Tahimik ang kanilang naging hapunan pero katatwang may naramdaman siyang kasiyahan. It felt good having dinner with him in a fancy but cozy fine dining restaurant, it was intimate and romantic. Hindi niya maiwasang hindi mangarap habang kasama ito.
Nang makapasok sa loob ng bahay ay nilinga niya ito. Nahuli niya itong nakakunot-noo subalit agad ding nawala ang pangungunot. He looked at her flatly as if waiting for what she was about to say.
"Salamat sa—" Nabitin ang pasasalamat niya rito nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses ni Rebecca.
"I'm back!"
Sabay silang napatingin ni Malcolm sa may direksiyon ng hagdan kung saan pababa si Rebecca na may ngiti sa mga labi habang

"I'M NOT doing business with you, Mr. Ferell," he announced flatly."But why, Mr. Peters? FFCC's performance for the past ten years had been excellent. Totoong bumaba ang sales ngayon taon pero dahil lang iyon sa problemang kinakaharap ng ating ekonomiya ngayon at ilang kakompentisyon sa market. I'm sure that an investment from you would set everything to motion."Malcolm glanced at his wristwatch and then ended his conversation with Mr. Ferell. He wasted enough time already.Tumayo siya mula sa kinauupuan at hindi pinansin ang pagtawag ng may katandaang businessman.Matagal na siyang tumangi sa investment na hinihingi ng Ferell Food and Canning Company. He had seen their business plan, it was true that the company's financial performance for the past years were excellent. Subalit ngayong taon ay malaki ang inilugi ng kompanya, it was on the verge on filing a bankruptcy.&nbs

Ilang sandali nalang bago magsimula ang party para sa kaarawan ni Malcolm kaya tinapos na niya ang pag-aayos. Pagbukas niya ng pinto ng silid upang lumabas ay natigilan siya nang makita ang isang pamilyar na lalaki na nabitin ang kamay sa ire at hindi naituloy ang pagkatok.Namilog ang kanyang mga mata nang maalala kung bakit ito pamilyar. "Sebastian?!" she exclaimed in surprise. What was he doing here?Pinasadahan niya ito ng tingin ng wala sa loob. He was wearing jeans, a white shirt and a black leather jacket. Hindi ito mukhang nakikiparty.Bumalik ang kanyang paningin sa mukha nito at nag-init ang mukha nang makita itong nakangisi sa kanya at naglalaro ang kaaliwan sa mga mata."Pasado ba?"Lalong nag-init ang kanyang mukha ngunit nakahinga lang ng maluwag nang marinig ang marahan nitong tawa.The man was gorgeous and masculine at the same time. Lalong nakadagdag sa taglay nitong karisma ang ngiti sa mga labi."I

"She's gone, Ms. Lopez." Iyon ang tanging laman ng kanyang isipan habang patungo sa ospital. Nang makarating doon ay tumakbo na siya hanggang sa makarating sa loob ng silid ng kanyang ina.When she entered the room, her body suddenly froze. Isang katawan ang tinabunan ng puting tela ang sumalubong sa kanya. Naroon din ang dalawang hospital attendant na akmang kukunin na iyon."Ms. Lopez, I'm—"Umiling si Magenta at tinabig ang kamay ng private nurse ng kanyang ina nang hawakan siya nito. No! What she said earlier over the phone wasn't true! Hindi puwedeng mawala ang kanyang ina. Baka nagkamali lang ito, ang mga doktor.Dahan-dahan niyang inihakbang ang mga paa patungo sa taong tinakluban ng puting kumot. Tumabi ang hospital attendant at hinayaan siya na hawakan ang tela.She sighed shakily while her tears kept on falling. With her shaking hands, dahan-dahan niyang inangat an

MAGENTA YAWNED and tilted her head in the direction of the road.Tahimik na sa labas ngunit may mangilan-ngilan pa ring sasakyan ang dumadaan. Ang mga katapat na establisimiyento ay sarado na.Siya lang ang naroon sa loob ng convenience store na iyon sa ganoong oras, subalit wala siyang naramdamang takot sa dibdib. Handa at tanggap niya kung may mangyari man sa kanya. Nag-iisa na rin naman siya sa buhay.Nang kausapin niya ang may-ari ng convenienve na pinagtatrabahuan noon na gusto niyang bumalik muli ay tinanggap siya nito. Wala itong ibang mahanap na magduduty sa gabi dahil sa takot na mapahamak. Talamak ang nakawan sa street na iyon at marami na ang napahamak dahil do'n.Magenta never felt even a tinge of hesitation. She needed that job, hindi dahil nangangapos siya sa pera. Kailangan niya nang mapagkakaabalahan upang hindi malugmok sa lungkot at pangungulila. She worked at the salon in the morning and at the convenience store at night.Kung tu

MAGENTA WAS standing there for almost half an hour, but she couldn't bring herself to knock.She can remember the first time she went to that place, her chest was pounding hard in nervousness. Right now, she also felt nervous, but unlike the first time, her veins were rushing in anticipation.Inayos niya ang pagkakasukbit ng bag sa kanyang balikat na may lamang ilang kapirasong damit, kapagkuwan au humugot ng malalim na buntung-hininga. Tatlong araw rin niyang pinag-isipan ang gagawin, hindi man iyon ang pinakamatalinong desisyon at masasabing tama subalit iyon ang gusto niya.Nang magkaroon siya ng lakas ng loob na ipahayag sa may-ari ng bahay ang kanyang presensiya ay siya namang pagbukas ng pinto niyon na ikinatigil niya."H-Hi..." she muffled and bit her lip for stammering.She saw him glancing at her lips before turning his back on her. Pumasok siya at isinarado ang pinto pagkatapos.Natigilan siya sa pinakagitna ng bahay nito habang pi

SHE LOOKED AT the time on her phone. It was past midnight. She was waiting for a ride to take her home. Katatapos lang ng pang-gabing trabaho niya.Magenta was about to hail the cab approaching her direction when a red car stopped in front of her.Natigilan siya at hindi agad makahuma. Pamilyar ang sasakyan sa kanya.Nang bumusina ang driver niyon ay napapitlag siya kasabay nang pagbukas ng pinto sa may direksiyon ng passenger's seat.Yumuko siya at sumilip sa loob, tama ang kutob niya na sasakyan iyon ni Malcolm. She stepped inside with a nagging question in her head.Ano ang ginagawa nito roon? Kanina pa natapos ang trabaho nito, nasa bahay na dapat ito ngayon at nagpapahinga. At the same time, nakakaramdam siya ng kasiyahan sa pagsundo nito sa kanya."Do you have to work?""Ha?" gulat na bulalas niya at napatingin rito na siyang nagmamaneho. Hindi niya inaasahan ang tanong na iyon, hindi mula rito. "Oo naman.""You can tell

KANINA PA hindi mapakali si Magenta. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin kung paano pagaanin ang loob ng kasama niya bahay.Kanina pa siya nito hindi pinapansin o tinatapunan ng tingin. Ngunit sa tuwing nasusulyapan niya ang mga mata ay nakikita niya ang pinaghalong galit at lungkot doon.Mula sa pagkakaupo sa gilid ng kama ay sinulyapan niya ito na nakatayo sa may teresa. Nakasandal ang mga kamay sa may railings at nakatuon ang mga mata sa kadiliman at marahil ay nag-iisip.She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to begin.Isang pagkalalim-lalim na buntung-hininga ang kanyang pinakawalan bago tumayo, isinuot ang tsinelas na nasa paanan ng kama at humakbag palabas sa may teresa.Hindi niya masabi kung naramdaman ba nito ang kanyang paglapit dahip napakalayo ng tingin nito. Tumabi siya rito at tumingala sa kalangitan. Maliwanag iyon at puno ng bituin, malaki ang buwan na tila nakangiti sa kanila habang nakadungaw.P

"Get in the back of the car."Adrenaline rushed and anticipation surged through her. Nahuhulaan niya ang gusto nitong mangyari, naroon ang kaba sa kanyang dibdib nab aka mahuli sila subalit mas lamang ang antipasyon at pagkasabik.Binuksan niya ang pinto sa may likurang upuan ng kotse nito at pumasok, kapagkuwan ay sumunod ito sa kanya.Wala silang sinayang na sandali at agad na nagtagpo ang mga labi. He let her straddled him. Hinawi nito ang kanyang damit at strapless na bra at nilukob ang kanyang dibdib gamit ang mga kamay nito.She grinded on top him and whimpered when Malcolm's lips found her breasts and sucked each alternately. Magenta can feel the painfully steely maleness so her hand moved to his fly and opened it. Ipinasok niya ang kamay sa loob ng slacks nito at inilabas ang matigas nitong pagkalalaki roon habang patuloy ito sa pananalasa sa kanyang dibdib at leeg.She stroked Malcolm's shaft bago hinawi ang kanyang

NAGISING SI Magenta nang maramdaman ang brasong yumakap sa kanyang katawan."Hmm..." she moaned softly when he gave her shoulder light kisses. "Merry Christmas," he whispered to her ear tenderly. Tumihaya ng higa si Magenta at ikurap-kurap ang namimigat pa niyang mga mata. Kapagkuwan ay banayad siyang ngumiti nang luminaw ang kanyang paningin at makita si Malcolm na nakatingin sa kanya. Tumaas ang kanyang kamay patungo sa ulo nito at masuyong hinaplos ang buhok ni Malcolm patungo sa pisngi nito habang nanatiling magkahugpong ang kanilang mga mata. Her heart was beating too fast, Malcolm was staring at her with too much affection in his eyes. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya masanay-sanay, there were still butterflies fluttering inside her tummy, her veins were racing, her senses were in haywire every time Malcolm was with her."Merry Christmas, Mal," she said while caressing his lips. Napatingin siya sa mga labi nito, she wanted to feel its softness. At hindi siya nabigo dahil

"I never had an ideal family. My mother was a typical mother, she loves her children among anything else, but I had a sorry excuse for a father... Marcus."I grew up witnessing him hurting my mother, but I couldn't do anything to stop him. Marcus was insecure, he was proud, arrogant, and he was always paranoid. He was raised by a single mother, a worker at my grandfather's company on my mother's side. Marcus' mother was ambitious, she wanted to marry her son to a wealthy family. He forced Marcus to woo my mother, Marcus did everything to have her, he became obsessive in the process. Years after they got married, Marcus' obsession with her had gotten out of hand. He would suspect every guy that got close to my mother. Particularly Dominic, who had a history with my mother. "Marcus was jealous of Dominic.

"Sit down, Malcolm," utos ni Gail nang akmang tatayo ang binata. She sighed deeply and looked at her nephew sympathetically. "I was with Marcus with his last minutes, Mal. He wanted me to deliver a message to you."Malcolm groaned in disapproval, he didn't want to hear it. "He had Alzheimer's! What message could he possibly want you to tell me when he couldn't remember me! When he couldn't remember what he did to my mother! To my whole family! I loathe him, Gail! He should have suffered in his last moment because of the crime he had committed to my family, but he couldn't remember a thing! He couldn't remember!" Malcolm burst. His voice raised in anger.Umiling si Gail nang marinig ang outburst ng pamangkin. Naiintindihan niya kung bakit ito nagagalit sa pagka-alala sa ama, ngunit kailangan niyang sabihin ang mga salitang gustong iparating ni Marcus dito. "No, Mal. He remembered. Marcus hadn't completely forgotten everything he did, there

TUMIHAYA NG HIGA si Malcolm nang maalimpungatan. Hindi niya agad napansin na nasa dulo na siya ng kama kaya nahulog siya sa sahig. "Shit!" he muttered an oath crispily as he felt the pain in his back, but it was nothing compare to the throbbing of his head. Sumandig siya sa kama at mariing napapikit habang pinapahupa ang pananakit ng kanyang ulo dahil sa hangover. Nang ituwid niya ang mga binti at may matamaang kung anong bagay ay nagmulat siya ng mga mata subalit matindi pa rin ang pagkakunot ng noo at pagtatagis ng mga bagang. The hangover was hellish. Sinipa niya ang bote ng alak na wala nang laman at agad na gumulong patungo sa mga iba pa. He groaned, seeing how many empty bottles were on the floor, they were evidence that he had drunk last night to oblivion. Pinilit niyang tumayo para lang muling mapasalampak ng higa ng pahalang sa kanyang kama. His body was too heavy to move, at ang ulo niya ay para bang minamartilyo. That was the wo

Inabot ni Suzette ang kamay ni Magenta at pinisil ang palad nito. Alam niya ang gusto nitong sabihin kahit na hindi nito naituloy iyon. Some feelings were just too strong to let go anNatatd forget."I know I am in no position to give you advice, after all, I am the reason why this is happening... No, Jen," mabilis na pigil ni Suzette kay Magenta na akmang kukuntrahin naman ang kanyang sinabi kasabay ng kanyang pag-iling. "We can't deny the fact that I played a big role in everything that had happened and happening right now. The moment I met you, I felt that you were all that Malcolm needed. And I wasn't wrong, you changed him, Jen, you changed everything in his life. You might not believe this, but I saw Malcolm smile genuinely for the first time since the day I met him again. He was inside his office then, holding a photograph while smiling, and later I found out that it was your fake wedding picture. He had kept one in his wallet. And when you left, the

SHE CAN REMEMBER. She can remember everything now after hearing Rebecca's story, who does not know that she had temporary amnesia.From curling on top of Malcolm's bed while pulling her hair to lessen the throbbing of her head because of her memories that came back in a flash of lightning, she stopped from squirming and smiled weakly at Rose when she noticed her near the door frame. Rose was looking at her with confusion."C-come here..." she said weakly and urged her daughter to come closer.When Rose climbed on top of the bed, she embraced her tightly as her tears started to flow like waters that escaped a dam. Rose tried to struggle free, but Magenta did not let her. She doesn't want her daughter to see how messed up she is.God, how could she forget her? They've been separated for almost a week, Rose must have been devastated during those times that she was not there with her side. How dare Malcolm do that to her? To them!

"What happened to her?"He looked at her lazily, masking the emotions that his face emitted. "You already know. I never told you anytime about it, but you made me do it.""I wish I could remember."Marahas ang buntung-hininga ni Malcolm sa narinig. "You will hate me if you do.""I can't understand. Nag-away ba tayo? Naghiwalay? But should I hate you? Bakit hindi mo agad ipinaalam sa akin ang tungkol kay Rose? Did you... did you hurt me?"Bago nag-iwas ng tingin si Malcolm ay nakita ni Magenta ang guilt sa mga mata nito. Does that mean the answers to all her questions were yes? Kung naghiwalay nga sila at nagkasakitan, bakit naroon siya ngayon? Does that mean he wanted her back? At siya, anong nararamdaman niya?Mababaliw siya sa pag-iisip. Hindi rin niya mapagkakatiwalaan ang kasalukuyang damdamin para rito dahil wala siyang maalala sa nakaraan. Yes, she wanted to be with Malcolm, it felt good when she was with him like she was finally

"I don't approve of your scheme, Mr. Peters. But I can't never stop you, can I?" she asked as serious as it sound. "You always do want you want even if that means hurting other people. Can you see her?"Malcolm remained expressionless even when Suzette faced the child to his direction. Her big, innocent and misty eyes were staring at her as if any moment she would fell into tears."She's innocent about what's happening around her. Pero siya ang naiipit sa inyo ni Magenta, look at her and tell me you don't feel anything at all," Suzette demanded. Punong-puno na siya sa pinsan niya. Wala siyang pakialam ngayon kung nasasaktan ito sa mga pinagsasabi niya, he deserved to hear the truth from her. "Her mother's missing, and her father disowned her. Even after before she was born, her father wanted her gone—""Shut up!" he hissed. His teeth gnashing in anger. Nagagalit siya dahil naapektuhan siya ng sinasabi nito.

MULA SA pagkakaupo sa ibabaw ng kama ay mabilis siyang napatayo nang magulat nang marinig ang tunog ng sasakyan mula sa labas ng bahay. Nagmamadaling isinarado niya ang drawer ng side table at lumabas sa kinaroonang silid, pagkatapos ay isinarado ang pinto.She walked towards the front door while tucking her hairs behind her ears to look presentable. Her chest was thumping too fast, dahil iyon sa pinagsamang kaba at pagkasabik na makita ang taong sakay ng kotseng tumigil sa labas ng bahay at marahil ay maayos nang nakaparada sa bakuran.Bahagya siyang napaatras nang itulak nito pabukas ang pinto. Agad niyang nalanghap ang alak mula rito, namumula rin ang mukha't leeg nito at halatang nakainom.Sandali lang siya nitong tinapunan ng tingin at lumakad patungo sa direksiyon ng mahabang sofa.
