CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Hindi ako makatulog ng gabing iyon kahit anong gawin. Pagod ako kanina and I still need some sleep pero hindi ko magawa. I can’t sleep even close my eyes for a minute. The time I had been here, I sleep like a child. Walang istorbo not even my insomnia. But now, it’s doing again its trick. I need some red wine. Alas dos nang madaling araw.
Matapos ang ilang minutong diskusyon sa sarili ko. I decided to go in the kitchen for the red wine. There’s a cabinet there full of liquors. Puno iyon ng iba’t ibang klase ng alak. Kailangan ko ng pampatulog.
Muli kong tiningnan ang sarili ko sa salamin. I was wearing a night gown. Pinatungan ko iyon ng puting robe bago ako lumabas.
Madilim na ang kabahayan. But the lights went on when I passed the hallway pati sa staircase. I forgot. It sensed my presence. Nagtungo ako sa kusina. Binuhay ko ang ilaw permanently. Binuksan ko
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN I stood outside the door. That’s what I’m doing for the past weeks. Hindi ako pumasok ng kwarto kung saan nakalagak si Dad. I don’t know. I’m not ready to see what’s inside the room. I hate hospitals. If only the situation would allow me, I don’t want to be here again. Not even near. Hindi naman ako hinahanap ni daddy. He had a mild heart attack but he was recovering fast according to Manang. Kagagaling ko lang sa nurse’s station. I was about to pay for Dad’s bill, he’s going home this week. To my surprise, it was already paid. I am sure, it wasn’t Rainbow who paid it. Wala s’yang ganoon kalaking amount ng pera. Paalis na ako ng biglang bumukas ang pinto. Iniluwa niyon si Rainbow. She was shocked to see me. I was too. Hindi ko ipinahalata iyon. Wala akong ideya kung alam n’ya bang andito na ako sa Pilipinas. Ang sabi ko kay Rainbow, uuwi ako. I didn’t tell them when.  
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN “Look, who’s back!” an irritating voice filled my ears early morning. It was Justise Archimedes in flesh. She was earlier than the opening of my boutique, sitting in my upholstered bench designated for the guests, eyeing my creations. Abot langit ang ngiti n’ya. Lolay was already in my office. “What are you doing here?” I walked passed her. Dumiretso ako sa office. She was following me. “Oh, how sama. Is that how you bati kaibigan? Don’t you miss me? So cold!” maarte n’yang sabi. “We should have lunch together!” Oh, here is the conyo girl. Wala na ba akong magiging maayos na pahinga? Ang daming epal! I rolled my eyes. “You’re such a drama queen. Saan ka galing?” I asked her. Naupo ako sa swivel chair. I looked at my schedule for today. Naupo si Justise sa tapat ko. “Sa Paris lang. Nag-unwind
CHAPTER NINETEEN “What are you saying?” I asked her again. I was a bit confused. Si Sioux ba ang tinutukoy n’ya? Probably. I haven’t kissed anyone but him. Hindi s’ya makapaniwalang napatingin sa akin. “What? Magpapakatanga ka ba? Wouldn’t you confront them? It’s clearly cheating! I thought highly of you, tapos palalampasin mo lang?” She looked ridiculous. “Well, if you won’t do anything. Pwes, ako ang gagawa!” I was shocked when she turned to leave. Nagkaroon lang nang linaw ang mga sinasabi n’ya nang makita ko si Sioux. There’s a girl on his side. Kapit na kapit ito sa braso n’ya. “Hoy, cheater!” I rolled my eyes when I heard Lolay. Really? Mukha s’yang palengkera. Nagpahid ako ng napkin. This is so cringe! Lumapit s’ya sa dalawang mukhang wala pa ring ideya sa mangyayari. I almost gasped when I saw her pu
CHAPTER TWENTY “You are recommended by my daughter-in-law, Ms. Sy. You didn’t disappoint. I love the cut of the gown. It really looks like what I imagined it to be for our tenth year anniversary and vows renewal. You added color to my original idea.” said Mrs. Simpson gleefully. It was a cream-colored sheath gown I designed specifically for her. It’s very simple. It suits her personality. Ganoon ang gustong gown ni Mrs. Simpson, I just put some additions to it so it could be a little glamorous. It wasn’t even challenging on my part, wala s’yang taste. But it’s her choice. At least she let me do some adjustments, or it would be plain rubbish. Sumunod s’ya sa suggestions ko. That’s what I like about my clients. They know how to listen. Some clients are just too close-minded, they would push whatever they like, then, they shouldn’t have hired a designer at all. What’s the point?
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEMabilis s’yang naglakad papunta ng table ko. Inilapag n’ya ang tray without even glancing at me.“I’m not judging any of you. I’m not a judger! Pero ‘wag naman live porn, jusko!” Napa-face palm pa s’ya.Inabot ko iyong ballpen sa pen holder ko na may design resemblance ng haute couture. My friend from Paris gave it to me. Ibinato ko iyon sa kanya. Nakatakbo s’ya papuntang pinto.Muli s’yang lumingon. She stuck her tongue out. “I’m giving you permission to do it in your office, pero please lang, walang bakas o anumang kalat!” she said before she leave me with the devil.“Miles Janine, you’re so fired!” I hissed.The door is closed. She probably didn’t hear me.I stiffened, I felt his lips tracin
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO It’s not a one time thing --- those dinners and lunches become very much normal to me. It’s habitual when he is around. Susulpot na lang s’ya sa Reign’s Realm at dadalhin ako sa kung saan. I always went with him. When he isn’t around, someone’s going to deliver food for me. Sabi ni Lolay parang isang community ang gusto n’yang I-feed. I’m letting him into my system and it’s not good. Napailing ako. Muli akong bumalik sa ginagawa ko. I looked at Minerva Hermione. Sinusukatan ko s’ya para sa gown n’yang susuotin for her birthday. Si Justise ang kasama n’ya. Ngayon lang uli s’ya nagpakita matapos iyong insidente. And she’s being feeling close to me again. She knew she was at fault that time. “Hey, Reign, look at these.” Mimi showed me her tablet. I saw pictures of different breed of puppies. “What should I pick? I want one.” &nbs
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEIs the wall high enough? That’s the first thing that came in my mind. Matatag ba? Hindi basta - basta mabubuwag kahit anong bagyo ang dumaan?It is unknown otherwise, tested. Huminga ako nang malalim.Wearing my oversized round and tinted Dolce and Gabbana’s sunglasses, I walked inside a private cafe with grace and confidence. Kahit nanginginig ang buong katawan ko, I won’t let anyone see it. No one.People looked at my direction with arching eyebrows, some are awed. I was just wearing a black button tuxedo blazer dress I made for myself and a Jimmy Choo’s latest pointed toe t-strap stiletto.“Sino s’ya?” I heard them mumbling.The song Dangerous Woman is playing in the background while I enter the damn place to meet with someone. It’s like I am in the runway gracing them wi
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Agad akong dumiretso sa Reign’s Realm. I would busy myself with work. That’s how I cope. Hinayaan kong sakupin ng trabaho ang sistema ko. “Miss Sy, pinabibigay ni Ma’am Justise. Dumaan s’ya rito kanina para iwan sa’yo ‘yan.” I accepted the envelope with a crown crest Lolay handed me. Agad s’yang umalis sa harapan ko at nagpatuloy sa trabaho. I looked and examined the envelope. Akala yata ni Justise kasali s’ya sa royal family. Napairap ako. I could smell the vintage paper she used. Umaalingasaw ang pabangong Alessandrite from Storie Veneziane Collection by Valmont. Binuksan ko ang envelope. Tumambad sa akin ang invitation na galing kay Justise. She’s hosting a party this weekend and I’m invited. It was going to be held at the Inferium’s private lounge. Napangisi ako. I remember I gate-crashed a party there with her. Kinaladkad n’ya a

SPECIAL CHAPTER “B-babe,” The moment I opened my eyes, Sioux was staring at me worriedly. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, and grabbed a glass of water in the bedside table. Sioux helped me up as I drank the water. Pawisan ako nang malamig. It wasn’t because of the air-conditioned room, but with the nightmare I had. Muli akong napaiyak sa pagbaha ng alaala. Fresh pa iyon sa utak ko. Dinaluhan ako ni Sioux. “Babe, what happened? I am worried.” He kissed my forehead, as his arms encircled my body. I just stayed in that position, still crying. Hindi ako makapag-isip ng tama. “It’s just a bad dream, I am here, alright.” He kept on caressing my hair while whispering sweet thoughts. They didn’t help. It made me question my current situation. Was this the dream and what I had earlier was my reality? I cried even harder. I love Sioux. I love my babies ---
SPECIAL CHAPTER As soon as my eyes adjusted to the light, I kept my eyes opened, examining the unfamiliar room. It was all-white. Agad akong nagtaka. Shaking my head, it has been years since I found myself in an unknown vicinity. Traumatic pa ang pangyayaring iyon ng buhay ko, it was weird recalling it now. “Sioux,” I called out my husband’s name. Where the fuck is he in the early morning? Realization hit me, my kids need to be taken care of. Classes are going to start and here I am lying in bed. Sometimes, I slept late and woke up late in the morning. Minsan hindi ko naaabutan ang mga bata sa pagpasok. There were times I would think low of myself as a mother. Pakiramdam ko kulang ang efforts ko para matugunan ang pangangailangan nila, not on the materialistic side. Mostly, the things like preparing their breakfasts and lunch to take in school. Kahit ang simpleng paggising nang maaga, hindi ko maga
SPECIAL CHAPTER “Mamá, I want itlog na pula. I tried it with ate Badiday last time!” Archi answered. I don’t know what that is, but I nodded anyway. “Mamá, why is your bed wet? Did Dada pee on the bed?” my three year old son --- Sion asked. He was jumping up and down in our bed. My mouth parted at what he said. Sion sat and inspected the bed sheet. “Oh, lotion, Mamá?” Inilapit niya sa kanyang ilong ang nahawakan. “But it doesn’t smell like lotion!” “No! Come here, baby. Come here!” nagpapanic ako. They are too brilliant and information seekers. Gosh. Dinampot ko si Sion palayo roon habang naka-hug pa rin sa akin si Rigil. Inaantok pa yata ang bunso ko. His eyes were asking me. “Can I pee in my bed too, Mamá? I am lazy to get up when I woke up late at night.” “Oh, no, baby. You have to pee on the toilet and not on the bed. Dada did
SPECIAL CHAPTER “Good morning, babe.” I smiled as soon as I heard Sioux’s husky voice. He hugged me closer. Ang bango ng asawa ko sa umaga. Asawa ko. Mine. Just mine. “Did you have a good night sleep?” Isiniksik ko ang aking mukha sa leeg niya at tumango. I bit his lower neck marking him as mine. Madalas ko iyong ginagawa sa umaga. I also planted kisses on his jaw. Sioux groaned, in less than a second, he was on top of me now. Naglapat ang mga labi namin sa isang masuyong halik. Masuyo? No, it’s aggressive and wanting more. Mapaghanap at mukhang gustong makaisa. A chuckle escaped my lips as he sought for more. Sioux is Sioux. Hindi pa man kami, malandi na siya. To think of it, we never really dated and became official as a couple, what we had were casual dates. Singapore and Greece. That’s his definition of casual. I was being dragged in different countries. He didn’t ask me
EPILOGUE Sioux Kyros 'The Fucking' Centauri Came the wedding… seeing the ever gorgeous woman to walk in the aisle. I thought she would still say no. But she didn’t. She’s my dream. I am damn happy. The happiest criminal ever alive. “Soks! Soks!” Badiday called. I payed her attention. She has that wide eyes staring back at me full of wonder. “Sasama pa baga ako sa’yo sa loob sa pag-anak ni ate Barbie?” Oh, shit. I forgot the kid’s here with me. “No. Hindi. You stay here. Wait mo si Tapulok at si Lapu - lapu. Pupunta sila rito.” I told her and kissed her forehead. She sat on the waiting chair. Fast and wide steps, I followed her to the delivery room. “Soks!” Badiday called me again. I turned around to see her, she gave me a thumbs up. I returned it with a smile. The bag of baby supplies is with her.
