"Okay ka na?" he asked me the next day. I just nodded at him before finally getting in his car. I asked him to accompany me to where I am going today. "Saan tayo pupunta?" he asked while smiling."Just drive," I answered. He nodded and obeyed what I said. I was just silent as I watched the other vehicles. I smiled when I found the car that I was looking for. "Follow that car," I told him as I pointed to the white car in front of us. "Let the driver know that we're following him," I commanded again. He nodded and stepped on the gas."Place your car beside it," I said before opening the window beside me. "Just follow the car," I told him and in a snap, I'm already inside their car."Hi," I saw how his eyes widened and were surprised to see me sitting next to him."Paanong..." he was unable to finish what he was saying out of panic."Drive safely, mababangga tayo," I told him. I looked at the backseat and saw a little boy crying. Without a warning, I stopped the car which made him even
Third Person's POV"Mierda (Shit)," mahinang mura niya ng makitang tumilapon ang dalawang lalaki. Kating-kati na ang mga paa niyang lapitan ang mga ito para makita kung ayos lang ba sila. Nakakunot lamang ang noo nito habang nakatingin sa lalaking mukhang tangang nagtatago sa likod ng babae."Sinabi ko naman sa 'yong hindi ka magtatagumpay sa binabalak mo. Hindi na siya ang dati mong kilala."Napairap ito bago tumingin sa katabi niyang bigla na lamang sumulpot mula kung saan. Alam niyang bawat galaw nito ay binabantayan niya ngunit ang ipinagtataka niya lamang ay kung bakit hindi siya nito pinapakialaman sa tuwing ginagawa na niya ang balak niya."Vete a la mierda." (Fuck off) Bakas ang inis sa boses ng babae at tuluyan ng naglakad palapit doon sa dalawang lalaki nang nakaalis na iyong dalawa. "Molesto ya." (Nakakainis na)-----"Saan ka galing?" Asher asked me when I got back to his condo."I helped someone outside. Do you have alcohol?" I asked him. I forgot my alcohol at home. He
"Drink plenty of water so you won't feel dry," he told me when we got inside the house. He went to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water. After I drank that, I went straight to my room to take a shower. I left the door open so he would know that it was okay for him to enter.When I came out of the bathroom, I found him looking at the framed pictures I have inside my room. I didn't speak and just let him do it."Ikaw 'to?" he asked while pointing at a small frame. It was my picture when I was still a kid."Yes. My Dad took that photo," I answered him while drying my hair."Ikaw ulit 'to?" he asked again while laughing. He took the frame and showed it to me. "Ang dungis mo tingnan dahil sa chocolate sa mukha mo pero ang cute pa rin!" he said, obviously teasing me. "Ito pa, para kang nawawalang bata! Ang liit liit mo, pwedeng-pwede kang ibulsa!"I just rolled my eyes because of what he was saying. I had a lot of pictures when I was a kid because my dad loved taking photos. I l
disclaimer: long chapterAfter the incident, they decided to close the Restaurant for today. I am sitting now beside Asher and facing the two cops. I just crossed my arms while waiting for them. One was busy writing while the other was busy looking at every corner of the restaurant.I sighed and couldn't stop myself from talking. "Aren't we starting yet?" I asked impatiently. We've been sitting here for almost half an hour but still, nothing was happening. We're just wasting time."Wala kaming makuhang impormasyon tungkol doon sa dalawang lalaki." The man who was writing earlier said. I raised an eyebrow at what I heard. "Bukod sa marami ng nagrereport sa kanila dahil sa trabaho nilang magnakaw at kung anu-ano pang records ay wala kaming makuhang papeles na nagpapatunay na taga-rito sila at kung ano ang mga pangalan nila.""So?" I asked him again. What does he mean?"Ang tanging nakita lang namin sa kanila ay ito..." he took something from his plastic pocket and laid it in front of us
I woke up feeling someone holding my hand tightly. My eyes immediately widened when I saw Asher sitting on the side of my bed, his cheek resting on his left arm sleeping peacefully while holding my hand tightly."What are you---" I groaned in pain when I felt pain in my chest as I tried to get up. Because of the sudden noise I made, Asher woke up and I saw how he panicked when he saw me."Bakit? May masakit ba sa 'yo? Anong nararamdaman mo? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He didn't know what to do first but he ended up sitting again and holding my hand as he looked into my eyes worriedly."What are you doing here?" I asked him again, trying to hide the pain I am feeling right now. "Sorry. Hindi kasi ako mapakali noong nakauwi ako kaya bumalik ako dito. Sinabihan ako ni Rose na magkunwaring hindi ko alam, na wala akong nalaman at siya na ang bahala sa 'yo pero hindi ko kaya," he explained. "Bakit hindi mo sinabi kaagad sa akin? Kung hindi pa ako bumalik, hindi ko pa malal
Dere-deresto lang ang lakad ko papunta sa Restaurant ni Asher. Sarado na halos lahat ng nakapaligid dito dahil anong oras na rin. Ang tanging nagbibigay na lang ng liwanag ay ang mga streetlight."Sia!" Rose shouted for the nth time but I didn't look back. "I swear, you will not like what you---"I could no longer understand what she was saying when I saw what was happening in front of me. "Asher..." I whispered. He tries to dodge all the blows given to him. "Asher!" I shouted and quickly approached him.I kicked the man in the stomach before going to him. "What happened to you? Are you okay? Why did you turn off your phone?!"He suddenly grabbed me by my shoulder and pulled me away from our place with all his might. I turned to the man and saw that he was holding a stick. I stood up and closed my eyes firmly. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes and looked at him. I shifted my gaze to the pole so he bumps there."Are you okay?!" I asked him again. He weakly nodded at me. "Don't clos
"Good morning!" Asher greeted me when I got down to the living room. I saw him preparing food on the table. "Kain na tayo," he stood behind me and pushed me to sit down. "Did you sleep well?" "What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Wala lang. Gusto lang kitang lutuan ng almusal. May gagawin ka ba mamaya? Samahan mo 'ko sa Restaurant.""Why would I go there with you?""That's my wish for today," he grinned before starting to eat. He's using his wish card again! "Come on, let's go! Wala ka namang gagawin, eh!" He said as he forced me into his car."Stop pushing me! I could ride your car without you pushing me!" I told him then rushed to get in his car before I slammed the door shut. I fastened my seatbelt right away before I let out a heavy sigh. "Don't you dare go somewhere alone. My sister might come to you again." I reminded him. He just nodded before driving.“Kaya nga sinasama kita, eh,” umiiling na sabi niya."Ma'am Sia, good morning po!" Vince cheerfully greeted me as I entere
"Is everything fine?" Rose asked me while sipping her coffee."Why didn't you tell me?" I asked her back. "Tell you what?""You met my sister before I did," I said before looking at her. "Do you have no idea about her or are you just pretending that you know nothing?""She's being protected by my sister. You know I can't meddle with someone else's property.""Don't say that as if my sister is a lot. She is no one's property," I quite angrily said.“Wala akong alam, okay na? My sister planned this.""I'm not buying that. Deity knows everything," I answered with my disbelieving voice."Can't you speak in Tagalog?""Can't you just leave?" I fired back. I glared at her before I turned my attention back to the movie I was watching. I don't even know why she's here. All of a sudden she emerges from nowhere."Anong plano mo? Anong gagawin mo?""What else? I'm planning to adopt them both. I'll give them the life they missed for the past years. The life they wish they had," I seriously said
