DYLAN FONTANILLA POINT OF VIEW“What happened?” Hindi agad sumagot si Dad.Tahimik lang niya akong tiningnan habang hawak ang cellphone sa kamay. Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal kaming nagkatitigan pero sapat na iyon para maramdaman kong may kung anong bumigat sa dibdib ko.May nangyari.At alam kong may kinalaman iyon kay Kaia.“It’s Tres.”Parang may humigpit sa lalamunan ko. Napatitig ako sa cellphone na hawak niya, pabalik sa mukha niya. “What about him?” I croaked.He called and he wants to talk to you.” Ilang segundo akong hindi nakagalaw.Sa dami ng gabing inubos ko sa paghahanap kay Tres, sa dami ng taong kinausap ko at lugar na pinuntahan ko mahanap lang kung saan niya posibleng itinago si Kaia, hindi ko inaasahang siya mismo ang tatawag. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako o omas lalo lang akong kakabahan. Dahan-dahan kong inabot ang telepono mula kay Dad. Nangin

DYLAN FONTANILLA POINT OF VIEWSleep never came that night. Every time I closed my eyes, another possibility crossed my mind. I kept replaying today’s exchange over and over as I tried to anticipate every move Tres might make, and every mistake I couldn’t afford to commit.In every version of the plan, something went wrong.By the time the first rays of sunlight slipped through my curtains, I had already accepted one painful truth. There was no perfect outcome waiting for us. Only choices…And the consequences that came with them.The mansion was already awake before seven. Maurice and Iverson had left before dawn to prepare the private plane while the rest of our security team coordinated with the pilot. Even though Tres specifically asked for a plane, I wasn’t foolish enough to come unprepared. Ever since Tres sent me the meet-up point, my family already assembled a team, even at midnight. Every v

KAIA CLEMENTE POINT OF VIEWNanatili akong nakaupo sa gilid ng operating room habang nanginginig ang kamay na nakatingin sa suot ko. My clothes were painted red… Tres’ blood. Ilang minuto ko na iyong tinititigan pero pakiramdam ko ay ilang oras na ang lumipas. The entire hospital lobby smelled like antiseptic and cold air. Mas lalo nitong dinadagdagan ang kabang nararamdaman ko.The nurses hurried from one hallway to another and stretchers rolled across the polished floor every few minutes. Everyone was moving. Everyone had somewhere to go. Pero ako…Pakiramdam ko ay naiwan akong nakatigil sa oras. “Kaia, why don’t you come with me? Magpalit ka muna ng damit,” malumanay na sambit sa akin ni Maurice. She held my hand and squeezed it as if she’s trying her best to comfort me. Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kaniya. Siya ang naiwan kasama ko dahil saglit na umalis sina Dylan kasama ang tatay niya at si Iverson. They were cooperating w

KAIA CLEMENTE POINT OF VIEWIlang araw ang lumipas pero pakiramdam ko ay parang tumigil na ang oras. Everything happened so fast that I barely had the chance to process any of it. Hindi na naging mahaba pa ang kamay ni Tres. Dahil sa nangyari at sa posibilidad na kumalat pa sa media ang balita, agad ding inayos ang lahat. Ayaw na rin ni Dylan na mas lumaki pa ang gulo kaya siya na ang nag-ayos ng lahat. The Fontanillas arranged everything. Narinig kong pati ang mga malalapit na kaibigan ni Tres sa isla ay dinala rito ni Dylan para makapagbigay ng huling respeto kay Tres. They wanted to talk to me to apologize pero wala akong hinarap kahit sino sa kanila, kahit na si Clara na itinuring kong tunay na kaibigan. Dylan told me he thanked her, because without Clara, hindi naman ako makakabalik sa Maynila. I wanted to talk to them but I just… I couldn’t. Hindi ko pa kaya. Pagkatapos noon ay tahimik na ring hinatid si Tres

DYLAN FONTANILLA POINT OF VIEWMy brows furrowed while looking towards Kaia. May hindi pa siya sinasabi sa amin? She cleared her throat before speaking again.“Paige… isn’t Tres’ biological daughter.”The confession settled over the room like a heavy weight. Danielle frowned first. “... What?” Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya.My wife slowly nodded her head. “Her real mother was the real Thalia. She and Tres grew up together on the island,” panimula niya. Kaia looked down for a brief moment before continuing. “Years ago, Thalia left the island to work in the city. But while she was there…” Her voice almost broke. “... she was violated by her boss.”No one spoke. “When she found out she was pregnant, she immediately went back home. She wanted to keep the baby but she never told anyone who the father was. Tres was her boyfriend but he accepted her. He treated Paige as his own.”My chest
