Napasandal ako sa lababo at kaagad naman akong inalalayan ni Elio para makaupo."Are you okay, baby?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya.Napalinga-linga ako para hanapin ang cellphone at nakita kong hawak na ni Elio iyon kaya kaagad kong hinablot iyon at tumawag sa bahay."T-Tita... Okay lang po ba si mama? Kayo? Ayos lang po ba kayo?" Sunod-sunod kong tanong kay Tita."Oo, Nika. Ayos lang kami, ano ba iyon? Madaling araw na, iha."Kaagad akong napahilot sa sentido ko nang malaman kong ayos lang sila tita, lalo na si mama. I feel relieved. Nag-usap lang kami saglit ni Tita, pero hindi ko na pinaalam pa ang pagtawag ni papa saakin, para hindi na sila magkagulo roon lalo na't wala ako."Si papa," sabi ko kay Elio nang mailapag niya sa lamesa ang iniinit naming pagkain kanina."Bakit? Is there's something happened?" Nag-aalala niyang tanong. Umupo siya sa tabi ko habang hawak parin ang nanginginig kong mga kamay.Hindi parin kumakalma iyon simula nang marinig ko ang boses ni papa. Naaalala ko laha

Umagang-umaga palang ay walang humpay na ang pagsusuka ko sa toilet bowl. Inalalayan naman ako ni Elio, at hinang-hina na ako dahil kahit anong gawin ko ay ayaw kumalma ng sikmura ko, kaya naman nang matapos na akong magsuka ay binuhat ako ni Elio para dalhin sa kama namin. “Can you please stop working, baby? Nag-aalala ako sa’yo. Ayokong may masamang mangyari sa'yo at sa bata. You can take a break for your whole pregnancy. Ako na bahala sa inyong lahat.” Nag-aalalang sabi ni Elio habang hawak ang kamay ko at hinalikan pa iyon. Napanguso ako sa sinabi niya, pero kaagad ding napapikit ng mga mata. “This will take for a while, Elio, but not for the whole pregnancy. Sooner or later, magiging maayos narin ako.” Dahan-dahan kong sabi sa kanya para hindi namin pagmulan ng away. Bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto namin at pumasok si Vien na umiiyak. “Mommy!” Kaag

ELIO BLAZIEL SIERRAIt was past four in the morning when I finally arrived home from work. Exhausted but determined, I quietly made my way through the house, only to discover that Nika wasn't in our bed. Worried, I headed to the twins' room and found her sleeping soundly on one of the twin beds.Without bothering to change, I carefully lifted her into my arms, intending to carry her back to our bedroom. As I started walking, she suddenly stirred, her body tensing and shifting in my arms. The abrupt movement almost made me lose my grip on her.“Don’t move, baby. Mahuhulog ka,” I whispered urgently, trying to steady her.To my surprise, she stopped moving almost immediately, but I heard a faint whimpering sound. My heart sank as I realized that she was in the middle of a distressing dream. Her breathing was uneven, and her brow was furrowed in what seemed like pain or fear. What could be troubling her so deeply in her sleep?I tightened my hold on her, ensuring she wouldn’t fall. Her mu

Note: There's a sudden flashbacks in this chapter, kaya sana hindi malituhan. Malalaman din naman iyon kaagad. Happy Reading!ELIO BLAZIEL SIERRAI was about to turn away when she spoke again, her voice laced with venom. “Do you really love her? O baka mahal mo lang siya dahil nakikita mo lang si Veronica sa kanya.”I furrowed my brows, confusion and anger swirling inside me. My fists clenched involuntarily as her words sank in. What kind of twisted game was she playing? What the hell is she talking about?Nicole let out a mocking laugh when she saw the confusion on my face. “Really? You don't know? You've been sleeping with a woman who just looks the same as your late wife. Are you that much of a fool not to notice, Mr. Sierra?”Para akong binagsakan ng malamig na tubig nang sabihin iyon ni Nicole. But I remembered Nika’s frame in their house with her twin sister, who had been long gone away from them. Does that mean Veronica and Veronikka are twins? I don’t get it.Nicole leaned bac

— 9 years ago —(A/N: para hindi maguluhan, total of 20 years. 20 years old na sila Nika (Elyse) at Nics (Miracle) dito.)“Mom, are we gonna stay here for good?” Tanong ng dalaga sa ina.Napatingin naman si Grace sa kanya. “Just for a month, Nics. We’re heading to London after this.” Casual na sagot ng kanyang ina.Napahalukipkip naman si Nica sa sofa ng kanilang living room. Malawak, makintab at napakalinis. Inilibot ni Nica ang kanyang tingin sa paligid, pero halos wala itong maalalang memorya niya sa loob ng kanilang mansyon. Tingin niya ay parang bisita siya rito dahil hindi niya man lang maramdaman na ni minsan siya’y nakatira dito.“Gagala ako, mommy!” Nica shouted and giggled before she stormed out from the mansion.Kaagad itong sumakay sa nililinisang sasakyan ng kanilang driver at kaagad na umalis. Napakamot pa sa ulo ang driver nang wala na itong magawa.“Veronica!” Sigaw ng ina nang makalabas ng bahay. Tumawa lang ang dalaga at nakuha pang kumaway sa ina, bago tuluyang mak
