Chapter: TUG: EPILOGUERing"Bro! Kanina ka pa nakatitig diyan kay Yenjilane! Ligawan mo na kasi!" I glared at my friend, Cris."Torpe siya, bro!" Phillip butted in. I sighed and stood up."Oh! Magpapalipas na naman sa ibang babae! Kung dinidiskartehan mo na lang ang crush mo!" my brows arched."The fuck, bro?! Crush?! That's just for highschool! That's corny," tumawa sila."Oh sige na, Ash. Diskartehan mo na lang ang mahal mo," Cris teased me more.I threw my plastic cup on them before I walked away from them. But my eyes immediately locked up when I saw her, Yenjilane. She's talking with his friend, Teasia. I pressed my lips and ruffled my hair, getting frustrated. I saw some guys hitting her everyday but she kindly take them all down so I am that scared to confess my feelings for her. I know that was cheesy but, damn.. I like her a lot.I took out my

Chapter: TUG: Chap 40CrazyNanlamig lalo ang mga kamay ko ng makarating na kami sa mansion nila sa Cavite. I bit my lips that was starting to tremble a bit now.I looked at our hands when Ash intertwined it an held my hand tightly. Like before, he caressed it that gaves me comfort. I exhaled and smiled at him."Let's go?" I nodded.Bahagyang nagulat ako ng sumalubong sa amin ni Ash ang mommy niya na nakangiti sa amin. Yinakap niya ang anak niya kaya't napa-iwas ako ng tingin at sinusubukang kumalas sa magka-salikop naming mga kamay pero humigpit lamang ang kapit ni Ash doon. Kinagat ko ang labi ko pero umayos din ng mapansing tinitingnan ako ng daddy ni Ash kalapit ng asawa niya."Yenjilane, hija. Kamusta ka na?" tanong niya sa akin. Napasulyap ako kay Ash at tinanguan niya lang ako. Sinasabing okay lang, at sumagot ako sa daddy niya.

Chapter: TUG: Chap 39WaffleLumipas ang ilang linggo at hindi ko alam kung bakit patuloy pa rin akong nililigawan ni Ash. Sabi niya'y hindi raw siya titigil sa panliligaw kahit anong mangyari.I am on my apartment here in Cavite again. Still busy replying to our clients for some renovations, meetings with clients, and such. Ang sakit na nga ng mata ko dahil kanina pa akong nakaharap dito sa computer ko.Nag-ring ang phone ko kaya't napatigil ako sa pagti-tipa at tinanggal muna ang salamin sa mga mata ko.Tumatawag si Ash. Bumuntong-hininga ako at sinagot ang tawag niya."Hello.""Are you in your apartment today?" tanong niya. Sumandal ako sa upuan ko at nag-unat."Oo. Busy ako. Bakit?""Nothing. I'm just checking. You have your period this week. What do you want to eat?" kumunot ang noo ko. At napatingin sa kalendaryo. Tama siya. Mero

Chapter: TUG: Chap 38Pipilitin"Oh, Jorise! Yiesha nandito na si Jorise!" tawag ni mama kay ate na nasa taas."Magandang umaga po, tita," bati ni Jorise at nag-mano kay mama.Bumuntong-hininga ako at kumuha ulit ng popcorn sa mangkok na hawak ko dahil nanonood ako ng movie sa t.v namin. "Upo ka, Jorise. Teka't maglalabas ako ng makakain," anang mama at pumunta sa kusina.Tumingin siya sa akin bago umupo sa isa pang couch kalapit ko."Hello, Jorise. May date kayo ni ate?" tanong ko, nakatutok pa rin ang paningin sa palabas. Tumango siya at umayos ng upo."Yes. I think she's still dressing up," he told me and I nodded. "How's your work in Cavite?" biglang tanong niya sa'kin. Medyo close naman kami nitong magiging kuya ko eh.I smiled. "Ayos naman lang naman, kuya. Nakakapagod pero okay lang," tumango siya at para may sasabihin pa

Chapter: TUG: Chap 37Right time"U-Uh.. Ash!" I awkwardly laughed and quickly pay for the phone cases I bought and took it from the girl. "I'm really in a hurry. Bye!" I quickly walked away from him, getting stressed out and a bit tensed.My heart is still beating fast. I feel like it could go out of the rib cage in any minute because of it, pounding really hard."Yen!" I got goosebumps when I felt his cold hand held my elbows. I turned to him, nagtataka kung bakit tinawag niya ako. He bit his lip. "You.. forgot about this.." my eyes literally widened. Pakiramdam ko ay mahihimatay ako ano mang oras.It was his picture that I got out of my hold a few minutes ago!I shook my head. "T-That's not from me," I lied and looked away.His brows arched. "But I saw how this picture fell from your hand a while ago."I cleared my throat. "Why would I keep a pictur

Chapter: TUG: Chap 36Case"Ma.. uuwi na rin ako diyan. Siguro next week? Marami lang akong appointment kaya madalang na akong nakakabisita diyan," I explained through the call.I heard my mother sighed. "Sobrang tutok mo na sa trabaho, 'nak. Bawal bang mag-leave ka muna? Sobra ka ng napapagod diyan," she seems worried about me. I smiled and placed my phone between my shoulder and ear then I continued typing on my laptop."Okay lang ako, mama. Uuwi na rin naman talaga ako next week. Magpapahinga lang ako ng ilang araw bago pumunta diyan. Gusto ko na ring makita 'yang pina-renovate na bahay," I chuckled a bit."Oh, kakausapin ka raw ng papa mo--Yenjilane, anak?" napabuga ako ng hangin ng marinig muli ang boses ni papa. Nami-miss ko na sila. Sobra.Tuwing ika-dalawang b

Chapter: Chapter 6YetWe are in Nishiki Market now. When we entered, I can see different foods. It all craved me.There are mochi/s, Japanese black beans, Tako Tamago, Tanaka Keiran or Tamagoyaki and many more. I wrapped my scarf around my neck when it's started to be colder now. The cold breeze of the night here in Kyoto touched my face. And I can still feel the cold air soothing underneath my clothes."Alexa," I turned to Leomont when he called me. I raised my brows to ask what is it. He pointed the Tamago beside him."She doesn't like that food," Leomont and I glanced at Kian when he spoke."Oh, yeah, I don't know," Leomont said. I smiled at him apologetically. He just nodded. A mochi and an ice coffee popped up in front of my face. This was my favorites! I smiled and thanked Kian as I ate the mochi. But stopped when I saw Leomont's face. I can see sadness from his expression. My lips pursed before

Chapter: Chapter 5Join"Where are you going? You're leaving already?" Khairo asked. We stopped the moment of leaving the house. We didn't notice them in the kitchen! Damn it!I awkwardly laughed and turned to them. They are eating breakfast now."We have to do something in our apartment so.. we're leaving already. By the way, goodmorning," then I smiled. Leomont cleared his throat before he pointed the food on the table. I shook my hands saying that we're still full but my freaking stomach growled! I shut my eyes when I heard them chuckled."That's embarassing Zaiah.." Ruki said. I dodge her with my elbows. She laughed before pulling me towards the table. Tobi pulled a chair for us. We thanked him before starting to eat breakfast. I'm avoiding my gaze from them because i can still feel embarassment from them.There are bacons, milk, cup noodles and loaf bread in front of us. I decided to eat

Chapter: Chapter 4Sleepy"Here, use this," I shut my eyes."Thanks," I let out a force smile as I opened my eyes again. He just nod and walked out of the room. I looked at the jogging pants that he let me borrow to me. I don't have other choice but to wear it. I can't sleep comfortably when I'm not wearing any jogging pants when sleeping. I hate that habit! I sniffed on it and it smells so manly. I slapped my face."Your creepy Zaiah! You never have done that!" I scolded myself before wearing the pants.So, we really have nothing to do but to crashed here for tonight. I left my notebook at the apartment. Aish! I need to learn Japanese language. Maybe I can only do that on my phone."Do you need anything else?" Leomont asked. Ruki and I shook our heads. We're now at the living room of his friend's house."Oh, I almost forgot to introduce my friends," Leomont said. Ruki shifted on her se

Chapter: Chapter 3Crash"So.. you can speak english? You're a Japanese right?" Leomont asked Ruki. I almost rolled my eyes when I heard his voice again. They are just following me from the back because I was walking too fast. Tss.. we didn't finish to drink the beer because the closing time of the restaurant pressured us! It's unfair, we paid our bill so we have to drink all of that but Ruki keeps insisting that we should already leave because we are the only ones left at the resto. I deeply sighed.I rubbed both of my hands because it's too cold now. I heated it with my breathe. I forgot my scarf in the apartment and it's not helping me in a cold situation like this."Hey, are you cold? You can use my scarf," I stopped rubbing my hands when I heard his offer. I'm trying to be snob at him so I refused it even if I want his offer of his scarf."No, I said it's okay-hey!" I startled and my eyes widened w

Chapter: Chapter 2Damn, that's hot"Hey! Alexa! Wait!" I pulled Ruki. We were walking fast because of that guy, Leomont, keeps following us!"Ruki walk faster, please!" she nodded and walk faster. I shrieked when someone grabbed my wrist and stopped me from walking."What do you need?!" I yelled at him as I turned to face Leomont. He looks so shocked with my sudden reaction. What would he think my reaction will be? Happy that he catches us from running away from him? He's a stranger for god's sake! Does he think that I'll embrace him as he reaches us?"Uh.." he mumbled. I pulled out my wrist from his hold and wait for him to speak up. He looked down and back to my eyes. He was about to say something but he just shut his mouth and shook his head. My forehead creased and looked at my friend. She look at Leomont weirdly."Nothing.. Uh, goodnight," then he turned his back on us and started to wa

Chapter: Chapter 1Spotlight"Good afternoon, Miss Yokohama!" I greeted the owner of the bar when I entered. I was with my friend, Ruki and Kian."Oh, Good afternoon! Your performance will start twenty minutes from now, get ready," we nodded at what Yokohama said and headed to the backstage. There were ladies who will entertain the audience later. I winced at their outfit for tonight. They wore a black tight dress and a long neckline which somehow reveals their cleavage and their long legs which doesn't have their stockings. The girls have their thick make-ups on their face. I was still not used to their routines at night."Let's go Zaiah.." Ruki tugged my sweater. I nodded and followed her on the dressing room. Ruki and I was not the same as the girls were doing. We are just a singer here at the bar, we're not the one-night stand kind of girls.I wear a red velvet long sleeves mini skirt with a round n
