MARY ELISE NICOLETTE'S POV
4 years agoPagod pa ang katawan ko sa mahabang biyahe, medyo nangawit pa ang leeg ko mula sa pagtulog kanina. My last days of vacation in Bulacan is horrible. After Topher's fight with Danreb, I really did ignore him. Super immature, though I expected it. Kaya nga ayaw kong malaman niya ang tungkol doon.Isa pa, that Tricia, I hate her so much. She is such a flirt. Her true colors appeared during our stay in Bulacan. She took advantage of Topher's and I quarrel. What a snake!Hindi ko na ininda ang pagod at mabilis na ibinaba ang maleta ko sa gate ng bahay na kinuha naman ni Kuya Ams. Kakausapin ko na si Mommy, matatanong ko na ang mga tanong na ilang araw na bumabagabag sa'kin.Pagpasok ng bahay ay sinalubong kami ng mga maids na agad kinuha ang mga gamit namin kasama si Mommy at Daddy.Daddy? More like irresponsible father."Elise/Anak," magkasabay na salubong nila sa'kin."Is it tKaugnay na kabanata

MARY ELISE NICOLETTE'S POV"Elise, wake up.""Hmmm..."I felt someone's hand poking my cheeks, it is so annoying. I opened my eyes, ready to scold whoever disturbing my peaceful sleep.Oh, I changed my mind."Finally, here's your water. Kukuhanin ko lang yung food natin sa baba. Maligo ka na rin, nakaready na yung damit mo." He reminded.Ibinaba niya lang ang baso ng tubig sa side bed table at lumabas na. I am surprised to see myself wearing a sweat shirt. This is probably Topher's.I was about to stand up when my head suddenly ache. Oh crap, I drank too much last night. I am so dumb talaga 'no? I know naman na I have low alcohol tolerance yet super lakas pa rin ng loob ko na uminom ng marami."Here we go again, Mary Elise. You are so lasinggera, weak ka naman." I spoke to myself when I managed to stand up.Now, my head is not the only one who's hurting. The pain slowly fades when I started walking. I took the glass of water and drink it. I tried to remember what happened last night w

I was so bothered by my thoughts kagabi. Mabuti na lang ay walang pasok si Papa ngayon. Maybe, I can ask him since wala rin naman akong ibang mapagtatanungan."Papa, do you think I should go back to Manila na?" I asked. He's currently washing our car. Ako naman ay nakaupo lang sa ilalim ng kama at pinapanood siya sa kaniyang ginagawa.Sandali siyang tumigil sa ginagawa at nilingon ako. "Alam mo anak, hindi naman mahalaga ang sasabihin ko. Kung ano ang gusto mo, ang gusto ng puso mo, gawin mo. Pero siyempre, pag-isipan mo rin." He answered at ipinagpatuloy na ang ginagawa."I want to know your opinion din naman po." Sabi ko at tumayo mula sa kinauupuan ko saka lumapit sa kaniya."Anak, itong sasabihin ko ay ang sa tingin ko lang ay makakabuti sa'yo. Kung ako ang tatanungin mo, gusto kong bumalik ka ng Maynila at makipag-ayos sa Mommy at Daddy mo. Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas, Anak. Patawarin mo na sila para matahimik na rin 'yang isip at puso mo. Alam ko kahit 'di mo sabihin, iniis

"Kuya!" tawag ko kay Kuya Colm na abala sa pakikipagkwentuhan sa mga kasama niya.Agad siyang tumayo nang makita kami ni Ate Grace. Si Mitch ay bored na bored na nakasandal sa pader habang nakamasid sa mga estudyanteng palakad lakad sa kabilang building.Humalik muna si Kuya sa noo ni Ate Grace bago ako niyakap."I can't believe that you will really go back here." Binigyan niya rin ako ng halik sa noo.Normal na sa amin 'yon. He is really treating me as his younger sister since he's an only child."Me too, where's Danreb?" tanong ko."Nasa faculty, nautusan e. Pabalik na rin naman na 'yon," sagot niya at inakbayan ako. "I'm so proud of you," wika niya at matamis akong nginitian."I am proud of myself too, Kuya.""By the way, may kasalanan ka sa akin." Napatayo ako ng tuwid dahil sa sinabi niyang 'yon. Seryosong-seryoso kasi ang boses niya."Huh?" maang-maangan ko."Come on, little Elise. We waited for you kila Tito," seryoso niyang sabi habang mariing nakatingin sa akin."Long story,

Axel Topher's POV"Hindi na ko bata, Elise, I'm 22 already, kaya ko na nga'ng gumawa ng bata," I told her pero siyempre I made sure that she won't hear yung last na sinabi ko.I know she's aware of what happened and tries not to talk about it and I respect her. I'm just worried about something. "Time flies so fast..." I heard her whispered."Yeah, so we shouldn't waste it."I watched her as she indulge on her deep thoughts. She was staring at the floor while sitting on the bed. I walk towards her and sat beside her. I can't read her expressions so I just waited for her to speak again. After some while, a tear fell from her eye that made me worried."Hey, are you okay?" "Yes, I am, I just realized how dumb and selfish I am with the decision I made 4 years ago, I've wasted so much time." I felt the sadness on her voice."Sshhh, you're trying to do better now. Pwede ka pa namang bumawi, sinimulan mo na nga oh. I'm proud of you, Elise," I consoled her. "Don't be too hard on yourself."

Axel Topher's POVI woke up early and prepared breakfast for Elise and me of course. The Guevarras must have just landed at this time.I took a bath first but wore the same pajamas na suot ko kagabi. Pinasok ko rin sa kwarto muna ang luggage ni Elise para makapagbihis siya agad mamaya pagkatapos maligo.Hinanda ko na rin ang isusuot ko mamaya bago lumapit kay Elise para gisingjn na siya at makapagbreakfast na kami."Elise..." I called her name while lightly tapping his shoulder.I saw her smile before opening her eyes. "Kanina pa ko gising, ikot ka nang ikot, ang dami mong ginagawa." She chuckled."Sorry, hinanda ko na kasi lahat para mabilis tayong makaalis maya-maya. Go wash up na, I'll wait you ulit sa kitchen. Do you drink coffee ba?" I asked her.She shook her head. "Hot choco or milk." "Okay, wash up na." I fixed her hair before going outside my room.I placed 2 plates sa table with forks and spoons. I put how water din sa dalawang cup and tried to find hot choco packs sa ref

Third Person's POVNakangiti na ngunit kinakabahan si Topher sa kaniyang pinaplano. Biglaan kasi niya lang iyon naisip kanina. Mabuti nga at naroon ang personal assistant ng Lolo niya na si Mr. Santos para ibili siya ng bulaklak.Nang makapasok siya sa gate ay nagulat pa siya nang makitang naghihintay si Elise sa pintuan wearing a smile that Topher would do everything just for him to see it over and over again."It's cold here outside ,you should have waited na lang inside. I told you pupuntahan naman kita sa room mo," Topher said the moment he got near to her."It's awkward there, Kuya Amiel's not talking to me," Elise replied, almost a whisper."He's still might be shocked, no one's ready for your return, give him time." Elise just nodded as her response and that's where she only noticed the flowers on Topher's hands. "Oh, new beginnings..." Topher told as he gave the flowers to Elise. New beginnings, that's what yellow daffodils means. And that's what they are going to have."Than

Axel Topher's POVAng tahimik ng dining area ng mga Guevarra habang kumakain kami, tanging tunog lang ng mga kutsara't tinidor kapag tumatama sa pinggan ang naririnig ko.Elise might be feeling uneasiness din, si Tita kasi pinapanood siyang kumain. I can't blame her, I know how much she misses her daughter, her only daughter na kasama niya all her life bago umalis si Elise."Baby, pinalinis ko ulit ang room mo. Wala kaming binago ro'n, inalagaan lang namin ng linis para pagbalik mo ay ganoon pa rin," masiglang sabi ni Tita na bumasag sa katahimikan na kanina pa bumabalot sa lugar na 'to.Usually naman kasi ay hindi naman ganito katahimik kapag nagdidinner ako rito nung wala si Elise. It's either sinesermonan nila Tito ang kambal or nagbibilin dahil aalis na naman sila for a business trip."Uhm...Mommy, sasama ako kay Topher pauwi. Doon muna ako sa condo niya," Elise said na ikinagulat ng lahat, including me."Elise, no, this is your house. Why—" Tita Elisa was cutted off by Tito."Lov

"Baby, ibaba mo na ang mga gamit mo. Parating na raw ang Daddy mo," utos ni Mommy na kasalukuyan ding nagbababa ng gamit niya.Ngayon na kasi kami lilipat sa bahay nila Daddy, my step-father. Nung isang araw ay kinasal na sila kaya pumayag na si Mommy na lumipat kami ro'n. I already met my step-brothers too and they are nice. I know them naman na since they are my schoolmates since I started studying and they are really famous.Siguro if we went to school together ay susugurin ako ng mga fans club nila."Mommy! Can I bring my book shelf there!?" pasigaw kong tanong kay Mommy because I am upstairs and she's busy organizing her luggages downstairs."No, baby, may book shelf na raw ang room mo ro'n. Bumaba ka na rito, ayan na ata ang Daddy mo."I just shrugged with her answer and followed her. I carried my luggage and went downstairs. Tatlong beses akong nagpabalik-balik sa pagbaba ng mga gamit ko.Sinipa ko na nga lang pababa ang isang backpack ko na puro damit lang naman ang laman dahi
