She loved him silently for years. When she learned he loved someone else, she made the cruelest choice, she asked his mother to arrange their marriage just to stay close to him.
The man she loved then discovered that she was the one behind.
He never forgave her.
Their marriage was cold, loveless. The boy who once made her laugh now made her flinch. His words cut. His hands bruised. But she stayed because she loved him, even if it hurt.
Then one day, she saw it. His girl, kissing him. Her world crumbled. Through tears, she begged, "Why?"
He didn't flinch. "Hindi ka ba nakakaramdam Maeve. I kiss Siesta because i like her. We had a fucking relationship, pero putangina ikaw lang yung nagbubulagbulagan. Siesta is 100% much better than you Maeve, so don't fucking pull your fiancè card, 'cause we both know you're the only one who wants this damn wedding."
Then she ask her. She is making the man she loves choose who he will pick this time.
She broke. "E-Elias, k-kahit n-ngayon lang piliin mo a-ako. . . Please."
And after the intense silence in their surroundings, her beloved suddenly spoke, stopping her world.
"Don't make me choose between you and her." She couldn't see any pity in his eyes as he uttered each word.
"Why? B-Because your... heart was n-never mine to begin with?" Her chest clenched as a result of what she heard from the she man love, as well as the struggle she was having speaking each word.
"Yes... because I've already chosen her. And every part of me is shattering as I say it."
He looked at her empty, unfeeling, and walked away.
Because he didn't love her. Knor choose her.
And he never did. He will never did.
That night, driving alone, the rain fell harder than her sobs. Her vision blurred. A flash of headlights then nothing.
Silence.
She gave everything to a love that never looked back. And in the end, it took her.

"You may not want to be in my head. You might find someone other than myself that you won't be able to forget. It'll haunt you like a nightmare you can't tell. " "Silly. What's in that tough demeanor, ate Cray?" tumawa lang si Ember at kumapit ulit sa braso ko. "I like you. That's enough right?" Napailing na lang ako sa inaasal nito. If she'll learn our history, she'll then understand. Pinalis ko yung kamay nitong nakakapit na naman sa braso ko. "Compose yourself, Ember. I don't like you. You're just like a sister to me. Someone I had to protect with my life." I caught the way those words cut through her. It's visible in the same set of lifeless coal eyes that I am most familiar with. "Bakit?" I stared at her blankly. "Atleast tell me what you don't like about me." "That's exactly why it hurts the way it hurts." Napangiti ako ng mapait. "You have too many questions, too many words, in your head. But those will be left unsaid. Like me, you have to suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much every single day of your life. It hurts like hell." "Damn you. I like you." "You like me for what?" "You. You're not like everyone else. You're so sure of yourself. You're clever. You're self-made. You're everything. Everyone likes you. So you should be mine." I laughed at how shallow those things meant for her. Someone who can't even meet me in the depths of my shattered soul. "Thanks. But those are all my disorder." As i was about to turn my back, she whispered, "I actually feel sorry for you. You still don't know what it was that you even had. And yet still choose to lose. But one day, you'll see me for who I really am. And you're going to hate yourself for turning me down." No, Ember. You're wrong. I know you. You don't know me. Our past will surely haunt us. For you, I'll just be a girl known by everyone. But in fact, known by no one. It's terrible isn't it? The way we throw people away. ****Terminé
Taming Alliston
"Change your clothes." Napatingin ako sa suot ko. It's just a knee-length simple dress. Formal naman para sa meeting namin ngayon kasama ng mga investor nya. Sinundo na nya ako sa unit dahil lagi akong nalelate. "Problema mo ba? I'm decent. It's not my fault that you're just out-fashioned." Sinulyapan ko pa yung suot nyang dark blue pant suit na katerno ng suot nyang white na tops at dark blue blazer. Masyadong conservative tingnan. "Just change your clothes." This time, pautos na iyon. "Ayoko nga. Bakit hindi ikaw ang magpalit ng dam-" Napasinghap ako nang hablutin nya ako palapit sa kanya. "You are utterly indecent." Mahinang bulong pa nito. Pakiramdam ko para akong ipinako sa pwesto ko habang magkadikit kaming dalawa. "Change your clothes or I'll do it for you?" Napalunok muna ako ng ilang beses bago sinalubong yung mga mata nya. I am Alliston Parker, hindi ako natatakot sa kanya. "Change Alli. I don't want to get into trouble tonight." "Trouble?" Itinuro nya ako. "It's a sin to look so tempting and dashing like that, it's not fair." She murmured again under her breath. Nalilitong tiningnan ko si Louella. "Tempting and dashing?" Baliw ba sya? Hindi na nga ako nag-ayos dahil aawayin na naman nya ako pag nahuli kami. Umiling ito na para bang gusto na akong sapakin. "Basta magpalit ka! Ayoko ng ganyang suot mo. Mag-jeans ka na lang. You're not even the one I'm bargaining to them. Make yourself presentable and decent, atleast." Inggitera talaga itong matandang ito. Palibhasa napaglipasan na ng panahon. Yung kagaya kasi nitong malapit ng mawala sa kalendaryo yung naiinsecure sa mga ganitong itsura na gaya ng sakin. "Ibigay mo na kaya sakin yung kailangan ko sayo para tigilan na natin ito? Sarap mo talagang patayin na lang." Bubulong - bulong na sabi ko. Napapikit na lang ako nang maramdaman na lumulutang na ako sa ere. Damn! "Ang dami mong reklamo." Naiiritang sambit nito. "Let me just show you how tempting you look for me." *Terminé
Alter The Ending
Masamang kalabanin ang tadhana. When I stepped inside that horrifying machine, I was aware of the high possibility that I might not make it back alive. I was aware of the dangers of traveling through time. Bakit ko parin ginawa? Because I believe in happy endings. "And that's how everything started." Said mom. I looked at her as she caresses my hair. The bruises on her face and arm still distracts me. I can't believe that she ended up with a good for nothing guy. "Mom, I swear to God that I'm gonna get us out of this place." I promised her. She gave me a sweet smile, the one that never fails to calm my heart. A tear fell from her right eye. Mom's left eye was blinded three years ago because of my step father. That's why only her right eye can cry. "Go to bed. Hindi ka tatangkad kung magpupuyat ka." Said mom. I gave her a kiss on the forehead before I stood up and went outside of her room. It breaks my heart to see her like that. Kung may kapangyarihan lang sana ako I'd travel through time kung saan ang totoong dad ko and my mom were still together. If I'd be given a chance to do that, gagawin ko ang lahat para hindi sila magkahiwalay. So that I will never ever see my mom cry again. That's why I made up my mind. I will rewrite the past. I will save my mother and give her the happy ending she deserve. Babaguhin ko ang nakaraan kahit agawin man nito sa akin ang kinabukasan.

Trapped with the Cactus-Lover
"You're my betrothed." "Naliligaw ka, Miss." Inis na isasara ko na sana yung pinto ng humarang sya doon. "I don't think so. You're Terry Alcatraz right?" Terry has never been terrified all her life, ngayon lang. As she is now standing infront of a Goddess in the form of this woman with 5'10 height, pinkish white skin na hindi yata sanay sa araw, ash gray hair, at yung malalamlam na mga mata na akala mo laging inaantok. Am I still dreaming? "Sino ka ba?" "I'm your betrothed." Hay nako. May baliw na naman na naligaw. I pity her. Maganda nga. Baliw naman. "You got it wrong. Babae ako, Miss." Tsk. Bibigyan ka na nga lang din ng kapareha. Babae pa na mas maganda sayo at may saltik sa utak. Where's justice? "No. I'm in the right place. We're engaged." "Baliw ka ba?" Asar na tanong ko na sa kanya. Nauubos na ang pasensya ko dahil inaantok pa ko. Nagtatakang tiningnan ako ng mga matang kulay tsokolate na iyon. "Me?" Hinagod pa ako nito ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Shit, why am I trapped with you? I wonder. I could have atleast chose a better one. My toenails is way more appealing than you!" Ano daw? Sa sobrang inis ko ay hindi ko napigilang hubarin ang suot kong house slippers at batuhin sya niyon. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiinis? Kagigising mo lang ay may kakatok na sa tapat ng pintuan nyo para lang mangtrip. Pagkatapos sasabayan pa ng panglalait. Tila naman umurong lahat ng tapang ko ng mag angat ng tingin mula sa tsinelas na tumama sa pisngi nito ang babaeng iyon na may pares ng kulay tsokolateng mata. She gave me a chillin' smile pagkatapos ay dinampot ang tsinelas ko saka ubod ng lakas na binato din sakin yung tsinelas ko. Fudge! My pretty face! "There, we're quits. That's what engaged people do. They give and take." pagkatapos ay ngumiti ng pagkatamis tamis na akala mo santita. "Hmm. Bakit parang mas maganda pa sayo yung slippers mo? You could have bought a face too." Ano daw? Papatayin ko talaga tong baliw na babaeng ito. ***Terminé

The Unchosen Wife
As I began to disrobe, undressing myself in front of him, his attention was solely focused on me. A smirk formed on his lips as he took a sip of his Tequila. His eyes roamed freely over. I hope he finally realizes my worth and values the love I have for him. I am determined to fulfill his desires and ensure his satisfaction as his devoted wife. Despite lacking experience in such matters, I am willing to go to great lengths to establish a deep connection with him. I yearn for the opportunity to prove myself and fervently hope he gives me the chance I deserve. As I look at him, I can sense his disdain overwhelming him. His scrunching eyes and tight-lipped mouth reveal his feelings of disgust. Even his body seems to tense up, as if recoiling from something truly repulsive. I can almost imagine the waves of revulsion radiating from him, as though daring anyone to come near. It's a look that sends a shiver down my spine, making me wonder what could have possibly earned such a reaction from him. As I moved quickly toward him, my heart pounded in my chest, not just in a blink of an eye, he also grabbed my neck and throw me to the ground. Sa takot ko, di ako umimik ng ilang segundo. I am choking, can't even barely take a breathe and move. I wanna cry but walang lumalabas na luha sa mga mata ko. Probably because my tears seem to have dried up from constant crying. It's frustrating to want to release the emotions through tears, but they just won't come. "You wish, bitch. You're not even appetizing. You're a boring filthy whore." It was in that moment that I became aware of the utter embarrassment of my situation. He let go of my neck and walked away. I coughed, running out of breathe. I slowly get my clothes and cover my body. I failed. Humagolgol na lang ako sa pag-iyak. Highest ranks: Top 1 - Loneliness Category Top 1 - Anime CategoryTerminé
