Serina, a well-known runway and fashion model who is also a third-year AB Communications student at the ADMU, cross paths one night with a very reclusive and enigmatic licensed pilot who is also suffering heartbreak.
Are each others broken hearts wh...
Nagising ako sa sobrang ingay. Pagmulat ko ng mga mata ko, nakita ko agad na ang daming tao sa room. Buti na lang at private room ito, at hindi makaka abala ng ibang patients yung mga to.
Medyo masakit yung ulo ko kaya dahan dahan akong umupo sa kama. Inalalayan naman ako ni Amara at Wynter.
"Serina, buti naman at nagising ka na. Alam mo bang sobrang nag-alala talaga kami." sabi ni Amara.
"Tell us, ano bang nangyare! Muntik na ako atakihin sa puso nung sinabi ni Uno na dinala daw dito." sabi naman ni Wynter.
I honestly, don't know how to answer them. Hindi ko alam paano magsisimula, hindi ko alam paano sasabihin lahat. Or kung dapat ko bang sabihin yung mga yon. Lalo na yung muntik ko nang magawa kagabi.
"Seraphim. Did he knew about this already?" yun na lang lumabas sa bibig ko.
"No. We haven't tell your brothers yet." sabi ni Wynter.
"But Seraphim, kanina niya pa ako tinatadtad ng message." sabi naman ni Uno. He even show me my brother's messages.

"Tell him that I'm fine and stop bothering...M— That guy." sabi ko at tumango na lang si Uno.
"Ano ba talagang balak mong gawin, Serina?" Amara asked, she's about to cry now.
"I don't know, pero... p-pwede bang umuwi na kayo at iwan ako." Cold na sabi ko. Hindi ako makatingin sa mata nila.
"My God, Serina. Ano bang nangyayare sayo? Lahat kami na andito nangaalala sayo. Kung wala kang pakialam sa nararamdaman namin, sana naman isipin mo yung pamilya mo, yung mga kapatid mo. Serina, you almost kill yourself! What the fuck!" Shiloh said, crying. Shiloh is my childhood friend but his is only the second time I saw him crying so much. Last time was when he lost his grandma.
Was his concern genuine?
I'm tired of people taking advantage of me and pretending to be my friend. I'm so done of trying to meet my parents' expectations.
I'm exhausted from doing the things I don't want to do in the first place.
I'm so drained of lies.
I despise the fact that they only remember me in their lows and forget me in their highs.
I'm sick of people flattering me on my face and pretending to smile at me. But they keep gossiping about me behind my back.
These spotlights irritate me. And if I could recreate my life, I would be a bit courageous and not let my mom and dad make decisions for me and my dreams. Because I do not demand for all of these things. I would not choose to have everyone's attention on me. I'd rather live a normal life than work in the frantic world of show business.
I am slowly losing the purpose of my existence.
"I just want to be alone." sabi ko, pinipilit kong wag kaiyak sa harapan nila. Kasi hindi ito yung Serina na kilala nila. At hindi nila pwede malaman tong side ko na ito, ayoko na maging problema pa ako ng ibang tao.
"We want to help you, Serina. Please let us help you. We love you so much. Please, babe." Wynter said, and hugged me. She's crying. Nakita ko sa mag gilid yung kakambal niya naka tingin sa amin naka crossed arms at seryoso ang mukha.
"Stop crying. Just go. Please, everyone. Let me rest first, give me some time first. This whole shit, sucks. Please kahit ngayon lang hayaan niyo muna ako" sagot ko habang hindi naka tingin sa kanila.
I am pushing them away, but a small part of me is hoping that someone would stay here next to me.
Kasi sa totoo lang natatakot ako na kapag umalis sila, baka hindi na sila bumalik sa akin.
"Fuck, Serina! Hindi mo kaylangan sarilihin 'to lahat, pero kung ito ang gusto mo, fine." pasigaw na sabi ni Wynter. Lumabas na siya ng kwarto kaya sinundan siya nila Amara.
Isa isa silang umalis. Kahit pati si Uno.
Pero si Wynn hindi siya umalis.
"What are you still doing here?"
"You don't mean it."
"What?" I raised my eyebrow.
"That you want to be alone." sabi niya. Napatingin ako sa kanya. Sobrang seryoso ng mukha niya.
"And paano mo naman nalaman yon? Bakit manghuhula ka ba? Tska bakit ka pa ba andito?"
"Ang dali mo kasing basahin." sabi niya.
"You're weird." I said.
"At least hindi ko tinutulak yung mga taong mahal ako, " seryoso niyang sabi habang nakatingin sa mga mata ko.
"You don't know anything about me, so stop making comments...."
"Then tell everything to me."
I laughed. "Seriously?"
"Yes, after all, we're strangers. And hindi na tayo ulit magkikita after nito. Diba sabi nga nila mas okay na mag-open up sa hindi mo ka-close?"
Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya. Parang okay lang naman kung magk-kwento nga ako sa kanya. Hindi na naman kami magkikita ulit 'eh.
