"Are you crazy?!" Kumunot ang noo niya matapos kong masigawan. Agad din naman siyang nakabawi at pinanlakihan ako ng mga mata. Mukhang nabasa na nito ang iniisip ko.  "Your wound is all that matter to me! What the hell are you thinking?" he replied, shouting. Humarap pa ito sa bandang kanan at bumulong. "That body doesn't even attracts me." Nakatingin lang ito sa bintana habang nakapamewang. Akala siguro niya hindi ko narinig iyon!  I looked down at my uniform and slowly unbottoned it. I know that my wound is now bleeding under this clothes. I can feel the wetness on my back. Muli akong tumingin sa kaniya. Mukhang naiinip na ito. I wonder why he's here with me. He can choose to leave and be with his friends already.  "Pwede ka nang umalis," I flatly said. "Don't tell me what to do." Inirapan ko ito matapos ang matigas na sagot niya. Hindi pa rin niya inaalis ang tingin sa bintana hanggang sa mahubad k

"Almost a month na tayo sa Herism pero yung plano natin, wala pa rin!"  "We are in the process, Megan," Alice replied.  We're heading to school. Kanina pa silang dalawa nag-uusap habang tahimik lang kaming dalawa ni Jinx. She's still silent. I remember what happened last night. She haven't escaped from our confrontation and just gave in.  I ran towards her and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to face me. "Speak or else I will acknowledge Uncle Greg," I warned her. Ibinaba niya ang tingin saka inilayo ang mukha. Pansin kong nag-aalangan siyang magsalita. Knowing them. Ayaw nilang may makarating kay Uncle na masamang balita. Alam nilang mamamatay sila kapag pumalpak ang plano.  "Oo... pinatay ko nga," tiim-bagang na pag-amin niya. "Hinipuan niya ako!" nanginginig na singhal niya sa akin. Naikuyom ko ang palad sa galit. Hindi ko na napigilang damputin ang bag sa tabi niya at ginamit panghampas sa kaniyang mukha. Bahagya si

Marahan kong binuksan ang pinto habang sinisilip kung nadyan pa ba siya sa labas. Nang makita kong walang bakas ng presensya niya, saka ako lumabas ng banyo. Di gaya kanina, may kaunting linawag ng araw nang pumapasok dito sa kwarto. Maliit lang naman ang siwang ng kurtina sa malaking bintana. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa buhol ng tuwalya habang papalapit sa damit na nakahandusay sa kama. His king size bed is now looking neat and clean. The navy black bedsheet gives contrast to the white pillows and comforter. Iyon nga lang, nakapagpagulo lang sa hitsura nito ang mga damit na hinanda ni Calter. Inangat ko ang white cotton t-shirt with words printed on the chest part says Givenchy Paris. Sunod ay ang black jogger pants. Oversized ang pang-itaas at sobrang haba naman ng pang-ibaba. Napangiwi tuloy ako nang maisip na magmumukha akong manang sa ganitong ayos. Then I suddenly paused, questions to myself immediately followed. Why am I here? Why am I doing all of these? Tama pa ba ang m

"Our society is ruled by money. You can't expect anyone even the authorities to honor their credibility and integrity. They are willing to lick your shoes if you are a cruel puissant one."That statement left a remark in my head. Mr. Scott at the other end of the table remain compose as he shower us his own beliefs about society."She wasted a kill. That boy was not even a friend of the target," Mr. Morgage scorned.I rolled my eyes at him. Bumaling ako kay Jinx na tuwid ang upo at matigas ang ekspresyon. Patungkol sa kaso niya ang usapan ngayon at minabuti na lang niyang manahimik dahil alam niya ang pagkakamali."Her case is clear now. The cops obliged to me," Mr. Scott replied.The truth about society is now finally revealed. People says no one is above law when in fact it's just a bluff. Maybe no one really is above law. People can't surpass the law. However, money can."No more impulsive move this time. You all need to work smart!" Mr. Morgage said.The tension in this conference

It was just a quick call. That's it. She ended it without even waiting for my reply. Tumakbo na ako papunta sa elevator at habang nasa loob, a banging sound bounced against the metallic walls of this lift. The sound came from the third floor, I'm sure. Ano nang nangyayari roon? A cold sweat fell down on my temple and I quickly wiped it away using the back of my hand. My grip tightened to the gun.  There's no room for quitters. Pagbukas ng elevator, tumambad sa akin ang tahimik at walang katao taong palapag. The intricate design on the walls and the warm lights, they are so elegant in my eyes. This french hotel earned 5 stars and here we are, making a huge scandal on top of it's name. Tumakbo na ako papunta sa gitnang pasilyo. Sunod-sunod lang naman ang bilang ng mga kuwarto kaya madali lang matunton ang room 201.  Sa pagliko ko sa isang pasilyo, may lalaking naglalakad papasalubong sa akin. He's in his mid 40's and wearing a
