This Thing A Quiet Madness Made

Simula pagkabata, humahanga na si Alliana sa Ninong niyang si Amadeus isang propesor. Kaibigan ito ng kanyang mga magulang at isa sa mga taong naging sandigan ng pamilya niya noong bata pa siya. Kahit noon pa man, alam na ni Alliana sa sarili niya na hindi lang basta paghanga ang nararamdaman niya sa kanyang Ninong. Tahimik niyang pinangarap na balang-araw, kapag siya’y ganap nang dalaga, baka sakaling mapansin din siya nito. Lumipat ang pamilya nila sa Vancouver Canada, at doon siya lumaki. Nang bumalik siya sa Pilipinas, isa na siyang kolehiyala. Dahil hindi na makakauwi sa Pilipinas ang kanyang mga magulang, ipinagkatiwala siya kay Amadeus na hindi lang ngayon ay guardian niya, kundi isa rin sa magiging propesor niya sa unibersidad. Sa tabi mismo ng condo unit ni Amadeus siya nanirahan. Mula nang magkita silang muli, hindi nawala ang pagkamangha ni Alliana sa kanya. Hindi pa rin ito nag-asawa. May dalawampung taon ang agwat ng edad nila, pero lalong lumalim ang damdamin ni Alliana sa araw-araw na kasama niya ito. Nakikita niya kung paano ito igalang ng mga estudyante, kung gaano ito ka-organisado at katalino, at kung gaano ito ka-dedicated sa trabaho. Ngunit gaano man siya lumapit, tila may dingding pa rin sa pagitan nila. Turing pa rin sa kanya ni Amadeus ay isang bata. Isang inaanak na kailangang alagaan at ituwid. Nagpasya siyang akitin ito sa kahit paanong paraan na alam niya, at kung hindi pa rin ito bumigay sa kanya tutuluyan na niya itong kakalimutan talaga at ibabaon ang damdamin para rito.

I was the heiress switched at birth by a nanny. It was not until I turned eighteen that my biological parents finally found me, and traded me back for the girl they had raised and loved as their own. However, fate played a cruel joke that very same week. My parents died in a car accident. The family business collapsed. In one night, I lost everything. My older brother survived, but his kidneys failed. I did not hesitate. I gave him mine. However, grief broke something in him. Blaming me for our parents' deaths, he spiraled into madness. "You killed Mom and Dad! Why wasn't it you who died instead?" he screamed. I gave up college and took on three jobs a day just to pay for his treatment. Years passed. One day, while cleaning a mansion as a housekeeper, I saw her, the "sister" I was traded for, gliding through a lavish party, dressed in designer clothes and dripping in jewels. I froze when I heard the voices I had long thought silenced. My parents, alive, speaking to her as gently as ever: "Jasmine, you're so compassionate… agreeing to end Helen's punishment early." My brother, the one who should still be seeing a therapist, frowned and objected. "No. Not even a day less. Just because she suffers a little doesn't mean she deserves to live." I glanced down at the medical report still warm in my hands. For the first time in years, I smiled. "Perfect," I whispered. "Now I can finally die like I wanted to."

I receive a mysterious parcel on my fifth wedding anniversary. Inside the box are photos of my husband, Luke Madden, being intimate with his assistant. The photos go back a long time—they seem to start from over five years ago. The latest one was taken half a month ago. He, his assistant, and their daughter are playing by the seaside. They smile brightly in the photo and look like a happy family of three. I suppress my devastation and take medication to terminate my pregnancy. Then, I pull out my phone to text my mother. "I'll do as you say and get a divorce, Mom. I'll be back next month to take over the company."

Sebastian ‘Baste’ Paner was a jock of hotel services and master of client pampering, especially for rich old women. When his best friend who was running a dating agency enlisted his help to fulfill a dying woman's wish, the greedy Baste accepted the offer right away. Who wouldn't be anyway if you're bound to inherit a massive land in the province after her death? However, it wasn't as easy as Baste had initially thought. “When I called and told your orphanage that I want a family, I didn't mean I need a husband. I need a child,” clarified 61-year-old Filomena Geronimo who mistakenly dialed the agency instead of the orphanage. By the way, it's not a love story. It's something more profound than that. It's... something only we know.
