The Rise Novels & Stories

Lumapit naman sa akin si Sky saka ako hinalikan sa pisngi at inabutan ng bouquet of red roses. "Happy 9th anniversity, babe." Bati niya. I smiled. "Thanks. Happy 9th anniversity too, babe." Sabi ko naman.

I am choosing to end whatever connection I have with him at this moment and to start a new life, hopefully with Evan this time. I have fallen, I have risen, and I have conquered.

I need to make sure that I packed everything without a miss. Tumango siya sa akin. Ginawa ko iyong hudyat para lumabas na ng elevator. Dire-diretso lang ang lakad ko na para bang hindi kami magkakilala. May mga naririnig akong bulungan dahil sa paglabas ko mula roon sa elevator, pero wala rin silang lakas ng loob na lakasan iyon kaya hindi ko na lang pinansin pa.
