“Get up, Vielle. Mag-impake ka na.” My mom suddenly slammed my door open. 

Hindi ako nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya. “Ayokong sumama, Ma. Kayo na lang.” 

I’m still busy memorizing here and I have no plans of having an early vacation. Besides, isang gabi lang naman siguro ipagdadaos ang pasko, 'di ba? 

I heard her took a deep breath. “We patiently waited for your vacation, Elle. Take a break from studies and spend christmas with us.” 

Dito na ako nag-angat ng tingin. My mom's pleading eyes were really pursuading me to come with them. “Isang taon na lang, ma. Next year, graduate na ako. Sa bagong taon na lang siguro ako, Ma. Hahabol ako.” 

“No.” She shook her head. “Your brother is looking for you and he demands to see you.” 

Otomatiko akong natigilan sa paglilipat-lipat ng pahina sa binabasa kong libro. I lifted my gaze on her and saw how serious she was. Napabuntong-hininga ako at muling nagbaba ng tingin sa libro. 

“Just tell him I can’t come, Ma. I still need to finish some projects. At isa pa, I'm running as suma-cum laude. It’s his condition for me. Siguro naman ay papayag na siyang hindi ako sumama.” I looked at her. “I promise, this would be the last christmas I'm not gonna spend with you. Babawi ako sa susunod na taon.” 

My mother look at me and smile. “Sige, sasabihin ko na lang ‘yan sa Kuya mo. Take a break and relax sometimes, Elle. No night outs, okay?” 

Hindi ko maiwasang mapairap. Seriously, matagal na akong tumigil sa night-outs na ‘yan magmula nang ma-grounded ako ng ilang buwan. My brother is that strict. He even threatens to lockdown my school if they don’t make follow-ups about my studies. That manipulative jerk. So full of himself. Porket siya na ang may hawak ng lahat ng kayamanan ng mga Martinez. 

“I already refrain from night-outs, ma,” I retorted. 

Nginitian lang ako ni Mama at nagpaalam na mag-eempake na siya. Laking pasalamat ko na lang din para makapag-memorize ako na walang ingay. I need to memorize this. Marami pa akong kailangang tapusin, and I only have two weeks to finish it all. Kaya wala akong oras para maipagdiriwang ang pasko.

Nangunot ang noo ko nang mag-vibrate ang aking cellphone sa gilid ng aking geography book. I picked up my phone to see who’s the caller. At mas lalong nangunot ang aking noo nang mapagtanto kong hindi ko kilala ang numero ng tumatawag. 

“Hello?” I answered, finally getting up from lying on my bed. “This is Vielle Martinez, speaking. Who’s this?” 

But what I only heard is breathing. Moments later, the caller ended the call. Nagtataka kong tinignan ang aking screen at napamulagat nang may mensaheng lumitaw sa aking notification panel. I immediately swipe it open. 

Unknown: 

Bring your homeworks here in Bora. Spend this Christmas with us, Diana. 

Nakagat ko ang aking ibabang labi. Kahit na walang pasabi kung sino ang nagmensahe sa’kin, I know who it was. Isang tao lang naman ang tumatawag sa akin ng Diana. And that’s my brother, Daze Jaden. 

Wala sa sarili kong ibinagsak ang aking katawan sa kama at napatulala sa kisame ng aking silid. My phone is on my right hand while my left hand is holding my chest that was pounding so fast. 

Bakit niya ba ako gustong pumunta? 

--

“I thought you won’t come?” takang tanong ni Mama nang mapansin niyang may bitbit akong dalawang maleta. 

Nang makababa ako ng hagdanan ay pilit akong ngumiti. “Kuya called last night.” 

Napangiti naman si Mama habang si Papa ay focus lang sa pagtitipa ng kanyang cellphone. “That’s good.” 

“Yeah,” sagot ko at hilaw na ngumiti. 

“Let’s go,” Papa said and placed back his phone inside his pocket. 

Kinuha ng dalawang guwardiya ang aking dalawang maleta. Mama and papa walked towards ng door and I followed them. Pinasak ko sa aking tenga ang earphone ko at nilakasan ang volume. Listening to music is my hobby, but music doesn’t like me. Sintunado ako kung kumanta kaya nakikinig na lang ako.

“Hop in, young lady,” sambit ni Mama na ikinairap ko. 

Martinez is quite known in our town because of the power. Hindi ko sila masisisi. Martinez clan are all rich. Walang patapon. Marami din kaming negosyo na sumikat. So it’s normal for me to be called ‘young lady’. 

“What the hell are you wearing, Elle?” tanong ni Mama nang makapasok ako ng sasakyan. 

I didn’t heed her any attention. Sumandal kaagad ako sa aking kinauupuan at pinikit ang aking mga mata. It’s not that I haven’t got enough sleep, ayoko lang talaga marinig ang mga pangangaral ni Mama.

She hates it when I’m wearing shorts and some skin revealing clothes. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ngayon lang niya napuna ang aking suot samantalang nagkausap kami sa sala kanina. 

“Be a good girl to your brother, Elle,” Papa said in a low voice as the car starts to move. 

Napasimangot ako. “Matagal na akong good girl, pa.” 

Tumango si papa. “Don’t give your brother headaches.” 

“What do you mean?” I asked. “Bakit ka namamaalam?” 

He chuckled, busy naman si mama sa pakikipag-usap sa telepono niya. “Your mother and I will be having Christmas in Paris. Maiiwan ka sa Bora.”

“What?!” Tinaggal ko ang earphone na nakapasak sa aking tenga at malalaki ang mga matang tinignan siya. “Then babalik na lang ako sa mansi—” 

“That’s a big no, young lady. Ayaw naming magpasko kang mag-isa. An emergency meeting called that’s why we’ll have our Christmas there. Don’t worry, uuwi kami bago mag-bagong taon,” Papa said in an assuring tone and I can’t help but to rolled my eyes. 

“Whatever,” I replied. My bitchy attitude really loves to butt-in all of a sudden. 

Sakto namang inanunsiyo na ng driver na nasa airport na kami. Naunang bumaba si papa at inalalayan kami ni mama sa pagbaba. Bitbit pa rin ng mga bodyguard nila Papa ang aming mga bagahe hanggang sa makarating kami sa loob ng paliparan. I also put back my earphones and continue listening to music. 

“Bilisan mong maglakad, Elle. Mahuhuli tayo sa flight.” Pagsusungit ni mama.

Nakatinginan kami ni papa at sabay na nagkibit-balikat. Bad mood si Mama. Well, hindi na bago ang ganyang ugali niya. I think I inherited that attitude from her. Sometimes nice, always bitchy. 

Nang makasakay kami ng eroplano ay giniya kami ng flight attendant sa aming upuan. My dream job. The dream job which made me took tourism as my course. The FA smiled at us after she pointed our seats. Nagpasalamat naman si Papa samantalang si Mama ay grumpy na umupo sa kanyang upuan. I wonder paano napagtitiisan ni papa ang ugali ni Mama? 

Oh, well. It’s none of my business. As long as they are together, okay na. Ayokong magkaroon ng broken family. That’s horrible. 

“Isang oras lang ang biyahe, Vielle. Don’t ever think of sleeping,” Mama said. 

I looked at her and smiled sweetly before leaning on the window and close my eyes. Wala naman akong gagawin dito sa eroplano bukod sa tumunganga, ‘di ba? 

Mabilis lang talaga ang naging biyahe. Nakaidlip lang ako ng ilang minuto ngunit agad din akong inuga ni Papa. Maybe I'll just sleep later. 

Papikit-pikit pa ako habang naglalakad sa aisle ng eroplano. Tanging si papa lang kinapitan ko para hindi ako matalisod sa paglalakad. Bed is calling me. Gusto ko nang makarating kami agad para makapagpahinga kami.

“Mister and Misses Martinez, this way please,” I heard someone talked.

Nagsimula nang maglakad si papa habang ako ay nakakapit pa rin sa balikat niya. I’m a father’s girl, but my attitude was from my mother’s. Hindi kami masyadong magkasundo dahil kasing-higpit niya si Kuya, while Papa spoils me. Minsan ay tinutulungan niya ako sa pag-cover up ng reason para  hindi ako mapagalitan ni Kuya. 

“Stop clinging on your father’s arms and hop in inside, Elle,” sambit ni Mama. 

Dinilat ko na ang aking mga mata at nakasimangot na sumakay sa isang kulay gray na van. Pumwesto ako sa may pinakalikod at sumandal sa bintana. Si Papa ay nasa front seat samantalang si Mama ay katabi ko. 

“Did you bring your homeworks?” she asked.

Tumango ako at ini-unlock ang aking phone. “Bakit?”

“That’s what I heard from your brother. Sabi niya tutulungan ka niyang matapos kaagad homeworks mo para makapag-enjoy ka sa pasko.” 

Tumango ako kahit hindi ko maintindihan ang sinabi niya. My music’s volume is high for crying out loud! Hindi ko masyadong ma-comprehend ang sinasabi niya kaya tumango nalang ako. 

Hindi na siya nagsalita pa, kaya mas pinili ko na lang din ipikit ang aking mga mata. But I guess it’s a very wrong idea. Kuya Daze’s face came into the view as soon as I closed my eyes. Wala sa sarili kong kinuyom ang aking kamao habang nakapikit. I hate him. 

Matagal-tagal na rin magmula nang huli naming pagkikita. I guess it was two years ago? I can’t recall. Hindi kasi siya mahilig umuwi ng mansiyon. Marami siyang bahay at condo, kaya bakit pa siya uuwi ng bahay? Isa na rin siguro ‘yan sa ipinagpapasalamat ko. I hate his presence to the core! God knows how I hate him. 

“Baba ka na, Elle. Nandito na tayo,” I heard mom said. 

I took a deep breath before opening my eyes. Kinusot-kusot ko pa ito at nag-inat ng braso. I yawned before following mother out of the car. 

“Maligayang pagdating po sa inyo,” The lady in a maid outfit greeted us. 

Naglibot ako ng paningin. Ngayon ko lang napansin ang malamig na hanging dumadampi sa balat ko. Napakaaliwalas din ng paligid. I can smell the salty air coming from the ocean which excites me. May malalaki ding puno ng niyog dito malapit sa resthouse ni Kuya, ngunit walang bunga. 

“Please, come in.” The lady politely guided us inside. 

Napahawak naman ako sa braso ni Papa. “Andito si Kuya?” 

Narinig siguro ako ng maid kaya tumigil ito at nakangiting binalingan ako. “Kasama niya pong umalis si Miss Taliah para magsimba. Mamayang gabi pa po siguro sila makakauwi.” 

“Who’s Taliah?” I asked. Sino si Taliah? Girlfriend niya? 

“Taliah is your brother’s fiancée,” nakangiting tugon ni mama na ikinasimangot ko. 

Tingnan mo ‘to. Kapag ako nagka-boyfriend, galit na galit, tapos kapag si kuya nagka-girlfriend, nangingiti pa at tuwang-tuwa. Ang unfair talaga. 

“Okay,” I replied. 

Naglibot ako ng paningin sa paligid. May malaking chandelier sa gitna, may isang mahabang sofa na kulay gray at dalawang pang-isahan na kapwa kulay gray din. The curtains were in color dirty white and the tiled floor were designed by blue marbles. May naka-hang ding mga paintings at frames na may lamang litrato ng mga tourist spots sa pader. It’s a two storey house, not bad for a resthouse. 

“Sinabihan na po ako ni Senyorito sa mga magiging silid ninyo.” The lady never took her smile off from her lips. 

Tumango si Mama. “May silid ba rito sa baba? Nakakatamad na umakyat ng second floor.” 

Mahina akong humagikhik sa narinig. Tumikhim naman si papa, siguro ay nagpipigil ng tawa. My mom is a lady person, period. 

“Opo, senyora. Nalinis na po namin ang silid na uukupahin ninyo.” The lady look at me. “Pinapasabi rin ni Senyorito na doon ka mananatili sa pangalawang palapag.” 

The lady called someone and that someone came out from the kitchen— I guess? 

“Samahan mo si Senyorita sa kanyang silid,” the lady said. 

Napangiwi ako. Senyorita? Are they using Italian to address their masters? I shrugged. I don’t care, I need to rest. 

Nilapitan ako ng babaeng tinawag ng mayordoma. Yeah, maybe siya ang mayordoma. 

“Tara po?” nakangiting tanong nito. 

I nodded my head and excused myself from mama and papa. Sinundan ko naman kaagad ang babaeng naunang naglakad paakyat ng hagdan. Tinanggal ko ang pagkakapasak ng earphone sa aking tenga at bumuntong hininga. Nang makarating kami ng pangalawang palapag, huminto kami sa isang pinto. 

“Ito po ang magiging silid ninyo, Senyorita. Ang sa kabila po ay kay Senyorito Daze.” She pointed the door few meters away from us. 

I nodded. “Thank you,”

“Walang anuman po. Tawagin niyo nalang po ako kung may kinakailangan kayo,” she politely replied before walking her way downstairs. 

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga bago pinihit ang door knob pabukas. And there is only one thing inside my head. 

I’ll sleep until midnight so I can finish my homeworks.

I entered the room and roamed my eyes around. Napangiwi ako nang masyadong girly ang silid. Everything is in color peach and pink. Masakit sa mata. 

Napailing ako at naglakad patungo sa malaking kama na pinapalibutan ng peach na mosquito net. Wala pa akong panahon upang punahin ang paligid. Pagod ang katawan ko. I dropped myself into bed and closed my eyes. Mamaya na ako magbibihis. Bed is calling me. 

After a few minutes, darkness finally eats me. Ngunit agad rin akong naalimpungatan nang maramdaman kong may malambot na bagay ang dumampi sa labi ko. 

I badly want to open my eyes, but I’m still sleepy. Maybe this is just a dream. 

“Sleep and we’ll talk later.”

    "Senyorita Vielle, kakain na raw po.” Someone knocked on the door.Ibinaba ko ang hawak kong blower at nilingon ang nakasaradong pinto. “Susunod po ako.” “Sige po, Senyorita,” the maid responded and it was followed by footsteps. Napahugot ako ng malalim na hininga at muling tumingin sa salamin na nasa harap ko. I’m starting to have dark bags under my eyes. Siguro ito ang resulta ng mga puyat ko dahil sa mga projects. This is what kuya wants and I want to achieve it. Ayokong isipin niyang puro lang gala at pagpa-party ang alam ko. I want to prove him I am better. Kasi ‘yun ang gusto niya daw makita. Ganyan pala talaga kapag magtatapos kang suma-cum laude at bar top-nocher, lalaki ang ulo. That makes him so full of himself. Tinanggal ko sa saksakan ang blower at inilapag ito sa vanity dresser na kulay peach. Speaking of the color, I can’t help my self not to roll my eyes. My brother really thinks I’m girly.

    “Yuck!” “Did you saw her scars?” “It’s kadiri.” Napayuko ako habang naglalakad palapit sa cottage namin. I can’t help but to sob slightly while listening how they talk behind my back. What’s wrong with my scars? It’s not that I choose to have this as well. Napangiti ako nang makita ko si kuya Daze na busy sa pagtitipa ng kanyang telepono. Katabi nito ang bestfriend niyang si Hayden na nakasuot din ng swimsuit. Hindi ko maiwasang pasadahan ng tingin ang buo niyang katawan at piping humiling na sana ganyan din ako kakinis. “Kuya!” I called him. Nang lingunin ako nito ay malawak akong ngumiti. Sa lahat kasi, si kuya ang nagpaparamdam sa akin na perpekto ako sa kabila ng mga flaws ko.Sadness conquered me when I read the disgust stare along his cold eyes.. “What are you doing here, Diana? And why are you wearing that?” Nanubig ang mga mata ko sa narinig. “K-kuya—”“Andito na pala si Miss Peklat,” mapang-uyam na sabi ni Hyden na sinundan ng tawa ng iilan. “Hi.” I look at kuya. “K-k

    “I can explain naman, hubby, e.” She pouted, I grimaced. Hindi bagay.We’re inside kuya Daze’s study room. And yeah, I am being interrogated because I was the one who was caught in the act. Nakakainis. Mukhang paniwalang-paniwala pa naman si kuya sa fiancée niyang bulok.“Then explain, Taliah.” Malamig at malalim ang boses nito.I saw how she smirk at me and pouted towards my brother. “I was just talking to the kasambahay and she suddenly went inside the living room and dragged me with my hair. It hurts.”Napaingos ako sa paraan ng kanyang pananalita. So this is the feeling of hearing lies when you knew the truth. This girl is really getting into my nerves.“Is that true, Diana?” Kalmado ang boses ni kuya ngunit ang mga mata niya ay tinitignan ako na may pag-aakusa.I smirked. “Even if I say no, you’ll still side on your fiancée. So, yeah. Believe what you wanted to believe. I’m off.”Pabalda akong tumayo sa aking kinauupuan at naglakad palabas ng study room. I heard him called me but

    Nakatitig lamang ako sa kawalan habang hawak sa kamay ko ang printed IATA codes na kinakailangan kong memoryahin. I can't think straight, seriously. What happened last night still hunts me. 'Yung sadya kong pilitin siyang ipabalik ako ng Maynila ay naudlot sa kagaguhan niya kagabi.I mean, who would in the right mind will say those things, right? Kapatid niya ako, ngunit kung makahalik parang hindi. Is this some kind of joke? Like, seriously, I don't do incest! Kahit makasalanan akong tao, hindi ko lubos maisip na gagawa pa ako ng isang napakalaking kasalanan. Ugh! Damn it! Abala ako sa paghihilot ng aking sintido nang mapansin ko si Bina na balisa habang hawak ang tray na may lamang juice at iba pang pang-meryenda. Kaya dala ng kuryosidad, umalis ako sa hammock at nilapitan siya."What's wrong?" I asked her.Bumadha sa mukha nito ang pagkagulat. "S-senyorita Vielle! Kayo po pala.

    Tahimik lamang ako habang nakasunod sa kanya paakyat ng hagdan. Hindi ko maiwasang kabahan na baka ipa-grounded niya ako. He is the most irritating and sensitive person I know. Konting kembot lang, ginagawa na niyang big deal. Hindi na siguro akong magugulat kung sasabihin niyang 'you're grounded'. Oh hell, like I care. "Walk faster, Diana," he said. Doon ko lang din napansin na nasa hagdanan pa ako habang siya ay nakatayo na sa hamba ng nakabukas na pintuan ng kanyang kwarto. Doon kami mag-uusap? Weird. Hindi ko nalang pinansin ang mga weird kong iniisip. Sana hindi grounded. Okay na mapagalitan, basta 'wag na ma-grounded. I took a deep breath as I reached his direction. Doon na siya pumasok and I think that's a signal for me to enter, too. Kaya wala akong nagawa kundi ang sundan siyang pumasok ng kanyang kwarto. Dumiretso ako sa couch habang siya naman ang nagsarado ng pinto. I busied myself wandering my eyes around, looking for some entertaining things just to avoid the feelin

    Napaungot ako nang makarinig ako ng tatlong sunod-sunod na katok. Inis kong tinapon ang isang unan sa hindi ko alam na direksiyon, at sinagot ang walang hiyang nambubulabog ng tulog ko."Ano?!" Iritado kong sigaw. "S-senyorita Vielle, pasensiya na po. Ngunit pinapadali po kayo ni Senyorito sa hapagkainan. Magtatanghali na po," I heard Bina's voice answered. The memories three days ago assaulted my stupid head. I gritted my teeth in embarassement. I should forget about that! "Tell him I'm not in a good shape to come down. Hatiran mo nalang ako ng pagkain dito, Bina." After that dawn-incident, I did my best to avoid his way. Minsan na lang ako lumabas at nililibang ko ang sarili sa paggawa ng thesis at pagmememorya ng mga dapat kong memoryahin. I did every ways to keep myself busy. Ayoko siyang kausapin dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ma-absorb ng utak ko ang ginawa namin nang mga oras na 'yun. It's like we both lose our minds.

    Mabilis na nagdaan ang mga araw, and tonight’s christmas eve. Binati na kami nila mama at papa kanina dahil magiging busy sila pagsapit ng gabi sa kanila. Si kuya naman ay pumasok ng opisina dahil may pipirmahan siyang papeles para sa 13th month pay ng kanyang mga employees. Napahugot ako ng malalim na hininga nang mapagtanto kong ako lang mag-isa sa resthouse ngayon. Nasa palengke si Manang Bebang at Bina samantalang si Manong Jose ay kasama ni kuya. I groaned to myself when I realized I have nowhere else to go but to my room, or to the beach. Magdadapit-hapon na rin ngunit wala pa ni-isa sa kanila ang umuwi. Tumungo ako sa living room bitbit ang isang box ng pizza mula sa kusina at umupo sa sofa. Kinuha ko ang tatlong throw pillow at ginawa itong sandalan. Kumuha pa ako ng isa upang daganan ng isang binti ko. I reached for the remote control and turned on the television. Komportable akong humiga patagilid sa sofa habang kumakain ng pizza.

    "Fuck, Daze!" I yelp when his warm hand palmed my clothed mound. He chuckled. "That's it, moan my name." Wala sa sarili akong napakapit sa braso niyang nakatukod sa magkabilang gilid ko. My body bent backwards and my legs parted out of control to give his hand a full access on my center part.He lowered his head in my neck, planting soft kisses on it. Tumikhim ako upang pigilan ang ungol na kakawala sa bibig ko. "T-this is wrong..."Natigilan ito. He look at me with his eyes partly hodded. "This is the only christmas gift I want to give." Inalis niya ang kamay niyang hawak ako at dinala ito sa bewang ko. His lips touched mine and partly bit my lower lip. "Y-you're drunk," I whispered. He stopped kissing my neck and I thought he would listen to me. Napasinghap ako nang kasabay ng pagbangon niya ay ang paghila niya sa dalawang binti ko hanggang sa ramdam kong nasa dulong bahagi ng kama ang pwetan ko.

    Sumapit ang araw ng Family day ni Jarren at katulad ng sinabi ko, magkakaroon kami ng family bonding. He's afraid to lose all his gadgets kaya pumayag. I also told Daze to cancel all his appointment today. "I already booked a ticket in Manila Ocean Park," bungad na wika ni Daze nang makapasok sa aming silid. Tipid ko itong nginitian at muling nagpatuloy sa pagsusuklay. Naglakad ito patungo sa 'king likuran. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my shoulder blades. I keep combing my hair while he's busy kissing my shoulder blade from behind."Don't you think your dress is too revealing?" he whispered. Unti-unting umaangat ang labi nito sa 'king leeg. Napadaing ako at bahagya siyang siniko. "No kiss marks, Love. May lakad tayo ngayon." "Nilagyan mo ako ng kiss mark kagabi.

    “Turn around,” he whispered with his hoarse voice. Napalunok ako at agad na sisunod ang kaniyang utos. The shower's still running but it didn't help me decrease the heat I am feeling. Napapikit ako nang tampalin niya ang aking pang-upo at walang babalang umulos sa 'king loob. I flattened my palm against the blurry glass wall of the shower area. He lifted my left leg as he bury himself deep. Dumikit ang aking pisngi sa glass wall at mahinang humalinghing. Ayokong magising si Jarren dahil lang sa 'king pag-ungol. “Oh, God…Daze…” “I love you so much, Love. Fuck!” Napapikit ako nang mariin nang magsimula na siyang gumalaw. Nakakakiliti ito kaya't hindi ko maiwasang mapaungol nang mahina. I felt him reached for my hair and gripped it tightly. He pushed my back lower and made his pace faster than a while ago. “Oh!” Tumirik ang aking mga mata nang sinasagad niya ang kaniyang kauohan sa 'kin. “Keep it that deep—oh god… Daze!” Gusto kong umungol nang malakas ngunit natatakot akong magis

He rolled his eyes and blow his cake. “Mommy, I told you I just want a credit card.” Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at magsasalita na sana nang may iabot si Daze na flat retangular shape na nakabalot sa isang gift wrapper. “Happy birthday, Jarren.” Mabilis na tinanggap ng bata ang inabot ng kanyang ama at binalatan ito. My eyes widen even more after seeing his gift. “Thank you, daddy! You're the best!” he beamed at his father.Bumaling ako kay Daze at sinamaan siya ng tingin. “Daze! You're spoiling him! Hindi pa siya pwedeng humawak ng credit card. For suck's sake, he's just seven!” Ngumiti lang ito at yumuko para halikan ako. “Let him, baby. He's a Martinez after all.” “Kuripot ka, mommy.” Jarren stuck his tongue out at me and ran to my father's direction. Akmang hahabulin ko ito para sana pingutin nang hapitin ni Daze ang bewang ko at siniksik ang mukha sa leeg ko. “Daze, you're spoiling him too much. Baka masanay 'y

    I was busy cleaning his wounds when someone entered the room. Nilingon ko ito at bahagyang nabigla nang si papa ang bumungad sa paningin ko."I want to talk to him alone, Vielle. Leave us for a moment," he said.Pilit akong tumango dito at ngumiti. Muli akong bumaling kay Daze at pinahawakan sa kanya ang cold compress na dinadampi ko sa kanyang labi at pisngi. I gave him a tight smile before standing up and leaving them both inside the room.Nang makalabas ako ng silid ay sinalubong agad ako ni Jarren. Yumuko ako upang kargahin siya.

"He's fine now.""Mommy," Jarren called me. "Are we gonna live in the same house now? Papi accepted him, right?"Ngumiti ako dito ng pilit. Hindi rin ako sigurado.

    “What gift do you want to receive on your birthday?” she asked innocently. I hummed and caressed her tummy. I want a baby, Diana. “Just you.” Daze, I'm sorry if I have to do this. The truth is... It was all lies. I'm in love with someone and we'll be having a baby soon. I loved him so much. My relationship with you will take me to nowhere but hell. I'm sorry, Daze.
