"Matilda, wake up! Wake up, baby!" Nangingiyak na yug-yug ng binata sa dalaga pero nanatili itong walang malay."Please, baby. Don't leave me." walang pake si Gideon kahit nagkakadugo na ang suot niyang tshirt, ang gusto n'ya lang ay ang makita ang dalaga na nakamulat ang mga mata."Don't do this to me! Please baby. I need you to open your eyes for me, please baby." Patuloy lang sa pag yug-yug ang binata dito habang umiiyak."Bud, it's okay." tapik pa ni Anthony sakanya habang ang mga baril nito ay umuusok pa."How can you tell me that? She's not waking up!" Sigaw ni Gideon sa kaibigan."The bullet was just on her shoulder. She'll be okay, she's just unconscious pero I did make sure na hindi tatamaan ng malala ang shoulder ni Matilda. And I needed to do it in order to shoot Kate." Paliwanag ni Anthony. Alam ni Gideon na sa shoulder lang natamaan si Matilda but Gideon is not a doctor. He has no idea if napuruhan ba si Matilda sa pagkaka baril ni Anthony sa shoulder nito."You should've
"Your father was very rich and a very well known businessman not just in the Philippines but also around the world. I remember how we fell in love back then." His mom is like reminiscing the old love she had back then because she is smiling but those smile are the saddest one. "It was a hate and love kind of relationship, we hated each other at first and then fell in love after. When he confessed his love for me, I was so happy, I'm the happiest. It was the best feeling I've ever had. And then, we got married and then we had you but just when I thought everything was perfect. We are happy and being one big happy family, your father died in a plane crash, that's what I thought. But then as I've had my own investigation, he was actually shot dead in the plane at pinalabas lang na plane crash. It leaves me puzzled knowing that your father is always careful, he always wants the pilot to check the plane if it's safe before it fly or he would check it himself since he's also skilled and lic
"Are you gonna kill them?" tanong ni Matilda sa binata."They have to die." ayaw baguhin ng binata ang desisyon n'ya pero knowing Matilda. Mas soft si Matilda when it comes to that thing. Mas pipiliin n'ya na ang hustisya ang maghusga sakanila."You already planned that, right? You will make them suffer and kill them afterwards?" tanong nito na para bang alam na nito lahat ng plano ni Gideon.Mahinang napatango-tango ang binata. "Are you gonna stop me?" mahinahon ngunit sa kabila nun, pinapalangin ni Gideon na huwag siyang pigilan ni Matilda pero laking gulat ni Gideon nang ngumiti si Matilda sakanya."I want you to not do it..." hindi alam ni Gideon ang mararamdaman. Ayaw n'yang baguhin ang plano n'ya pero kung ayaw ni Matilda, ayaw n'ya ring ipagpatuloy iyon. They did him wrong but they almost killed Matilda and what Matilda will say will be the final plan of him. "But I don't want to be soft hearted at this moment. They almost killed me and my baby. I think whatever plan you have f
"What is it mom?" tanong n'ya pa sa mommy n'ya na nasa opisina ng dalaga ngayon at sunod ng sunod dito at alam ng dalaga na may kailangan ito mula sakanya."I have something to tell you, please hear me out muna before you'll react." naintriga naman si Matilda sa sinabing iyon ng Ina."What is it?" Tanong n'ya pa ulit dito.Excited ito na may kasamang gigil na ngumiti sa dalaga. "We'll gonna do a gender reveal party to your baby." anito na ikinanoot ng noo ng dalaga."Gender reveal? Paano? Ano? What's that." naguguluhan n'ya pang tanong sa ina n'ya."Gender reveal. Diba, malalaman mo na mamaya yung gender ng baby? So dapat sasabihin mo sa doctor na isulat nalang sa paper yung gender ng baby and the doctor needs to fold it para hindi mo makita at namin para sa gender reveal. It's like a celebration of the baby's gender which we'll find out together." paliwanag ng mommy ni Matilda. Hindi alam ni Matilda kung saan nito pinagkukuha ang idea na iyon."Where is that idea even came from?" na
"You need to wear white dress." suhestiyon ni Emily kay Matilda na ikinataka naman ng dalaga."For what? I mean, is it necessary?" nagtatakang tanong n'ya pa sa kaibigan na ikinatango nito."It's a gender reveal party and it's theme is Angel. What does Angel wear? Diba white?" pagpapaliwanag naman ni Mary na mas lalong ikinataka ni Matilda."Mary, ipapaaalala ko lang sayo na you're wearing a gray dress and Emily and Ali are wearing peach dresses. So kung Angel ang theme ng party, ba't hindi kayo naka white?" aniya.Parehong nagtinginan ang tatlo na para bang nag-uusap sa pamamagitan ng mga titig na iyon."W-well, hindi naman kami ang nanay. Y-you're obliged to wear white and so as Gideon kasi you're both the parents. The theme are only applicable sa parents." kumunot ang noo ni Matilda sa paliwanag na iyon ni Mary."May tinatago ba kayo sa'kin?" naningkit ang mga mata ni Matilda habang nakatingin sa mga ito na ngayo'y parang napepe dahil hindi makapagsalita.A minute after that, Emily
"WHAT? I'LL BE LATE!" sigaw ni Gideon sa mga kaibigan n'ya na daig pa mga babae sa hina kumilos."Anong late? Bro, may one hour pa tayo para mag ready. Ba't kaba nagmamadali? I mean, this is your wedding but you're not the bride. Mas maraming make up ang bride kesa sayo, hindi mo na nga kailangan mag make up. Chill, alam kong excited ka pero chill. We'll be there in time." ani naman ni Anthony sakanya habang inaayos ang tuxedo nito.Tapos na mag ayos si Gideon pero ang mga kaibigan n'ya, nagkanya-kanyang harap sa salamin para magpa-gwapo pa."I'm chill. Gusto ko lang makita ang magiging asawa ko." Hindi alam ni Gideon pero kinakabahan siya."Hindi pwede. Your parents are old fashioned and so, you're not allowed to go and see the bride. Any minute from now pupunta na tayo ng simbahan, relax." komento pa ni Christian.Hindi parin mapakali si Gideon, siguro dala narin ng nangyari dati kaya natatakot siya na baka maulit iyon. Yun ang isa sa pinaka ayaw n'yang mangyari ulit sa buhay nilang
"Gideon, ano ba! Pasimuno kana naman sa kalat!" galit na usal ni Matilda habang nakatingin sa asawa n'ya na ngayo'y parang batang hindi makagalaw kasi pinagalitan."Mahal, we were just playing." pagpapaliwanag pa nito pero tinaasan lang siya ng kilay ni Matilda."Pinapatulog mo dapat yang mga anak mo, ba't nakikipag laro ka?" galit parin si Matilda.Lumapit si Gideon sakanya at niyakap siya para paamuhin na masasabi naman ni Matilda na effective."Sorry na, ayaw kasi nilang matulog. Isang oras na akong strikto sakanilang dalawa para matulog sila pero nakiusap sila na ayaw talaga nilang matulog kaya pinagbigyan ko na." pagpapaliwanag nito and Matilda just gave her husband a deadpan look."Gideon, it's almost 9 pm—" hindi na natuloy ng dalaga ang sasabihin ng lumapit din sakanya ang kambal at niyakap siya para payagang huwag muna silang matulog."Mommy, there's no class naman tomorrow kaya please, pumayag kanang matagal kaming matulog ngayon. We sleep kaninang hapon and even woke up aro

Habang akay-akay si Matilda ng mga ito, hindi siya makapag salita dahil nasa bibig parin n'ya ang bracelet na tinatago n'ya. Nagpupumiglas ang dalaga pero napaka higpit ng pagkakahawak ng mga ito sakanya."Kahit magpumiglas kapa diyan, hindi ka parin makakatakas dito. Pinapagod mo lang sarili mo pero okay lang, ito narin naman ang huling araw mo sa mundo." Sabi ni Kate na nagpakaba ng sobra-sobra kay Matilda."Surely, hayaan mong pagodin n'ya ang sarili dahil sa pagpupumiglas at kagustuhang tumakas, hindi n'ya rin naman magagawa yan." sabay tawa nito na para bang nasasaniban ito ng demonyo sa katawan.Dinala si Matilda ng mga ito sa isang napakaliit na kwarto sa lugar na hindi matukoy ng dalaga kung saan. "Diyan ka, pagdedesisyonan pa namin kung paano ka papatayin. Gusto namin yung mas may thrill para mas masaktan ka. I would love to see how you beg for us to stop." Baliw na ani ni Kate at saka nila sinarado ang pinto at nilock iyon.Nagpahid ng luha si Matilda at niluwa ang beacelet
