Meet me where time waits
—a #mikhaiah au

Wherein Yani Herrero, a cold girl who fears abandonment, finds herself growing close to the gentle yet persistent Charlie Duque—only for her to suddenly disappear and return years later with no memory of her.

Kulay Pink and Paborito Niya.

Ayoko ng paboritong kulay niya—
banayad na parang koloreteng ikinakalat ng umaga
sa pisngi ng langit bago tuluyang magising ang araw.
Isang kulay na hindi sumisigaw ng presensya,
ngunit marunong manatili.

Nakapagtataka lamang,
sapagkat kapag rosas ang usapan,
hindi ang pink ang una niyang hinahanap.
Asul ang pumupukaw sa kaniyang mga mata—
marahil dahil sa ganda nito,
o marahil dahil sa pagiging kakaiba,
tulad ng mga bagay na hindi madaling matagpuan
at mas lalong hindi madaling kalimutan.

Kulay pink ang paborito niya,
at marahil doon nanggagaling
ang lambing na nakatago sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga tawa,
ang init na dumadapo sa bawat salitang kaniyang binibigkas,
at ang gaan ng pakiramdam
na para bang may tahanang biglang umusbong
sa gitna ng isang karaniwang araw.

Hindi niya alam na sa tuwing nababanggit ang kulay na iyon,
hindi mga rosas ang naiisip ko.
Hindi rin ang mga ulap na pinipintahan ng dapithapon,
o ang mga talulot na unti-unting nilalagas ng hangin.

Siya.

Siya ang unang sumasagi sa isip ko—
ang paraan ng kaniyang pagngiti,
ang kinang ng kaniyang mga mata kapag may ikinukuwento,
ang maliliit na bagay tungkol sa kaniya
na hindi ko namalayang natutunan ko nang kabisaduhin.

Hindi niya alam na may mga pagkakataong
nakatingin lamang ako sa kaniya
na para bang isa siyang tulang hindi matapos-tapos basahin.
Bawat pahina ay may bagong dahilan upang manatili,
at bawat salita ay may bagong dahilan upang mahulog.

Marahil hindi niya kailanman malalaman
kung gaano ko gustong tumagal sa mga sandaling kasama siya.

At marahil ganoon talaga ang ilang damdamin—
hindi kailangang marinig upang maging totoo,
hindi kailangang masuklian upang manatiling mahalaga.

Kaya kung dumating man ang panahong
hindi na ako bahagi ng kaniyang mga araw,
kung ang mga kuwentong minsan naming pinagsaluhan
ay maging alaala na lamang ng nakaraan,

At kung dumating man ang oras na hindi niya na ako kailangan sa tabi niya, kulay pink ang paborito niya.

@icowrites book for a cause.

[Ico. @icowrites]

Together, they were known by the press as “The Eight Crowns”—the families whose wealth, influence, and legacy shaped an entire century. Yet even among them, one name stood above all others:

Astrid Huang, the daughter of the richest empire ever built.

[Ico. @icowrites]

The Multiple Partners of Astrid Huang
— a #mikhaiah au

Decades after becoming a powerful CEO, Astrid Huang (🐶) finally reveals the truth behind her empire, not the one in headlines, but the one built in silence.

The world knows her success, but not the girl she loved long before the wealth, and the one behind every sacrifice she made.

Kahit pala maging ako pa si John Lloyd, wala pa ring pag-asang maging tayo. Lalo na kung ang trip mo ay si Derek, hindi mo masusuklian ang pag-ibig kong inalay para sa'yo. Pero ayos lang, wala ka namang kasalanan. Kailan ma'y hindi pagkakasala ang katotohanang hindi mo ako mahal.
