WALA SI CHESTER nang makarating si Kimberly sa bahay ng mga Mangino. Ilang araw na rin ang lumipas pero ni hindi pa rin nito naririnig ang paliwanag niya tungkol sa nangyari.

The past few days had been cold. Mga magulang nalang ni Chester ang nagbubukas ng pinto sa tuwing dadalaw siya sa mga ito. Araw-araw pare-pareho lang naman ang sinasabi ng dalawang matanda sa tuwing bumibisita siya roon— wala raw si Chester.

That was both sad and intriguing. Sa klase kasi ng relasyong mayroon siya sa pamilyang 'yon ay opisyal na "label" na lang talaga ang kulang sa kanila ni Chester. Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang, pero alam niyang napamahal na rin siya sa bawat tao sa pamilya nito— maliban kay Jace, syempre. Matigas pa sa bato ang ugali niyon eh.

The Jace's is like an uncharted territory to her. Mahirap itong hulihin, mahirap pasukin, at mas mahirap namang maintindihan. Hindi niya alam kung saan ba siya dapat lumugar sa tuwing nakikita ito. She doesn't want to be in his bad side, but then, pero wala rin naman siyang kaide-ideya kung paano ba mapunta sa good side ng binata.

Sagad na ang pag-aalala ni Kimberly pagdating ng Biyernes. Buo na rin ang hinala niya na sadya siyang iniiwasan ni Chester.Kahit kasi mga tawag at text niya rito ay hindi na nito sinagot.

Masakit 'yon pero sa huli paano nga ba siya dapat na mag-react? Wala naman siyang pinanhahawakan dito, di ba? Ni magtampo nga, hindi naman siya nito binigyan ng karapatan.

Nag-iisip pa rin siya ng paraan kung paano makakausap si Chester nang makatanggap siya ng text mula rito. That was already the ninth day, kaya ganoon nalang ang nerbyos ni Kimberly nang tarantang basahin niya ang mensahe nito.

Sabi ni Chester:

.

.

From: Mangino C

To: me

Amore on Saturday?

.

.

That was a very short message, pero sapat ang naging impact niyon sa kanya. Pagkabasa nito ay agad niyang hininto ang lahat ng kanyang ginagawa at nagmadali siyang lumabas ng opisina. She needed to find a dress and it's a blessing that she owns a boutique.

Halo-halong emosyon ang lumulukob sa kanya nang sa wakas ay makapili siya ng kanyang isusuot at agad na magpaalam kay Rhona.

A red body hugging dress for her and Chester's first ever date. Perpektong-perpekto 'yon sa manipis na makeup na nilagay niya sa kanyang mukha— what else could go wrong?

"Do you like the place?"

Si Chester ang bumasag sa nakakarinding katahimikan kaya napilitan siyang mag-angat ng tingin. The restaurant and the food he chose for them were superb, pero kakatwang hindi niya malasahan ang kanyang kinakain.

Masyado siyang tensyonado at sa palagay niya ay ganoon din si Chester. Ni hindi niya na nga rin napansing napangalahati na pala nito ang bote ng red wine sa lamesa nila. Naglalasing ba ito sa mismong first date nila?

"I was searching for a good place to take you in when someone suggested this restaurant." Tumikhim ito bago uminom ulit ng wine. "I really have no clue about what you will like. Buti nalang ay may bumaggit nitong restaurant—."

"The place is perfect." Hindi na pinatapos ni Kimberly ang mga sinasabi ng kaharap dahil dama niya ang pagkaasiwa nito. He was barely looking at her while speaking. Panay ang iwas nito ng tingin at ayaw naman niyang masamain iyon. Baka kasi katulad niya ay hindi lang ito komportable. Naninibago lang siguro sila.

"Well, whoever suggested this place sure hits a spot." Pilit na ngumiti si Kimberly habang sinusuyod ng tingin ang paligid. Mayamaya pa ay huminto ang tingin niya sa kisame at dagling natulala roon. Unti-unting lumawak ang ngiti niya nang mapansin ang mismong ginamit na pampailaw sa buong lugar. Only a few people knows how much she likes paper lanterns. Nakakatuwa naman.

"Ang ganda."

"Si Jace ang nag-suggest ng lugar. The building was one of his projects some time ago."

"Ha?" Biglang napakunot-noo si Kimberly. Joke ba 'yong sinabi ni Chester? Paano naman nauwi ang usapan nila kay Jace? Take note, sa first date nila.

Tatawa-tawa siya nang ibalik ang atensyon sa kaharap. Still in disbelief she mouthed, "You're kidding..."

"No, I'm not."

Then there was that dragging silence again, na tila ba pareho silang nag-iisip ng mga sabihin habang hindi mapakaling nag-iiwasan ng tingin.

Bumalik siya sa tamilmil na pagkain, habang ito naman ay sumimsim ulit ng wine. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago siya nag-angat muli ng tingin at nagtatakang tingnan si Chester.

He looks distant. Parang wala ito sa piling niya samantalang magkaharap lang sila. He seems to be thinking of something else.

'This is not right...' Nanantiya si Kimberly nang marahan niyang ibaba ang hawak na tinidor. She did it ever so gently, pero dahil nga sa sobrang tahimik ay naging agaw pansin pa rin ang pagtama ng kubyertos sa pinggan.

She saw Chester put his wine glass down and look at her. Ginamit niya naman ang pagkakataon para simulan ang kanyang pagpapaliwanag. "Chester... iyong inabutan mo sa amin ng kapatid mo noong isang linggo—"

"Kalimutan na natin 'yon."

'Huh?' Sa kawalan ng masabi ay saglit na natulala si Kimberly. It took her four seconds to get her wits back. "We need to. I mean... Here we are. Nagsisimula na tayong mag-date. We should—"

"I said, let's not talk about it. "

Pinigil ni Kimberly ang mapamura nang magkaroon ng igting ang boses ni Chester. Muntik pa niyang matabig ang kopitang katabi dahil sa kakaibang kaba na bumundol sa kanya.

Here she is, dating her dream man, looking forward to ironing the creases in their past, pero ayaw nitong pakinggan ang paliwanag niya— something is just not adding up.

"To a new beginning, Kimberly."

Litong-lito pa rin siya nang pamayamaya ay iangat ni Chester ang hawak nitong wine glass. He was asking for a toast.

Sa kaayawang mapahiya ang kasama, iinot-inot ding dinampot ni Kimberly ang kopita at pinagbigyan ito.

"To a new beginning," gagad niya pa sa sinabi nito bago tinungga ang hawak. She knew that good wines are supposed to be enjoyed. However, she was already at the brink of crying too and anything that could wet her aching throat would be a blessing.

"Do you mind if I leave you for a second?"

Saglit na bumaba ang tingin ni Kimberly sa pinggan ni Chester. Gusto sana niyang pansinin na hindi man lang nito ginalaw ang pagkain nito, pero naunahan na siya nitong tumayo. She blinked her eyes in confusion when he gestured his hand to the door. Bubuka palang sana ang bibig niya nang unahan siya nitong sumagot.

"May kukunin lang ako sa kotse." Tumango si Chester na tila humihingi ng paumahin. Pagkatapos ay malalaki ang hakbang na lumabas ito ng restaurant at iniwan siya.

Ilang segundo na rin siyang nakatitig lang sa pintuang nilabasan ng binata nang mahamig ang kanyang sarili. Silently, she poured herself another glass of wine and sipped.

Is Chester going to bring her flowers? She couldn't tell.

Five Christmases, New Years, birthdays, and Valentines had come and go, pero ni minsan ay hindi siya naisip regaluhan nito. It was always her who tried to please him with presents. Wala siyang pinalampas ni-isang okasyon dahil mahal niya ito.

Kahit nagtataka ay natagpuan nalang ni Kimberly ang sarili na binubuksan ang kanyang bitbit na pouch. She started retouching her lipstick, hoping to look her best for him.

"I'm back." Nasa kalagitnaan na siya ng ginagawa nang marinig ulit ang boses ng binata. Pasimple niyang binabalik ang ginamit sa loob ng pouch, at akma siyang ngingiti nang mapako ang paningin niya sa hawak ni Chester.

He didn't bring her the flowers she was hoping for. Bagkus ay isang medyo may kalaking kahon ang dala nito habang nakatayo sa kanyang harapan at seryosong nakatingin sa kanya.

"A-ano yan?" tanong niya nang ilapag nito sa kanyang tabi ang hawak. Then ever so quickly, he stepped away again, na para bang ayaw nitong magtagal sa tabi niya.

The tension surrounding them was getting thick with every second that passes. Natulala na lang siya sa kahon, habang nakatingin naman si Chester sa kanya.

Unti-unti nang nalusaw ang kanyang ngiti. Another minute of not knowing what's inside the box would kill her. Ganoon pa man, ano pa nga ba ang kaibahan ng nadama niya nang sa wakas haklitin ang takip ng kahon at tumambad ang mga laman niyon sa kanyang paningin?

"A-anong ibig sabihin nito?"

"I got this feeling that I need to return those, Kimberly," simula ni Chester sa napaka babang boses. Pamayamaya pa ay pinamulsa nito ang dalawang kamay at tulad kanina ay nag-iwas ng tingin sa kanya. "May girlfriend na ko. I'm so sorry. You'll find someone better."

Then that was it. He dropped the bomb on her face, and she sure got hit hard. Daig niya pa ang sinto-sinto nang magpabalik-balik ang blankong tingin niya sa kahong puno ng mga regalong binigay niya rito at kay Chester.

"Wow..." she managed to say. She was so shock about the turn of events na kahit gusto niyang magmakaawa sa harapan nito, ang sumunod na lang niyang nasabi ay...

"C-congratulations, Chester.

I-I'm... happy for you."

    "HOW DID she take it?" Jace lit his cigar at the same time as Chester came into their room. He had been wide awake since his brother went out. It was already two in the morning, may pasok pa siya mamaya pero talagang hindi lang siya dalawin ng antok. Something was bothering him. He was the one who advised his brother to admit the situation to the girl as early as now. He even told Chester to return everything she gave him. At ngayon nga, he was also the one feeling guilty to the bone dahil alam, niyang masasaktan ito sa mga pinayo niya. She'd been loving his brother for freakin' five years after all. "Lighter than I thought." Ngumiti ang kausap, bago nilagpasan ang kamang hinihigaan niya, dumiretso ito sa aparador at nagsimulang magbihis. "Hindi siya nagalit?" He blew out his smoke. He found that answer stressing. Kimberly, taking that turn down message light was really not what he expected. Something was hëll not right."You can't be serious."

    'WHAT PART of no is hard to understand?' Napapikit ng mariin si Kimberly nang parang bangungot na umulit sa isip niya ang nasabi ni Chester matapos ang halik na pinagsaluhan nila - or rather, ninakaw niya. Ilang oras na rin ang nakakaraan pero pakiramdam niya huminto na ang panahon nang talikuran siya ng lalaki para bumalik sa tabi ng karibal. Nakakatawa na nakakaasar, ni hindi man lang siya nakaporma pa sa mga susunod na balak pero checkmate agad. "Toast! Para sa mga aanga-aangang girls!" She laughed bitterly while raising the bottle of Margarita in her hand. With the party happening some valid meters away and the Mangino's parking lot being as empty as her broken heart, wala naman sigurong sasaway sa kanya sa ginagawang kagagahan at pagsasalita mag-isa. "Damn! Ano bang meron ang babaeng yan na wala ako? Boobs ba Chester? Boobs lang ba kailangan mo!" Sumuray siya ng konti nang subukan niyang tumayo mula sa nakausling ugat ng punong kinauupuan. Nahihilo na siya, pero binalewala niy

    "KIM, give me the keys. I'm taking you ---shit!" Kimberly smiled when she heard the door open. Pinilit niyang ibukas ang mga mata pero talagang namimigat ng todo ang mga talukap noon. Nevertheless, malinaw pa rin sa kanya ang rason kung bakit siya nakahiga sa backseat ng sariling sasakyan. She purred, trying her best to lift her drunk self to sat. Tapos, pinakiramdam niya kung anong magiging reaksyon ng lalaking kaharap. With just the light from her phone giving her skin that beautiful glow and the hem of red gown now rolled around her waist, ramdam na ramdam niya ang pagkapahiya sa sitwasyon. Pero nandito na eh, huling baraha na niya ito. 'This is it, Kimberly. You have to do this'. Pangungumbinsi niya pa sa sarili nang marahan niyang paghiwalayin ang mga hita para ipakita rito ang kaseryosohan niya. Kinilabutan siya sa humaplos na lamig sa kanyang pagkababae. It took her a lot of guts, not to mention a bottle of Margarita, to come up with this plan. This was nothing but a craz

    KIMBERLY WOKE up with the most uncomfortable headache. The need to bang her head against something was rising from her skull. Her body felt heavy and her warm bed was just too inviting to resist. Patamad na siniksik niya ang sarili sa pinakamatigas na unan na kanyang nagamit. Naghihikab na hinatak niya ang kumot para sana magtalukbong nang mapasimangot siya bigla dahil umakyat din ang dulo noon hanggang sa ibabaw ng kanyang baywang. "Ang iksi..." wala sa sariling reklamo niya habang nakapikit. Mabagal siyang kumilos para hatakin naman sana pababa ang malambot na tela nang kusa iyong dumausdos sa kanyang balat. Her eyes opened in shock. Lumagabog bigla ang puso niya nang maramdaman niyang gumalaw ang hinihigaan niyang kama para ayusin ang pagkakatakip ng ibabang bahagi ng kanyang likuran kasunod ng magaan na himas at pisil - sa pisngi ng kanyang p'wet? ‘O.M.G!’ Agad na kumilos ang mga kamay niya para makipagkapaan. Tulala pa rin siya sa pagkakatitig sa likod ng driver's seat nang

    "WHAT THE EFF, Baby--" "Get dressed!" Binalewala ni Kimberly ang gulat na ekspresyon ng lalaki sa backseat nang tumama sa mukha nito ang pantalong binato niya. Hindi na siya nag-aksaya ng panahon nang mabilis na yumukod para hanapin ang panty na kung saan nalang din niya initsa nang malasing kagabi. ‘Panty! Don't cause me delays!’ Ilang segundo na rin siyang naghahanap sa harapan ng kotse nang may makita siyang itim na tela sa ilalim ng shotgun seat. She dove and mindlessly yanked it with only one goal inside her mind, which was to cover her swollen femininity from Jace . "Baby, you have the sexiest ass I laid my eyes on. Can I take you from behind--" "Tanggalin mo nga 'yang tingin mo sa likuran ko." "Anong gusto mong gawin ko eh tumuwad ka d'yan?" Kimberly felt her cheeks turn hot with that blatant statement. It was just then that she realized how th

    "SAY IT." Kimberly felt her knees buckled when his minty breath touched her face. Mas naidiin niya ang sarili sa pagkakasandal sa pader bago wala sa loob na binasa ng sariling dila ang ibabang labi. Not having to see this man for three months then suddenly finding herself standing before him again, made her toes curl. "I-I love you, Jace." "One more." She inhaled deep and his manly scent made her a bit tipsy. Just like a drop of wine straight to her brain. Dama niya ang nanunuot na titig nito sa kanyang mukha. "I-I love you." "I want your eyes on me while you're saying it." Marahan nitong inangat ng mga daliri ang kanyang baba hanggang magtama ang kanilang mga paningin. Mas nilapat pa nito ang katawan sa kanya hanggang kusang maghiwalay ang kanyang mga binti sa ilalim ng suot para bigyan ng espasyo ang tuhod nito. "Say it, Baby." "I-I love...

    HAPPY WEDDING day, Baby." Kimberly felt her knees go weak with how murderously soft Jace was kissing her. He lightly bit her lower lips and then run his tongue on it. Kusang napakapit ang mga palad niya sa malalapad na balikat ng kaharap. The world suddenly felt like swirling beneath her feet. Naghahalo ang malamig at mainit na pakiramdam sa kanyang kaibuturan sa paraang hindi kayang intindihin ng kanyang isip. "Close your eyes and kiss back." Muli nitong pinaglapat ang mga labi nila, ngunit tulad kanina ay hindi niya nagawang makagalaw at nanatili lang na parang tuod sa harap nito. "Damn it." Dumiin ang mga daliri nito sa kanyang pisngi. She saw his eyes went notches darker, kabaligtaran sa ngiti sa labi nito na hindi mabawasan man lang. "I know that you don't want this. I don't fuck*ng want this either. Don't act like you're the victim out here, Bitch." ‘How can he be such a beautiful contradiction? Acting like he loves

    Jace watched the smoke he puffed vanish in the dark. Patamad na sinandal niya ang sarili sa pader bago sinuyod ng tingin ang madilim na likod ng restaurant. What a wrong move though, because aside from the cold and hollow parking area before him, napadako ang paningin niya sa kapehong lugar kung saan sila nagkaaway -or rather, nag-make-out ni Kimberly kanina. "What have you done to yourself?" Bumaba ang kanyang paningin sa eskandalosong umbok sa suot na trouser. He breathed deep to calm himself. Kimberly's effect on him was maddening. Hanggang sa mga oras na yon ay di mawala sa kanyang dila ang lasa nito. Her soft breast inside his mouth was carving tattoos on his tongue making every second torturous. He craved her. She could easily starve him and make him want to own her endless, hanggang mamaos sila ulit gaya noong una. Hanggang magising sila ng sumunod na araw at mapagtantong... nagkamali lang pala

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!

    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.

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.

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.

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.

    "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
