CHAPTER 20.1
Stanley’s POV'
Naneun uli byeong-won ogsang-ui benchie anj-a issneun geos-eul boassda [ I saw myself sitting on a bench in a rooftop of our hospital.]. The view of the breathtaking buildings in the city of Manila can be seen here. I light up my dambae [ cigarette ] as the night sky, together with the glowing stars, surround the big and vast moon. It looked like a masterpiece, a painting on a canvas.
The chilling breeze of the night sent me shivers, it was a good thing that the view is aesthetically pleasing, I can still handle the cold. My shoulders rose slightly when someone spoke behind me. "Nandito ka lang pala. Kanina pa kita hinahanap."
I didn't look at her and just looked down at the colorful lights in the city of Manila. I even saw the familiar diner logo. The red bee which is the children's favorite? Jollibee? Yeah. I guess so.
I've b
CHAPTER 20.1 “Niente mi manchi e basta, [ Nothing, I just miss you.]" I jokingly said and forced laughed. Once again, I drink from the can in my hand and at the same time, threw him a glance. He is staring at me with a disgusted look plastered on his. What the hell is wrong with this man? "Punk pazzo [ Crazy punk ] ." Accidenti [ Geez, Gosh], Ever since the beginning, he is useless to talk with. He is too silent and serious, characteristics that are opposite of what I possess. He reached for the plastic bag and also got something to drink. He did the same and used his index finger to open the beer in can. He took a sip from the beer, eyes focused in front. What was he thinking? He seems drowning in his own thoughts. I stared at my frattelo’s face, I noticed that the light emitted from his eyes were gone. It was as if the joy in his eyes were sucked out. He’s way too dif
Disguise 12: Minger And Chiflado. Stasia’s POV' "My son will be here in about a minute." I froze on my seat. His heir will come here? But why? What will that man do here? A series of jolts interfered in my whole system, making me feel shitty, even I cannot explain what the hell I am feeling. My heart raced, it beat so fast as if there were drums in my ears. My stomach feels weird! Is this what they call 'butterflies in the stomach'? Ridiculous! Why am I reacting in such a way? I should feel nothing, all of these are so sudden. I really don’t understand. 'Shit? What the hell is happening to me? Am I bewitched? Is this some kind of sorcery? All of my systems are reacting, right from my nervous system all t
DISGUISE 13: PART 1: Bump Inspector Santos II POV' Sinuyod ko ng tingin mula sa labas ang mala- Harvard na eskwelahan ng pinakamayaman dito sa Pilipinas, mula sa makabagong teknolohiyang ginamit hanggang sa pagtatayo ng magandang pasilidad. Dahil din sa magandang pamamalakad sa eskwelahan ay mahahalata mo na talagang nag-uumapaw ang pera sa bulsa ng mga nag-aaral dito. Ilang araw kong pinag-isipan ang gagawin ko. Noong una ay ayaw ko pang maniwala dahil ayaw ko namang mapunta ang paghihirap ko sa wala. Ginugol ko ang oras ko sa pananaliksik tungkol sa kanila, kung sino man sila. Malaking tulong na rin ang isang ‘di kilalang mensahe na natanggap ko, nakalagay doon ang ilang palatandaan kung sino
CHAPTER 22.1: PART 2"Teka aalis ka na? It’s too early para sa training mo," takang tanong niya nang makita nitong handa na akong umalis."Kailangang mas mauna ako sa kanila, nakakahiya naman kung mahuhuli ako sa klase," I uttered as I grab my things and started heading out."Hay nako, Stasia napakabait mo talaga 'no? Siguro yung mga magulang mo sobrang tuwa dahil may mabait silang anak na tulad mo." Sabi nito habang inaabot ang sipilyo pati na rin ang toothpaste sa lababo.My face went blank. I was caught off guard as she said those. Parents? Proud? I can’t even imagine them being proud of me. My face suddenly went blank."Hindi nam
DISGUISE 14: Chiflado. “You are 1 minute and 1 second- no, erase that, 1 minute and 2 seconds late, Minger.” I froze upon hearing his chilling voice. What a warm welcome. Speaking of the Devil, the Chiflado is earlier than I thought. Mariin akong napapikit at umaktong natatakot at dahan-dahang humarap sa kanya. Napasinghap ako ng hangin nang magtama ang mga mata namin. May kung anong enerhiya ang nagpatigil ng aking paghinga nang magtama ang aming mga mata. I feel like a bucket of ice-filled cold water was poured on top of me, minus the obvious shivers of course, but my knees are already getting weak. I really don’t under
DISGUISE 15: Weakness part. FLASHBACK Year, 2013. PALA SYO DE MONDRAGON. "Anastasia!!!" I was awakened by a very loud scream coming from the outside of my room. I lazily opened my eyes and stretched my body while still under the comfort of the white sheets. "Get your fucking ass out here!" I immediately jumped off the bed when I realized it was the booming voice of my father, he was probably mad. I quickly tossed and got out of my bed, putting my soft sleepers on before standing. I hurriedly got out of my room to head to my father’s loca
DISGUISE 16: Supremo. I grabbed the bottle of water on top of the table. I'm panting so hard because of our training. He tortured me hard and take note, he hasn't given me a break even just to drink water. I quickly took off the cap and drank on it directly. I poured it on my mouth and drank all of its contents in order to quench the thirst I am feeling. Oh~ sh*t. Para akong hindi nakainom ng ilang taon. Dahil sa sobrang tuyong-tuyo kong lalamunan. Para itong isang disyerto na hindi nakaranas ng ulan sa loob ng mahabang taon. I finished all the water in just one drink and dumped it in the nearest garbage can.
DISGUISE 15: Picture Frame. When I came out of the dorm, I immediately saw Ibarra waiting for me. He is wearing his usual black tux and his hair was brushed neatly. He bowed in front of me and said that he would accompany me to my first class wherein I would be with the members of the Raizel Knights. His style never changed, it seems like he always wear this suit as his uniform. Well, it fit him nicely. "Magandang gabi, binibining Stasia. Umaasa akong naging maganda ang iyong tulog," napakagalang na bati nito habang nakayuko sa akin. Kaya siguro Ibarra ang ipinangalan sa kanya dahil makata ito kung magsalita. Para itong nagmula sa panahon ng mga Espanyol. Kaya rin Ibarra ang tinawag na pangalan sa kanya sapagkat bihasa ito sa paggamit ng wikang Pilipino. Ito ang kadalasang ginagamit niyang lengwahe sa tuwing nagsasalita ito. Lalo na kapag kausap niya ang Hari at maski sa ibang tao. Ayon sa impormasyong nakasaad sa
