2022-03-22 13:33:59AS SHANTA AND I treaded the hallway, we kept catching attention. Ang mga ulo ay lumilingon sa amin sa tuwing kami ay mapaparaan. This was not about rumors or some stains on our faces, but because my dearest Shanta was clinging onto my arm the whole time we were in for a confusion.
Masyadong ginalingan ng Baby Love ko at kapit na kapit siya sa braso ko. And while we were in that sweet yet awkward-to-the-eyes-of-others position, we were laughing hard at their confused faces. It was the kind of laugh that’s insulting yet fun. And all credits would go to the cruel mind of the woman I love. Siya ang nag-isip niyon. Nakikinig lang ako.
“You’re really crazy, that’s why I love you…” I whispered in her ears as we got out of the crowd. “Have you seen their faces? You’re such an actress…&r

GRABE! NAKITA mo 'yung mga mukha nila? Laptrip! Sobra!" Shanta was laughing so hard that her hands were constantly hitting my arms. By the time she would stop, she would hold her stomach due to pain, but wouldn’t refrain herself from guffawing with her super reddish face and teary eyes. "Gagi, ayukuna! Bwahahaha! Ang pangit ni Clyde!" "Oh. Hold on." Nagpipigil ang tawa ko. "If your cousin is ugly, then what do you call mine? Mukha curious na aso!" "Bwahahaha! Kakaibang aso pala ‘yong bayaw ko, eh!" malakas na sabi niya habang maingay sa pasilyo. "Parang police dog, gago! Ang lakas ng pang-amoy! Ang bilis niya tayong nahalata! Pansin mo 'yon?" "Oo naman! Like your cousin! Amoy aso nga lang" I pointed out and she laughed more. "But you know what. I feel like he saw you a

WHAT ARE WE FINDING?" Tinanaw ng paningin ko si Shanta mula sa malayo habang pareho kaming naghahanap ng libro sa bookshelf. "I have been scanning this section. Hindi ko alam kung anong hinahanap ko." "Ha?" She looked at me a minute before she was inspecting the books while walking towards where I was at. Nang nasa harapan ko na siya, doon lamang niya ako napansin. "Ano ulit 'yong sinasabi mo?" takhang tanong ni Shanta kahit na ilang beses ko nang inilahad 'yon. "I'm asking about the book we're finding," ulit ko at hinahabaan ang pasensya para sa kanya. "I don't what exactly is the title. Kaya hindi ko talaga alam ang hinahanap ko. It's kinda a waste of time standing here, finding hair on a bald

AT KUMUSTA KA naman ngayon? Kumusta ang relasyon mo sa kanila?" Shanta asked with eyes intently looking at me. I melt down because someone was really lending ears to my unheard voice. "Anong ginawa mo? Sinunod mo 'yong teacher?"I grinned and slowly nodded. Iyon naman talaga ang dapat na gawin. I didn't want to ruin my peace just because I insisted on something that was partly my fault. I said sorry because I deserved to live in serene after I fought a drought in my system.Tungkol sa nagawa kong kasalanan, I had left the recording studio without the group's permission and ignored their calls when they needed me.They only knew about my condition after I woke up and realized that I was kicked out. Hindi ko sila masisisi para kumilos nang ganoon. Wala silang kaalam-alam

MAY MALANSA DITO? Can you smell it ba, guyz?" It was Katlego's voice. Nang makalapit kami ni Shanta sa mesa nila, tumaas ang tingin niya sa amin. "Oh, I didn't see you there! Nandito na pala kayo! Kaya pala iba ang naaamoy ko, eh!" Nagtawanan silang mga nasa mesa. He had the Lachlan beside him and Clavis across from him. Katabi naman ng aso ang isa pang aso na si Jirario sa kanan upuang. "Tanga. Bibig mo lang 'yon," singit ni Shanta saka pinagmasdan ang pagkain ni Lego. "Ano 'to? Pusit ba 'yan? Meron pa doon? Patikim nga-" "Hep, hep, hep! Huwag kang kukuha diyan! Magpabili ka na lang!" "Madamot ka. Tangina mo. Kapag ako hinihingian mo, namimigay ako. Kapag ako ang hihingi, 'di ka namimigay-"

I PARKED MY CAR in front of a black towering gate as soon as Shanta and I got in the Ferrucci Mansion. Mabilis kaming natapos sa pag-aayos ng mga libro kanina sa silid-aklatan at hanggang sa mga oras na ito ay hindi kami tinatantanan ng mensahe ng mga kaibigan namin. Paulit-ulit lang ang mga tanong nila. Ang pinaka-kontrobersiyal ay kung bakit napatagal kami sa pag-alis kagabi at kung ano pa raw ba ang ginawa namin sa loob ng kotse. I told them I had my first-aid kit inside. That was I used to mend her wound and little scratches. Although it was quite reasonable, it wasn't enough to convince them. Patuloy pa rin sila sa pagdududa tungkol sa estado ng relasyon namin ni Shanta. "So… I'll see you tomorrow," I said once the engine has died.

THE GUARD opened the entrance door for me as I came into an exclusive restobar where Euart was. Nginitian ko siya bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob. I thought music would be booming once I came in since it's a bar, but when I caught a view of the resto's interior, customers were silently conversing with each other on their tables. It explained why he wanted to talk to me here. The atmosphere was serene as it was accompanied by operatic music. The lights were a bit dim yet a yellow glint. Habang sa kaliwa ay inookupahan ng mga upuan at mesa, the right side was a bar counter. At doon nahagip ng mga mata ko ang pigura ni Euart. Only I could mark the other side of his face. He was at the far corner, sitting and drinking alone. I sighed at how messed up he looked. He seemed to be deep in thoughts as his gaze was focused on his glass. Naglakad ako patungo roon kung nasaan siya. And as I strode in big steps, hindi pa rin siya lumilingon sa paligid. Hindi pa rin niya ramdam ang

I NEVER LEFT EUART'S eyes. Hindi ako makasagot hindi dahil sa naiilang ako, kundi dahil sa tono ng kanyang pananalita. I couldn't make sound of his tone, be it sarcastic or what. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong mainis kung tunog panunuya iyon o medyo maginhawaan dahil kalmado siya. He chuckled. Maybe, he was making fun of how my face looked like. Doon ko rin napansing kanina pa nakabukas ang bibig ko habang litong nakatitig sa kanya. I shut my mouth and drank my liquor when I realized how I ugly I was. "I'm sorry I surprised you with that," mahinang saad niya. "I was merely asking because I wanted to be assured for once." "Why? Does it matter to you?" seryosong tanong ko habang nakatungo at pinaglalaruan ang yelo sa baso ko. "If ever we built a more serious kind of r

BA'T NANDITO KA?" sigang tanong ni Clavis noong lumapit siya sa amin. His fists were clenched while his chest rose a bit. Pero kahit anong gawin niya, nagmukha pa rin siyang kawayan. "Sinong nagpadala sa 'yo rito? Hindi naman kita inimbitahan.""Well…" Euart seemed to never be faltered by our friend's arrogance. "Who could have invited me, hmm? Maybe, I invited myself here to take vengeance. What do you think?" Then, he smirked and pushed his eyeglasses up that was falling from his nose. I chuckled. Unti-unting nawawala ang angas ni Clavis habang namumula siya mula sa sikat ng araw."I invited him here. Is that a problem?" I butted in before a fight could transpire. "No. That's not a problem-""Anong hindi?! Eh, si Dalmi-""Ayos lang sa akin," putol ni Shanta at nginitian kaming lahat na nakapalibot sa isang bilog. "Wala namang nagbago. Barkada ko pa rin 'yan."I grinned. Nasagi ng mga mata ni Shanta ang pagtitig ko sa kanya. When she realized my e

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
