Chapter 6

My eyes widened and my heart beat once again, but this beat is not what I feel lately when my life is on the verge of danger; it is a gentle beat, and it even became faster the moment our eyes met once again.

“Huwag kang magtanong, hindi na sa magandang kondisyon ang ‘iyong paa,” he said and take a step towards the gate where I went out.

“Sino ang babaeng ‘yan?” I look at a group of young women who looked at us, whispering to one another. “Kanyang kasintahan?”

They immediately turned their heads away the moment they saw that I had been looking at them; they were still murmuring to one another, kilig na kilig.

“Tumahimik ka, naririnig tayo ng kanyang kasintahan,” whispered the young woman with them.

Me? Kasintahan? To whom? To this man? I don't even know him!

Papalapit na kami sa gate but his hands still hold my body tightly, pressing myself towards his body. He is now currently wearing a loose white shirt na pinagtitilian ang mga dalaga sa kilid.

“Joaquin…” he stopped walking and turned to the man who called him. A middle-aged man approached us. He was with the man na muntik na ako mapatay since he could not control his horse. “Ako ay personal na humihingi ng paumanhin sa panganib na dinala ng aking pamangkin.”

“‘Wag niyo nang isipin, ang mahalaga, walang buhay ang napunta sa panganib,” he said, curving his lips to smile at him.

“Sana mapatawad ako ng iyong kasintahan sa kaba na kanyang nararamdaman,” he looked at me and smiled but I only raised my eyebrow, making him change his expression. He just suddenly shivers. “P-paumanhin, binibini…”

Why does everybody think that I am his girlfriend?

Chapter 5

well-shaped and well-build but not like those bulky body, katamtaman ang laki ng muscles ng katawan nito and the sweat that flows in his body even added to the hotness na pinapakita nito.

He cleans his throat, “B-binibini…” He breaks eye contact while wrapping his arms over his torso as though to cover it. He saw that I was examining his physique, then? I can feel his body slowly becoming controlled by shyness. He even glances at me frequently to make sure I'm not staring at him anymore, but I'm still captivated by his physique.

Everyone's whispering to each other again, I can hear.

I reach out and put my hand on his chest, squeezing it.

“BINIBINI!”

Chapter 4

The moment I stretch out my hands, bigla nalang lumakas ang lindol, more books fall from their shelves on where I am at biglang napahiga sa sahig. I feel like losing an entire amount of my energy while laying on the floor, I cannot clearly see my surroundings, nanlalabo na ang aking paningin while still hearing the calling of my name.

I can't breathe properly, my energy is losing, and I cannot move my body due to the amount of books with various sizes dropped on my body. My sight is not in good condition, kusa na lang ito pumikit. Gusto kong matulog. 

I can still hear someone calling me but it is no longer calling my name, I can also hear some murmur of the people within this area. My eyes are still closed and I can hear how that person moved the debris that made me unable to move.

A gentle touch to my body at paunti-unti akong pinaupo habang nakasandal sa kanyang mga kamay, so warm and I can hear the beating heart of that person, it pump so fast along with its deep breath.

“Binibini?”

Chapter 3

Hindi lahat ng students na sa library ay nag-aaral, kadalasan nagpapalamig.

I stumble upon this new staff that unknowingly drops an old piece of book. By its look, I can see how frigail it is once it is not held with great care, kulay yellow na din ang papel na sa loob nito, and I saw a hand writing on it.

I opened the book and the hand writing in the paper is cursive but elegance is still within how the writer wrote this.

I sniffed it and whispered, “Amoy nakaraan.”

Due to the book’s old age, the design of the cover page has faded, there are even damages on the corners of the front page, and the pages aren’t binded into one another anymore.

“A…” I rub my thumb on the insignia, though the ink isn't visible within my gaze, but the skin of my thumb feels it.

I move my eyes to look around before carefully hiding the book behind my bag. I move around the library to look for a better place to read what is inside of the book and that new staff that forget this cannot be seen within my vision. Hindi pa nga nangyayari but I know that staff will be scolded by the head librarian.

Chapter 2

There was this time that he left me in the park while Mom was buying an ice cream for us, Mom was screaming out of her lungs, my Dad have to escape his workload for a while to help her look for me but what my brother did was told my parents that I am the one who walk away from him that time.

He told Mom and Dad a different story that led to my punishment which I won’t be able to leave my room for three days and one of our maids is the one that brought food inside my room. Even though that was my punishment, I kinda like it. The silence in my room calms my heart, like I’m in the middle of the forest where all I can hear is the sound of nature.

“Francisca Isabella!” I can hear how the car immediately stops by stepping on the break. “Why are you still here? The last time I remembered our class began almost an hour ago!”

“It’s Francine, Carmela… and you’re still here.” I walk toward her car and open the door, luckily she’s not yet in school. I take a seat and place the seatbelt on my body while my bag is sitting on my lap.

“Did your brother ditched you? Again?” I nodded. “And let me guest…” she starts the engine and drives towards our school. “He chose his best friend over you? Huh?”

“Carmela, you already know the answer to your question. Just do something bad to my brother later.” I looked at her, I could see on her face that she wanted to hear more. “We can go to starbucks after that.”

“That’s what I’m waiting for. Do you want something terrible that can embarrass him to the entire school?” She moved the steering wheel to the other direction, which is not the way to our school, what is this woman up to now?

“Where are we going?”

“Starbucks… duhhh, it’s coffee. Essential.”

Chapter 1

Halos nangbingi ako sa mga sinasabi niya, Mom always care what I will show to everyone, kung maganda o hindi ba ang ugaling pinapakita ko, ang respeto na binibigay but she cannot even do that to her own daughter.

Unconsciously my tears fell from my face, the only time I felt it was after it dropped from my face. I cannot hear anything from what my mother keeps saying to my father, even my brother joined their argument but his hands hold tightly on my arms.

“Mom, enough! Perho pa rin ang mangyayari, Isa will always be at her fault!” kuya shouted.

I grip my hands as firmly as I can, take a deep breath, close my eyes, and cover my ears by my palms.

“Shut the hell up!” I looked at my mother, taking courage by gripping my own hands. “How can you say that? Puro nalang kung anong sasabihin ng tao sa’yo ang inaalala mo! Have you ever asked me what I felt sa mga sinasabi nila? Diba hindi?! Cause you never asked if I am okay or not! You only care sa image mo sa kanila but even a single question if I’m okay ay wala akong natanggap!”

Aside from her relatives, she doesn't have close relationships with her parents and prefers to isolate herself from them.

Hi, I'm Ryce, and I am creating stories on Wattpad under the username rjoisu (wattpad.com/rjoisu). I am not at my best yet; my writing has errors when it comes to grammar, and I may not clearly express what my characters wanted to express, but I am open to improvement. Will always accept improvement. Thank you for reading.

I might never be a notable writer and I might never get a huge book deal and my books might never get turned into movies but who cares? I've found absolute paradise sitting on my porch in the rain weaving words together and feeling the cool wind of an august storm on my face. No failure could ever take this sort of joy away from me.
