All Chapters of DEL FIERRO : Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

[Short update only. Enjoy reading ♡] Nanatili lang itong nakatitig sa ‘kin kaya hindi ko napigilang mag salita muli. “What are w-we?” Hindi ko alam bakit iyon ang unang pumasok sa isip ko na itanong. We're on one roof. So, I think I need to know at least what I am in his life. Funny. Funny how stupid this feeling could lead me. Even after hearing everything that night, that I was only here because I might be carrying his child is insane. I don't need to ask, honestly. But I feel the need. Maybe I wanna hear something different today. ‘Yung sagot na iba sa narinig ko kagabi. Sagot na makakapag-alis ng bigat sa dibdib ko. “I like you…” Umiling-iling ito at bahagyang ngumiti. “No, actually, it's way deeper,” dagdag nito. And now that I heard it, half of me didn't believe it. Tinignan ko siya sa mata, hinahanap ang sagot doon kung sinsero ito sa sinabi niya, pero hindi ko iyon nakita. May ngisi sa labi niya na para bang isang biro iyon. Ano pa nga ba ang in-e-expect

[i did my best researching and writing this chapter with care. if i've gotten anything wrong, i'd truly appreciate it if you could kindly correct me. ♡]After that interaction with Dr. Arcalde, I found myself restless. The weight of our conversation lingered in my mind, pressing heavily on my chest. That night, instead of sleeping, I asked Matheo for a laptop that I could use to research his condition. Ang dami kong nabasang mga articles, pati yung mga kwento ng ibang taong may parehong sitwasyon. The more I read, the more I realized how little I knew. The symptoms, the triggers, the unpredictable shifts…it wasn’t just an illness. It was a battle. A war waged inside his mind that no one else could see, because he chose to keep it with himself. And yet, he carried it with such composure, as if he had mastered the art of hiding the chaos within.As I read more, I came across a line that struck me: “Most people with DID rarely show noticeable signs of the condition. Friends and family

[short update muna hehe. ♡] Nang lumabas siya ng kwarto, doon lamang ako nakahinga ng maluwag. Napahiga ako saglit, pinipilit pakalmahin ang sarili, pero hindi mawala-wala sa isip ko ang mga sinabi niya. Buong hapon, pilit akong umiwas. Kapag naririnig kong papalapit ang mga yabag niya, agad akong napapalingon sa ibang direksyon. Kapag napapatingin naman siya, mabilis kong iniiwas ang mga mata ko, kunwari abala sa kung anong hawak ko. Hindi ko alam kung nahahalata niya, pero ramdam kong para akong laging nagtatago. Tuwing may sasabihin siya sa 'kin ay ilag ako. Hindi nagtatagal para makipag k’wentuhan pa. Magtatanong siya, sasagot naman ako at aalis din agad. Gano’n ang nangyari sa magdamag. Kay Manang at Matheo lamang ako nakikipag-usap ng matagal dahil sa pagkailang ko. Dapat siguro ay hindi ko na lang siya tinanong tungkol don. “Hija…” Agad kong nilingon ang pinto. Nakasilip si Manang. Saka lang siya tuluyang pumasok pagkalingon ko. “Gusto mo bang sumabay sa ‘min ni Mat

[dear Readers,thank you so much for adding my story to your library.

Agad kong nabawi ang kamay ko at masuri siyang tinignan. Akala ko si Matthew siya. The way he held my hand with gentleness was really him. But the ‘Tss’? It was from Syvastian. Sino ba talaga sa dalawa? Nakakalito. “I think you're pregnant.” siguradong sabi nito. Nagawa niya pang tumango-tango na para bang kumbunsidong-kumbinsido siya sa sinabi niya. “How sure are you?” tanong ko. Halos matawa pa ako. “Because I am the father…” He looked me in the eye. “Malakas ang pakiramdam kong buntis ka the moment manang told me about your vomiting earlier, she thinks you are too. Also…I did my research already.” I rolled my eyes. “I am not.” matigas na sa
