ATHENA'S P. O. V I couldn't hold back myself from groaning as I bend to stretch my back. I felt relieve and well satisfied after I heard the loud cracking of my backbones. Finally, I'm done! I quickly turned on my E- mail account, browse there to find a certain name, and start typing some quick message of notice. "Good evening, Miss! This is to inform you that the website you entrusted me to develop and design is already done! Please, reply as soon as possible so that we can proceed to discuss further details! Thanks so much!" I was about to add few more sentences, but I was caught up by the sudden opening of my bedroom door. I automatically look behind me, only to see my grandparents carrying a tray with some food on it. I can't help not to smile when I saw exactly what they're doing. Para silang mga magnanakaw na umaatake sa kalaliman ng gabi, sinisiguro ang bawat galaw at pinipigilan na makalikha ng kahit anong ingay. Animo'y nagtalo pa sila ng bahagya matapos tumunog ng mahi
ATHENA'S P. O. V Nang matapos kong basahin ang lahat ng nakasulat doon ay lalo lang tumindi ang nararamdaman ko. That something on my chest even seemed to be heavier... "Kamusta ka na, anak ko? Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal maghihintay ang ipinadala kong ito bago mo ito buksan. Naiintindihan ko naman at alam ko rin na baka hanggang ngayon ay galit ka pa rin sa akin. Hindi naman kita masisisi dahil alam kong ako rin ang puno't dulo ng lahat ng ito. Kung nagagalit ka man sa akin ay wala kang kasalanan doon. I am the one to blame for all these chaos. I wrote this letter, first, to inform you about my condition. I know, you're still probably not interested with how AM I doing these past few days. But I'll still say it to you. I've been diagnosed with sever blood cancer. But to tell you honestly, I've been planning to come over there and catch things up with you once you response to this message. Pero hindi ko alam kung aabutan ko pa ba ang reply mo dahil gaya nga ng sabi ko, hindi ko
ATHENA'S P. O. V Ilang araw pa ang lumipas at patuloy ko lang ipinagsawalang- bahala ang natanggap kong padala galing kay Mama. Hanggang sa isang araw, matapos ng mahabang oras na pagtatrabaho ay naisipan kong buksan ulit iton. Hindi para pag- isipan kung tatanggapin ko ba lahat ng gusto niyang ibigay at iwanan sa akin. Because I already made up my mind. I'll be turning down everything that's already written on by her. Kinuha ko ang libro na hindi ko pa alam kung tungkol saan, at kinuha ko ulit mula doon ang isang card na nakaipit. It's a calling card. May nakalagay doon na panglana, contact number, at maging ang address ng isang taong abogado raw ni Mama. Pagkakuha ko doon ay agad akong tumayo at lumapit sa telepono na nasa kwarto lang din para tawagan ang taong nakasaad sa calling card. And just after a few rings, sumagot na ang taong cino- contact ko sa kabilang linya. "Yes, hello? It's good to finally hear from you, Miss Athena!" bati ng isang lalaki sa kabilang linya. Napaku
ATHENA'S P. O. V Ganoon na lang ang pagbagsak ng panga ko at panlalaki ng mga maya ko nang mapalingon ako sa bandang likod ng sasakyan kung nasaan ako. Sitting there is a handsome--- no, the most gorgeous man I've never seen! He looked like a demi god. So powerfully gorgeous! Bakit ba hindi ko siya agad napansin kanina? "`Care to say something?" he suddenly said, as he let out a lopsided smile. Napalunok ako. "A- Ahm... H- Hi. I'm... Athena Madison." nauutal na pagkilala ko. Tumawa siya. Ako naman ay biglang napapikit dahil sa matinding kahihiyan na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay ako ang pinagtatawanan niya. Oh, darn. Bakit ba kasi ako biglang nataranta at nautal?! "Yeah, I already knew that. What I meant I want you to say is that, how are you doing? How's your trip?" sabi niya. "Pero hayaan mo na. It's better you said your name to me again. Akala ko kasi kanina, imbis na anak ay ang nanay ni Miss Nina ang naisipan biglang magpakita sa akin dito." Ramdam na ramd
ATHENA'S P. O. V Just like what Trevor said, we went down straight to the dining room at exactly fifteen minutes after we had our call. Muntik pa kaming maligaw. Hindi naman kasi siguro namin kasalanan kung bakit napakalaki ng bahay na ito at baguhan lang kami dito, 'di ba? "I'm so glad you made it here. Buti at hindi kayo naligaw." biro ni Trevor nang sa wakas ay makarating na kami sa malawak na dining room. He even laughed a little after saying those words. He was already sitting there, with bunch of foods prepared on the table. Jane on the other hand, laughed too, but in a sarcastic way, as she utter the words, "Not funny." Napansin ko sina Gilda at Ayana na nakatayo ilang hakbang lang ang layo sa mesa. Nakasalubong pa ang paningin namin ng una, bagay na lalong hindi nagpa kumportable sa akin. Pakiramdam ko tuloy ngayon ay lagi silang nakatingin sa akin. They seem to be watching every step I'm making. Lalo na si Gilda. But when I turned my gaze at Trevor, I noticed him starin
GEORGINA'S P. O. V I can't belive this place we just went to. And I was not, and will never gonna be prepared for this. Athena just asked Trevor to bring us to her mother. At ang kumag na abogado naman na iyon, hindi man lang nag dalawang isip na pagbigyan si Athena sa hinihiling nito. Kaya nandito kami ngayon, nakatayo at nakatitig sa harapan ng puntod ng ina ni Athena, si Tita Nina. "I told you, this will going to be your first and greatest mistake to Athena." I said to Trevor in an almost whisperingn voice. Siya ang kasama ko ngayon, at magkatabi kaming nakatayo ilang hakbang mula sa kinaroroonan ni Athena. "Oh, talaga? Paano mo nasabi? Didn't Athena always wished to see and to be with her mom again? I just made her wish come true. Even though it's a bit late. But at least and still, I did." the jerk said. He doesn't even seemed to care. Mukha ngang proud pa siya sa sarili niya at sa ginawa niya. But well, I can't blame him. Wala nga naman siyang alam na kahit ano tungkol sa n
ATHENA'S P. O. V After hearing those words from Trevor, I can say that once again, but finally and surely, I already made up my mind. There's this sudden willingness within me that urges myself to finish the piece my mom wasn't able to. "N- naiintindihan ko na. B- but... Why did you say my name instead of suggestion others just like what my mom asked you to in the first place?" I asked him. That's when he smiled a bit. "I have so many reasons, Athena." he said, meaningfully. "And I have so many time, too, to listen on every reason you're having." He agreed, with a disclaimer that our talk could take much time. "First of all, sinabi sa akin ng mama mo na kung sino man ang makatatapis ng libro niya, ay mapupunta doon one- fourth ng lahat ng kayamanan na meron siya. So, let's say that my selfishness and greediness ate me, that's why I thought I shouldn't let that happen. Kaya naisip kita. Para sa oras na matapos ang libro ng mama mo, at ikaw ang nakatapos noon, imbis na sa iba ay s
ATHENA'S P. O. V Nagising na lang ako kinabukasan sa ingay ng alarm clock ko. Bumungad agad sa akin ang mga naggagandahang 3D mini figure ng mga planeta, mga bituin, at iba pang bagay na matatagpuan sa kalawakan. Pakiramdam ko tuloy ay nakatitig ako ngayon sa kabuuan ng universe at ng outside world. Lumingon ako sa isang bahagi ng pader kung saan may nakasabit na portrait ng larawan namin nina Mama at Papa. Agad akong napangiti pagkakita ko doon. "Good morning, Mama and Papa! 'Hope you have a good day there in heaven!" masiglang bati ko habang nakatingin pa rin sa larawan. Bumangon na ako agad nag- inat. Paglabas ko ng kwarto ko ay mas lalo pang gumaan ang pakiramdam ko sa mga nakikita ko sa paligid. It's like living a provincial life inside an urbanized and modern city. Napagpasiyahan kong bumaba na para kumuha ng tubig at kasangkapan na pwedeng ilang dilig. Simula kasi ngayon ay ako na ang personal na mag aalaga sa mga bulaklaking halaman na iniwan ni Mama para sa akin. Hindi
