CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
Tinampal ko nang mahina ang pisngi niya. Umirap ako sa ere. Pinilit kong bumangon sa pagkakahiga at pagdagan niya sa akin. I was just wearing his shirt. Wala akong kahit anong undergarments. Malamang tinanggal na niya kanina. Naupo ako sa gilid ng kama.
“Hey, get up!” I hissed at him.
Sioux lazily got up. Naupo siya sa tabi ko habang iyong kamay niya nage-explore na naman. I shook my head. Agad kong inalis iyong kamay niya sa boobs ko.
“What do you want to do today? Want to go swimming, babe?” Bumaling siya ng tingin sa akin.
“I don’t have a swimsuit,” I stated.
Tumaas ang kilay niya. “We can go swimming with our birthsuit.” He wiggled his eyebrows.
“Sioux!”
“What? I can ask them to stay away from the ship, okay? If that’s what hindering you.” he said nonchalantly,
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR Most of us, we chase for a fairytale. We need saving from a prince charming when we are drowning of our own misery. Kagaya ng mga nabasa natin sa libro at napanood sa movies. I stopped watching and reading such schemes. Then, we get burned and shattered by our own hopes and by unworthy people. Reality slaps hard. Fairytale does not exist. Pakiramdam ko noon may kulang sa akin. I know, I should not feel that way. Physically, I am a goddess. I am living a comfortable life. I have everything every person would want aside from one thing --- my father’s love. I always wanted to get his affection but I never succeeded. When I was a teen, I only loved one boy. His name is Stephen, but I always call him Sky. At kung gaano kalawak ang sky, gannon din ang pangarap ko para sa aming dalawa. Nahanap ko iyong pagmamahal na hindi ko magawang makita sa sarili kong ama. He became my world. I thou
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE Pumikit lang ako habang wala pa kami sa destination. I was trying to sleep but even in sleep, I can see his face. I’m trying to avoid everything that connects me to him. “Oh, shit. Hala!” Bigla akong napamulat. Itinigil ni Lolay ang sasakyan dahil mayroong nakaharang sa harapan namin. May van sa unahan namin to be exact. The window is clearly opened. The men have guns. Masama ang kutob ko sa kanila. They are summoned here to harm us. Lolay looked scared as much as I do. Walang dumadaang ibang sasakyan. It felt like they owned the whole highway. “Drive backwards,” utos ko kay Lolay. She did. Bago kami makalayo, they started shooting bullets at us. The glass broke and scattered the small pieces. I was almost hit by one bullet. I didn’t know how did I dodge that. I am thanking my reflexes. Oh my God. It’s real. It’
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX I stared at him for a minute. Well, he looked sick. Worse than his first time. Maraming nakakabit na apparatus sa kanya. Parang pinupunit ang puso ko, alam kong kasalanan ko. I just stood there about to cry. Then, he gave me his warmest smile. It indicates a new possible meaning. Mabilis akong lumapit sa tabi ng bed niya. “Akala ko hindi mo na ako dadalawin.” “Dad,” I called him, my voice became raspy. “I’m sorry,” I said, my tears welled up. Hindi na ako nahiya, I cried in front of him. He looked at me and shook his head. “No, anak. I’m sorry. I should be the one saying sorry.” He tried to wipe my tears. Napalitan nang lungkot ang ngiti niya. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I forced you to be like that. I’m sorry you felt abandoned. I’m sorry that I was too coward to show my affection towards you, because I was scared that you would leave
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN I woke up by the sudden light fragments inside my room. Blur iyong nakikita ko nang imulat ko ang isa kong mata. Galing iyon sa labas at sa sikat ng araw. Hinigit ko ang comforter ko at nagtalukbong. I want to sleep more. I don’t know why I’m becoming sleepy these days. Pero sobra iyong antok ko kahit maaga naman akong natulog. “Reign,” malamyos ang boses ni Manang na tawag sa akin. I ignored her. I still want to sleep. “Reign, bakit hindi ka pa gising? Nagpramis ka sa akin, sasamahan mo ako.” Is it possible to roll eyes while eyes still closed? Well, I just did. “Can I have five more minutes? Gusto ko pang matulog,” I told her, sounding so sleepy. Hinila ni Manang ang comforter sa katawan ko. I could feel the sun’s warmth. I had no choice but to open my eyes and see Manang smiling big at me. And th
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT Natagpuan ko ang sarili ko sa bathroom pagkatapos kong kumain. Manang bought pregnancy test kits and she wanted me to try them. Sabi sa instruction, two lines indicates pregnancy. I peed on several test kits. I called Manang when I am done. Inalalayan niya akong bumalik sa kama. Siya ang nagdala ng PTs na ginamit ko. I just looked at her. “Anong nakalagay?” I asked, I am being anxious every passing second. Parang hindi ko makakayanan ang magiging sagot niya sa akin. “Reign,” tono pa lang niya, I know it is going to be a bad news. Parang mayroong bumara sa lalamunan ko. Napailing ako. “Reign, anak…” She went to hug me. Hindi ko siya hinayaan. “Tell me, Manang. Please…” I hate it when I feel the numb feeling. It suffocates me. Ipinakita niya sa akin ang ilang P
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE Hindi pa ako tapos mag-inspect nang lumabas ang isang babaeng halos kasing - edad ko lang. “Anong kailangan mo, miss? May hinahanap ka ba?” tanong niya sa akin. I looked at her from head to toe. Mas mataas ako sa kanya. Hindi ko tinanggal ang hoodie ko. I wasn’t sure what I should say in the moment. Bigla akong kinabahan. Sa likod niya lumabas ang isang babae at isang lalaki, almost the same age with me. Nakaalalay iyong lalaki. My eyes were fixed on them. Sa kanila ako nakatingin hanggang makalayo sila. Tumikhim ang babae sa harapan ko. “Ano? Hinahanap mo ba ang nanay ko? Magpapahilot ka rin kagaya nila?” inginuso niya iyong lalaki at babae. I nodded my head slowly. Inirapan niya ako tapos binuksan niya ang sirang pinto. Naghesitate akong pumasok sa loob. But
CHAPTER FIFTY I woke up in a white room with a very bright light. Muli akong pumikit, I can’t stand the brightness. When I already adjusted, tuluyan akong nagmulat. I looked around the room. It was all white. I am wearing a hospital gown. Mayroon pang nakakabit na IV fluid sa kamay ko. Manang Lukreng was sleeping peacefully in the couch. Rainbow was also sleeping. Nasa may paanan ko siya. Malinaw sa akin ang nangyari kung bakit ako nasa hospital room. I could remember every detail. I tried to kill myself. I tried, I did not succeed. Is that supposed to be a good thing? Gusto kong umiyak muli pero wala na akong luha. I was feeling the numbness again. I don’t like that feeling. It’s suffocating me. Dahan - dahan akong bumangon. Marahas kong tinanggal iyong IVfluidsa kamay ko. Nagdugo pa iyon. Sinikap kong hindi gumawa ng ingay nang makababa ak
CHAPTER FIRTY-ONE Wala akong ideya sa dapat kong maramdaman ngayon. One thing is for sure, Lolay was right. Kapag masamang damo, hindi madaling mamatay. I am like that. I just looked at the ceiling. I hate hospitals, but here I am. Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras ang lumipas. I lost track of time. Pinauwi muna ni Rainbow si Manang. Of course, she protested. Hindi naman siya hinayaan ni Rainbow na magtagal sa hospital. That’s what I want too. Matanda na si Manang para mag-alala pa sa akin. “Reign, someone’s outside your room. Papasukin ko ba? Kilala mo raw siya?” biglang sabi ni Rainbow. “Gertrude Immaculate Concepcion. Gemma for short daw. She’s your doctor daw? May sakit ka ba?” I shook my head on her last question. I was clinically depressed but I don’t want my family to know that. I was still in denial. Yes, depression has no fac

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.
