John Green Thoughts

Been there, done that

Infinity

Infinity

By: Roda

Infinity. Infinity. Infinity.

Contlessly. Endlessly. Eternally.

Just like the way you loved me,

Just like what you promised me,

Justt like how it used to be,

Jut like how it ought to be.

But we began fighting imminently.

Consistently. Forcefully.

Arguments full of insanity

Throwing vicious words senselessly

I thought giving up wasn't an option for thee

But I was wrong and you left me.

Infinity. Infinity. Infinity.

Limitlessly. Fathomlessly.

Feeling rickety, feeling shaky

Tears running down ceaselessly

Heart hammering so loudly

Voice quivering so badly

Feeling so low, feeling so silly

For believing the promise you gave me

That we will last beyond infinity

Forever together, just you and me

Forever together certainly

But we were wrong and you left me.

How come I didn't see

The liar hiding in thee?

We were young, wild, and free

Full of love, full of stupidity

Full of fun, full of glee

But I didn't expect you to flee

I never knew you'd leave me

With someone you reckon is better than me

You're long gone and will live happily

For infinity. Infinity. Infinity.

A fancy word full of trickery,

For no such thing exists, this shitty INFINITY.

*sigh* Authors...

And Sirius died.

Why is it that the characters that I love die? If Snape dies, I will never forgive J.K. Rowling.

I have a feeling that Snape will die though.

Black and Lupin

Sirius Black and Professor Lupin are ♥

Hi.

Hi.

Boom!

Tubig is river, ilog is water, combine them together, WALA PA DING FOREVER!

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I've got 5 fingers, the middle one's for you.

Editing Photos Rocks

Collage

Ehem. I don't know if the edited photo looks good or what, but all I know is that doing this is easy, though it just takes time. Dugo't pawis ang inialay ko sa paggawa nito. Charot. Plus, if this doesn't look good, fine. :) This is my first time editing a photo this way. So, pagpasensyahan nyo na. Tinry ko lang naman.

Isang Liham para sa Isang Minamahal

     Alam mo ba 'yung pakiramdam na kanina sa'yo pa siya, kasama mo pa siya, tapos maya-maya lang, wala na siya? That's what I feel right now.
     Parang awa mo na, bumalik ka na sa'kin. Isa ka sa mga pinakamahahalaga sa buhay ko, at lubusan akong masasaktan kung hindi ka mapapasaakin ulit. Kaya kong mabuhay ng walang masyadong Internet basta't nariyan ka. Kaya, please, magpakita ka na. Hindi na kita pababayaan pang muli, at iingatan kitang parang isang ginto. Hindi ko gustong makahanap ng katulad mo dahil ikaw lang ang gusto ko. Kung pwede lang i-search sa Google Map kung nasaan ka, ginawa ko na. Kung pwede lang i-report sa pulis na nawawala ka, ginawa ko na. Balik ka na please. :((

Ito ay isang liham para sa aking flashdrive (red and black ang color niya) na 8 GB lang naman pero napakahalaga ng laman niya. Kung wala akong PDF files ng mga libro doon, hindi ako mamomroblema. Though I have another copies of my files there, I still want and need my flashdrive. At walang halong biro, this flashdrive, and my other flashdrive, are one of my things that I treasure the most. Huhu, flashdrive ko.

See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth

It's been a long day without you my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again.

Turn Back Time 2

Napansin ni Zayn na bwisit na bwisit na si Kaye sa mga nangyayari. Lahat nalang kasi, maliban sa parents at close friends nila na alam ang totoo, ay binabati sila ng 'Congratulations. Sana magtagal kayo.' Kaya nagdesisyon si Zayn na....

Zayn: Sige na. Magpahinga ka na. First room pag-akyat mo. Dun nalang ako sa guest room. Ako nang bahala dito. *smiles sadly*

Inirapan pa siya ni Kaye bago tumalikod para pumasok sa bahay. Nilapitan naman siya ni Mrs. Corpuz.

Mrs. Corpuz: Bakit umakyat na si Kaye?

Zayn: 'Cause she's feeling sick, so I told her to rest.

Mrs. Corpuz: Aalagaan mo si Kaye, ha? Wag mo sanang susukuan kahit na sungitan ka ng sungitan.

Zayn: Sure, Tita.

Unti-unting nag-alisan ang mga bisita, hanggang sa ang mga natira nalang ay sina Von, Gab, Kyle, Nikki, Lei, at Joan. Ang problema, lasing ang tatlong babae. Bilang boyfriends ng tatlong mga babae, kailangan nilang alagaan ang mga ito. Pero gusto rin nilang tulungang mag-ayos si Zayn.

Zayn: Guys, ihatid niyo na sila. Alagaan niyo na rin. Lasing na lasing oh. Pag may nangyaring masama diyan sa mga yan, makakaya niyo? Eh ako, mag-aayos lang, kaya ko 'to. Ako pa.

Von: Sigurado ka?

Gab: Oo nga. Baka kailangan mo ng tulong.

Kyle: Kung may kailangan ka, tawagan mo lang kami.

Zayn: Guys, magpahinga na rin kayo. Oks na oks ako dito, no worries. Oy, Kyle! Si ate ha! Alagaan mo yan. Mavo-Vhong Navarro ka pag may nangyaring masama diyan. Sige na, alis na.

V, G, K: Bye. Ingat.

Zayn: Bye.

Dahil 7 na ng matapos ang party, 11 na rin natapos si Zayn sa paglilinis. Pagkatapos ay pumunta siya sa room niya para i-check kung ok lang ba si Kaye. Nang makitang himbing na ito ay pumasok na siya sa guest room.

Zayn: Hay, Kuya. Wish me luck. Mukhang mahihirapan akong mapaamo ang crush mo. Mainit ang ulo sa'kin eh.

Salita niya bago matulog, na para bang nasa paligid lang ang kuya Peter niya.

Kinaumagahan...

She went downstairs, straight to the kitchen. There she found Zayn cooking, at nakaipit ang phone between his right ear and shoulder. She entered the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs in front of the table. May nakahain nang pancakes, coffee, at plates. Zayn's busy with cooking and talking.

Zayn: Yeah, yeah. I'm freaking busy.....Tell him to wait.....It's his problem he went there this early.....I'll be there 9:00...

Pinatay ni Zayn ang stove pero hindi niya binitawan ang sandok. Tinuturo-turo niya pa ito sa hangin na parang nasa harapan niya lang ang kausap. Nawi-weirdohan naman si Kaye sa kanya.

Zayn: Ok, Gab, here's what you should tell him, 'Zayn's busy, he just got married yesterday.' Now, if he still don't get that, tell him to get the eff out, mind his own freaking world as I mind my own damn business......We're wasting our time. He doesn't know how to manage his own damn business. 9:00, meeting with him. *end call*

Lumingon si Zayn at nakita si Kaye.

Zayn: Sorry, hindi kita napansin, nandyan ka na pala.

Kaye: *sarcastic na mataray* Obvious ba?

Zayn: Kain ka.

Kaye: Wala 'kong gana.

Zayn: Friends kayo ni ate diba?

Kaye: Yeah. So?

Zayn: If that's the case, can you help me? Help me na magbati kami.

Kaye: Help you? Why should I? We're not close, we're not even friends.

Zayn: Sige na, please. Gusto ko lang kasi talagang mapatawad na nila ako.

Kaye: Edi gawin mo mag-isa. Pake ko ba dyan. Bago ka humingi ng tulong, tanungin mo muna kung may pakialam ba 'ko. *walk out*

Zayn: Sandali.

Hinawakan ni Zayn sa braso si Kaye upang hindi ito makalayo.

Kaye: *sampal kay Zayn* How dare you touch me? I never wanted to be touched by a CRIMINAL! Kung hindi dahil sa'yo, buhay pa si Peter. Edi sana, walang galit sa'yo. Itanim mo dyan *tulak sa ulo ni Zayn* sa kokote mo, hinding-hindi ka mapapatawad ng lahat ng nagmamahal kay Peter! Tandaan mo yan! *walk out ng tuluyan*

Napaluha nalang si Zayn mula sa narinig kay Kaye. He expected for Kaye to be mad dahil napilitan itong ikasal sa kanya. But he never expected her to be so mad. 'I know it won't be easy, but I never thought it would be this hard.'

On the other hand, Kaye decided to visit Nikki in her condo. She found out that all the other girls are there too.

Kaye: Andito kayo at hindi niyo man lang ako sinabihan.

Joan: Naisip kasi namin na baka 'BUSY' kayo ng ASAWA MO.

Kaye: So green.

Lei: At bakit mo nga ba naisipang pumunta dito at iwanan ang ASAWA MO? May problema ba?

Kaye: Yung kasal ang problema ko. Muntik na 'kong iwanan ni--

Lei: Siya na naman? Hindi ba't hiwalay na kayo?

Kaye: I begged him to stay. I mean, I love him.

Joan: *sarcastic* Yeah, right. Mahal na mahal ka niya. Sa sobrang pagmamahal sa'yo, iba ang dinate niya nung anniversary niyo.

Kaye: You never trusted him. Anyway, nag-away kami ni Zayn.

Nikki: Hay naku. Unang araw niyo bilang mag-asawa, away agad? Hahaha. Tungkol saan?

Kaye: Humihingi kasi siya ng tulong na magkabati na kayo. Sabi ko, sino siya para tulungan ko? Sinabi ko rin na hinding-hindi siya mapapatawad ng mga taong nagmamahal kay Peter. Ayun. Natahimik ang loko. Haha.

Lei: Hindi ba kayo naaawa sa kanya? Buong buhay niya, sina Peter, Von, Gab at Kyle lang ang nakakaunawa sa kanya. Tapos nawala pa si Peter.

Joan: Tapos sa UK pa siya pinag-aral para mapalayo kay Peter. Tapos kapag nalalaman nila na sinisisi si Zayn sa pagkamatay ng kuya niya, nilalayuan siya.

Nikki: Sosyal naman sa UK ah. Hindi siya basta pinatapon, sa Oxford nag-aral. Laking gastos kaya.

Kaye: Hay naku. Kalimutan niyo muna si Zayn. Let's relax. Baka magmukha tayong stressed sa party later.

Napailing nalang sina Joan at Lei dahil sa inasta ng dalawa.

*sa office*

Mr. Ti: Ikaw bakit tagal dating? Ikaw daya ako?

Zayn: Mr. Ti, good morning. Sorry for being late. I had to settle some stuff.

Mr. Ti: Don't english me. I'm panic.

Zayn: Sorry. Anyway, bakit po kayo nandito?

Mr. Ti: Sabi sa akin ni Gab, malabong matulungan nyo akin kumpanya? What is problem?

Zayn: Mr. Haba Ng Ti, malabo na po kasing maiahon ang kumpanya nyong bagsak na bagsak na. Hind--

Mr. Ti: I am agree to you. Pelo kahit konti tulong lang.

Zayn: Wala na, Mr. Ti. Sa iba nalang po kayo humingi ng tulong.

Mr. Ti: Payn! Ikaw sisi banda huli. Pelo ikaw punta pa rin akin party.

Umalis si Mr. Ti ng galit. Samantala, si Zayn naman ay inasikaso na ang mga meetings nya. Pag-uwi niya ng bahay ay walang tao. Naghanda na siya para sa dadaluhang party. Pagdating sa venue ay nagsisimula na ito. Nilapitan naman siya ni Mr. Ti.

Mr. Ti: Ikaw late.

Zayn: Sorry. Medyo traffic.

Mr. Ti: Ikaw lagi nalang late. Ano pa palusot ikaw melon? Halika, pakilala kita akin bago investor.

Zayn: Sa lagay ng kumpanya mo, may investor ka pa? Himala nga naman.

Mr. Ti: Ikaw ano sabi?

Zayn: *ginaya ang Chinese accent* Wala po. Tala na sa bago nyo investor.

Umupo sila sa may harapan at tinuro ni Mr. Ti ang lalaking nakatalikod na may nakaakbay na babae. May kausap silang tatlong mga babae. Maya-maya ay humarap na ang mga ito at lumakad patungo sa kung saan sila nakapwesto ni Mr. Ti.

Mr. Ti: Oh, Zayn, ito akin bago investor. *turo sa lalaki* Mr. Fernandez, ito Mr. Malik *turo kay Zayn*

Nakipagkamay si Zayn sa lalaki ngunit ang tingin nya ay nasa babaeng nakaakbay dito na naka-smirk sa kanya.

Mr. Ti: Ito naman kanya gelpren *turo sa babae*. Ganda no? Siya Kayla Nicole.

Inabot ni Zayn ang kamay niya sa babae.

Zayn: Nice to meet you, Ms. Kayla.

Kayla gave Zayn a cocky smile. Pero hindi niya tinanggap ang pakikipagkamay nito. Sa halip, bineso-beso niya ito ng kunwari, habang may binubulong.

Kayla: *bulong* Subukan mong ipagsabi sa kahit sino na mag-asawa tayo, isusumbong kita kina Mommy (mom ni Zayn). *salita, yung rinig na talaga* Yeah, we've met nung birthday party niya. Right, hon? *yakap kay Mr. Fernandez*

Mr. Fernandez: Indeed, hon. Mr. Malik, you might want to join us tonight.

Pinandilatan siya ni Kaye at sinabihan ng walang sound, 'Wag kang tatanggi.' Nakutuban ni Zayn na may plano ang mga ito. Lumingon siya sa tatlong babaeng kasama nina Kaye: Joan, Lei, at Nikki. Walang pakelam si Nikki at nakatingin sa malayo. Paglingon kina Lei at Joan, nakita niyang pareho silang umiiling at bumubulong ng, 'Huwag.' Kaya ang desisyon niya,

Zayn: Yeah, sure. Where's your table?

Ni-lead naman sila ni Mr. Fernandez. Nilapitan naman nina Joan at Lei.

Lei: Why did you say yes?

Zayn: Gusto kong bantayan si Kaye. I just feel that shit's gonna happen if I'll leave her alone.

Lumipas ang gabi na puro PDA sina Mr. Fernandez at Kaye. Si Zayn naman ay nakaupo lang sa tapat nila. Nang matapos ang party, lasing na lasing si Kaye. Kaya kinausap ni Zayn si Mr. Fernandez.

Zayn: James, may I now take my WIFE home?

James: Wag mong ipagmalaki sa'kin na ikaw ang asawa niya, dahil ako. Ang. MAHAL. Niya. So, back off dude. *tulak kay Zayn*

Zayn: *sapak kay James* Iuuwi ko ang asawa ko.

Lumapit naman si Nikki sa kanila.

Nikki: How dare you na sapakin yung mahal ng asawa mo? *kuha kay Kaye* Here, James. Take your girlfriend home.

Zayn: What the hell?! No!

Nikki: *tulak kay Zayn* Stop it, will you?! Get lost! I'm sure na kahit hindi lasing si Kaye, mas gugustuhin niyang sumama kay James.

Nakita naman ni Zayn na malayo-layo na ang sasakyan ni Kaye. Medyo marami rin siyang nainom at masyadong delikado kung magda-dfive pa siya sa lugar na hindi niya kabisado, kay nagdesisyon siyang umuwi na. And whatever happened to Kaye ang James that night, only the two of them know.

------

Zayn woke up with a headache, the same with Kaye. Yun nga lang, nasa magkaibang bahay ang mag-asawa. Zayn decided to take the day off. Habang si Kaye, nagising siyang mag-isa. She felt cold. As she looked under the comforter, she saw that she's naked. She worriedly looked around the room. She let out a sigh of relief when she recognized that the room was James'. She smiled. 'But where is he?' Tinawagan niya ito. May nag-ring naman sa sofa, ang phone ni James. Naisip niyang baka nasa baba si James at naghahanda ng foods. But after 30 minutes, walang James na umaakyat. She took James' phone and went downstairs. Nakita niya ang katulong ni James na kumakain.

Kaye: Yaya, si...James po?

Yaya: Hindi ba nagpaalam sa'yo, iha? May dala-dala siyang maleta at mga bag. Ang alam ko, dun na siya maninirahan.

Kaye: S-saan pong doon?

Yaya: Iyan ang hindi ko na alam.

She hurriedly went outside. 'No car.' So she dialled someone's number.

Kaye: Pick me up sa bahay ni James. Bilisan mo.......(Umiiyak ka ba?) No more questions. I'll text you the address.

Nang huminto ang kotse ng tinawagan niya sa harap niya, she hurriedly went in the passenger seat.

Kaye: Airport.

Zayn: Wait, what? Why?

Kaye: AIRPORT!!!

Zayn: Eto na. O *abot ng panyo* punasan mo yang luha mo. Aalis ka pala, di ka man lang nagpaalam sa'min.

Kaye: Would you shut up? You're not helping!

Nanahimik nalang si Zayn at parang nahuhulaan na ang nangyari. 'Nilayasan siya ni James.' Pagdating sa airport ay dali-daling tumakbo papasok si Kaye.

Guard: Miss, passport niyo po.

Kaye: Kuya, kuya, papasukin mo 'ko, hahabulin ko lang yung mahal ko.

Guard: Sorry, ma'am. Wala po tayo sa pelikula na pinapasok ang tao para habulin ang mahal niya. Hindi po kayo makakapasok, ma'am.

Zayn: Papasukin niyo siya. *smiles*

Guard: Sir, good morning po. Sige, ma'am, pasok po kayo. Sana po, mahabol niyo ang mahal niyo.

Dali-daling tumakbo papasok si Kaye at nagtanong...

Kaye: Miss, yung flight papuntang Australia.

Miss: Naku, ma'am, nakaalis na, 47 minutes ago.

Napaiyak nalang si Kaye at napaluhod. Inalalayan naman siya ni Zayn sa mga upuan.

Zayn: Gusto mo ba siyang sundan sa Australia? I can hire a private plane right now.

Kaye: No. Malay mo, kagaya sa mga pelikula na hindi naman pala talaga umalis yung lalaki.

Napatango nalang si Zayn. Nalulungkot siya dahil sobrang nasasaktan si Kaye. Nasasaktan siyang makita si Kaye na umiiyak ng ganito. Nagagalit siya kay James dahil sa kawalang-hiyaan nito na iwanan si Kaye ng ganun-ganun lang. Halos isang oras na ang lumipas na nakatanga lang sila doon.

Kaye: Wala na. Wala na siya. Tara na.

Umuwi sila ng tahimik. Walang may gustong magsalita hanggang sa nakarating sila sa bahay.

Zayn: K-kumain ka nalang muna. Mukhang di ka pa nakakakain.

Kaye: Wala akong gana.

------

Lumipas ang dalawang buwan na puro ganyan ang ganap. Aalukin ni Zayn si Kaye na kumain, and the latter will give him a no. Minsan, sumasabay sa kanya kumain. Minsan ay lasing pa ito kung umuwi, at susunduin naman ni Zayn. Then one morning...

Kaye: *rushed to the bathroom* WREEEEEECK! WREECK!

Zayn: *rubbing Kaye's back* Are you not feeling well?

Kaye: Med--medyo nahihilo lang ako. But I'll be fine.

Zayn: Ilang araw ka nang ganyan ah. Are you pregnant? Kumain ka na. Sasama ka sa'kin sa ospital.

Natahimik naman si Kaye. Naalala niya yung gabi bago umalis si James. Kaya nagtungo sila sa ospital.

Guard: Good morning, doc.

Zayn: Good morning. Kaye, upo ka lang muna dyan.

Maya-maya pa ay inumpisahan na ni Zayn ang pagte-test kay Kaye. After some time ay nasa kanya na ang resulta. Nandun din ang barkada dahil tinawagan nila si Kaye at nang sabihin niyang nasa ospital siya ay dali-daling nagtungo ang mga ito sa ospital.

Von: O, ano na Zayn? Kamusta na? Anong results?

Lei: Dali, pa-suspense pa eh. Sabihin mo na.

Gab: Ano, brad? Ang tagal mo namang sumagot eh.

Nikki: Are you not going to say anything?

Kyle at Joan: Hoy! Magsalita ka!

Sunod-sunod na salita ng mga ito.

Zayn: Daldal niyo kasi eh. Anyway, all tests are negative except for one. Congratulations, Kayla Nicole, you're 7 weeks pregnant.

Medyo natulala muna ang iba habang nagtitigan sina Kaye at Zayn.

Von: *suntok sa braso ni Zayn* Tatay na ang bunso namin! Hahaha!

Kaye: Guys, pwedeng iwan niyo muna kami ni Zayn?

At may kasunod pa....

TV Patrol: Nailabas na ng gobyerno ang listahan ng 3 sa mga pinakamamamayan -ehem- pinakamayayaman na tao sa Pilipinas. Pangatlo sa listahan si Mr. Henry Sy at pumapangalawa si Mr. Ben Ten -este- Chan. Nangunguna pa rin si Mr. Zayn Johnford Malik na mayroong ari -I mean- nagmamay-ari ng Apple Company, Coca-cola Company, Inc., at ng Starbucks, at marami pang iba. Si Mr. Malik din ang pinakamayamang tae -ay este- tao sa buong mundo at 5 taon niya nang hawak ang titi-I mean- titulo. Ito po si Jay-jey Laztimoza, dito sa 'It's your TV, it's your patrol, it's.....TVeeeeeeeeeee Patrol!'

*turns the tv off*

Von: Edi, ikaw na mayaman.

Gab: Libre naman dyan.

Zayn: Di bale sana kung natutuwa sina Mama't Papa diba? Kaso hindi naman eh.

Kyle: *pats him on the back* It's okay, bro. Just think of your birthday party later.

Gab: Diba mame-meet mo na yung fiancé mo later?

Zayn: *sighs* Yeah. C'mon, let's go. Pagabi na. I need to check the venue.

<---Flashback<---
*sa park, 9 years ago*

Zayn: Kuya, I'm fine here. Go home, enjoy your birthday party, and I'm ok here.

Peter: Bunso, I won't go home without you. How will I enjoy the party if I know that you're here, sad and alone? C'mon. Let's go home.

Peter dragged Zayn to the car, and Zayn had no choice but to let himself be dragged. He knows that if he won't go with his brother, Peter wouldn't go home and just stay beside him. They sat in the car quietly. They were near the house when Peter's phone rang. Since it was traffic, Peter tried to stop the car as he answered the call.

Peter: Hello, ate?..... *steps on the brakes*.. Sinundo ko s-si Zayn from the *step sa brakes* Oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit. (What happened?....Pete, are you still there?)

Zayn: Kuya, anong problema?

Peter: (steps on the brakes) The brakes don't work.......Ahhhhhhhhh! (Peeeete!)

END OF FLASHBACK

Kaye: Seriously, Dad?! Why do I have to marry someone I have never met yet?

Mr. Corpuz: Lower down your voice, Kayla Nicole Corpuz. I told you already that our company's going down. He'll be a big help. And trust me, he's a good man. He's kind, handsome, respectful, talented, smart--

Kaye: Okay, okay, Dad. I'll do this just because I love you and Mom. Plus, it's just one year. After a year of a bullshit marriage, we'll divorce.

Nikki: Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. Bakit parang stressed ka? Nababawasan ang beauty. Hello po, Tito, Tita.

Kaye: Mom, Dad, dun na po kami. Eh kasi po, isasakal, I mean, ikakasal ako sa brother mo.

Nikki: Tss. Can you please don't say he's my brother? 'Cause he really isn't my brother. We don't share the same blood.

Joan: That's harsh, girl.

Nikki: Harsh but true.

Lei: I'd actually be happy if he's my brother. I'd be shouting, "Hey, bitches!" Wait, no, that's rude. "Hey, people! Do you know me? I'm a Malik. I'm the sister of Zayn Johnford, the richest person in this world. So, back off bit-," no, cut it after the word 'world'.

Nikki: Even if he's the reason of your brother's death?

Kaye: We were just talking about our marriage, then we went to Peter's death. Wow. Just wow.

Joan: Affected ka rin naman sa pagkawala ni Peter diba?

Lei: And you were so mad when he died.

Nikki: Because Pete is your first love. And he died because of Zayn.

Kaye: Yeah, I know. That's why I'll make his life a hell. *evil smirk*

Nikki: Uhuh. Continue having flings even after your marriage. Who is he to stop you? Sa paper lang naman yung marriage nyo.

Joan: Ssshhh. Magsisimula na 'yung party.

Von: Good evening everybody. As we all know, and it's written in the invitation card, you are here to celebrate with us the birthday of the richest person in the Philippines....

Gab: And in the world,

Kyle: Zayn Johnford Malik! *everybody, except the four girls, claps their hands as Zayn stands and waves his hand then goes to the stage*

Kaye: *whispers* If Peter's still alive, sa kanya ako ia-arranged marriage. Edi wala sana akong reklamo.

Zayn: Thank you everybody for coming tonight. Ahmm-Just- Just enjoy the night. Yeah. That's it.

Kyle: Sineryoso mo naman masyado yung sinabi naming magbigay ka ng short speech. Dahil saksakan nga ng short yung binigay mong speech.

Zayn isn't focused in what's happening. He keeps on looking around, as if waiting for someone to come. He's been waiting for his parents. Never in his entire life was he greeted by his parents a 'Happy Birthday'. He has told himself not to wait and expect for his parents' presence in the party, but there's still a part of him that tells him to look around and see if his parents are there. He decided to go to the garden. He looked at the whole venue. It's his house that was built 2 years ago. There's an infinity pool at the front of the house. There's a wooden bridge to get to the door. There's a garden with so many flowers that his friends are fond of. He can see his Audi R8 and his limo. Inside the house are a big kitchen, living room, music room, and 3 bedrooms, excluding his massive bedroom. His bedroom is so big that one and one-half condo-unit (big ones) can fit. Inside his bedroom is a 72-inches tv, a cr, and a king-sized bed. He looked at the people. They're all happy. He thought of himself. It's his birthday yet he's the one who's unhappy. Everybody tells him he has everything. But he just says, "Everyone can't have everyting. There would be at least one thing that will lack." And what's lacking for him is his family's love and attention.

Gab: Hinahanap ka ni Mr. Corpuz. Baka ipapakilala ka na sa fiancé mo.

He went inside and looked for Mr. Corpuz.

Mr. Corpuz: There you are, Mr. Malik. Happy birthday.

Zayn: Thank you, Sir. You were looking for me?

Mr. Corpuz: Ah, yeah. Here she is.

Mr. Corpuz went by his side for him to see the lady who has been standing behind Mr. Corpuz. She's the lady in the portrait.

<---Flashback<---
*Mr. Corpuz's office, 6 months ago*
He's sitting at the sofa in front of Mr. Corpuz's table, waiting for Mr. Corpuz to come. He looked around him. Mr. Corpuz is an organized person, all things are properly placed. But what caught his attention is the family portrait, the young lady, specifically. He stood and went nearer the family portrait. Then he saw a picture of this lady on Mr. Corpuz's table. He held the picture and examined the lady's face.

Zayn: I knew it. You're the daughter of Mr. Corpuz. I've been looking for you. And now, we're gonna see each other again.

Some minutes passed and he's still holding the picture. He heard the door open so he carefully put the picture back on the table, not minding if the person who entered saw him staring at it.

Mr. Corpuz: She's my daughter, 24 years old. She's currently in UK, having a vacation.

Zayn: *still not facing Mr. Corpuz* I'll go straight to the point, Mr. Corpuz. Your company's going down, and it's not impossible that a few months from now, this company will close. I would like to help, but I don't know how. *looks at Mr. Corpuz*

Mr. Corpuz: I know someone who owns a company that's failing, then in-arranged marriage nya yung anak nya with a rich businessman. Maybe, I can fix the company through that.

Zayn didn't give any reaction, so Mr. Corpuz decided to continue.

Mr. Corpuz: And the way you look at the picture of my daughter, I can say I've found the way you can help me and my company.

END OF FLASHBACK

Zayn: *holding out his hand* Zayn Johnford Malik.

Kaye: I know. And I'm sure you know my name too, so what's the use of this introduction?

Mrs. Corpuz: Anak...

Kaye: I'll go straight to the point, Mr. Malik. I agreed in this shit because I want to help my family. And I know that after 1 year, we'll divorce. Strictly after one year. Is that clear?

Zayn: Y-yes?

Kaye: Good. We're done. Mom, Dad, dun na po ako sa friends ko. *alis*

Zayn: I'm sure I wouldn't know how I'll survive when we live under the same roof.

Mr. Corpuz: Pasensya ka na sa inasal nya.

Zayn: I understand. I'll just go to my sister. See you around. *smiles*

Zayn: Ate, darating ba sina Mama?

Nikki: Of course not. What do you expect? And please, don't talk to me. You're ruining my night.

--->FAST FORWARD--->

Priest: I now pronouce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.

Kaye: *bulong* Subukan mo lang, papatayin kita mamaya.

Zayn: *bulong* Papatayin saan? Sa sarap?

Kaye: *bulong* Perv--

Zayn cut her off with a kiss, and when he pulled away, he was smirking.

Zayn: *bulong* Humanda ka sa'kin mamaya, Mrs. Malik.

Everybody clapped their hands as the newly-weds walked down the aisle to the limo that's waiting outside that will bring them to the reception area. Kaye just looked down and rolled her eyes.

Kaye: *bulong* If only these people knew the real story.

Sa reception area, which is Zayn's house...

Joan: Wow, girl, you're married. Who would've thought? Ikaw 'tong pinakabata sa'ting apat, ikaw pa ang naunang magpakasal.

Kaye: Oh, shut up. Do I look happy about it? *rolls her eyes*

Lei: It's obvious that you're not happy. Why? Shouldn't you be proud that your husband's so handsome and rich?

Kaye: Tss. Kung si Peter yan, I'm very happy right now. Teka, may gusto ka ba kay Zayn? Ikaw ha. Boyfriend mo na nga si Von eh.

Lei: Wala akong gusto sa HUSBAND MO. Crush lang, si Von pa rin love ko.

Joan: Nikki, may boses ka pa ba? Why so quiet?

Nikki: Kaye, girl, alam mo namang all I want for you is your happiness, and sa tingin ko naman, mapapasaya ka ni Zayn, kahit konti.

Kaye: Are you telling me to give him a chance?

Nikki: Maybe yes, maybe no. I don't know.

Joan: Seriously talking, I would advice you to give him a chance. He's a good man. Magiging kaibigan ba sya nina Von, Gab at Kyle kung masama sya?

Kaye: But he's the reason why Peter died.

Lei: Kayla Nicole, Cathryn Nikki, and to your family, open your eyes and your hearts. Hindi porke hindi niyo kaano-ano si Zayn, may karapatan na kayong saktan sya. Plus, hindi nya ginusto yung nangyari kay Peter.

Joan: If only you guys knew everything that happened to Zayn, especially after Peter's death. Tsk. *iling*

Nikki: Do you know something I don't?

Lei: We know a lot of things that you don't know about him.

<---FLASHBACK<---
Sa school, 7 yrs. ago

Gab: Bunso, ba't di ka kumakain? Nasan lunch mo?

Zayn: Hin-di ako binigyan nina Mama't Papa.

Kyle: Edi bumili ka nalang.

Von: Oo nga, marami naman dyan.

Zayn: That's another problem. They confiscated all my money. Not even a peso was left.

Tumayo naman si Gab at pagbalik ay may dalang lunch for Zayn.

Hapon, sa bahay ng mga Malik, ng araw ding iyon...

Zayn: H-happy birthday po, Mama. Para sa inyo po. Ako po nag-bake nyan. *lapag ng tray ng cupcakes sa table*

Mrs. Malik: Can't you see I'm busy? And please, pakilayo ang basurang yan.

Zayn: Pero, para sa inyo po yan.

Mrs. Malik: I don't need that.

Tinulak ni Mrs. Malik ang tray ng cupcakes kaya tumapon ito sa floor.

Mrs. Malik: Kung ikaw sana ang naglayo, edi hindi nasayang. Now, clean that mess.

Zayn: O-opo.

2 years ago...
Zayn: Ma, Pa, punta po kayo sa party bukas. Birthday ko po kasi.

Papa: So what kung birthday mo? Dapat ba magdiwang kami?

Zayn: Ininvite ko lang po kayo.

Luckily, they were convinced to go to his birthday party. Ang hindi lang na-convince ni Zayn ay si Nikki who's in US.

Von: Syempre, hingian natin ng message ang parents. Let's call here on stage, Mr. & Mrs. Malik.

Everyone claps their hands while the couple were very serious, not even smiling.

Mr. Malik: If everyone thinks we're happy, no we're not. If everyone thinks we're proud, no we're not.

Napayuko naman si Zayn, trying to hold back his tears.

Mrs. Malik: 'Cause we'll never be proud of this killer. For those who do not know, this person you admire, is an asshole. He's the reason why our son died.

Bumaba sa stage si Mrs. Malik at binuhusan ng alak si Zayn, at ibinuhos rin nya kay Zayn yung food nito. When she finished, they eventually walked out, smiling triumphantly. Zayn's tears fell down and he's still looking down. Nahihiya sya sa mga taong naroon. He knows that they're still mad because of losing their real son, at yung ampon pa ang nabuhay. He walked out, looking down. Von, Gab, and Kyle decided to finish the party.

END OF FLASHBACK

Nikki: Baka naman gawa-gawa nyo lang yan?

Lei: No. There are still a lot.

Nikki: Can you give another one?

Joan: Sure, I'll give you one, the worst one.

<---FLASHBACK<---
*2 months after mailibing ni Peter*
*convo sa phone*

Von: Zayn, no. Hindi nyan maso-solve ang problems mo. Kuya, pakibilisan po yung pagda-drive.

Zayn: *cries* I-i know. But at least, I won't f-feel the pain an-anymore.

Gab: Zayn, wait for us. Eto na. Malapit na kami. Magpa-park na.

Zayn: I don't know. Hin-hindi ko na alam gagawin ko.

Kyle: Zayn, hold on. If you're holding something sharp, throw it. Pasakay na kami ng elevator.

Pagdating sa condo-unit ni Zayn...

Gab: We're here! Where the hell are you?!

Zayn: K-kitchen...

They saw Zayn, his wrist was already cut for a few times. They went near, Gab carried Zayn, Von threw the knife away, Kyle opened then closed the door for them. Zayn was unconscious for 13 hours.

Kyle: Didn't I tell you to throw away whatever sharp thing you're holding? Didn't we tell you not to do that? Good thing naabu--

Gab: Kyle, wag ngayon. Naiintindihan naman natin si Zayn eh. Let's just be thankful he's awake now.

Zayn: Please, don't tell anyone.

Von: Sure, kumain ka na. Then let's talk about the problem.

Zayn: The problem is that everyone's blaming me. Lalo nang ayaw sa'kin ng mga Malik. Worst is, wala na si Kuya. Wala na yung taong nag-aalaga sa'kin pag may sakit ako, wala nang nagtatanong kung kumain na ba 'ko, ok lang ba 'ko. Wala na yung shoulder to cry on ko. Wala na yung bumabati at kasama ko pag birthday ko, new year, pasko, pag may award ako. Wala na yung taong tinuring akong tunay na kapatid, wala na yung nagmamahal sa'kin ng totoo. Wala na. Wala na si Kuya.

Von: Wag kang mag-alala. Mula ngayon, kami na ang kuya mo.

Kyle: *sighs* Wag na wag mo nang uulitin yung pagsu-suicide ah. Naku, sinasabi ko talaga sayo, asdfghjkl!

Gab: Hahaha! Itsura mo. Grouphug!

END OF FLASHBACK

Lei: And until now, yung marks nung paglalaslas nya, makikita mo pa rin sa wrist nya.

Zayn: Joan, nanggigigil ako. Pigilan mo si Gab, baka mapatay ko 'tong boyfriend mo.

Gab: Binibigyan ko lang sya ng 'proteksyon' kasi baka hindi pa sya handang maging ama. Oh dib-- *piningot ni Joan ang tenga* aray. Aray, sweetie, hin-hindi na mauulit. Promise.

Joan: San mo nakuha yan?

Gab: Binili ko, kanina lang. Dagdag wedding gift sana. Hehe. Peace.

Lei: Zayn, kanina ka pa ba jan?

Zayn: *starts walking away* Not really. But long enough for me to hear your storytelling.

And to be continued.......I'm baaaaack!

Tula ng Brokenhearted

Tula ng Brokenhearted
Ni: Rodalyn Gasid

Naaalala ko 'yung mga panahon
Na sa saya, mga puso'y tumatalon
Maligaya sa piling ng isa't isa
Walang puwang ang mga problema.

Naaalala ko noon
Lahat ng mga dala mong pasalubong
Kahit na sabi mo hindi ka romantiko
Ikaw lang ang kaisa-isang minahal ko.

Naaalala kong sinabi mo noon
Walang makapaghihiwalay sa'tin habampanahon
Na ikaw lang at ako ang meron
Mapabukang-liwayway man o dapit-hapon.

Naaalala ko rin na sinabi mo,
Walang iwanan ikaw at ako,
Magkasama sa hirap o ligaya,
Sa lungkot man o ginhawa.

Pero lungkot ang s'yang natamo
Nang sa'kin, ika'y nakipaghiwalay at lumayo
Lahat ng mga pangako'y napako
Nawalang parang bula, biglang naglaho.

Hindi lang masakit
Mas malala pa sa sobrang sakit
Hindi ko naman kasi inakala
Na ang pag-ibig mo'y biglang mawawala.

Siguro nga ang sabi-sabi'y totoo
Na ang 'forever' ay nasa isip lang ng tao
At ang pangakong walang hanggan
Wala rin namang katotohanan.

Umasa pa naman ako sa sinabi mo
Na ang pag-ibig mo'y 'di magbabago
Akala ko tayo na hanggang sa dulo
Pero hanggang akala nalang pala ito.

Mahirap gumising sa bawat umaga
Lalo na t'wing naiisip kong wala ka na
Mas mabuti pa kapag natutulog
Puso't isip ay hindi nabubulabog.

Move-on? Madaling sabihin
Ng mga 'di pa nakakaranas ng pait sa pag-ibig
Kung brokenhearted ka'y parang ayaw mo ng harapin
Ang bukas na ihaharap ng daigdig.

Tanga na kung tanga
Siraulo na kung sira
Pero mahirap kasing pakawalan
Ang pag-ibig na matagal mong pinanghawakan.

Masakit na makita
Na masaya ka sa piling ng iba
Naisip ko na kung tayo pa rin kaya
Ganyan ka rin ba kasaya?

Durog pa rin ako
Wasak pa rin ang puso ko
Ganito lang talaga siguro
Kung sa pag-ibig ika'y bigo.

Totoo nga na sa magsinta
May mas nagmamahal kesa sa isa
At sa bawat hiwalayang nagaganap
May mas nasasaktan at naghihirap.

Ayokong burahin ka ng tuluyan
Masakit ma'y hindi kita kalilimutan
Alaala mo'y nakatatak sa puso't isipan
Ngayong hanggang magpakailanman.

Darating ang panahon
Sarili ko'y ibabangon
Hindi ko man kaya pa ngayon
Darating ang araw ako'y aahon.

Ayoko pa ring isipin na wala ka na rito
Dahil hanggang ngayon ikaw pa rin ang mahal ko
Sobrang sakit ring isipin na ako na nga ang iniwan
Ako pa ang s'yang mas nasasaktan.

Me and my Probs

"Mas madaling ngumiti kahit hindi ka masaya kesa sabihin sa iba kung bakit malungkot ka."

For me, it's true. Ako kasi yung tipo ng tao na sooooobrang bihira kung maglabas ng problema. Nananahimik lang ako, kahit sobrang inis at galit na 'ko. I would speak a bit, magdadahilan ako, sasalungatin ko, yun ay kapag hindi pa masyado yung inis ko. Pero kapag sobra-sobra na, yung as in galit or sad na talaga 'ko, nananahimik lang ako. Sa'kin kasi, it's easier to stay quiet than to reason out. I don't like shouting at anybody when I'm mad (dahil baa kung ano masabi ko), so kesa sumigaw ako, I shut up. When I'm quiet, when I don't feel like talking to anybody then suddenly someone talks to me or smiles at me, I'd answer or I'll give a fake smile. If somebody asks why I'm quiet or if I have a problem or if I'm alright, I won't answer that much, I'll just say, "Nothing," or give a fake smile, or I won't say/do anything at all. 'Cause it's really easier for me to smile than to tell them the reason why I'm so quiet. Kasi pag sinabi ko sa kanila na 'Kasi ganito ganyan,' magtatanong na ng magtatanong yung nagtatanong. Plus, I'm pessimistic sometimes, especially when it comes to judgments. Criticisms are destructive for me most of the time, which might happen if I tell people my problems. Nahihiya ako, and at the same time, natatakot. Natatakot ako na people might not understand me and my problems, natatakot akong mahusgahan. So, I just smile. It's easier for me to smile than to make people know and understand my problem. It's easier for me to keep my problems on my own than to share it to others. People say na masamang nagkikimkim ng problema at galit since it's not healthy for the heart. People who keep problems on their own tend to have a heart disease more kesa dun sa mga naglalabas ng galit. I've known this since time in memorial. I don't want to have a heart disease, but I also don't want to share my problems. Ang tanga lang kasi I choose to keep everything even if I know that it's not gonna result to anything good. I might even be unhealthy because of this. But, yeah. This is me. I don't know why I'm being stubborn.
