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

Brodie."So, it's you? What the hell? What's with you and your family? Golden assets from the Ming dynasty? Which clan are you from? I haven't seen you before. It's first time? Are you from another country?"Bahagyang nagtapo ang kilay ko sa mga kalalakihan sa paligid ko. Umalis lang si Nicolle na kasama si Carmella at Brodie ay agad na dinumog ako ng mga tao rito.Carmella's father has already warned me about this; especially if Carmella is with me, a lot of eyes will be on us."Brodie. Excuse me, boys, I have to borrow my brother."Axton came behind me as a rescue. Hindi ko siya napansin dahil ang buong akala ko ay kasama niya ang dalawa, pero mukhang hindi na."Brother? Is Brodie your brother, Axe?" tanong ng isang lalaki na malaki ang katawan sa kanya.Hindi sumagot si Axton, bagtos taim-tim na titig ang pinakawalan niya sa mga ito at umatras silang bahagya. Agad na hinila ni Axton ang braso ko at sumunod na ako sa kapatid ko.I felt relief the moment we exited the hall. Now, we

Brodie.Dammit. I can still feel the sting around my eyelids when I open my eyes. The room is cozy and clean. I know what happened. They refused to fight with me, so they used their tactics of spraying something that could put me to sleep."Nicolle?" Napalingon agad ako sa paligid at napahawak sa ulo ko. Masakit pa ito, konti lang, pero nakakahilo.I heard it right. It must be Nicolle's father, Armando De Pruta, known as De Popeye.Bumukas ang pinto at napatingin ako sa babaeng pumasok. Hindi ito si Nicolle at hindi ko siya kilala."Oh, the frog prince is awake."Huminto siyang distansya sa harapan ko at pilyang ngumiti. Pinaikot ang mga daliri sa mahabang buhok. Nagtagpo ang kilay ko. Tinitigan ko siyang maigi. Pero hindi siya pamilyar sa akin."Who are you, and what do you want from me? Is this Armando De Pruta doing?""Armando? The De Pruta? Of course not!"Hinawi niya ang buhok at saka nilapitan na ako. Tatayo sana ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa gilid, pero hindi ko magawa. Hindi ko n

Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body 23. Happiness
Anastacia.Is he engaged? Soon to be married? Huh, good on him!After seven years, I never once checked about him or what's happened lately with the company. I don't want to hear any news from them, especially from him.Naging abala na rin naman ang buhay ko. Mahirap magpalaki ng kambal, at kahit ngayon ay nangangarag pa rin ako.Nawala na sa isip ko si Diezel. Hindi na ako interesado, at wala na akong pakialam kung nag asawa na ba siya o nagkaroon na ng maraming anak. Pero nang marinig ko kanina kay Dianne na engaged na siya ay nababagabag lang ako.Ba't ba ako ganito? Hay, naku, Anastacia!I can’t sleep, and it’s after one o’clock in the morning. I’ve already checked all the items I will deliver tomorrow after dropping the twins at school.Nakatitig na ako sa relo sa dingding habang inom ang chamomile tea. Tulog na ang kambal, pero ako? Heto, hindi man lang dinalaw ng antok.Kinuha ko ang cellphone sa bag at saka nag-search sa app tungkol sa kompanya. Dito tumambad sa akin ang mga

Anastacia.My heart raced when I saw Zev's face. He's got bruises around the right eye like someone had punched him in the face."Anong nangyari sa 'yo? Who did this to you?"Napaluhod ako at ininspeksyon ang mukha niya. Hindi ko sila nasundo ngayon dahil delivery ngayon ng orders ko galing Amerika. Ako mismo ang kumuha ng mga ito sa pantalan. Kaya pansamantala si George ang kumuha sa mga bata."Tinanong ko rin, Ate. Pero ayaw magsalita. Ganyan na ang mukha eh. Gusto ko sanang kausapin ang guro nila, pero wala raw. Kaya umuwi na kami."Bitbit ni George ang bag ng dalawang bata. Inilapag niya ito sa gilid at saka namaywang sa likod ko."Patingin nga. Dios ko…" Tumayo ako at kumuha ng maligamgam na tubig. Pina upo ko si Zev at tahimik siyang nakayuko. Samantalang si Skye ay nasa gilid lang. Nakasandal sa dingding at pinagmamasdan kami."Ano ba ang nangyari, Skye? Who did this to your brother?"Siya na ngayon ang tinanong ko. Alam kong matigas ang ulo ni Zev at madalas ay hindi siya na

New BeginningAnastacia.Note: This is seven years later. The twins are now six years old.Binalot ko ang makapal na jacket sa katawan. Tumigil na ang ulan. Kailangan kong umakyat sa bubong kahit na hindi mabuti ang pakiramdam ko. Wala kong choice at kailangan ko ng gawin ito. Baka kasi mamaya ulit ay uulan na naman. Mas mabuting maagapan ko na ngayon.I need to climb up the roof to check the leak. The rainwater drips in Zev's bedroom. It's not that bad, but it really annoys me every time I hear the drip sound inside his room. It sounds frustrating, and my poor boy can't even complain. It hurts to the bones to see my children struggle along with me.Hindi man nila sinasabi sa akin ito, ay ramdam ko ito bilang isang ina. Naiinis ako at galit ako sa kung ano man ang sitwasyon meron ako ngayon. Wala akong ibang masisisi kung 'di ang sarili mismo."Mama? Aakyat ka?" Celestine Skye looked innocently at me, my sweet, beautiful baby."Yes, Skye. Get back inside. You will get wet, anak."Kin

Anastacia.Mama accepted it without knowing the entire truth about my secret. Only Tessie knows everything, and she promised me that she would never tell anyone about it.Bumalik na si Mama sa probinsya. Marami siyang ginawa para mapagaan ang lahat sa akin dito sa loob ng bahay. Babalik siya sa kabuwanan ko, at mananatili ng iilang linggo.May isang anak si Mama sa bago niya, pero malaki na ito. Nasa high school na si Neri. Mabait na bata at magalang. Malapit siya sa ama niya at nakakaingit ang closeness nila.I have no memories of my father. He left us when I was only five years old. Mama and he were never married. Since then, I haven’t seen him. The last I heard, he was doing well and living in Baguio with his five kids."Okay ka lang ba, Anastacia?"“Oo, okay lang.”Abala kaming pareho ni Kagawad Camilla. Siya ang kasama ko ngayon sa convention ng lungsod. Nasa Cagayan de Oro kami, at dalawang araw kaming mananatili rito dahil sa convention. Parte ito ng bagong proyekto na iniluns

Anastacia."Ano? Dalawang buwan!? Anong klaseng lalaki ba siya? Hindi pwede 'to, Anastacia! Babalik tayo doon. Kakalbuhin ko ang lalaking 'yon!""Ang galing naman niya! Pagkatapos siyang magpakasarap sa 'yo ay ganun na lang ba? Wala lang sa kanya ang lahat? Anong klaseng lalaki ba siya!? Pesti! Halika! Babalik tayo! Bilis!"Hinila niya ang paa ko at pinadyakan ko siya. Bumitaw siya at mabilis kong binalot ang kumot sa katawan. Umiiyak ako. Hindi hihinto ang luha sa mga mata ko dahil nasasaktan ako ngayon. Pinipilit kong magpakatatag, pero bakit ang hirap? Sinusubok ako ng tadhana at pakiramdam ko ay wala na akong pag asa sa lahat.I have no work, and I'm running out of money. What will I do next?"Anastacia…"Ramdam ko ang pag upo ni Tessie sa paanan. Minasahe niya ang paa ko, at tahimik siyang nakikinig sa hikbi ko.Promise, huli na ito. Bukas at sa mga susunod na araw ay ayaw ko ng umiyak. Nakakapagod umiyak. Nakakawalang gana sa buhay. Pero ganito naman talaga 'di ba? Kasalanan ko

Diezel.My eyebrow raised while listening to John. He's got less than twenty seconds before he fuck up. How the hell will he bring an investor to this project if he can't deliver his report properly? He can't even justify some of this. I'm not listening to him while I read his report. It's full of nonsense."Next!""B-But, Sir. I'm not yet done.""You're fired. Next!" I blurted out, fixing them with a hawk-like stare. When I locked eyes with them, they all averted their gaze."Damn it! Wala bang maayos na proposal sa inyong lahat? These reports are all boring! How will you bring a golden egg to the table if all your proposals are as boring and useless as shit!Tumayo ako at saka napabuntonghininga sa sarili. I need some air, or I could end up dismissing the entire team.Lumapit si Joel sa akin at bumulong."Your secretary is on the line. It's important, she said."I rolled my tongue, and Joel handed me the phone."Yes, Sharon?" I raised my eyebrows. "I'm not in a good mood already, S

Anastacia.Bago na ang lahat. Pinalitan niya ang lahat ng staff rito at hindi ko na kilala ang mga ito. Kahit pa ang gwardiya ng gusali ay bago.What the heck? Talaga bang ginawa niya ito dahil ayaw na niya akong makitang muli?Shit.Hindi ko na tuloy alam kung tama pa ba itong ginagawa ko ngayon. Nanginig tuloy ang tuhod ko, at peke akong ngumiti sa babae rito sa front desk. Nasa likod ko naman si Tessie."Yes, Ma'am. How can I help you?" She smiled, but it was obviously a fake smile. She looked at me from head to toe and back again."Uhm, I would like to see Mr. Dennis Ezequil Mondragon?" Kumurap kurap ako. Nilakasan ko na ang loob."Oh? Do you happen to have an appointment with him, Ma'am?""A-Appointment? Wala, Miss."Nawala ang ngiti ko. Inaasahan ko na ito. Kilala ko si Diezel, at kahit noon pa ay hindi siya basta-basta tumatangap ng bisita.Ang buong akala ko ay nandito pa sina Kimmy at Dora. Pero wala na. Ano kaya ang nangyari sa kanila? Nilipat din ba sila ni Diezel?"Sorry

Anastacia."Ano!? Buntis ka? At dalawa pa talaga? Shit!"Parang putok ang boses ni Tessie sa tainga ko. Sinabi ko na sa kanya. Wala akong ibang mapagsasabihan at siya lang din."At ano ang plano mo, aber?"Namaywang siya at seryoso akong tinitigan. Umiwas ako at nagpabalik-balik ang lakad ko sa harapan niya."Hindi ko alam. Nalilito ako, Tessie." Kinagat ko na ang pang-ibabang labi."No, Anastacia. I know what you're thinking. Hindi puwede 'to! Kailangan mong sabihin sa kanya! Sasabihin mo at sasamahan kita!"I paused and inhaled deeply."Paano kung ayaw niya? Paano kung ipagtabuyan niya ako, Tessie?"Takot ako, at hindi ako handa kung sakaling magkikita kami ulit. Hindi na kailanman sumagi sa isip ko na makipagkita sa kanya.After he abandoned me, I erased his existence. I hated him so much! I want to forget him. At kung kailan ay okay na ako at handa na ang puso kong makalimot sa lahat, ay saka naman dumating ang problemang ito.Talagang hindi ko na makakalimutan si Diezel dahil bu

Diezel.What are the odds? I'm so effing bored. I raked my hair in exasperation, feeling so frustrated.I'm back here in the business after Italy. I went to Italy to forget Anastacia, but damn it. I couldn't get over with her. I couldn't forget her. Every time I shut my eyes I always see her face, crying, pleading and I feel effing guilty about it.Kung hindi ako pinigilan ni Joel ng gabing iyon, ay tiyak kasama ko na si Anastacia ngayon.I was determined to leave because it was the right thing to do, even if my heart said no. I hesitated and briefly considered going back to Anastacia, but Joel stopped me. He told me there was no hope for me and Anastacia. If I chose her, it would only complicate everything.Damn him! Damn them!They think my life is a game, right? Eff them all.Yes, I have set my goals. I want to build a perfect family with an Italian heritage. That's the ideal gift I could give to my mother and to the whole clan. The Elders are hoping that I will produce an Italian
