Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of view
When I open my eyes a plain white ceiling greeted me. I'm sure I am at the infirmary right now. Mabigat ang katawan ko, even my breath isn't normal. Dahan-dahan umupo mula sa clinic bed, napunta ang atensyon 'ko sa tray na puno ng pagkain na nasa table sa gilid ng kama. I saw a note on it. Kinuha 'ko 'to at binasa.
"Eat. Make sure you'll finish it. You still going to pay for letting someone hurt you. Ako lang dapat ang mananakit sa 'yo.
-Onyx
I clutch my chest. What's wrong? Why my heart is pounding? I shrug my head and focus on the note that I'm holding I put it in my pocket and start eating the food. Saktong pagkatapos kong kumain bumukas ang pinto ng clinic at iniluwa ang nurse. She smiled at me as she saw me.
"You're already good to go, Mr. Asuncion. But before that, I need to know why you didn't put on the medical recor
"Not all white is pure, some of them are tainted with black."Someone's Point of view"P-please..." His tears are bursting. Puno ng takot ang mga mata n'ya. He's like a kid that lost in the middle of nowhere. Nakaluhod sa harapan ko hinang-hina dahil sa mga sugat n'ya. Ngumisi ako sa harapan n'ya. I caressed his cheek using my knife."Why? Tell me, why I should let you go?" May himig ng lambing ang boses ko na lalo n'yang ikinatakot."I-i'm not part of l-leighton empire." Humalakhak ako sa sinabi nito. I grabbed his collar that made his flinched halos maihi na ito sa salwal."Awww, if I am Onyx or Orion. I'll definitely knock your head off. You just deny your clan. What a pity. Nawawala pala loyalty n'yo sa mga amo n'yo pagnahuhuli kayo." Nginitian ko ito."I'm sorry, kaso kailangan naming unahin ang mga pesteng nakapaligid sa mga hari bago namin sila galawin. And sad to say. Isa ka sa peste na nahuli namin." I didn
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's point of viewFriendship is a thing easier to build but hardest to keep. I grew up without friends or what. I grew up inside the four corners of my room. Para sa'kin, walang kwenta ang salitang kaibigan dahil mawawala't mawawala rin sila sa buhay na'tin. Having a friend is more like having a weakness. They'll earn your trust but in the end, they'll be out of the picture in your life. Leaving you shattered and betrayed leads you to your weakest form."So, we're friends?" I mumbled while looking at the black chess that I am holding. A beam plastered to my lips."What kind of game are you playing with me, Onyx? Keeping me close means more danger aren't right?" I'm not stupid. But I'll play with him. I'll find out what kind of tricks he wants to perform to get rid of me. For the sake of Misha. Ibinaba 'ko ang hawak kong chess king. I grabbed the queen. Misha's smirk appeared in my head all of the sudden."You'll
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of viewEverything seems new for the three of us. Isang buwan na ang lumipas since Onyx asked me to be part of their group with Kit and Slade. I once asked Onyx and others what their group name but they said they don't have any. Nalaman ko rin na halos lahat sa kanila ay tagapagmana ng mga Mafia empire and they here for protection. And that made me laugh. They are here for protection without thinking they might trap here and die because their enemies are here.Since then, the students to start showing respect to us. No more bullies, no more bruises. Nasa room kami ngayon, waiting for our professor. I can feel the glares coming from Misha. Isa lang ang hindi nagbago. My little sister still wants me to vanish here. I don't know how many times she tried to threaten me. She tried to act tough but I know she's afraid of me."Good morning class," I snapped back to reality when ou
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of View"GANTHER URIES NERIC ASUNCION!!!" I woke up because of the loud voice coming from outside my dorm. I checked the time. It's just 9 am in the morning. I took a deep sigh and stood up to open the door."Kit, it's too early to wake me up..." I lazily said. Humikab pa ako sa harap n'ya. Napakamot s'ya sa batok n'ya bago ako irapan saka pumasok sa loob ng kwarto ko."What's wrong?" I asked him. I can see his uneasy aura. His eyes were filled with worries."G-ganther, h'wag ka ng umattend ng ball mamaya." My forehead creased and look at him."Why? I'm scared na madamay ka. They are so eager to bring down the Leighton empire. They'll not hesitate to kill people who might block their way.""You are one of them right? One of the people who want them down. Everything was planned. You and Slade are already a couple outside of this university and you are part of those people who killed those
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of ViewI can hear their footsteps, their shouts that are full of pain. Everyone went mad. Everything is in chaos. But instead of being scared. I'm laughing so hard as if their screams are funny. I never get excited like this. Never. Just now. Hindi ko mabilang kung ilang beses ako matabig ng mga tumatakbo.I licked my lips Nilabas ko ang dagger na hawak ko. Maybe it's not bad to play along right? Madilim ang paligid pero ramdam ko ang mga tao sa paligid ko. This is why I love darkness. Darkness is my advantage. My saving grace. I chuckled as I grip my dagger tightly. I don't have any plan to kill my pieces. And killing isn't my thing. Maybe controlling. Dahan-dahan akong lumayo sa hall. Until I reached into the cafeteria. My shoes are the only thing that can be heard in the hallway. Napatigil ako sa paglalakad ng makitang tumatakbo ang isa sa mga kaklase ko. Even it's dark I can see how terrified he is.
"Sometimes dreams aren't just a dream it's a memory that keeps haunting us."★★★Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of ViewDid you ever feel trapped in your dreams? Have you ever experienced being aware that you are seeing is your dream?I found myself in a very familiar room. Ang silid na hindi ko makakalimutan. Kahit anong pilit kong ibaon sa limot."M-mom, d-dad..." Hindi ko maiwasang mapangisi ng marinig ang maliit na tinig mula sa likuran ko. The little voice filled with sadness and plead."S-stop fighting p-please..." I slowly turned my head to the person who's begging. A little kid hugging his knees. His tears are falling. I chuckled seeing my younger version gives me a shame feeling. The little kid moves his head up. My eyes met his. I smirk while looking at him."Stop crying, little bean, hindi ka nila papakinggan. Your tears are noth
Onyx Ollivander Faiz Leighton's Point of View I grip my dagger tightly. I can hear my own heartbeat. Mag-isa lang ako sa tagong parte ng university. It's the 4th day of this f*cking game. I opened my earpiece to contact others. "Guys," I whispered. I can hear their breath. "Boss, negative. Walang akong nakikitang kakaiba sa part ng university na'to." One of my men said. "Onyx, are you really sure na may hideout sila sa sarili na'ting teritoryo?" It's Orion. We are looking in different spots of the university to look for their hideout. I took a deep sigh. Bago pa ako magsalita. Napamura ako ng maramdaman ko ang pagbaon na matulis na bagay sa tagiliran ko. Damn! I let myself unguard. I hissed in pain but I immediately face my attacker. Nanlilisik ang mga mata nito sa'kin. "F*ck you, Onyx, and your twin because of the two of you, we are trapped inside of this f*cking game." I just look at him with boredom. Hindi
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of view I'm silently walking towards our building. Tatlong linggo na ang lumipas after Onyx knocked on my door wounded. Nakatulog pagkatapos kong gamutin ang sugat n'ya paggising ko umalis na s'ya. He left a note saying that treating his wound doesn't mean I'm already paid him for saving me. May utang pa daw ako sa kanya na favor. Napailing nalang ako ng maisip 'yon. In three weeks half of the population of the university died. Mas naging madugo ang bawat gabing lumipas. "Ganther," I stop from walking when I heard Kit's voice behind me. Humarap ako sa kanya. Matagal din kaming hindi nag-usap. Kasama n'ya si Slade. Sinenyasan n'ya si Slade na iwan kami. "Can I talk to you?" I smile at him and look at my wristwatch. I'm about to go out to my class. "Sure, Kit." He walks first. I followed him. Nakarating kami sa isang tagong sulok. He heaved a sigh before speaking. "Ganther,
"Before I used to ignore the fact that I hate silence. I thought it was just inborn phobia. But when I grew up I realized that I hate silence because it makes me feel that I am alone. I used to believe that I am a monster while everyone is a diamond. But in the end, I discovered that I am a diamond too it just saw myself as a monster to make others shine more. And I forgot that everyone is a monster too. Humans are monsters. Monsters in their own hell. We become monsters to also fight those monsters that keep us in darkness. Anxiety, depression, pressures, other people who made us feel not enough nor sh*t, those feelings that give us suffering inside. Those reasons make our shine gone. We're too drown in the ocean of pain, be stuck in the middle of chaos. Those give us the reasons to give up. Life is like a chessboard game you need to take risks to win
"It's been a while..." I looked up to Kit when he suddenly uttered that. Nakakahilo ang ilaw sa paligid na tila sumasayaw. Isama pa ang ingay sa paligid. typically scenario in I just want to go home and cuddle with my son and husband but today is Kit's day so I need to bear it. Actually, Kit's party will be held tomorrow but he wants us to celebrate. Only the two of us."Yeah, we've been busy dealing in our life," I respond and took a gulp of my drink. Gumuhit ang pait at init nito sa lalamunan ko. He smiled at me. A smile filled with happiness."I'm going to get married, soon. Ganther." he showed his hand with a ring. I can't help but beam. Kit is my best friend. And I'm so happy knowing he'll be having his own ataraxia."Congratulation," I greet
Ganther Uries Leighton's Point of view I wake when my alarm clock rang. Mabilis kong pinatay 'to para hindi magising si Onyx. I'm about to stand up from bed when a strong arm snaked to my waist. Nilingon ko ito napatawa ako ng mahina nang makitang tulog ito. His forehead creased. I kissed his forehead before gently removing his arm to mine. Nang maalis ko ito pinayakap ko sa kan'ya ang unan ko bago lumabas ng kwarto namin. It's already past midnight. I went to the kitchen to get coffee. After kong magtimpla ng kape umakyat ulit ako para pumunta sa office ko. Pero dinaanan ko muna ang kwarto ng anak namin saka sinilip ito. I fix his blanket and kiss his temple before leaving. When I reached my office I put the coffee on the table and opened my laptop. I grab my glasses and started to type on my laptop. I recall everything I needed to put on the story, in every chapter. I stop when I felt uncomfortable. Sumakit na
Onyx Ollivander Faiz's Point of View"Ganther!" I called him. As soon as he turns his direction at me I press the camera. Because of the flash, he ended up closing his eyes which make me laugh. He looked at me with an annoyed expression that made me laugh more."Onyx! stop taking pictures." He hissed."Onyx? It should be baby right?" I asked while pouted. He glared at me. Damn! kailan ba ako masasanay sa talim n'yang tumingin."I love you..." He avoided my gaze. I smirk playfully when I saw his cheeks flushing. Lumapit ako sa kanya. I cupped his face and kissed his forehead making his face more redden."I love you, too. But baby, please stop taking pictures of me without telling me. It's epic." I nodded."Sure, now let's picture together." I wrapped my arm to his shoulder we both looked to the camera with smiles and contentment."Let get married?" Naramdaman ko ang paninigas n'ya. I looked at him with a serious expres
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of ViewMy hands are shaking as I hold the tyrant color king chess piece that I give to Onyx before. Lalong lumakas ang iyak ko ng makita ang original na susi ng secret passage ng Leighton university. But now it has an engraved on it. That I'm sure it doesn't present before. I get these things from that black box."Ganther..." I read the words that were engraved. I just let my tears stream down. When I'm already calmed down. I just found myself driving toward the place that I never thought I'll back after the bloody encounter I'd have at that place.The place I used to call hell because everyone is demons inside. Madalim na pero kitang-kita ang laki ng lugar. Dahan-dahan kong nilagay ang susi sa pinto. I heard a click from inside. Nanginginig ang kamay kong tinulak ang pinto. Madilim na library ang sumalubong sa'kin. Gano'n na gano'n parin ang itsura ng library.Leighton University closed the same day
6 years later...Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of View"Dang, Kuya. Did you see the article about you?" I took a sip of my coffee."About what this time?" Sumimangot 'to."You need social media. Article about your voluntary mission at Lesotho you know your campaign for suicide. Madami na naman ang humanga sa'yo.""Misha, stop drowning yourself on the internet to read those kinds of articles. Just do your best studying law." She pouted."Tell me, Kuya. What did you do?""Do what?""Graduating at medical school in just 4 years of studying. Instead of ten or more years. I want to study fast like yours." I facepalm at her. I poke her forehead that made her frown more."It's because I'm smarter than you.""What are you doing two?" Dad asked as he sat down in his seat. Her wife also sat. Mama Mira. She smiles at me so I did the same."Kuya Ganther is bullying me,
"He who is drowning in pain find lights to embrace life..."Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of ViewI open my eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. I can hear the ECG machine beeping. I slowly removed the oxygen mask. The door opens. Nurse's eyes went wide when she saw me. She immediately called the doctor.The doctor rushes over me and checks me. I can see Kit and others outside crying but they're smiling. Relief is shining in their eyes."Tell me, Ganther may masakit ba sa'yo?" Umiling ako ng tanungin 'yon ng doctor. He smiled. Before leaving and talk to them. I was left staring at the ceiling. Wondering why I'm still alive."Son...""W-why I'm still alive? Is this your punishment?""No, son. I don't want you to suffer like this. Kahit hindi ko man pinakita I love you. You're my son. My flesh my blood.""Aanhin ko yang pagmamahal

"He who lost everything feels nothing..."Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of viewMy eyes still shut down. But I can hear the beeps of the monitor near where I'm lying. My body is aching. Especially my right leg where I was stabbed and also my abdomen. My body really shuts down due to tiredness."G-ganther, I'm sorry baby. I need to go somewhere. I love you." I know that voice it's Onyx. His voice was weak and I know his condition was more severe than mine.I wanted to open my eyes pero sobrang bigat ng talukap ng mga mata ko. Ramdam ko ang malambot na bagay na dumapo sa labi ko at sa noo ko. And that's the last words I heard from him."O-onyx..." I whispered. I slowly open my eyes and the white plain ceiling is the first one I saw."He's awake..." Napalingon ako it' Kit and others. They gathered in front of me. Nakangiti sila but somethin
