"Magtitwenty-six ka na." Natatawang saad ko kay Ares na nakayakap sa akin mula sa likod.
He groaned and buried his face on the hollow of my neck. I chuckled because of his reaction.
"Feeling old yet?"
"Shut up, Narelle." He said as he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Umalingawngaw sa apat na sulok ng kwarto ko ang malakas kong tawa. Mangiyak-ngiyak pa ako habang parang tangang tumatawa. Ang lalaki sa likod ko naman ay hindi ko makita ang ekspresyon. He tightened his hug on me. His fingers accidentally touched my bare bellybutton that made me laugh more.
"Ares, that tickles!"
Napatigil ako sa pagtaw

"Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. Malapit na tayong grumaduate mga mare!" Biglang sambit ni Lian at naghampasan silang dalawa ni Magui. Napailing ako habang may ngiting nakapaskil sa mga labi. Yes, ilang araw na lang ay gagraduate na kami sa college. Today, we are already preparing for the graduation ball that will happen tomorrow night. Naganap ang retreat namin last week. Masaya at marami kaming natutunan roon. We went to one of our family’s beach resorts, nakatanggap pa ako ng iilang papuri at kesyo raw sobrang yaman talaga ng pamilya namin. I just laughed awkwardly and said thanks.. ‘cause I didn't know what to say. We did a lot of activities there and it's like we were given time to learn more about ourse

The first thing I felt as soon as I opened my eyes was my soreness down there.Napapikit akong muli nang maalala ko na naman ang mga nangyari kagabi hanggang kaninang madaling araw.In a span of four hours, we did a lot of nasty things. Well, we did have a break. It wasn't a continuous exercise. Everytime we got tired, we would just lay on the bed while lazy kissing and then it would lead us to doing it again.I perfectly remembered how he was gentle at first. Like he’s stopping himself from doing something that would hurt me. But it did hurt the first time his thing went inside of me. He would say

"What took you so long?" Iyan ang bungad na tanong ni Dad sa aming dalawa ni Ares pagkapasok namin sa manoir. Eh, kasi naman. Sa tagal naming gumawa ng milagro roon sa sasakyan niya ay naabutan na kami ng ulan. Samantalang sina Apollo ay kanina pa palang nakarating dito sa bahay. We made them worry. We spent almost an hour in that narrow lane to do something nasty! We were so late for the family lunch. And our family being paranoid and worried, they thought negative things happened while we were on the road. Ginoo, simbako palayo! We were both scolded for taking too much time. Bakit ba ang tagal naming dalawa, e, ang lapit lapit lang naman ng village sa university! I didn't want to lie but I also didn't want

Umusbong ang tensyon sa buong dining hall ng manoir. “He got me pregnant.” Parang sirang plaka na nagpaulit-ulit ang mga katagang iyon sa utak ko. Ni-hindi ako makagalaw mula sa kinauupuan ko. Masyado akong nagulat sa rebelasyon ng babaeng.. ina ng boyfriend ko at nabuntis ni Papa. God! I hate to be rude but I couldn't even look at her the same way as before! I couldn't even call her Tita Solene, my boyfriend’s mother! All I can think of is that she is my late father's mistress! Oh my God! My father has a mistress!? Tuluyan na ngang tumulo ang luha ko. Walang nakapagsalita sa amin pagkatapos noong rebelasyon ni Tita. Masyado kaming nagulat at pino

Hindi ko inalintana ang sasabihin ng pamilya ko at kaagad na tumakbo papuntang garahe para magmaneho patungo sa ospital. Shit! This is what I'm saying. Kaya pala kanina pa ako hindi mapakali. I should've listened to my guts. Dapat hindi muna namin sila pinaalis gayong masama ang panahon. Tita Solene, Tito Andréz, Asher, Ares, and Artemia were all inside that car. And I don't know what to do anymore! Ang sabi ng kapatid ko ay kritikal ang kondisyon nilang lahat. Oh my God. This is all our fault. Especially mine, kung sana lang hindi ako nagpadala sa emosyon ko, kung sana lang pinagana ko ang kabutihan ko, I shouldn't have let them leave the village even when the rain is pouring hard. Dapat ay pinakiusapan ko sina Dad na kahit patuluyin muna sila sa kabilang mga bahay tu

I’m.. what? “Pardon?” Wala sa sariling sambit ko. “You are pregnant, Miss Athena. That is why you should stay healthy and avoid the things that would stress you out, lalo na ngayon na nagdadalang-tao ka. Hindi na lang ang sarili mo ang kailangan mong alagaan because you're bearing your child.” I’m.. pregnant? “Good thing at maaga nating nalaman ang pagbubuntis mo. Sa ngayon, hindi pa visible ang baby bump mo since three weeks pa lang naman. But by ten weeks, magiging halata na ang umbok sa tiyan mo.” She added in a happy tone. “By the first trimester of your pregnancy, you’ll feel nauseous and even vomit, or what we call morning sickness. Other sy

Tahimik lang ako sa buong biyahe papuntang airport. Isang pribadong jet plane na pag-aari ni Uncle Max ang sasakyan namin ni Apollo at Kuya Ryden papuntang France. Kasama namin si Kuya Ry dahil may kailangan siyang asikasuhin sa business ng mommy niya doon sa France. He’ll go on a business trip, I think. Clothing line ang negosyo nila ngunit kahit na lalaki siya at isang abogado, bihasa na siya sa negosyo nilang iyon. Bago pa man siya naging ganap na abogado ay siya na ang minsang naghahandle ng business ni Tita Amora. Pero siguro pagka-graduate ni Mari ay magfofocus na lang siya sa law firm nila, since interesado naman ang dalagitang iyon sa business nilang clothing line. “I’ll stay in France for one to two weeks. Or more, probably. Yes. Send me the details. I may be on a business trip but I can still work on it, Attorney.” Rini

The next few days weren't fine at all. It’s been exactly three weeks since I left the Philippines for a stress-free pregnancy here in France. Walang araw na hindi ko sila namimiss. Araw-araw, gabi-gabi akong nangungulila sa kanila.. lalong lalo na kay Ares.There are nights where I just stare at the ceiling and overthink things. Then I’ll start crying, remembering all that has happened in my life. I can’t help but scroll on my gallery and look for my photos with Ares. Walang kwenta ang pagpunta ko rito sa France para malayo sa stress dahil nas-stress pa rin naman ako.To be honest, things are not going well with me but I am trying my best to be better. I always flash a smile like always, like before. Like I wasn't even affected at all. But deep inside, I am dying. But I am trying to be strong for the people around m
