2024-10-29 19:42:56Gustuhin ko man na iiwas ang tingin ko kay Eli ay hindi ko magawa. Gustuhin ko man na takasan ang mga tanong niya ngunit para akong na-estatwa sa aking kinatatayuan.
I can't find the right word to say. What's clear in my mind is that I was startled when Eli totally found out about that confidential secret I used to hide from him.
But the question is, how did he know?
"I won't get any answer from you kung tititigan mo lang ako. Magi, I want the truth!" He raised his voice at me as a sign that he's slowly being irritated.
I let out a heavy sigh. "All of that was true. Na-diagnosed si Lola na mayroong Alzheimer's disease at totoo rin na si Dylan ang kinikilala niyang apo.
That'

"Best wishes sa kanila!" I faked a laugh, trying hard myself to sound normal. "No lies, they are perfectly matched for each other, 'di ba?"I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from crying. I was damn exhausted from crying, at sawang-sawa na ko.I pledged myself to not cry again from the same person but here I was, 'yong mga pesteng luha sa mata ko ay nagbabadya na namang tumulo."Mukha ngang totoo na proposal 'yon at karamihan talaga sa amin ay naniwalang totoo 'yon!"I came back to my senses when she told us that. What does she mean?"Taping lang daw 'yon, parte ng movie na ginagawa nila. Akala tuloy ng marami, e proposal na. Acting lang pala ang lahat." Natatawang sambit nito.

I didn't even know kung bakit ko nga ba ginawa 'yon but I felt my heart was satisfied because of that.As I moved away from him after that embarrassing moment, his eyes were full of blithe while smiling at me from ear-to-ear."Why did you do that?" He asked me as his smile still doesn't fade on his face.Agad akong napaiwas ng tingin ngunit ang sumalubong naman sa akin ay sina Warren at Delancy na nakangiti nang nakakaasar habang nakatingin sa aming dalawa ni Dylan."W-Why are you looking like that? Could you please close that fucking judgemental eyes of yours?!"Naupo ako sa damuhan malayo sa kanila para sana iwasan na tuksuhin nilang dalawa, but knowing both of them, 'di talaga sil

"As in ngayon mo lang naalala lahat?"I just nodded as an answer. Nandito ako ngayon sa loob ng unit niya after ko ilabas 'yong talent ko sa kadramahan.There's one thing I've noticed in his unit, at iyon ay ang disenyo nito. Ang bright lang kasi ng aura ng design ng furnitures niya. Plain lang pero hindi mukhang plain na plain."Pero ikaw, matagal mo nang alam na ako 'yong hinahanap mo?" I asked."Ni minsan naman, hindi kita nakalimutan. Ilang years man ang lumipas at malaki man ang pinagbago mo mula sa dati, my heart still recognized who you are."Siguro isang dahilan din ang bagay na 'yon kung bakit mabilis akong nahulog kay Dylan.

"Walanghiya ka! Pinagkatiwalaan ka namin nang buo tapos ito pa ang malalaman namin? Ikaw pala ang matagal na naming hinahanap!" Tita Ellen stood up from her seat. "You should be ashamed of yourself!"I let my tears fall down on my cheeks while I keep avoiding her solemn stares on me. Ramdam ko ang paghigpit ng hawak ni Dylan sa kamay ko, but it wasn't enough for me to calm myself down."Ma, sumosobra ka naman na. Hindi naman sinasadya ni Magi 'yon!" Dylan tried to defend me."Ano'ng hindi sinasadya?" Tiningnan ako ni Tita Ellen sa mata. "Malakas ang pagtulak sa iyo ng babaeng ito kaya ano'ng hindi sinasadya? Pwede bang 'wag niyo akong gawing tanga!""Kaya pala ang weird no'ng sinabi niyo sa amin na nag-d-date na pala kayong dalawa.

"Ano kamo? Hindi lang basta aksidente ang nangyari kundi may pumatay sa Lola mo?"I just nodded at Delancy as a response. I was about to grab a taxi when suddenly, nakasalubong ko si Delancy habang papalabas ako ng police station."That's what the lawyer said," I replied.Once I finally catch who the culprit was, pagbabayarin ko siya ng todo. That person don't deserve a freedom --- kailangan niyang managot sa batas at bigyan ng hustisya ang pagkamatay ni Lola."What's your plan now?"I sip a cup of coffee before I mumble. "You know how much I hate reading mystery thrillers. Bukod sa nakakainis, nakakabobo pa.But for the sake of my

My eyes went wide. "A-Ano kamo?" I asked Trisha.The smirk planted on her face still doesn't fade which add-up the annoyment I'm feeling right now.Hindi ba talaga siya titigil sa kakangisi nang gano'n? Baka punitin ko na talaga ang labi niya para hindi na talaga niya maulit 'yan!She steps forward and leans her face closer to me. "Kilala ko kung sino ang pumatay sa Lola mo.""S-Sino?" At this moment, parang biglang nanghina ang mga tuhod ko sa narinig.Hindi man ako sure kung totoo ang sinasabi niya o pina-prank niya lang ako, e wala na akong pakialam. This time, I'm dying-hard to know the truth."Seek for yourself," 'yon

"Hindi ko alam," ang tanging nasabi ni Dylan habang siya ay tulala rin sa bagay na hawak ni Alec."No offense meant, bro. Pero kasi, you owned this thing and, all of a sudden, nakita natin ito na nandito --- kung saan may ganitong nangyari.I mean, walang ibang tao na pwedeng ituro kung sino ang may gawa nito kundi ang nagmamay-ari ng bracelet na ito." Sambit ni Alec while glancing at Dylan. "Bro, kung hindi ikaw, paano mapupunta sa lugar na 'to ang isang bagay na pagmamay-ari mo?"I agree with Alec. There's no one who we should suspect about this matter except from the person who owned the bracelet --- which happened to be Dylan.Maski ako ay hindi lubos na mapaniwalaan ang mga nangyayari, yet I don't want to jump into conclusion han

Sinong demonyo naman ang nasa likod ng cheap na pasabog na 'yon? Hanggang sa makarating ako sa unit ko, that's the only thing I've thinking of.Imposible naman kasing mga faculty members ang may pakana no'n, 'cause why on Earth they will make a treasure hunt activity tapos kalansay lang naman ng tao ang laman no'n?Siraulo ba sila?There's no way that the facilitators of the game did that, dahil sigurado akong may ibang tao ang gumawa no'n.Things like this started right after Trisha entered the story. Nagkabuhol-buhol na ang sinulid ng buhay ko mula ng dumating siya, and there's no doubt, she planned that explosion who just startled all of us."Walanghiya talaga," bulong ko

Note: This is the last chapter! Thank you for reading this story. <3---Dylan's Point of View:That day was supposed to be the day we are celebrating an important occasion, but turns out to be the day where two important people in our life... in my life, got punished by the law.Hindi gano'n kadaling tanggapin ang nangyari lalo't nakasugal ang buhay at pangarap nila sa kulungan. I thought everything was all polished right after Trisha got sentenced to pay for the crime she did... pero nangyari ang hindi inaasahan.Almost a year had passed but I'm still stuck in the year 2021. Matagal na rin ang lumipas pero tila sariwa pa rin sa utak ko ang lahat ng mga nangyari.Yeah, we're able to visit

"Isang clove po talaga ng bawang ang ilalagay n'yo riyan sa fried rice? Ang dami naman po yata?""Paborito kasi ng Mama niya ang fried rice na maraming bawang," rinig kong humagikgik ito. "Baka namana ni Magi 'yon sa Mama niya... malalaman natin."Tuluyan na akong lumabas sa room ko upang tingnan kung sino ang may-ari ng mga tinig na 'yon... only to see Dylan and my father in the kitchen area. They are both wearing an apron; Dylan was busy cutting garlic and onions on the chopping board, si Papa naman ay nagpiprito ng hotdog.Napangiti ako as I watched them quietly in the corner, thinking random thoughts about how I'm lucky to have them both in my life.Parang kahapon lang, galit na galit ako kay Papa. Halos walang paglagyan ang sama

"Ehem. Pasintabi sa single!" Julia sneezed to broke the eerie atmosphere sa pagitan namin ni Dylan.As I came back to my senses, ako na itong lumayo sa kaniya before I swiftly averted my gaze at him. Walang pinagbago sa dating paraan niya ng pagtitig sa akin --- his stares slowly melting my whole being."Sa dami ng mga nakaka-flirt mo sa Tinder, bakit hindi ka makapili kung sino sa kanila ang seseryosohin mo?" Pang-aasar ni Delancy rito."Ayoko nga! Walang true love sa mga dating apps. Lalong-lalo na riyan sa Tinder! Nako, proven and tested!""Mature ka na mag-isip, huh?" Pagpuri ni Dylan sa kapatid. "Parang dati, naghahanap ka lang ng mapaglilibangan sa mga ganyang dating apps. Tapos ngayon... True love na ang hinahanap mo." He giggl

At least I've got the chance to meet my father.It's quite short --- hindi man lang pinaabot ng tadhana na makasama ko 'yong Papa ko kahit good for one month.Tahimik kaming naglalakad ni Trisha sa kalagitnaan ng gubat. Hindi ko alam kung tama pa ba ang direksyon na tinatahak namin. I don't even know how we will escape in this forest that seems like we're walking to infinity.It was hard for me to forced Trisha na tumakbo na palayo matapos masaksihan ang unti-unting pagbagsak ng walang-buhay na katawan ng Tatay namin sa lupa. Nahirapan din ako na piliing tumakbo na lang palayo instead of running onto my father and try to save him by calling someone to give us assistance.I also want to save my father, but I can't. He put his

My eyes were blinded with a piece of cloth, I could feel how my sweat streamed down my face.Nang tuluyan akong magising, I could feel I was placed on a wooden chair habang nakagapos ang mga kamay at paa ko.At this moment, all I want is to cry. My hands are shivering as well. Nababalot ng takot ang buo kong katawan because I had no idea kung sino ang nagpa-kidnap sa akin at kung ano'ng dahilan nila para gawin sa akin ito.How about Dylan? Dinakip din kaya nila si Dylan? What if they do? W-What if---"Gising ka na pala," a feminine voice stopped me from overthinking. "Kanina pa talaga kita hinihintay na magising, e. Mukhang mahaba-haba ang pagkukwentuhan natin... Magi."Naramdaman ko

"Pinagod ako ng mga batang iyon. Mga boss ko nga sa trabaho, utak ko ang pinapagod. Sila naman, katawan ang pinagod sa akin!" Nasa loob na kami ng van paalis sa lugar na 'yon nang magsimulang mag-rant si Harris. "Halata bang haggard ako?""Gwapo ka naman," ani Warren. "Kahit haggard ka, at least gwapo ka."They're sitting in front of me. That's why I'm able to see how Harris pushed Warren's shoulder sa harap ng upuan niya."Edi sinabi mo ring haggard ako!""Lahat naman tayo!" Muttered Delancy. "Pwede mo namang iligo 'yan pagkauwi, e.""Hindi porke inaaway ko 'yang jowa mo, may karapatan ka ng makisabat." He's starting a fight again.

MEDYO SENSITIVE CONTENT: May "dirty talks" sa bandang gitna. "Kailan ka pa bumalik?" Gulat pa rin na tanong ko. This is a total unexpected happenings --- sa lahat ng lugar, dito ko pa siya makikitang muli. "I never left," he said. Ang kaninang nakayuko niyang mukha ay tumaas at humarap sa akin. "Lagi lang akong nakabantay sa iyo nang patago. I kept my promise that I won't ever leave you, Magi." Tears began falling down my eyes. I couldn't utter a single word because I was stunned by what I heard. All along, nasa tabi ko lang pala si Dylan habang ako ay patuloy siyang hinahanap. Nasa tabi ko lang pala ang taong lagi kong hinahanap. "W-Why?" My voice sudd

Nanatili lang akong walang imik at parang tuod na nakaupo sa isang bench katabi ang isang 'di katandaan na lalaki na nagpapakilalang siya raw ang Papa ko.Until now, hindi pa rin ma-process ng utak ko ang lahat. I'm still doubting every single word he uttered and thoughts revolving around my mind that he's just fooling me around."Alam kong hindi ka kaagad maniniwala sa akin kaya nagdala ako nito," nang muli siyang magsalita, kaagad rin akong napalingon sa kaniya.He's handing me a small picture --- it was my baby picture."Nakiusap ako sa Mama mo na bigyan niya ako kahit litrato mo para naman kahit sa picture lang ay nakikita kita."Maluha-luha kong pinagmasdan ang mukha ni

"Regarding the news that was spread yesterday night, it was all fake. There is someone who wants to ruin my image and it's not new in this industry.To all my supporters, have faith in me. I promised I will make things right and seek the person responsible for spreading fake news."Umagang-umaga ay ang public statement ni Trisha ang bumungad sa amin. As expected, she's gonna say it was just fake news para sirain ang pangalan niya, just to protect her reputation.What a lame excuse she has."Hindi pa rin pala talaga sapat 'yon para lang sumuko siya, 'no?" Delancy said, she's sitting next to me habang si Julia ay nasa kama niya pa rin at nagpapagaling.
