“WHAT HAPPENED?” nag-aalalang tanong sa kanya ni Marcella sabay hawak sa kanyang pisngi. “Are you hurt?”

Umiling siya rito at tipid na ngumiti. “No, I’m not. I’m totally fine.”

“Ano ba kasi ang nangyari? Ang sabi sa ‘kin ng mga tauhan mo ay na-ambush kayo. I was scared that something might happen to you and to my daughter,” anito. “Kilala mo ba kung sino sila? Did you see their faces? Tell me so we can warn them.”

Umiling siya rito. Hinawakan niya ang kamay nitong nakahawak sa kanyang pisngi. “We’re fine. I think that was just one of my rivals in the race.”

“Why didn’t you use your gun?” usal ni Marcella. “I checked the bullets are still there. Bakit hindi ka nanlaban? Baka kung napano ka.”

“Your daughter was with me,” he replied and looked away. “I don’t want to scare her. She was even thinking I’m a criminal.”

Sa kanyang sinabi ay mahina itong napahugot ng malalim na hininga. “I’m sorry about that. Ganoon lang talaga si Bliss. Hindi niya alam ang mundong ginagalawan ko. All I know i

    Ramdam niya ang pagdampi ng malamig na hangin dala ng aircon na nakatayo sa gilid nang biglang hinila ni Aiden pababa ang kanyang pag-ibabang salawal. She tried to move but her hands are pinned behind her. Isang singhap ang kanyang pinakawalan nang muling dumampi ang palad nito sa pisngi ng kanyang pang-upo. She let out a small groan and bit her the bed sheets.“Are you really not going to tell me?”“I am telling you the truth,” she replied. Muli na namang dumapo ang palad nito. And she can feel it burning. Mukhang namumula na. “I’m talking to a friend, Aiden. Please, believe me and stop this. Baka mahuli tayo ni mommy.”Naramdaman niya ang paghimas nito sa kung saan palaging dumadampi ang palad nito. She thought he’s going to stop. Ngunit hindi. He slapped her butt cheek again, twice. She buried her face on the bed and groaned.Not because of the pain. Because she’s starting to feel otherwise. She’s turned on, and that’s a big shame.“I’m counting,” usal nito. “If you’re not going t

    “Anong gusto mong inumin, hijo? Juice? Kape? Tea?” offer ni Marcella sa kanilang binata na tahimik lang sa hapag.Hindi maiwasang makaramdam ng pagkailang ni Bliss. Nandito sila ngayon sa dining area dahil saktong naluto na raw ang pananghilian nila. She’s sitting beside Conrad—the guy she met from the club—and across from her mothe dahil makatabi ito at si Calista.Si Aiden naman ay na sa dulo ng mesa, sa tabi niya. Ito ang nagsisilbing padre de pamilya. Well, he’s indeed already a father. Hindi pa nga lang nito alam. And now, she wonders; ano kaya ang magiging reaksyon ni Aiden kapag nalaman nitong mayroon na itong anak?“Ayos na po ako. I just had my lunch outside. I was having a hard time finding the exact location that Bliss told me. Masyado kasing maingay sa club nang banggitin niya kung saan siya nakatira ngayon,” nakangiting sagot ni Conrad.Gustong tampalin ni Bliss ang sariling noo dahil sa labis na katangahang kanyang nagawa. Why the hell would she tell a stranger her house

    “Yup! Marrying became a pressure to us, as an only child.”Gulat niya itong tinignan. “Only child ka rin?”He hummed and smiled. Habang siya naman ay patuloy lang sa pagdila sa kanyang ice cream na binili ng binata kanina. Nandito sila ngayon sa Lingayen Beach, pinapanood ang paghampas ng alon sa mga bato. But this is not like any other ordinary beach. It has a calm water, with grayish-brown sand.May dalang kotse kasi si Conrad kaya’t kahit saan sila magpunta ay si go*gle map lang ang kanilang inaasahan. Kung ililigaw man sila nito, ayos lang dahil dalawa naman silang maliligaw.“I’m an only child too, Bliss. That’s why they’ve been pressuring me to have a child on my own. Guilt tripping me with words like ‘I don’t know if I can still see the daylight tomorrow’ and such. And honestly, it’s exhausting.”Mahina siyang natawa rito. “Me too. Mabuti na lang at na sa New York naka-base ang business ko. I don’t have to listen to my mother’s guilt tripping all the time.”Sabay silang natawa

    “Saan ba kasi tayo pupunta?” irita niyang tanong sa hindi mabilang na pagkakataon.“Somewhere.”Parang gusto nang sumabog ni Bliss sa sobrang inis. Pakiramdam niya tuloy ay pinaglalaruan lang siya ni Aiden. Kanina pa niya ito tinatanong kung saan siya nito dadalhin ngunit ‘somewhere’ pa rin ang sagot nito.Nagsisimula na siyang mainis.Binaling na lang niya ang paningin sa labas ng bintana. He’s not giving her answers. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit ngunit nagdadalawang isip siyang sumama rito. Maybe because of what she and Calista talked about this morning.“How was he?”Wala sa sarili siyang napatingin dito. “Who?”“That arrogant navy,” he replied. His eyes are fixed on the road but he kept clenching his jaw.Pinagkibit balikat niya na lamang ‘yon at tumingin ulit sa labas ng bintana. “I already answered that question a while ago. He was kind and considerate. He’s a perfect man, a good future husband.”Umismid ito na para bang hindi nito nagustuhan ang kanyang naging sagot. She

    Nanatili ang kanyang paningin sa kalangitan. Tahimik lamang siya at ganoon din si Aiden. It was like he’s giving her time to think and stare into the horizon, which is good. Ang daming nangyayaring magulo sa buhay niya ngayon. The least thing she wanted right now is peace and quiet space.“Ang gaganda ng mga bituin,” she whispered while staring into the sky.“Your eyes are prettier than those,” he responded.Natatawa niya itong nilingon at mahinang umiling. “I didn’t know you’re a joker too. And hey, thanks for that lie. That just made me feel a little better.”Nakahiga rin ito sa picnic mat at katulad niya ay nakatitig din ito sa kalangitan. He looked at her. Seryoso ang mga mata nito habang nakatitig sa kanya.She has to look away. Hindi niya mawari kung bakit nakakaramdam siya ng hiya ngayong hindi naman siya itong nakatitig.“Stop staring. You’re making me feel awkward,” she mumbled.“You have a pair of beautiful eyes,” usal nito habang titig na titig sa mga mata niya. His eyes th

    “Anong plano mo ngayon?”Napatingin siya kay Calista nang makita niya itong nakatitig sa kanya. She’s holding a glass of champagne while Calista on the other hand is drinking yakult.Yes, Cali is drinking yakult. Masakit daw ang tiyan nito. Hindi niya na rin pinilit. Nandito sila sa resort na tinutuluyan ni Cali. Nakababad siya ngayon sa bathtub habang tanaw sa labas ng glass wall ang kalmadong dagat.She asked her mother to stay here for the night because she’s leaving to Manila first thing in the morning tomorrow. Marcella even offered her that Aiden is going to take her to Manila but she politely declined. Magtitiis siya sa road trip kasama si Cali kaysa ang makasama ito.“I don’t know to be honest,” she replied. “I think he’s making me a backburner.”“You’re not,” sagot ng pinsan. “You can’t call yourself a backburner. Hindi ka naman reserba niya na kapag hindi siya pinakasalan ng ina niya ay ikaw ang ipapamalit. Tita is still going to marry him, whether you like it or not.”Bliss

    “Hindi halatang excited ka ha,” natatawang usal ni Cali habang busy siya sa paglalagay ng makeup.She looked at her cousin and raised a brow. “Excuse me? Do I look like I’m excited? I’m all here, sweating and nervous. What if hindi niya magustuhan ang business ko and i-withdraw ang perang binigay niya?”Napailing ito. “Hindi naman siguro ito mag-i-invest kung alam nitong lugi siya sa business, ‘di ba? Pinapangunahan mo kasi ng negative energy kaya hindi na masyadong nagpa-function ang utak mo. Try mo kaya ang ano, positive mindset.”She rolled her eyes heavenwards and continue applying makeup to herself. Well, hindi naman heavy makeup. She’s not fond of that. She’s only doing Latina makeup only when there’s an event of when she’s going to a club. That is where Latina makeup should show. Not in a formal business meeting.Lumisan sila ng Pangasinan at exact four in the morning. According to Cali’s driver, the trip to Manila would take probably more than three hours.

    She’s looking at him. She’s horrified. Hindi niya alam kung paanong si Aiden pala ang investor niyang naglapag ng ilang milyon para sa kanyang negosyo. Nakatitig siya rito at kulang na lamang ay magkaroong ng malaking question mark ang kanyang ulo ngayon.And he’s staring at her too. Mukhang marami rin itong tanong sa kanya. She can’t decipher a single emotion in his eyes. Blanko ito na para bang nakatingin sa isang patay.“What… why…”“Let’s order first,” saad nito at agad na inangat ang kamay at nagtawag ng waiter.“Zdravstvuyte, ser.

    Isang nakakabinging katahimikan ang bumalot sa kanilang dalawa habang na sa loob ng sasakyan. Hawak niya nang mahigpit ngayon ang kanyang sling bag na talagang pinakuha niya pa. Dito siya kumukuha ng lakas at para hindi siya mahimatay.But… maybe losing consciousness is way better than be in this kind of situation. Tahimik lamang si Aiden at seryosong nakatingin sa kalsada sa unahan. None of them had plans on breaking the silence. Well, mukhang may plano naman si Aiden na basagin ito.“Aren’t you gonna explain it to me?”Wala sa sarili siyang napatingin dito at napalunok. “Uhm…”“You ran away instead of just answering my questions.” Saglit siya nitong tinapunan ng tingin. It was just a mere glance, but her heart started pounding faster as it could ever be.“I…” Nag-iwas siya ng tingin dito at humugot ng malalim na hininga. “I don’t know. I really… really don’t know.”Rinig niya ang paghugot nito ng malalim na hininga. Mariin naman niyang nakagat ang ibabang labi, ngunit agad din siyan

    Agad na bumilis ang tibok ng kanyang dibdib nang itanong ‘yon ng jologs kay Aiden. And from the playful aura he had a while ago, suddenly, she can feel the changes of the atmosphere. Parang bumigat at nahihirapan siyang makahinga.Sa paraan pa lamang ng pagtingin ng binata ay nanginginig na kanyang mga tuhod sa takot. Kusang pumikit ang kanyang mga mata nang mas diniin pa ng jologs ang bibig ng baril sa kanyang sintido.Sa totoo lang ay hindi na siya nakaramdam ng takot kanina dahil sa kung paano siya kausapin ng mga lalaking kumidnap sa kanya kanina. Parang nakikipag-usap lang nga sa kumare nilang natagpuan nila sa kanto, e.“Why are you even insisting to revive your already dead clan?” malamig na tanong ni Aiden habang pinaglalaruan sa kamay ang baril. And it was a real gun! Alam niya dahil ito ang baril na kinuha niya sa loob ng drawer nito sa sasakyan. “They’re long gone.”Napasinghap si Bliss nang hawakan siya ng jologs sa leeg at mas lalong diniin ang bibig ng baril sa kanyang u

    Tahimik na pinapanood ni Aiden ang monitor na ginagalaw ngayon ni Xander. Kahit ito ay nalilito kung alin ang uunahin. Kung i-trace ba ang bomba na nakatanim umano sa paligid ng quarters o ang i-trace ang location ni Bliss.“Manghingi kaya tayo ng tulong sa asawa mo?” tanong ni Xander. “Maybe she can help.”Sinamaan niya ito ng tingin. “Do you even hear yourself?”“YA dumayu, Ksander prav.” Napatingin siya sa kanyang kasamahan nang masalita ito. “My seychas imeyem delo s dvumya problemami, i yeye doch' uzhe vovlechena. Nam nuzhno chto-to sdelat.” [translation: I think Xander is right. We're dealing two problems right now and her daughter is already involded. We need to do something.]Cydine is a Russian man. Full blooded as well. Their organization was based in Europe, particularly in Russia. And that is the reason why they sometimes talk Russian.“My ne mozhem vtyagivat' yeye v eto.

    SHE ROAMED her eyes all over the place. Hindi niya alam kung matatawa ba siya o ano. This is not what she prayed for. Hindi ito ang pinagdasal niya sa altar kanina. Hindi ito ang iniyakan niya. Pero bakit paglabas pa lang niya ng tahanan nito ay ganito ang bungad sa kanya?“Napakagalante naman ng kasintahan ni Aiden. Tignan mo yung sapatos, pre. Mukhang mamahalin.”She bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes. “Walang bibili niyan. Peke lamang ‘yan.”“Hoy, babae. Sinong niloloko mo?” tanong ng lalaking mayroong tartar sa ngipin. “Basta jowa ni Aiden, mayaman. Maraming pera!”“Hindi niya nga ako jowa. Hindi ka ba nakakaintindi?” Nagsisimula na siyang maramdam ng irita sa halip na takot.“Ty ne mozhesh' khot' raz zakryt' rot?” tanong ng isang lalaki na mukhang jologs.

    Where to go?She’s now walking along the road. May napapatingin sa kanya, lalo na sa kanyang suot na pumps dahil kumikinang ito sa tuwing naiilawan. Wala na siyang pera dahil nagpi-feeling hero siya kanina kay manong driver. Well, worth it naman.After crying her heart out in the church, she feels a little better now. Ngunit hindi pa rin klaro sa kanyang isipan kung saan siya pupunta. She bit her lower lip and roamed her eyes all over the place. Wala rin siyang load para tawagan si Cali kaya’t mukhang maliligaw siya sa pagkakataong ito.Magpapatuloy pa sana siya sa paglalakad nang may isang puting van ang huminto sa kanyang harapan. The door opened and her eyes widened to see some armed man in front of her. Mabilis ang tibok ng kanyang dibdib nang makitang bumaba ang mga ito.“What are you planning to do?” malakas niyang sambit.And when someone grabbed he arm, she started screaming.“Help! Help! Tulong! Tulungan niyo ako!”Someone put a sack on her head, making it hard to see where s

    “Who si Miracle Luna?” he asked.She was stunned. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang kanyang isasagot. Tila ba ay tinakasan siya ng sariling boses and now she’s unable to talk. While Aiden is patiently waiting for her reply. She’s starting to feel nervous. Her palms are sweating cold and she can feel the beads of sweat forming on her forehead.And before she could say anything, she grabbed her sling bag and hurriedly left. Narinig niya pa ang pagtawag ni Aiden sa kanyang pangalan ngunit hindi niya na ito binigyang pansin.Lumabas siya ng restaurant na iyon at sakto namang may taksi na kakababa lang ng pasahero. Walang pagdadalawang isip niya itong tinulak at pumasok sa loob.“Hey!”She closed the door and turned to the driver. “Drive, please!”“Pero hindi pa po sila nakakapagbayad.”“I’ll pay that woman’s fare. Just please, drive!”The driver sense the urgency in her voice. Agad nitong sinunod ang kanyang tugon. Lumingon siya sa likod at nakita si Aiden na nakatingin lang sa sasakyan na kan
