Let Everything That Has Breath

I had always shared a perfect relationship with my mother-in-law, Betsy Dutton. We were the model pair of a wealthy family. She and my father-in-law, Rourke Dutton had been childhood sweethearts, their bond seemingly unbreakable. But one day, she told me something that changed my entire perception of them.  She clutched my hand and tears were streaming down her face. “Naomi,” she sobbed, “your father-in-law… he’s been keeping a mistress. They even have a child together! “For over ten years, I’ve been in the dark, made into a laughingstock!” My throat tightened, and I couldn’t hold back my own confession.  “Mom, actually… Julius is no better. He bought a whole apartment building for his mistress!” We wept in each other’s arms, our heartbreak spilling out in waves.  After what felt like an eternity, she sniffled and straightened herself. “Men are utterly unreliable creatures!” “I’m done with that old man, Naomi!” I gripped her hand tightly. “Mom, wherever you go, I’ll follow. I’m done with Julius, too!”

"Parang awa niyo na itigil niyo na to."- pagmamakaawa ng isang dalaga Ngunit wala man lang siyang ibang narinig kundi puro tawanan. Kitang kita niya sa mga mukha ng mga taong nasa harap niya ang mga ngisi sa kanilang mga labi. 'Kahit maubos pa ang boses mo kakasigaw Crystal walang makakarinig sayo dito hanggang sa mamatay ka."- nakangiting wika ng babae na nasa harapan niya. "Teka teka sandali! Sandali lang Yessie. Wala sa plano to."- pagpigil ng isa pang boses. Halos hindi na matingnan ni Crystal kung sino ito. 'And so? You think I care? She deserve it! Sge deserve to die!!."- puno ng kaseryosohan na saad ni Yessie. 'Sinusumpa ko maybabayad kayo! Pagbabayaran niyo ang ginawa niyong to. Hindi ko kayo papatahimikin!'- nakakakilabot na sigaw ng dalaga kahit na nahihirapan na ito. 'Talaga? Sa tingin mo mangyayari pa yun? Sa tingin mo magagawa mo pa yun? Hahaha! Huwag kang magpatawa! Ito na ang huling gabing masisilayan mo ang mundo. Paalam Crystal! Rest well darling.'- ngising sabi nito at walang ka abog abog na hinampas ng kahoy ang kamay dahilan para mapabitaw ito at malaglag. Halos hindi ako makahinga sa nakita. I'm so sorry! Paano nga ba matatapos lahat ng to kung hindi nila alam kung sino ang totoong kalaban? Buhay ang kinuha at buhay din ang magiging kapalit. Pinaglalaruan ng isang tinig! Boses na nakakapangilabot. Paulit ulit na naririnig at kapag narinig mo ito magtago kana, dahil ikaw na ang susunod. "Tagu-taguan maliwanag ang buwan, pagbilang ko ng tatlo nakatago na kayo. isa, dalawa, tatlo. Pag nahuli ko ay papatayin ko" Pag narinig mo ang katagang yan ay magtago kana. Run and hide as fast as you can. Save yourself before it's too late. Killer is here, death is everywhere. Be careful who you trust. Tik tak Tik tak...

While my husband, Gerald Brown, was abroad negotiating a business deal, he was drugged and spent the night with a female secretary from a rival company. The drug’s side effects scrambled his memory so badly that he forgot who I was. He kicked me out of the master bedroom and let the secretary smash my grandmother’s heirloom. I told myself he was sick and stayed silently by his side. But when I suggested taking him for a medical checkup, he hit me for the first time. “Who do you think you are? Only Ailey is allowed to touch me. If she gets jealous, you’ll regret it.” When the secretary framed me, he pushed me down the stairs, and I suffered a miscarriage. Late one night, when my heart condition flared up, I went to his study for medicine but overheard him talking to his friend outside the door. “Faking amnesia to bring Ailey home is one thing, but why replace your wife’s heart medication? Now, she’ll never return to the hospital for surgery.” Gerald just chuckled. “If I don’t keep her weak, she’ll go to the hospital and check the hospital records and find out I was never drugged. Ailey’s been timid since childhood and even went undercover for me in a rival company. I can’t betray her.”
