View More"ALAM mo iyang si Prof. Monroe, ang gahaman sa grado! Biruin mo 'yon, kumpleto ako ng ipinasa pero binigyan ako ng tres?" Palatak ni Vivorie, my bestfriend since grade school. "Naku, ha! Mabuti na lang talaga at gwapo siya, kaya ko pang palagpasin ang ginawa niya!"
Umismid ako at bahagyang kinurot ang kaibigan, "focus lang tayo sa goal, Viv, ano ba! Hindi fair iyang ginagawa niya lalo na kung nagpasa ka naman ng tama at sa mismong deadline pa!" Sambit ko, may galit din ako sa propesor na iyon eh.
Ang hilig magbigay ng tres! Malas mo na lang talaga kapag singko na isinampal sa'yo.
"Nga pala, Oly, hindi ko na nakikita si Kasper, ah? Saan na 'yon?" Tanong ni Viv habang kinukuha ang baunan sa bag niya, lunch break na kasi at dito kami naglunch sa classroom. "Hala ka, baka may ibang kinakasama na 'yon nang hindi mo nalalaman! Hindi ka pa naman naipakikilala sa parents!" Pananakot niya sabay duro sa'kin ng tinidor.
Tinawanan ko lang at hindi na nagsalita pa, sanay na ako sa palaging litanya ng kaibigan. May tiwala namana ako sa boyfriend ko at alam kong in time, ipakikilala rin niya ako sa parents niya. Besides, pupunta ako sa place niya later to talk about this matter again. Sana lang ay hindi kami mag-away.
She just shrugged off her shoulders and continue eating.
"Babe, gusto ko ng makita ang mga magulang mo." Pagbubukas ko ng usapan, few munites since I arrived here at his apartment. "Anim na buwan na tayo pero ni isa sa pamilya mo wala pa rin akong namimeet," ngumuso ako. "Hindi mo na ako love?"
"I love you so much, babe..." Tumayo siya mula sa pagkaka-upo sa kama at lumapit sa akin, niyakap ako mula sa likod at malambing na hinalikan ang aking batok dahilan upang mahampas ko siya dahil nakikiliti ako. "In time, I will bring you to them, promise, they'll like you and probably mas mamahalin ka pa nila kaysa sa akin." Pagbibiro niya.
Natutuwa naman ako sa sinabi niya pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasang mag-overthink dahil sa tuwing niyayaya ko siya na puntahan ang parents niya o kaya naman relatives pero ang palagi niyang sinasabi ay nasa probinsya raw ang mga ito. Hindi naman niya binabanggit kung saang probinsya iyon.
"Ang bango natin babe, ah..."
Malambing niyang mungkahi at unti-unting sinikop ang aking mahabang buhok at saka ko naramdaman ang mainit niyang halik sa aking leeg, patungo sa aking panga at diretso sa aking labi. Sinuklian ko naman ang halik niya ngunit nang maramdaman kong bumababa ang kamay niya ay akmang hahaplos sa hinaharap ko, humakbang akong paatras.
"Tama na muna siguro iyon, babe." Mahina akong tumawa. Bumusangot siya at pabagsak na naupo sa kama.
"Anim na buwan na tayo pero hindi mo pa rin ako pinagkakatiwalaan," buntonghininga niyang sinabi. "I already proved to you that I am loyal and faithful, remember?"
I bit my lower lip and silently seat beside him, "I'm sorry baby, but I am not ready just yet." Malambing kong sinapo ang nagtatagis niyang bagang. "Just not now, please? I promise, sa iyo ko lang naman ito ibibigay kapag sobrang ready na ako, okay?"
Namayani ang nakabibinging katahimikan.
In our six months of being together, hindi ko kayang magpahawak sa kanya maliban sa mukha at kamay. Hindi ko rin maintindihan ang sarili ko, I just couldn't give myself to him even if I love him enough.
"You don't love me." After a while, I heard him talk. "If you really love me, then give yourself already to me." He said with finality.
My mouth gaped open.
"What? What kind of mindset is that, Kasper?" Hindi makapaniwala kong sambit. "Hindi naman yata fair na iyan ag sukatan mo ng pagmamahal ko sa'yo?"
"Then, how about me Olivia? Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay?" Frustrated niyang sinabi, ang mata ay namumula sa sobrang emosyon nararamdaman. "Paano naman ako? Lalaki ako, Olivia! May pangangailangan din naman ako! Huwag mong hintaying hanapin ko sa iba ang hindi mo maibigay sa akin!"
"Gago ka pala, eh!" Umusbong ang galit sa puso ko. Ang kapal-kapal ng mukha niya! "Edi maghanap kang gago ka!" I shouted and was about to stormed out of his room when the doorbell rang. Dahil ako naman ang malapit sa pinto, ako na ang nagbukas.
Bumungad sa akin ang babaeng may katangkaran at bahagyang magulo ang buhok, may dala itong isang malaking shoulder bag at... batang natutulog.
Sino naman ito?
"Hmm... Hi, Miss, how may I help you?" I politely asked, smiling.
Instead of answering, the woman stared at me from head-to-toe before raising her thick eyebrows.
"I am Kasper Tolentino's wife, and this is our son, Karter." She informed me smoothly. She didn't even stutter or something.
Wait... What?!
"Excuse me?" Bumukas-sara pa ang labi ko at natatawa dahil baka nahihibang na ang babaeng ito, "I don't remember my boyfriend telling me he has a wife or something!" Bahagyang tumaas ang boses ko. "I am the girlfriend, Miss. At kung isa ka sa mga babaeng umaaligid sa boyfriend ko, at sasabihin ang mga walang kuwentang bagay na ito, pwes, nagkakamali ka ng pina—"
"Ikaw ang nagkamali ng lalaking kinasama, Miss." She calmly answered and shushed the baby when it make movement. "I am Elyria Madrigal-Tolentino, Kasper's wife for three years. Ang akala ko ay narito iyan para mag-aral pero hindi ko alam na nangangati na naman pala ang itlog. Don't worry Miss, hindi kita aawayin o sisisihin sa kagagawan niya dahil ganyan na iyan. Walang bayag."
I was too stunned to speak. She continued.
"Well, hindi ko naman talaga siya mahal. Nanatili lang ako kasi gusto kong lumaki ang anak ko na may buong pamilya. Kaya kung ako sa'yo Miss, maganda ka, may future ka pa. Huwag kang manatili sa lalaking walang plano para sa kinabukasan ninyo—"
"What are you doing here, Ria?!" Kasper's voice thunder tha made the baby cry.
"Shush! Stop shouting, Karter's sleeping!" She said, half-shouting and half-whisper. Afterwards, she sweetly smiled and wave the baby's chubby hand. "Hello, daddy! Are you happy to see me? We are happy to see you, too!"
"Stop this already, Elyria!" She shouted again and held my elbow, roon pa ako tila natauhan. "Babe... Let me explain..." Kumurap-kurap ako ng dalawang beses nang marinig siyang magsalita sa tainga ko.
"Teka lang..." Humugot ako malalim na hininga, ang puso ay unti-unting kumikirot. "What is the meaning... of t-this? What was she's blubbering about?" Tiningnan ko siya sa mga mata at parang mayroong punyal na tumarak sa aking puso nang makita ang pagkabalisa roon.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to lie! I just needed to do it because I love you—"
"Bullshit!" Impit kong sigaw. "'Yon ba ang totoong pagmamahal? Huh? Sinungaling! Makasarili ka!" Lumipad ang palad ko sa kanyang kanang pisngi. "I-is that the reason kung bakit hinding-hindi mo ako magawang maipakilala sa pamilya mo? Kasi may naipakilala ka na palang hayop ka!?"
"No... N-no babe, it's not like that..." Nanginig ang boses niya.
"Gago ka, napakamakasarili mo! Nagpapakasarap ka rito habang may anak ka palang naghihintay sa'yo? Anong klase kang tao? Huh? Anong klaseng konsensya ang kinakain mo araw-araw para kumapal ng ganito ang mukha mo?" Tuluy-tuloy kong sigaw, Elyria's nowhere to be found now. Baka pumasok na para patulugin ang anak nila.
Anak nila... Tangina naman! Bakit ang tanga-tanga ko?! Bakit ko nakayang pagkaitan ng oras ang bata?
"B-babe p-please, patawarin mo a-ako..." Iyak niya sabay luhod at yakap sa binti ko. Nanginginig pa ang kanyang mga balikat. "H-hindi ko k-kayang mawala ka... K-kahit hindi mo na ibigay sa'kin 'yon, p-please... J-just stay..."
"Ang kapal mo gago ka! Iyon 'yung mag-ina mo! Roon ka nararapat! Huwag sa akin!" Marahas ko siyang inalis sa pagkakayakap sa binti ko kahit pa man muntik nang sumama ang skirt ko. "Hindi... Hindi ako mananatili sa taong katulad mo. You are selfish, Kasper. Napakasama mong tao." Kahit anong pigil ko sa luhang huwag tumulo, tumulo pa rin. Nanginig pa rin ang boses. "You knew too well how I dislike irresponsible parents, Kasper. Alam mo kung paano akong tratuhin ng magulang ko pero ganoon ka pala?" I sobbed. "No... This is enough, ayaw ko ng ganito. I don't deserve this. Be man enough and face your responsibility. Goodbye."
I felt loss. Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako pupunta, hindi rin naman ako puwedeng magpalakad-lakad sa kalsada dahil baka madisgrasya pa ako. Mahirap na, wala pa namang mag-aalaga sa akin.
Dahil sa kawalan mg magagawa, ayaw ko namang manatili sa bahay at magmukmok para sa taong walang kwenta. Pumara na lang ako ng paparating na taxi.
"Kuya, sa may The Wrecker po." Sinabi ko ang pangalan ng bar.
Ilang minuto lang ay dumating na kami at diretso na akong pumasok, suki na ako rito kaya hindi na ako tinanungan ng id. Bawal pa naman ang minors dito.
"Ay impakta!" Irit ko nang masagi ako ng puwet, ang harsh naman sumayaw kasi! "Sana all may puwet," wala sa sarili kong sinabi at bigla na lang dumampot ng inumin at diretso iyong nilagok.
Nagpaikot-ikot pa muna ako sa dance floor at naki-twerk bago dumako ang kanyang tingin sa isang guwapong lalaking nakaupo sa isang stool sa may counter. Mukha itong may malalim na iniisip dahil halos hindi na gumalaw. Lumapit siya rito at dinampot ang iniinom nito, mamungay-pungay ang mata ko, dahil marami na ring nainom, habang nakatingin sa kanya. Mukhang masarap.
"Would you mind spendeng the with me?" She asked seductively. "I'm sure you won't regret anything," she winked and attacked his lips.
Maiintindihan niya kung itulak siya ng lalaki at bulyawan pero hindi iyon nangyari, bagkus ay mas pinalalim pa nito ang kanilang halikan hanggang sa namalayan na lang niyang, nakalapat na ang kanyang likuran sa isang malambot na bagay. Kama.
Bazaar body was burned from our land and houses were starting to rebuild. Everyone was looking forward to their new life. A life free of being hunted and killed by werewolves knowing Alpha Deucalion and his pack was no harm to us. The day Alpha Deucalion left. I haven't seen him for days, which felt like months. I understand he and his pack were starting a new life free from Bazaar like us. They were building their new home. I missed him. I yearned to see him again. As the new leader of the land, my mom and I moved into Bazaar's large home. While my mom was decorating the house and trying to make it feel like a home should. I was busy with Daniele teaching me to be the new leader. We have gotten close and I see that he was a friendly and understanding person. Daniele was 23, 1 year older than Alpha Deucalion, and 5 years older than me. Just as Alpha Deucalion he acted mature for his age. They both showed great leadership. I tried asking him to take my title as the new leader of the
They carried me to Bazaar. I watched him with bitterness in my heart as he calm down a panicking crowd."Don't worry everyone. We are all safe. The wall will help protect us," he told them."Leader, we've caught the outcast," the guard who held me interrupted him.Bazaar turned around. My face made in anger and my eyes motioned from his face staring at where his left arm was. During the battle between him and Alpha Deucalion, he lost his left arm. He was one-handed.Bazaar walked up to me gravely. His eyes never left me as he did.Silently, the crowd watched him."You are the cause of what is happening now, werewolf witch," he falsely accused me."You know I'm not," I retorted angrily, returning every one of his stares.Bazaar was infuriated by my respond"Cut her throat!" he ordered his men and spun around hastily walking away.I was petrified when I saw the guard reaches for a knife from his side."You may kill me under one condition," I spoke terrified.The guard's knife paused at
The forest was cold after the rain. There were no dry spots to sleep and the night was much darker since we were deep within the forest. None of it bothered the werewolves. Unlike me, they could see clearly in the night and they have furs to keep them warm.I stood beside Alpha Deucalion as he watches his pack rest for the night. The clothes I was still in were wet. My body shivers cold. I leaned against him trying to find warmth in his fur."Follow me," he told.I did, not questioning where he was taking me.We stopped at a large tree away from everyone. Where they could not see us."Take off your clothes," Alpha Deucalion instructed me.I was surprised by his remark. I froze speechlessly."Do as I say," he again instructed me.My head kept away from his. I was afraid to. I felt uncomfortable stripping myself before a man much less a werewolf. I've never done it before.Alpha Deucalion sense I was tense by his remark."You'll become sick if you allow your clothes to be dry on you," h
Alpha Deucalion was filled with wrath when he saw Bazaar. His blood was boiling for revenge. He growled showing his sharp teeth and speedily ran to him."Kill him!" Bazaar ordered his men.His men shifted and stormed after the alpha ready for their kill.I ran for cover inside a building terrified. From a broken window I watched worriedly as alpha Deucalion fought with the six werewolves. They were no match for him. He killed one in less than a minute ripping their heads from their body, and sputtering blood all over the ground. Each time he made a kill, the heavy rain pouring down washed away their blood. As if it was cleaning up after him. It was now down to two werewolves competing against the powerful alpha. My eyes motioned to Bazaar standing in the rain."Kill him you weakling!" he shouted infuriated. Knowing he was losing, badly. None of his men could kill Alpha Deucalion. They were no match for him.Alpha Deucalion growled with rage at Bazaar, killing the last werewolf. I cove
My bedroom door slammed behind me locking me in my room. I catch my breath sitting down on the side of my bed. I couldn't take my mind off the blooded eye beast, the leader of all the other werewolves and the powerful one everyone is now terrified of, who had killed his own kind for my safety. I rec
Of the false alarm last night I had managed to get some sleep, but not enough to make my body feel well rested. I woke up early before my mom. Through a tiny hole in the window, I could see that the place was barely bright outside which was still not safe for me to leave. I sat down until I could se
Delaphine and I made our way to the front of the large crowd waiting for the meeting to begin. "What horrible news will they give us now," I heard a female worried voice within the crowd. "I don't know," someone answered her. "It must be about more hunters being killed by werewolves." Delaphine r
Have you ever made the biggest mistake that haunts you every day of your life? Well, I have. It was many years ago when I was only 6 years old. The memory is so clear that sometimes I feel like I'm again there, standing in the same spot surrounded by fences, and before me, was a blood-red-eyed boy.
