HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 17 (HER DANGEROUS SIDE)
Wanda's eyes fluttered open, her mind foggy as she struggled to process the chaos that had just erupted. Wala na ang mga unggoy sa paligid.She was met with a sight of utter devastation - her clothes now hung in tattered shreds, her arms and legs a mess of scratches and bites. The monkeys, those mischievous creatures, had left her looking like she'd been put through a blender. They had pulled her hair, bit her arms, and scratched her skin...it was as if she had been initiated into some sort of twisted monkey cult, forced to endure their brutal hazing ritual. Baka nga...If so...then she's a part of a monkey cult now? Natawa si Wanda sa kabila ng humahapdi niyang kalmot sa mga binti at braso. Tumayo siya para lang mapangiwi nang maramdamang sumasakit ang buo niyang katawan.Lesson learned, don't get in the way of monkey business, literally. This serves as a reminder of the unpredictable dangers that lurked in the jungle. Had she stayed at the camp site as she was told, none of these w
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 18 (CROSSING THE LINE)
Nilinga ni Mark si Marlyn sa sarili nitong higaan na kanina pa nagpaalam na mauna nang magpahinga. She seemed to have totally surrendered to her fatigue at mukha namang tulog na tulog na. Iyon ang hinihintay niyang pagkakataon, ang makapagsolo at makausap nang masinsinan si Wanda. He wanted to have carity about what happened between them. Tumikhim siya at atubiling umisod palapit sa dalaga. "About this morning..." Umpisa niya. "I don't want to talk about it." Agad na sagot ng dalaga biglang namula ang mukha."Why not?" He needed to know what she was thinking dahil ang totoo, pakiramdam niya ay may pananagutan siya sa nangyari."Because..." She was tensed, dahil napansin ni Mark na nilalaro-laro nito sa kamay ang lata ng iniinum na beer. "Because...?""I don't want to complicate things by crossing the line we shouldn't be crossing." "Uhhuh..." Tumango si Mark. Not convinced with Wanda's answer lalo at ito ang nagpakita ng motibo kaya niya ito nagawang hawakan at muntik nang pak
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 19 (GETTING TO KNOW HER)
Wala si Marlyn na higaan nito. Iyon ang unang napansin ni Mark pagmulat niya ng mata. He winced as he rose from his makeshift bed, his body still adjusting to the harsh conditions and all the hard work they did yesterday. Accustomed to the comfort of a soft mattress, he can't believe how he managed to sleep on a bed of leaves and twigs for days, habang pinagpipiyestahan ng lamok. He scratched his skin instinctively habang gumagala ang paningin sa kabuoan ng open hut na pinagtulungan nilang gawin ng dalawang dalaga. Nadako ang paningin niya sa gawi ni Wanda. She's still sleeping. Nakatalikod sa gawi niya. Napangisi siya sa sarili at napailing. Nasapo ang panga kung saan tumama ang kamao ni Wanda kagabi gawa ng pang-aasar niya rito. Hindi man lang siya nakaiwas. Maayos naman silang naghiwalay kagabi at nagawa pa nga nilang tumawa ni Wanda nang pareho silang makabawi sa nangyari. But that served him a warning, to always pick a line to cross with Wanda. Mahirap na. Baka sa susunod a
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 1 (TUKSO)
"I'd like to propose a toast for Cleo and Mark. Here's to joyful years ahead. You may grow old together." Somewhere along the dinner, Logan announced in a drastic gesture. Arogante nitong itinaas ang baso. Mejo lasing na ang lalaki. "Masaya kaming makita kayong magkasamang muli. Sana ay wala nang mangyayaring hiwalayan pa." Patuloy nito. Nakangiti pa rin ngunit parang may nahihimigan si Mark na sarkasmo sa binitiwan nitong salita. And a hint of jealousy, too. Nagkatawanan ang grupo na magkakaharap sa outdoor dinning, except for Mark. And his girlfriend Cleo who seemed to be very, very offended. At bago naupo si Logan ay nahuli niya ang makahulugang sulyap nito kay Cleo. To everyone's shock, Cleo sprang from her seat angrily. "Thank you Logan! And you can go to hell!" Bulyaw nito. She strutted to the guest house. Naiwang tigagal ang lahat. Maliban kay Logan na patakbong humabol kay Cleo. "Wait...Cleo, it was a joke. Ano ka ba." Anito. Pinanuod niya ang dalawa na parang magkasint
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 2 (IRREVERSIBLE MISTAKE)
"Sandali..." Natatawang awat ni Mark kay Sandi. Hindi pa man sila tuluyang nakakapasok sa motel room ay niyakap na agad siya ng babae at siniil ng halik. Sa halip na magpaawat, tumawa ito at lalong naging agresibo. Agad siya nitong hinila sa kama pagkalapat na pagkalapat ng pinto. Pareho na silang darang na darang sa puntong iyon at bawat galaw nila ay may pagmamadali.She pushed him to the bed and hopped in. Then she straddled him. Ibinaba nito ang mukha sa leeg niya, hinagkan siya doon at sa punong tainga. Napasinghap si Mark sa kiliting dulot niyon. Niyakap niya ito at gumanti ng halik sa leeg, sa punong tainga, sa panga hanggang sa magtagpo ang kanilang mga labi. She kissed him hungrily. He kissed her back. Hinaltak niya ang strap ng bestida nito hanggang malantad ang malulusog nitong dibdib. Pinisil niya ang mga iyon, sinalat-salat ang nipples bago isinubo at nilaro iyon ng dila. Napaungol si Sandi. Napaliyad. Napayakap ng mahigpit sa kanya. He caress the length of her t
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 3 (THE PROPOSAL)
TWO YEARS LATER"This way to Dune Oasis," sinundan ni Mark kung saan nakaturo ang arrow sa signboard. Pakanan, palayo sa sea route.Napangiti si Mark. Kaya pala dito napiling magbakasyon ni Cleo. The drive itself is fulfilling enough. So full of nature. Oo nga at mainit, hindi niya iyon masyadong ramdam dahil sa nagtatayugang palm tress sa gilid ng kalasada. This is the kind of place he considers paradise. Tahimik. Malayo sa maingay na siyudad. Perfect for the biggest surprise he had for Cleo. Kinapa niya ang kaheta sa bulsa ng katabing back pack. He is going to pop the question tonight. Kabado man, he is still optimistic. Because what could possibly go wrong? Apat na taon na niyang kasintahan si Cleo. Ito na ang tamang panahon para lumagay sila sa tahimik. Sana lang ay hindi siya mapapahiya. Sana lang...Two minutes and he arrived at Dune Oasis Luxury Villa, set behind an automatic wide gate na kusang bumukas nang matapat siya roon. Lumabas ang may katandaang lalaki. Maitim, halata
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 4 (CONTRACT WITH DESTINY)
Mark have no idea where to go. Basta nagmaneho siya palabas ng villa, following the dirty road to his right. He just wanted to be away. To be alone. Kailangan niyang mag-isip.Itinabi niya ang sasakyan sa gilid nang makasigurong nakalayo na siya sa villa at walang nakasunod sa kanya. Sumandal siya sa upuan matapos patayin ang makina ng sasakyan. He sat there staring at the darkness ahead of him. For some reason, he felt like an empty can all of a sudden. Gustuhin man niyang umiyak, wala na siyang iluluha. Gustuhin man niyang sumigaw at ibunton sa manibela ang galit, wala na siyang lakas. He desperately need to feel...to cry, to laugh, whatever emotion that might be. Basta may maramdaman man lang siya. Pero wala. Hindi niya namalayan kung gaano siya katagal na nakatulala habang nag-iisip kung paano niya sasabihin sa pamilya na wala na sila ni Cleo. At ang dahilan ng paghihiwalay nila ay hindi katanggap-tanggap sa lipunang kinabibilangan niya. Because who cheats on Mark Anthonio?
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 5 (DOUBLE DECEPTION)
Hindi na namalayan ni Mark ang paglipas ng oras. Masaya pala kasing kausap itong si Marlyn. She's smart and full of clever humor. He actually find everything that comes out of her mouth very engaging. And at some point, naisip niyang isa yata itong psychiatrist. Minsan din, akala mo pastor preaching the phases of earthly existence and the life after that. Ilang ulit silang nagdebate. Hanggang lumalim nang lumalim at gabi at maramdaman niyang tumatalab na sa sistema niya ang alak. Doon na pumasok sa usapan ang intimacy issue, emotional distress at detachment. At sa pagtataka niya ay bigla na lang itong tumayo. "Come here." Anito. Kinuha nito ang kamay niya at iginiya siyang tumayo. Nagpahinuhod si Mark. "Let's dance." She smiled. Lalong nanlamlam ang mga mata. "Without music?" Pagtataka niya. Gayun pa man ay niyakap niya ito sa baewang dahil sumuray ito. She leaned her head on his chest. "They said that if you are lonely and detached, dancing without music will help you find the

HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 16 (MONKEY BUSINESS)
Namamaos na si Wanda dahil kanina pa niya inaamo ang unggoy. Ayaw nitong bumaba. Everytime Wanda attempts to climbed up--naked--the monkey would climb higher, leaving her no other choice but to stay on the ground and talk to it like it was a child. She felt so exposed kahit walang ibang tao sa paligid. Pikon na siya at gigil na sa hayop. She picked up some rocks...bahala na. Ayaw niyang manakit but it is giving her no choice."Give me back my clothes, you little thief or I'll hit you." She threatened the animal. Pero parang wala iyong narinig. Para pa nga itong nang-iinis at inamoy ang..."Hoy! Putang inang ito!" Nanghihilakbot niyang pinukol iyon ng bato.Alam niyang walang malisya iyon sa unggoy but she felt violated. Sa puntong iyon ay gusto na niyang sakalin iyon. Why of all things, iyon pa talaga!The monkey seemed to...Grimace...? Then it threw her panty like it was some kind of junk. Tumikwas ang kilay ni Wanda. Marunong mang-insulto ang unggoy. It was important at tha
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 15 (THE GAME THEY PLAY)
Ang problema ngayon ni Wanda ay kung paano harapin si Mark pagkatapos ng nangyari. Hiynag-hiya siya sa sarili at sa binata. Baka iniinisip na nitong isa siyang ababeng kaladkarin. Well...masisisi ba niya ito kung iyon ang iniisip nito? She made the first move. She provoked him. Totoo ngang ang pagsisisi ay laging nasa huli. Had she put a thought on her actions first, wala sanang ganitong problema ngayon. Should she go to the camp site and talk to Mark o magpalipas muna ng sandali sa kagubatan?Tumingala siya sa maaliwalas na kalangitan. Sa kakahuyan ay dinig niya ang tila nag-aanyayang huni ng mga ibon mula doon.She suddenly felt the urge to explore the jungle. A hike may help clear her mind. Pero kabilinbilinan ni Marlyn na huwag na huwag siyang aalis. Huwag lumayo sa camp site. Oh! Fuck that. She doesn't see Marlyn anywhere. Mapipigilan pa ba siya nito kung nakaalis na siya bago pa man ito bumalik? Nagmamadali siyang pumunta sa yate at nagbihis--fitted jeans at itim na long s
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 14 (NIGHTMARE)
"MORNING." Nakangiting bati sa kanya ni Wanda na nagisnan niyang nagsisiga. Wala si Marlyn. Hula niya ay nasa gubat o kung saan man ito at mag-isa na namang naghahanap ng makakain. Inis siyang bumangon. Masyadong ipinapamukha ng dalawang ito ang kawalan niya ng silbi. Nilampasan lang niya si Wanda at hindi nag-aksaya kahit sandali na tapunan ito ng tingin. He went straight to pick up Marlyn's fishing rod. "Mangingisda ka?" Nakasunod na tanong ng dalaga."None of your business." He headed to the vegetation to his right. "Water is that way, Sir." Tila nag-inis na sabi ni Wanda. "Walang fish sa kakahuyan." Dugtong pa nito. Biglang buwelta siya rito dala nang matinding ngitngit. Balak sana niyang duruin ito at murahin pero walang lumabas na salita sa bibig niya kaya naihilamus na lang niya ang palad sa mukha. "Bakit ba ang init ng ulo mo? Para kang babae na may regla. Hindi maunawaan. One minute, you're okay. The next, you're angry.""Leave me alone. I'm not stupid so stop treatin
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 13 (THE OSTRICH)
Bart sat in his living room, staring at his phone. Relief was evident in his face. Katatanggap lang niya ng mensahe mula kay Marlyn. The three made it through the storm. They're alive. Wasak ang yate, wala na raw pag-asang makakalayag pang muli ngunit, buhay sila! Iyon ang mahalaga. Gusto niyang tumawag sa coast guard. Ipaalam ang kalagayan ng tatlo nang makapagpadala sila ng tulong sa lalong madaling panahon...ngunit, ang bilin ni Marlyn, ipagpaliban muna iyon. Bigyan lang niya ang mga ito ng pagkakataong makasalamuha si Mark, makuha ang loob nito. She was asking for one week.Marlyn promised they're going to be okay. Wanda is going to be okay. But one week is too long. There would be news, casualties...may mawawala, may maghahanap.Can he shut his mouth that long? It would be easier if they were only on a cruise. Kaso...hindi. Isa pang problema, bigating tao pala itong si Mark Anthonio. According to what he heard from Cleopatra Welsh and her friends, isang business tycoon pala
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 12 (POTENTIAL LOVE)
Mabigat ang loob ang pinalibot ni Marlyn ang paningin sa kabuoan ng flybridge. Warak ang helm station ng yate, malinaw na doon ang binagsakan ng mainsail nang mabuwal iyon. Binaha na rin iyon ng tubig ulan dahil sa pagkakabasag ng fiber glass na nagsisilbing bubong nito. The radio, the engine and everything at the helm station had been submerged in the water. Wala nang pakinabang!The vessel is in total knockdown.Ngayon, paano na sila makakaalis sa islang ito? Ni hindi nila alam kung nasaan sila. This island was off their usual course kaya hindi niya alam kung nasa coastal territory pa ba sila ng Pilipinas o kaya ay nakalayo na. She sigh. She wanted to believe that these all happened for a reason. Dahil sa kabila nang lahat, they all came out alive. Hindi yun coincidence lang. Diyos ko, ano ba itong napasok niya...nila ni Wanda? Parusa kaya ito sa masamang balak nila ni Tiyong Bart kay Mark? No. She shook her head.Mark is a stranger to them. Walang mawawala sa kanila ni Bart kun
HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER CHAPTER 11 (THE JEALOUS SISTER)
"This way." Nagpatiuna na si Mark sa pag-akyat dahil naaasiwa siya sa dalawang kasama na nagkanya-kanyang bitbit sa mga hinubad na damit. Medyo masukal ang dadaanan nila. And he might just have forgotten to warn them about it. Kaya naman sa gitna ng daan ay nagpahintay ang dalawa at napilitang magdamit muli. Halos kalahating oras na inakyat nila ang burol dahil kung anu-ano ang nakikita ng dalawa na puwede raw ipunin at kakainin...red and purple berries na bago sa paningin niya."Are you sure those are edible?" Puna niya kay Marlyn dahil ito ang malapit sa kanya. "I know nothing about berries but the fact that those birds are eating it...my common sense tells me, yes, they're edible." Pasupladang sagot ni Marlyn bago siya tinalikuran para ipagpatuloy ang pamimitas sa prutas. Galit? Pero bakit?Napilitan na siyang namulot sa mga naglalaglagang bunga ng niyog sa dinaraanan niya. By the time they reach the rock chamber, natuyo na sa mga katawan nila ang basang mga damit at may tig d
