. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the fatigue. But it clung to me, a persistent shadow that refused to let go.After Liam dropped me off last night, nakita ko si Zari na mag isa with a drink in her hand. The soft glow from the lights inside the house cast a warm glow on her, making her seem almost ethereal.We chit chatted a bit, since hindi na kami laging magkausap due to our different hectic sched. So ayun, medyo tipsy ako ngayon sa trabaho."I can't believe everything that happened," sabi niya at paulit ulit pa akong tinanong dahil baka raw nagsisinungaling lang ako at nag ilusyon. Ang bruha ginawa pa akong sinungaling. "Sis, it all seems so surreal." I just nodded to her and took a one shot.She shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips. "Well, sis," she said, her voice filled with something. "You certainly know how to keep life interesting.”Napasubo ako ng chicharon sa sinabi niya, “ika
