-(DEAN ALVAREZ POV)-

-4:30-

"Emy!?" I called out as soon as I arrived at her house.

Ngunit nang makalabas ako ng kotse, ay nagtataka ako kung bakit wala ang kotse ni Emy.

Usually she never leaves the house, so why?

Walang alinlangan akong nagtungo sa front door, agad kong napansin na hindi iyon nakalock na siyang ikinataka ko muli.

Emy never leaves the door like this.

Unless…

Binuksan ko ang pinto at ang unang sumalubong sa akin ay isang makalat na paligid na naging dahilan upang kabahan ako.

"Emy?" I called out anxiously, wishing she was anywhere in the house.

Yet, it was full of silence, causing me to worry even more.

Dining chairs were obviously thrown, throw pillows scattered across the floor and the coffee table flipped over.

Panic was settling within me as I rushed to the bedroom, only to see it was empty.

"Emy!" I called, heading towards the kitchen and bathroom ngunit wala ito.

Grabbing my phone, I dialled her number only to hear something ringing coming from the bedroom.

    -(JACE RAJIV PHILEMON POV)--❀-"Anong balita jan?" I solemnly asked while I stood outside of the abandoned building.Humithit ako sa sigarilyo na hawak ko habang pinapanood ang araw na lumubog mula sa langit."Still can't trace him, I'm starting to assume he's using a burner phone to prevent him from getting traced." Sagot nito sa kabilang linya."Just make sure you find him, wag ka na rin mag paligoy-ligoy pa pag natiyempuhan mo. Don't leave any evidence behind pag nagawa mo na siyang patayin." Paalala ko rito bago humithit muli sa sigarilyo."Eh yung ginapos mo? Ano ang balita sa kanya?" He asked.I smirked. "Malapit ko na siyang makuha. Pag nagawa ko na ang gusto ko, pwede ko na siyang itapon." Saad ko bago lumingon sa loob, nagbabakasakali na hindi niya ako naririnig."Hindi ka ba naaawa sa ginagawa mo sa babaeng yan?" Tanong nito."Bakit naman ako maaawa? All they did was hurt and invalidate my feelings, gumaganti lang ako." Sagot ko. "Sige na, baka magising pa to at masira pa a

I snarled ang banged my fist on the table, my body impulsively standing up.My breathing was heavy as those voices were haunting me once again, and little by little I was getting aggravated.Just so I was about to grab another bottle of beer from the bucket, my phone buzzed again, causing me to sigh due to frustration."Ano?" Tanong ko nang masagot ko ang tawag."Anong 'ano'? Nasaan ka?" Tanong nito sa kabilang linya.Kumunot ang aking noo at saka tiningnan muli ang caller ID, seeing it was Hyasid calling me.I sighed."Kuya, nasa Bulacan ako." Sagot ko."Anong ginagawa mo jan? Anyway, hindi ko ma-contact ang kuya Gelal mo, baka nabanggit niya sayo na nagpalit siya ng number." Wika nito."No, hindi niya nabanggit sa akin. Hindi ko rin siya ma-contact eh, bakit daw?" Tanong ko naman at saka umupo sa dining chair."Hinahanap kasi siya ng mga pamangkin mo, eh ang ka

    -(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--᯽-I was busy studying some paperworks in my bedroom nang maramdaman kong parang may kulang…Bakit parang… I've been missing something?It feels like something is definitely missing…I looked at the wall clock, seeing it was 2:30 in the afternoon. It seemed normal. But in my heart, something was missing.Shaking my head, I set my wonders aside at itinabi ang mga papeles sa isang folder bago iyon itago sa drawer. Quickly standing up and heading out of the room.Nagdesisyon ako na magtimpla muna ng kape, ngunit kahit sigur humigop ako hindi mawawala ang bigat na nararamdaman ko sa puso ko.Grabbing my phone from my pocket, I dialled Ameer’s number. Just so my insides will be at ease.“Hello?” Tanong nito nang masagot na niya ang tawag.“Hyasid, it’s me.” Sagot ko at saka umupo sa sofa.“Gelal? Where are you?” Tanong nito. “Kamusta ka na?”“Ayos lang ako, kayo?” Tanong ko rin. “Sina Chase?”“Ayos lang kami, si Chase nasa Bulacan daw nung nakausap ko. Your

Dean's voice comforted me a bit, but it wasn't enough to take this pain away.Not even a little…"Hey… kanina ka pa hindi kumakain." Saad nito, causing me to face him.Those green orbs were filled with worry, unable to speak my thoughts aloud because of this fucking torment

    -(JESCEL THYLANE VELASTRO POV)-~✿⁠~I was having my breakfast at my condo nang may kumatok sa pinto.Hindi ako nag-eexpect ng bisita, ngunit tiningnan ko pa rin kung sino iyon.“Sino yan?” Tanong ko habang papalapit.“Just open the fvcking door.” It answered, and by his voice, I already knew who it was.Binuksan ko ang pinto at ang unang sumalubong sa akin ay ang dulo ng baril, pointing it straight directly to my face.“What are you doing?” I asked him as I backed away.“Nagawa mo ba ang pinagagawa ko sayo?” Tanong nito sa akin habang siya’y papasok, the gun still pointed at me.“Ginagawa ko na, pero hindi ko pa siya makumbinsi-” Naputol ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot ito.“Wag mo na siyang kumbinsihin, ako na ang bahala. Your job is done.”He stated and quickly pulled the slideback of the gun.My heart started to rush, wondering if what I have done was wrong for him to point a gun at me. “Jace, put the gun down.” Giit ko ngunit hindi ito nakinig.“Ako na lang ang tatapos sa pinaga

    -(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--00:30-“Damn it.” I whispered and got up from bed.Hinilot ko ang aking noo, sleep wasn't overtaking my body and I'm starting to get pissed.Napag-desisyunan ko na lumabas ng kwarto at bumaba muna upang makapag timpla kahit tsaa man lang.As I head downstairs, faint splashes coming from the pool can be heard, and curiosity is roaming around my mind as I head to the kitchen.“Who’s swimming at this hour?” I whispered to myself as I filled the kettle with water.Placing the kettle on the stove, nagtungo ako sa may pool upang tingnan kung sino ang naroon habang hinihintay ko iyon na kumulo. “Hey.” Giit ko na sapat lang upang marinig ng taong ito.Pinanood ko itong iahon ang kanyang ulo, just seeing the dirty blonde hair, I already knew who it was.“It’s late, why are you still up and swimming? In the middle of the night?” I asked nang lingunin ako nito.“I should ask you the same thing.” Sagot nito at saka umahon sa pool, grabbing his towel on the sun ba

    -(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-~^3^~“Where are you going?” I asked nang makita ko itong palabas ng bahay na may bagaheng bitbit.“Aalis na ako, may kailangan akong asikasuhin.” Sagot nito.“Anong aasikasuhin mo? Trabaho o babae mo?” Tanong ko na nakapag-patigil rito.“Ano?” Tanong niya nang makaharap siya sakin.“Oh, silly me.” I answered and laughed softly. “Let me rephrase that, what will you take care of? Your work–or my wife?” Tumawa ito ng mahina. “Of course my work, ano pa ba?” Tanong nito.“I don’t know, since you have a relationship with her, you can’t stop me-” Naputol ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot ito.“Shut up, Gelal.” Sagot niya. “Just shut up, wala kaming relasyon ng asawa mo. Patay na rin siya, so why are you acting like that?” “Then why do you have a tattoo with her full name? Surely if I inked my skin with your girlfriend's name, you’d be suspicious about me right?” Tanong ko. “Also, how can you be so sure she’s dead?”Kumunot ang kanyang noo. “What do you mean

    -(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)- ~2 years later~ “Deanna! Halika na at malelate ka na!” Tawag ko habang nilalagay ang mga kailangan niya sa trunk. “Momma, I can't find my other shoe!” Sigaw nito na nagmumula sa loob. Nagtungo ako muli sa loob at kinuha ang lunchbox niya sa coffee table at tinulungan siyang maghanap, at mabuti na lang ay nakita ko ito. “Oh, ito. Suotin mo na.” Utos ko habang ina-alalay siya. Nang masuot na niya iyon ay kinuha ko na rin ang bag ko at sabay kaming lumabas, locking the door before heading to the car and made her sit at the back seat. “Momma, are we going to school?” Tanong niya habang ina-adjust ko ang seat belt nito. “Yes, darling. You’re going to school and Momma– Momma is going to work.” Sagot ko at saka siya hinalikan sa pisngi. “Isn't daddy ninong going to take me to school?” Tanong niya ulit. “No honey, because daddy ninong has work to do.” Sagot ko at saka nagtungo sa driver's side. Dali-dali ko nang pinaandar iyon at umalis, 30 minutes d

    -(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)- ~•~ As I pulled up to the side of the road, nagtataka ako kung bakit may mga elf truck sa harap ng bahay nina Gelal, at ang daming lalaking naglalabas at nagpapasok ng mga gamit. “What the heck?” I whispered to myself and got out of the car. May namataan akong isang lalaking may hawak na clip board, ngunit bago ko ito tawagin ay may tumawag sa pangalan ko. “Yes?” Tanong ko nang namataan ko ang isang babaeng patungo sa akin. “You’re Emerald, yes?” Tanong nito pabalik na may bahagyang ngiti sa labi. “Ako nga, ba’t mo ako kilala?” Pagtataka ko habang hawak ang isang envelope. “Kuya told me everything about you, darling.” Sagot niya habang hindi umaalis ang ngiti sa labi. “Oh, okay. Kuya mo si Gelal?” I asked. “Never mind, nandito ba siya? Kailangan ko lang siyang-” “He’s not here, Emerald. He left.” Sagot nito sa akin. “Saan siya pumunta?” “He left for France, went to see his– I don't know. Wife?” Giit nito na parang hindi sigurado. “Oh– but, w

With no choice and due to exhaustion, I entered the guest room to settle my things.Patuloy kong minumura ang aking sarili habang inaayos ko ang mga gamit ko sa closet, at alam kong sinira ko ang kanyang tiwala– Big time.-(JEAN EVOLET LUXEMBOURG POV)-~•~As I was making some food for Gelal to eat, numer

Kaunting tiis na lang.” Sagot ko at saka ito niyakap.“But I want to sleep na, Ma.” She yawned once again.Ngumiti na lamang ako nang bahagya at saka ito binuhat, letting her sleep in my arms as we waited.“Pasensya ka na kung nadamay ka sa gulo namin, nak.” Bulong ko rito at saka hinalikan ang kanyang noo.The cool breeze kept blowing as I waited, and I couldn't help but feel sleepy.A few minutes passed by, but there were still no headlights heading towards this direction, which caused me to sigh and close my eyes for a bit.-♪-“Emy.” Someone murmured my name, and all of which seems to be a blur.“Emy.” It called once again. “Emy, wake up.”As I came to my senses, with my vision getting clear once again, I

Bakit parang nag-iiba na ang ihip ng hangin ngayon?” Biro ko sa kanya.Tumawa na lamang ito bilang tugon at nag-usap muna kami ng ilang minuto habang hinihintay si Gelal, hanggang sa dumating na sina Dad ay wala pa rin ito.“Nasaan na ba ang asawa mo, Emerald?” Tanong ni Dad sa akin habang nakakunot ang noo. “May aasikasuhin pa ako sa opisina.”“Baka po na-stuck lang sa traffic.” Sagot ko. “Tawagan ko na lang po ulit.”Kinuha ko muli sa bag ang aking cellphone at akmang pipindutin ang kanyang numero, nang biglang sumigaw si Deanna at saka umalis.“Deanna!” Tawag ko ngunit nakita ko na sinalubong pala nito si Gelal.Pinanood ko itong buhatin
