Gavril assembled the whiteboard again, iniharap niya ito sa aming tatlo. Alexis, Amanda, and I are now sitting on the sofa, of course, Amanda is in the middle, Alexis is still careful to touch me, while Gavril is in front of us standing in front of the whiteboard holding a marker on his right hand. Amanda asked me earlier what are those words written on the whiteboard and I told her that those are the things in my vision about Francine’s death. Hindi pa rin namin binubura ang mga sinulat namin last time sa may whiteboard.
Tiningnan ko si Alexis and he seems so excited to know what is Gavril is going to say about the statement that we got from the suspect, Aldwin Herrera. At kahit kasama ako ni Gavril kaninang nakipag-usap sa suspect ay wala akong idea kung sino ang culprit sa kasong ito. But Gavril said that he knows who is the real murderer.
“Roux,” napatingin ako nang k

Dysfunctional Chapter 34. “Scars of the past”
Chapter 34. “Scars of the past”The silence in my room is deafening. I can only hear the ticking of the clock while staring at my room’s ceiling. It is quarter in the midnight and I am lying in my bed trying to sleep but I can’t. Up until now, I am still thinking about what I saw earlier about Gavril. It happened again. I saw a vision of Gavril’s death. Pero tulad noong unang may nakita ako sa kanya noong hawakan niya ako, hindi pa rin ito kumpleto. Hindi ko alam kung kailangan ito mangyayari o ano ang kabuuhan kung paano mangyayari ang magiging pagkamatay niya. It is so confusing and I don’t know what is going on.Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata habang ramdam ko ang kaba sa aking dibdib habang pabalik-balik sa aking isipan ang mga nakita ko kanina. Natatakot ako. Nalulungkot ako. Naiiyak ako at sobrang naguguluhan sa nangyayari. I though I will never see anything about his death. I thought he was the
Dysfunctional Chapter 35. “Rage, Revenge and Reflection”
Chapter 35. “Rage, Revenge and Reflection”We’ve arrived at Domingo’s house. Malayo kami sa bahay ng mga Domingo at nasa loob pa rin kami ng sasakyan habang inooberbahan ang paligid ng bahay ng mga Domingo. And even if this house is inside an exclusive and executive village, the Domingo family wanted to secure the house, especially while the prosecutors and the polices’ investigations are still ongoing.About what I said earlier about Gavril’s death, they asked me if I can tell more details about what I saw in my vision and I agreed with them.“There are two guards in front of the house,” Amanda said.“What is the plan?” tanong ni Gavril kay Alexis. Seryoso lang namang nakatingin si Alexis sa labas ng sasakyan at saka ngumisi.“Ikot tayo sa likod ng bahay.”Gavril requested the driver to turn. Pagdating namin sa likod ng bahay, ay bumaba na kami
Dysfunctional Chapter 36. “You are beautiful”
Chapter 36. “You are beautiful”Few days had past after we got the pen in Francine’s room. The polices and prosecutors did their job to investigate the sister of Francine and they also have their hearing and on the hearing, Francine’s sister admitted the crime she have done. Alexis, Gavril and I was there and we heard the story between them. The one who texted Aldwin was her, the one who have killed her own sister was her, the one who did this hideos crime and framed someone up was her.I saw Aldwin cried and shout from the top of his lungs. He was really angry that time. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang sinabi niya noon sa amin ni Gavril.“I have proved my innocence but how could I live now freely when the love of my life is not here with me?” Umiiyak na sabi niya sa amin.“Think about what Francine will feel now, I know that she don’t you to be punished for the crime you did not do. I k
Dysfunctional Chapter 37. “A companion forever”
Chapter 37. “A companion forever”It’s quarter to 6:00 in the morning, nakabihis na ako and I am standing here outside the main door while waiting for Gavril to arrive. Today we will have a three-day vacation for the kite competition in Cavite, at napag-usapan namin na maagang umalis para mamasyal pa kami sa Tagaytay ngayong umaga.Gavril settled everything. He said that I don’t need to worry. I don’t know if I should call this a date, but yes, maybe it is a date. And besides, this is the only time again that I will visit Tagaytay because the last time I’ve been there was when I was a kid when my parents took me there for my 8th birthday. Gusto ko ring makalanghap ng malamig at sariwang hangin.Maya-maya pa ay napalingon ako sa gate nang
Dysfunctional Chapter 38. “Purpose in life”
Chapter 38. “Purpose in life”“Are you okay?” rinig kong tanong ni Gavril. Tulala lang ako sa labas ng sasakyan. Papunta na kami sa Tierra de Maria, dito daw muna kami pumunta para magdasal.Tumango lang ako bilang sagot sa tanong ni Gavril taliwas sa totoo kong nararamdaman.“I know you’re not fine.” Aniya na kinabigla ko. Tiningnan ko siya at nakangiti siya habang tutok ang mata sa daan habang nagmamaneho. “Iniisip ko rin naman ‘yon.” Dagdag pa niya.Napabuntong-hininga ako at napanguso.“Bakit ba ang hirap maniwala ng isang tao?” malungkot kong sabi.I was referring to what happened in the hotel lobby earlier. Nang marinig namin ni Gavril ang pangalan ng babaeng magchecheck-in ay agad namin siyang nilapitan at kinausap. Gavril approached them very well. Tinitigan ko ring mabuti ang mukha ng babae at inalala ang nasa vision ko tungkol sa fourt
Dysfunctional Chapter 39. “Out of the blue”
Chapter 39. “Out of the blue”It was supposed to be a romantic moment. It was the right time for a perfect moment. But then, out of the blue and unexpected circumstances, what I am afraid of certainly flashes in my head. A vision of the one I treasure right now, a complete vision of his death.Ayaw ko, ayaw kong mahawakan siyang muli. Ayaw kong makita pa. Ayaw ko. Natatakot ako.Pagbaba namin ng ferris wheel, I shout at me to stay from me. Tumakbo ako paalis at iniwan si Gavril. Narinig ko pa ang nag-aalalang sigaw niya sa pangalan ko at hinabol niya ako pero agad akong nagtago sa gilid ng isang booth. Walang tigil ang pag-agos ng aking luha mula sa aking mata habang patuloy kong nakikita at naaalala ang mga nakita ko tungkol sa kanya pagkamatay. Hingal na hingal ako habang humahagulgol sa pag-iyak.Hindi maaari. Si Gavril…“Roux!” napalingon ako nang marinig ko ang sigaw ni
Dysfunctional Chapter 40. “Pain in my heart”
Chapter 40. “Pain in my heart”Hanna invited me to have a talk. I don’t know how did she know about my ability to see the death of people who touches or touches me. And that’s the reason why I accept her invitation. I need to find out.Pagbaba namin ng lobby ay hinanap ko si Gavril, nilibot ko na ang buong paligid ng libby pero wala siya roon. I thought he is here now waiting for me. Pumunta na kami sa dining hall ng hotel para doon mag-usap. Pag-upo namin ay agad ko siyang tiningnan ng seryoso. I saw her release a deep sigh and face me.“You can ask.” She said.Alangan man ay nagtanong na ako sa kanya. “Paano mo—“ Natigil ang pagsasalita ko nang makita ko siyang ngumisi. Napasalubong ako ng kilay sa naging reaction niya, I just find it rude.“I know that you’ll ask me that.” Seryoso niyang sabi. “Because like you, I am also special.” Nanla
Dysfunctional Chapter 41. “It’s alright, I’m fine”
Chapter 41. “It’s alright, I’m fine”After we ate our lunch, we are now heading to the venue of the Kite Competition. Habang nasa biyahe kami, ay tahimik lang kaming pareho, actually simula pa kanina sa may coffee shop ay tahimik lang kaming pareho. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero nasasaktan akong ganito kaming dalawa ni Gavril. From what he said earlier, I feel like he is too far away from me, and it is hurting me.But behind those words he said earlier to me, I know that I should be the one to blame. His face while shedding tear when he left that night flash in my mind. I know that I hurt him, I know that he was hurt because I kept on pushing him away every time that I have seen the vision of his death. How many times did I ask him to leave me? To stay away from me? Now, I know how he feels every time I say those words to him. And it is not a good feeling. It feels like anytime my chest will burst out, and my tears will

Dysfunctional Epilogue
EpilogueGavril’s Point of ViewFifteen Years had passed.The ambiance inside the courtroom was filled with tension as everyone inside is waiting for prosecutors and the defendant’s side to speak. Everyone is cautious and careful. The judge locked his eyes on anyone who is speaking. This is not actually a tough case, because I can actually prove this old man’s innocence. This is a case of murder but the real culprit of this crime framed up someone, pointing and setting up someone’s innocence.I sat very straight and calmly as I can while I am hearing the lawyer of the defendant’s statement. He stating the scenario capturing the main suspect of the crime. He also asked the suspect about his statement of what happened that night. I looked at the old man seated in the jury box seat as he was asking about the case. Kita ko ang labis na kaba at takot sa mata ng matanda. His voice

Dysfunctional Chapter 49. “Dark clouds, pouring rain”
Chapter 49. “Dark clouds, pouring rain”March 15, 2019Naitakip ko ang dalawang palad ko sa aking mukha habang malinaw kong nakikita at naririnig ang matinis na tunog ng isang aparato sa loob ng emergency room. The doctor was applying CPR but in the end, the woman I bumped earlier died. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." I whispered as I wiping off my tears. Another death happened. Isa na namang pagkamatay na nakita ko. "Excuse me?" napapitlag ako nang may kumatok sa pinto ng cubicle kung nasaan ako. "Are you okay?"A deep voice of a man asked me. Nalito ako at nagtaka dahil nasa restroom ako dito sa school pero bakit may lalaki sa loob ng restroom ng mga babae?"I'm fine...just leave me." sagot ko habang inaayos ang sarili ko. I heard him chuckled. "You know what, you really scared me. I thought you're a ghost. Muntik nang hindi lumabas i
Dysfunctional Chapter 48. “Thank you, my first love”
Chapter 48. “Thank you, my first love”“Gavril stop. Stop all of this. Why do keep on insisting on what you are believing for? Kung ano ang iniisip mo sa tingin mo ay tama!” “Bakit hindi ba, Roux? Alam mo, hindi na rin kita maintindihan minsan. Hindi ko alam kung iniiwasan mo ba ako dahil sa note o sa nakita mo tungkol sa akin or may mas malalim pang dahilan. You run off my house when you knew that it’s my father’s portrait. Tell me, Roux!”“Hindi mo na kailangang malaman, Gavril. Dahil aalis na ako rito.”“Mahal na mahal kita, Roux pero parang pagod na ako…”The memories of what happened yesterday keep on lingering in my mind. Paulit-ulit na umi-echo sa tainga ko ang sinabi ni Gavril. Ramdam ko ang sobrang emosyon nang sabihin niya iyon. I don’t understand myself but I felt so guilty right now. Gavril
Dysfunctional Chapter 47. “The Family Feud”
Chapter 47. “The Family Feud”Buong araw kong pinag-iisipan kahapon ang lahat tungkol sa nalaman ko. What happened in the past is still clear in my mind. That tragic scene of my life, the day when my parents died in front of my own very eyes. And now that I found who is responsible for that tragedy. It was him, hindi ako maaaring magkamali. Pero sa likod ng galit na nararamdaman ko nang malaman kong Daddy ni Gavril ang taong nagpakidnapped sa akin noon, mayroon akong lungkot na nararamdaman. Bakit sa dami ng tao, magulang pa ng lalaking mahal ko ang gumawa noon?That day, I leave Gavril in confusion. Tumakbo lang ako palabas ng bahay nila without saying a word. Sobra akong nabigla at natakot nang malaman ko ‘yon. Kaya naman kahapon pa rin ako tinatawagan ni Gavril and he even went here pero hindi ko s
Dysfunctional Chapter 46. “Mirror of our soul ”
Chapter 46. “Mirror of our soul ”Eight years ago, I cannot see how beautiful the world was. I was blind and all I can see was darkness. Kapag magbi-birthday ako, palagi kong wish ay ang may mahanap nang magdo-donate ng mata para sa akin. Gusto kong makakita, gusto kong makita sila Mommy at Daddy. Gusto kong makita ang mundo, ang magagandang paligid. And when my 9th birthday coming, I told my Dad my birthday wish again, to be able to see. And that wish was commanded by my Dad.“Really, Dad? Makakakita na ako?” I was so excited that time when Dad said the news to me. He finally found eyes for me.“Yes, Princess…the operation we will do the operation tomorrow, so have to prepare and be strong.” My Dad said. I nodded so quickly in response to him.“Yes, Daddy…” sagot ko. I felt his hand slowly patted my head.&ldqu

Habang palapit nang palapit ang petsang nakasulat sa note ay mas lalo akong kinakabahan. Amanda and Alexis are busy with the last note. And since last week, we still didn’t find who is the person named Gabriel on the last note.These past few days, I feel like I went back to my old self, myself of being alone again. Siguro ay nasanay na ako na araw-araw ay nakikita at nakakasama ko si Gavril. Pero dahil kailangan namin hindi magkita para maiwasan ang mangyayari ay handa akong maging mag-isa. Alexis also forbids us to communicate with each other. Noong una ay nalungkot ako but later on I understand and realized Alexis’ order.Bukod sa hindi namin pagkikita ni Gavril ng isang Linggo, isa pa sa nangyari na pinagtataka ko ay ang palagi

Chapter 43. “Mystery of the last note”Tahimik kong pinagmamasdan ang mga batang naglalaro rito sa playground. Hapon na at naisipan kong ilabas muna si Sham-sham at maglakad-lakad dito sa village at nang mapadaan ako dito sa playground ay naupo muna ako at hawak ang tali ni Sham-sham na nasa tabi ko.Mag-iisang linggo na mula nang magbakasyon kami ni Gavril sa Tagaytay at manalo sa Kite Competition sa Cavite. Ganoon pa rin naman ang nangyayari, pumupunta si Gavril sa bahay, maglalaro sila ni Sham-sham, magku-kwentuhan kami at saka uuwi na siya. Pero sa ilang araw na palagi kong kasama si Gavril sa bahay, palagi ko pa ring naiisip ang sinabi sa akin ni Auntie Remi tungkol kay Gavril. I don’t understand why do I need to stay away from Gavril just because he is a Santillan? I don’t get it and what is the connection of Gavril’s family to ours? Bakit kilala ni Auntie Remi ang family ni Gavril?“Si Gavr
