ALESSANDRO GAMBINO (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 2
Nang makarating sa airport si Ale ay ipinarada niya ang sasakyan at iniwan ang susi sa loob. He doesn't care if someone steals his car away. All they need to do is pay the parking ticket dahil hindi nila mailalabas ang kotse kung hindi bayad 'yon. He doesn't have a sentimental bone in his body. Naniniwala siya na temporary lang ang lahat sa mundo. At katulad ng kotse niya, kahit mawala 'yon ay wala siyang pakialam. He can always buy a new one. He would have booked his ticket online but there was a better chance that he would get a ticket this way. He approached the ground stewardess at the counter. She's slightly older than him but nevertheless, pretty. "Good evening. One way ticket to Manila, please." "Good evening, Sir. I would have to check as we have a lot of passengers tonight. It's peak season." She started typing while looking at the computer screen. Ale waited patiently. "I'll triple the fare if someone would give up their seat. I need to leave tonight," dagdag pa niya.

She didn't answer him and Ale felt irritated. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit ganito ang reaction niya sa babaeng ito. Granted— she's pretty. Very pretty. But she is the most annoying woman he has ever met! Naiinis ba siya sa babae dahil hindi ito interesado sa kaniya? Is it because she wounded his ego? Nagpakawala si Ale nang isang malalim na hininga at isinandal ang likod sa upuan. The other passengers were still trying to get into their seat at dahil punuan ay crowded ang aisle. The overhead compartment remained open for the others to put their carry on. Sapul sana sa ulo ang masungit na babaeng katabi niya kung hindi siya naging maagap na masalo ang backpack ng isang pasahero. Inis na ibinalik 'yon ni Ale sa lalaki. "I'm sorry, Miss. Are you okay?" apologetic na wika ng isang foreigner kay P. "I'm fine." Ngumiti si P sa estranghero at iyon ang nagpakunot ng noo ni Ale. Halos magdikit ang mga kilay nito sa inis. How can she smile at that careless man, pero sa kaniyang sumalo

Kindat lang pala ang katapat ni P. Hindi na ito nakapagsalita at lihim s’yang natuwa. The woman was a puzzle to him. It fascinated him how P can rile so much emotions in him so quickly. She has a smart mouth. Naisip niyang baka lawyer ito dahil napakatabil. Pero napailing din s’ya pagkatapos. Parang napakabata pa nito para maging abogada. Baka nga nasa kolehiyo pa ito. Dear God, Ale. Magiging cradle snatcher ka pa yata. Tulog. Kain. Tulog. Kain. Iyon lang ang ginawa niya sa natitirang oras sa loob ng eroplano. Hindi na muling yumakap si P sa kaniya. Still, having her near helped him sleep quicker. Naisip niyang baka ang amoy ng shampoo nito ang dahilan. Or maybe it was her presence. Whatever it was, he liked it. Pansamantala niyang nakaligtaan ang sakit na naramdaman sa pagpapakasal ng kapatid sa babaeng itinatangi niya. Time heals all wounds, they say. Pero para sa kaniya, hindi naman talaga 'yon naghihilom. You just learn to live with the pain and hope that tomorrow would be bett

The woman is going to be the death of him. How hard is it to say his fly was open and not say anything else? Napaka-pilya talaga at bagay na bagay ang pangalan nito sa ugali. Tawagin ba namang baby 'yong kaniya?! The woman clearly needed prescription eyeglasses if she think he's small!Ale managed to finish his soup at ganoon din ang babae. The stewardess came to clean up and afterwards, the forms they need to fill out were handed out to them. Patapos na siya nang mahulog ang ballpen ni P at nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataon na makita ang papel nito. Pietra Isabella Profaci. Napakunot pa ang noo ni Ale nang mapansin ang edad ng babae. She's not as young as he thought. "Did you just snoop on my paperwork?" Nakaangil na naman ito sa kaniya. "Tsk. Bintangera." He kept a straight face, pero inirapan siya ni P at saka mabilis na itinabi ang passport at form.She was holding an Italian passport. P was probably on a working visa or just plain tourist in New York. He was born and raised in New

“Hindi ako lampa,” mariing tanggi ni P. “Oh? Natakid ka sa Australia kaya mo nakilala si Taylor. And the other day at the park, you did the same thing to me. Is that your way of—“ Taylor shot a warning look at Ale. “Making friends?” Hindi niya itinuloy ang gustong sabihin. It wasn’t appropriate anyway.“Kung ikaw din lang, hindi na.” Inirapan siya ng babae. That left him dumbfounded, habang si Taylor ay nagpipigil ng tawa. He kept quiet after that. The woman is clearly nuts, at hindi niya alam kung paano natatagalan ito ni Taylor. Para bang kahit ano’ng sabihin niya sa babae ay offensive ang dating. At isa pa, napakadali nitong maasar sa kaniya. Well, ganoon din naman siya kaya amanos lang sila. Ipinikit na lang niya ang mga mata kaya tuluyang maubos ang pasens’ya kay P. Sa traffic at pagod ay nakatulog s’ya sa biyahe. Nang maalimpungatan ay naka-park na ang sasakyan sa harap ng isang condo, kaya nagtatakang tiningnan niya ang kaibigan.“Tay, I’m staying at the hotel,” wika niya ba

Taylor drove him to the hotel, at naiwan si P sa condo. She was tired from the trip and went straight to bed after they ate. Hindi niya alam kung mananatili si P sa Maynila o sa Sta. Monica ito titigil. Hindi niya maintindihan ang sarili kung bakit aligaga siya. He should not care where P stayed, but there is that pull he keeps trying to resist. Iba si P sa lahat ng babaeng nakilala niya. “She’s different, no?” Hindi siya umimik at hinayaan ang kaibigan na magsalita. “Pietra came from the Profacis of Palermo. Have you heard about them? They are the leading suppliers of diamonds in Italy and the majority of Europe.” That meant she came from old money, Ale thought to himself. “What does she do for a living?” “She’s an architect— a really good one. P works for one of the top firms in New York as a consultant,” sagot nito sa kaniya. There’s a hint of pride in his voice towards Pietra. “Mayaman naman sila. Bakit kailangan niyang magtrabaho para sa iba? She doesn’t even need to work at

“What the—“ Nalaglag sa sahig si Ale mula sa kama at ‘yon ang nagpagising sa kaniya. Gising na si P at ngayon ay nagniningas ang matang nakatingin sa kaniya habang nakaupo sa gitna ng kama. Magulo ang buhok ng babae at para itong leon na anytime ay sasagpangin siya. “Ano’ng ginawa mo sa akin?!” Maang na napatingin si Ale at saka tumayo para harapin ang babae. “Ginawa— Are you serious?” Lalong tumalim ang tingin nito sa kaniya at kumuyom ang mga kamao. “Ano naman sa tingin mo ang gagawin ko sa ‘yo?”“Magtatanong ba ako kung alam ko?” masungit nitong tanong sa kaniya.She was loud and Ale’s head is hurting from drinking last night and lack of sleep. Nang mahagip ng mga mata niya ang orasan ay wala pang alas sais ng umaga. This woman will be the death of him.“Ako na nga ang nagmagandang loob, ako pa ang masama?” Pietra looked lost. “Sa sobrang saya mo kagabi, naparami ang inom mo. Taylor left early kaya naiwan ka sa akin. And I didn’t have the keys to his condo, so I brought you here.”

Ale made a call downstairs and ordered a few things for P. As much as she is okay going out without a brassiere, mababaliw si Ale kapag nagsimulang mag-attract ng atens’yon si P sa mga lalaki. Baka bumaha ng dugo sa hotel. He can’t understand his feelings right now but something is off with him when it comes to Pietra. Kahit hindi sila nagkakasundo sa maraming bagay, may mga pagkakataon na lihim siyang napapangiti nito. She talks a lot. She talks back at him. But he loves how she can freely speak her mind and not be afraid of the repercussions. A true Profaci princess— that’s what she is. Ibinilin niya kay P na i-receive ang order niya kapag dumating ito. Tanda niya ang sukat nito. She’s a 34B cup. It’s perfect for her size. It’s not too big, but not too small. He even ordered a new underwear to match and a pantyliner to boot. Tatlo silang magkakapatid na lalaki, pero hindi naman siya tanga para hindi malaman ang mga gamit ng babae. Back then, he wanted to know what women need so wh

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
