Chapter 18
'You don't deserve to be a Dela Huerta'
Those words are keep on playing inside my head while having dinner with Nana Rita and Kuya Brand. Yeah, my father is not around yet and I wonder even more kung kailan siya balak umuwi.
"Ayos ka lang hija?" Kuya Brandon ask me.
I raise my gaze to him and smile "Ayos lang naman po" I politely reply.
"Iniisip mo parin ang sinabi nang lalaking yun?" Nana Rita inteject.
I tighten my grip on the spoon I'm holding. I wanted to ask her but I know she won't dare to give me answers. Why? Because it's part of the rules. I must not ask unnecessary things and I feel like my question right now is unnecessary.
"Eline-"
"Yes," I cut her off although I know that I sound rude "I am bothered that despite everything that I did- no one still recognize me as Dela Huerta. We both know Dad never recognize me as one"
"Eline"
I sigh and shut my eyes close. I am starting to be emotional...

I blink my eyes for how many times stunned with what Alas Prian said. I don't know kung paano ko siya dapat intindihin because it seems like he is implying something that he just can't put into words.I just back into my senses when I heard him chuckle."Tangina, baliw na yata ako" he snap brushing his hair using his fingers."Huh?" I tilt my head habang naka angat parin ang tingin sa kanya "You look okay naman ah," I point out with puzzled look on my face.Malakas siyang natawa na kinalaki ng mata ko sa gulat. Instinctively I roam my eyes around and I feel a bit embarrass when I saw those students that are staring the two of us with suspicion in their eyes. Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin at alanganing ngumiti kay Alas Prian nang mapansin kong nakatingin siya sa akin. His eyes is gleaming with playfulness just like the usual teasing me when I did something that he finds funny.What's with him? He's a bit different today. Medyo naguguluhan ako sa mga

"Gusto mo bang malaman kung bakit?"I blink my eys while staring at him and he is also staring at me with a playful smirk plastered on his face. There's a sudden uncertainty to say 'yes' to him na hindi ko alam kung saan nag mula. Looking at him this close, I realize something that I didn't able to notice before.My lips curved and was about to say something when suddenly a voice of a man interject behind me."Tangina Al! buhay ka pa pala ng ganitong oras?"Napakunot ang noo ko ng bahagya while innocently looking at Alas Prian. He tilt his head before he look at the guy behind me, grinning casually."Gago!" malutong niyang mura that made me bit my lower lip, "Anong tingin mo sa akin? Tangina to," he added laughing.He suddenly held my arm without looking at me and gently pull me beside him to face the guy that he is having a conversation. I press my lips together when I saw a tall guy but not as tall as Alas. He is not familiar to me, but I

I am not familiar with all of the Filipino cuisine dahil sa ibang bansa ako lumaki. That's why I am having a hard time to decide which one to order. Everything are look appetizing but I am not quite sure if all of it goes with my preference with food. But anyway, I am not a picky eater."Ano na? Loading ka na dyan" Alas chuckle while standing behind me.Napakamot ako sa pisngi ko. I can feel the lady in front of me waiting for my order. It's embarrassing because I've been standing on my spot right now for about five minutes now.Nag simula akong mamili dahil hinayaan naman ako ni Alas na pumili ng gusto ko. He said that it will be his libre so I will just grab the chance to try something new."What is this" I ask Alas na nakasunod sa bawat lakad ko."Pakbet. Masarap yan"I tilt my head. He's indeed right, it smell delicious for sure masarap din ang lasa niya. And I think I already heard that pakbet to Nana Rita. If I am not mistaken, pakbet
Moth On The Flame Prologue
Alas Prian's Point Of ViewShe is like a beautiful flame that shines every day and night, and I was like a naive moth who keep on lingering around the corner tempted to touch her. She is like a forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden, and I'm the fool Adan who tempted to have a taste of her. Although I know the consequence of my foolishness, I still dare to cross the path between us. And I'm more than willing to die a martyr for the love that I had for her."She's a Dela Huerta, Alas"I frown when I heard what Sideros told me. I'm aware of that fact, but what can I do? Cupid hit me so hard. I was like a fucking moth who's so tempted to touch a fire, and Elizabeth Lemonine Dela Huerta is a fire that could burn me alive and yet I still want her. Putangina lang pero gustong gusto ko siya, kahit na alam kung ako mismo ang papaso sa sarili ko kapag sinubukan kong malunod sa kanya."You have been warned by Priam, Abuelo wou

Elizabeth Lemonine's Point Of View "You're going back to Tierra Veloz, Elizabeth" I stilled on my spot when I heard what he said. I was taken aback that I couldn't utter yes instantly. My mind went blank for a couple of seconds wandering on its own not until I heard his strict tone of voice again. "Narinig mo ba ang sinabi ko Elizabeth?" I bit the inside of my mouth upon hearing his menacing tone and nervously nod my head although he can't see me. "Yes father, I did hear you," I said softly and shook my head. "Good" he murmured on the other line "Tomorrow is your flight, your Yaya Rita will accompany you so don't worry" he added. I bit my lower lip "Okay Dad" I paused "By the way, I already take an entrance examination for fine arts-" "You will stay here in the Philippines for good Elizabeth" he cut me off "And who says you will take fine arts program?

A surprise was evident on their faces, halatang nagulat sila dahil sa biglaan kong pag pasok at pag sabat sa kanilang usapan. I know it's rude to interject on their conversation but I just can't stand there knowing na baka mauwi sa away ang mainit nilang sagutan. I look at the two when they didn't utter a word, so instead of forcing them to answer me- I stretch my lips into a smile. "Dad didn't force me Kuya, everything is fine with me. As matter of fact, I am happy because I'm finally living with you all" I smilingly said to assure my brother that everything is fine with me. Dad suddenly claps his hand na kinagulat ko and then he laughed. "See? Your sister understands me more than you understand me Redniz" he said proudly and walk towards my direction spreading his both arms "Come here my daughter, give your father a hug" he said to me while smiling. I suddenly felt a genuine happiness when I saw his smile and move my feet to approach him. Ni

"Eline?"I flinch and immediately turn around dahil sa gulat. Agad naman akong ngumiti when I saw my Nana Rita approaching me while holding a glass of milk."Bakit nakatayo ka pa rito?" She queries and glances at the frame I'm holding.I immediately return it and scratch my left cheek "I notice something Nana" I voice out and train my gaze again to those picture frames before I look at her again "There's no picture of my mother displayed on those frames" I utter.I saw how her eyes widened and then she suddenly pulled me and drag me towards my room without saying anything. I confusingly look at her not expecting that sudden move.What's the problem? May nasabi ba akong mali?"Huwag ka na ulit mag tatanong tungkol sa bagay na yun Eline" pagalit niyang sabi sa akin causing my brows to furrow."What's wrong?" naguguluhan kong tanong "I didn't saw Mom's face since I was a kid. And Abuela told me that Dad has a lot of pictures of my Mom, s

"Curious, curious about how beautiful you are," he said that made me stunned on my spot.The wind blows and time seems to stop for a second as I felt his intense stare at me. My lips parted a bit surprised with his reason. I blink my eyes and slowly a genuine smile form on my lips amused with him.I mentally laugh. I didn't know it was my fault."Tara na sa loob Eline" Nana Rita suddenly said and held my arm that pulled me back to my senses.I slowly nod my head and let Nana guide me as we walk inside the house. I didn't look back, but my mind wanders on its own."Do you know those young men Nana?" I query while we're walking upstairs."Hindi ko nga masyadong familiar dahil madilim. Pero malalagot talaga sa akin ang mga yun kapag inulit pa nila" may bahid nang inis na sabi niya making me laugh softly."Kuya Red and Kuya Vinzon was like that too when they were still at my age. I still can remember- Dad send Kuya Red to Spain to ground
