HER WHOLE BODY is still trembling as her mind recalled what happened a while ago. Kung paano tumama ang mga basiyo ng bala sa kanilang mga gamit sa sala. Kung paano’y tila ba ay pinapaulanan ng bala ang kanilang bahay.Binaling niya ang kanyang paningin sa kanyang mga anak na ngayon ay tulog na tulog na sa kanyang tabi. Napahugot siya ng malalim na hininga at mariing kinagat ang ibabang labi. Mabuti na lang at wala ni isa sa kanila ang nasugatan o nagasgasan ang katawan.“Water?” offer ni Miss Irina sa kanya. “Stai ancora tremando.” [translation: You're still trembling.]Inabot nito ang kanyang kamay mahinang pinisil. Bakas ang awa sa mga mata nito habang nakatingin sa kanya. Pinilit niya ang sariling ngumiti ngunit pati labi niya ay nanginginig.“That was the first time I encountered it,” mahinang wika niya. “I was scared. I thought I was going to die. I’m torn between covering for myself and my baby or running to the playroom to make sure my kids are fine. I was… I was all over the

“Chto my budem delat' s etoy tvoyey zhenshchinoy?” tanong ni Aiden habang nakatingin sa kanilang mga bihag na nakayuko. [translation: What are we going to do with your that woman?]“Oni nikomu ne govoryat. Chort voz'mi!” Sinipa niya ang railing dala ng galit na nararamdaman. [translation: They are not telling a soul. Damn it!]Mahinang natawa si Aiden sa kanya. “Vot ya i dumayu, chto ty prosto spokoynyy paren', kotoromu plevat', chto proiskhodit vokrug nego.” [translation: Here I am, thinking you're just a chill guy who doesn't give a fuck of what's happening around him.]“Oni vtyagivayut moikh detey v etu istoriyu, Eyden. Chto by ty pochuvstvoval, yesli by kto-to chut' ne zastrelil tvoyego rebonka? A tvoya zhena beremenna?” Mapakla siyang natawa. “I will never let this slide. Kung hahalungkatin ko ang buong Pinas para malaman kung sino ang may gawa nito, then I’m going to do it.” [translation: They are dragging my children into this mess, Aiden. How would you feel if someone almost s

SHE’S LOST FOR words. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang kanyang isasagot sa sinabi nito. Mukhang nakuha naman nito na walang pumapasok sa kanyang isipan kaya naman ay muli siya nitong siniil ng malalim na halik.He then pulled the guitar and peck another kiss on her lips.“But don’t answer that now. This is not the proposal I wanted to give you.” Ngumiti ito. “Now it’s my turn. What song do you want me to sing to you?”“Wala akong maisip,” wala sa sarili niyang wika at humugot ng malalim na hininga. “Ikaw? Anong gusto mong kantahin?”“Hmm.” He hummed. “I have a song in mind but it’s from oldies music.”“I love listening to them,” she said. “C-can you sing it for me?”Pinipigilan niya ang sariling h’wag mapangiwi matapos niyang magtanong. Tumango naman si Cydine at ngumiti. Tumingin ito sa string ng guitar at mariing kinagat ang ibabang labi.“All my life was a paper. Once plain, pure and white,” panimula nito at agad na siyang nagka-clue kung anong klaseng kanya ‘yon. “Till you moved with

KANINA PA NI-RE-REPLAY ni Bliss ang convo nila ni Cydine kanina sa loob ng silid. Kilig na kilig naman ang gaga. Napailing na lang sya sa inaasal nito at humugot ng malalim na hininga.“Di ba, I told you? He really has feelings for you! Siguro you’re just worried that he’s still into his first love or first crus—which is me, but…” Bliss waved her hands. “It was just a puppy love. Simple admiration.”“What makes you think he was telling the truth?” bagot niyang tanong dito.“Men who are genuinely feeling something something for you would try to keep themselves from telling you what they truly feel right away. They’re scared that their confession would make you run and hide.” Mahina itong natawa. “Hindi pa ba halata sa kung paano ka niya tratuhin? Sa kung paano ka niya pahalagahan?”Napaiwas siya ng tingin. “I don’t really give double meaning to anything to do. Ayokong masyadong umasa na may katugon itong nararamdaman ko. Too much expectations would lead to disappointments.”“But not Cy

WALA SA SARILI siyang napabalikwas ng bangon at humugot ng malalim na hininga. Hindi niya alam kung bakit niya ito nararamdaman. She feels nervous all of the sudden. “Stai bene?” [translation: Are you alright?]Wala sa sarili siyang napatingin sa nagsalita at nakita si Miss Irina. May ngiti ito sa labi ngunit ang mga mata ito ay nag-aalalang nakatingi sa kanya. She bit her lower lip and started into the horizon.“Credo di aver appena avuto un incubo,” mahinang usal niya at napatingin sa kanyang tabi. “Where are the kids?” [translation: I think I just had a nightmare.]“Sono fuori con tua madre. Che tipo di sogno era, Delancy? Sei sudato,” concerned nitong wika. [translation: They're outside with your mother. What kind of dream was that, Delancy? You're sweaty.]Pinilig niya ang kanyang ulo. “Dimenticavo.” [translation: I forgot.]Sabay silang napatingin sa pinto nang bumukas ito. He walked in and smiled at her. Pilit siyang ngumiti pabalik dito at pinanood itong maglakad palapit sa k
