2021-10-07 03:16:10PARANG SINUNTOK ng hangin ang baba ko paitaas at napatingala ako kay Papa. Minamataan niya ako na parang nakakatunog sa totoong nangyari sa isla. Ayaw kong pag-usapan 'yon! Tuwing naiisip ko 'yon, nabubuhay ang mga paru-paru sa tiyan ko. Ramdam ko ang pamumula ng pisngi ko. Parang burger buns na isinampal ko ang dalawang kamay ko sa aking mukha. Ako 'yong burger. Sinilip ko ang mukha ni Euart at ang sarap lang kalmutin!
"W-wala 'yon, Pa..." ako na ang nagklaro para sa kanila.
Pero pati utak ko'y binibiro ako. Weh? Totoo bang wala lang 'yon? Bigla ko na namang naalala 'yong nangyari sa amin ng babae. Neko... Ang kauna-unahang halik sa tanang buhay ko ay sa isang taong hindi ko pa kilala! Sa taong hindi ko alam ang pan

BUMABA AKO ng basement para kunin ang aking sasakyan. Bilis-bilis akong pumasok at pinatunog ang kotse. Hinila ko ang seat belt saka sineguro ang sarili. Inayos ko rin ang anggulo ng rearview mirror at nagsimula nang umatras ang kotse.Sa aking paghinto sa gate ay bumisina ako para makuha ang atensyon ng guwardiyang nagbabantay doon. At noong makita niya ako, agad niyang binuksan iyon. Kumatok siya sa bintana ng kotse sa oras na matapat ako sa gate."Señorito Kagan, hindi niyo ho ba alam na gabing-gabi na. Saan kayo pupunta sa ganitong mga oras?" tanong nito na akala mo'y pagmamay-ari ang oras ko sabay turo sa madilim na kalangitan noong buksan ko ang dungawan.&

KUNG PUMUNTA nga siya ro'n, malamang nakita niya ang pagtataksil ko noong gabing 'yon. Bigla akong nakonsensya. Napayuko ako at walang mukhang maihaharap sa kanya."I'm sorry, Kach..." sambit ko."About what?""N-nothing..."Inilayo ko ang aking paningin at pinaglaruan ulit ang daliri ko. Baka nga hindi niya nakita ang nangyari sa amin ni Neko dahil kung nasaksihan niya nga ay hindi niya ako sisiputin dito. Hindi niya ako bibigyan ng pag-asa para i-eksplika ang sarili.

Kachina's POV NANGHIHINANG ISINARA ko ang tala-arawan ni Kagan. As if I had run a mile when I'm just sitting. Sweat moisted my back yet I had set the airconditioner very low earlier. Matapos kong mabasa ang huling pangungusap na isinulat niya eleven years ago, I've exhausted myself. No words can describe how furious, irritated, and pained I am. Hindi ko man lang makurap ang talukap ng mata ko sa pagkabigla. I got this golden book from Benida, but never have I known this is a long story. Hindi ko inaasahan na isang nobela na pala ang hinanakit niya para sa akin. For freaking eleven years, he kept it from me! Kung hindi ko pa binasa ito, mamamatay akong walang alam. If I hadn't come back, he'd slip off my arms

W-WHAT? " Maging siya ay hindi makapaniwala sa narinig at nagsimula nang humagulgol. Tumayo ako at nilapitan siya para pagaanin ang loob ngunit wala itong saysay. We're both suffering. How can two persons who are emotionally tired comfort each other? We're like batteries with one bar. How can one recharge the other without emptying herself? "W-what can we do to ease his pain? I don't know what to do anymore..." Nagsusumamo ang boses ni Tita. Ramdam ko ang hinanakit niya. Seems like light has left her and dimmed her world. "I didn't expect na hahantong siya sa ganitong situwasyon. Akala ko... it would only take days for him to recover. But it's different

Kagan's POVMULI siyang sumulpot sa pinakamadilim na kabanata ng buhay ko.Parang nakikipagkarera ako sa bawat sasakyang nadaraanan ko. Halos umusok ang gulong ng kotse sa bilis ng pagmamaneho ko. Gigil kong inapakan ang pedal at hindi ko aakalain na parang karwuheng patungo sa kabilang buhay ang sinasakyan ko!Namamawis ang palad ko dahil sa pag-ikot ng manibela. At bagaman nakaupo lang ay tila tumatakbo ako. Kabayo yata ako. Ramdam ko ang maliit na butil ng pawis na kumakawala mula sa leeg ko. At nagtataasan ang mga balahibo ko!&nbs

ANG SABI ko'y halikan mo ako." Hindi ko siya maintindihan! Nababaliw na ba siya?! Hindi pa ba sapat ang halik namin mula sa isla at gusto pang umisa? Wow. "Halikan mo ako't husayan mo sa paggalaw ng 'yong dila..." aniya at pinakatitigan ako. "Siguruhin mong wala kang mararamdamang saya mula sa pagtugon ko... dahil makamandag ako at baka mawala ka sa katinuan. Malilito ka nang tuluyan. Mapagbabaligtaran mo ang tama sa mali..." Hindi na talaga ako makakilos at makapag-isip nang tama. Winawasak niya ang katinuan ko!

MARAMING nangyari sa araw na ito at sa huli, napadpad ako sa isang kulungan. What the heck am I doing with my life?Yakap-yakap ang tuhod ko, isiniksik ko ang sarili ko malapit sa bakal. Nakasandal ang aking likod sa pader. And now, I regret brooding over my feelings! Hindi na natutuwa ang mga paru-paru sa tiyan ko dahil unti-unti silang nilalamon ng takot.Is this some sort of staring contest? I can't stand competing eyes with these people in the cell. They have this hulk-like bodies at puno pa ng tattoo ang kanilang katawan. May payatot na nagmamasahe sa isang balbas-saradong lalaki at pakiramdam ko'y pinag-uusapan nila ako. Or I'm just too narcissistic to think of it that way? Right! I am.

KINAGABIHAN ay nanatili kami sa bahay nila Euart dahil may ganap na pool party. Kung pwede lang, ilunod ko na siya dahil sa pagbuking niya sa akin sa mga kaibigan ko. Sinabi ko ngang hindi ako 'yon, pinipilit pa rin nila. Okay, ako nga 'yon. Pero kahit na! Dapat hindi ako nagtiwala sa manlolokong 'yon."Are you sure na dito tayo magwawalwal?" tanong ko nang makaupo sa sun lounger. Pero gabi na kaya night lounger. Joke. "I said, walang babae. Right?"Bukod sa liwanag ng buwan, may pa-ilaw din sa pool at bar counter. Sakto 'yon para makita ang mga pangit nilang mukha."Magiimbita ba ako kung hindi? Magpapapa

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
