Cinyla's POVI rested at home for almost two days, Mommy always prepared food for me and even took care of me. I looked at the big clock on the side of my table, it was almost lunchtime.While I was looking around, feeling the silence, someone suddenly knocked on my door. It was three knocks before I spoke."Come in," I said.My door opened, and it wasn't Mommy who knocked but he, my Father. This time, he appeared without a mask. Carrying the tray of my food and drinking water."Good afternoon, Cinyla. Eat now, I hope you'll be fine. Your Mommy left, so I brought it." I didn't even ask, but she said why she brought it, where is Mommy going to go? this time, it's hot outside."Thank you, where is he going?" I asked coldly."We're just going to buy something to eat later, I said I'd go out alone but he insisted that he be the only one. Alright son, eat now. I'm going to go."He put my food on the table, I didn't say anything because he seemed to feel the coldness of my treatment of him.
BenChua's POVAll of them make me stupid. "Damn!"Even if I am not in the mood, I go straight to my VenZua Bar, one of the bars I stumbled upon last year. I'm just going to visit today, not to get to know someone and have fun but to forget what happened. "I hate him! Why did he come back? Why now?" I drove fast while cursing him in my mind. “Damn! Still traffic!” Until my phone rings.I didn't pay attention to that but I put down a bottle of vodka I got at the condo, I didn't want to go to sleep so it was better to go somewhere I knew I could forget somehow. It took me almost half an hour because even though it was late at night, I was still caught up in heavy traffic. Traffic in the Philippines is different. I parked the car and went straight to Venzua Bar. It's not just a bar because it's a 4 store building and anyone can enter as long as they can pay. After all, this is part of business. After I passed the entrance, two muscular men met me. They greeted me and I just smiled, t
Cinyla's POVSunday was passed, and I can say that I somehow got a thorn out of my chest. After Ben and I talked, I decided to distance myself from him. My dad is not here in our house, wherever he is. I don't know, but Mommy said he is at the Saint Louis Hospital in Batangas.I sighed, walked around the balcony, and watched the sky. I hope soon, everything will be fine.Until someone called my name. "Cinyla, can I talk to you?" a familiar voice. It is sharp and close to my heart.I turned to where the voice came from. "Oh Mom, you're here. Yes, let's talk downstairs." She smiled and said, "Alright. We'll just wait for you downstairs." I just nodded even though I was wondering why he said our words, maybe he was with someone else. Who is that?I fix myself and go downstairs.While I'm on my way, I see someone that makes me nervous.I didn't expect that he would go, but as I approached him, I tried to calm down and act as normal. I noticed that he is more fine right now, he is wearing a
The world is not fair. Often, in the end, what we want doesn't happen. Like me, I thought that our family would be rebuilt and that my distance from Ben was the key to everything; forgetting and rebuilding oneself is a mistake because, in the end, everything is just a puzzle. On the other hand, I will still try to find peace and stay away from the person who caused me to be broken.I was dumbfounded looking at Daddy's photo, I didn't think that everything would lead to saying goodbye. There was a second chance, but it also seemed like nothing.I was standing at our table and I saw the picture of me and Daddy, this is the most special day for me. "Daddy, it's been almost a month since you disappeared, I haven't even spoken to Ben and your partner Ms. Talia, his conscience couldn't take it. It's sad, but a few days after you were buried, he in the mental hospital. Dad, I thought we would be fine, I thought it would be more painful." I rubbed the photo that I still had, the photo of me a
Cinyla's POV I am busy cleaning the house when someone's doorbell is on our gate." Cinyla, open it first, maybe my guest is already there," my mom said from the kitchen, while I am in the living room sweeping. "Yes mommy," I replied. I finished sweeping first because it was so close and put it aside. Because it's still morning but my mom has a visitor right away. I don't know who is that, maybe our near relatives. Sh*t "Good morning milady," a handsome man in front of me said sweetly. His skin is white and his height is tall. He has a dimple on both sides of his cheek so when he smiles, every woman can adore him. But all of that is just a weird imagination. Stop thinking, Cinyla."Good morning too. Who are you? I said with a smile. Maybe he just got lost in our village but my mom said he is a guest here, or maybe he is our relative or my mom's friend of mine. "Oh, there you are, BenChua. Just come inside, I have already cooked our lunch. Kindly join us!" she said happily. "Ciny
Cinyla's POV I woke up because of the loud growl I was letting out. "Ugh! That's enough!" "Uhm..." my weak moan. Until I finally woke up because it was all a dream. Thanks, God! Honestly, I am so tired and annoyed yesterday, I forgot to eat dinner because I don't want to talk with him, rather I choose to rest in my room. Besides, I can't contact my boyfriend so I probably keep myself calm down and I sleep early. Until I thought of getting up and cleaning my bedroom. I feel hungry, so I do nothing but go out to my room. I'm starving, hays! It's up to me not to pay attention to him. Even though there is a part of me that becomes proud, I chose to just swallow it, I'm simply wearing it now, simple pajamas and a t-shirt. As I comb my long hair, suddenly there was a knock on my door. I let go of who it was because I was about to finish combing, and maybe it was just my mother. But there was no voice and at the last knock, I approached the door. And I didn't expect what I see, it was
Cinyla's POV UGH! I can't concentrate on what I'm doing right now. He is annoying and that man has been confusing my mind since he entered our house. In addition, my heart was beating faster, as if horses were running at high speed. I was caught in my heart. "Heart, can you please calm down first? I know you're just shocked but he doesn't suit you!" My mind screamed. I just chose to pick up my guitar. It's Saturday so I don't have a job because the office is often only open from Monday to Friday. I sit in my favorite red chair near my working and study area, touched it first, and thought of something to sing. I love music and when I'm not doing anything I play, or I often choose to write songs just for fun. I also didn't fulfill my dream then, since my father passed away, I chose to just claim my talent. It's sad but how do I get started? If on the very day I pursue my plans I have lost my special supporter and inspiration —my father. I stopped strumming and put in it a bag. I sa
Cinyla's POVI almost could wash my face using my hand because I am totally confused about what happened last night. I suddenly let go of the handkerchief I was holding. I don't know why he has a handkerchief with my dad's last name. I was almost depressed by what I thought but maybe he just bought it somewhere with the same last name as me. I just chose not to say anything and just keep quiet. I lay down on my bed and rested. I'm just thinking too much about what- I woke up to a series of knocking and calling my name. Instead of getting up, I chose to just cover my ears with a pillow. Who is knocking at this time? I looked at what time it was and noticed that it was past ten o'clock at night. But, BenChua didn't seem to be leaving, so even though he broke my sleep I just got up and opened the door for him. A tight hug I immediately received, I was not on my own at those times and to my shock, I pushed him suddenly and hard. "S-Sorry...Why are you hugging all of a sudden? You've a
