Chapter 15
I haven't talked to Astrid since yesterday. She looked so tired and still in nit mood to talk to me the moment I woke her up after I dropped her off yesterday. I missed three calls from Lia. I just sighed, thinking what was up to her. I mean, I was hoping that I was wrong since she knew from the very start that it is Astrid, only her. And I did not want everything to be awkward between us.
"You mean, you did not notice it even before?" Orion chuckled a bit while still nailed his gaze in the pack of potato chips he was about to open, but refuse to as I threw him my indignant stare. He probably remembered how I abhorred whenever he brought and ate anything inside my room.
"It was Ashton whom she likes, right?" I rolled my eyes and opened the chips he was holding earlier and handed them back to him, which made him smile so sheepishly."She probably accepted the fact that she can't be with him. And

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "It is good to see you again. Can I sit here with you?" That man struck a chord with me. It seemed to me that I had seen him before. He gave me a bright smile that made me remember when was the last time I saw him. He was the guy I bumped into one morning on the campus and accidentally been poured out the coffee on his jersey because of me. Unlike before, some of the strands of his hair were still a bit wet and looked as if he just got out from the bathroom, but already wearing his blue jersey short and a white shirt that has a tiny printed 'Z. X. Harris' on the upper left side of his shirt was hard not readable especially when you were far from him. I stood as I realized that he was actually waiting for me to at least say yes. "Yeah, sure. I mean, I don't mind." He gently run his hand on

ASTRID TALITHA'SPOINT OF VIEW After class ended, when everyone in the classroom was making their way out of the door painted in brown, and Orion hastily placed a kiss on my forehead and waved a goodbye telling me that he needed to go home early since this weekend will be the birthday celebration of his younger sister, Sani, I saw Kolten still sitting at his desk as I came back from the restroom. He did not even look in my direction as I was making my way going to my desk right next to his to get the book I left. His jaw tightened and slowly chewed his gum before he faced me with his tranquil gaze. "Can we talk now?" I heard his sincerity in his tone. I just looked away and just got my book that was on my desk before turning mine against him. I looked back at him as I held the doorknob. "How long should I wait for you outside?" I saw a sudden change in his expression and hastily grabbed his

ASTRID CALLIOPE'S POINT OF VIEW I was gradually awoken by the warm rays of sunlight that were filtering into my room as a gentle wake-up call. As I was visited the kitchen, I saw the breakfast was already ready. Ashton already prepared my meal this morning, before he went to the office as he was about to attend a seminar for the new program proposed by one of the business units assigned in the accounting department with accordance in sustaining the high status of the sales during these past few months after the new product of our company had been launched. I really commended him for being so hardworking. He even managed to be on the top rank in their campus despite the fact that he was actually the one who manage some branches of our business here. I never hear him complaining regarding this matter. I found him so dishy, and I really see how good he was in everything that he does, just like Dad. "Don't forget

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Hello, Sani! Did you enjoy your party?" she was already wearing her pajamas while combing her hair as she was sitting in Orion's bed. She gave me a genial smile and cheerfully nodded her hair. "I really did! By the way, have you been to a theme park before?" She asked from nowhere that made me give her a perplexed glance before reluctantly nodding my head as a response to him. She let me see the storybook she was holding, and I saw how she struggled on turning it to another page, which made me decide to sit beside her to help her out. As I turned it, I saw a big picture of a theme park. "Do you wanna visit a theme park?" She was looking at it passionately. I took a glance on the right side and seemed like thinking carefully before giving her an answer. She looked like Auntie. I suddenly remember when Orion told me that he made her cry as he pinched her cheeks when Auntie asked him to look for he

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW "How was Grandpa?" I hardly closed my eyes as I heard her sigh on the other line. She might be having a hard time keeping it all by herself. Mom did not want anything that was happening in our family to affect our academic performance. Ashton used to tell me to call Mom much often. "He will be going to be okay. Let's just pray even harder, okay? By the way, don't forget to have your breakfast, okay. Your grandpa told me last night that he will cook for you the next time you visit here." I hardly swallow and tried not to hear her in my sobs. "Can you hug him for me?" I heard him burst into crying. Our conversation lasted for about an hour, and it was good that my class will begin later this afternoon.

KOLTEN ZEDEKIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I began to be familiar with the smell of sickly hospital scent and pungent of the hospital disinfect as Orion and I used to visit Uncle. Astrid never left his side from the moment we got at here, she was just sitting and kept on holding his hand even if he was still in his deep nap as the medicine had its effect on him. She was looking at his dad the same as we arrived here after our class at exactly 3:00 in the afternoon up until approximately three hours had been passed. I rarely saw her smiling this past few days. As I was getting the book I borrowed on her in her apricot shoulder bag when I left mine in my vintage brown study table inside my room, I saw the five bars of chocolate in its pocket, signifying that she did not have eaten the chocolate I gave her since Monday which was rea

ASTRID TALITHA'S POINT OF VIEW As I was entering the white iron gate of our campus, I heard the murmurings of other students who were roaming around, and most of them were probably juniors. Their attentions were nailed into the banner that was hanging in the entrance. It was gigantic that it was impossible not to be noticed. It was indicating that the intramural week was just around the corner. It was celebrated before the semester ends. It was the week everyone's waiting since there were lots of activities and sports competitions among different departments. I could see how excited they were. "Good morning, Astrid! It's good to see you this early." Lia wrapped her both arms around mine while handed two paper bags. I casually smiled and just listened to the description of the face masks she bought in the mall yesterday. She looked so jubilant and looking forward to using it later before she go to sleep. "Have this, Astrid! I ac
