7 - YakapAyoko man na makasabay siya, wala akong nagawa. Kailangan kong magpalakas. Hindi dahil nandito ako at kinidnap niya ako ay magpapaka miserable na ako. While eating, I couldn't help but think of Zally and Rony. Ivo and Anna must be worried now too. The image of Zally, who is crying and calling my name, wants me to cry more. Napatitig ako ng matagal sa baso ko at parang wala ng ganang kumain."Do you like this?" Tanong nito habang nilalagyan ng pagkain ang pinggan ko.Kalokohan na talaga ito. Malaking kalokohan na nga ito. Lahat ng sinabi niya. Lahat ng ginawa at gagawin niya ngayon ay kalokohan. Lahat ng iyon kalokohan.Hindi ko siya sinagot. Nanatili akong tahimik at nakatitig lang sa pagkain na nasa harap. Kinuha niyo ang pagkain sa kwarto niya at nilagay rito sa dining table.I took a deep breath while watching everything he was doing right now. I let him do whatever he wanted to do. Putting food on my plate and pouring water into my glass, I also let him. I don't want to

I thought it was just a dream—everything that happened last night when I woke up alone in bed—but when I looked around, my shoulders just dropped. The familiar room and his scent in this room made me realise that it was not a dream. Everything that happened was not a dream.Nandito ako nga ako sa lugar na 'to at kinidnap niya ako.I was weak when I got up to go to the bathroom, and every movement I made in the shower was extremely slow. Nakakapanghina, lalo na habang iniisip ko kung hanggang kailan ako rito sa isla na 'to at kung kailan ko ulit makikita ang mga anak ko.I wanted to cry when I came out, and the whole house was so quiet. Walang bakas ni Zally at Yrony.I miss my daughter and son. I miss them so much. I already want to hug them, na kahit isang araw pa lang, pakiramdam ko mababaliw na ako sa pagkamiss ko sa kanila at pag-iisip ko sa kanila. I already wanted to hear their voices.Agad na bumalot ang galit sa akin habang iniisip ang pagiging selfish ni Yrony. How could he d

9 - Asawa"I told you to eat, but you didn't eat. I left you there so you could eat, but you... subrang tigas ng ulo mo," he said when he came out and approached me. Mariin ang pagkakasabi niya.Bagong ligo ito at kahit medyo malayo naman ang distansya naming dalawa ay amoy na amoy ko ang mabango at nakakaadik niyang amoy. He has a black bag in his left arm; he is ready to leave and go back to Manila.I can't believe that he's so fresh, but I'm here miserable, dahil sa walang kwenta niyang pinag gagagawa.“Go back there and eat your fvcking breakfast, Azaylie," iritang sambit niya sa akin.“Hindi ako gutom,” walang kagana-ganang sambit ko sa kanya. Siguro ay nakita nito ang pagkain sa lamesa na hindi ko ginalaw kanina.“But—” I cut him.“Tell me the real reason why you are doing this. What are your real motives for doing this this fvcking sh1t, Yrony? Dahil kahit saan ko tignan, lahat ng ito ay purong mga kalokohan lang. I told you that my son and daughter need me--” Siya naman ang p

"Ano bang—" But he cut me before I could completely say what I wanted to say."I'm already here. Mamaya pa naman ang meeting ko," sambit niya agad na para bang obliga niya akong sabihan ng lahat ng gagawin ko."Hindi ko tinatanong! Can you just shut up?" Inis na sambit ko sa kanya."Tell me everything you want to eat. I asked her to cook you anything you wanted. If there's nothing there that you want, you can say it to me," he said and stopped for a while. Maybe he was waiting for what I would say to him, pero dahil alam kung naghihintay siya sa sasabihin ko ay mas ginusto ko na lanag na huwag na magsalita pa.Shit! I'm bored! Wala ba akong ibang gagawin kung hindi ang maupo rito at tumingin lang sa dagat?"Do you want anything? How about your clothes? Do you have a specific thing that you want me to buy? You want a bikini—no, that's not a good idea, saka ka na magbikini kapag nandiyan ako, and also, it's not really good for you to wear something like that because there's a guy there.

I am angry with her because of what she did, but every time I see my sister in pain, I push her away and shout at her, because the truth is, I am also in pain every time I do that to her.She's my sister. She is my princess, but what she did was really too much. I have stopped myself several times when I wanted to hug her because she was crying, but I want her to know that she shouldn't interfere with my life.What she did years ago hurt Zay very much. Dahil sa kagustuhan niyang huwag matanggal ang share ni Don Alvarez sa kompanya ay nagawa niyang makipagsabwatan sa kanya. Ang kilala kong Janica ay hindi ganoon. She is too much.I closed my eyes tightly when Denver told me what happened that day. Ilang beses pa akong nasuntok ni Denver noon dahil sa katangahan ko.The day when I went to that fvcking blind date, Zay called me many times while crying, and I don't want to think about how much pain she is in when someone sends a picture to her and they even send a recording where Daisy is
