Lahat ng Kabanata ng Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Carmella."This is not good. Huwag ka nga'ng baliw, Carmella! Lumipat ka nga d'yan sa Australia para maayos ang buhay mo! Tapos ngayon balik kabaliwan na naman iyang utak mo!"Gamit ang hightech binocolar ay mas napangisi akong lalo habang pinagmamasdan si Brodie sa malayo.This gadget can get good vision up to one kilometers straight. It can go to two kilometers but it will become blurry. Nakakatuwa ito! Wala nga naman akong baril, pero may mga ganito ako rito.From where I stand, outside my balcony, I can see Brodie. I don't know what's been wrong with me lately. At first, I found him weird, but after working on the farm, I kind of found Brodie's personality and life interesting.Iba ang mundo niya sa mundo. Tahimik ang paligid niya, samantalang magulo ang akin. He was surrounded by nothing except his animals and a few friends. I was surrounded by tough boys who could kill like animals. He can play with money for business. While me? I can play with guns and go crazy."He's very coo

Carmella."Axton Crimson Gray?" Halos ayaw kong bigkasin ang pangalan niya, pero nairaos ko ito."Yes," he sighed."What happened to him? Why did he die?"Dapat malulungkot ako 'di ba? Pero hindi ko makuha ang ekspresyon na ito.Axton Crimson Gray is my fucking ex! He is the reason why I stopped kissing boys around. He caught me off guard when I met him. I fell in love with him because of his sweet talk. Mabulaklak magsalita at syempre nahulog ako. I didn't bother knowing his personality because I just felt and thought he was the right person for me.We parted happily when I told him about my identity that night before our wedding. But then, all of a sudden, he didn't show up on the day that we were supposed to get married."I got a call from the police telling me that Axton Crimson committed suicide. He overdosed himself."Pakiramdam ko gatla lang ang ngiti ko ngayon. Knowing Crimson died didn't affect me."He overdosed himself? Of what?""Drugs."I silently chuckled with no express

Carmella.I hummed, coming home, feeling a lot better. It's good to know that Brodie is comfortable around me. I hated him, but not to the point that I would turn him down. He is somehow my neighbor, and I have to play well around him. I realized that Brodie had nothing to do with what Axton did to me back then.Ibaon nalang natin iyon sa limot. Iyan ang pinakamagandang paraan na gawin natin.Naupo agad ako sa swivel chair at kaharap sa computer ko. I haven't opened my emails and other personal stuff for the past three months. I just don't feel it. Simple as that. However, I know the old man is probably venting, steaming hot air out of his nose, thinking I ignored him.At tama nga naman ako. Limang email ang mula sa akin. Luma na ang tatlo at bago ang ang dalawa."What?" My brows crossed, listening to Betty in the line. I ended up calling her. There was only a crypto message from my father, and the email had already been destroyed. Four did as it passed the date and the new one I jus

Carmella."I can't believe this! I'm actually gettingmarried!" Tumili ako habang kayakap si Pepsi. Tumaas ang kilay niya at napangiwi lang ang bruha.Today is our wedding day. It's solemn as it is. We only have one witness each. It's only Pepsi on my side and one on Brodie. I heard his name was Nathaniel. My father called me earlier. Of course, he was okay with everything. This was my father's idea and not mine, and I'm okay with this, provided Brodie and I already had living arrangements.It's as simple as it is. I'll be living in my own backyard, and Brodie will be in the same as hers. The community doesn't need to know. It has nothing to do with them. But in the next few weeks, we have to fly to Italy for Brodie's matter, and I need to accompany him. Bibisitahin ko na rin sina Papa, tutal hindi naman malayo at nasa parehong syudad lang naman kaming dalawa ni Brodie."I hate you, Carmella. Akin dapat ito eh, pero inigaw mo lang talaga." Halukipkip ni Pepsi."But you never liked an

Carmella."He is okay now. Luckily, the venom was not much. It wasn't enough to kill Brodie. He is now safe and needs a rest. He will be discharged tomorrow.""Thank you, Mr. Millie.""That's alright. And by the way, I heard what about Almond. I'm sorry. . . That dog was adamant and such a hero."I bit my inside cheek and smiled a little bit. Mr. Millie patted my shoulder and then trailed off. I sighed, feeling so heavy at the moment.Almond is dead. He probably found the snake inside Brodie's working shed and managed to chase and kill it. But it also bites him. And unfortunately killed him. . . My poor baby.Napasandal ako sa dingding habang tinitigan ang pinto ng kwarto sa pribadong hospital na ito. Nagpapahinga si Brodie sa loob na kasama si Nathaniel. Nalulungkot dahil wala na si Almond at wala ng maingay na tatahol sa akin kada umaga sa tuwing pupunta ako sa farm.Nakakamis naman pala ang mga alaga. Kaya ngayon naiintindihan ko kung bakit walang pakialam si Smokey sa mga hayop,
