“AH, fuck!” I muttered to myself as I finally succeeded in lighting up the lighter I was holding. I positioned the flame to the cigarette between my lips and closed my eyes as I took my first puff.
This day was fucking stressful. My physics professor scolded me and embarrassed me in front of my classmates a couple of times earlier. Fuck that old woman. Was it my fault that she was bad at teaching and I couldn't understand the formula for acceleration?
"Cresia?"
I looked to the direction where the voice came from. It came from a group of students loitering near the gate of the campus. I knew some of them. They were my classmates last semester. Eventually, some of them became my drinking buddies. I don't consider them my friends, though. I don't do friendshi
IS that Caren’s bastard boyfriend?I asked myself when I saw a familiar guy in a restaurant beside St. Luke's Medical Center.Caren fell asleep early tonight so I decided to leave her to go to the hospital.I confirmed my hunch when I noticed a familiar motorbike parked in front of the restaurant. I looked again at Jake who was seated beside the glass wall. He was not alone. He was with someone. A girl.Fuck. I remembered he told Caren they can't go out tonight because of some important errands he had to do. So this is the errand that he was talking about.I raised my brow as I watched him kiss the girl on the lips. I smirked. The nerve of thi
"KAIROS, where are you?! I need to talk to you!"It was almost midnight. I was walking my way back to Caren's house. The streets of the village were already empty at this time of the night. There were no cars passing by. I could only hear the sound of a barking dog coming from somewhere.I couldn't believe everything I learned at the hospital. Lenos can see me and was the father of the child I saved that night. I remembered the first time I saw him in Caren's class. That's why I felt like he was looking at me, because he really was. That bastard!I have so many questions right now. And I know only Kairos could answer them for me."Kairos?!" I repeated his name. "Kairos!""What do you need, human?"
"CRESIA."Lenos' voice brought me back to the present."Lana? She was Lana's daughter?" I asked Lenos, confused. I clearly heard the little girl yesterday. She called him 'Daddy.'"Leah was Lana's daughter. But I am considered to be Leah's legal guardian.""Why? Where is your sister?""She was gone.""Huh? What do you mean?""She died nine years ago."I wanted to speak but I didn't know what to say. Lana is already dead? How did that happen?"Remember the day we last talked?" Lenos asked me. "The day aft
“YES, Dad! I have a boyfriend. His name's Jake."I heard Caren say in a high voice. She was talking to her father who's on the other end of the line.It was Sunday night and Caren was all alone in the house. Earlier today, her Aunt Feling left the house to visit one of her relatives who had an accident and is now in the hospital. The old lady was asking Caren to come with her but the former chose to stay at home.I looked at Caren. Her face crumpled as she was listening to what her father was saying at the end of the line.I couldn't hear whatever her father was saying but based on the look from Caren's face, they were arguing about her having a boyfriend."Stop telling me what to do with my life
“GET up.” I took the comforter on Caren's head to force her to get up.It was already seven in the morning and she still hasn't got up from the bed. "You're gonna be late for school. It's already seven—"“What the fuck!?”I was stunned when I saw her. She looked sick. Her face was pale, but her eyes were fluffy and red. I thought she's just lying when she said that she doesn't feel good. It looked like she was really sick.The door of her room opened. Aunt Feling entered the room. The old lady went home before midnight last night. Her face suddenly filled with concern when she saw Caren."You have a fever," the old lady said after touching Caren. She sighed. "You can
“FUCK!” I whispered to myself while staring at the ceiling. I'm still lying on Caren's bed. I don’t know why I suddenly felt weak. I turned my gaze to the walk-in closet where Caren was at the moment.Is it possible that I also got sick from lying beside her last night?I almost laughed at myself. Of course, that's fucking far from possible. Did I forget that I’m in my spiritual form?“That’s what happens when you use too much of your energy.”“Fuck!” I muttered when Kairos' voice filled the room. I got up from the bed and found him beside me.“Language, Lucresia.”“You scared the shit
I SNATCHED the bouquet of flowers from Caren. I tossed it in the trash can.Caren strangely looked at me. Her mouth was wide open. "Why did you do that?""I don't need them. Besides, they look disgusting."I glanced at the flowers on the bin. Fuck! I just remembered what Kairos told me. I shouldn't have wasted my energy on these stupid things. Fuck, Lenos! What did he want to tell me by sending those flowers?“Tsk…tsk…" Caren glanced at the trash bin before turning to me. "I can't believe Sir Lenos couldn't move on from you. After all those years…" Caren was smirking at me. "I'm still wondering what he saw in you?"I gave her a glare.
“WHY are you looking at me like that?" Lenos asked me with his eyebrows furrowed.We were studying in the library together. Lenos volunteered to tutor me in Physics when I failed my midterm exam in that fucking subject. It was all my professor's fault. That woman was just good at shaming her students and never in teaching. From the start of semester, I wasn't able to learn a thing from that old hag.Lenos and I were here in the library for almost an hour but I kept on getting distracted. Instead of focusing on the formula Lenos was teaching me, I just can't help but stare at his face.I rested my palm on my chin. Then I smiled at him. “I just want to...”He was wearing his glasses right now. And I coul
