Chapter Twenty

Fidgeting my phone, I'm still wondering about what I saw last night. I'm starting to have a hunch that it is connected to kuya Vince's death. I'm really sure na tao iyon, is he checking us kung may alam na kami? Kung may lead na ulit sa kaso? What is he planning?Muling nagsitayuan ang mga balahibo ko dahil sa naiisip. Should I report this? Is my family still safe? Ngunit isang beses palang iyon. Parang gusto ko tuloy pumunta sa presinto ngayon at humingi ng latest na update tungkol sa kaso ng pagkamatay ni kuya. Nahinto muna kasi iyon, masyadong pulido ang pagkakagawa nung suspect, walang ma-trace na kahit ano.I closed my fist, mahuhuli at mahuhuli ka rin. You will rot in jail but your soul is already burning in hell.I sighed before I shook my head, baka nga namamalikmata lang ako. Masyado na ata akong na p-praning sa paligid ko dahil sa sobrang stress, I need to loosen up. Katatapos ko na naman mag audit ng mga gastos ng kompanya kanina sa panibagong project namin, our family's bu

Chapter Twenty One

“Damn it,” mura ko nang magsimulang mag ingay ang alarm clock ko sa may side table, agad akong humarap doon para patayin, my eyes are still closed. My head feel sore. My brain is still debating if I should sleep more or to finally get up because I need to workout today, ang tagal ko na rin nabakante dahil sa sobrang busy. Tamad kong kinapa ang cellphone ko sa ilalim ng aking unan. Ilang minuto ko iyon hinayaan muna sa aking tiyan bago dahan dahan nagmulat ng aking mga mata. It’s already 8:11 am, pwede ako hindi pumasok ngayon dahil natapos ko naman na lahat ng gagawin ko kahapon. My eyes automatically widen when I remember what happened last night, I’m so fucking wasted! And Dame drive me home! “Shit! Paano ako nakarating sa kwarto ko? I can’t remember anything!” I talked to myself, napasabunot ako sa aking buhok, pinukpok ko pa ang ulo ko—pinipilit alalahanin yung mga bagay na ‘di ko na matandaan kagabi. Ang huli ko lang naalala ay iyong sinabi niyang dalhin ko raw siya tuwing i

Chapter Twenty Two

“Come on, pick anything—libre ko,” pagpupumilit ko nang makitang hindi pa rin siya gumagalaw sa pwesto niya. Paminsan-minsan ay tumitingin sa akin tapos lilipat doon sa mga paninda sa harap. Nagdadalawang-isip pa ata.We’re currently buying some street foods para baunin doon sa burol na pupuntahan namin. May nakita kasi akong vendor dito malapit sa site, natakam ako. Tumusok ako nung fishball. Ang tagal ko na hindi nakatikim nito dahil kay mommy, bigla tuloy ako nag crave. Minsan lang kasi ako makakain ng ganito.“I don’t know what to pick,” he honestly answered, nag iwas pa ng tingin. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Rich kid kasi. Fishball, kikiam, saka barbecue lang ata alam nito na andito sa harap namin, e. “What do you want to try?” I asked, I tilted ny head to see him properly.Kumuha pa ako ng sampung stick ng isaw, ang tagal ng titig nitong kasama ko doon. He’s probably thinking kung intestine ba talaga ‘yon. “Kuya, pa-compute na lang po ako lahat, ha.” “Sige po, ma’am,” sag

Chapter Twenty Three

“Vaine, I will not let you drive like that,” he uttered gently. His hand is brushing my arms, inaalo ako upang lumabas na dito sa kotse ko. Habang ako ay nanatiling nakatulala.“Baby, come on… I’m here…” Nanginginig pa rin ako nang mas buksan niya ang pinto para i-check kung ayos lang ako. Marahan niya akong inalalayan pababa at nagpatianod lang ako sa kanya dahil sa sobrang panghihina.Tulala ako hanggang sa makasakay na ako sa sasakyan niya, he made sure that my seatbelt is locked before he typed something on his phone, he placed that on his ear before he took a glance at me while he's still on the outside. I can see the concern in his eyes but I can’t fully grasped what’s happening right now. “Niklaus… You’re not busy, right?... Yeah, I heard… We’re now going… Can you pick Vaine’s car here at…” Wala na akong naintindihan doon dahil ang tanging nasa utak ko lang ay naaksidente si Ate Vivian at kailangan ko pumunta agad doon sa hospital na tinext ni mommy kanina. Sunod-sunod na n

Chapter Twenty Four

I was too stunned to speak when I saw Tita Danica in front of me, she’s alone. I tried to utter some words as fast as I can but I failed. My brain is still occupied by Dame’s words earlier. My hands started to feel clammy and I’m already sweating bullets. I feel like there's a hurricane inside me, my stomach is turning upside down. I feel nauseated because of nervousness. “Do you want to talk, hija?” she asked as she gave me a small smile. Her eyes are encouraging me to say 'yes'.My lips parted, trying to speak again. Hindi pa rin ako nakaka-move on sa pag-uusap namin ni Dame kanina but I can’t turn Tita Danica down even though I think I already have an idea about what we’re going to talk about, lalo na‘t mukhang pinuntahan niya pa ako dito. I think this is the right time for us to talk, ang tagal na rin noong huli, pare-parehas silang hindi ko na nakausap pagkatapos nung gabing sinabing isa si Dame sa suspect sa pagkamatay ni kuya. How did she know that I’m here by the way? “S-

Chapter Twenty Five

“You’re late,” I hissed when I saw him rushing inside. He cracked a smile and ignored what I've said. He’s wearing a denim jacket with a white shirt inside of it, and his necklace. He’s literally twenty minutes late and I don’t know what his reason is. Vince Hermano is always earlier than any scheduled time of meeting or what. We decided to have an ‘oh-so-called-bonding’ tonight since he’s leaving. We'll see each other after so many years again, we don’t know exactly when—he’s a very busy person now, ever since he graduated. He went straight to one of the lanes, he’s already assembling a gun when I stepped in. “I had a talk with my sister,” now he‘s explaining. Wait. Sister? Which one? Vaine or Vivian? My jaw ticked when I remembered the last time I talked with Vaine, I could say that we’re currently not okay, we need to talk. I want to settle with her and I’m really planning to talk about it, I’m just giving her time. I don’t want to exhaust her. We’ve been through a lot of thi

Akala ko ba hindi tayo magtatago ng kahit ano mula sa isa't isa?" sumimangot ako habang naka-krus pa ang braso sa dibdib.Narinig ko lang ang halakhak niya maski wala naman nakakatawa sa sinabi ko. She's busy putting her bags inside the car trunk while patiently hearing my rants about her unrevealed past with that hot doctor! Don't judge me, I'm just saying the truth. I'm describing him the way I see him.Medyo nakaka-recover na si Ate sa nangyaring aksidente. Nagiging maingat pa rin kami, ang binubuhat niya lang ngayon ay yung maliit niyang bag na naglalaman ng toiletries niya.

Chapter Twenty Seven

Morning after that, I just felt him hugging me—shirtless, with his boxers only. Ang kanyang mukha ay nakabaon sa aking leeg, nakayakap ang kamay niya sa aking bewang habang ang kanyang kanang paa ay medyo naka dagan sa akin. Akala mo tatakasan, e. He’s like a koala. I spent the night inside his room. Whenever I shift away to check my phone if there’s any message from mom and Ate Vivian—he will roll over too while still asleep, just to follow me. He nested his face on my neck while his hand sprawled across my stomach, under my shirt—uh, his shirt. I immediately get back to my room without waking him up because he looks so peaceful while sleeping, he’s also snoring but not that loud—it’s sounds so soft. I smiled because he looked like a baby even when he's grumpy when he's awake.Nag iwan na lang ako ng note sa headboard ng kama niya. I put my dress again, with still his boxers on. My body felt so sore even we just did a damn dry-hump. I felt so tired and sleepy but I still managed to

WARNING: mature content, mention of violence, vomiting."Did you just tell me that an unknown person submitted a new lead to open your brother's case again?" Gianna asked, like she's confirming it and she needed to hear it twice.I nodded. I grabbed the cup of my coffee, I enveloped it with my both hands just to feel its warm. Until now I can feel the shivering of my soul since our last day in Siargao. I can still remember how my heart beated abnormally, and until now—I still can feel the same. Hindi ako mapakali.Andito kami ngayon sa café ni Niklaus, kasama si Kael. Halos tatlong araw na ang nakalilipas mula nang makauwi kami, kinabukasan no'n ay dumiretso agad kami sa presinto. The presecutor are also there, ilang araw din ang nagdaan upang siguraduhing tunay ang nakuha nilang bagong imposrmasyon.Bukas ay pupunta kami doon, baka si Dame na lang ang kasama ko dahil si mommy ay binabantayan si Ate Vivian, medyo lumalala kasi ang pagsakit ng kanyang ulo nitong mga nakaraang araw.

Chapter Twenty Nine

My hands are still shaking when I grabbed a mop from our storage room. My tears kept on falling down my cheeks like a stream. Ang ilang segundo lang na pagkuha non ay tumagal ng ilang minuto dahil tila hindi kumokonekta ang kilos ko sa utak ko. Kasabay ng pagtulo ng aking luha ay siya ring pakirot ng aking puso habang nililinis ang inilabas kong kinain kani-kanina lang. I like to run away after this. I like to run away from all of my problems. But how? Is it worth it? It's not the time to run away, I can feel that we're near the truth, we're near to claim the justice for Kuya. Should I keep this on myself first? Kaya ko ba? Hindi...I got too tired and exhausted from where we've been. I drained my energy from the informations that we've learned-tapos ganito pa ang madadatnan ko dito. Sana ay binaril na lang din ako para minsanang hirap at sakit lang. "Vaine, anak? Andito ka na pala... Kamusta ang pagpunta ninyo ni Dame? Anong balita, anak?" Now all I can see is red. When I heard h
