"You're still there, right?"
Kahit hindi nakikita ni Mama, tumango ako at lalong pinagdikit ang mga hita. Ganoon na rin ang mga paa ko sa sahig at ang isang kamay sa aking tandayan.
"Opo. Medyo... uh... tinanghali na po kasi ng gising."
Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa gilid ng kama ni Zaro. Makalipas ang ilang taon, ngayon na lang ulit ako nakapasok dito. There are some changes, but the ambiance here is still the same. Comfy yet masculine at the same time.
"You must be really tired," ani Mama sa kabilang linya.
Kahit alam kong walang malisya ang sinabi ni Mama, uminit nang husto ang pisngi ko sa kung anong dahilan.
"M-Marami kasing iniinisip kagabi kaya po napuyat ako..."
It's partly true, though. But I know where the lie is. Kinagat ko nang mariin ang pang-ibabang labi habang abala sa pagbubura ng kaisipang iyon.
Mula sa kanyang walk-in closet, natanaw

For a couple of days, I felt so magical and euphoric.Kahit papano ay napapagtagpi-tagpi ko na rin ang mga pinag-usapan noong araw na iyon. Who would have thought that Senyor Danilo's impeccable intellect was bestowed by Mama before?The Superiors of Aurdel have the prowess to endow or grant prominent humans a gift that they deserve. Our ancestors helped and protected Castel and Casteleños. But not until whe

My mind was unstable at that moment of time. I was temporarily put in the convoy truck, surrounded by our men.Dumating ang mga pulis at agad sinarado ang crime scene. Napalilibutan ng tao ang paligid. Kinuha rin ang note sa akin dahil kailangan

Chapter 43VicissitudesHabang binabalagtas ang tahimik at sagradong pasilyo ng establisyimento, nanumbalik sa akin ang mga sinabi ni Mama dati."They have no other choice but to cooperate with us with all honesty.""How are you so sure that... they won't betray us? After all, Duccio is a Castellano. The blood running through their veins is the same. Hindi rin malabo na ulitin nila ang ginawa niya noon sa atin!""I can sense it, Saki. At masasabi kong mayroon tayong alas na hawak laban sa kanila. Kaya sa oras na magkagipitan, malaki ang mawawala sa pamilyang Castellano..

Chapter 44ProphecyIt was a tragic sight to witness. After Mr. Lopena's resolute plea, we didn't waste any more time.Agad nilipat si Janine sa pinakamalapit na guest room. Somehow, our household is prepared for this. Kahit ako ay nabibigla habang pinapanuod ang lahat ng nangyayari sa paligid. As if I am the only one alarmed because they all seemed apt and ready for this day.Sometimes, my eyes would come across Janine's direction. I think she's unconscious and her life is already at stake, barely breathing.But whenever I catched myself looking, I'd always look away instantly, afraid that glimpsing at her would aggravate her ailment."Ako na muna rito. Sumama ka na lang kina Mama sa study area," utos ni Ate.Tumango ako at iniwan na muna sila ni Kobe roon kasama ang mga Aurdel na tauhan sa mansiyon ng mga Lascano.Sumunod ako kina Mama. I saw how Mr. Lopena lost himself while li

Chapter 45UnitedEyes. Eyes are the windows to your soul... that's what they told me.It's been ages. Many years have passed away, but I still wonder what my soul looks like. Is it pure, sweet, solemn, radiant, and innocent? Or is it... dark, violent, murderous, and shameful?I wanted to know. I still want to know...I was curious about my own soul and essence. About my purpose. But sadly, even if there's someone willing to glimpse through the window, fear would overtook their faces.Or worse, they die...Umukit ang mapait na ngiti sa akin nang muling binalikan ang lahat.Iyong mga panahong musmos pa lang. Tanging problema lang ay tumakas tuwing Sabado o Lunes para masaksihan ang pagsikat ng araw.O hindi kaya'y ang mga ganid na tao na gusto raw, hindi umano, na kunin ang mga mata ko kaya dapat ay laging suot ang artipisyal na maskara.Thinking about trivial things

Epilogue (1 of 2)"Dibs on the girl, man."Malayo pa lang pagkatapos kong siguraduhing nakapasok na sa mansiyon ang batang babae, nagpantig agad ang tenga ko sa bungad ng kaibigan.Fablo lifted his glass while leaning on the post lazily. He saw the entire thing from the distance, me scolding the little girl to go back to her room. I knew he was watching us.Umismid na lang ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad."Stay away from the little girl," I warned when I got closer to him.He laughed cockily. Akala ata'y nakikipagbiruan ako."Oh, man. Little girl my ass! Did you see her? Dude, she's a lady! A very fine lady. I haven't seen any woman that shy and reserved. Only her, man!" He chortled like a horse. "I'll make her scream like an actual woman, you'll see."He grinned smugly as he played with his glass, like he's already plotting his plans inside his insignificant skull.By that, I tasted an

Epilogue (2 of 2) "I'm sorry, Liz, but I can't. I have a lot of things to take care of. I have plans and..." Umiling ako at bumuntong-hininga. "I can't come with you..." She stood and her eyes flared at me. "You will, Zaro! Akala ko ba mahalaga ako sayo? Akala ko mahal mo ako? This is just a small thing to-" "Matagal ko nang nilinaw kung ano tayo, Eliza. Alam mo kung hanggang saan ka lang." She was being uncontrollable and hysterical. Iyon ang nabuo sa isipan ko. I know she's going through a lot of pain but I don't think it should be a license to hold someone by the neck. I will help, that's not a question

The other girls giggled with her as they flocked to my table.Our break time just started and they're already here to pester me like the usual. I frowned more as I glanced over my shoulder to see if it's true.But then I realized, Moma gave me a red underwear. I laughed kasi may naisip na response doon."That's bad.
