IT'S GETTING LATE. Are you sure you still want to wait for him?" I worriedly asked Shanta beside me in the driver's seat of her car. "He's taking so much time. Kanina pa tayo dito. Should you call him?"
It was already minutes past six when I checked my watch. It's been an hour since we started waiting for her ex boyfriend whom I have angered extremely. Perhaps, this was also the reason why he's still not showing up. Or not still, but will never.
Plus, I can't call him. Surely, he'll not answer. Masama pa ang loob niya sa akin matapos ang mainit na bangayan namin. It could be he already blocked my number from his contacts.
Okay, I don't care, but I won't do the same. Hindi ko siya masisisi kung ganoon ang nararamdaman niya. It's his own feelings anyway. Hey, readers!
Guess what? It's me and Shanta's birthday today (January 30)! Your fave character wishes more and more Kagans to come and more second leads for me. Joke!
Love,

HUMINGI NG TAWAD?" Clavis echoed Shanta’s explanation and slowly faced her with a befuddled look. "Hihingi ka ng tawad sa kanila?" Unti-unting bumaba ang tingin ko kay Shanta. Litong-lito ako sa mga ipinapakita niyang kilos. Her words were out of the planet. It's like a language that she only knew about. Alam ko kung nagsisinungaling siya o hindi. While I observed her facial expressions, she didn’t seem to be kidding at all. Her brows were relaxed and her eyes told her cousin that this wasn’t for a show. Totoong nangyayari ito. She actually swallowed her pride and bravely confronted the consequences of her actions. This was her, praying for peace. And asking for forgiveness was her first grand step in achieving that.
MARAMI NA AKONG PABOR na binibigay sa 'yo, Dalmi." Clavis pushed Shanta's right shoulder slightly as they were seated beside each other. "Kahit bawal ang alak sa 'yo, deserve mo pa ring uminom ngayon." After our stressful class in Physics and the confrontation between us and Euart, we found her cousin here. Siya ang naunang umalis sa klase at sinundan namin siya rito sa isang restobar sa Bonifacio Global City. "Itagay mo lang 'yang sakit na nararamdaman mo," dagdag nito habang itinataas ang bote ng alak. "Hindi masamang iinom mo ang hinanakit diyan sa marupok mong puso. Deserve mong kalimutan siya. Deserve mo ang Cuervo ngayon." For the rest of the day, she was mute. She did not recite even once in all our subjects. Even my mind was absent-minded throughout the d
SHIT! WHY DID YOU have to show it to her, Kat?!" My voice thundered as I flashed a death glare that resembled a lightning strike. Hindi niya dapat ginawa iyon. "You should've warned us the first few seconds you saw it! Now, she has run away! Paano na siya hahabulin?" He grimaced and punched the air. "Damn! Pasensya na, pare! Kinuha niya agad sa 'ken, eh-" "Diyan na kayo. Hindi pa nakakalayo 'yon," tarantang sabat ni Clavis saka dali-daling nilagpasan ako. "Clave, I'll go with you!" hiyaw ko at binalik ang cellphone kay Katlego. But before I ran after Clavis, I looked at them. "Leave if you have to leave. This might take an hour or so. Mahirap kumbinsihin ang babaeng ginalit niyo." "Egis lang, Boss Kage. Sund
TEMPERANCE is one of the virtues that humans have to practice.From sipping back your drool once you've laid eyes on some lustrous, delectable, and sweet fountain of chocolate with marshmallows, strawberries, and wafers beneath a golden dish-like statue, to controlling the beast within you as someone you abhor appears in front of your eyes.However, that was the most absolute virtue I sometimes do not practice.When I was in middle school, I did something horrendous to one of my classmates, which I'm not confident about because it was butchering my head.She was our class president. And as the not-so-last but part of the last ranking students, I was not meant to befriend someone in the top list.
I WAS TOO STUNNED to even utter a word since the moment I found out about the extent of Shanta’s power and will.Because of mixed rage due to betrayal and rivalry, she almost killed Avancea! Muntik na niya itong malunod habang sinasabunutan sa swimming pool!I could not imagine how the fierce Avancea cried for help, begged for mercy, and swam for survival when her hair was being pulled by the almighty Shanta!However, her monstrous strength amazed me, which was so cruel of me. Hindi ko alam kung bakit walang awa at malasakit na dumadaloy sa dugo ko para sa kalagayan ni Avancea.A part of my brain even told me that she deserved the consequences of her actions! She did something, then something bad w
SHANTA…" I whispered, staring at the woman inside the car. A smile formed in my lips as a little dash of light from my car glowed her glorious face. "Y-you look changed…" Gulat kong pinagmasdan ang kalahati ng katawan niyang makikita sa loob ng bintana. Her hand rested on the steering wheel while she stared at me with a smug look. Tatlong araw lang ang itinagal upang baguhin niya ang itsura. I didn't know this was going to be the effect of her anger, a good change. Hindi ko mapigilan ang sariling mahumaling at matulala sa natural na hubog ng kanyang mala-anghel na mukha. As often as she was putting it on, there were no spiky black lines on her lids. Natural na mga mata niya ang kumikislap. Walang itim na nagbibigay ng masamang ugaling impresyon sa kanya. At hindi
ALRIGHT, SHANTA. Time to tell me the truth. Why are you doing this?" I questioned her straightforwardly because laying this colorful cover doesn't explain much about her motives of calling me here in the wilderness beside the edge of the cliff and asking me out for some beer. "I don't get why we're here," dagdag ko at litong-lito sa mga ginagaw niya para sa akin. "As far as I can recall, all I did was nothing good to you. You hate me, Shanta. You hate me for worrying too much for you. You hate me for minding your own business." Kindness is something extraordinary for someone who rarely shows it. That's why when the particular person actually shows it knowingly, almost everyone... lahat ng tao ay nagugulat sa pinapakita nitong pagbabago. As they call it, an evil p
SHE WANTS TO TALK…" I called out when Euart walked past me and refused to have a respectful conversation with me. His back was facing me while he carried a black suitcase on his shoulder. I knew he still cared for Shanta, that's why he stopped mid-stride. Kahit papaano, binigyan ako ng kaunting pag-asa na matulungang umusad ang kaibigan ko. Her last night's wish will be a wish granted if only her ex would give her a chance. As an exchange for doing her a favor, she has to catch up with her studies. After all, she's excelling in most of o
