Ang ganda pa rin kahit maingay ito. This is the only noise that knows how to calm a messy and chaotic mind. What a wonderful creation.”

Naging sunud-sunuran na siya sa bawat kilos nito. 'I'd climb every mountains And swim every ocean, Just to be with you... Nang magtama ang kanilang mga mata ay mariin siyang napalunok. Hoping so much that those bile in her throat will keep her heart from beating so loudly!

Workers move in synchronized chaos, their voices blending with the sound of heavy machinery and crashing waves. I remained stoic, standing from a distance, silently observing the steady flow of business. Despite the commotion, my gaze drifted to the sea.

Pinapabayaan ko lang because why not, normal lang namang magka-crush kahit bata palang tyaka makakalimutan din niya iyan paglaki niya. "Watkins ijo, hinahanap ka ng mga kalaro mo sa labas," tinig iyan ni yaya Lorna kaya mabilis pa sa alas-kwatrong bumaba ang anak ko sa hita ni Ressa upang puntahan ang kaniyang mga kalaro sa labas. "Your son is very handsome. Like, sobrang gwapo niya kahit bata palang. I wonder tuloy kung anong hitsura ng ama niya. For sure sobrang gwapo din"

Para saan naman iyon? "Dami mong dama," bulong ko sakanya at alam kong narinig niya iyon kasi malapit lang naman siya sa'kin. "May reklamo ka ba?" "Aba, syempre, wala! Ikaw naman Khalil hindi ka mabiro. Ano na yung rule na sinasabi mo?" Pilit akong ngumiti sakanya. "There's only one rule, Sol. You're not allowed to love me for real. Ang ipapakita mong pagmamahal sa'kin sa harap ng mother ko ay isang agreement lang."

Sagot naman ni Ram saka sunod sunod na tumango. “And that is the rule between us, Lexie and I mean you can’t-“ “Stop again right there.” Sabing muli ni Lexie. “I object to that rule.” Matapang niyang sabi. “And I reject your objection to that rule.” “Then I reject your objection to my rejection of your rule.” “I reje- teka nga, these rejections will not going stop right?” Kunot noong sabi ni Ram. “I can keep going.”

It rolled side to side, and up and down on the high waves. "Then lightning. Thunder. A strong rainstorm hit. The poor ship started to tip on the rough waves! It was so dark that the Little Mermaid could see nothing. Then lightning lit up the sky, and she could see the young prince on deck. He seemed to be the only one still there! He was working hard to keep the ship afloat. He was throwing ropes out to his men who had jumped. But then, all at once, the waves got very high and the ship started to tip over. The Prince was flung to the side of the ship and thrown overboard! Down into the sea he fell."

The loud tune of the high waves sounds inviting her go closer and so she did. Umupo siya roon habang pinanonood ang mga along walang kapagurang bumabalik at humahampas sa pampang. Why do waves can't just stop trying so hard to reach the shore? Kahit anong hirap nitong abutin ang pampang, paulit-ulit lamang din naman itong itinatapon ng hangin pabalik.

Hindi ko na makontrol ang paggalaw ng balikat ko. Alam ko namang ganito talaga ang mangyayari kapag nahuli kami. “La, Ma…” Hinawakan ni Jyrone ang kamay ko. Pinatatahimik niya ako. “We didn’t do anything wrong—” Dinuro siya ni Lola. “Walang ginawang masama? Malinaw namin kayong narinig—” Ikinuyom niya ang kamao niyang parang susuntukin si Jyrone. “Hindi pa kayo kasal! Malaking kasalanan—”

Kasi pag lalampa-lampa ka at napahamak ka, kahit hawak o nasa ilalim pa kita, I won't take the responsibility.” May inilabas siyang papel na parang kasulatan mula sa envelope na kanina niya pa dala-dala. “Your stupidity, your fault. Gagawin nyo mo lang ang iuutos ko and I will provide everything you need. Money? Position? Everything, Aziel. I won’t control you and dictate how you are going to get the revenge you want.”
