"When someone sees us, I will really punch you, Bert. You see," said Vangie.She slowly descended into the lake. Vangie immediately felt a chill when her skin touched the water. The sun was still shining brightly, but the water was cold.The sun is still up but the water is cold. "That's not it," Bert assured."That's not it," Bert assured.He took his girlfriend's hand and guided her down the stairs.He took his girlfriend's hand and helped her up. He stepped on some stones while going down.He was stepping on some rocks while going down.Until he completely submerged and floated in the water. Vangie immediately grabbed onto her boyfriend when she couldn't feel her legs.

Vangie thought Bert had a happy family. Based on what Bert had told her, his parents respected his choices. But even though his parents were kind and cheerful while talking to her, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.This wasn’t the first time she had met the family of someone she was dating. But it still felt the same—awkward and nerve-wracking. What made this different was that she wasn’t a single woman anymore.Boyong cleared his throat. “So, Vangie, how did you and Bert fall in love?” he asked.Vangie froze mid-bite and smiled nervously at Boyong. She glanced at Bert, who was calmly eating like nothing was happening. Meanwhile, her heart was racing.“Um…”“Oh, co

Vangie couldn’t stop crying after Marta left her house. She shut the door and locked herself in her room. She didn’t even care whether her small store was open. She ignored the voices calling out from outside and didn’t bother to respond.Her cheek was swollen, but what hurt more were the painful words her former mother-in-law had said. She had always known the woman looked down on her, but it still hurt. It felt like something was breaking inside her chest—far more painful than the swelling on her face.She had done everything back then. When Fredo found a job in Manila and started earning, she didn’t complain when he decided to give money to his parents. Every 15th and 30th of the month, she handed his mother two thousand pesos. And yet, Fredo only sent her five thousand in total. They didn’t even have their own house; they lived with his parents. On top of that, she had to help with expenses and even did laundry for neighbors to make ends meet.After their separation, she decided n

“Are you ready?” Bert asked Vangie.Vangie nodded and lightly brushed the hem of her dress. They were heading to Bert’s house. It was his mother Lucia’s birthday. Vangie didn’t really want to go because she was shy, but Bert said his mom specifically requested her presence. She couldn’t say no, so she agreed.Early that morning, they went to town to help with the party preparations. Vangie helped decorate the yard. They hired a catering service, so they didn’t need to worry about cooking.Vangie and Bert went back to the farm to change clothes. Bert had bought Vangie a dress that fit her perfectly. It was yellow, plain, and knee-length, but it looked beautiful on her. Bert wore black slacks and a polo shirt with the top button undone.“I really feel shy, Bert. Do I really have to go?” Vangie asked as they walked out of the house.Bert smiled and put his arm around her. “Why would you feel shy?”Vangie sighed. Bert’s parents accepted her, but she didn’t know the rest of his family. Sti

Vangie's heart broke as she listened to what Shane said. The emotions overwhelmed her. She quickly left Bert's house. Carrying her bag, she walked toward the street to look for a tricycle. She didn’t care that her face was soaked with tears. All she wanted was to get away from that place.So many questions ran through her mind. How could Shane be pregnant? Why was Bert the father? Didn’t Bert say he and Shane had broken up long ago? Did that mean Bert had been lying to her? Vangie cried harder. She could barely see the road the tricycle was taking.Damn it, Vangie! Why are you even crying? she scolded herself mentally. She tried to calm down. But Shane’s words kept repeating in her head like a broken record:“Yes, Mom. I’m pregnant. And Bert is the father.”Vangie cried again. “Damn it!” she said angrily.Before she knew it, she had arrived home. She quickly went inside and locked the door. She went straight to her room and collapsed on the bed, sobbing like a child.When she met Bert
