Chapter 1 | Welcome back bad luck

     ANO-ANO bang misyon ng mga tao sa dito sa earth? Sabi, kaya daw tayo na bubuhay at huminga pa ay dahil may dahilan? Eh punyeta.

Ano naman kayang dahilan 'yon? Eto bang buhay ko na meron ako? Masasabi ko bang misyon? Mag mahal ng lalakeng may minamahal na? Makasira ng relasyon? Na buong buhay kong hindi pinangarap?

"Ri naman! Ano ba girl? Hobbies muna talaga umangkas? Paninindigan mo 'na yang pagiging martyr mo? Ano to! Forever suno-sunuran?"

Chielska Dela Cruz the most stentorian woman i had ever met. My bestfriend. I lazily stared at her, giving her a 'manahik ka kung hindi isusungalngal ko 'tong pastry bread sa bibig mo' look. She's stress because of me, and i totally understand. Tumingin ako sa mga kasabayan namin dito sa loob ng isang coffee shop. Mabuti na lang at medyo malayo ang puwesto namin. Once again i stared back at the micromouth of my bestfriend and give her a glaring gaze.

"Zipper that mouth will you?" I continue sipping my hot cappuccino latte.

I winced in shock when Chielska pinched my waist.
Muli ko siyang binigyan ng makahulugang titig.

"Sinabihan na talaga kita,"

I almost rolled my eyes. "Sinabihan na ano?"

"Na, bumalik kana sa state! Ipagpatuloy mo ang maganda mo'ng kinabukasan doon! Hindi ka 'ba nanghihinayang sa maraming opurtunidad?! Ang tigas ng bungo mo!" Oh please, here we go again. heto Sermon stage?

"Wala..... akong.... balak bumalik ng london." I have no plans. Kahit gaano kaimportante ang mga naiwan ko roon. Narito parin ang mas importante at pinaka-mahalaga sa lahat, nandito parin sa bansang 'to.

Narinig ko ang singhal ng kaibigan. "Tigil tigil mo ako Prairie. Ako ha? Hindi ako kunsintidor riyan saka martyran mo. If i would be honest? Ayaw ko sa ginagawa mo. This is wrong maling-mali ang—"

"Chielska." I stopped her halfway, "You are aware, right? How much i love that man, i'm bound to risk it all even if it means to destroy my vocabulary. Alam na alam mo 'yon." I said, instantly defend myself, interrupting those pithiness. "Nandon ka." saksi siya. Yes, i understand her, Chielska's blunt, she's just being concern. And i value her for that. But that doesn't mean she can criticize me because of a man. I hope she could validate my feelings too.

Simula college alam na alam niya kong paano ako naging tanga tanghan pag-dating sa taong iyon. High school, freshmen student pa 'lang aware na s'yang baliw ako sa nagiisang Dominic Hookien Salvatore. I did everything to make sure i can own him. Lahat, sobra, buo, grabe, todo. Para mapansin lang ang isang tulad ko. It all started, noong niligtas ako nito sa isang field-trip accident. Trahedyang muntik ko ng ikamatay dati. Dumating siya. He saves me. His my guardian angel, my savior, my knight. I owe him. And beforehand i've already owe my life to him. I did everything just to make him notice someone like me. Thought i have never swear that every inch of years i'll become more obsessed over him. After all his my hero. My knight in shining armor. I'd even build toxic audacity of being a self-proclaimed. Did embarrassing attempts that could lead him to take advantage the situation.

Then... One day i woke up. He finally find-out my uppermost attraction. We turn in college and on that moment, i decide to bravely confess my affection towards him. I can't bare witnessing him with a girl walking around in campus. It's a plain torture. I am in love. Thankfully, what i did graciously favors my dream. We ended up together in college. However, just like an romance cliche novel, everything went off, dark. Like a usual love story shittass plot in all film.
