TAMING THE FEELINGS

TAMING THE FEELINGS

He trailed his hand down her face as it flushed instantly, emotions that seemed uncontrolled blooming out. "I love you. You know that right?", he asked, his eyes looking as convincing as ever, as he stared at the naive and lovesick teenage girl in front of him. " I...," she could not make out her words as her legs turned into jelly, making her lean gently on him. "I love you too," she managed to say, and those were the words he needed.

You Are Just A Mistake

You Are Just A Mistake

"You are not my child. "You don't belong in this family! "trash!" "Gross!" "What a disappointment!" "Ugly and trash!" "You're disgusting!" "You don't belong in this school, b*tch!" I let out a deep sigh as I recalled the hurtful words they hurled at me. Whether at home or school, it was the same—nothing but pain was brought upon me. "Why is the world so unfair to me?" This was the question I always asked God. Why was I born into this world only to suffer? All I wanted was to be loved—to be happy—so why does it seem like everything is denied to me? I don't understand why it feels like the world is playing a cruel trick on me, intentionally keeping me from getting what I desire. I sighed again. "I hope in my next life, I will be happy." I forced a smile, hiding the deep pain that lingered within me. I could never have imagined that everyone would be so cruel to me, that I would experience such hardship. I placed my hands on the concrete while gazing at the vast surroundings and the students scattered around. I had been sitting here on the railing of our school building's rooftop for some time. This is where I come whenever I'm sad or when everyone bullies me. I sighed once more and looked up at the sky. "Lord, was I a bad person in my past life? Because the world is so cruel to me." Was I truly bad? Or is it just the people around me who are? No one treated me well. Everyone hates me. I have no friends or even anyone I can call 'family.' Do I deserve to live in this world? I placed my hands on the concrete again to support myself as I stood up. "I'm tired of everything. I want this to end." I looked down. My knees trembled as I realized how high up I was. If I fall from here, I will surely leave this world forever. "Maybe if I die, they will be happy," I whispered sadly as I closed my eyes, recalling the faces of all those who caused me so much pain. Tears streamed from my eyes. I felt trapped in a never-ending cycle of torment, reliving the painful experiences over and over again. I've had enough. I'm tired. Maybe it's time to rest... forever. "To end this pain is to finish everything," I whispered again, opening my eyes and slowly stepping onto the edge of the railing. "Goodby—" I was about to fall when suddenly someone forcefully grabbed my hand, causing me to land on top of someone's body. I recognized the familiar scent of his perfume. I quickly stood up as I realized who it was. It's him again... The guy who became my tormentor, making my life even more miserable. "You should have just let me go. Isn't that what you—and everyone—want? For me to disappear from this world," I said lifelessly. His face remained blank, showing no emotion as he looked at me. "Tsk!" I was startled when he suddenly closed the distance between us and spoke coldly into my ear, "If you want to die, wait for me to be the one... to end your life." Then, he immediately turned his back on me. I don't know why, but a surge of intense anger suddenly welled up in my heart because of what he said. The sadness I felt moments ago was instantly replaced with rage. My face suddenly became devoid of emotion. "Oh, is that so?" I said, colder than ice, which made him stop walking. "Alright," I continued, quickly removing my heeled shoe and throwing it at him with all my might, hitting him squarely on the head. I quickly walked toward him and confronted his shocked face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to," I said, cold as ice, but dripping with sarcasm. After saying that, I picked up my shoe and swiftly turned my back on him.

Chasing the Bliss

Chasing the Bliss

"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy." Nightbird The cold wind blows against my face as I read this quote. I gently tucked my hair to the side to keep it from blowing away in the wind. I hugged myself and looked at the beautiful sky. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. This time I'll choose to follow my heart. I've been running away for almost 5 years and now I've decided to be strong enough to face my past, not for me, but for my little ones. I don't know what's waiting for me, but for them I will lay down all the cards that I have. "Mommy" I opened my eyes and saw Octavia, one of my twin children, running towards me. "Hi, there my little pumpkin" I carried him inside the unit because it was too cold on the balcony of our unit. "Is it true? Is it true?" he eagerly asked me while holding both of my cheeks "What is it baby?" I laughed at this question "We're going to your hometown!" she giggled excitedly "Dada Calyx said we're going to the Philippines" Lincoln suddenly came out of the kitchen followed by Calyx I narrowed my eyes at Calyx because she took the lead in telling the kids again. I sat on a long sofa and held my four-year-old twins. Octavia's eyes are full of excitement while Lincoln's face seems he doesn't like the idea. "I think it's time to go back. I let you see where I grow up" I happily said here "We'll be able to see Daddy, Mommy?" Octavia's eyes lit up at her question while Lincoln waited for me to answer. "Hmmm, I'm not sure baby but Mommy will try my best to look for him, okay?" "Okay, Mommy" the twins answered at the same time before planting a kiss on my cheek. "I'm gonna pack my things now" Lincoln got off my lap first. "I'll come brother" Octavia called here Lincoln stopped and waited for his brother. He holds his sister's hand as they go to their room. I smiled as I saw my son's gesture. "Are you really going to find Hugo?" Calyx suddenly asked me Calyx Estrada, the man who never left my side since I gave birth to the twins. He's my closest friend/bodyguard for almost 5 years. "Maybe? Calyx, I'm still hesitating. What if he rejects the twins? I don't think I can. I can't see their hearts being shattered into pieces" "Yeah, that's my worry too" he sighed before looking at me again. "Are you sure about this? Won't you change your mind?" "I'm tired of running away. It's probably safe to go back to the Philippines. There haven't been any movements lately, right? And how can I take care of what Mommy and Daddy left for me if I'm not there? I think this is the best plan" "I'm not comfortable with your decision but I'll stand by your side. I also have something to go back to the Philippines" and he sniffled and tried to suppress his smile "You're just thinking that you're excited. Are you still in love? It's been a while" and poked her side "Do you still love me?" I was stunned when he returned the question to me. Do I still love you? Yes, it's not lost. Still here. Every time I hear or read his name, my heart still skips a beat. He is still the reason for its disappearance. "It doesn't matter" and just shrugged. I've been living here in the States for 5 years now. I was forced to leave the Philippines because of threats to our lives. My parents got involved with the syndicate. They borrowed a huge amount of money and they didn't pay, so they hunted them down and eventually were killed. I am an only child and because I was the only one left, I was the one who was searched for and it was broken news that my parents left me a large sum of money but I can only get it at the age of 26. My uncle and my cousins ​​secured my life and the twins. Calyx help them out. I may not have the father of the twins by my side but the men in my life stood as their father. Now, I'm tired of running away. I want my hiding to end because I also want my children to have a good life. It's not that I always move them to different places because of the fear that the killers of my parents will find us. Once I get the money I will pay off my parents' debt. I don't know if that will be enough, but I am ready to help my relatives to build it. I just really wanted to start a new life without fears and worries, not only for me, but for my beautiful children. I held my son's hands as we walked in NAIA. "Dada Primo" Octavia shouted and ran to my cousin. Brother Boaz and Brother Pierce also got out of the car next. "Dadas" Octavia excitedly kissed the cheek of my male cousins ​​while they stopped her "My son is very soft" I said to them "It's because our Octavia is so cute," O giggled when Brother Primo tickled her a little "Hi L, don't you miss your dadas?" Brother Boaz asked my son "We just video called earlier, Dada" he said rudely My cousins ​​came close to me and hugged me tightly. "That L is an inheritance from the inheritance. He looks like he still has a habit" said brother Primo with a laugh "Let me get my baby boy" said Brother Pie
