2022-03-12 22:51:26SA ATIN…” maingat at mabagal na saad ko. “Did something happen… between us… last night?”
Silence. Silence lingered with her thin brows involuntarily flickering. The way she stared at me said that something bothering was taking her so long to answer. Ngunit hindi ko ininda iyon. My eyes didn’t leave her sight. The two black stones sank into her shallowest thoughts, searching for that one piece that would halt me from further questioning.
“Shanta-”
“Wala,” mabilis na tugon niya. “Walang nangyari sa atin kagabi.”
“Is that it?” I eyed her.
“Hmm.” Tumango siya. Her back straightened and her gaze focused somewhere. “Walang nangyari… Hindi ako ang naghat

TWO DAYS had passed and I still had no contact with Shanta. She's been ignoring since the day before yesterday, iyong araw na dinalhan niya ako ng lugaw. At kung kailan naging iba't ibang klase ng tao siya. I just knew she's still mad at me. Kasi halata naman sa mga ginagawa niya. I had flooded her messages, saying that I was sorry for the night I was drunk. At kung ano man ang sinabi ko, kalimutan niya na kung iyon ang kanyang gusto. But all of it had gone down the drain. She still hadn't replied to my messages. At para ko nang kinakausap ang sarili ko. Nagmumukha na akong tanga. At malaman ko lang na nabasa niya ang mga mensahe ko, naiiyak ako sa kahihiyan. Maybe, that gorgeous girl was constantly laughing at me. It was in Messenger that I sent all of those messages.

SAAN KAYO GALING?” Ang bungad ni Katlego noong makarating kami ni Lachlan sa canteen. “Kanina pa namin kayo hinihintay. Tumae lang ako saglit tapos wala na ‘tong gagong ‘to. Hoy, where ya been?” Lahat sila ay nakaupo na sa palibot ng mesa. Katlego sat beside Jirario. Both of their eyes were suspicious as it shifted back and forth between me and Lachlan. Alam ko na ang nasa isip nila. Their smirk failed to hide it. Meanwhile, I could feel Shanta’s gaze on me. She’s seated beside Clavis who was also questioning our whereabouts. Hanggang pakiramdam na lang ako sa kanya dahil hindi ko siya magawang tingnan. Maging sulyap ay wala akong lakas ng loob. I was still embarrassed by my behavior. I didn’t want her to think that I was completely pursuing her. Dahil wala pang kasiguraduhan iyon.

HEY, OLIVIA. Are you free tonight?” Unang bungad ko sa kabilang linya noong makapasok ako sa kotse. “I… I think I need your help.”“Why? Did something happen?” takhang tanong niya.Napapikit ako nang mariin. I didn’t want to sound like a loser. I didn’t want her to think that I was defenseless and desperate. Dahil ang totoo niyan, malaki na talaga ang problemang ginawa ko. At kasalanan ko iyon dahil nakipag-away pa ako kay Shanta. I even involved another person.“It’s about… Shanta and you know who…” I said while massaging my temples. Alam kong masama ang gumamit ng tao, pero susubukan ko namang maging klaro sa kanya. “If it's okay with you, can you come later tonight? It’s… u

HINDI KO na mabilang kung ilang beses na akong umirap nang palihim habang pinapanood sila sa kanilang ginagawa. Never in a second did Shanta stop smiling while flaunting her lustrous neck at the man she’s seated with. Gumagalaw-galaw pa nang pasimple ang magandang balikat niya habang sinisipat iyon nang mabuti ni Grayson. Alam ko ang lahat ng ito dahil kakaiba ang kakayahan ng mga mata ko. My vision was as excellent as the eyesight of a red-tailed hawk. Walang maliit na galaw ang nakakawala sa paningin ko. Every detail was zoomed in my eyes, like how he tucked in her short hair even when it was already parted at the other side of her shoulder. Duling ba siya? Partida, ako na ang nasa malayo at siya ang pinakamalapit. Imposibleng hindi niya napapansin. Ako pa talaga ang nakakakitang wala namang mali sa leeg ni Shanta.

PAANO NA LANG kung 'di kita nasalo?" I smirked and pulled ourselves up. "E'di sa maling tao ka ulit babagsak.""Bitaw," babala niya.This was a freestyle party, but our positions didn't say so. We were like performing a ballroom dance. Nakakrus ang mga braso ni Shanta habang yakap-yakap ng mga daliri ko ang malambot na kamay niya. And as I hugged her body from the back, her eyes were slowly salvaging me with her murderous death glare.I pursed my lips to contain my laughter because what I said was a joke and it was really funny. Pero hindi ganoon ang kinalabasan niyon dahil nakasibangot pa rin siya noong sinilip ko ang mukha niya.I snorted silently because she was supposed to be edgy and sophisticated tonight

I AM NOT with someone else, Kagan..." She repeated with full confidence and heart. "Grayson is not my boyfriend if that's what you think." "Shanta…" bulong ko habang ang mga mata ko ay kumukurap-kurap. "I… I… How did you know? I mean, what are you trying to say?" "Tangina naman, Kagan, oo…" She scoffed and breathed heavily. "Alam ko na. Tama na. Ako ang gusto mo. At nanghihinayang ka kasi akala mong may mahal na akong iba. Kaya heto ako…" She grinned complacently. "Sinasabi ko na sa iyong wala akong iba. Pwede mo na akong mahalin ulit." "Shanta…" was all I could say. I stood frozen because she knew too well who I was talking about. And she was right. It's her that I'm i

I LIKE YOU, SHANTA…” I whispered. “I like you so, so much.” “Talaga?” saad niya habang hindi mawala ang ngiti sa labi. I reached out for her hand. “The night I was willing to sacrifice my life for you was the same night I knew that this wasn’t just a feeling. It felt like I was gonna lose you, but no. My love for you won’t allow it. And no, I like you more than that because…” I smiled. “I have loved you all along and I’d be so weak to even deny it. But because of your recognition, it gave me courage. And I want to let you know again and again that I, Kagan Lombardi, am in love with you, Shanta Ferrucci. So much you can never imagine.” “Talagang-talaga?” Her eyes sparkled.

WHERE ARE YOU? I'm already here…" I said over the phone as I parked my car in front of Shanta's mansion. "Make haste. I want to see you. I miss you already." Nagising talaga ako para magkasabay kaming pumasok ngayon. This was our first day as MUs, and I wanted to make it simple and special by picking her up and driving her home. "Pababa na ako. Malapint na talaga. Promise," tugon ni Shanta, ang boses ay may bakas ng pagkataranta. Just the sound of her voice was like the birds chirping on the trees outside my balcony. It was the only sound I wanted to hear every morning. Although her voice was a bit deep for a woman, it came out as runs and riffs to my ears. It was very calming. "Where's my 'Miss you, t

BADTRIP. Nababadtrip ako kay Avancea. Bakit hindi na lang siya lumayas sa mamanahin kong mansyon? Bakit kailangan pa niyang makipag siksikan sa pamilya namin? Bakit napaka s****p niya simula bata pa kami? Our family would have been better, stronger, if she and her leech mother Amadena hadn’t appeared in our life. Pero may magagawa ba ako sa desisyon ng Papa ko? Meron. But, bullshit, not on this matter. He won’t let me, her genius daughter, dictate his heart. Not even Kuya Dallas who’s vocally against it but is silent when the two leeches are present. Wala rin naman kaming maaasahan kay Mama kasi iniwan niya kami kay Papa at sumama sa lalaki niya. To make matters worse, nagkaroon pa sila ng anak. But all of my mother’s desires faded when she lost everything she fought for. One, her partner who I never met. Second, her son, my step brother. And third, kami ng orihinal na pamilya niya. But serious matters aside, bwisit na bwisit na ako kay Avancea. Sinumbong niya ako tungkol sa pambubu

WHAT’S THAT?” I asked Shanta the moment she entered our bedroom with a book in her hand. Nilapitan ko siya at hinawakan ang bewang niya saka hinalikan siya sa balikat. “Saan pumunta ang Baby Love ko? Hmm?” “Hulaan mo…” biro niya saka kumapit sa bewang ko bago nangunang naglakad. I grinned, then walked with her with my right arm clinging onto her shoulder. Sinilip ko ang librong hinahawakan niya at naintriga ako. “You don’t recognize this, do you?” tanong niya. “Where did you find that?” Shanta looked up at me. “It doesn’t matter. I found it and I fixed everything back.” Binalik niya ang tingin sa libro… o ang manuskritong sinulat ko… at naupo sa dulo ng kama. I also sat beside her with my eyes pinned on her glowing face. “I have been curious about this lately, alam mo ba ‘yon…” kwento niya at sinimulang buklatin ang libro. “Punit-punit ‘to noong nahanap ko kaya nagpabili ako kay Benida ng scotch tape. She helped me put back every page.” Then, she looked at me teasingly. “Ako p

I SMILED at the guests who greeted me and Shanta as we walked on the red carpeted aisle. Hindi ganoon karami ang mga bisita. Nabibilang lang sa mga daliri ang mga tao sa mesa. I recognized almost all of them. Masaya ako at dinaluhan nila kami para sa gabing ito.Shanta and the Six Packs, which included me, sat down at a very special seat near the mini stage. Pabilog ang mesa at pitong upuan ang naroon para sa isa sa amin. Naunang umupo ang mga kaibigan ko. Lachlan and Katlego sat beside each other. Ganoon din si Euart at Jirario. Clavis, however, chose to sit next to her cousin. Samantala ako, pinagitnaan nina Shanta at Jirario. I pulled my Baby’s golden chair before she took her seat. “Musta ka na?” tanong ko kay Jira nang hayaan ko si Shanta na kausapin ang pinsan niya. I smiled at my cousin when I looked at him. It’s been a long time and we have been very busy with our own lives, so it’s nice if we catch up. “Kumusta ka naman at ng inaanak ko? Damn… I can’t believe you’re a family

ISANG BUWAN na ang nakalipas at unti-unti nang humuhupa ang kaguluhan sa Manila. Tito Kadam is already jailed in the New Bilibid Prison while his case is set for an appeal by his lawyers. While Coolidge Mental Care remained a crime scene, the patients were transferred to a safer and better facility. They will be sent back once the investigation is done and once the mental care has found its new owner. Sa ngayon, we’re trying to fix all the casualties, lalo na sa pagpapagamot ng mga pasyente. After all, Shanta and I both experienced a life inside the mental hospital. Nais naming tumulong. “Sir, Ma’am, nandyan na po ang mga bisita,” pagpapaalam ng kasambahay noong pumasok ito sa kwarto ko. “Susunod na kami. Thank you,” I said. And after telling me some more notice, the househelp left the room. Naiwan kami ni Shanta sa harap ng salamin habang inaayos niya ang necktie ko. Two days ago, we left Bohol for our business here in the Metro. Naisip naming ligtas nang tumira sa bahay ko… na

I DON’T KNOW when was the last time that I was energized to wake up. I remembered waking up with a huge weight in my head and I felt so exhausted at the start of the day, that ending it would mean fatigue for a week. But while my eyes remain closed, my mind is already awake. And I could feel Shanta’s small body still embracing me. Napangiti ako. Dahil diyan, bahagyang isinubsob ko ang aking ilong sa buhok niya. Walang pagbabago. Her hair’s scent is still the same lavender with fresh milk. I sniffed like drugs and kissed her forehead and tightened my embrace because I am never gonna lose her again. This moment could’ve happened two years ago if the incident didn’t happen. We could’ve been living on one roof with our two kids that are one-year-old apart, and we’re still making the third one. But even though we’re two years late, this… the night that I woke up beside her is what matters most. This will keep me from waking up and start my day blissfully. Aaraw-arawin ko ito, and the d

THE NEXT DAY, Shanta and I traveled back to Panglao Island, Bohol to stay in her mansion for the meantime while things subside. Hindi sana doon. It could have been my house, but almost everyone knows about it, so definitely, the place is not safe for us. We decided to take a break after the national newscast reported across the country. It was stressful and… chaotic. Ilang media na rin ang sumubok na kuhanan kami ng panayam, but Shanta, although ready to speak up, is not allowed to give herself another stress. I didn’t permit it because she needed rest after trespassing in Kachina's house. Makita-kita ko pang may benda siya sa noo kaya mas lalong hindi ako pumayag. She got it from her cousin who broke a vase on her head. And even though I wanted to make that woman pay, I didn’t want reporters to exploit my Baby’s condition and people to make a feast out of it. Kahit na kami ang nasa tama at ang biktima, hindi ko ginawa. The right people would see it, especially the court. And I wou

I GRINNED AT my reflection in the mirror surface. Our plan is working and just a little more time, this chaos they started would end. I then reached for the clean towel beside my laundry, then wiped my face. This is the only place where I can be myself besides being in Shanta’s arms. No nurse to watch over my every move. No Kachina to observe me and ask leading questions. Just me and myself, staring at each other. After I wiped my face, I spent my fifteen minutes taking a bath. Hindi man ako komportable sa klase ng banyo na meron sila dito, sinubukan kong hindi madiri. Well, I have lived an ordinary life before with a small toilet and a hand pump. I’d be immune to this, I guess. Pero sana… sana hindi magtagal ang pamamalagi ko dito. I can’t take the owner of this place. Pagkatapos kong maligo, I changed into a more comfy clothing. I didn’t wear my usual asylum gown. I don’t need it anyway because I am done with my mission. This is the day I am finally leaving this hell. Besides, nas

KAGE, DELIKADO ‘yang plano mo…” pagtutol ni Shanta. Nakaupo siya sa kabisera ng lamesa ng kanyang opisina sa mansion. “I’m not liking it. Masyadong mapanganib at… nagmumukha tayong mas masama kaysa sa kanila. Ayaw ko ng ganoon. We’re stooping down to their level… and as you said, violence should never be a choice. So, this one… It’s a no for me.” I bit my lower lip because she has a point. Well, it’s obvious that my ultimate plan is too risky… and brutal. Katabi ni Shanta si Benida, na nakaupo sa kanyang kanan. They were both looking at me with a hint of hesitation in their faces. Bahagya akong nakaramdam ng pagkapahiya. Shanta is right. We’re no different from the people who attempted to kill us. Tulad ni Tito Kadam, I am resorting to violence to get what I want. But this is the only way we could penetrate the Coolidge Mental Care. Kung totoo man, naroon ang mga karagdagang ebidensya para magiit ang tatay ni Kachina. Dahil hindi lang niya kami tinangkang patayin, he was even the ma

Kagan’s POV AYAN, KAGAN…” The psychiatric nurse said in utter softness after I obediently drank the medicine she prepared for me. “You are doing well these days and Doc Kachina must be so proud of you. Let’s just wait for her, okay? It’s past ten and she’s not yet here. But don’t worry. Papasok iyon.” I nodded and grinned just a little bit to make her believe Kachina is my calming pill, even when I don’t care whether she comes to work today or not. I then looked away and stared at the barred window the mental care had just built for me. Kung alam lang ng nars, I lost interest in her doctor the night she’s involved in ruining my life. Makalipas ng ilang sandali, narinig ko ang nars sa gilid ko, nagpapaalam para sa susunod na pasyente niya. I didn’t respond or what, then the door creaked open. Mabilis akong tumingin sa kanya, at nang makitang hindi siya nakalingon, I swiftly barfed the medicine I didn’t swallow and the bitter thing fell on my palm. I clenched my fist as soon as I fel
