PROLOGUE

"Anong chapter ka na?" Ibinaba ko ang binabasa kong libro sa aking kandungan, "Malapit na ako sa Epilogue! yey!" magiliw kong tugon kay Elouise. Napahawak ako sa buhok ko nang umihip ang malakas na hangin sa gawi namin ng mga kaibigan ko. Huminga ako ng malalim habang nakaupo kami sa damuhan at pinagmamasdan ang malawak na bukirin dito sa aming lugar. Tuwing hapon, pagkatapos ng klase at pagkagaling sa eskwelahan ay dito kami tumatambay. "Duda akong hindi mo muna binasa iyong Epilogue bago ang prologue, Lodicakes" natatawang sabi sa akin ng isa sa mga kaibigan ko, si Eris. Okay, she got me! Malakas na tumawa si Kim, "Sigurista kasi si Ryll! takot mamatayan ng character! 'di ba Judy?" ani nito

CHAPTER 1

"Shuta, ang sikip," Napapikit ako ng mariin habang nakasakay sa masikip na LRT. After graduating with flying colors, ngayon ang unang araw namin sa work sa Publishing Company. Dapat talaga sasabay ako kay Elouise pero hindi sya sumasagot sa tawag or text ko. Kahit sa messenger or instagram, wala! Mukang tinanghali na naman s'ya ng gising. Samantalang, unang araw ng trabaho namin ngayon sa Novia Publishing Company. Aba't mukhang pa chill chill lang s'ya ah! Sana all! I just wore tight jeans and a collared blouse, paired with flat doll shoes, and small stoned earrings. Di na'ko nag abala pang magsuot ng necklace, baka ma-snatch lang. Sayang lang. Masikip pa naman dito. Hindi ko na rin binalak pang mag skirt. Ang hassle saka masyadong easy access sa mga manyak.

CHAPTER 2

Nauna na akong lumabas nang elevator. I stopped and looked in awe. Elouise already walked passed me. I immediately follow him and let my eyes wander again. Habang naglalakad, halos mabali na ang leeg ko kakatingin sa paligid. Wow. This is amazing. We stopped infront of a huge office. My mouth gaped open when Elouise knocked and just went in! Nag antay s'ya sa hamba ng pintuan habang hawak ang door handle. Nang napansin n'yang nagdadalawang isip pa ako kung papasok ba o hindi, tinaasan nya ako ng kilay. What the hell?! Napaka walanghiya ng lalakeng ito! Kahit sobrang kinakabahan, wala akong choice kung hindi ang pumasok. Ta-da! And we just entered the C.E.O's office! At ng walang pak

CHAPTER 3

Napakurapkurap ako at buong lakas kong tinulak palayo ang swivel chair nya kasama sya. Nakatulala ako habang dinadama ang mabilis na tahip ng aking puso. Could you please fucking stay still heart?! "Can't stand an eye contact with me anymore, eh?" He whispered to me so that no one would be disturbed by our so called quarrel. "Stop it, you're so annoying," I gave him a deathly glare. Elouise chuckled and returned to his table. Medyo natatawa pa sa nangyari. "What? you started it first!" sabi niya pa. Inirapan ko lang siya. I wore my I.D and chose one of those thick manuscripts that was given to me and just focused on it. &

CHAPTER 4

"Shit, that dream again," napabalikwas ako ng bangon habang hinahabol ang aking hininga. Ever since I was a teen, I started to have anxiety attacks and bad dreams. I always dreamt of someone who doesn't have a face. His face was blank. And that someone would chase me, of course I'll run because I am scared of what he could do if ever he catch me. At kapag nahabol na n'ya ako at akmang sasaksakin na gamit ang dala n'yang kutsilyo, bigla nalang bumubukas ang mga mata ko. I would always wake up in the morning, panting because of that nightmare. My family doesn't know that I am having this kind of situation. Even my friends. Hindi naman kasi nila ako tinatanong. Ugali ko na talagang kapag hindi nila tinatanong, hindi ako nagsasabi. I don't want to burden them just because I'm a mess inside. I know I always saying that 'I hate liars' but, I think I didn't lie tho. They didn't a

CHAPTER 5

"It's weekend, come on! let's go to Zambales!" It was a stressful week. So I think I need to unwind. Ang bahay ng tiyahin ko ay malapit lang sa dagat. Walking distance only, actually. It's a good thing we're having a face time right now so I told them my idea. Tumingin ako kay Elouise na nasa tapat ko lang. Nandito kami sa may center table sa may sala. Naka indian sit kami, dala ang mga laptop namin. It was literally a face time for us. Eris grinned excitedly on the screen. "Now, that's a great idea what are we waiting for? let's go! I need a break too!" All of them agreed. Magkikita kita nalang kami rito sa condo, after 2 hours. Then we're off to go. Ito ang patunay na lahat ng biglaang lakad, natutuloy. Nag prepare na rin kami ng mga dadalhin namin. Like, food, beverages, tents m

CHAPTER 6

That weekend was a blast! Lahat kami nag enjoy. It was so refreshing and tiring at the same time. I hope we could stay like that forever, but of course we need to go back. Disappointment was dripping inside me. Tulog ako buong biyahe namin pabalik. Gumising lang ako noong nasa building na kami ng condo. Nauna na akong pumasok, dala ang color blue ko na travelling bag na pinaglagyan ng mga damit na ginamit ko. Pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa aking kuwarto ay pagod kong ibinagsak ang katawan ko sa malambot na kama. Nakatulog agad ako. Kahit ang insomnia ko ay hindi na napigilan ang antok ko. Days had passed like a whirl wind. Its now our fifth month working here. Tutok na tutok ang mga mata ko sa story na ini-edit ko. Minamadali ko ito dahil after ng editing ay titingnan ko pa kung kailangan pa ng revision. Of course to make the story

CHAPTER 7

After reading his Author's note, I slowly closed the book. Oh my God. I still can't belive it. How come I received this book anyway? Sino naman kaya ang may mabuting pusong nakaalala sa akin at ipinagtabi pa ako ng kopya na ito. I shooked my curious little head. "Ryll, hindi ka pa magla-lunch?" Napa-angat ako ng tingin sa nagsalita. It was Jomarie. A smile plastered on his face. Sometimes, I smell something fishy with these two. Jomarie and Rio. But, well I think it's impossible. Or maybe not. They're just so close to each other. I pity him. Rio is spoil rotten. Her mom doesn't want her to work as an editor but it's her decision when she applied for the job. Dinalahan pa nga s'ya ng mommy n'ya ng mas malaking swivel chair at ng bagong laptop para mas maging kumportable s'ya habang nagta-trabaho. But of course, she h

CHAPTER 8

I ran. Parang bombang sumabog kanina sa akin ang impormasyong iyon. Paano n'ya naitago sa akin iyon? Paano? Imposible iyon, paanong s'ya si Darkheart? I stopped only when I noticed that I already got away from the building where Elouise is. Madilim na ang langit. Hinahabol ko pa ang hininga ko. Then realization hit me hard. I bit my lower lip. Nag-flashback bigla sa utak ko. Yung pagkakataong mukha s'yang stressed, iyong mga pagkakataon na wala s'ya sa table n'ya. Does it make any sense? Pero paanong kahit sinong emplayado roon ay wala manlang nabanggit na s'ya iyon? bakit parang hindi naman s'ya kilala ro'n? Mapakla akong natawa. Malamang kinontsaba n'ya ang lahat nang nandoon para walang magsalita kahit isa. Why I am so stupid? Naglalakad na ako ng biglaang bumuhos ang ulan! Cra

CHAPTER 9

"Faster, Ryll! run, faster!" I told to myself again and again inside my head! There's a man who's running after me holding a knife! Fuck this! I ran as fast as I can, until the road end. And I fell. Oh, no! I felt his hand hold my feet! I faced him, but I couldn't see a glimpse of his face.. His face was.. blank.. He was about to stab me with his knife— I opened my eyes. I could feel my sweat dripping in my forehead down to my neck. Damn. That was such a scary dream. Huminga ako ng malalim at ipinatong ko ang isa kong braso sa aking mga mata. Fuck that dream. Ilang minuto akong nanatili sa ganoong puwesto hanggang sa naisipan ko nang bumangon para tingnan kung anong oras na ba. Tiningnan ko ang digital clock na nasa bed side table ko.
