Tahimik na nakaupo si Asia habang nakaharap sa salamin, pilit niyang tinatagan ang loob habang nakating sa sariling repleksyon. Malamig ang kanyang tingin at matatag ang kanyang loob. The woman whose fixing her hair sighed."Bakit bumalik kapa dito?"Hindi umimik si Asia. Nanatili siyang walang kibo at nakatingin lamang sa salamin."May mas magandang buhay ka pa kaysa dito, dapat hindi kana bumalik." Mapait na ngumiti si Asia, kung puwede lang ay nunkang babalik siya sa lugar na ito."Kailangan ko ng pera." Simple niyang wika. "Ikaw? Bakit ka nandito?"Malalim na bumuntong hininga ang babaeng kausap. Tumayo ito at kumuha ng sigarilyo sa bag, she light it up and even gave Asia one but she didn't accept it. "Ganito na ang naging buhay ko."Asia nodded. "Wala na rin naman akong ibang pupuntahan kung hindi dito, beside malaki nga ang kita. Suwerte ka na lang kung may bibili sa oras mo na mabait."Napayuko na lang si Asia, she remembered that woman earlier. Hanggang ngayon ay naririnig
Asia wanted to kneel and thank god for making her skip every night in hell, she did everything she could to avoid being sell without getting caught or getting hurt again. Ayaw niya malaman ni Lucas ang trabaho niya she would be ashamed to even show her face to him if he would knew what kind of job she has. "Asia! Bukas na ang operasyon ni Nanay!" Agad silang nag yakap ni Jenna at nag tatalon sa tuwa, ang operasyon ng kanilang ina ang isa sa pinaka importanteng bagay para sa kanila."Sana maka recover si Nanay bago yung kasal ni Lucas para makadalo tayo."Asia stopped jumping in joy, tila niyanig ang kanyang katawan sa sinabi nito. Tila nang hina siya sa narinig they had been dating for two weeks pero kahit na ganoon ay mahal niya si Lucas, noon pa man ay mahal na niya ang binata but she needs to stop those feelings because his mother won't approve their relationship. Madaming beses na rin nanligaw si Lucas sa kanya ngunit sa takot na mag kagulo ay ilang ulit niyang binasted ang bin
Mahigpit na hinawakan ni Asia ang kamay ng inang nakaupo sa kama nito, matapos ang naging operasyon ay ikinasiya nila ang naging resulta nito. Their mother is slowly recovering and that is more than enough for them hindi mawala ang ngiti sa labi niya habang nakatingin sa ina-inahan."Ayos lang ba ang pakiramdam niyo Nay?" Agad namang tumango ang kanyang ina kaya't mas lalo siyang napanatag. "Ayos lang ako anak, hindi ko naman inaakala na mao-operahan ako dahil wala naman tayong pera.""Huwag mo na nga munang isipin yan Nay ang mahalaga ayos ka." Jena said."Oo nga po, mas mabuti pang mag pahinga ka na lang muna."Hindi na nakipag talo pa ang kanilang ina at tumango. Her eyes wondered around the hospital room, may mga kasama sila sa loob ng silid dahil wala naman silang pera para sa isang private na kuwarto. "Bakit pala hindi na dalawa si Lucas dito? Gusto ko sana siyang pasalamatan,"Agad naman na natahimik si Asia sa sinabi nito."Busy sa kasal niya yon Nay, imbitado daw tayo!" Ex
Dahan dahang minulat ni Asia ang kanyang mga mata agad napakunot ang kanyang noo ng ma realize kung nasaan siya, she was in her home on her bed lying. Dahan dahan siyang naupo sa kanyang kama at humawak sa sumasakit na sintido, then she snapped when she remembered what happened last night. Dali dali siyang umalis ng kama at tumayo not minding what she's wearing or does she whore anything. "What a view," Nice body Ms Argento."Tila nanigas si Asia sa kanyang kinatatayuan ng marinig and boses na iyon, her body trembled in fear as she look at the man sitting promptly on the wooden chair in her room then her eyes slowly lowered to her body. She gasped and immediately took the blanket to cover her body. "S-sino ka? A-anong ginagawa mo dito?"Ang lalaking nakaupo at nanatiling kalmado, Asia was mesmerized to his undeniably beautiful gray colored pair of eyes. He has this cold look but playful face at the same time. Ang misteryosong lalaki ay dahan dahang tumayo, agad na napaatras si Asia
Napahawak si Asia sa balakang na masakit dahil sa pag kalaglag niya sa kama, pilit niyang inilalayo ang satili kay Loki dahil para pala itong helicopter kung matulog hanggang sa hindi na niya namalayan na nasa dulo na siya ng kama at sa muli niyang pag atras ay ang pag kahulog niya sa matigas na sahig, ni hindi man lang nagising ang lalaking kasama na tila himbing na himbing pa sa pag tulog. "Lady Asia your breakfast is ready,"Asia sighed, wala siyang nagawa kung hindi ang tumayo at lumapit sa pinto. Ang mga nangyari sa kanya ay opposite sa lahat ng naiisip niya, she thought that her life will be a living hell but she's wrong. Pero masyado pang maaga para sabihin iyon dahil isang linggo pa lang naman siyang nasa Mansion ni Loki, he would leave early in the morning and get home at night madalas pa na nasa private room ito kapag nasa bahay which is she prepared. "Good morning Lady Asia, this way—""Please, Asia na lang ho ang itawag niya sa akin." Hindi niya komportableng wika. Baki
Padabog na tumayo si Asia mula sa kanyang pag kakaupo at lumapit sa nakasarang pintuan malakas niya itong binuksan. Bumungad sakanya si Pietro na tila naguguluhang nakatingin sa kanya inilagay ni Asia ang dalawang kamay sa beywang bago ito nag salita. "Nasaan si Loki?" Wala na siyang pakialam kung magalit ito o saktan siya nito, she can't take it anymore it has been a monthly since Loki bring her to his home. Para siyang ibon na nakakulong sa malaking silid na iyon, Loko won't let her leave or even do anything. Para na siyang mababaliw dahil hangin lang ang kausap niya sa loob. "He is not home My Lady." Kalmadong wika nito. "Please go back inside your room,""Ano? Bakit ako babalik sa kulungan na yan?!" She shouted. "Please gusto ko lang makausap si Loki!"Pietro sighed, hinawakan siya nito sa balikat at pinilit na pumasok sa loob ng kanyang silid. "A-ano ba?! Masama bang kausapin ang Gago na yon!"Madlang pa kasi sa patak ng ulan ang pag uwi nito, he is ignoring her when his insi
Asia was not used on getting help by other people, hirap kasi siyang mag lakad kaya't todo alalay sa kanya si Loki sa lahat ng bagay, he was so kind to her that she actually forget how Loki point a gun on her. Maski pag kain niya ay ito ang nag aasikaso, Loki's attitude us something amusing and scary at the same time dahil hindi niya alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip nito. She still needs to be careful around him, Loki might be good for now but he can kill her in instant. "Ouch!" Hiyaw niya ng hilutin ni Loki ang paa niya, sinabi kasi ng doctor na hilutin ito sa umaga upang mas mapabilis ang pag galing. "I'm sorry." Loki said. "I'll be gentle,"Asia nodded, pinagmasdan niya lang ito na seryoso sa ginagawa. Till he stopped as the session is over, napag alaman niyang dating nag aral din ng medisina si Loki. Bawat araw ay tila mas nadagdagan ang kaalaman niya sa binata. "Bakit hindi mo tinuloy yung pag do-doctor mo?" Tanong niya dito. She bit her lip when Loki's face went blank, mabi
Her every move is limited maski pag sasalita niya ay limitado ng binata, they sat infront of her mother and Jena whose both silence about the news of her wedding. Hindi makitaan ng kagalakan ang ina sa narinig na balita nito, her eyes was trace to the floor not wanting to make eye contact with them. "The wedding will be held tomorrow morning as per my wife's request." Malumanay na wika ni Loki, he held her hand and smile sweetly to her. "Please grant us your blessing."Lineth sighed tumingin ito kay Asia na nakayuko at hindi makatingin sa kanila bago bumalik ang tingin nito kay Loki. "Saan ba kayo nag kakilala nitong anak ko?" Tanong ni Lineth kay Loki. "Mabait at mapag mahal na bata si Asia, ni hindi pa yan nag kaka nobyo kaya't nabigla kami sa balita niyo.""Si Asia ang tumayong panganay sa pamilya namin, kaya't mahalaga siya sa amin sa akin Mr, De Silva." Seryosong tugon ni Jenna. "Of course, I know. I know how much you love Asia, but please know how much I love her too."Asia's
Agustos sighed while looking at his daughter, hindi ito nag sasalita. She was lost in oblivion and he doesn't know when will she gained her self back. Inilapag niya ang tray nang pag kain sa ibabaw nang mini table at tumingin sa anak, he thought that he could finally be with her daughter but he already lost him when her heart was shattered in pain. "Mi Figlia..." He whispered, hinawakan niya ang kamay nito ngunit walang kibo ang anak. Asia is awake but he doesn't know what is running through her mind. "You have to eat something..."Halos isang linggo simula nang magising si Asia sa coma, but all she do is to sleep. Ni pag kain nga ay ayaw nito and he is very patient to her waiting for her jolly face to lit up again. "I know you were hurt but please you have to—" ngunit hindi na niya natapos ang sasabihin nang hawiin ni Asia ang lamesa dahilan upang matapon ito sa sahig. "I want to be alone." I guess was relieved to finally hear his daughters voice again once more but sad to Asia's
BAWAT KILOS AY LIMITADO, sinusubukan na huwag makagawa nang ingay sa paligid. Kung madilim ang first floor at second floor ay mas madilim ang third floor. Loki felt his sweat roll down his face while holding the gun so tight, pinagana niya ang tainga at mata sa dilim ng paligid. Advantage na lang sa kanya dahil kabisado niya ang mansion hanggang sa marating niya ang Office room, may maliit na uwan ang pinto kung saan nakita niya si Pietro na nakatali sa silya at may dugo sa ulo. He looks unconscious, papasok na sana siya ngunit lumabas mula sa banyo si Leonardo na may hawak na mga papeles. "Loki seems having fun running his business." Wika nito. "And he finally get to learn the truth huh, I wonder what would the organization make if they know that Loki already knew everything."Ngunit hindi sumagot si Pietro, dahan dahan nitong inangat ang ulo nito gamit ang baril na hawak. "I thought you'll be a tough one, but you are just as weak as Loki. You better pray that he would come here or
A month with Atlas is nothing but wonderful to him, he smile most of the time and do have fun in a while now. Atlas changes his life completely as if he is loving for her, may mga gabing nagigising parin siya sa mga bangungot ngunit nabawasan na iyon simula nang dumating si Atlas sa buhay niya. "Good morning Atlas!" Masaya niyang wika at pinag haltak nang silya ang bata. "How was your sleep?"Atlas amile, she took her oen and notepad and write something on it. "It's good, my room is huge!" Loki chuckled."Compared to your gigantic room back to Italia, I hope you are hungry I cook you some food.""I'm hungry..." Atlas answered with a smiley cute emoji on her pad. "I'm glad."Inayos ni Loki ang pag kain ni Atlas sa kanyang plato, then he sat down beside her and watch eat. "Is it good?"Atlas nodded. She took her pen and note pad to write something on it, Agustos told him that Atlas used to speak but after the incident with Leonardo she get traumatized causing of her being mute. "
Loki roam his eyes around and found it amusing, a secured room underground? That was just insane. The room is a complete package as if he was living in a condo unit, there is a small kitchen, a dining table, sala set and a huge fridge with loads of foods. Ang kanyang mata ay tumama sa pintuan ng isang kuwarto, Agustos said that Atlas is inside sleeping. It was the only room with a bed in here."Why didn't you leave the country?" Loki sighed, muli siyang bumaling kay Agustos na tinatahi ang sariling sugat, he was seems to get used in this kind of violence, pain and death. Why not? He is part of Mafia and he is the Boss. But aside from being the most dangerous man in the world Agustos has a soft spot for his daughter and grandchild."I just want to make sure Atlas is okay."Agustos scoffed. "Why do you care about her?"Loki shrugged his shoulder and smile while remembering Atlas."I just care and you can't stop me.""When did you learn how to fight like that?" Curious na tanong ni Luhe
ATLAS can't sleep that she jumps off the bed in the middle of the night, dahan dahan niyang binuksan ang pinto at tumingin sa kaliwa't kanan na pasilyo. No one is there to guard her door she sneak ot of her room, dahan dahan pa siyang nag lalakad sinisiguro na wala ng tao. Good thing her reflexes were good that she immediately hide behind the pillar when she saw two uniformed guards. "Make sure to check everything before.""Yes Signor."Atlas once look again and smile cheeky before continuing her takas journey. Dinala siya ng kanyang paa patungong garden the flower is capturing her eyes mabilis niyang tinungo ang pulumpon ng pulang rosas sa paligid she tried to get one but she was struck with its torn tearing her little finger. "Atlas!" Wika ni Agustos. Nag mamadali siyang lumapit sa apo at lumuhod sa harap nito. "Sweet heart, it's past bed time what are you doing here?"Atlas pout then she shook her head tapos ay inangat niya ang daliri at pinakita ito ang daliri."What happened ar
Loki's world collapse while looking at Asia's graveyard, if this is just a dream he wants to wake up and came back to reality. Para siyang baliw na ilang ulit na umiling at sinabunutan ang sariling buhok, then he crawl towards the grave and touch the land where Asia was buried six ft underground. "No, I-Im just dreaming. I know I'm just dreaming, come on wife wake me up I-I need you... H-hindi ko pa nasasabi lahat ng gusto kong sabihin, I-I didn't get my chance to say how sorry I am for treating you badly. Please Asia don't do this to me...""The dead won't talk back Loki, tumayo kana dyan at bumalik kana ng pilipinas. Asia is gone, she's long gone and she would never come back." Agad na napalingon si Loki ng marinig ang pamilyar na tinig na iyon, that voice that he was searching for a long years. "Luhence..."Dahan dahan siyang tumayo at hinarap ang kapatid, Luhence has this cold look in his eyes while looking at him different to the Luhence he knew. "Long time no see,"Loki gulp
Days, weeks, months and even years had past but no one can point where did Asia Argento go, she disappeared in a very short amount of time that Loki didn't have any lead and even the most famous and skillful private investigator he hired was useless. He tried reaching for Agustos Ivanov but he can't reach him somehow, he wants to correct his mistake but it seems like it was too late for that. Pagod na naupo siya sa kama, he bought himself a condo and decided to leave there. Hindi na niya maatim na tumira pa sa Mansion kung saan puros kasinungalingan lang naman ang nabuo. That mansion was build by his mother, it was founding by crime and lie's that Lucille buried with her in grave. Loki sighed and brush his hair, lahat ng maaari niyang lapitan at puntahan ay sinubukan na niya even Luhence was gone. Asia's family was also relocated somewhere he can't find, he knew it was all Agustos plan and he can't blame him for doing those things. He hurt Asia physically and emotionally, he use her
Dahan dahabg minulat ni Loki ang mata nararamdaman niya ang pag kaduling his body is in pain that he struggles to sit on his own. Mabilis naman na dumalo sa kanya si Yvo, he injected something to him that made him flinch in pain."Where am I?"Yvo didn't answer instead he check his IV and leave. Dahan dahan siyang naupo but he felt the pain at his shoulder blade his eyes roam around the room he was in his room wala nanamang nag bago sa silid maliban sa katawan niyang sobrang kirot. Then Yvo entered the room again. "I thought you were dead." "What happened?"Yvo shrugged."I don't know, I was near and decided to visit then I saw you lying on your the ground drenched in your blood. Now tell me what happened? You got two gun shot wounds on your right arm."Inangat ni Loki ang kabilang kamay upang hawakan ang pumipintig na ulo, he tried to remember anything but it seems like everything is blurry. "My wife, where is my wife?"Yvo frown. "Your wife run away a week ago Loki... You need a
Hindi niya alam kung saan tutungo, basta mabilis lang siyang tumatakbo palayo. She would definitely escape this time, kahit na hinihingal ay panay parin ang takbo niya sapo sapo ang tiyan na may kalakihan na Asia's eyes watered again. Naaawa siya para sa anak, bakit kailangan niyang maranasan ang mga bagay na ganito. Hindi pa man isinisilang ang anak niya ay nahihirapan na ito, her vision became blurry in tears that she didn't saw a branch of tree lying on the ground. "Ahhh!" Malakas niyang sigaw ng masigyapot sa nakaharang na sanga then her body rolls down sa bilis ng pag gulong niya ay halos mawalan siya ng malay. Mahigpit siyang humawak sa sanga ng puno na naka usli doon ramdam niya ang sakit ng katawan dahil sa pag kakatisod at pag kaka hulog, her body shivers in fear when she realize that she was almost dead. Konting galaw na lang ay mahulog na siya sa bangin, Asia tried to grasped but there's no use unti unti ng dumudulas ang katawan niya pababa ngunit mahigpit siyang kumapit a
