Chapter: Chapter Nine"HI, this is Marie! Please leave a message after the beep. Beep." "Marie, please book me a ticket to Shandong right away. I mean it." I said before ending the voice message. Napapikit akong muli at ilang sandali bago muli akong nagmulat. Napabuntong hininga ako nang malalim at pinagmasdan ang dingding. Ilang oras na mula nang umalis si Fallon sa condo ko pero wala pa rin ako sa tamang wisyo. Paulit-ulit na nagplay sa utak ko ang mga salitang binitawan niya.My insides churned as I think of dark scenarios in my head. I feel so light headed right now. I don't think I have the strength to do the things I planned for this day. Ang kaninang sigla ko ay napalitan na lang ng pangamba

Chapter: Chapter EightMAYBE I am not really in good terms with lady luck. Maybe the odds aren't really in favor with me. Maybe I was really born to fuck up. Or maybe I just really ran out great cards today. I sighed as I looked at myself in my mirror. I did not just change, I already took a bath just to conceal the humiliation and stupidity I've felt earlier. Hinawi ko ang ilang hibla ng buhok na nakatabing sa mukha ko at inipit ito sa likod ng tenga ko. I changed into a silk tank top and ripped jeans. I don't know what to wear so I just lazily pulled this out of my wardrobe. Basa pa ang buhok ko at hinayaan ko lang. Muli kong tiningnan ang repleksyon sa salamin bago muling magpakawala nang malali

Chapter: Chapter Seven"WHAT did you do? Bakit hindi ka umiwas? Or you could've made excuses! Anong katangahang ginawa mo, Red?" I asked myself again. I look like stupid right now for repeating that same questions again and again. Halos i-untog ko na rin ang ulo ko dahil sa labis na pagka-inis sa sarili. Bakit ko hinayaang mapalapit siya sa akin? Bakit sobrang lapit niya? Oh, God! Ang tanga tanga! "Shit! Baka kung anong nasa isip niya ngayon! He could've think of me being so marupok! Why do you fuck up so good, Red?" Itinabon ko sa mukha ang unan at napatili na ako. Kanina pa ako nakarating sa condo ko at nagawa ko na

Chapter: Chapter SixRED was stunned before the man who offered her help. Halos manginig ang katawan niya dahil sa marahas na tambol ng puso niya. A notch formed in her stomach. Parang maduduwal din siya sa hindi malamang dahilan. But it is very evident that she will throw up because of so much fear caused by the man in front of him. Pero bakit naman siya matatakot kay Fallon? She isn't indebted to him anyway, to her knowledge at least. The last time she checked she wasn't indebted to anyone but the erratic beating of her heart tells otherwise. "Who are you?" she asked, her nose humped because of that lie. Fallon didn't answer her instead he took a step towards her making Red move back.

Chapter: Chapter FiveTATLONG araw nang hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Red. She felt grumpy all over. She never went out of her condo to start her "vacation" kuno na plinano ni Marie para sa kanya. Panay din ang iwas niya sa mga tawag ng kaibigan.Who wouldn't? Marie just threatened her. Mas malinaw pa sa sinag ng araw ang mga salitang binitawan nito."Kapag hindi ka pumunta sa airport bukas, just forget that we became friends!" banta nito bago siya padabog na binabaan ng tawag.She was stunned after that. Hindi siya makapaniwalang nagawa yun ng kaibigan. She was lost with words. Napakahirap ma-digest nang sinabi ni Marie.

Chapter: Chapter FourRED sighed deeply as she took out another resume coming from the pile of applicant's papers in her table. She is in need to find a new literary scout. Pang-24 na itong resume'ng binasa niya. She hated the fact that she needs to do the interview for the position. Ayaw naman niyang abalahin si Marie na kasalukuyang may tinatapos na manuscript for publishing. Mas importante iyon sapagkat matagal na rin itong pending.They're flooded with a lot of activities this month of June. Kabi-kabila ang mga publishing ng mga libro, magazines, and literary devices which they are responsible for. Mas nakilala ang kompanya niya and it really made her heart in a summersault.
