LUCIAN PROFACI (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 9
Nagfile si Lucia ng dalawang linggong bakasyon para masulit ni Georgina ang pagbisita sa ama nito. Mabibilang sa daliri kung ilang beses siyang nakapunta sa malaking tahanan ng mga Dela Garza sa Spain pero wala pa rin nabago sa kabuoan nito. It's still as grand as ever. The barrel shaped tiles in warm Earth tones. It's rustic and yet, sophisticated with its terracotta shades of red, orange and deep brown. Just like my Georgina. I always think it's a reflection of her— warm and cozy. She make me feel at home. "Hey, what are you doing here? It's late." Naramdaman ni Lucia ang pagyakap ni Georgina mula sa likod niya. They have three days left before they go home and it's a nice change from living in the city. Nagpapahangin si Lucian sa hardin nang puntahan siya ng babae. After dinner, he decided to take a walk para bigyan ng quality time si Georgina at ang ama nito. There is no doubt that they've missed each other. Her father raised her by himself and Lucian never asked about Georgi

Lucian had no choice but to leave Georgina in Spain and visit Italy. His father's capo and a few soldiers came to pick him in the airport and they were careful not to draw so much attention. Lucian doesn't want to be here but he needs to. Pietra was panicking pati na si Lorenzo. Nang magpaalam siya kay Georgina ay hindi ito kumontra o nagtanong kung bakit siya bibisita. Aware ito na may sakit ang kaniyang ama. Pero hindi niya masabi na bukod doon ay may iba pang rason— ang batang dinala sa bahay nila.Sa eroplano pa lang ay iniisip na niya ang lahat ng babaeng nakasama niya sa kama. He made sure he was protected, pero sabi nga sa condom ay hindi naman ito isang daang pors'yento. Kanina pa siya nagmumura sa isip niya. Sa kaniya ba talaga ang bata? The last thing he wants is to have a child right now habang magulo pa ang lahat. At kung magkakaanak man siya, si Georgina lang ang gusto niyang maging ina ng mga ito. He has fucked so many women... countless of them pero siniguro niyang wal

TORONTOLucian stayed for two days in Italy at imbes na pumunta sa Spain, sinabi niya kay Georgina na sa Toronto na didiretso ng uwi. When he got home, naroon na ito. Lucian took a taxi home at nang umibis siya ay nakita niya ito mula sa bintana. He stayed on the sidewalk at pinagsawa ang mga mata sa kabuoan ng naging tahanan nila ng halos tatlong taon. Hindi niya inalintana ang lamig. Sinusubukan ng araw na sumikat pero masyadong maraming ulap. Parang katulad ng kaniyang pakiramdam ngayon ang panahon. Makulimlim. Nang pumasok si Lucia sa loob ng bahay, maayos ang lahat at ni isang kalat ay wala siyang makita. Georgina has always been neat at wala siyang pwedeng ireklamo. He swallowed and his gaze fell in to their frame picture together on top of the console. Sa Disneyland 'yon nang birthday ni Lucian. Georgina made him take rides that he wouldn't dare go in, pero dahil malakas ang convincing powers nito ay nagpahinuhod siya. Mahal niya e. Nang makarinig siya ng kaluskos ay sa kusin

The next few days weren't any better for Georgina and Lucian. It was like walking on egg shells. They barely talk. They don't sit down and share a meal together. He comes home late and she's already asleep. No one wants to talk about his recent trip to Italy. Ayaw magkwento ni Lucian. Ayaw din magtanong ni Georgina. Both are afraid to hear what the other has to say. Ganoon yata kapag mahal mo at ayaw mong mawala sa 'yo. You just wait until everything gets better on its own. Or maybe, people just don't want to take action because they don't want to take the blame. Maalin na lang sa mawala sa 'yo ang taong 'yon, or they'd be stupid enough to stay. Katulad ngayong gabi, Lucian came home late at alas onse pasado na. He was unbuttoning his shirt when Georgina spoke. Ang buong akala niya ay tulog na ito. "I'm tired of dancing around this. Do you have time to talk?" Georgina is aware that his father is sick and there are a lot of things going on with his family. But the point of being in

Alas kwatro na ng umaga pero mulat na mulat pa rin si Lucian. He hates himself for hurting Georgina's feelings and this is the first time that they weren't in the same bed at home. Mas pinili nitong matulog sa couch sa sala kaysa makatabi siya. He keeps telling himself it's better, pero para siyang pinapatay unti-unti. Bumangon siya at pinuntahan ang babae. Nakita niya itong nakabaluktot sa couch at bukod sa oversized t-shirt niya at boxer shorts na maiksi ay wala na. She didn't even bother to put a blanket on kahit mukhang nilalamig ito. Instead of picking her up, tinabihan niya ito sa couch at niyakap. Hindi ito pumiksi. Kahit ang itulak siya ay hindi nito ginawa. If any, sumiksik ito sa kaniya para kumuha ng init. Pinaunan niya ito sa kaniyang braso at inayos ang buhok na ngayon ay nakasabog sa mukha nito. He then reached for the blanket and covered them both. Sa wakas ay makakatulog na siya. Mataas na ang araw nang magising sila pareho. Lucian missed work but he doesn't care. As

Naging maayos ang pagsasama nila. Lucian continued working but he plans to file his resignation this June. Palagi silang lumalabas ni Georgina at sinusulit ang bawat araw na magkasama. They don't shop much, but they travel. Nagpunta sila sa New York, Florida, Vegas, and even down south to Cuba and Mexico. Their next trip is Jamaica. Maiiksi lang ang bakasyon nila at usually ay two days and three nights, but they enjoy every bit of it.Lucian was at work when an unknown number called him. He stopped what he's doing and answered the phone. Tumayo siya at inilapat ang pinto para hindi marinig ang usapan nila. "Kuya, someone wants to talk to you." It was P who called Lucian. Nasa Palermo pa rin ito at binilinan niyang huwag munang umalis hanggang hindi siya nakakabalik."Papa, it's Ludo.""Hey, bud. How are you?" Hindi niya tinatawagan ang bata pero sinabi niya kay P na kung may kailangan ang mga ito ay tumawag lang. "I'm fine, but I'm so bored. Can we take the train to Rome?" "No, Lud

PALERMO, ITALYA few years later...Mainit ang ulo ni Lucian nang makauwi galing sa meeting. May sumabotahe sa huling transaction nila at ang kalahati ng shipments ay nawawala. Ang duda niya ay may nagtip sa mga awtoridad. Hindi coccaine ang business nila-- diamante. At hindi madaling kumuha ng supply. Nagpadala siya ng mga tao sa Belgium para masiguradong magiging maayos ang lahat, pero umuwi ang mga ito na kalahati lang ang dala. Those are worth millions and millions of money! Sumasakit ang ulo niya sa kaiisip kung ano ang magandang solusyon dahil naghihintay na ang mga kliyente nila. Malaking pera ang nakataya sa transaction na 'yon, bukod sa reputasyon nila. Kaagad niyang nakita ang pagsalubong ng bata sa kaniya pagpasok sa front door. Masaya ang mukha nito at parang kailan lang ay paslit pa. Now he's almost ten. It has been five years since he found out about Ludo's existence. Doon na nagkandagulo-gulo ang buhay niya. Lahat ng pangarap niya ay unti-unting natunaw at nawala rin s

Maagang gumising si Lucian. He would run for about an hour and when he gets home, he would take a shower, get dressed then have his coffee. But his sister, P, beat him to it this morning. Bihis na bihis ito. Napatingin tuloy siya sa oras kung kailangan na bang palitan ang battery ng wall clock, but it is working just fine. "Going somewhere?" tanong niya sa kapatid. He grabbed a mug from the cupboard, saka nagsalin ng kape mula sa pot. P just made fresh brewed coffee. "New York. I mentioned it to you last week." Kumunot ang noo ni Lucian. "Vacation?" P rolled her eyes on her brother. Sa dami ng responsibilidad ng kapatid niya, hindi siya magtataka na hindi nito maalala ang dahilan kung bakit siya pupunta sa Amerika. Truth be told, she feels bad about her oldest brother. Mahirap maging panganay sa pamilya ng Profaci. You take on all the responsibilities and you don't have the option to say no. Hindi niya alam kung ipagpapasalamat na babae siya at pangalawa sa magkakapatid. She is not

LUCIAN PROFACI (The Black Sparrow Society) Epilogue
You can never tell who will be your ally and who will betray you in this world. Some of them have been there for less time, but their allegiance has always been with you. Some of your closest allies may have sold their souls to the devil and turned against you despite their long history of loyalty. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit nagawa ito ng isang taong pinagkatiwalaan ng kaniyang ama sa napakahabang panahon. Itinuring nila itong pamilya. At alam niyang ibinigay ng kaniyang ama ang lahat at maraming beses itong pinaboran. "Why?" tanong niya kay Aurelio. Nasa isang silid sila kasama nila si Lorenzo. Nakaupo si Aurelio sa isang silya at nasa pagitan nila ang isang maliit na mesa. The old man just shrugged his shoulders. He is clearly not willing to talk at this time. Wala itong piring o tali sa paa at kamay. Kung titingnan ay para lamang itong nasa meeting. Maayos ang bihis at walang sugat sa kahit anong parte ng katawan o mukha. Si Lorenzo ang nagsabi sa kaniya na pinasundan it

Before he could approach Keira, she already got up and left the place. She looked frail and thin. Ang akala niya ay bumalik na ito sa Amerika pagkatapos ng bakasyon nito sa Italy."You know that pregnant woman?" tanong ni Georgina sa kaniya. He nodded. "Nabuntis mo?" Pinisil niya ang ilong ni Georgina bilang lambing, saka hinalikan sa pagitan ng mga kilay na halos magdikit na sa iritasyon."You and your ridiculous thoughts. Her name is Keira and Lorenzo went out with her a few times. Hindi ko s'ya nabuntis at hindi ko alam kung sino ang ama ng anak niya." Relief flooded Georgina's beautiful face. Paano pa kaya ang asawa niya kapag nagbuntis uli sa baby nila? He is expecting the worst ngayon pa lang. Siguradong maghahanap ng mga prutas na wala sa bansa o kaya naman ay hindi napapanahon. "Akala ko—" Ngumuso ang asawa niya. At bago pa ito nakapagsalita uli ay inabot niya ang mga labi nito. He kissed her to his heart's content. If she didn't tap his shoulder, hindi s'ya titigil. Hininga

The mattress has been delivered and the men replaced the old one. Tatawagin sana ni Lucian ang isang kasambahay para ayusin ang kama at lagyan ng bagong kobre pero pinigil s'ya ni Georgina. "Let's do it together," sabi nito sa kaniya. Sa bahay nila ay silang dalawa ang gumagawa ng lahat. They do not have a maid because they like to do things together. She saw Georgina locked the door as he took the sheets out from the cabinet. Fitted sheet pa lang ang nailalagay nila nang lumundag ito sa kama na parang bata. "What on Earth are you doing, Ruthie?" natatawa niyang tanong sa asawa. At their age, they know better not to jump on the mattress because it would ruin it. "Just testing how strong this new bed is." Sa huling paglundag ay umupo ang asawa niya sa gitna ng kama at hingal na hingal. Hinila niya ng paa nito hanggang mapahiga. "What are you doing?" She asked while biting her bottom lip. Itinukod niya ang magkabilang siko sa kama at naging maingat s'ya para hindi maibigay kay Georg

Two weeks later... It was clear to Lucian that his life would never be the same after he left Italy and handed over control of the Profaci Empire to his younger brother. To the best of his ability, he became whatever his father had dreamed for him. But he won't repeat his past mistakes; he'll stay with Georgina forever. Now that they don't have to worry about the Triad, they can take revenge for their daughter. France is roughly an hour and a half away from Italy. His friends were eager to join them, but he knew they had other commitments. Pumayag lang ang mga ito na magpaiwan kung isasama niya ang iba nilang tauhan. With Georgina and Nikita around, daig pa niya ang may dalawampung katao kaya hindi s'ya nag-aalala. He is not fully healed yet and Georgina wanted to put the trip off, but he put his foot down. Gusto na niyang matapos ang lahat para makapagsimula na sila ng panibago. Remembering the past pained him and he will never get over losing his daughter. Mawawala ba ng tuluyan a

She left with the other gambits to deal with Maeva while Lucian's pals stayed with him. The sky was dark and foreboding, as if a thunderstorm was imminent. All their feelings against the fake who had posed as Margot Vanguard for so long were captured perfectly. Anais Vanguard decided to go nevertheless despite the terrible forecast. To find closure, she had to visit the gravesite of her real sister. A severe punishment is in order for the person who created problems with the Triad. The Lyon cemetery of Loyasse was where Georgina took them. It is among the region's most revered and historic burial grounds. Thousands of burials and tombs dating back to the early 19th century can be found inside. They had to walk a little ways from la Ficelle to get there. "Maeva Moreau. Forever in our hearts," said Anais. Ibinigay ni Georgina ang isang envelope na naglalaman ng DNA test results kay Anais. "I did not have time to exhume the body." "Dig," utos ni Anais sa mga kasama. Ipinasara ni Ana

"Daddy, wake up." Pilit na ibinubuka nito ang talukap ng kaniyang mga mata. He opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place. Wala s'yang maramdaman na sakit sa dibdib, but he remembered being shot on the chest. Moreover, there's a little girl with wavy hair with the same eyes, nose and lips as him. Ang naiba lang sa bata ay ang kilay— katulad ito ng kilay ni Georgina. The kid is wearing a white dress and her hair has a white ribbon to go with it. Nakasuot ito ng sandals na kulay puti rin. "You ruined Lola's plants." Ngumiwi ang bata at itinuro ang kinalalagyan niya. Maliwanag ang kapaligiran at maraming bulaklak. It looked like paradise. Kulang na lang ay makakita s’ya ng unicorn. “What are you doing here, Daddy?” “Luciana?" She smiled and nodded her head. Umupo s'ya at itinaas ang mga braso para yakapin ang bata. Pinagbigyan naman s'ya nito at pumaikot ang maliliit na braso sa may leeg niya. "Where are we?" Kumalas sa pagkakayakap ang bata at nagkibit balikat. "I live o

Those who have a lot of regrets are paralyzed by their own fear. But Georgina lived her life to the fullest and her one regret, if she were to die today, would be that Elena hadn't passed away first. And it's what keeps her going, that and her hope for a family with Lucian and future children. "They are out, Phantom. I counted." "Copy that," sagot niya kay Nikita nang magsalita ito sa earpiece. She, like Krista and Camille, was outside the walls but can still see everything that's happening inside. She was fortunate to have met these women who became like family during her time as a gambit and in the years of retirement that followed, if anybody could call it that. "Can you see her?" "The woman is completely daft, I swear. She's hiding behind Hugo but I have a clear shot. You want me to take it?" "No. Just fire just above her head when I say go." "Copy." She laughed a little. "She looked like a fucking scared mouse right now." "Niki—" "Yeah?" "Don't miss." The last thing sh

Two days from now, they are flying to France. Georgina had no choice but to hack the system of the Vanguard Triad's main office in Normandy. She used to control it five years ago, and developed new systems to increase the security of the facility. She gave up the controls when she retired, and made an oath to never share nor touch it ever again— or she will pay for her life dearly. "There are two main controls in the facility. They used to have just one, but since I came— I created a backup just in case of an attack." She heaved a sigh. "I never thought I would be the one to launch an attack against them and bring their security down." Lucian rubbed her back. "You shouldn't feel guilty. You are doing this for us." She didn't say anything. "Is Anais staying at the main office?" Georgina nodded. "She lives there. That fortress has been with her family for generations. We have the best medical team. Everything we need is there." "And this Margot lives there too?" "Yes. I wouldn't be

Two weeks passed since they've been back to the city. They bought a house at Albarracin at magkatabi lang ang bahay nila ni Kons. They ordered all the furniture online and didn't even look at the cost. His project in Pampanga is going well at next week ay finishing touches na lang ito. He will take Georgina with her dahil isang araw lang s'ya roon. She's been busy finishing off projects and taking on new ones. It's keeping her mind off the Vanguard Triad problem. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nagigising ang pinuno ng organisasyon pero buhay pa rin daw ito. "I'm getting groceries. Do you want to go with me or dito ka na lang?” tanong niya kay Georgina. Kanina pa ito nakaligo pero nakatutok ang mata sa laptop. Mukhang aburido at malapit nang mainis.“You need a break, baby. Mamaya mo na ituloy ‘yan. Ililibre kita ng mais con yelo.” Hinalikan niya sa leeg si Georgina nang makalapit sa kinaroroonan nito. Sumilay ang isang ngiti sa mga labi nito at bahagyang umungol. “Fine. I’m going w
