ALESSANDRO GAMBINO (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 13
"That was one good wave! Did you see me?" tanong ni P nang makalapit sa kaniya. Akala niya ay hindi na ito lulubayan ng mga nakikipagkilala. Kaunti na lang talaga at mauubos na ang pasensiya niya kanina. He was about to walk towards her and picked her up. Isasampay na sana niya ito sa balikat na parang sako. Mainit na nga ang panahon, mainit pa ang bumbunan niya. "It was a good wave and you did really well," puri niya sa babae. Saglit itong natigilan at parang na-shock. "What?" Damn! Did he say the wrong thing again? "Did you just give me a compliment?" Kumunot ang noo ni Ale. "You did, didn't you?" Tumawa si Pietra at saka naghalungkat sa bag. Napangiwi ito nang hindi makita ang hinahanap pero kaagad din nagliwanag ang mukha nang mapatingin sa hawak niya. "Uy! Akin na lang 'yan!" Kinuha ni P ang kamay niyang may kapit na flat tops. Isinubo nito 'yon at bahagya pang dumampi ang gilid ng labi nito sa kaniyang daliri. Shit. What she did was enough to set him on fire. Kakaiba talaga

Nang sumunod na gabi ay bihis na bihis si Pietra. She was wearing a turquoise maxi dress at nakalugay ang buhok nito. P had waves on her hair and aside from a little blush and lipstick, wala na siyang ibang kolorete sa mukha. “Where are you going?” Ale just went out for a walk. Nakatanggap siya ng tawag mula kay Estefan kanina at kinukumusta siya. Pauwi ito ng Pilipinas ng isang linggo at gustong makipagkita kung libre siya. “On a date.” P was putting on some bangles at saka isinunod ang manipis na hoop earrings. She looked absolutely stunning. “What? With whom?” Ale does not like this at all. Lumabas lang siya saglit, pagbalik ay may date na ito. “Emilio. He’s on vacation too. He saw me surfing yesterday then we bump into each other at the lobby earlier.”Lalong nagsalubong ang kilay ni Ale. Emilio is a man! Natural! May Emilio bang babae?“When?” Yamot siyang kumuha ng long sleeves at isinuot. It matched his black shorts perfectly. Hinarap siya ni P. “May date ka rin?” Hindi ni

Hindi siya pinansin ni P hanggang makapagbihis ito sa banyo at mahiga sa kama. Hindi naman niya ito ginambala sa date katulad ng sabi nito. What did he do wrong now? “Are you going to sleep mad?”“Hindi ako galit,” angil nito sa kaniya. Ale mouthed the word ‘wow’ silently. Hindi raw galit pero halatang halata sa tinig. Hindi na niya ito kinulit at nagpalipas na lang ng oras sa pagbabasa. Mabuti na lang at may WiFi. He’s reading something about poisonous spiders at the moment. Pagkaraan ng isang oras ay nakaramdam siya ng antok. P is already asleep. Nakaharap na ito sa kaniya ngayon at pikit. Kanina ay nakakumot ito pero nasipa na at ngayon ay nakabaluktot. Ale got up and fixed it. Nagtalo ang isip niya kung gagawaran ito ng goodnight kiss o hindi. In the end, he chose not to. Ayaw niya ng complication sa buhay niya and P is already getting him rattled with so many things. ***Nang matapos ang bakasyon ni P sa Siargao ay hindi ito tumuloy sa sunod na destination. Nag-aya itong umuwi

Ngumiti siya kay P. She was clearly challenging him at hindi siya bale para pumatol. By now, nakukuha na rin niya ang ugali nito. Mamaya ay baka masampal pa s’ya ng wala sa oras. Tumuwid ng tayo si Ale. “Do you want to go out for a stroll later? Ililibre kita ng ice cream.”P’s face fell. May nasabi ba siyang masama? He’s totally acting like a gentleman here. “If you don’t want ice cream, we can do halo-halo or mais con yelo. I want something cold.”Hindi siya sinagot ni P at sa halip, niligpit nito ang gamit. She stood up and walked away from him. Ano’ng nangyari roon? Napailing na lang s’ya sa babae. Baka nga darating na ang period nito kaya moody. ***Kung ayaw nitong sumama ay okay lang. Taylor is busy with business kaya hindi niya inabala ito. Nang sumapit ang alas dos y media ng hapon ay lumabas s’ya. His car is an attraction to this town at nang umibis s’ya ng sasakyan ay nabaling naman ang pansin ng mga tao sa kaniya. Isang maliit na canteen ang napili niya at saka naupo. L

Ale told P what happened at the canteen minus a few details. He made it sound like he was interested with Maui kahit hindi naman niya ito type. "You know what, you don't make sense. If you really like this girl, get to know her. Bring her flowers or chocolates or bilhan mo ng isang dosenang halo-halo. I don't get this fake girlfriend thing. Mga paandar na ganito ang kinayayamutan ko." P complained while he listened. Lulan sila ng kotse at nagmamaneho s'ya papunta sa canteen. Inaya nila si Taylor pero busy daw ito kaya hindi sasama. The weather in Sta. Monica today was a little hot for their liking at tamang tama ang halo-halo para lumamig ang mga ulo nila. In his case, pati 'yong nasa baba ay damay dahil dalawang gabi na s'yang hindi makatulog ng maayos. Nagigising s'yang pawis na pawis at laman ng panaginip niya si P. The woman is driving him nuts with those erotic dreams he's been having. "Then why did you come? Pwede ka naman tumanggi?" "And miss out on a good halo-halo? Beside

P was all smiles even after they left the canteen. Nakahahawa ang ngiti nito kaya imbes na dumiretso ng uwi, nag-stroll sila. They don’t know where they are, but as long as they have gas, they will keep exploring.They found a lookout and Ale parked the car. Excited na parang bata si P na lumabas ng kotse at tinanaw ang bayan ng Sta. Monica. “The view from the top is great.”Tumabi s’ya kay P at sumandal sa hood ng sasakyan. Tumingin s’ya sa babae. “Yes, it is.”Lumingon ito sa kaniya at ngumiti. “Thanks for the treat earlier. Okay naman ang acting ko?” Ale smiled a little and nodded. Acting or not, he thought she was a good kisser. "Have you been to West Palm Beach?" "Florida?" P nodded. "Yes, when I was younger. I went there with a few friends after high school graduation. I actually celebrated my birthday as well while we were there. I went back to New York after that trip then left for Australia the next day to attend university. That's how I met Tay." "W-Were you dating anyon

Napaamang si P at hindi 'yon inasahan ni Ale. Bakit parang nagulat ito? If she knew all along who he was, then she shouldn't look like this. "Remember in Florida? I was your first kiss." Hindi pa rin siya sumuko. Malakas ang kutob niyang ito ang batang babae noon. Kung bakit ayaw aminin ay hindi niya maintindihan. She smirked. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you can't be my first kiss. I had a boyfriend and his name is Romeo. We went to school together." Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng selos. "Romeo? If you're going to lie, pick some name that are not from a famous book or movie, Pietra." Tumawa ito at umiling. "Why would I lie? Ano naman ang mapapala ko kung magsinungaling ako sa 'yo?" And now, he is beginning to think he made a mistake. "Kung sino man 'yong Gambina mo, hindi ako 'yon kaya relax ka lang. Kung kayo talaga, magtatagpo kayo ulit." The woman even tapped his arm lightly a few times. "Tila na ang ulan. Umuwi na tayo at baka hinahanap na tayo ni Taylor." It's be

VANCOUVER, BC"What time should we meet?" She was on the phone with Cas. Hindi niya alam na pupunta rin ito sa Vancouver para bisitahin ang mga pinsan. If she knew, nagsabay na lang sana sila. "Well, what time do you finish your workshop?" "Uhm, four in the afternoon. I am staying in the same hotel where the conference is so I have time to get ready.""That's convenient. What do you feel like having? Steak? Seafood? Chicken? I would cook for you if I had my own place here, but I don't so I'm going to take you out." Alam niya ang sinasabi nito. The Carnegie family is close knit. Palibhasa ay napakatipid gumawa ng bata ng mga ito kaya kapag may pagkakataon ay palaging nagkikita-kita. It was a surprise for her dahil usually, most British family are reserved and see each other during the holidays. Hindi ka basta pwedeng bumisita with short notice. "I will eat anything. I am not picky." She was in the washroom at may kinse minutos silang break from the workshop. Nagreretouch s'ya ng ma

The smell of ammonia was what woke him up. He found himself still on the floor and P was on the bed waiting for him to open his eyes. Ang doktor na tinawag niya ay nagpunta sa bahay para i-check si P. May kasama rin itong isang nurse. Umupo muna siya sa sahig at kahit hilo ay tinangka na lumipat sa kama. Hinaplos ni P ang pisngi niya saka siya ginawaran ng halik sa labi."What happened?" Tumawa si P. "Hinimatay ka." He made a sour face. "I meant—""I'm pregnant. I need to get an ultrasound done but the doctor is thinking I'm about five to six weeks along." He was so happy he couldn't speak. He is going to be a father... Hindi siya marunong humawak ng bata. Paano ba magpalit ng diaper? Okay naman siya sa pagpupuyat. Kahit huwag na siyang matulog sa pagbabantay at—"Ale?" His train of thoughts were suddenly stopped when he heard P's voice."Sorry. You were saying?"Tumikhim ang doktora. "We will give you a few minutes before we take your blood samples." Lumabas ito ng silid kasunod a

P was very patient with him and held his hand every step of the way. Ang hindi niya lang ginawa ay ang pagkonsulta sa doktor. He doesn't need it. What he needs is someone who will listen to him. He realized how he bottled up everything inside and now he's paying for it. He told P every single memory he has growing up— good or bad. P is the only therapist he needs. "So he wasn't always bad to you?" Umiling siya. "He is not really. It's hard to explain. Think of it as I will never be good enough as his son.""Well, that's because you're not his." They were out in the balcony and it's been a couple of months since Alejandro and Gabriella's death.May routine sila ni P na uminom ng tsa sa gabi sa balcony at saka mag-uusap. They had talks before but never like this. This time, he's pouring everything out. Mas madaling maging masaya kapag ni-let go na niya ang lahat ng masasamang pangyayari sa buhay niya. Hindi niya makakalimutan, pero hindi rin niya kailangang alalahanin pa at pabigatin
ALESSANDRO GAMBINO (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 65
Hindi matanggap ni Gabriella ang kapalaran na sinapit niya kay Alejandro. They were friends. They grew up together. She can't believe that after everything, he would do such a horrible act to her. It wasn't even because he loved her. Love isn't selfish. Love doesn't envy. Alejandro was blinded by his hate and jealousy to Alessandro. At his young mind, it was instilled that he has to do better so he would be Don someday. He gained it by birthright, but even that wasn't real. "I want a divorce." Gabriella's voice was firm. Napatawa si Alejandro. "You really think you'd be free from me, Gabriella?" "I will do whatever you want, just set me free. I will not tell a soul about your family's secret." She was hoping she would be able to persuade him. Ayaw na niyang makisama sa asawang hindi niya kayang pagkatiwalaan. Masyadong mahaba ang habambuhay. At kung hindi siya pakakawalan nito ay mas nanaisin pa niyang wakasan ang buhay niya. Sa imp'yerno rin naman ang tungo niya. How her life

He and Pietra flew home to the Philippines, but didn't take their original flight. TJ arranged something else for them and made sure they are safe. He asked Pietra for some time before they talk about what happened at ilang araw pagkatapos nilang makabalik sa Pilipinas ay hindi na ito nakatiis sa pananahimik niya."Ale, I know you're grieving your family but sometimes, it helps when you talk about it. I will not hold it against you. I am here to listen," bulong nito sa kaniya matapos yumakap. Ever since they came home, he's been keeping to himself. Aside from spending a few hours in the restaurant, uuwi siya sa bahay para makasama si P. He would prepare meals for the both of them. Inaalagaan niya ito. Pero pagdating ng gabi, nahihirapan siyang matulog. Kahit sa panaginip ay nakikita niya ang pagbangga at pagsabog ng kotse ni Alejandro. Pati ang pagkamatay ni Gabriella ay sumasagi sa isip niya. "If you don't want to talk to me, talk to someone. Please, Ale. I don't want you to get sic

The family is in chaos and he is nowhere near the Gambinos. He followed his instinct and went to New Jersey where P would be. Sana lang ay nadala ito roon nina Rob. Surprisingly, TJ owns a home there at ibinigay niya kay P pati na kay Rob at Magnus ang address nito kung sakaling magkaroon ng problema sa pagbabalik niya. He has never been there so he doesn't know what it's like. Baka nasa isang secluded na lugar ang bahay nito katulad sa headquarters nila sa San Servando. Deep inside he hoped that he wasn't going to use it. He drove despite being tired. His only goal was to see P and be with her. Bahala na kung ano ang kasunod na mangyayari. Driving thru the city was brutal until after what seemed like forever, he reached a family neighbourhood. Bergen County has contemporary homes and the one on the right side at the end of the street was the one he was looking for. It's not secluded at all. In fact, it was a beautiful home if only it's occupied by a couple and their children. Pero

"I'll take my chances."Kung gaano siya kabilis dumating ay ganoon din siya kabilis na tumalikod sa kapatid at nilisan ang restaurant na 'yon. Magnus and Rob are with P at hindi pababayaan ng dalawa ang fiancee niya. Narinig niya ang pagpukpok ni Alejandro sa kamao nito sa mesa at hindi natutuwa sa ginawa niya. "No wonder you were the least favorite in the family, Alessandro. You've always been different and yet Dad kept you."Alejandro's father only kept him to serve a purpose and that's to bury a secret. He has yet to find out what it is but he already knew that he is not going to like it— whatever it is. "That's fine. I don't care," sagot niya sa kapatid at hindi man lang ito nilingon. His brother knew fully well not to create a scene in public that would tarnish the business. Kaya nga siya ang inuutusan nito noon para magligpit ng kalat. Alejandro doesn't have it in him— he is simply... weak.He started calling P but she wasn't answering. He tried Rob and Morgan but they did not

"What time is it?" tanong ni P sa kaniya. It's been a couple of days since they bought the ring and P has been wearing it proudly. Kahit nang pumasok ito sa opisina at magfile ng bakasyon ay isinama pa siya. Tonight, they are flying home to the Philippines. P will be working for a month then use her two months worth vacation. They are planning to visit Spain and Estefan was kind enough to let them use one his houses. "About one in the afternoon. Why?" "I need to buy some art supplies." "Sasamahan kita." He had a rough night trying to read what he can about his family. Si TJ ang nagsend sa kaniya ng mga dokumento. Inumaga na siya sa pagbabasa at dahil agahan na, nagluto na rin siya ng kakainin nila "No, you should get some sleep. You were busy reading last night. It's best you take a nap. Babalik din ako kaagad. Do you need anything while I'm out?""Maybe some new boxers?" "Pink okay?" Sinamaan niya ng tingin ang nobya. "I'm kidding." P tiptoes and kiss his lips. "I'll take the g

A phone rang and Emma excused herself to take the call outside. She thought about it and weigh the consequences. She didn't want to start a war. Profacis never start a war. When she heard the door opened and shut shortly, she came out of the cubicle and went straight to the sink to wash her hands. Wala siyang balak batiin ang babae at makipagplastikan. Her contract was over and the Lexington home has been taken over by another designer from her firm. Alejandro didn't give a fuss over it and let her rest. By the time she was feeling well, the renovations are done and there's no point in talking to him anymore. "Miss Profaci. Fancy seeing you here. I don't believe I've seen you here before," bati nito sa kaniya na para bang walang ginawang mali. She didn't bother to respond or acknowledge her presence. As much as possible, she wants to maintain her cool. Ayaw niyang sirain ang magandang araw nila ni Ale. They just got engaged, and although there are no details yet for their wedding—

TIFFANY & CO., 5th Avenue They made it to the jewelry store after lunch. P's family has connections so does his. However, they didn't have need to use any of them. Tor knew the manager of the store who owed him his life some years ago. The champagne was flowing and everything just looked sparkly wherever they look. "How many rings am I allowed to get?" nakangising tanong sa kaniya ni P. For someone who didn't want a ring earlier, she's now giggling and excited to pick not just one— but several. She looked like a little kid waiting for Christmas to open her gift. P was simply adorable. "You can have one on each finger if wish. Add each toes if you like too." He flashed her a smile and P grabbed both his cheeks and kissed him on the lips. "Just kidding. I want you to pick one for me, actually." Tumaas ang isa niyang kilay. Kinuha ni P ang kaniyang braso at isinampay sa sariling balikat at sumandig sa dibdib niya. "If I pick it, it doesn't feel romantic." She chuckled. "It would fee
