Gusto kong humalakhak nang mag-igtingan ang mga panga ni Terrance. I also felt the muscles in his legs got tensed. I was expecting him to succumbed into my seduction but it turned the other way around.Umiling-iling siya. "You're crazy." Saad niya saka nagmamadaling tumayo and left me with my mouth hanging. It took me seconds bago makabawi sa pagkagulat. Kaagad din akong tumayo at sinundan siya who already exited from the restaurant.Paglabas ko ay papasok naman na siya sa aking sasakyan and he was on the driver's seat. Nanlaki ang aking mga mata when he turned the engine. Mukhang may plano pa ata akong iwan ng gago. Patakbo akong pumunta sa sasakyan at kaagad na binuksan ang pinto sa passenger's seat na ikinagulat niya."What the hell are you doing here?!" Halos pasigaw niyang tanong ngunit tinaasan ko lamang siya
Hindi ko naitago ang ngisi na gustong kumawala sa aking mga labi nang agad-agad na lumayo sa akin si Terrance at tila hindi malaman ang gagawin."Honey?" Muling tawag ni Brianna."Shit!" Usal ni Terrance bago buong pagmamadali na lumabas ng banyo. Akmang susundan ko siya ng lumingon siya sa akin at natatarantang nagsabi ng, "Wag ka munang lumabas. Kapag wala na si Brianna ay saka ka lumabas and go to your room."Napailing ako. Wow! I never thought I will be able to see that side of him. Dati naman kasi, hindi siya natataranta kapag nakikita ko sila ni Brianna sa akto ng pagtatalik pero ngayon, kung makaakto siya, akala mo bibitayin siya kapag nakita siya ni Brianna na kasama ako.Because he loves Brianna. I can't help but r
I can't help but keep on grinning as I felt Brianna's deadly stare on me. At nang natapunan ko ng tingin si Terrance, nahuli ko siyang nakatitig sa akin.Kani-kanina lang kasi ay nag-aya si Brianna kay Terrance na magtampisaw sa pool. For what reason? Well, she's trying to make me jealous. And when I say, trying. She's really trying so hard. Trying hard ang gaga na pagselosin ako na hindi naman na niya kinakailangan pang gawin. Dahil kahit magsex pa sila sa harapan ko, wala na akong pakialam. Baka imbes na magselos ako ay mandiri pa ako. Like duh! I am way more sexier than her.Kulay pula pa ang suot na two-piece bikini na kanyang suot, akala ata niya hot siyang tingnan. At dahil plano niya talagang pagselosin ako, sinakyan ko na rin ang plano niya para naman hindi masayang ang effort niya. Kawawa naman kasi siya.S
Napakatahimik sa hapag kainan habang nagsasalo kami sa hapunan. Kararating lamang nila Mama Teresita at Papa Rinaldo at tila hindi nila nagustuhan ang presensya ni Brianna, lalong-lalo na si Mama na pasimpleng iniirapan si Brianna ngunit sa tuwing dumadako sa akin ang kanyang tingin ay matamis na ngiti ang ibinibigay niya sa akin na hindi nakaligtas sa mga mata ni Brianna.She again, gave me a deadly stare na tinutumbasan ko lamang ng isang ngiti at hindi na siya binigyan pa ng karampatang atensyon."Ada." Biglang tawag sa aking atensyon ni Papa Rinaldo."Po?" Sagot ko and looked at him. Papa as always, give me a very smile."Do you remember Jackson? Jackson Enriquez?"Kaagad naman akong tumango. Of course I remember Jackson.
Nang ibaba ko ang tawag ay agad akong napahalakhak.Damn! I never thought I could do that. Oh God! That was so fun!Lumabas na ako mula sa bathroom kung saan ko ginawa ang kabaliwan ko. Honestly, I am not really sure kung tatablan pa si Terrance sa ginawa ko lalo na at andiyan na si Brianna. But oh well, at least I tried. At if ever na pumunta nga siya, what would Briana think, what would she feel? Siguradong kukulo na naman ang dugo nun lalo na at kitang-kita niya kanina kung paano ako titigan ni Terrance ng buong pagnanasa.Ipinatong ko ang aking cellphone sa lamesitang katabi ng aking kama saka ako humiga. Hindi pa rin mapuknat ang matagumpay na ngiti sa aking mga labi. I checked on myself, kahit hindi ako sigurado kung matutuloy nga ang plano ko ngayong gabi ay naghanda pa rin ako.
"Where the fuck have you been, Terrance? I've been calling you repeatedly last night but you weren't answering my calls. Sino ba talaga iyong tumawag sayo, ha? Babae mo ba yun ha? Are you seeing someone? Are you cheating on me?" I can't help but roll my eyes habang pinapakinggan ang pagsisintir ni Briana. Kanina pa siya tumatalak and it's very annoying. Pag hindi ako nakapagpigil, tatapalan ko talaga ng cemento iyang bibig niya. Cemento para hindi na siya makapagsalita ulit at matahimik na ang bahay na ito. Mas maganda pang pakinggan ang madaldal na parrot kesa sa matinis na boses ng babaeng to. Kahit ang mga katulong, halatang naiingayan na sa kanya kaya minabuti ko ng kausapin siya. I mean, silang dalawa ni Terrance. I closed the magazine that I was reading and rises up from the couch in the living room at tinahak ang daan patungo sa kitchen kung nasaan ang
Nilibot ko ang aking paningin sa kabuuan ng Villamayor's Pub and looked for that one familiar person."Adaline!" I heard that familiar baritone voice calling my name kaya kaagad kong hinanap ang may-ari ng boses na iyon. Alas-siyete pa lamang ng gabi kung kaya't hindi pa ganoon karami ang tao sa pub ko kaya naging madali na rin sa akin ang mahanap ang taong yun. Kaagad ko siyang nakita sa isang table at kumakaway sa akin.I walked towards him with a wide smile on my lips. Nang nasa harap ko na siya ay kaagad ko siyang nilundag ng yakap na kanyang ikinatawa.Nang kumawala ako sa kanya ay hinampas ko ang kanyang dibdib."Namiss kita!" I said gleefully na kanyang ikinatawang muli."Ganyan ka makamiss? Nanakit?" He said. Sumimang
Iniwas ko ang aking tingin kay Jackson. Hindi ko matagalan ang klase ng titig na ibinibigay niya sa akin. Tila may ipinapahiwatig ang mga iginagawad niyang tingin ngunit hindi ko naman malaman kung ano iyon.His gaze is so intense that it's making me nervous lalo at magkalapit lang kami. Our shoulders are touching and somehow, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Kahit ang pintig ng puso ko ay biglang nagbago. Napakalakas at napaka bilis ng tibok nito na tila ba tumakbo ako ng ilang milya.Lihim akong napamura. I had a crush on Jackson before at hanggang doon lang iyon. Crush, paghanga. Hindi yun ganun kalalim katulad nang naramdaman ko noon kay Terrance.Wait. Why do I sound so defensive? Kaagad akong umiling. No,I am not defensive. I'm just explaining? Damn! What the hell am I thinking?
Adaline 3 years later… Abala ako sa pag-aayos sa aking sarili nang dahan-dahang bumukas ang pinto ng aking kwarto at sumilip si Regina na nakangiti. "What is it now?" Nakangiti kong tanong sa kanya na hindi inaalis ang aking mga mata mula sa malaking salamin na nasa aking harapan. Dali-dali siyang pumasok na sa aking kwarto at tumayo sa tabi ko. She then looked at me through the mirror. Hindi pa rin maalis ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi. "You sure are taking your sweet time." I chuckled. "I just want to look good, okay? After all, this will be our first date since we started dating." Nakangiti kong sagot naman sa kanya. "Well, you already look good. Saka kahit nga ata hindi ka mag-ayos, magiging maganda ka parin sa paningin ni Jackson." Nakangisi na niyang saad na ikinailing ko naman. Yes. I am now dating Jackson. It's been three years since I left the Philippines and came back here in Canada. After that emotional talk with Mama Teresita, that's when I realized what I should
Adaline It's been three days since the day my plan was discovered and when I and Terrance cried together. At sa loob ng tatlong araw ay wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ang magkulong sa aking condo. And Jackson and Regina have been calling me non-stop since that day as well. Marahil ay nabalitaan na nila ang nangyari kay Brianna dahil katulad ng nangyaring insidente sa restaurant ay kumalat na rin ang balita tungkol sa tangkang pagpapakamatay ni Brianna at maging ang balita na nakunan siya ay naming laman nadin ng bawat pahayagan dito sa Pilipinas. But I never bothered to answer nor return their calls. I just let them call me over and over again hanggang sa maubusan na ng baterya ang cellphone ko na hindi ko na din ini-charge pa. Regina must be furious right now dahil sa hindi ko pagsagot sa mga tawag niya. Ngunit alam ko na din naman kung ano ang mga sasabihin niya. Una ay tatanungin niya ako kung ano ang nangyari, then she'll went on scolding me but will ask how I am later on,
AdalineMuli ay hindi ko na naman mabilang kung ilang segundo o minuto kaming nag-iyakan na dalawa ni Terrance. Basta umiyak lamang kami ng umiyak na tila ba binubuhos na namin ang lahat ng sakit at pagsisisi na nadarama namin. And when we finally had enough of crying, we sat on the couch, magkaharap, at kapwa tahimik.But I was the one who broke that silence. "I can't believe I will hear you apologizing to me. Akala ko, mamamatay na lang ako ay hindi ko pa maririnig ang paghingi mo ng tawad." I said this, staring intently at him with a serious expression on my face, though I doubt he will notice because my eyes and nose are puffy, and Terrance is just staring at the floor with his hands clasped together. Hindi rin naman siya nagsalita kaya kinuha ko na ang tyansa na iyon upang sabihin ang lahat ng gusto kong sabihin. Tapos na akong umiyak kaya oras na para sumbatan ko naman siya. Pinanatili ko ang aking tingin sa kanya as I continued speaking, "It's funny tho. You never apologized no
Terrance"Brianna chose to overdose on sleeping pills? How about you then? Wasn't it also your decision to stay with Terrance, even if he's causing you pain? Wasn't it also your decision not to let go of him even though you knew he was in love with Brianna and causing you nothing but pain? Wasn't it also your decision to allow us to force you to marry, even if you and Terrance don't share the same feelings? Terrance and Brianna never asked you to commit suicide. You made the decision yourself. Ibig sabihin ba niyon ay kasalanan mo lang 'yun at sarili mo lang ang dapat mong sisihin, Adaline? Because if that is, then you have no right to exact revenge on my son and on Brianna." Ang boses na iyon ni Papa ang aking narinig nang nasa mismong harapan na ako ng pinto ng condo unit ni Adaline.Revenge. Isang mapait na ngiti ang sumilay sa aking mga labi.So this is Adaline's way of revenge. Brianna had been right all along. Adaline is plotting something to destroy me and Brianna.I should be
AdalineHindi ko malaman ngunit hindi ako mapalagay habang hinihintay ko ang pag-uwi ni Terrance galing sa ospital kung saan naka-confine si Brianna.I'm not sure why, but I have the uneasy feeling that things aren't going well, and I despise it.I'm trying not to think about it, but it just won't go away.I looked at my wristwatch. It's already seven in the evening and Terrance hasn't arrived yet. I had already sent him a message and called him, but he was inaccessible, which made me even more agitated."It'll be fine, Ada," I reassured myself as I walked back and forth in the living room. "Terrance is so into you now, and this situation won't make him change his mind so easily. So relax. Everything is still under your control."I was still worrying as I walked back and forth when my doorbell rang, followed by a few knocks on the door, which caught my attention.Nagmamadali ko namang tinungo ang pintuan, thinking that it is Terrance since I did not give him the key and he didn't know
TerrancePakiramdam ko ay bigla akong nabingi matapos ang sinabing iyon ni Lucy. Tila tumigil din sa pag-ikot ang aking mundo, at maging ang pagtibok ng aking puso ay tila bigla din na huminto.I was rooted in place. I couldn't move nor say even a single word. My eyes widened and my mouth remained slightly open as I stare at Lucy who is also looking at me. Brianna had a miscarriage; she just lost her and your baby, Terrance. Tila sirang plaka na nagpaulit-ulit sa aking isipan ang sinabing iyon ni Lucy."You're shocked. I was too, and so is Brianna." Pagsasalita ulit ni Lucy habang ako ay hindi parin magawang makapagsalita. And so, Lucy continues, "Brianna was not aware that she was pregnant. If she knew, I am sure she won't be taking those sleeping pills, she won't starve herself, at hindi siya magiging pabaya sa sarili niya. Brianna has always wanted a child. She wanted to build a complete and happy family with you, but sadly, you don't feel the same way. I know I have no right to s
Adaline"What?" Ang tanging naibulalas ko sa sinabing iyon ni Terrance.Bahagyang nanlaki ang mga mata ko, at bahagya rin na umawang ang bibig. My brain's ability to think has ceased, while my heart, which had stopped beating for a brief moment, is now beating rapidly again.Hindi ko malaman kung ano ang sasabihin ko o kung ano ang mararamdaman ko. I just sat next to Terrance, who was still looking down the floor with a troubled expression."Her manager just called me to tell me what happened; Brianna was apparently overdosing on sleeping pills and drinking alcohol last night." Problemadong sabi ni Terrance, saka siya bumuntong-hininga. "I should have believed her when she told me yesterday that she couldn't live without me; I should have talked to her; and I should never have been a jerk to her.""H…how is she then? Is she alright?" Sa wakas ay nahanap ko na ang boses ko.Nanatiling sa sahig nakatuon ang mga mata ni Terrance ng sagutin niya ako. "She's still in the hospital, and whil
AdalineHindi ko magawang pakalmahin ang puso ko habang binabaybay ng kotse na kinalulunanan ko ang daan patungo sa daan patungo sa lugar kung saan kami magkikita ni Jackson.Pagkatapos kong mabasa ang mensahe na ipinadala niya ay nagdalawang-isip pa ako kung sasagutin ko ba ang text niya o hindi. Ngunit sa huli ay napagdesisyunan ko na sagutin na lamang ang text niya at makipagkita at makipag-usap sa kanya. Napagisip-isip ko kasi na mas tamang mag-usap ulit kami para mapag-usapan na namin ang hindi namin nagawang pag-usapan noong huling beses na nag-usap kami.I know I told Regina that I am fine with my friendship with Jackson being ruined and that I have already prepared myself for this, but the truth is, I am not totally fine with it. Kahit papaano ay gusto ko namang isalba ang relasyon namin ni Jackson bilang magkaibigan. O kahit hindi na maibalik ang pagkakaibigan namin, kahit ang tingin nalang niya sa akin, kahit ang tingin lamang niya na magkapareho lamang kami ni Brianna, kah
Adaline"So, you're saying that starting today, Terrance will be living with you?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Regina nang kinabukasan ay tinawagan ko siya through video call upang ipaalam sa kanya ang mga nangyari.At heto na nga siya ngayon, gulat na gulat at hindi makapaniwala sa bilis ng mga pangyayari. "Well, Papa Rinaldo told him that he is now on his own, so basically, he has been thrown away by his own parents. And since that asshole is now so into me, he suggested that we should live together dahil hindi na daw niya kayang malayo sa akin." I answered while rolling my eyes.Yes. Terrance was disowned by Papa Rinaldo. Pagkatapos ng nangyaring sagutan naming apat, or more like tatlo, ay ipinatawag ni Papa Rinaldo si Terrance kinahapunan and Papa Rinaldo told Terrance na hindi na raw niya kaya ang mga kagaguhang ginagawa ni Terrance, kaya bahala na daw si Terrance sa buhay niya. Inalis na rin ni Papa Rinaldo si Terrance sa posisyon niya sa MI. As for me, it was my own decision
