Apat na araw? Apat na araw ba ang kailangan para iuwi ang kotse rito?

Gigil na nakagat ni Kimberly ang sariling labi habang nakatitig sa kalendaryo ng hawak na cellphone.

For some reason, she found the date showing in her screen more irritating than the fact that her phone doesn't have signal.

Nang hindi pa rin mabawasan ang kanyang gigil ay patamad niyang inunat ang mga binti mula sa pagkaka-indian sit. She let her back do a free-fall against the soft white sand and focused her sight to the blue sky above.

Humigit siya ng malalim na hininga hanggang maramdaman niyang tila sasabog na ang kanyang dibdib. She held the salty air inside her for some seconds bago mabagal na pinalabas yon sa makitid na puwang ng kanyang mga labi.

The morning breeze coming from the open sea was calming. L

    "Gorgeous..."Dagling napalingon si Kimberly sa pintuan ng bathroom. Someone talked from it and her fingers stopped from picking lipsticks. She was about to say something but felt like she swallowed her tongue when her eyes met his. Naibalik niya bigla ang tingin sa kaharap na salamin."You look heavenly."She raised her middle finger to the guy who was lazily leaning one of his shoulders against the door frame. Then as if she saw nothing, bumalik siya sa ginagawa.Not a minute passed nang maramdaman niya ang natatawang si Jace sa kanyang likuran. Sunod-sunod ang naging kaba ng kanyang dibdib nang itukod nito ang mga braso sa counter at ikulong siya matipunong katawan nito."You need help?" bulong nito sa kanyang tenga na nagpakilig sa kanya."Get lost, Jace. Ano naman ang alam mo sa lips

    NAALIMPUNGATAN si Kimberly nang makaramdam ng wisik ng tubig sa kanyang mukha.Shocked to her hilt, bigla siyang napabalikwas mula sa pagkakahiga. Her heartbeat skyrocketed when the view before her slowly cleared. The whole place was dark except for a dim ray coming from a far light tower. Worse, napapalibutan siya ng... ‘tubig?’She was frantic when she scanned the whole place a couple of more times. She remembered falling asleep. She could also recall how much she wanted to avoid the pain on Jace’s face, thus, she closed her eyes. Pero hindi niya maalala kung kung kailan siya binuhat nito at dinala sa lugar na ‘yon.She was laying on a wooden floor. There was a railing surrounding the place. Madilim ang paligid at walang maririnig kundi ang naghahalinhinang pag

    "STOP BITINGyour nails." Tinapik ni Jace ang daliri ni Kimberly nang magtangka na naman itong isubo ang mga kuko. Her swollen eyes lifted to him a bit bago ito nagbaba ng tingin. Umakma itong mag-aangat muli ng palad.Ilang segundo itong parang nalito bago natagpuan ng mga malilikot na daliri ang laylayan ng suot nitong sarong. She played with the hem.He sighed. The expression on her pale face was breaking him and yet he couldn't express it more than just staring at her and observing how she acted.Nang mapansin niyang lilingon na naman ito sa bintana ng captain's cabin ay sandali niyang tinaggal ang isang kamay sa hawak na manibela at hinuli ang pisngi nito. He lifted her chin then directed her sight back to his face. "Eyes on me. Don't go looking around.""J-jace, why are we in a boat?"

    ‘He said I'm good at this. Really good at this. I can draw real good! I can --’ "Kim?" Sandaling nanigas ang leeg ni Kim nang marinig ang pagtawag na yon kasabay ng mga yabag sa sahig. Her shaky hand moved fast to grab on all the pens that were cluttered above the bed. Pati ang hawak na lumang notebook na nakuha niya mula sa library ni Jace ay mabilisan niyang inipit sa ilalim ng kutson. "Kim, nakita mo ba -- Are you okay?" Huminto ito sa pintuan ng kwarto nang makita siyang patayo mula sa pagkakatalungko at nagpapagpag ng mga kamay sa suot na puting t-shirt, her usual attire - his plain white Hanes. "O-oo naman." She crossed her fingers behind her and kept her smile as sweet as she could, making sure that the eye contact doesn't break. Kahit na nga atat na atat yata ang mga mata niyang bumaba sa hubad na sikmura nito, maglaro sa garter ng suot nitong board shorts at makipaglaro sa kung ano mang laman noon. Not having to see him for two days should have been peaceful for her - ma

    "JACE..." Mabagal ang naging paghakbang ni Kimberly habang papalapit sa lalaking nakaupo sa dalampasigan. Ramdam niya ang lamig na nanggagaling sa kaharap na dagat pero binalewala niya yon. She inhaled deeply before wrapping herself harder with the shawl around her shoulders. Beach nights were chilly, and the way Jace had been staying really quiet inside his library for days made it worse. Daig niya pa ang mag-isa sa lugar na iyon samantalang kasama naman niya ito. She breathed out. Maingat na tinuloy ang paglapit bago huminto ilang dipa ang layo rito. She collected herself before opening her mouth again. "Jace, can we --" "I don't want to talk." Inangat nito ang hawak na lata ng beer at hindi lumilingon na tinungga ‘yon. He puffed the cigar on his other hand then blew it out. Ni hindi man lang ito nag-abalang lumingon at nanatili lang na nakamasid sa dagat. "Bumalik ka sa loob. Malamig dito." Hindi napigil ni Kimberly ang mapataas ang kilay, not sure if she'll laugh or get anno

    Nemesis... Nanlalatang binagsak ni Jace ang sarili sa swivel oras na makarating sa kanyang library. Both of his hand found its way to cover his face. His chest felt like falling off and yet all he did was sit there and try not to make any strange sound. Ang lapit lang ni Kimberly baka marinig siya. ‘Keep calm. Stay okay. You gotta to understand...’ Mayamaya pa ay nauwi sa pagkuyom ang mga palad na nakatakip sa kanyang mga mata. He felt his eyes heating up for the hundredth time, but just like any other days, he denied himself the right to cry. ‘Stop the drama... Kasalanan mo yan. Ginawa sa sarili mo yan. Pagbayaran mo---’ "D*mn!" Hindi niya napigil ang pabalibag na ibagsak ang dalawang kamao sa kaharap na lamesa. The impact made all the things on the top of the table shook causing some of the papers to fall off his desk. Hanggang sa lumitaw yung folder na sadyang tinakpan niya ng iba pang dokumento. ‘God, out of all people... why me? His throat burned in a want to throw that ho

    IT WAS PAST midnight and yet she couldn't even bring herself to sleep. Bagkus ay natagpuan ni Kimberly ang sarili sa loob ng library na tinutulugan ni Jace. Nakaramdam siya ng kaba nang muling mapadako ang kanyang paningin sa basag na digital clock sa sahig.The library was as messy as her head. Nakakalat ang mga libro sa sahig dahil sa pagkakabuwal ng isa sa mga shelves na dati ay maayos na nakadikit sa dingding. There was a hole on his desk that was big enough to insert a knuckle in . Malakas din ang amoy ng alak sa loob ng kwarto na nagmumula sa mga bubog sa sahig.There was no need to tell, Jace must have been ballistic hours ago.Mabagal ang kilos na lumabas siya ng library. Hindi na niya binigyan ng pansin ang buksan pa ang mga ilaw sa kanyang daanan. Subconsciously, it made her realized how much she memorize every corner of his house. Their house.Nang makarating ang kanyang mabibigat na mga hakbang sa malawak na living room ay tamihik siyang umupo sa sofa.She felt emptine

    "Good morning."Dagling nabitawan ni Kimberly ang hawak na ballpen kasabay ng marahas na pagbiling sa direksyon ng pintuan. Her other hand moved on its own accord to crunch and tear the notebook page she was drawing on. Agad na tinapon niya ang lukot na papel sa sahig. 'Damn it! Did he see?' "Ano na naman ba kailangan mo?"He didn't answer fast. Nanatili lang si Jace na nakatayo sa pintuan ng kwarto. Pinasadahan nito ng tingin ang mga kalat sa sahig bago walang ekspresyon na tumingin sa kanya. He raised his brow. "That's my inventory notebook.""And so?" She tucked the notebook under her crossed legs. Making an adamant childlike expression while staring at him. "We're wedded so it's a conjugal property now, Mr Mangino.""Oh really?" Hindi nakaiwas sa kanyang pandinig ang sarkasmo nito nang patamad itong sumandal sa hamba ng pintuan. "So you are finally swallowing the idea of getting tied up to me?"She raised her middle finger as an answer and gave him a sweet smile. He just laughed a

    “And they lived happily ever after...”“Hindi kaya.”“They did, Casey. They did...”“Hind kaya frog ‘yong pinakasalan ni Snowhite. At mas lalong hindi tatlong tadpoles ang naging anak nila!”Jace had to move the book covering his face down a bit. Raising a manly eyebrow, isa-isa niyang siuyod ng makahulugang tingin ang tatlong batang magkakatabi sa ibabaw ng family-size bed na kaharap - isang six years old na babae and dalalawang cute na two-years old na lalaki.Patamad na sinandal ni Jace ang likuran sa inuupuan niyang single couch. Pinilit niyang wag matawa nang ibalik ang kanyang tingin kay Cassidy na kanina pa nakasimangot habang nakatingin sa kanya. “Binilang ko, Casey. Tatlo talaga--”“Daddy naman eh--”“Snowhite! Frog!” It was Rain who cut her sister off. Umangat sa ere ang maliliit na kamay nito bago gigil na pinagtatapik ang comforter na nakakumot sa kanilang magkakapatid. The baby was pouting his lips while furrowing his eyebrows. He got jet black hair just like their mom, b

    Hell and back, and then, hell and back again.Kimberly heard something popped when she tried to rest her back against her chair. Her eyes were droopy, her white shirt was a little unclean from being worn for three days in a row, and yet never had she thought of leaving that same spot for even just an hour.Malalim ang kanyang naging buntong hininga nang sandaling ipikit ang mga pagod na mata. For a while she found herself concentrating to the mild machine beeping sound occupying the room.The same noise that keeps her believing that Jace's still alive. Unconscious but still there.‘One. Two. Three heartbeats--’"Kimberly." Pinutol ng tawag na yon ang kanyang pagbibilang. Mabagal ang naging pagmulat ng kanyang mga mata para lingunin ang kung sino mang pumasok sa kwarto.She found herself letting out a forced smile upon seeing Chester sitting in a wheelchair. Sa likod nito ay ang ama nitong tumutulak ng upuan at inang may buhat ng kanyang unica hijang mahimbing ang tulog.As if on cue,

    BANG!"Jace!"It could have been the odds among all odds. Kung gaano kabilis ang naging pagbulusok ni Kimberly pabagsak ay gayun din kabilis huminto yon.Luha, sipon, laway... what else could an inverted hanging body withdraw just to justify what fear of death is like?Huminto ang oras, pati yata pagsulak ng dugo sa kanyang ulo tumigil.Kimberly doesn't want to count how many seconds was she swaying upside down. Pero nang makaramdam siya ng hapdi sa lalamunan dahil sa pinipigil na hininga ay napilitan din siyang dumilat at lingunin kung ano ang mahigpit na bagay ang nakapulupot sa kanyang binti.She made a loud gasped.It was a strong and manly hand.For a fraction, Kimberly almost forgot what the real score she was in was."Tangina!""Jace!"Terror and relief mixed with her blood when his callous hand pulled her back to the stairs.She lost her balance and almost slumped on her butt. Buti nalang ay mabilis nitong nasalo ang kanyang katawan bago pa siya matumba. He held her tight with

    Hindi masigurado ni Kimberly kung ano ang mas malakas. Ang pagkabog ba ng kanyang puso? O ang kanyang naririnig o ang makinang katabi. It had been a while. Hours and hours of searching. Days and nights of visiting different hospitals and morgues in hopes of finding the man she needs to rescue. And yet, here comes the moment, and there she was... standing stiff beside the hospital bed where Chester was laying weak, pale, and half dead. ‘Jusko... Chester--’ "Umh...nurse?" Dagling naagaw ang kanyang atensyon mula sa panakanakang pagpitik ng linyang nasa monitor. She felt her face froze under the surgical mask when her eyes met a pair of confused hazel eyes looking back at her. Pinigil niya ang pamumuo ng napakaraming tanong sa loob ng kanyang isipan at pilit pinakaswal ang pagkukunwari bilang isang nurse. "Yes ma'am?" "Kanina pa po kayo nakatayo d'yan. Hindi pa po ba kayo tapos obserbahan ang pasyente?" The young woman sitting on the lone chair inside that room gave her a once over

    Kimberly’s insides were in tight knot. It had been a while since she opened the door for him pero magpasahanggang sa mga oras na ‘yon ay di pa rin niya mabasa ang ekspresyon nito.‘Oh God. Tell me how to decode chopping board faces.’"Umh... candlelit dinner." She shrugged her shoulders unsurely. "Surprise?"Jace still didn't but a word. Bagkus ay lumibot ang malamig na paningin nito sa medyo madilim na salas. Mula sa malaking mesa na pinilit niyang itulak galing dining room, sa mga larawan na isa-isa niyang pinagpi-print bago nilagyan ng tali at isinabit sa ceiling, sa dalawang bandehadong nakahanda, sa ice bucket na kaysa wine ay dalawang bote ng beer ang nakababad, sa kandilang pamblack-out na nakatayo sa gitna ng lamesa... hanggang mapapadpad ang paningin nito sa mga pahabang baloons na ginawa niyang bouquet at pinang-center piece."Condoms ko ‘yon. ""Alam mo na pala eh." Binalewala niya ang pag-awang ng bibig nito dahil sa sinabi niya. Instead, lumakad siya palapit sa lamesa, ki

    Bacolod sunsets are beautiful... Pero hindi kung may sakit ka ng katulad kay Pete.Umangat ang kanyang kamay para i-adjust ang suot na de-kulay na salamin. Papadilim palang . Masarap sana sa pakiramdam ang malamig na ihip ng hangin pero hindi kaya ng kanyang mga mata ang sobrang liwanag.The lights were too harsh and every step he was taking on that road was a matter of tolerance. Ito ang rason kugn bakit laging madalim sa bahay niya at laging gabi ang pinipili niyang oras ng trabaho. He hated the light because it was making him dizzy. Nasusuka siya pero pinipilit niyang pigilin. His house in Sta Clarita was specifically designed for his need.He was born photophobic. His eyes were strikingly beautiful and light, dahil kinulang sa pigments ‘yon. It was a health condition that he had been bearing with his whole life.Inayos niya ang suot na shawl para takpan ang mukha bago pinagpatuloy ang paglakad sa siksikang kalsadang ‘yon. Hilong-hilo na siya sa dami ng taong bumabangga sa kanya.

    ----------------------------------- Office emergency. Will be back home before dinner. Breakfast ready. Lunch on the fridge. I love you, Queen and Princess, J. ____________________________ Kimberly's mouth shut tight after reading that sticky note. Ilang beses pa siyang napakurap at inulit-ulit ang pagbasa sa hawak bago wala sa loob na napahigop sa hawak na tasa ng malamig na kape. She shook her head left and right before lifting her face to the antique table sitting grandiose inside that kitchen. Walang nagbago, naroon pa rin ang mga sinasabi ni Jace. There were more than five different dishes carefully covered above the table, may maayos na naka-wrap na dalawang sandwich sa loob ng clear canister at higit sa lahat ay sliced fruits na nakahilera sa isang platter - pineapples, rabbit cut apples, at oranges. ‘Jace...’ her mind sighed before putting the sticky note straight to her pocket. It took her some seconds before she realized that she had already been suppressing a smil

    ‘PUTANGINA.’Jace felt the battle worsen amid the alcohol inside his head.He was mad. He was barely holding on. He was drunk but he knew exactly what he was doing. He was faking normal and trying his best not to lash out. God knew that he was trying... really hard.Sobrang init ng ulo niya nang marinig ang pangalan ng kapatid mula sa labi ni Kim. Worse? Halos magkapatong na sila pero ni hindi man lang nito binanggit kay Chesterna naroon din siya. Ang sakit sa puso noon.For a moment, he wanted to slam her to bed and shove his dick into her pretty little mouth to kept her from talking more. Bawat salita nalang kasi na lumalabas sa mga labing ‘yon, nakakasakit. The funny thing though was that he wasn't even able to blurt out a single word about it. Rather, he found himself drinking silently while pacifying himself. Parang maliit na batang pilit pinapatahan ang sarili sa isang sulok kasi wala naman siyang aasahan na gagawa noon.Grudges. He was pent up for years. He was dying inside fig

    "Jace..."The name was almost incoherent when it slipped out of her mouth.Nakadama si Kimberly ng pagkaalangan na lapitan ang hinahanap nang sa wakas ay matagpuan ito sa madilim na parte ng bahay.He was silently standing before a window with his back facing her. Sa katabi nitong mesa ay may nangangalahating bote ng mamahaling brandy at halos umapaw na ashtray. He was motionless as he remained staring over the dark empty yard. It was a give away that he was mentally somewhere else and that he'd been drinking for a while before she came.For a moment, she felt unsure if calling him would be a sin. Pero sa huli binuka na rin niya ang kanyang bibig. "Matulog na tayo."That was the only time Jace seemed to stir and noticed her there. Lumingon ito sa kanya, may kagat na sigarilyo at malalamlam ang mga mata. His face was as dark as the night outside and it wasn't even hard to tell that he wasn't okay."Matulog na... tayo?" he repeated in a cold tone, giving emphasis to his last word, na pa
