STORY #1

"TRUTH AND LOVE"

 Long time ago, a cute and kind boy named Balanar lived in Cebu. He was the ultimate heart rob in the town. One day, as he passed the black market located in the high mountain of Buhisan, he saw a beautiful lady named Traxex selling red roses. Balanar asked the beautiful lady, "How much are the roses?" Traxex replied, There's a label beside the roses and I think that's the price. Balanar just smiled and bought a boquet of flowers and then went home.

 When he came home, he surprised his mother and gave the boquet of flowers. It was his mother's birthday. Balanar prepared some  for the little celebration.

"Thank you SK much son," his mother said.
"Happy birthday mom," Balanar replied. I want you to be happy. Dad had already passed away and now you are the only thing I have and I want you to be happy as long as I lived. His mother cried and they hugged each other.

 In the morning, his mother asked him to buy some rice in the black market. As Balanar crossed the way to the store, he saw Traxex smiling at him. He suddenly stopped and sat beside Traxex.

"Hey, how are you?" Balanar said.
"I'm fine," Traxex replied. I'm sorry about yesterday. I was just not in the mood.
"It's okay, no worries. Ahm, may I know your name?", Balanar answered.
I'm Traxex, and you?, Traxex said.
" I'm Balanar, its nice to meet you!"

 Starting on that day, Balanar and Traxex became friends. They spent a lot of time together.

In Bojo river, Traxex had something to tell Balanar.

"Balanar, I'm a single mom. I was rape victim when I was 16. I'm sorry".
It's okay. I don't care about your past. I found you nice and sweet and nothing's changed. I love you Traxex, Balanar replied.

Traxex answered, " thank you Balanar. I lobe you and I will always do".

 They hugged each other so tight. Suddenly their eyes met. They rays of the setting sun feel brightly upon them. They buried  in the river and firmly hold their hands as they swam.

At night, Balanar brought Traxex to their house.

Good evening mom, this is Traxex my girlfriend.

Good evening Tita, Traxex added.

Why are you so wet? Mother replied. "Come take some towels and dry yourselves. I will prepare coffee and food for you to eat".

Both of them just smiled. As they finished eating, Balanar's mother asked Traxex something. " How old are you, hija?"

I'm 22 tita, Traxex replied. "Actually tita, I lived in Buhisan, I am the only daughter of my parents and my father had just passed away last month".

I'm sorry to hear that hija, Balanar's mother replied.

 As the conversation got longer, Traxex told the truth that she was a rape victim when she was 16 years old and was shocked by Balanar's mother's reaction.

 Balanar's mother hugged her. " I was once a rape victim too hija. I knew what you felt and I was amazed of your loyalty and strength. I adore you, hija".

 Traxex replied, "thank you tita. Me too, I was amazed because Balanar grew up with love and respect.

Three months later, Balanar and Traxex had their wedding. Both of them were so happy. Traxex surprised Balanar....

" Babe, I have something to tell you".
What is that babe? Balanar asked.
"I'm pregnant, babe.!" Traxex answered.

No words can explain how happy Balanar was at that time. They live happily. Balanar and Traxex decided to live in one house with their parents.

The truth makes you free! GOD bless everyone, have a good day.
