DarknessDumating ang Disyembre ng magsimula ang sem break namin. Pero bago sumapit ang pasko ay nagimbal ang mundo ko sa mga narinig at nalaman. I just came home from school when I went upstairs to get dressed. Natigilan ako sa paglalakad sa corridor ng makarinig ng ingay sa study room. Naka-awang ang pinto duon.  I tried to peek at it and saw Kuya standing in front of the study table talking to my mother, while Papa was sitting in the swivel chair."Walang kasalanan si Iris at wala ding kasalanan ang kapatid ko! They were too young at that time. Those godamn syndicates were to blame kaya namatay si tita Medes. So let's just forget everything. It's been how many years! The culprits got caught and paid everything for it! ""You don't understand me, Ezekiel. That's not my point! I'm not blaming your sister. Sabihin na natin na masama ang loob ko kay Iris dahil sa nangyari, pero ang kapatid mo ang inaalala ko. She was young when it happened, pero

Past   Chris P.O.V. Its chirstmas eve, I was in the General's Club when I saw a familiar girl enter the hallway. Nakasunod sa kanya ang isa sa mga kaibigan niyang lalaki.  Pagkatapos niyang piliin si Khael ay hindi na ako nakibalita pa. Sa sobrang sakit ng ginawa niya, ay dumating sa punto na sumuko na ako. It's just so hard to love her. I need to ignore the pain and my jealousy just for the sake of our friendship, but what can I do? I love her more than that and she just couldn't love me back. So I just accept the truth and stay away from her. Kahit sinong lalaki ay gagawa ng paraan para mawala ang sakit na nararamdaman. Sa kaso ko, lumayo ako at nagsimulang mang entertain ulit ng ibang babae. Nagbabakasakali na mapupunta sa iba ang atensyon ko.  Zion, one of my closest friend set up a blind date for me. That's how I met Nasia. She's kind, beautiful, and soft. Iyong tipo na magugustuhan din naman ng isang lalaki. Pe

In loveChris P.O.V.When I went home after I sent Thea to the airport I heard something I had never expected. I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it.My parents told me that there was a lady younger than my parents who went to our home and talk to my parents. She told us that her sister was the babysitter who took Euxine and that she wanted to apologize for what happened. Tinanong niya pa kung kumusta na ang bata, at gusto daw niyang pormal na humingi ng tawad sa kapatid ko. My parents said it was too late because my sister  died a year ago but the lady said it was impossible. Bago daw mangyari ang aksidente ay naipamigay na sa iba ang bata at namatay daw ang kapatid niya at ang pamangkin niya sa loob ng kotse na sinasakyan nila habang hinahabol sila ng mga sindikato.Napamahal daw ang kapatid ko sa kapatid niya kaya hindi daw magawa ng kapatid niya na ibigay ang kapatid ko sa pinuno ng mga sindikato. Itinakas daw niya ang ka

Forgive YourselfI stayed in the hospital for 5 more days until the doctor allowed me to discharge. Ng makalabas ako ng hospital ay nanatili ako sa bahay, kaya ilang araw din na hindi ako nakapasok sa klase. Mabuti nalang ay mga mga kaibigan ako na maaasahan. They always update me for our everyday classes and share me some of their notes so I can catched up to our lessons.For days when I was in the hospital my friends asked me about the kidnapping since they can't completely understood what really happened to me during my childhood. Inubos ko ang oras sa pagkukwento sa kanila and they understood it eventually. "Grabe noh? All this time you and Chris have known each other for a long time." Cyprian said while peeling the fruit for me."I can't believe it." Si Pia habang umiiling iling. Kanina pa tulala at tila malalim ang iniisip. "Chris never told me about it. Pero bakit hindi niya sinabi sayo na siya pala si Chan Chan na sinasabi mo."

I love youI will never forget what Al told me when my friends had visited me while I was still recovering in our house. My eyes widened at what I heard."He's there when the accident happened. Actually I didn't saw him that night. Nung masagasaan ka ay hindi ako agad nakalapit sayo dahil sa gulat. Ng sinubukan ko na lumapit sa'yo ay nakita ko nalang na sumulpot si Chris sa harapan ko. I'm about to stop him dahil baka galawin ka niya. Of course when an accident usually happened you shouldn't move the victim lalo na ang ulo dahil delikado." Tumango naman si Pia at si Cyprian habang nakikinig kami sa sinasabi ni Al. "Hindi ka niya ginalaw. He just couldn't move like me when we came near you. Then I saw Khael running towards you so I stop him.""You told me too na siya ang nagdala kay Thea sa hospital, diba?" Cyprian asked him.Al nodded. "Yes. I was about to go with them but the police came. Kinuha nila si Khael para dalhin sa prisinto. I can't leave him, s
