Joseph And His Brothers

Mariecris Bayubay, isang probinsyanang naging biktima ng karahasan sa syudad. Namuhay sa apat na sulok ng madilim na silid. Walang karamay. Walang masasandalan. Nag-iisa. Walang kamag-anak. Wasak. Bigo. Nabuhay sa takot at pagpapakamatay. Halos mawala siya sa sariling katinuan hanggang sa mapadpad siya sa puder ng isang napakayamang lalaki at magaling na psychiatrist na nagngangalang Seven Castillion, isang binatang bigo sa pag-ibig dahil ang unang babaeng minahal niya ay siya na ngayong asawa ng kanyang nakakatandang kapatid. Nagparaya siya kahit sobrang sakit na pakawalan ito. Hinding hindi na niya nakikita ang sariling magmamahal ulit dahil kahit na may sarili ng pamilya ang babaeng unang minahal ay hindi pa rin siya nawawalan ng pag-asa. Ang binata ang nagbihis at nag-alaga kay Mariecris sa mga panahong gusto na niyang sumuko. Dahil sa kabutihan nito ay hindi niya namalayang nahuhulog na siya, pero anong mapapala ng pagmamahal niya para dito kung may ibang tinitibok ang puso nito? Siya nga ba ang unang babaeng babali sa tadhana ng mga Castillion? Siya nga ba ang unang babaeng magsasabing hindi totoo ang paniniwala ng mga ito na kung sino ang unang minahal ay siya ang huli? O dahil sa pag-ibig niya sa binata ay mas lalo siyang mawawasak at muling nanaisin na mamatay nalang?

'Yong feeling na ipinagkasundo ka na palang ipakasal sa taong kinamumuhian mo. Sa isang taong makita mo pa lang ang mukha umiinit na ang ulo mo. 'Yong taong hindi mo makasundo. Ni sa hinagap 'di mo man lang pinangarap na makasama habambuhay. Lust or love at first sight? 'Yong feeling na makakita ka ng isang Adonis na nakatapis lamang ng tuwalya sa ibabang parte ng katawan nito. Sa 'di mo inaasahan na lugar at pagkakataon. 'Yong tipong tumakas ka sa kanilang lahat pero napadpad ka naman sa isang lugar na mas ikakapahamak mo. Magpapadilim ng kapalaran mo. Lugar kung saan naisuko mo ang pinakaiingatan mo. Sa lalaking 'di mo lubos kilala ang pagkatao at ayaw mo. Sa isang lalaking hinusgahan kaagad ang pagkatao mo. Ano ang gagawin mo kung sa paglipas ng mga araw na nakakasama mo s'ya sa iisang bubong ay unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob mo sa kanya? At pa'no kung kailan hulog na hulog ka na. Ibinigay mo na ang lahat na meron ka sa kanya. Wala ka nang tinira pa para sa sarili mo. Saka naman isa-isang nagsipagsulputan ang mga babae n'ya. Tatanggapin mo ba ang pagsusumamo n'ya sa'yo? Mga pangakong magbabago s'ya para sayo? Maniniwala ka bang magbabago ang isang certified playboy dahil sayo? Ano ang gagawin mo kung isang araw malalaman mong nakabuntis ng ibang babae ang lalaking mahal na mahal mo na? Ang lalaking inakala mong s'ya na ang "THE ONE" mo. Mapapatawad mo pa ba s'ya or tatakas kang muli?

"So you're the famous journalist who goes around snooping out for information from celebrities, huh?" "Y..yes," I managed to utter. Apart from being the man I am going to be interviewing, no one knew he's the reason I've been getting wet dreams almost every night for the past five years. "Who do we have here, brother?" I quickly turned my gaze to the direction of the person who had just spoken, only to be met by three other guys, who looked exactly like the man in front of me. Rumour has it that he lived many lives, and that is exactly what I came to find out, but seeing these three other men looking like another him, I became confused to the point my knee suddenly gave up, instantly. "Hey, hold it in, pretty boy, we won't bite." One of them said, wrapping his arm around my waist just when I was about to fall to the ground. "E.. excuse me, w..who are you?" I asked while staring at all four of them. "You mean, I, or the four of us?" Turstin asked in a deep husky voice. "I think he's confused!" The one holding me said allowed. "Well, we are the Barclay brothers, pretty boy, and my name is Thale," the one holding me said. "Since you want to interview Turstin, we can make you the most famous journalist for free, by letting you interview the four of us," the one standing beside Turstin said. "But that comes with a price, Pretty boy." I took a quick glance at the last one who seemed like he was the youngest of all four. Gael has a secret, and so does the Barclay brothers. What will happen when these secrets find their way out in the open?
