IT WAS ALREADY the weekend. As promised kay Deon, I took him out. Una kaming pumunta siyempre sa may ospital ng papa ni Ross. He also met what he had promised. Pinadala niya talaga iyong mga pinangako niyang vitamins sa penthouse namin sa mga fae na nagtatrabaho sa Cavendish Suites.
According to the ultrasound results, our baby was safe and healthy. Bumalik na lang daw kami after two weeks dahil magiging 18 weeks nang buntis si Deon, and by then, we can find out the sex of our baby.
“Anong gusto mong kasarian ng baby natin?” Deon asked me as we strolled around the Lifestyle District of the Capital.
Hindi ako nakasagot agad kasi hindi ako makapili kung anong gusto ko. Ang hirap kasi, e. Basta isa lang ang alam ko. Kahit babae pa siya o lalaki o anumang gusto niyang maging, mamahalin ko pa rin siya nang buong-buo.
“Hindi ako makapili, e. Ang hirap… Basta love ko siya kahit ano pang gustuhin niyang maging. Ikaw ba?&r

I UTTERLY FELT like a loser in my stay at the Institute of Magis so far. I hope this would end so soon, but who on earth and Abseiles am I kidding? The failures I had committed in my classes amounted to almost fifty counts, almost half of my entire stay here.“Aɱűra Aɱűʝa!” I chanted the materializing spell but ended up making the cylinders in front of me explode.I looked at Madame Latakia apologetically before mumbling, “I’m sorry…”I saw her sigh and shook her head slowly. Argh! I already felt like a huge disappointment. Goddamnit!“NøĹ‹Éł Víʂʤa bøbἰr!” sigaw ko sabay turo no’ng hair stick ni Chadleen sa isa sa mga anino ni Professor Grimm na may mukha na pinagamit niya sa amin upang gawin ang enchantment exercise namin sa araw na iyon – ang magpatulog.I chanted the sleeping spell. Nagulat ako nang sobra dahil sa kasamaang palad, sa halip na patulug

AFTER OUR CLASS with Madame Latakia, I went to the comfort room to retouch. Nandoon pa rin iyong kaba ko sa tuwing pumapasok ako rito mag-isa dahil na rin sa fugly beast na ‘yon na na-encounter ko sa may state college noong nag-aaral pa kami ni Chadleen sa Sidero, but I can proudly say na I somewhat overcame that fear kasi kahit pumapalpak pa rin, at least, I already know how to magic now. I can somehow defend myself from him and others.When Lindsey and our other classmate, who called me tanga days prior to this day, barged inside the restroom, I did not mind them. I just continued putting on my favorite shade of lipstick, unbothered by their sickening presence.“Palpak na nga sa mga klase natin, may time pang magpaganda,” parinig no’ng isa, ni girl tanga, habang naghuhugas sila ng mga kamay nila sa tabi ko.Girl tanga tatawag ko sa kanya dahil bukod sa gigil pa rin ako sa kanya ay tinatamad ak

I SPENT THE whole night burning my midnight candles. I spent the entire night just studying because it will be our first periodical exam at the Institute of Magis tomorrow. Para sa bagsaking tulad ko, I have to do good with this one because it was the only way I could make up for all of my failures and mistakes in the class. Dito ko mapapatunayang may natutuhan din ako at kaya kong gamitin ang mga iyon sa tamang paraan. “Hindi ka pa ba matutulog?” tanong ni Deon sa akin. “Kailangan ko pang mag-aral para bukas,” sagot ko nang hindi tumitingin sa kanya. Masyado akong busy ngayon para tingnan pa siya. Kailangan ko talagang magpokus sa mga pinag-aaralan. I heard his footsteps away and out of our room. Baka may nakalimutan lang siya kaya lumabas. Tahimik kasi, e. I did not keep track of how long it took him to return. Basta pagbalik niya ay may dala na siyang isang baso ng gatas. Napaangat tuloy ako ng tingin sa kanya nang ilapag niya iyon sa ibab

IT WAS THE month of the acquaintance party. Ang tradition kasi sa Institute of Magis ay every after first periodical exam ang acquaintance party nang sa ganoon ay makapagpahinga rin ang parehong mga estudyante at propesor. I kept glancing at my Cartier wristwatch and drumming my fingers atop our table in the canteen where Ross and I were waiting for Chadleen to arrive. It was past twelve in the afternoon, and I am already famished. Where on Abseiles was she, really? I stopped drumming my fingers and asked in an irritated tone, “What’s taking her so long? Goodness, I’m already starving!” Ross only glanced at me for a second then resumed typing on his phone. I know it was Ruby Lane again. “Why don’t you just eat there? I bet Chadleen was still with the whole committee for the preparation for the nearing acquaintance party,” said he. “She should eat, too.” “Just take your lunch, Ge. I’m sure hindi naman siya pababayaan ni

IF TRUTH BE told, sobrang kabado ako today. Actually, every time naman na pupunta kami sa doktor para magpa-check up sa kalagayan ni Deon at ng baby namin sa ospital nina Ross. Napapraning talaga ako kasi baka napaano na iyong baby namin, o baka may nararamdaman si Deon na hindi maganda pero hindi niya lang sinasabi sa akin dahil marahil natatakot siya o nahihiya. Hindi ko talaga alam basta kabado ako sa tuwing ginagawa namin ‘to.Napatingin ako kay Deon nang abutin niya ang kaliwang kamay ko at hawakan. He was already lying on the hospital bed while the sonographer was preparing everything for the ultrasound.“Ayos ka lang ba?” tanong niya.Tumango naman ako bilang tugon. I then breathed to calm myself down.“Ganito pala ‘yong feeling ng mga normal na tatay kapag sinasamahan nila ang mga partner nilang buntis. Gosh, nakakakaba na… nakaka-excite.”Apart from being nervous, I was also

WE INFORMED MY whole family about it. Iyong sinabi lang namin ay alam na namin ang kasarian ni baby. They did not let me finish because they said na they wanted to know the baby’s sex in a reveal party. Yes, my family was planning a sex reveal party, and they were all coming to Abseiles over the weekend to celebrate with us.“Just prepare all the things we will be needing there already, sweetie. Malapit na kami. It’s only five minutes away before midnight. Lilitaw na rin iyong Grimm Express ilang sandali na lang,” mommy said through the video call.Sumingit naman si Mignonette sa video upang ngitian ako at kawayan. “Ate Gelou! Can I see my pamangkin?”Mommy and I both chuckled at that. Kung mayroong isa pang pinaka-excited sa paglabas ng baby namin bukod sa amin siyempre ni Deon, iyon ay paniguradong ang first-time little tita na si Mignonette. Ang cute-cute lang ng baby sister ko. Makurot nga siya nang bongga

IT HAD BEEN days since dad and I talked, but I am still bothered as hell because of it. Nahihirapan ako kasi hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. I wanted to ask Chadleen about what happened to Tito Khalil and her mortal mother kaso ay natatakot ako sa kung anumang malalaman ko. Kung oo, gagawin ko rin ba at bibitiwan si Deon; kung hindi naman, handa na ba akong suwayin ang pamilya ko? Ang hirap; ang gulo. Hindi ko alam kung saan talaga ako dapat lumugar.“May napili ka na bang susuutin sa acquaintance party?”“Ha?” tanong ko naman pabalik nang matauhan.Pagbaling ko sa kanila ay agad kong nakasalubong ang nag-aalalang mga tingin nina Ross at Chadleen. I almost forgot that we were actually inside one of the malls owned by the Cavendish. Dito kami dinala ni Ross para sa last minute na pamimili at pagpapalit ng mga susuutin namin sa acquaintance party which will be held the next day.“May problema ba, Ge? You seemed p

KAHIT NA NATANONG ko na ay wala pa rin ni isa ang sumagot sa kanila. Binalot lang kaming lahat ng katahimikan. Napapikit ako sa inis. Medyo nauubos na talaga ang pasensya ko sa lahat at lalo na ngayong ganito ko pa dinatnan ang penthouse at si Deon. Delikado iyong kalagayan niya! Jusmiyo!“I said, what the fuck happened here?” madiing tanong ko pagdilat ko ng mga mata ko. “At saka bakit nandito kayong dalawa ni Felix?”Napairap naman si Ruby Lane bago ako sinagot. “He forced me to join him in coming here!”“Akala ko ba bawal ang mga mortal dito sa Abseiles?” asked Chadleen who was still not over her shock.Obvious namang hindi mortal si Felix base na rin sa nasaksihan naming lahat na nagawa niya kanina.“Hindi ako mortal. I’m an Inkheart,” seryosong giit pa nito. “I came from the beast kind who can make their tattoos alive.”“Hindi ikaw ang t
