Hanggang sa hindi ka makatulog sa gabi, hanggang sa maging dominant iyon sa isip mo, hanggang sa isang araw—magsisisi ka na lang kung bakit mo iyon ini

CHAPTER 3FLASHBACKUmalis na kami ni Dad nang gano'n gano'n lang. Hindi ko man lang nalaman ang buong pangalan ng lalaking pakakasalan ko. Just "Lance Vetara" and "Kingsland"—a first name and a company. That was all I knew about my future husband.Ngunit may mga pangyayari nga talaga na hindi mo inaasahan. My Dad was caught by police that night. Nandoon ako kung saan niya binaril si Ate Cherry at si Tita Nessia.He shot two people and police shot him twice—one bullet hit a vital part of his body.The paramedics worked on him for twenty minutes before they stopped, before they pulled the sheet over his face.

CHAPTER 5Noong nag-aaral kami ni Luna sa nursing, matindi ang naging frustration namin. It was worse for me because Kuya Limuel was the one paying for my education. Even though he never asked me to, I pushed myself relentlessly to excel and avoid failing even a single subject.We weren't minors anymore. We used to feel this overwhelming thirst for... needs. Studying to become nurses brought intense frustrations, and sometimes it was impossible not to seek some kind of escape.Luna said that some of my classmates were engaging in their sex lives, lalo na noong fourth year daw kami. She also mentioned that she and her boyfriend were doing it too—said that with all the stress from hospital deployments, exams, and tentative grades that needed fixing because of failures, those kinds of thoughts would just creep into their minds."Para lang siyang release valve," saad niya nang graveyard kami sa shift. "Alam mo 'yon, kapag sasabog ka na dahil sa program na ito, at least that's something yo

CHAPTER 7Kahit na may takot ako na baka hindi niya ako bigyan ng pera kung sasagutin ko siya nang pabalang, hindi pa rin maiwasan ng bibig ko na..."Well, at least I tried my best! And you could tell it was my first time! My mouth never sucked any dick before, so as a matter of fact, you took my oral virginity, so fifteen thousand seems like too little...

I shouted.Hindi ko na mapigilan ang pagsalubong ng dalawa kong kilay dahil sa inis. My who

CHAPTER 9Hindi pa ako sigurado. I don't want to make another impulsive decision. Oo, umalis na ako sa puder ni Chief, pero hindi ko naman sigurado kung uuwi na talaga ako. I have ten thousand left here. Should I get an apartment? But that would only cover the deposit. Tapos wala na akong pera pagkatapos noon! And then what? How would I eat? How would I survive?"Kung iyan ang gusto mo. Pero sino ba 'yong lalaki?"Isa pa 'yang lalaki na 'yan!Dahil sa labis na bigat ng dibdib ko, nasabi ko na kay Luna kung sino ang lalaking iyon."Si Lance... Lance Vetara." The name felt bitter on my tongue."The fuck?!"My eardrums almost broke and bled because of her shout.OA naman, sa mga artista lang siya tumitili ng ganiyan! Artista ba 'yang bwisit na Lance na 'yan?!"Kilala mo siya? Ako kasi hindi eh. I searched him online but it was just his business stuff, nothing too personal that I could find," matabang ko pa
