Warning: Mature content. Read at your own risk."Tell me more about him, Ate. You're so unfair! Akala ko ba hindi tayo magtatago ng kahit ano mula sa isa't isa?" sumimangot ako habang naka-krus pa ang braso sa dibdib.Narinig ko lang ang halakhak niya maski wala naman nakakatawa sa sinabi ko. She's busy putting her bags inside the car trunk while patiently hearing my rants about her unrevealed past with that hot doctor! Don't judge me, I'm just saying the truth. I'm describing him the way I see him.Medyo nakaka-recover na si Ate sa nangyaring aksidente. Nagiging maingat pa rin kami, ang binubuhat niya lang ngayon ay yung maliit niyang bag na naglalaman ng toiletries niya. Sila Dame ang nagsasakay at nag-aasikaso nung ibang mga bagahe.We're preparing to go to the airport para sa flight namin papunta sa Siargao, private plane nila Dame ang gagamitin. Kasabay na namin si Tita Danica, Tito Ramon, Dame, and Niklaus sa pagbyahe papunta roon. Just like the old times, wala nga lang si Zadki

Morning after that, I just felt him hugging me—shirtless, with his boxers only. Ang kanyang mukha ay nakabaon sa aking leeg, nakayakap ang kamay niya sa aking bewang habang ang kanyang kanang paa ay medyo naka dagan sa akin. Akala mo tatakasan, e. He’s like a koala. I spent the night inside his room. Whenever I shift away to check my phone if there’s any message from mom and Ate Vivian—he will roll over too while still asleep, just to follow me. He nested his face on my neck while his hand sprawled across my stomach, under my shirt—uh, his shirt. I immediately get back to my room without waking him up because he looks so peaceful while sleeping, he’s also snoring but not that loud—it’s sounds so soft. I smiled because he looked like a baby even when he's grumpy when he's awake.Nag iwan na lang ako ng note sa headboard ng kama niya. I put my dress again, with still his boxers on. My body felt so sore even we just did a damn dry-hump. I felt so tired and sleepy but I still managed to

WARNING: mature content, mention of violence, vomiting."Did you just tell me that an unknown person submitted a new lead to open your brother's case again?" Gianna asked, like she's confirming it and she needed to hear it twice.I nodded. I grabbed the cup of my coffee, I enveloped it with my both hands just to feel its warm. Until now I can feel the shivering of my soul since our last day in Siargao. I can still remember how my heart beated abnormally, and until now—I still can feel the same. Hindi ako mapakali.Andito kami ngayon sa café ni Niklaus, kasama si Kael. Halos tatlong araw na ang nakalilipas mula nang makauwi kami, kinabukasan no'n ay dumiretso agad kami sa presinto.

My hands are still shaking when I grabbed a mop from our storage room. My tears kept on falling down my cheeks like a stream. Ang ilang segundo lang na pagkuha non ay tumagal ng ilang minuto dahil tila hindi kumokonekta ang kilos ko sa utak ko. Kasabay ng pagtulo ng aking luha ay siya ring pakirot ng aking puso habang nililinis ang inilabas kong kinain kani-kanina lang. I like to run away after this. I like to run away from all of my problems. But how? Is it worth it? It's not the time to run away, I can feel that we're near the truth, we're near to claim the justice for Kuya. Should I keep this on myself first? Kaya ko ba? Hindi...I got too tired and exhausted from where we've been. I drained my energy from the informations that we've learned-tapos ganito pa ang madadatnan ko dito. Sana ay binaril na lang din ako para minsanang hirap at sakit lang. "Vaine, anak?

Warning: Violence, self-harm, drowning, vomit.My head is throbbing so bad, the pulse from the side of my head gone wild, that's what I felt first when I regained my consciousness. My arms, hands, and legs feel so numb and paralyzed. I think my bones aren't broken but it's aching, it felt sore and weak. Blood and sweat is all I can smell. My knees are steady and even I still can't fully grasp what's happening, it's wobbling from fear and nervousness. I tried to move my body but I teetered, that's when I realized I've been tied up to a chair. I hissed when I felt that I've been tied up for so long that it scratched my skin and there's already a blood on it.I slowly opened my eyes and it's still blurry and I'm still dazed. It feels like I'm in a glass and it's cold outside that's why it's moistening, that's how my vision looks like."Gising na ang pinakamamahal na bunso," isang mapanuyang boses and agad kong narinig.May narinig akong halakhak sa isang gilid.

"You still haven't met my sister. Uuwi ka na agad ulit?" Vince asked the same question he'd ask me everytime we're stopping by here in their house.I'm already at their veranda when he stalked me, I was about to go home. Galing kami sa shooting range ng pamilya ko. This is our routine whenever we have free time—usually after exams but these past few weeks mas nagiging madalas na at mas nagiging close na rin ako sa kanya.He's my senior from the school that I'm going, we have the same course, and we became close because of some duties and responsibilities. It's like a student council, but not really much.He's smart, and he's looking forward for me to take his position to lead when he graduated. He's kind too, that's why I offer him to go to our shooting range and have a session there, for free—but no—I really pay for it without him knowing. I know he can pay, but it's just my way of giving back for his affability. I can say that he treats me like his younger brother as months and year

"Make sure to wear your safety gears before we start our classes."I tied my hair up before I grab my Glock 43 Caliber 9mm pistol and put it in my drop leg pistol holder. I just let my ultrasonic earmuffs hanging on my neck. I made sure that my safety glasses don't have scratches before I wear it. I rolled my eyes, sino bang tanga ang hindi magsusuot ng safety gears kapag ganitong klase ang pinasukan mo?Damn, bakit ba pati ito pinagkakainisan ko? I feel like I'm having a bad day."Gaya ng dati, only two shooters and spectators are permitted per lane. Who wants to go first and try?" The range safety officer asked.I'm currently bursting ball of energy right now. It's not my first time, I'm just too busy for my personal life and ito na lang ulit ang oras ko para gawin ang bagay na 'to."Ms. Hermano, you have experienced gun firing. Why don't you try first?" I'm not surprised when he mentioned my surname, actually, I'm really expecting it. They're reading all our backgrounds about gun

CHAPTER ONE"Vaine, you're already seventeen, act like one." Mommy protested before she wiped the chocolate syrup on my cheeks.I just pouted my lips before I grabbed the tissue in front of us. Muli ko kinuha ang sketchbook sa bag ko saka naglabas ng iilang color pencil doon. Humagikgik ako nang may maisip na naman akong scenario.I bit my lower lip before I start sketching.I love to draw, that's my way of escaping, it also became my stress reliever. I'm only seventeen but it feels like I have lots of problem to escape. Tuwing humahawak ako ng lapis ay ang dami na agad pumapasok sa utak ko para iguhit. I always carry it with me wherever I go. It's from my kuya Vince, nasa states kasi siya nag ta-trabaho kaya si ate Vivian lang ang nakakasama kong kapatid ngayon."Put that sketchbook down first, babe. Breakfast muna,"Ate Vivian sweetly said before she took a sip from her coffee. She's already wearing their uniform, it looks like an office attire. Napaka linis niyang tignan dahil naka

“You’re late,” I hissed when I saw him rushing inside. He cracked a smile and ignored what I've said. He’s wearing a denim jacket with a white shirt inside of it, and his necklace. He’s literally twenty minutes late and I don’t know what his reason is. Vince Hermano is always earlier than any scheduled time of meeting or what. We decided to have an ‘oh-so-called-bonding’ tonight since he’s leaving. We'll see each other after so many years again, we don’t know exactly when—he’s a very busy person now, ever since he graduated. He went straight to one of the lanes, he’s already assembling a gun when I stepped in. “I had a talk with my sister,” now he‘s explaining. Wait. Sister? Which one? Vaine or Vivian? My jaw ticked when I remembered the last time I talked with Vaine, I could say that we’re currently not okay, we need to talk. I want to settle with her and I’m really planning to talk about it, I’m just giving her time. I don’t want to exhaust her. We’ve been through a lot of thi

I was too stunned to speak when I saw Tita Danica in front of me, she’s alone. I tried to utter some words as fast as I can but I failed. My brain is still occupied by Dame’s words earlier. My hands started to feel clammy and I’m already sweating bullets. I feel like there's a hurricane inside me, my stomach is turning upside down. I feel nauseated because of nervousness. “Do you want to talk, hija?” she asked as she gave me a small smile. Her eyes are encouraging me to say 'yes'.My lips parted, trying to speak again. Hindi pa rin ako nakaka-move on sa pag-uusap namin ni Dame kanina but I can’t turn Tita Danica down even though I think I already have an idea about what we’re going to talk about, lalo na‘t mukhang pinuntahan niya pa ako dito. I think this is the right time for us to talk, ang tagal na rin noong huli, pare-parehas silang hindi ko na nakausap pagkatapos nung gabing sinabing isa si Dame sa suspect sa pagkamatay ni kuya. How did she know that I’m here by the way? “S-

“Vaine, I will not let you drive like that,” he uttered gently. His hand is brushing my arms, inaalo ako upang lumabas na dito sa kotse ko. Habang ako ay nanatiling nakatulala.“Baby, come on… I’m here…” Nanginginig pa rin ako nang mas buksan niya ang pinto para i-check kung ayos lang ako. Marahan niya akong inalalayan pababa at nagpatianod lang ako sa kanya dahil sa sobrang panghihina.Tulala ako hanggang sa makasakay na ako sa sasakyan niya, he made sure that my seatbelt is locked before he typed something on his phone, he placed that on his ear before he took a glance at me while he's still on the outside. I can see the concern in his eyes but I can’t fully grasped what’s happening right now. “Niklaus… You’re not busy, right?... Yeah, I heard… We’re now going… Can you pick Vaine’s car here at…” Wala na akong naintindihan doon dahil ang tanging nasa utak ko lang ay naaksidente si Ate Vivian at kailangan ko pumunta agad doon sa hospital na tinext ni mommy kanina.
