Carmella

.

Kung may isang bagay man na gusto kong baguhin sa buhay ko, ay iyon ang burahin ko sa ala-ala ang mukha ng ina ko. Ba't pa siya bumalik? At ano ang plano niya? What the hell she wants from us after all? How dare she!

"Carmella, can we talk, mia figlia?"

I scoffed in silence without looking at her. I wish I hadn't shown up today, but why is everything twisted this week?

"What for?" I whirled around to see her, and the look on her face made me want to vomit somewhere.

"Mia figlia, I know it's late, but - "

"Oh? Late?" I cut her off. I have no heart when it comes to her, and she can't blame me for that.

"I can't remember that I have a mother. What's with you?" Tumaas ang kilay ko at namuo ang puot at galit sa puso ko. "Naubusan ka na ba ang pera at bumabalik ka na ngayon kay Papa? Huh, ang hanep ah. O baka naman, iniwan ka ng mga lalaki mo, at bumabalik ka sa lalaking pilit na nagmamahal sa 'yo sa kabila ng kapalpakan mo!" Tiim-bagang ko, at nag-aapoy ang titig ko sa kanya. Um

    Brodie."Aren't you going to tell me what's bothering you?" I held her hand, and she sighed."I'm alright, Brodie. I'm fine. Good night." She rolled over and kept her distance from me.Ngayon lang yata ito at naninibago ako. Madalas malambing si Carmella at lahat ng gusto at ayaw niya ay agad niyang sinasabi sa akin. Pero hindi ngayon. Masyadong mailap siya na parang may tinatago.Nakatulog na siya at hinayaan ko na. Ako naman ang hindi makatulog ngayon, kaya tinawagan ko pansamantala si Nathaniel sa Australia."Elizalde will help you. Give him a ring, Brod. He is open to your proposal. Have a go. There's nothing wrong with it anyway. It will be your stepping stone in joining the Wranglers."My jaw tightened as I rested my back on the balcony's porch. I might be going to the Philippines if Elizalde will accept the deal."Thank you, Nath. I will call him tomorrow.""That's good, bro. By the way, how's your brother? Is he doing okay there?""Yes, he is. We catch up a few times.""I see

    Carmella."Aray. . ." Mahinang napahawak ako sa ulo at napaupo akong bahagya."Are you okay, mahal?" Ang boses ni Brodie ito at wala sa sariling tinitigan ko siya.I was furious today. I woke up not in my best mood, and when I opened the fridge to drink something cold, the food coming from Axton with a note on top of it made my blood rise.Hindi pa ako okay sa Mama ko, at kay Papa, at nakikisali pa talaga si Axton. Huh, kalukuhan talaga!"Where am I? T-Teka lang." Tumayo ako at inalalayan ako ni Brodie. Nahinto akong saglit nang mapagtanto ko na nasa hospital ako ngayon."I'm not sick, Brodie. Let's go home," I said, sliding my feet into my slippers."Carmella, you need a little rest, mahal. You are stress." Hawak ni Brodie sa kamay ko. Nasa harapan ko na siya. Tumingala akong konti para matitigan ang mukha niya at purong pag-aalala ito. Napayuko ako at tinitigan ko na ang sariling paa.I hate it because I discovered something that I shouldn't have known. Axton was kidnapped, and it

    Brodie."And where are we going, Carmella?" I asked formally while holding her hand tightly. I don't know what's happening, but it seems like I already had an idea.Napansin agad namin ang iilang tauhan ng ama niya sa paligid at hinahanap kami. Tumakbo kaming mabilis at nangunguna ako na hawak ang kamay niya.While running, there's a lot going on in my mind.Kasalanan ng ama ni Carmella kung bakit hindi natuloy ang kasal nila noon ni Axton.I have nothing against Axton. He met Carmella before I knew her, and I understand that. But he is getting in my way now with my wife, and I will not tolerate it. I will not give him a chance for that.And for Carmella's father, I'm a victim of this. Perhaps Carmella's father already knew that I was connected to Axton.Dammit! It sounded selfish and complicated."Uuwi na tayo. Pero hindi sa bahay mo. Ayaw kong malaman ni Papa kung nasaan tayo. Let's go to Lorenzo first and see if he could help us. Then I will see my father."Mabilis ang lakad namin

    Carmella.Ilang beses ba akong tatamarin? Wala akong gana, pero gutom naman."Slow down, Carmella. Walang aagaw ng pagkain mo," si Venette sa harapan ko.Panay ang nguya at subo ko. Marami akong iniisip, pero hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. Galit ako, at ang unang taong gusto kong makausap ay si Papa. Pero ayaw kong pumunta sa kanya. Ayaw kong makita si Mama."Thank you." I smiled as I looked at Venette.Inabot niya sa akin ang preskong orange juice at tinikman ko agad ito. Napawi agad ang ugaw ko."Where's Brodie?" I looked around while chewing my food."Pinapunta ko sa Studio na kasama si Baxter.""What? Are you kidding me?" I paused and drank my juice."Carmella, your husband will do everything to keep you no matter what. So, please let him be. And besides, your father can't do anything. He can't harm Brodie, and you know that."Naupo na si Venette at pinaikot ko na ang mga mata. Mukhang sinabi na yata ni Brodie ang lahat kay Venette. Ang mga iilang sekreto na hindi ko sinabi

    Brodie . "I love her, and I'm willing to trade what's left in me. I don't want you to tear us apart. I know it was a deal. We made a deal. I didn't see this coming, and I'll take responsibility for everything." My jaw tightened as I looked at Carmella's father. Mapangahas ang pagpunta ko rito, at hindi ito alam ni Carmella. Kailangan kong bumalik agad sa kanya, dahil ayaw kong mag-alala siya. "It's not me to decide for that, Brodie," he sighed. "It's my daughter, and you know that." Napayuko ako at napakuyom kamao. "She's worried, and it stresses me out. I wish I could help." "As I've said, I'm not the right person to decide, Brodie. If my daughter loves you more than you think, then, she will keep you." Sumeryoso ang mga mata niya sa akin at taim-tim niya akong tinitigan. "You don't know her that much. She may look placid, but she's not. She knows how to rule the clan but chooses not to do it. She's a ruler in a woman's body, Brodie. . . If you love her, then, you must love her

    Carmella.Mahigpit ang hawak ni Brodie sa kamay ko at natawa ako sa ekspresyon nang mukha niya."I didn't run away. I just visited Papa for a reason. Ano? Tiningnan mo ba ang mga frozen goodies na binigay ni Butter.""Yes, I did. And it's not healthy."Humalik siya sa kamay ko at mahigpit na pinisil ito. Nakatitig siya rito at sadyang natunaw ang puso ko.I love the look he has right now. It seems unreal, but Brodie is probably in love with me. Kahit hindi man niya sinasabi ito ay nararamdaman ko naman."The festival is in two days. I want us to go to the Baltimore.""Oh, really?"I lost my smile and sighed. I have my plans and there's no backing out. I will not let my father hinder anything I wanted. Kahit pa sabihin niyang labas na ako sa misyon na ito, ay gusto ko parin na malaman ang totoo."No, mahal. I'm sorry. I'm looking forward to the festival. Besides, a lot of my friends are attending. It would be a good opportunity for me to catch up with the clan. It will be peaceful, tr

    Carmella.Second day of the festival's event. The display.Brodie indeed was busy. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinag-gagawa niya, pero pinagkakatiwalaan ko siya. Ngayong araw at umaga palang ay umalis na agad siya. May kasama siyang escort at ang iilan sa kanila ay ang mga tauhan ni Papa.I never went to check on my father last night. He sent me a message, but who cares? I bet he doesn't need me anymore because the love of his life is back.Brodie called me earlier, asking me if I already had my lunch. He kept checking, calling me now and then. And tonight he said he will be late. I told him not to worry about me. I have a prior engagement to attend. I didn't tell him that I was now joining the night display."Oh my goodness, thank you, milady," si Emerald. Taranta ang paghubad niya sa sapatos at pati na sa maskara."It's itchy, and I hate it! Grrr!" she grunted, itching the side of her legs.Emerald is allergic display her body bare. Mahanginan lang ay tiyak gusto na niyang kamutin i

    Brodie.I had no choice but to become Nicolle's partner tonight. I know Emerald covers as Carmella, but to my surprise, it was my wife tonight. She showed off her skin and gorgeous appearance to everyone. She didn't even wear her mask like Emerald does.Damn. I overlooked things, and now it's all screwed up."Bro."Galit ang mga mata kong nakatitig kay Axton at pumwesto siya sa tabi ko.We looked in the same alley where Carmella and Nicolle were, along with the rest of the women around them. The two looked close, but behind their cunning, fake smiles, I knew they wanted to fight.Another effing damn thing."It's good to see you again. I-I was just escorting Carmella for a reason, Brodie. You shouldn't let your guard down, bro. Maraming halang ang kaluluwa na nasa paligid at pinagmamasdan siya. She's supposed not to be here, right?" Axton gritted his teeth as he looked at me.I scoffed, feeling offended. "I know, but how can I stop her, Brodie? Don't you think I'm doing this on my own

    Brielle."We need to leave, tiya."Hindi umimik si tiya. Alam ko na pagod na siya sa kakatakbo. Medyo matagal na rin kami sa isla. Mag tatatlong taon na. Ito yata ang pinakamahaba na nanatili kami sa isang lugar. Madalas naman kasi noon ay palipat-lipat kami ng tirahan dahil sa mga taong humahabol sa amin."Pagod na ako sa kakatakbo, Breille… Matanda na ako."I press my lips together and look at her.Naipasok ko na ang iilang gamit na kailangan ko. Sa syudad na muna kami. Mas mabuti roon, dahil maraming tao at madali kaming gumalaw.Iniwan ko na ang susi sa bahay ni Morris kay Manong Paeng. Siya na muna pansamantala ang magmamatyag sa paligid. Sa kanya ko na rin iniwan ang susi ng bahay at ng tindahan."Tiya, we have to go, or else…" my lips trembled."Kilala ko ang mexicanong mafia na 'yon, tiya. Mas halang ang kaluluwa nu'n kaysa kay Alfred. Si Cappytano ang nagpapatay sa halos lahat ng mga tauhan ni Alfred, tiya. Kailangan natin na umalis!""Pero bakit ikaw ang hinahanap, Brielle?

    Morris."Don't tell her that you're still here, Mors," Linus advises."And why is that?" My brows met halfway."Because that's not you. You don't give your location to anyone, lunatic."I laughed a little bit and shook my head. Linus was right. I don't easily give my location unless it's them, my cousins, asking for it. But Brielle is not just anyone. . . I like her."It seems like you like her. How serious?"I stared at Linus on the big screen. He's not even looking at me. He was busy sorting something. I did not answer and just rested my back on my chair.I'm not sure about it, but one thing is sure… I miss her."Hey, Mors. Don't you know that Cappytano is after you?" He changes the subject.Napatingin na siya sa akin ngayon na seryoso. Nawalang bigla ang tanong niya kanina tungkol kay Brielle.It wasn't important anyway. Linus knows that, and he doesn't care much about it. He is more concerned about the enemies around us."And what does he want? Cappytano was off the hook a long t

    Brielle.Pagkatapos malinis ang paligid ay ang mga halaman naman ni tiya ang inasikaso ko. Nakakabagot nga, dahil wala man lang akong lilinisan sa territoryo ni Morris.Lahat ng mga alaga niyang hayop ay wala na roon. Inilipat niya ito sa pangangala ng isang kaibigan. Hindi ko alam kung sino, at tiyak sa kabilang isla iyon.Wala rin siyang halaman sa paligid at purong malalaking bush shrub at mga puno lang. Hindi na kailangan ng tubig dahil nabubuhay naman.Inside Morris house is clean. Nothing else to do there. Nalulungkot lang ako sa tuwing bumibisita ako roon. Dahil naaalala ko siya sa bawat sulok nito.It's not even a week, but it seems like months for me."Tapos na, tiya. Ihahatid ko na lang ito mamaya," tugon ko. Naramdaman ko kasi siya sa likod. Hindi siya sumagot."Siyanga pala, tiya. Ang aga mo naman nakabalik. Hindi ba dapat mamaya ka ba? Wala na bang ganap sa baba?" Pinunasan ko muna ang kamay gamit ang basahan na meron ako. Tumayo ako at saka nagpawis ng pawis sa mukha ba

    Eva.I feel lonely already while seeing him walking away from me. Nangilid ang luha ko sa mata at mabilis akong tumingala sa lahat.Sana nga pala ay hind ko na siya hinatid dito sa pier. Heto tuloy. Nakakaiyak na.Kumaway siya at nasa top deck na ng barko. Kumaway rin ako, at nag-flying kiss pa. I want him to remember me as lively and lovely, and will try to wait for him. Alam kong alam ni Morris kung saan kami hahanapin ni tiya kung wala na kami sa isla.Bleu, his only friend was also with him. Wala ng natira sa bahay niya sa tuktok, dahil iniwan ni naman talaga ang lahat sa akin. Nasa akin ang mga susi nito.Nakauwi na ako, at ang tahimik na paligid agad ang namasdan ko. It feel strange. The quite environment around me seems like a haunting dream from my past.Nakakatakot at nakakalungkot. Ibang-iba na. . .Ibang iba na, dahil wala na si Morris sa Islang ito. Naiwan na lang kami ni tiya."Tatawag naman siya 'di ba? Brielle?" si tiya sa likod ko.Gabi na. Madilim ang langit at wala m

    Brielle.I look at the blue sea sadly, feeling uncomfortable at the moment, trying to make everything alright.Gusto kong manatili kami ni tiya rito, para pagkabalik ni Morris ay nandito pa rin ako. Nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung tutuloy pa ba kami sa paglilipat ni tiya sa malayong isla na iyon.Ibinaon ko ang paa sa buhangin at ramdam ko ang lamig nito sa ilalim. Nilingon kong muli si Morris mula sa karagatan.Malayo siya, at hindi ko na halos makita."Inomin mo muna ito, anak." Inilagay ni tiya ang malamig na inomin na gawa niya. At kasama na ang kay Morris."Salamat, tiya." Tinikman ko agad ito, at ibinalik ko lang ang mga mata ko sa kung nasaan na si Morris ngayon. Tahimik ako at panag ang pagbuntonghininga sa sarili."Babalik na ako sa tindahan," aniya. Hindi ako kumibo at tulala pa rin habang pinagmasdan si Morris."Mamimiss mo ano?"Ang akala ko ay umalis na si tiya… hindi pa pala. Nilingon ko siya at katulad ko, ay nakatingin din pala siya kay Morr

    Brielle.Busog ako at masaya. Nagpahinga na si tiya at naiwan kami ni Morris na gising pa. Maaga pa naman, at alam ni tiya na sa bahay ni Morris ako matutulog ngayon. Kaya inayos ko muna ang lahat, para wala na siyang iisipin pagkagising niya bukas.Mahigpit ang hawak ni Morris sa kamay ko, at panay naman ang ngiti ko habang tanaw na ang treehouse. Huminto kaming pareho, at saka dumampi ang labi niya sa likod ng kamay ko na hawak niya. "I'll be missing you, Bree…" Humarap siya sa akin, at saka hinaplos ang gilid ng mukha ko."And I will miss you too, Morris…" Pinalupot ko agad ang mga kamay ko sa leeg niya at saka hinalikan siya.With both of our eyes shut, we kissed. . . It was majestic. Nakakatawa ang hitsura namin pareho. Para kaming mga teenager rito. We kissed, hugged, laughed and kissed again. Morri's jokes were not funny at all. Kahit pa anong jokes ang sabihin niya ay hindi nakakatawa ito dahil hindi bagay sa hitsura niya. Kaya heto, tudo tawa ako.Morris is also not romant

    Morris."Ilang linggo ka sa Italya? Buwan ba? Taon?"Glenn grimaced as he looked at me with never-ending questions. I shook my head, sipping the light champagne.It must be my last family dinner for I am going to go back to Italy in the next few days.“I will be back before you know it, Glenn.”He laughed a little bit.“I will keep an eye on your woman if you want.”I chuckled as I looked at his wife below."Brielle is fine. She's easy and she'll never go anywhere. Hindi naman siya katulad ng napangasawa mo ngayon. Mukhang palaban ang misis mo."“A little bit. She’s stubborn, but I can handle her.”"Sinusuban ang pasensya mo ano? In that case, I will not bother you to keep an eye on Brielle. I trust her,” I proudly said, and it was his turn to chuckle.“So, are you going back into business again?”I know Glenn is worried, but everything is okay with my business abroad. Iyon nga lang may mga bagay na sadyang naiiba sa kalakaran, at alam na niya kung ano ang mga ito.My father knew abo

    Brielle.I couldn't sleep, ending up staring at him while he was asleep.Noon, hindi ako naniniwala sa pag-ibig. Wala akong alam kung ano ang nagagawa nito sa buhay ng isang tao. Marami akong tanong tungkol sa pagmamahal, at nang hindi ko makuha ang tamang sagot ay kinalimutan ko na ang mga ito.Si tiya lang ang mahalaga sa akin noon. Siya lang ang pamilya ko. Siya lang ang kinikilala kong ina. Pero nang dumating si Morris sa buhay ko, ay nagbago ang pananaw ko sa pangalang 'pag-ibig'.I suddenly feel a weird desire, longing, and love for him. I want to be with him. I can't be at peace without seeing him. I want to sleep and wake up beside him. I want him to be a part of me. I want him with me forever… I know I'm selfish at times, but… that's me.Pero hindi naman ako bulag. Alam ko ang pangako namin ni Morris sa isa't-isa. Pumayag ako sa gusto niya, dahil wala namang kasiguruhan ang buhay.I'm not a good person. I've done a lot of bad things, and I have a dark past that I've been try

    Brielle."You don't want us to go somewhere, Brielle. Why not? The weather is good, baby. Let's go out fishing.""No. I don't feel like fishing." Tumalikod ako kay Morris at saka nag-kunwaring abala sa lababo."Alright. So, when do you feel like fishing or swimming?""I don't know. . ." Kibit-balikat ko. Nilingon ko siya. Nakaupo siya at hawak ang mainit na kape sa kamay. Dapat sana ay pupunta siya sa kabilang Isla para mamalengke, pero pinigilan ko. Si Bleu ang gumawa nito. Inilipat ko ang gawain na ginagawa niya madalas sa amin ni tiya."Why don't we finish the project you started at your place?" I sweetly smiled and walked towards him.Nasa bandang likod na niya ako nakatayo at niyayakap siya."The tree house?""Oo... Hindi ba matagal mo na na gusto matapos iyon. Mas mabuting tapusin na natin bago ka bumalik ng Italy."Humawak siya sa kamay ko, at saka umikot ang tingin sa akin. Tumayo siya at nakatingala na ako ngayon sa kanya.Matangkad si Morris, at polido ang katawan. His broad
