Price of freedom.To be free from chains, regrets, and unanswered questions. Freedom equates to a bird that can freely spread its wings in an open sky, wide awake without missing the beauty of journey while reaching for its own destination.Too sweet to imagine, too bitter to dream of.It's such a bittersweet reality of freedom. You will only get a taste of it when you lost something. One that unlocks the cages. A reminder that when freedom unleashes, there will always be someone powerful behind it who controls liberty like a game.If it was in the market, I believe that I have already paid its price in full. In exchange for reclaiming my wings, I had to lose my soul. On a cruel note, it was debt that comes along with freedom. You will never know when or how it will collect your payment, but it will."Pupunta ako, mom." I sighed. "Bukas pa naman po 'yan, right?""Yes, Tanya. Ikaw na lang ang inaasahan namin ng dad mo. I'm actually proud that you managed the company well. Napakalayo na

The wild cheering of students filled the four corners of the gymnasium. Gumagala ang mga mata ko palipat-lipat sa bolang lumilipad sa gitna nang malawak na espasyo sa baba habang pigil ko ang sariling hininga.Mas kinakabahan pa siguro ako kaysa sa mga naglalaro sa gitna ng court dahil ngayon ang araw ng laban ng Aurea University at Astra University sa Volleyball para makapasok sa Regional Competition."Omg! Ang galing ng men's volleyball natin. Malapit nang manalo ang Aurea, sana hindi na makahabol ang Astra." Sambit ni Savie sa paiba-ibang tono. Mayroong pagtili, kaba, at inis."Sobrang bias mo sa part na 'yan." I frowned. Kaagad siyang lumingon sa'kin, namamangha sa narinig. "Pero sana tayo ang manalo.""Pinaganda mo lang naman ang sinabi ko." Malakas itong humalakhak bago bumalik ang tingin sa unahan. "Manonood tayo bukas ng women's volleyball, ha?"Bago ko pa 'man siya masagot, naibaling ko na rin sa harapan ang mga mata ko. Nagsitayuan ang mga estudyanteng nanonood habang naghih

As the Aurea Night is nearing, the tasks I have to fit in my plate have doubled. I called for a meeting with the university officers and distributed all tasks to each one. Inaasahan ng mga students ang event na 'to kaya mas lalo naming gusto na maging maganda ang kalalabasan ng bawat plano."Yzah, kindly inform the department officers that we will be having a meeting with them tomorrow. If hindi lahat available, inform them to send at least two representatives for each organization." Sambit ko sa representative.Nanatili ang mga mata ko sa laptop habang binabasa ang mga proposals na ipinasa ng secretary sa events affair."Desiree, any progress with the proposals?" Paghingi ko rito ng update nang makitang wala pang check iyon sa file namin."Nakausap ko na ang SDAO, they are still reviewing our proposals. Within this day din daw ang approval or revision request." She responded.Imbis na matuwa ako, nakaramdam ako ng bahagyang pagkainis. Refraining myself from bursting out, I rested my

Luck.A common word that all people get to understand, but not everyone receives. Maybe it comes in an amount that is measured not in ways you carry it, but on how you notice them.I guess, it was just a lucky day for me. Other people might see it on a surface level, but I don't. It was already a luck for me because that's how I want to see it."Sir!" I raised my hand to get his attention. Tumaas ang kilay nito nang bumaling sa direksyon ko."Are we required to follow a specific format?" Nakangiting pagtatanong ko rito. "Para po sa hard copy na isusubmit namin."Lumingon din sakaniya ang groupmates ko habang naka-form ng circle.Hindi mawala-wala sa isip ko ang nangyari. He gave me his food. Rice meal 'yon na ang ulam ay kare-kare. It was the first time I felt comfortable eating someone else's food. Hindi niya naman 'yon binili para talaga sa'kin, nagbago lang ang isip niya pero ayaw niyang masayang kaya ipinamigay niya na lang.But I still think I was lucky. Sa'kin niya piniling ibig

"No one else after me, Tanya." He warned on my neck. "Kaya mo ba 'yon?"Can I really do that? If I don't have the certainties that this would be mine too. He could possess me, but can I do that to him?No. I can only be his, but he would never be mine. If there is one thing constant in life, that would be the reality of unfair angles. While he stands on the white side, I can only stand on the gray. The middle of two sides.But I just know that I want him. I want to be his."No one after you." I whispered, voice cracking.Sandali itong napamura sa narinig at dahil sa ginawa kong pag-atras. Tuluyan na siyang nakapasok sa'kin. Mabilis na dumapo ang kamay ko sa bibig ko para pigilan ang sarili na mapamura. Hindi ko inasahang ganito iyon kahapdi.I felt like something inside me just cracked. Alam kong malaki at mahaba siya, pero hindi ko inasahang gano'n iyon kasakit. Tumulo ang mga luha ko dahil sa pagkabigla na kaagad niyang napansin. His jaw literally dropped, I saw it clearly from his
