FREE PHILLIAN ZODIAC
Reads
Free Phillian Zodiac is a frustrated painter and a full-time fisherman. Mula gabi hanggang madaling araw ay nasa gitna ito ng karagatan kasama ang mga tauhan para mangisda, at sa umaga naman ay tulog at nagtatago sa araw. In the afternoon, when the sky is red, he would go out of his room and sit on his veranda overlooking the mountains and the sea, and from there, he would start painting. He paints everything his eyes could see, and not a lot of people know this. Isang hapon, habang nasa veranda siya ng kaniyang silid at ipinipinta ang karagatan ay may nakita siyang palutang-lutang na kahoy sa dalampasigan. Using his binoculars, he learns that it isn't just a piece of wood but a raft with a person on it. An unconscious--probably almost dead person who might need some help. Naisip niyang baka isa iyon sa mga mangingisdang nagkaroon ng aksidente sa gitna ng karagatan. At dahil siya ang nakakita ay responsibilidad niyang tulungan ang taong iyon, lalo at nasa bahagi ito ng beach na pag-aari na ng pamilya niya. Nang marating niya ang baybayin ay saka niya napagtantong hindi mangingisda ang naroon, but a woman wearing a bridal gown. Nakadapa ito at nanginginig sa lamig. He saved her and brought her to his place. His female assistant nursed her, and when she woke up the next morning, she claimed to have no memory of the night before. Pero totoo ba talagang wala itong maalala? Or it was just part of her MO?

Letters and Tears

Kelly was a shy lady who had tough times at school because she was being bullied, made fun with, and treated like an outcast. Every girl in her class hated her for no apparent reason. Until this transfer student from the US came and pointed out why; Kelly was disliked by other girls because she was effortlessly beautiful inside and out. Brad Craig was that guy. Hunk, hot, heavenly. And he had his eyes only for this shy lady who had no idea how beautiful her heart was. They were neighbors who became best friends. And as months went by, they eventually fell for each other and became lovers. Kelly thought she would never be lonely again because Brad was there to love and support her. But then, a phone call from the US ruined her fantasies. Brad was called on to join the US Marine Corp-- one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. It was their family tradition to serve the nation, and Brad had no choice but to comply. Due to the danger he would be facing, he asked Kelly to forget him and move on with her life. He couldn’t just let her wait for him to come home from war; it would be impractical. But Kelly refused to forget and let go of him. She insisted to wait. She made him promise to come back to her and she promised to patiently wait until it happens. During those months that they were apart, they would write letters for each other; letters of promises and love. They both knew that one day, when Brad was done serving his country, he would come back and they would be together again. Sadly… it didn’t happen.

This time, he showed no interest to Yarri anymore. Ang masama pa ay kailangan nilang magsama sa iisang bahay, sa iisang bubong.
