KIADo you ever wake up and can't move? That day is today. 6:24 is my alarm. Ah, 24. It's my favorite. Number satisfaction didn't wake me up. I set my alarm for five minutes before nearly losing it. I turned off my alarm and fell asleep again. 7:24 a.m. is my second alarm. As far as I know, Ares still doesn't live for work. I heard him cooking. I stayed in the bedroom while he was home. I suddenly shuddered and looked out my window.…What idiot keeps their window open in the Philippines. I guess that makes me an idiot…I am lucky enough that no one dares to intrude while I am asleep. I dozed off while waiting for Ares to leave for work. At 8:24, my eyes opened once more. Even worse, I had no idea that I had dozed off again. I glance out the window, but his car is still there. Screw this, you know what I mean. I'll just skip my morning class and stay in bed for the time being. At 9:24 again, my alarm went off. I threw my phone across the room out of wrath, but it bounced off a chair an
KIAWhile I waited there waiting for the bus, the brisk, chilly wind rushed by me. I wanted to get away from Ares at home, so I purposefully arrived home late today. Since Miaree and Marcy were unable to join me for dinner, I went to a restaurant close to our university by myself and had supper there. It is already rather late; I wonder if he made it home safely...I cautiously opened the door, only to discover to my astonishment that no one was there. He predicted that he would be tardy tonight. How long will he be staying late tonight to finish his work? After I had entered our home, I positioned my bag on the couch. I made the decision to start making dinner for us as I waited for him this evening. I just had the thought that maybe he would be really exhausted later, in which case it would be too cruel of me to not make anything for him to eat or drink.I hurried into the kitchen and promptly began preparing a late meal for him. I was so focused on the meal that I lost track of th
KIA "Finally here..." I sighed when I saw the cafe shop in the distance. I tucked my phone back into my jacket pocket and sped up a bit toward it. I'm skipping my class today since I don’t have any energy to go there. I told Miaree and she said she will too and she is inviting me for a road trip but I declined. I said that I wanted a peaceful place, and she suggested this cafe. Since we still have a lot of things to discuss after what she said last night. I made my way to the cafe. When I arrived at the cafe, I held the door and waited a few seconds for an old lady to walk in before stepping inside. The heat from the store made me shiver. "Thank you,” the old lady said. I smiled and pulled my hood down. They sell the finest coffee from all over the world. Additionally, it features a book corner where we may purchase books on the left-hand side of the store. Additionally, they make excellent coffee. Students and workers can unwind here in the best possible environment. I entered th
At the Vueravista Company "Excuse me, I'm looking for someone,” Kianna said.“Yes, Miss. Who is it?” the lady asked.“It is my husband. His name is Ares France Vuertalejo. He works here. I would like to speak to him, but I can’t get through to him. Would you please contact him for me?" Kianna asked, begging them to help her contact her husband.“We are very sorry, Ma’am, but we can't contact anyone here without an appointment."“Please help me, maybe just a contact number from his home? He wasn’t at home yesterday, his phone couldn’t be reached, and I was worried about him…” Kianna immediately grabbed her phone and searched for Ares' photos. “Here. This is him. Maybe you know him. He is the secretary of the CEO of this company,” Kianna added.The two ladies looked at each other with question marks on their faces. “Ma’am, we haven’t seen him in this company.”“What do you mean, you haven’t seen him?”“Wait, Ma’am, what is his name again—”“Ares— Ares France Vuertalejo.” Kianna immedia
ARESTime has passed; it’s been two days since I left. I am starting to get worried about Kianna. I don’t know what happened to her when I left. I wanted to know how she felt when she knew I was gone. How did she feel? Is she looking for me? Boom! Bang! Pop! I was startled at the first shot. I wasn't prepared to hear the pistol vibrate through the large viewing glass walls. It was louder than I had anticipated, even though I thought I had braced myself for the sounds of gunshots.On a peaceful gloomy Monday, a mix of families, couples, and friends was in the crowd, shooting at various targets with various guns. I never considered how much fun it would be for families to go to the OC Indoor Shooting Range in Batangas. I simply didn't realize how enjoyable shooting could be until that moment. I've never been here before. My friend suggested this to me because all I wanted to do was do something to temporarily forget about my problem.A friend of mine named Dave entered the room while
KIA…He promised to pick me up after school…There is only one subject left, the Theory of Personality, which takes two hours. I am currently in the library trying to be alone. It’s actually lunchtime right now, but I don’t have the appetite to eat, so I decided not to eat and just spend my time in the library. But after Ares called me, I just felt like something in my stomach was growling like a lion. I immediately grabbed my bag and went to the cafeteria. I still had twenty minutes before lunch ended. I need to hurry!Time passed, and all the students just left, leaving the canteen a mess. I went straight to my department and found a seat. My eyes catch Miaree, so I walk toward her and sit beside her. She was looking at me suspiciously the whole time. …I don’t know what is wrong with her…“Hey, what happened?” she whispered, curiously.I covered her mouth, “Shhh! What do you mean?” “You are acting different today. Did something happen?” “No…”“Oh, you are such a liar, Kianna!”“
…Should I keep hiding it? Even if Kianna can accept the fact that I was born rich, how does she deal with the complicated connection of my family — Especially… My family does business with the most dangerous family in the country…He put the meatloaf in the oven and started to make the gravy. An hour passed. The meatloaf was done. The potatoes had cooked through. He added the butter, the milk, and a tablespoon of yogurt and mashed the potatoes. He pulled out some parsley and placed a couple of sprigs on the cutting board. He began cutting them into fine pieces. “Hon, dinner will be ready soon. Wash up, it is time to eat.” Ares said, calling for Kia.Kianna walks toward the kitchen and takes a glimpse of her husband. …Though he is back, we haven’t cleared the atmosphere yet. There is still an awkwardness between us. Should I ask him? But what if we get into another fight again? This is a dilemma…“Hon, it’s time for dinner!” Kianna was startled by Ares' voice, and she immediately ru
Kianna had spent the majority of the night walking around outside by herself when she ultimately made the decision to return given the increasing chill of the wind. When she pulled up in front of their house, she discovered that her husband was already waiting for him there. He is slouched in that position, sitting on the ground. Kianna inched her way closer to Ares over time. Ares noticed that she was one foot in front of him as she approached closer. He turned his head slowly upward and saw Kianna standing there, looking concernedly at him."Why are you here outside?" As Kianna assisted Ares in standing, she asked the question to him."I feared you were going to leave me, but here I am, waiting for you to return..." After Ares answered, he went ahead and gave Kianna a hug. A hug filled with need and the worry that Kianna will eventually leave him.Kianna snuggled up to him and put her cheek against his chest. "I won't... I just wanted some quiet time to myself, but everything is alr
