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

“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

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-

Warning: Mature content. Read at your own risk."Tell me more about him, Ate. You're so unfair! 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. Sila Dame ang nagsasakay at nag-aasikaso nung ibang mga bagahe.We're preparing to go to the airport para sa flight namin papunta sa Siargao, private plane nila Dame ang gagamitin. Kasabay na namin si Tita Danica, Tito Ramon, Dame, and Niklaus sa pagbyahe papunta roon. Just like the old times, wala nga lang si Zadki

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.
