I woke up because of my Parent's messages. Tanghali naman na kaya naisipan ko na rin na bumangon.
Mom:
How are you, Anak?
I typed my reply.
Ako:
I'm fine, Mom. How about you and Dad?
Mom and Dad have the same content of message, kaya naman halos pareho lang din ang sagot ko nang maka pag reply ako.
Mom:
Have you thought about the exact wedding date?
Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman nang mabasa ko iyon. Pero mas hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili nang marealized na nag iisip ako ng specific date para doon.
I cussed myself.
I will never get married.
I've been bothered by my own principles since the day that I gave myself to Vraxx. I saw and I noticed every single thing that has changed ever since that night happened between us. Ayaw kong isipin, at pilit ko rin na isinasantabi iyon dahil ayaw kong aminin ang totoo.
I am still scared. I wasn't ready yet.
Sa halip na mag reply sa
"Ahh... Vraxx..." I moaned while meeting his thrusts.We were making love inside the bathroom. Weeks after what happened between us, sunod sunod nang nasundan pa iyon. Ni hindi ko na naisip kung mabubuntis ako o ano. We never used any protections. I didn't even bother to take pills.The heck, Xiania!"Damn baby," Vraxx cussed.Halos kilabutan ako sa paraan ng pagkakasabi niya no'n. I was so turned on. He was too. Ramdam ko ang rahas at pinaghalong pag iingat niya sa bawat galaw. I almost lost my mind. Hindi ko inakala na malilibot namin ang buong bahay dahil lang sa sex! We made love in each corner of the house! Wala kasing tao pansamantala dahil pansin ko na parang busy sina Iri at Ira sa Org. Mayroon na din kasi silang patong patong na mission.Speaking of mission, I have one tomorrow.Vraxx started to thrust harder and faster inside me. I rolled my ey
For years, I used to asked myself... Why do I feel like I am a bit different to other people around me? Sila, may kanya kanyang problema at ang ilan ay magkakapareho pa. While me? I don't have any problems at all. Normal ba iyon? Maybe yes. Siguro ay hindi pa kasi iyon ang tamang oras at panahon upang ibigay sa'yo 'yung dapat mo na maranasan. Ang ibig sabihin ba noon... Sinasanay niya muna ang sarili ko, bago ako sumubok sa isang bagay na magiging challenge para sa akin? If that's the truth then... Ito na ba 'yon? Me... being sexually harassed by my friend... While his girlfriend was freaking watching the whole scene? Why? Why did it happened? Why do I have to suffer like that? Why do we have to suffer like that? Do I deserve it? Did I do something horrible from the past? Am I that bad? Sa pagkakaalam ko, mabuti naman ang hangarin ko nang
I'm no saint. I admit that I already did many sins in my whole existence. I would never denied it, but is it a right and enough reason for me to experience this kind of misery?I still believe that I don't deserve all this shits. I know that I am not the only one who was harassed like that. May mas malala pa dito, pero hindi naman iyon dapat ikinukumpara sa kung sino ang mas malala at mabigat na karanasan hindi ba?Maybe this is my Karma? Masasama naman ang mga binubura ko sa mundong ito. But it will be justify what I did? Of course, not. It is a sin. Killing is a sin. No one can justifies what I did.Kaya baka nga... Tama lang sa akin 'to. Bagay lang sa akin... Kasi, masama naman ako. Demonyo at nagkakasala, kaya't dapat lang sa akin 'to. Mabuti nga.So... If I will abort the baby or kill myself with her—Will I go to the hell even more?I stared nonchalantly at the white rectangular pregnancy test that was placed on the sink. Naibato ko iyon
I pushed him. Vraxx was about to ask more, but I pushed him even more. I pushed him towards the door and locked myself inside my room without explaining more. Now, I am sitting on the ground again, alone and devastated. Panay ang agos ng luha ko at wala na yata iyong humpay sa pag tigil. I heard some commotion downstairs, but I choose to be deaf for hours to cry out what I feel. It was Vraxx, I can still hear his infuriated voice downstairs. Siguro'y kausap niya ang mga pinsan ko o sina Mommy. Siguro nag tatanong na siya ngayon tungkol sa talagang nangyari. Alam niya na... Alam na ni Vraxx, iiwan na niya ako, hahayaan na niya ako. I laughed with full of sarcasm after I thought of that. Sino nga ba naman ang tatanggap pa sa akin matapos malaman na nagalaw na ako ng iba? Kaibigan niya pa mismo, tapos may nabuo pa. Nakakadiri ako. Nakakasuka. Dagdag
Ira died... And it was because of me. She killed herself because of me.Tulala ako habang pinapanood ang mga medical team ng Atlas sa pag alis ng katawan ni Ira sa pagkakabigti. I didn't know where did she get that freaking rope. Hinang hina ako habang nakatitig sa katawan niyang unti unting inililipat sa stretcher.Someone checked her pulse. My lips parted and hopefully looked at the Man's face. Sumulyap ito sa kasama niya sabay umiling. My heart clenched literally.Parang pinapatay din ako sa sobrang sakit.Harriet was crying too. Yakap yakap siya ni Diveghn, while Wright stayed beside me. Si Kenzie at Tito Harry ang nag aasikaso sa mga Medical Team. Our parents were all flabbergasted by what happened. Kasalukuyan nang kino-contact ang Parents ni Ira."I can't reach them out.""Ang alam ko ay wala na siyang magulang," Tito Harry tried to search for some Ira's papers from
Sometimes, when you were already betrayed by people who you trusted, the more it will be harder for you to trust again. But what if, that person who betrayed you suddenly confessed that he's not the one who did that to you, what will you fucking do?Because me? I don't fucking know anymore. I don't know what should I say, I don't know what should I do, and I don't know whom should I fucking trust.Ang hirap. Ang hirap hirap buuin muli ng tiwalang minsan ng nasira. Ang hirap na ulit maniwala sa oras na may kasinungalingan nang nalaman noong una. Ang hirap nang ibalik muli kung nalamatan na.That's why now that Iri was saying this to me, hindi ko magawang maniwala. I admit that there's a small part inside me that's giving him the benefit of the doubt, because I somehow knew him for months already. But will it justify what he did?It hurt me even more when I realized that my stupid self was eating me again. E
Mabigat ang katawan ko at masama ang pakiramdam nang magising ako. I was already inside my room. My eyes quickly landed at the side of me, where my Mom is. Tipid siyang ngumiti habang pinupunasan ang katawan ko.My eyes drifted to my clothes. Ternong silk pajama na iyon ngayon."I already changed your clothes," ani Mommy.I slowly rise up. Inalalayan ako ni Mommy at kaagad akong inabutan ng isang baso ng tubig. I carefully sipped on it. Ibinalik niya rin iyon sa side table nang matapos ako.Suddenly, I remembered what happened awhile ago."How's the wake, Mom?" pag bubukas ko ng topic.Mom looks hesitant at first, but she still managed to tell me the truth."Inayos na ng mga pinsan mo at nang ibang mga tao sa Org."I swallowed hard and looked down. "How about Iri?"Sandaling natahimik si Mommy. I waited for her answer for almost a minute. Sinikap ko na hindi magtama ang mga mata namin."He's already gone. Isinunod
Mapang-asar na tingin ang iginawad sa akin ni Harriet nang magtagpo ang mga mata naming dalawa. I glared at her instead. Alam ko ang nasa isip nito kaya ganyan ang reaksyon.Wala akong nagawa nang anunsyohin iyon ni Vraxx sa hapag. Tutol ako sa loob loob ko, ngunit hindi ko magawang isatinig dahil sa gulat. Kaya naman hinayaan ko na lamang muna sila na isipin na ayos para sa akin ang ideya nila."How are you hija?" Tita Daphne asked, Diveghn's Mom."I'm fine," tipid kong sagot."How about your pregnancy? Nahihirapan ka ba?"Umiling ako. "Regular naman po ang check up ko sa OB. Ayos lang naman siya.""Eight months na hindi ba?" paninigurado ni Tita Kerz, Mommy nila Kenzie at Harriet.I nodded.Mangha silang mga nakatingin sa akin. I was confused at first, but then I realized... Ako nga pala ang unang magkaka-anak sa amin. Sa akin ang unang apo!What the heck?!"So, alam na ang gender? What is it?" excited na tanong
Xiania's Point of View."Are you really sure about this?" nag-aalalang tanong ng bawat tao na sasabihan ko ng pinaplano.I nodded confidently. "I already made up my mind, I'll do it."Actually, deep inside me... I am still afraid. I won't deny that. It's okay to feel scared sometimes, ang mali ay ang magpalamon sa takot, dahilan upang mapigilan tayong gawin ang mga bagay na dapat ay sinubukan pa rin natin kahit na walang kasiguraduhan.Worry was evident all over their faces. Hindi nila maitago ang pag-aalala, syempre dahil sa ilang taon na rin ang naka lipas, tapos ngayon pa ako biglaang magkakaganito."Thanks to your Girl, Wright." Binigyan ko ang pinsan ng isang matamis na ngiti.He smirked arrogantly. "She's not just my girl, Xiania."Umirap ako, heto nanaman siya. "Wala akong pakialam."Wright scoffed and just ignored what I've said. Our cousins remained silent while watching us. Maging si Vraxx na kasama ko ay tahimik din.
Xiania's Point of View. "Vraxx..." I've been thinking about this for almost half of a year now. Matagal na rin mula noong trahedyang nangyari sa amin ni Ira... Sa akin. Magmula noon, hangga't maaari ay iniiwasan ng lahat ng naka paligid sa akin ang magbanggit ng kahit na anong maka pagpapaalala sa akin ng nangyari noon. It traumatized me a lot. It took me so long before I recovered. Until now, I wasn't sure if I am already fully recovered. Tingin ko, sa pinplano ko ngayon... Iyon na ang sagot sa paghihirap ko. "Do you need anything?" tanong niya habang nakatutok ang mga mata sa laptop. We're here inside our room. Kakatapos ko lang patulugin si Volt, ngayong kami na lamang dalawa ng Ama niya ang gising, tsaka ako nagpasya na kausapin si Vraxx. "Ah, ano kasi..." nangangapa kong panimula. I don't know if I can do this. Baka pa mamaya ay mas lalo ko pa na ikapahamak 'to. Sa pambibitin ko, naagaw ko ang atensyon niya. Vraxx worriedl
Iri's Point of View: "Crush niyong dalawa 'yong magkaibigan na 'yon?" tanong ni Wright sabay nguso sa Pinsan niyang babae katabi 'yong babaeng gusto ko. Vraxx panicked. I saw how his eyes widened in fraction. "Tanginamo, ingay!" Sinuntok niya nang mahina si Wright na ngayon ay natatawa lang. I chuckled. "Takot! Ano naman ngayon kung malaman ni Lady Nia na crush mo siya?" "Crush amputa," napaismid siya. "Mag bestfriend nga kayo, pareho rin ang tipo. Sige, basted din kayo riyan pareho. Friendship goals!" Humalakhak si Wright at pinag-aasar kami. I frowned as I darted my sight to the two ladies in front of us. Nasa field kami sa loob ng Atlas Organization kung saan kadalasan nagaganap ang pageensayo ng bawat Agents. Usually, dito nangyayari ang mga pagpapraktis kung papaano ang tamang pagbabaril at pagpapana. Just like what they're doing. Lady Nia and Agent Ira are practicing how to properly use the bow and arrow. Samantalang kami
Ira's Point of view: (Flashbacks)"Oh, shit..."My eyes circled in surprise the moment I heard Iri's moans when I walked towards the bathroom.Iisa lamang kasi ang bathroom dito sa Barn. Maayos naman ang bahay at may sarili naman kaming silid, pero pagdating talaga sa Cr, palagi kaming nagtatalo."Oh, open your mouth baby..."Halos kilabutan ako sa narinig. Sino ang kasama niya roon? May kasama ba siya? Are they doing something strange inside the Barn?My body stiffened, I couldn't move with that thought.Kuryusidad na siguro ang nagtulak sa akin upang buksan ang pintuan at kumpirmahin ang nasa isip. I couldn't even think properly, I just realized what I did the moment our eyes met."Ah!" we both screamed at the top of our lungs.Shocked was written all over his face. Hindi maipinta ang mukha niya, pero tingin ko'y ganoon din ako.My eyes lowered down on his... Damn it!"What the hell, Iri?!" sigaw ko.He's
"I'm sorry..." I said in almost a whisper.Kararating lang ni Vraxx ngayon sa kwarto namin. We were about to make love awhile ago, but I suddenly had an anxiety attack. The reason why he had to left me alone, because that's what I always want. Kung mananatili siya rito, mas lalong hindi ako kakalma.I thought I was fine already...Hindi pa pala.Vraxx slowly went towards me. Nanunuyo ang mga mata niyang nakatingin sa akin, tila sinasabi niya mula roon na hindi niya ako sasaktan at ligtas ako ngayong nadirito na siya."You don't have to apologize, alright?" he softly said. "Can I sat down beside you?" kita ang pag-aalangan sa kanyang ekspresyon.I nodded and gently pulled him beside me. We are now laying down our bed. Sumiksik ako sa kanya at niyakap siya nang buong-buo. He chuckled when he felt how tight my hug."You don't have to force yourself if you really can't do it... I can wait," he said in an assuring tone.Umiling ako.
"I c-can't do this y-yet..." Xiania looks like she's in pained the moment she avoided my face, when I tried to kisa her.Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa narinig. I quickly get off from her. Nang tuluyan akong makalayo sa kanya, tsaka pa lamang siya naka hinga nang maluwag. Kitang kita ko kung paano siya napa singhap at naghabol ng hininga."Baby..." I whispered.She's trembling so bad. Hindi ko iyon napansin kanina nang magdikit kami at sinimulan ko siyang halikan. We're in the middle of our honeymoon. We were so fine awhile ago, but then... This suddenly happened.I don't know what happened...Dahan dahan ko siyang pilit na inabot. Kahit na natatakot, sinikap ko siyang hawakan. Ngunit agad din akong napalayo nang para siyang napasong lumayo sa akin. She looks shocked and scared at the same time.It hurts to see her like this.Later on, she cried furiously. Yakap niya ang sariling tuhod at doon yumuko.My lips quive
"Ano ba ang dream wedding ni Xiania?" Wala sa sariling tanong ko habang tulala sa kawalan. I'm currently here at the Flint's mansion. I'm with Xiania's cousins. Kami ang naiwan dito ngayon dahil si Xiania ay nagpa-check up kasama ang Parents niya. Naiwan sa amin ang anak ko, smantalang ang mga pinsan naman ni Xiania ay sinamahan ako sa pagbabantay kay Volt. "Gago! Wala nga sa plano ni Xiania 'yon, tapos tatanungin mo kung ano ang dream wedding niya?" natatawang sabat ni Diveghn. Natawa naman ang iba pa nilang pinsan kaya't napasimangot ako. Oo nga pala... "Bakit? Payag na raw ba talaga siya magpakasal sa'yo? Sure na 'yon?" Kenzie asked dubiously. I glared at him. "Oo nga! She was the one who proposed!" They all laughed again. Parang pinagkakaisahan naman ako ng mga tanginang 'to. Ba't ba ayaw nilang maniwala? Is that too hard to believe that Xiania fell inlove with me? I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling. Agad naman akong
"Vraxx, magtimpla ka ng gatas!"I pursed my lips as I make Volt's milk to his baby bottle. Bahagya akong sumulyap sa gawi ni Xiania at nakitang abala siya sa pagpapatahan sa bata. Volt has been crying since earlier today."Ano na? Pakibilisan naman!" she irritatingly said.Napangiwi ako at kaagad na iniabot sa kanya ang bote. She looks so tired. Lagi naman kaming ganito magmula noong nanganak siya. Yes, we're fine and happy... Well, I can say that."Shh, baby... What do you want?" halos maiyak na niyang tanong dahil umiiyak pa rin si Volt.I sighed. "Give him to me..."Xiania looked at me pleadingly, like she wants me to make him stop crying. Nang mapunta na sa mga bisig ko si Volt, parang nagkaroon ng magic na bigla na lamang siyang tumahan.Xiania's face was too hard to read. Para siyang nakahinga ng maluwag, pero galit at the same time."Oh fine! Ayaw mo sa Mommy mo?" Humalukipkip siya at parang inaway pa ang bata.I
"What happened?" Mom worriedly asked as soon as they arrived at the Hospital. He's with my Dad. Sila ang nauna ko na tawagan nang itakbo ko si Xiania kanina rito dahil sa manganganak na raw siya. Of course I was so nervous. She's just 8months old pregnant. Delikado iyon pag nagkataon. "She's currently inside the ER." Pinasadahan ko gamit ang aking mga daliri ang buhok na nabasa dahil sa pawis. "Manganganak na raw ba?" I nodded anxiously. "Sabi niya..." "Diyos ko! Buti sana kung pitong buwan pa lang siyang buntis!" Iyon nga ang nasa isip ko. Syempre ay inaral ko na iyon nang mga panahong nagbubuntis si Xiania, at malayo ako sa kanya. I still want to understand her, and also take care of her even though she doesn't wants me to. Sabi na nga ba't magagamit ko iyon pagdating ng panahon. "Calm down, anak... For sure kakayanin ni Xiania 'yon at ng anak niyo." Dad tapped my shoulder to gave me an assurance. Wala ako sa sariling
