I couldn't hide my happiness. Even though my day didn't start well because of what my classmates and I talked about—how they are really avoiding me and don't want to be friends with me ay hindi ko naman inaasahan na sa kabila ng mga nangyari ay biglaan rin ako na magkakaroon ng kaibigan.Estrella Lee.Mom, I have a friend now.Esther is really giving me the vibe that she doesn't care about what other people say. At kahit new student siya ay pumapatol agad siya sa mga schoolmate namin. Katulad ng nangyari kanina, rinig na rinig namin na dalawa na kami ang pinag-uusapan ng mga nasa cafeteria, palabas na kami non nang magulat ako dahil sinita niya talaga."What's your problem with us? Eh, ano kung kaibigan ako ni Pristine?""You don't know her, or maybe you know tapos you are just after her wealth."At that moment, I was about to speak up to defend Esther because she was being insulted, but she stopped me. Even Kio was ready to speak, but Esther was the one who confronted the woman while

Kaaalis lang ni Elijah ngayong umaga. Wala pa ngang isang araw na wala siya. And he said earlier that after three days he will come back. Kasi mukhang hindi rin basta-basta ang ipinunta niya sa Karmona. Naunawaan ko na 'yon, eh.Pero ngayon naman ang sinabi niya na dalawang linggo na mawawala siya na naging tatlong araw na lang at ngayon ay ito at pauwi na! Hindi ko ba alam kung ikatutuwa ko na uuwi na nga siya dahil para bang abala 'yon sa mga maiiwan niya sa trabaho. Also, the friend he mentioned surely knows he will be back to his duty right now.Eli is not the type who would lie because he is a righteous man. And when he says something, you can trust that it's the truth. Those who know him understand that he stands by his word at sa halos isang taon na kasama ko siya bilang bodyguard ko ay 'yon ang isa sa mga napatunayan ko talaga.Ang kaibigan na binanggit niya naman rin ay mukhang mahalaga sa kaniya. The way he said his name though. Kung kliyente rin kasi ay tiyak na hindi niya

Habang nakatingin ako kay Elijah na iniikot ang tingin sa buong silid ko ay naalala ko ang sinabi ni Kio kanina. Kung sinabi daw ba sa akin ni Eli na ang papa mismo ang may nais na hindi ako malapitan ng mga lalake. I know my father is just being protective of me, pero alam ko rin na hindi naman siya ganoon kaingat to the point na bawal akong malapitan ng ibang lalake unless if may bago na naman banta sa buhay ko at lahat ay pinagdududahan niya.Should I talk to papa? Pero sa pagbalik na niya.But looking back, I don't remember Eli ever saying that it was papa's order. I just assumed because he's taking orders from my father. Pero kung pakikipagkaibigan lang naman ay siguro hindi bawal. Should I open this to him? Mukha namang kalmado na siya ngayon at hindi tulad kanina na parang pag may narinig siya na hindi niya nagustuhan ay magsusungit na naman siya."Have you finished with your dinner?" tanong niya pagkabalik ng pansin sa akin. Ilang segundo rin niya na tinitigan ang buong silid

I don't know why, but even though I had a little argument with Elijah, it doesn't bother me at all. I found his reactions earlier amusing, natuwa talaga ako! And if he hadn't said that I'm just a 'little sister,' I would think he's madly jealous of Sebastian, which is why he doesn't want me talking to him.Kasi bakit naman ayaw niya? His reason--or papa's reason for not letting me have a male friend is too shallow for me. Napag-isip ko na mababaw 'yon at kung si Sebastian, papa will not decline because he knew the Ynares clan."Pristine, your lolo is here already. Are you going to have your dinner? Pumunta muna tayo sa opisina niya at ipakita ang mga damit."Nakuha ang atensyon ko ng Ate Lena nang tawagin niya ako. She looked nervous. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko dahil hindi naman siya usually ganito, oo may kaba siya pero parang mas kabado siya ngayon."Did something happen, ate?" nag-aalala ko na tanong.Magkasalikop ang mga kamay niya. I looked at Kio at the back, he was standing n

I know Elijah isn't afraid of lolo, but that doesn't mean he should be talking back right now! Lolo Yago is still mad, and the reaction I see in him makes me think of the cruel things he might do to Eli for speaking up. Kita ko rin ang gulat, ang galit sa mukha pagkatapos habang nakatingin ito sa amin."How dare you speak to me like that?" bawat salita ay may diiin nang marinig ko 'yon sa lolo. I bit my lower lip and felt so much fear when I heard his footsteps coming to us.Ang bilis ng ginawa kong paghawak sa kamay ni Elijah kahit na alam ko na hindi siya padadaig ngayon sa galit. He's not looking at me, diretso rin ang tingin niya sa lolo habang nanlilisik ang mga mata."You're nothing but a damn bodyguard—how dare you question me about my granddaughter!"Dumagundong ang malakas na boses ng Lolo Yago sa buong silid na ikinanginig ko pang lalo sa takot. I pushed Elijah hard but he was standing firm like he was ready of anything that might happen to him.Nang masiguro ko na hindi tal
