"Fuck!"Napabaling ako sa pintuan nang marinig ang sigaw niya. Kasunod nito ang tunog na parang may nabasag na gamit sa baba.Dahan-dahan akong tumayo. With my silk night dress and cottony slippers, I walked through the corridors leading the staircase.Ang dilim ng paligid at walang tao sa paligid. Why is he awake at this time? Lahat ng tao natutulog na and why is he breaking things. Saktong pagkababa ko, nakita ko siya.With his usual suit slightly disheveled and his hands bleeding. May nakita akong mga bubug na nagkalat sa paligid.Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa kaniya. His eyes stared at me, emotionless. Napatalon ako nang marinig ulit ang ingay ng
"You may kiss the bride." The priest said with happiness.My heart pounded harshly as the tears suddenly fell upon my cheeks. He flipped the veil to the back as he stared at me harshly. I swallowed a lump in my throat, trying not to cry loudly. Kahit anong pigil ko sa mga luha ko ay patuloy pa rin ang pag agos. Hinawi n'ya ang tangkas ng buhok sa likod ng tainga ko."Why did you agree to this when you're just crying pathetic in front of everybody?" He harshly asked. Siniil n'ya ako ng mapusok na halik, hindi n'ya hinintay ang tugon ko. Naestatwa ako at nanginginig ang mga kamay na marahan s'yang tinulak. And I'm glad he stopped.Anger inside me built up when he said that. I didn't have a choice but to marry him. And now that our marriage is already sealed, I felt like I'
"What the hell are you doing here?"Nakahawak ako sa comforter ko. Na para bang takot ako na makita siya. Ngayon pa talaga siya pumunta rito na nakahubad ako!Agad akong nagtago sa ilalim ng comforter. I felt my cheeks burned. Nakita niya kaya iyon? Punyeta!"Cevier? Let's continue!" someone said with a irritatingly seductive voice.Lumaki ang mga mata ko nang napagtanto kung kaninong boses iyon. Pamilyar ang boses na iyon. 'Yong model kanina!"Hm. Let's not do it here,"Narinig kong sabi ng lalaki."Huh? Why not? Cevier,
Growing up with parents who have high expectations for you is difficult. They expect you to act like a mature human. Even when I'm still sixteen years old, I was already trained on how to manage our companies. Although I love doing it, pero iba talaga kapag naka-explore ka habang bata pa.For them, there's no room for any mistakes. Na kahit simpleng pagkakamali ay hindi nila pinapalampas. They will scold you until you learn your lesson."Masarap ba?" tanong sa'kin ni Kairus.Kairus is my boyfriend. We were already in a one year relationship. At hindi ko pa nasabi sa mga magulang ko. It's one of the decision that I have been contemplating before saying yes to Kairus. Kasi alam kong magagalit sila. Pero si Kairus lang 'yong tanging sandalan ko sa tuwing lumalala ang proble
"Smile, Darya." My mother whispered to me as we entered the enormous castle.I smiled as some people greeted us. Nakita kong lumapit si Tito Hanzel sa amin. Nagkamay sila ni Papa."Samantha!" May kumaway na isang babae sa kaniya. Napalingon si Mama roon. She smiled at her, waving her hands."I need to go, Teodore. Alayssa is waiting over her table."Tumango si Papa at hinalikan ang kaniyang pisngi. May binulong siya kay Mama bago ibinalik ang kaniyang mga mata kay Tito."Darya, behave." My mother said warningly.Tumango ako.Lumapit sa'kin si Ti
The people's eyes are on me. Disgusted at my being. Some of them mockingly smiled at me. While others stared at me with confused expression and a hint of worry in their faces."Darya! What the heck happened to you?!" mariin na bulong ni Mommy."I'm sorry, hijo. You have to see my daughter dirty and disheveled appearance."Ngumiti si Cevier. "No worries, tita. Even in her appearance right now, she still looks beautiful and lovely."My mother laughed at that. "Hay nako, hijo. Bolero ka talaga."Muntik nang umikot ang mga mata ko. Lumapit si Tita Cecile, Cevier's mother. She worriedly looked at me. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko saka ginaya sa tabi niya.
"Don't you want to cuddle with me?" Cevier said when I stood up.I mockingly sneered at him. "No, I'm good. I don't need some cuddling, Cevier. Hindi naman natin tinuloy iyon."He pursed his lips while looking at me darkly. Sandali kaming nagkatinginan. The way his dark eyes bore into me, speaks a thousand words. But I'm quite uncertain of it. Hindi ko alam kung paano basahin iyon. Wala rin akong kailangan sa kaniya. All I want right now is to get out of here.God, forgive me for what I did. I'm partially regretting entering this walk-in closet of his parents. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. I immediately grab the unused underwear of his mother. Sa may cabinet kung saan nakalagay ang mga hindi pa nagamit. Hindi naman siguro si'ya magagalit sa'kin 'di ba? Just one underwear would
"Anje! That's not it!" "What are you talking about? Alam ko ang ginagawa ko!"I stared at both of them. Scrunching my nose at the sight in front of me.They're trying to make some butter cookies in my condo unit. The kitchen's a bit messy. Mas lalo pa akong ngumiwi nang tinapon ni Evan ang itlog kay Anje.Gumanti naman si Anje. She threw the flour onto him. Nakasandal lang ako sa dingding. Ngumiti ako. Their inner child is playing right now."Ang kalat niyo naman mga anak." I said."Mommy, can help us bake some cake?"What the heck?Hilas! Sinabi niya iyon sa paraang OA na. Acting like a child. The shivers in my spine as I heard his voice. Disgusting!"'Di ba cookies 'yong ibi-bake natin?""Ay, Oo nga pala!""We have to finish this by twelve. Mga 1 AM kailangan na natin makapunta sa campus.""Why?" Anje asked.
