Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body Sweet Redemption 49
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

Carmella.Woah, that was cool!Hindi maalis ang ngiti sa mukha ko nang sa wakas ay mahawakan ko ang kamay ni Brodie. Tapos na ang konting labanan at hindi ko kasalanan kung may mga na-stugi! Kasalanan ni Dessa ito."Tsk, you are fucking serious, you know," Drake spat out and swore in vain while looking at me. He's angry.I walked past him together with Brodie behind me.The operation was done, but Brodie didn't say a word. He was probably shocked. I'm glad that they didn't do anything to Brodie at all. Buo siya at walang bugbog sa katawan. Mabuti nalang."Carmella!" Drake called my name firmly, but that didn't scare me.I had enough and from now on I will do what I want to do. Papa never thinks of a plan for the rescue. His security on the watch is shit and useless.Kaya iyon isa-isa kong binaril sa paa para magtanda sila. Mga walang silbe! Isang tao ang babantayan nila hindi pa nila makuhang protektahan! Anong klaseng mga tauhan ba ang Papa meron ngayon? Mukhang nangalawang na yata

Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body Everett's Downfall 28
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 broa

Morris."How are you feeling, Nay?" I gazed at her with concern. Brielle hadn't shared the truth about yesterday's events, and I learned about it only from Nay Belen."Okay lang, dong. I'm good, oi. Why worried? I was having fun there, you know." Humalakhak si Nanay at napangiti ako."Nag-alala ako, Nay. . . You are no longer young to wander around on your own. So, please be very careful." I gave her a quick hug."Oo naman. . . Hindi ko pa pwedeng iwan si Brielle ano." She smirked at Brielle, and my darling Brielle looked worried at her.I moved to her side. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I could have helped," I whispered."Okay lang. Wala namang nangyari. Naka-uwi naman kami ng maayos dalawa ni Tiya." She placed the food she made on the table."Next time, please let me know first, Bree," I gritted my teeth. "I'm here. I should be the first person to know. And the first person you seek for help."We stared, and she nodded gently."Next time. I will seek you first before anything

Brielle.Nakaraos din ang gabi at heto, tulala ako sa sarili.His mother and brother, Glenn, left about an hour ago. Morris and I stayed because this restaurant also provides overnight accommodations for those who wish to stay longer than a day.Hinintay ko lang na matapos si Morris sa banyo at ako na ang kasunod. Wala ako sa sarili kanina at pilit akong nakikisama sa ina niya.She asked many questions as if she were one of my teachers in school. She seemed classy, as she came from a good family, the Monteverde.Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi basta-basta ang pamilya ni Morris. May pangalan siya. May pinangangalagaan. May sari-saring negosyo sa buong Asya at Amerika and mga magulang at kapatid niya. Si Morris lang ang naiiba at hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ang alam ko lang ay may negosyo rin naman siya sa Italya, pero hindi raw kalakihan ito. Hindi raw tulad ng kapatid niyang si Glenn at ng mga magulang niya."Are you alright?"I spun, and there he was, standing a few feet from me, a

Morris."Just meet them. That's the only way. Glenn is doing everything he could. He is in a tight sport, Mors. Hindi ko ito sasabihin sa 'yo ngayon. Pero ginagawa ni Glenn ang lahat para sa 'yo. He might be heartless, but he loves you as his brother."I shut my eyes while listening to Reeve in the line. Wala siya rito at nasa Amerika. Pansamantala, ay si Glenn ang humahawak sa negosyo niya na nasa parehong Isla."I already gave Glenn the details, and your mother will be there. Meet them for once," he added.I gritted my teeth. "I hate the old man," I uttered under my breath."He is not around the country at the moment. It's a good opportunity, Mors. And with the deal Glenn made with your father, it saves you."I inhaled deeply and shook my head.That lunatic Glenn, really? How many times I told him not to worry about me. He needs to worry about himself first! Ang tigas ng ulo niya."I know what you're thinking, Morris. Glenn is your brother. You and him are the same, bro. Hard heade

Brielle."All of the sudden? Akala ko ba hindi ka seryoso sa relasyon na ito? Hindi ba sinabi mo sa akin na wala kang maipapangako?" I looked at him, confused, thinking of the other way around. Excited ako, at kabog ang pintig ng puso ko habang dikit ang tingin ko sa mga mata niya. Napaigting siya, at nakuha ko agad ang ibig niyang sabihin.I sighed, feeling disappointed. "Okay lang, Morris. You don't have to force yourself to introduce me to your parents. I'm not ready for this." Inunahan ko na. I shook my head and turned away from him. I know I should be celebrating because most woman looks forward to this... To introduce them to the parents of the person they love. But Morris is different. We already had a deal. He doesn't want any lingering promises, and I don't like this. I don't want a commitment. Kahit pa sabihin na natin na sabik ako at gusto ko naman, ay puno naman ng pag-aalala ang puso ko. Kaya mas mabuting wala na."Hey, Bree. Listen to me." He followed me.I paused an

Morris."Did you stuff it up?" Bryce asked in the line."No. I did not, asshole. I'm not as sick as you," I laughed while connecting the line to Linus."Fuck. You know you're an asshole, too, at times, Mors. You almost give me a heart attack, bro." He chuckled. His line came back clear now, and I can see him better than before."Yo, looks great! What did you do to yourself, Mors? You're finger-licking good, man," Linus spat. He can see me better, too.My face flushed, and I shook my head."Psst, keep quiet, gentleman. Let me remind you that our big black bear is in love." Diezel uttered."What? Damn. Are you serious?" Bryce's mouth parted. "I can't believe it." He shook his head."Oh well, who's the lucky girl?" Linus smiled."Let me guess? Is it Brielle? Siya lang naman ang magtitiyaga sa isang katulad mo, Mors," kantyaw ng walanghiyang Diezel."Stuff you." I cursed and growled at him, and the rest of them laughed."Ibang klase… So, this Brielle what she's like?" Linus asked."Oh, u

Brielle.Mainit, pero hindi masakit ang sikat ng araw. Naka two-piece swim suit ako at tinutulungan ako ni Morris sa paglagay ng sunscreen.Nasa gitna na kami ng dagat at may dalawang fishing rod na nakatambay na para sa isda. Hinihintay na lang ni Morris na may kumain sa pain niya."All done, babe. You are well covered and protected from sunburnt." He puts back the lotion on the side bench."Thank you, babe," agap ko at kinuha ko na ang sombrero. "Hmm, gaano ba katagal ang isda?" Titig ko sa dalawang fishing rod sa harapan."In a second… here we go." Pumwesto agad si Morris at hinawakan ang fishing rod. May isda na. Pero gumalaw rin agad ang isang fishing rod. May isda na rin ito."Take that one, babe.""Okay… paano nga ba?" Pinuwesto ko ang dulo ng fishing rod sa tagiliran at saka hinatak ko ang reeling pabalik sa akin. "Ang bigat!""Just hold still. I won't be long with this, and I will help you with that," he says and quickly maneuvered his move.Steady lang ang hawak ko at reeli

Morris."Done and dusted. All sorted, boss.""Motlo bene, Blue. Very good. And please don't call me boss, especially in front of Brielle." I whispered because I could see Brielle ahead, smiling, approaching me."Va bene, capo."I smirked a little. Still, he called me boss in the Italian language. Asshole."Morris, baby!" Brielle hugged me, and I hugged her tighter. Blue sharply looked at her, and by the time his eyes glanced at me, I growled. He then dipped his head."Y-you have someone with you?" Nakatingin na si Brielle kay Bleu, at nakayuko pa rin ang gago."Yes. This is Blue, baby. He is my dear friend," I introduced. "Say hello to my girl, Bleu."Tumitig muna si Bleu sa akin at maamo na ang mukha niya. At saka kay Brielle na siya ngumiti."È un piacere conoscerla, signora." Nilahad niya ang kamay kay Brielle."Huh? Ano raw?" Brielle looked at me in confusion. I gritted my teeth, giving Bleu an ultimatum."Fanculo. Parla in inglese, Blu." I fucking swore, asking him to talk in En
