"At first I thought you really did, but I guess it was just your facade that has changed.""What is that supposed to mean, Exiquel?""What I am saying is, no matter how you try to cover it... or use anything as your defense mechanism... your true self is always leaking," He tilted his head then smiled. "You do not want to lose yourself. The real you... the old part of you... the you that is covered... the current you."I shut my mouth. I was unable to say anything. He's right. He's so fucking right that I want to yell at him so bad. I really hate how he knows me so well. I hate how he always figures out what is running in my mind.I hate it!I hate him!I stared at his eyes then pulled myself together. I looked at him with courage and fierceness. Trying to be so mighty, not wanting to crumble in front of him because of the fact that he just spitted like it is the most obvious thing in the world."What kind of tragedy?" That is what I want to know. "It looks like it was scrapped. There

"I... I didn't mean to break it," I mumbled.Dad threw the watch on my face. It hit my forehead which made me a little dizzy.I spent the night crying in my room while covering my ears. They're at it again.Mom and dad are screaming at each other again, fighting to prove a point that almost makes my ear bleed. Tears are continuously rolling on my cheeks.I flinched when I heard the sound of a vase breaking into pieces.It's always like this. Every night, every time they see each other, they'd just start arguing from the smallest thing until every issue gets involved.They'd start throwing things and painful words to each other like it is the only way to win their stupid war.I hid myself under the comforter and curled like a baby.After almost an hour, they stopped fighting. One of them probably stormed out of the house again or walked out like they're rushing errands again.Money. This family thought me that money runs the world.Sometimes, I would hear my mom say, "I only married yo

Why am I even trying to see what others can see when I have my own eyes?I should head home now too.I was astounded upon seeing such a scene when I was standing behind the gates.Dad pushed mom out the threw her clothes on her face."This is what you want, right? You want to leave this house, right? Ely? Then leave, bitch! Go to your goddamn lover!" He yelled.Mom pulled her hair and screamed. "It's you, Arnold! It's you who wants me out of your fucking house to let your other family here!"I feel like I just turned deaf upon hearing that. Dad has a family other than us."So, I am right," mom said while nodding her head. "You do have another family. How did I know? Ask me how, Arnold!"Dad was just staring at her madly laughing while crying. "You thought I wouldn't find out because I am an idiot you say. Hahaha! Between the two of us, you are the birdbrain! Going on a business trip for a week alone... wasting money on toys for the charity when you can't even buy your son one is such

My heart was throbbing for her.Her tears kept on falling like her eyes were a broken faucet."No one ever said that there's an easy way,When they're closing all their doors,And they don't want you anymore,This sounds funny, but I'll say it anyway,"I brushed her tears away with my thumb. Her cheeks were so cold and delicate. I wonder if she ever felt fragile."Girl, I'll stay," I whispered then pulled her gently.I caressed her hair while her head was resting on my chest. I can still hear her faint sobs but it's gradually fading away. We were in that position until her body relaxed, and now, I am supporting her weight alone.I stared at her tear-stained, sleeping face. She still looks like an angel but something about her really seems off. She's somehow... she's somehow paler than usual.My heart started to race the moment I realized that her body temperature isn't normal. I carried her then ran through the hallway on our way to the infirmary.I sat next to her while she's asleep.

He then started laughing like a psychopath while my mom was barely standing a few feet away from us.I can't see the point why they're doing this. I can't see why they love hurting each other. I wonder, does marriage really work? Or is there really such thing called a family.I bowed my head then started laughing while my tears were falling from my eyes. I can feel my dad looking at me in disgust as his grip on my hair tightened. Argh! I feel like I am going to grow bald.I slowly lifted my head. "Is it fun, dad? Does it satisfy you, dad?" I asked.His face crumpled like paper. Anger and disgust were visible in his eyes. He clicked his tongue angrily then knocked my head on the wall."No!""Shut the fuck up!"My vision started to get blurry. I can feel hot sticky liquid rolling down my cheeks other than my tears. I chuckled at the back of my head when I smelled the scent of blood."No! My son."I can see my mom screaming but I was unable to hear anything. She was tapping my cheeks but

"You're going to marry Cleandra Alonso after college. It's settled."It rang in my head for a couple of times. It's echoing in my ear as I drop my silverware on my plate."Say that again?" I uttered, forcing myself not to stutter.Dad sighed. "An old friend of mine needs help. They helped us when our company is in verge of falling. Now, it's our turn to do the same. You have to marry their daughter Cleandra Alonso. I believe you're friends, am I right?""Yeah, we're friends," I replied. I lifted my gaze and met his eyes. "What if I don't want to marry her?""You'll marry her whether you like it or not, Exiquel," He said while looking at me with a blank expression.I laughed at the back of my mind even though I maintained a blank expression."Okay," I muttered then stood up. "I'm done eating."I turned my back and set them aside even if they're calling my name for several times.I sat by the door of my room then leaned on it."Cleandra," I mumbled. "Why do I have to marry you? Can I ju

I pouted. "I really wonder how the both of you passes every subject." I mumbled under my breath."We're actually wondering how you do that too. You're one of a lazy student as well," She rolled her eyes. "And to answer your question, Clea passes because of me and I pass my subjects because of stock knowledge.""Really? Really?""Yep," She reaplied, emphasizing the sound of the letter P."You're being so arrogant," I said which made her laugh."Am I? It's the fact, though," She winked at me.I was suddenly astounded because of that wink. She looks pretty h... damn it, Quel!"We're going to be college students in the next three months," She uttered. "What course are you planning to take?" She asked."Probably Architecture," I replied."It suits you.""How about you, Jha?"She held her chin and glanced at the ceiling as if the answer is written up there.It took her almost ten seconds before she responded with a little smile."BS Accountancy."It took me a while to get back to my senses

It's her birthday today.I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number. Apparently, she dropped the first call."Why did you ended the call, Alonso?" I asked while pouting.[Because you were saying nonsense things again, Saavedra.] She said in a mocking tone. I pouted even more. [Quel? Are you still there?] She asked when I didn't respond to what she said."You're with your family?" I asked after hearing a soft pur. She might be with her family and I might be disturbing their celebration.And I wanted to ask her about Clea too. Uhm... maybe some other time.[Nope,] She emphasized the sound of 'P'. [Why?]"I can hear the silent purring of a vehicle. Where are you going?" I asked in confusionShe's alone. She's alone and she's not used to commute.[I'm going on an important appointment.] My forehead creased. Something important? [Why are you asking?]I sighed. I might be worrying for nothing so instead of asking for further information, I shifted to my agenda. "Can you visit Da
