Anthology

took a faithful leap

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Also, happy 4th birthday to The Spaces in Between yay! <3

Here's a little something for you guys. Naisulat ko 'to last year habang pinapractice ko ang  pagsusulat sa POV ni Andreau for Come On, Collide ( na malapit ko na ulit i-update haha). Marami kasing humihirit sa 'kin ng TSIB Book 2 kaso...nah. I like how I ended the story already, bakit pa ba natin pahihirapan pa sina Andreau at Zade, 'di ba? Gusto ko lang sabihin na from now on, hindi na po ako gagawa ng sequels sa mga susunod kong kwento rito sa Wattpad. Huli na po ang This Might End Up A Story. (At hindi naman considered na sequel ng TSIB ang Come On, Collide so chill haha). Alam kong may madi-disappoint na iba sa inyo pero nah, ayoko na talagang gumawa ng sequels. Ficlets are okay, though. Just like this one :)

SO! Here's a post-TSIB ficlet for AZ's 4th birthday! This happened between TSIB's last chapter and after the epilogue. Some AZ relationship milestone thing for all of you. Sana magustuhan niyo kasi shet, namimiss kong isulat sila nang ganito. Every week naman akong nagsusulat ng AZ snippets pero pang-alternate universe lagi haha kaya masaya akong nabalikan ko ang TSIB canon for this anniv fic.

ENJOY! :)

"So, kamusta na kayo ni Zades?" Dan asked him one night during a rare post-workout dinner. Since he had started taping his new teleserye three weeks ago, ngayon lang ulit sila nagkasabay sa gym ni Roldan. "Any new stuff to share? Any developments?"

"We're good. Thanks for asking." That's the truth. It's been almost three months since they officially together together, and they were happier than ever. Minsan nga, hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Andreau na mahal din siya ni Zade, na hindi panaginip ang lahat ng nangyari sa kanila for the past few months.

"Yun lang?" Dan exclaimed in disappointment. He finished off his tacos before bombarding him with questions. "Wala kang isi-share sa 'kin na details? Imposible. Meron yan."

"Wala nga."

"I'm your best friend."

"I'm reconsidering our friendship if you ask more stupid questions."

"My questions are not stupid. I should know stuff. You should tell me stuff," Dan insisted.

"Saan ba papunta 'tong usapan na 'to, Dan?"

Dan sighed. "Okay? Gusto mo straight to the point? Sige. May nangyari na ba sa inyo ni Za--"

"Roldan." Andreau warned. I really walked into that, huh? He'd mentally slapped himself. Of course, yan ang gustong malaman ng best friend niya. Ganitong-ganito rin si Dan kay Lee noong bago pa lang sila ni Anya. He shouldn't be this surprised at these questions anymore...but still. Eyeing his annoying best friend (and might soon to be former one if he kept asking these questions), he said, "Have you been talking to Kesh?"

"Maybe. I dunno. I haven't seen her for a week."

A total lie. He knew Dan has been spending more time with Kesh lately. Much to Mars' dismay, the two are just friends and actually, Dan's playing the matchmaker between Kesh and Serge, his officemate. According to Zade's latest update, the second date went well and Kesh seemed pretty much enamored with the guy.

"Nasa Instagram story ka niya kahapon. Care to explain that?"

Dan rolled his eyes. "Oo na. Kinuha ko lang 'yong documents na pinakuha ko sa kanya sa registrar. At...may nakwento nga siya sa 'kin.
