Fire Burning

Chapter 28

Note: I'm sorry if I took so long to update. Examination day just ended last thursday. We all deserves to rest, so, I rested for two days then I continued writing na.

I hope you guys are okay and doing great.

For those who are disappointed with themselves for having low scores on their exams, I know how does it feel, and I'm so proud of you for making and surviving the exams well. Despite the struggles you'd faced before, during, and after the exam you still did all your best.

Don't pressure yourself too much, okay? You did great already and that's enough. Sometimes we tend to say “it's okay” but our emotions and actions says otherwise; deep inside we are wrecked, broken, and definitely not okay.

It's okay to cry, I can be the shoulder you can cry and lean on. Just message me if you don't have someone you can share with your hatred and unsaid thoughts. Don't hesitate to tell your problems to someone. Nakakagaan sa dibdib iyon.

I would love to hear your tantrums, rants, and such, if that will make you feel better.

You don't have to fight alone. There's a lot of people who loves you and wants to comfort you. You are not alone on your battles.

I love you! I'm so proud of you! 💗

"Dad, this is Alzera Hendoza, the woman that I am inlove with. Baby, Warren Aguas, my father."

"G-good evening, po." Nauutal kong bati.

"Good evening." Napakapit ako sa kamay ni Sir Wrath sa lamig ng boses ni Mr. Aguas.

"Love, huwag mong takutin si Alzera. Ano kaba!"

Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Wrena sa gilid dahil natatawa na sya. Dahil siguro kinakabahan ako at halatang nangingig boses ko. Si Wreck ay nakangisi lang din sakin.

Nag thumbs up pa sya.

The proud and notable Warren Aguas is infront of me! Nakakapang-hina ng tuhod ang mga titig ng Tatay ni Sir Wrath. Jusko naman. First time kung matitigan ng matagal ang Tatay n'ya sa personal dahil dati ay sa internet ko lang sya nakikita at talagang magkamukhang-kamukha silang tatlo ni Wreck. Walang tinapon, sama na natin si Wrena.

"Just call him Daddy, 'nak! Diba, love?"

Gusto kung mag-pasalamat kay Mommy Glenda dahil talagang nawala lahat ng pangamba ko.

"Yes, just call me. . . damn, D-daddy."

Para bang sinabi n'ya lang 'yon dahil no choice s'ya. Kahit na ganon ay napangiti ako. Under de Asawa pala 'to. Tuwang-tuwa naman ang ginang.

"Welcome to the family. It's nice to finally meet you, Ms. Henzoda."

"Ay, grabi, ang formal!" Sambat ni Wrena.

"Just call me, Alzera, po." Sabi ko.

"Okay, Alzera, then." Ngumiti sya sakin ng kunti. Shit, ang pogi! Nawala tuloy ang kaba na nararamdaman ko dahil sa ngiting 'yon.

New crush unlocked. Tatay ng manliligaw ko.

"Your tastes changed, my son. Bata na pala ang tipo mo." Pang-aasar n'ya sa anak. Nahiya tuloy ako ng kaunti. "17 right?" Nahihiyang tumango naman ako.

"Coming from you, ilang taon ba si Mom ng ginawa n'yo ako?" He fired back.

Akala ko maiinis ang Tatay n'ya pero tumawa lang ito. Jusko, mukhang dito nag-mana si Sir Wrath, magkamukhang-kamukha silang dalawa pag tumatawa. Tapos ang dalawang unggoy na nakaupo sa lamesa ay kay Mommy Glenda. Ay si Wrath lang pala. Masama ugali ni Wrena, mana sa panganay.
