lKABANATA 14IAN’S POVHindi ako tumagal ng isang buwan sa Pilipinas dahil nahanap ako ng mga tauhan ni papa. i have no other choice but to follow his order so I went to Italy after giving Myca my apology token. I hope she loved the couple bangles I gave her. Hindi ko pa naman alam kung paano ako hihingi ng tawad sa kanya sa nagawa ko noong nasa laot kami para mangisda. I thought that would be our last meeting but good thing she has visited one of the branches of my jewelry line in Manila. Nagkataong nandoon pa ako dahil doon ko hinintay ang mga tauhan ko para ihanda ang private plane na gagamitin ko papuntang Italy.My life is complicated and it is full of surprises. Hindi ko rin maintindihan noong una kung bakit kinakailangan kong mamalagi sa Italy. Pero doon ko napagtanto na lahat tayo ay ipinanganak na may kakambal na responsibilidad sa buhay natin. Iba-iba man tayo ng kapalaran pero pare-pareho naman tayong may gagampanang responsibilidad.It seems fun to be here in Italy. But I a

KABANATA 15MYCA’S POVNagising ako dahil sa napakalakas na kidlat at ulan. I can hear the loud sound of the wind chime from the outside of the house. Bumangon ako para tignan kung walang nakabukas na binatana sa baba. I really hate it when thunder wakes me up in the middle of the night because I can’t sleep again. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay sa akin tatama ang susunod na kidlat kaya hindi na ako sumusubok pang matulog ulit. I glanced at the wall clock in my room and it says it is already 3 o’clock in the morning. Ilang oras na lang ay umaga na kaya naman ay hindi na rin masamang hindi na matulog pa ulit.Nang makababa ako ay unang tinignan ko ang malaking pinto ng bahay. Nakasarado iyon nang mabuti at walang bakas na nabuksan kanina. I checked the windows on each side of the house and then the one on the kitchen. Mabuti na lang at wala namang nabuksan dahil sa malakas na hangin sa labas. Umakyat ako para makahiga ulit. Papasok na sana ako sa loob ng kwarto ko nang makita ang siwang ng pint

KABANATA 16IAN’S POVHindi na talaga ako tinatantanan ng tingin ni Aamon kahit pa tapos na kaming lahat sa pagkain. He even whispered something to Ace and now they are both looking at me. Binalingan ko ng tingin si Louisa para humingi ng tulong pero busy siya sa pamangkin niyang si baby Aziel. Mamaya pa naman ang plano naming umalis pero hindi na pwede na maghinala na agad ang mga pinsan ko dahil sigurado akong hindi ako makakalusot sa kanila.“Halata ka naman masyado, Ian. Huwag mong bigyan ng sakit ng ulo si tita,” sambit ni Ace at Sinamaan ako ng tingin.Aaamon chuckled without humor in it. “Siguraduhin mong hindi ka namin mahuhuli. Alam mong kahit pa tumakas ka ay hindi mababago ang katotohanan na ikaw lang ang maaaring mamuno kasunod ng lolo mo kaya huwag kang magddrama sa amin,” aniya at binalingan ng tingin ang kanyang asawa na nakaupo sa tabi ni Louisa.Napabuntong hininga ako. Mukhang mahihirapan akong tumakas. I know that they are just worried about mama. Hindi naman sila ma

KABANATA 17IAN’S POVWe were supposed to meet up with Koko who is waiting for us in another ship. But we got separated with Matias and Vande’s boat. Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng karagatan nang mahiwalay kami sa kanila. I thought Elias and I are going to die in the middle of the ocean when a lightning struck our boat. Doon kami nakapaghiwalay ni Elias. Nahulog ako sa dagat at nagising dahil sa isang grupo ng mga taong tumulong sa akin. They were native people from a well-known island which is famous for every tourist. Hindi ko alam kung saan napunta si Elias, Vande, at Matias. I hope they are all fine. I thought I am safe already. But I saw some members of the Royal Matadors who have come in that island. That is when I decided to steal a boat from a group of foreigners who were about to go on a journey. That is the summary on how I ended up here in this island where Myca is staying.Hindi ko pa alam kung nananatili rito nang kusa si Myca o ano. I am curious if she is hiding herself too or

KABANATA 18MYCA’S POVNagulat ako nang dumating si Jilo rito pagkawala pa lang ng bagyo. Pero mabuti na rin iyon dahil hindi ko na kailangan pang mag-alala kung ano na ang kakainin namin ni Ian kapag tumagal nang isang linggo ang bagyo rito sa isla. Although I am so eager to know what has been mama and papa’s reply to Jilo’s messages, I don’t want to ask anything about it because Ian might hear us. Ayaw ko naman na malaman niya na ang rason ko para magtago sa islang ito ay dahil sa nagmamatigas ako sa aking mga magulang.Hindi naman sa pagmamatigas pero sa tingin ko naman ay maituturing pa rin na ganoon nga ang ginagawa ko. Hindi naman sa ikinakahiya ko na ipinaglalaban ko lang ang karapatan ko pero hindi ko naman makita ang rason na dapat niyang malaman ang buong rason ko sa likod ng lahat ng ito. I am not sticking my nose to his business and problems in life and so he should do the same thing because after everything, we will never see each other again. Basta makatulong lang ako sa

KABANATA 19MYCA’S POV“Sandali lang! Dito ka na lang maligo sa baba!” pigil ko kay Majo nang nasa hagdan na siya.He turned around to face me while wearing his confused look. Napatingin pa muna siya sa taas na para bang may narinig siyang ingay. I hope Ian will not show up at this moment or else I couldn’t imagine what will happen next the moment he and Majo see each other. Ni hindi ko pa nasasabi kay Jilo ang tungkol kay Ian kaya parang naiisip ko na kung ano ang irereport ni Majo sa kanya sakaling mahuli niya si Ian dito.“I used the guest room the other day and I believe I messed up a little and I haven’t cleaned it yet,” palusot ko.Pinagtaasan niya lang ako ng kilay. Majo and I are not close enough. Pero kahit na ako naman ang nagbabayad sa kanya para sa trabaho niya sa misyong ito ay hindi niya naman ipinapakita na ako ang palaging masusunod sa aming dalawa. He will act on his own according to what he has practiced or according to what Jilo has told him. “It’s okay. I will onl

KABANATA 20MYCA’S POVTahimik lang kami pareho ni Ian. He is busy reading some of the books I brought here with me. Ako naman ay pinapanood siya mula rito sa kama. I am supposed to check if my server is still connected to Jilo’s headquarters but instead of doing anything, I am wasting my time in watching Ian. The computers and my phones are in the secret room. Konektado iyon sa library patungo rito sa kwarto ko. I have to admit that the previous owner of this private island is quite good. I don’t think most people would like to set up a secret room for cases like this. I don’t know if Majo is still in the guest room or if he is patrolling just like what he always does when he is here to check up on me. Kumalam ang sikmura ko. Napatingin sa gawi ko si Ian at pinipigilan ang sarili na hindi matawa. My face flushed because of embarrassment. Kanina pa kami nandito at para pang walang gumagalaw sa amin kasi takot na baka bigla na lang sumulpot dito si Majo sa sobrang ingay ng paligid.“Y

KABANATA 21MYCA’S POV“By the way, have you eaten your dinner?” asked Majo and then glanced at me.Pinapanood ko kung paano tapusin at gawin ni Majo ang kanyang ginagawa. Sa kalagitnaan ng lahat ay biglang tumunog ang sikmura ko. Nagrereklamo na na dapat na akong kumain at mabusog. My face flushed because of embarrassment. Kanina ay si Ian ang nakapuna, ngayon naman ay si Majo. Nakakahiya naman talaga.“N-Not yet,” I answered while biting my lower lip.“Kumain ka na. Hindi ka dapat nagpapalipas ng gutom,” aniya at bumalik sa kanyang ginagawa.Tumango na lang ako nang simple. Hindi ko siya pwedeng ewan dito dahil paano kung bigla siyang pumasok sa kwarto ko tapos makita niya si Ian doon? Kakasabi niya lang kanina na ililigpit niya agad ang sino mang makita niyang nandito sa isla maliban sa akin. I have to make sure that he will go outside through the other door which is connected to the library. Mahirap na ang hindi mag-ingat kasi madali pang makatunog ang isang investigator na katula

KABANATA 84 MYCA’S POV Ian started teaching me the basics of the game. Hanggang sa pwede na akong mag-add ng friends pagkatapos ng tutorials. It’s more convenient since the game does not restrict low level players from meeting high level players in the game. We farmed together and I really enjoyed playing with him. Madali na akong naka level up dahil sa kanya. Hanggang sa makaabot ng level 20 ang character ko ay marami na ang na unlock na features sa shop ng account ko pati ang ibang quests na kailangan kong tapusin. “Do you want to put the affinity with me? We have increased it enough.” “Affinity?” I asked. “May option dito. Since it’s a multiplayer game and players can interact with other players, we put the affinity option to give them a chance to increase their bond with other players.” “Oh! A bond. Sure! Let’s put it!” I said excitedly. I stared at my character. Ang ganda niya para sa akin. My character and Ian’s character look good together. Mukha talaga silang magkasintah

KABANATA 83MYCA’S POVPagkatapos ng mahabang usapan namin ng mama ni Ian ay nagpaalam itong may dadaluhan siyang meeting. Kaya naman ay na-excite na agad ako nang i-tour naman ako ni Ian sa kwarto niya. After the brief tour in his room, he guided me to an isolated room. Pumasok kami sa isang kwartong may hagdanan pababa. It seems like a basement to me but I was surprised by the beautiful and magical decoration of the room.Hindi pa ito ang sinasabi niyang game studio niya dahil kita ko pa sa kabila ang dalawa pang pinto. The room was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow. It wasn't the kind of light you'd find in a normal house, but something more akin to a moonlit garden. The walls shimmered with a mix of blues and lavenders, punctuated by subtle hints of orange and yellow. It was like the light was dancing, shifting, and swirling, almost as if it were alive."Wow…" namamangha kong sambit habang pinagmamasdan ang kabuuan ng kwarto.Tahimik lang na sumusunod sa akin si Ian. I roamed my eye

KABANATA 82IAN'S POVMyca and I decided to go inside the mansion after some moment. Namumula pa rin siya dahil sa mga biro ko sa kanya kanina. I can't help it but flash a wide smile as I guide her inside the mansion. Pareho nga lang kaming nagulat nang salubungin kami ni mama, galing pa siyang kusina namin. I thought she is not home because I heard that she has to attend to an important Miting de Avance of our family."Ian! Why didn't you inform me beforehand? Sana man lang ay sinabihan mo akong dadalhin mo rito si Myca para naman nakapaghanda ako!" ani mama at mas nauna pang lapitan ang girlfriend ko para batiin siya at makipagbeso sa kanya.I watched them silently as they exchange greetings. Mukhang tuwang-tuwa si mama habang inuulan na ng maraming tanong ang girlfriend ko. Myca glanced at me when mama invited her to our dining area for lunch. I only smiled at her. We haven't eaten our lunch yet but I want her to respond on her own. Baka sa sobrang hiya niya ay ayawan niya ang pagy

KABANATA 81IAN’S POVHindi ko maiwasan ang hindi lalong mapangiti. The expression on Myca’s face is something that I have wanted to see. I was supposed to set a date and surprise her about her own in game character that I have designed myself but seeing her reaction now satisfied me already. Pero baka ang 3D animation na lang ang ipakita ko sa kanya at gawing surprise. We are still in the process of adjusting for some of the characters including Queen Myca. Kaya kapag nafinalize ko na ang lahat ay saka ko ipapakita sa kanya ang kabuuan ng laro.“By the way, fact about the game: there are side and back stories that we have created about the characters in the game. Wanna guess what’s Queen Myca’s back story?” I grinned at the thought of revealing it myself.“I am still shocked about this revelation and now you are telling me that such back story about this character exists?” Myca looks more surprised.“Uh-huh.”Natahimik siya sandali. Nag-iisip ng posibleng back story.“Hmm… Siguro isa

KABANATA 80MYCA'S POVKinabukasan ay maaga kaming gumising para na rin makapaghanda at masimulan ang photoshoot nina Ian at Melody. Hindi pa masyadong nagbabanta ang pagsikat ng araw ay naisipan naming maglakad-lakad muna ni Ian sa tabi ng dalampasigan. Until such time that we decided to hit the gym and ate our breakfast before we came back to the site of the resort. Tamang-tama ang dating namin dahil nakaayos na ang lahat at nakahanda na para sa photoshoot."We will start in three minutes. Please put on your beach attire," Yorrick's team's leader announced to Melody and Ian.Melody is already wearing her sexy bikini. Nagtapis lang muna ng isang roba nang makitang hindi pa nagpapalit si Ian ng trunk. Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin at tumabi ako kay Honey na busy pa sa pagkain. The outdoor table is facing the palm trees where the photoshoot will take place. Kaya naman ay kitang-kita sa gawi namin ang lahat. Nakapwesto sa kabilang gilid ang team ni Yorrick at nakaset na rin ang cameras

KABANATA 79MYCA'S POVIan and I had a long conversation. Sabay naming pinanood ang paglubog ng araw habang nag-uusap. That moment was special for me. It was peaceful… yes, I feel at peace when I am with him. Nagbabanta na ang gabi nang mapagdesisyunan namin ni Ian na bumalik sa mga kasama namin. Lahat sila ay inaayos ang sari-sarili nilang tent kaya walang nakapansin sa amin nang bumalik kami.Maliban sa team ni Yorrick na naatasan na tumulong para sa shooting bukas ay nagdala din ng ibang mga kasama ang iba sa amin. Melody has her own royal bodyguards and personal maids while Sapphire only brought three people. Nagulat din ako nang makita ang maraming mga tauhan ni Ace, Natan, at Honey.Even Ian brought some of his men. Ang iba sa kanila ay medyo namumukhaan ko. Siguro dahil natatandaan kong sila 'yung mga tauhan na sumundo sa kanya noong nasa isla pa kami. Aside from that, they are wearing different attire. Mukha silang mga tauhan ng isang maharlikang tao dahil sa suot nila. O baka

KABANATA 78MYCA'S POVMatuling lumipas ang mga araw at gabi at hindi ko na namalayan na malapit na rin matapos ang lahat ng kabuuang plano para sa aming proyekto. I had a great time here in Washington and as there is a lot of progresses in our world resort project collaboration. Medyo nahirapan lang ako sa pakikipagsabayan sa mga kasama namin dahil na rin sa hindi ako ganoon mahilig makisalamuha. Habang sila naman ay halos kilala na nila ang isa't isa.Maaga pa lang pero talagang pinaghandaan ang pagpaplano para sa gagawing advertisements at iba't-ibang paraan para mapromote ang resort namin. Hindi naman araw-araw ang meeting namin kaya kahit papaano ay nagagawa kong makagala kasama si Allison. Sometimes I would spend my nights in their mansion. Talagang sinulit ko ang malaking oras ko rito sa Washington kasi malapit na akong umuwi ulit ng Pilipinas."I volunteer to do the Social Media, Website, and Email Marketing," Majo volunteered.Walang ni isang umapila.

KABANATA 77MYCA'S POVWe became silent for a little while. Pero agad din iyon nabasag nang muling magtanong ang papa ni Ian at tungkol naman ito sa aking mga magulang. "I heard you are into business, hija. Does it mean your parents are both into business, too?" asked tito.I nodded slowly. "Opo. We handle different types and forms of business. Pero karamihan po sa kompanyang naipatayo ni papa ay pang real estate at shipping lines. Ang mama ko naman po ay mas aktibo siya pagdating sa larangan ng agrikultura pero isinasabay niya pa rin ang pagpapatakbo ng iba't ibang kompanya.""Wow, that's amazing. I think it runs in your blood.""Siguro nga po." I chuckled.Dahil sa nakikita kong tuwa sa reaksyon nilang mag-asawa ay hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili kong matuwa rin. Good thing I can keep up with their questions."Ikaw lang ba ang nag-iisang anak?" tanong naman ni tita."I actually have a twin sister but…"I couldn't afford to utter the next words.

Ian kissed his parents before he stood up beside me again. He tried to utter some word, probably trying to introduce me first, but both of us kept quiet when his mother immediately held my hands and looked at me as if I am the present she has always dreamed to have, and finally she got a hold of this unparalleled gift. Kinabahan na agad ako sa kanyang mga ngiti at matamang pagtitig sa akin. “Ma, si Myca---” Ian tried to introduce me.“Yes! I know her!” His mother cut his words off.Pakiramdam ko ay nakikita ko ang pagningning sa mga mata ni Mrs. Tessimond. Habang ako ay kinakain na ng matinding kaba.I forced a smile at her. “H-Hello po…”Pwede na akong magpalamon sa lupa. Sa dinami-dami ng pwedeng sabihin at ibati sa kanya ay iyon lang ang mga katagang lumabas sa aking bibig dahil nablangk
