CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
I’m old enough to stay late. Napairap ako sa ere. Inubos ko ang laman ng cup of chocolate ni Manang. Well, she was looking at me the whole time. After finishing the cup, I kissed her good night.
I realized, even if I felt incomplete growing up. Kahit kailan, hindi ko nagawang makilala ang mom ko, while with my Dad, I felt neglected. He can’t get his actions right to make me feel loved. But now I know, he loved me in his own way.
I am still lucky to have Manang. She’s my go-to person and she never left me like everybody else did. She never judged me for what society portrayed me to be.
With that, I am so lucky.
The rumors kept circulating after my confrontation the last time. It isn’t just rumor. A part of it was true, but not completely. And honestly, I don’t care anymore. Wala rin akong pakialam kung i-boycott nila ang Reign’s Realm
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR I went back to my station. Inirapan ko siya nang makabalik ako sa ginagawa ko. Binudburan ko ng konting flour ang dough. Isinalang ko iyon sa pasta maker. I just waited for its magic to be done. “Sioux, will you please cut the onions into small pieces? As in very small. Hurry!” muling tawag ko sa kanya. Nilagay ko ang butter sa mainit na pan, I let it melt for a minute. Hinihintay ko lang na matunaw iyon, ilalagay ko na ang garlic. Sioux was beside me, he was cutting the onions into small pieces. Napasulyap ako sa ginagawa niya. Nakagat ko ang labi ko. The onions looked like they were massacred. I felt bad for them. Imbes na cube iyong cut noong onions, irregular shape ang kinalabasan noon. “Oh my God, unbelievable!” I was unable to hide my amused smirk. Mukhang wala talaga siyang ideya sa ginagawa niya. Probably, all his life, he never experienced this. Ma
CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE Six months later… Paris, France “Congratulations, mademoiselle. That was a blast.” Ms. Archambeau followed me to the doorway and handed me my coat. She was referring to my international fashion show held in Carrousel du Louvre, Paris last month. It was certainly a blast. Hanggang ngayon talk of the town pa rin ang fashion show. Dumalo ang ilang malalaking pangalan sa industriya. People can’t take their eyes off my creations. They were totally blown away. I am quite impressed. Sa dami ng naging fashion shows ko, ngayon lang nag-sink in ang satisfaction. I wore the coat when I stepped outside the hotel. The weather is good today, and I am planning to walk around the city and visit the tourist attractions for the last time. Babalik na ako ng Pilipinas kinabukasan
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX I want to throw myself in the bed when I get inside the room. Naglakad ako kanina, and it was tiring but really fun. I inserted my keycard. The door opened. Nagulantang ako ng tuluyan akong makapasok ng hotel room. My two luggage is on the bed. Someone was definitely here. I checked the closet first. There are couple of dresses there, but most of them were gone. Bumaling ako sa dalawang luggage ko sa kama. On top of one of them, I found a bouquet of purple tulips. I knew who the culprit is. Nawala iyong kaba ko sa dibdib. Kinuha ko ang bouquet, there was a note. Have a safe flight tomorrow, babe. I miss you terribly. Kept my promise of distancing myself for SIX FUCKING MONTHS. I packed your things while you were out. You’d be in trouble packing all your stuffs, they are too many. I took the o
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN He dropped the bomb like it was nothing. Anong ginagawa niya roon? I don’t know what to think. Ayokong magpanic but that’s exactly what I am feeling. Bakit nasa morgue si Sioux? He’s giving me an anxiety. I want to think positively, but what’s even positive in the morgue? I felt my body became numb. It can’t be. It can’t happen. “What is he doing there?” I asked wearily. “What do you think he’s doing there? Why does a person stay in the morgue?” he asked back. “He was targeted by unknown entity when he came back here.” My heart sank. It stopped beating for a second. Hindi ako makapaniwalang napatingin sa kawalan. Natulala ako. Parang nag-shut down ang utak ko. It doesn’t want to entertain any information anymore. I can’t accept it just like that! Sunod - sunod ang patak ng luha ko. It is not happening. Kahapon lang, he left me crooke
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT (SPG) Again. I woke up in an empty bed. There is no Sioux Kyros Centauri beside me. He’s always been MIA early in the morning. Most of the time, he would be so up early trying to learn how to cook which is very hopeless. He almost burned the whole kitchen twice. He’s a fast learner but not with cooking. Talagang napapa-face palm ako. I had acquired a new habit while I was with him, I throw the kaldero, its takip and the pan to him whenever he irritates me and it is very often. I know for sure, one day, mauubos ang kasangkapan namin sa pinaggagawa niya. It wasn’t healthy for most couples, but well, it became normal to us. Tuwang - tuwa pa siya kapag asar na asar ako. Some mornings, kaharap niya ang video games niya umagang - umaga. It’s starting to annoy me as well. Hinahayaan ko na lang minsan. Hindi ako natuloy sa pag-uwi ng mansyon ni Daddy. Natagpuan ko
CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE Patakbo akong nagtungo sa comfort room. The banyo in our cabin has a connected hot spring jacuzzi. Binuksan ko ang shower. I let the water pour in my body to rinse the malagkit feeling. I cleaned my face with a towel after. Nag-toothbrush na rin ako. Ngayon ko lang naramdamang ang sakit sa panga nang ginawa kong pagpapaligaya sa kanya. Tapos sa mukha ko nag-burst iyong seeds niya when it should be inside. Where inside? On my mouth or my inside to make a new life? Napailing ako sa naisip ko. But the thing is, sayang iyong sperm. On the other hand, semen is good for someone who aims to have clear skin. Hinawi ko ang curtains na tumatahob sa parte ng hot spring jacuzzi. Outside, I could see the clear sky and the ocean. It has a bit of nature vibe with green plants everywhere. It occupied a lot of space. The water is very warm and it was calming my inside. Conn
CHAPTER SEVENTY He started the engine and drove me home. Mabagal lang ang takbo noon. Panaka - naka kaming nag-uusap habang nasa Chevrolet Corvette, he would ask me about my Paris life like he didn’t know anything about it. Sigurado naman akong nakasunod siya sa akin most of the time. Nakaramdam ako ng antok kaya binuhay ko ang stereo habang nasa daan kami. Animal of The Cab is currently playing in the background. I really think that the lyrics suit them well the Alphas or whatever they call themselves. My heart may be missing But my hands will make up for it Don’t think this is innocent I’ll sink my teeth right into it My eyes and my mouth agree You’ll be coming home with me ‘Cause girl you know, ‘cause girl you know
CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE “Ay, nako, Sioux! Dapat matuto ka niyan. Paborito niya iyang spaghetti. Kahit anong oras man iyan, pwede niyang kainin. Tapos ang ube jam, dapat sa french brid lang. Alam mo bang mangga at ube jam ang pinaglihian niya noon sa bebe namin. Ay, hindi ganyan! Maliliit dapat ang gayat at saka dice dapat!” Rinig na rinig ko ang boses ni Manang na minamanduhan si Sioux sa hagdan pa lang. Damn, I know she’s trying to teach Sioux the basic cooking and my comfort food, but well, it’s Sioux. Kunot na naman ang kanyang noo nang maabutan ko sa counter kasama si Manang. He was cutting some ingredients. “Good morning, babe. How’s your sleep?” Nakita ko ang pagngisi niya kahit hindi siya diretsong nakatingin sa akin. Napailing ako. Ngising - aso na naman ang gago. Sa mansyon kami natulog and Manang insisted that we must take different rooms. I stayed in my room, sa guest

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.
