"Te amo. Tu es mea sors," Ash uttered.
"Etiam te amo," she replied.
Asher's Point of View
I don't care about the people around me. I'm ignoring them and snabbing them. I just don't feel comfortable talking to people. They said that I'm a lonely guy who has no friends and is rude. They also said that no one will ever dare to love me. Well, who cares about shit that they are talking about me? But one day, in a snap, everything changes. There's this girl who caught my attention, and suddenly I want her to be my friend, to be with her . I don't know why or what's wrong with me, but I have a huge desire to know her and have intimacy with her. What's happening to me?
She seems quiet and mysterious. She has a cold and strong aura that adds to her beautiful features. Something about her is driving me insane, I can't figure it out. The fuck is wrong with me.
I bravely walk toward her.
"Hi, excuse me. May I know your name?" I asked.
"I'm Bianca. What do you want?" she said, rolling her eyes.
"I know you will find it weird but it seems that someone or something is bothering you. I just want to know, is there any problem?" I asked, wanting to start a conversation.
"Who the hell are you? And why do you care? It's none of your business, mister. What a creep," she said irratably and walked away.
I've been thinking of her all night. I can't get her out of my mind. Shit, I'm losing my mind.
"Mukhang may bumabagabag sa isip ng alaga ko ah? Is that your mom, Asher?" bigla nalang sumulpot si nanny— katulong namin.
"It's not mom, nanny. It's a girl, and I can't get it out of my mind," I said and her face was flushed with surprise.
"Wow, anak. Kaibigan mo ba yan o baka naman pumapag-ibig ka na?" she said teasingly. I kept silent. I'm tired of arguments about my 'love life.'
She just put milk on my desk and said, "Matulog ka na, 'nak. Maaga ka pa bukas."
I nodded, and she left.
Bianca's Point of View
I miss him so much. I want to hug him, but damn I can't. My tears gradually went down.
I had a boyfriend back then. His family and my family were against our relationship, but we continue to fight together because that's love. We were meant for each other, but just so I thought.
Flash Back
Madilim na, at sobrang sakit ng sinabi ng mommy ni Ash. Dumagdag pa 'yong pamilya ko, stating nonsense but mostly shit about me and Ash. Kailan ba matatapos ang kalbaryong ito? Sawang sawa na ko.
I decided to go to my friend's bar. I'm only fifteen, pero pinapasok pa rin ako. Ofc, iba talaga kapag may koneksyon, because that's life. Sometimes all we need are connections to do what we want.
I sat on VIP and ordered hard drinks that were unfamiliar to me.
Hindi ko alam ang mga lasa non at ngayon ko palang nakita ang mga alak na 'yon. Ang pinaka-favorite ko is 'yong long island. It just tastes like iced tea but has a high alcohol percentage.
Uubusin ko 'tong mag-isa, ayoko ng kasama. Ngayon lang ako iinom ng ganito, and I don't care 'cause nobody cares. Uminom lang ako nang uminom pero bakit ganon, hindi naman nababawasan ang sakit. Fake yata itong mga inumin na 'to.
Biglang nagvibrate ang phone ko.
I just answered it. "Bakit ba?" I annoyingly asked.
'Hi, love. Where are you? Did mom say things to you again?' he asked.
