CASS

Desidido akong umiwas na makita ni anino ni Zeke hangga’t kaya ko. Pagkatapos nang kumalat ang CCTV footage tungkol sa person-in-black na nag-trespass sa Mendel ay alam kong gagamitin niya iyon para lalo akong i-blackmail.

I was busy trying to look back and wandering my eyes around when my phone suddenly beeped. I took my phone out to check who texted me and was stunned to see the message.

“I know you’re the burglar last night.”

What the? Even this person knew about it? How in the hell did that happened? Nando’n din ba sya no’ng gabing iyon? Is this person really stalking me?

“Who are you really? What the hell do you want from me?”

Dumagdag pa siya sa stress ko! Bwisit naman! I don’t know what to do anymore! Masyado na akong pinapaulanan ng problema!

“Cass? Okay ka lang?” Napatingala ako kay Trixy habang bitbit ang isang tray na puno ng pagkain at nagtatakang nakatingin sa akin bago naupo sa upuan sa harap ko. I heard she did not have her breakfast yet so she ordered early

    CASS Nagtagis ang bagang ni Chad habang nakaupo sa shotgun seat at pabiling-biling ang ulo nang marahan sa sobrang panggigigil. Hindi niya matanggap na kasama namin ngayon si Zeke na enjoy na enjoy sa pakikinig ng musika sa nakasalpak na earphones sa magkabila niyang tenga. Gumagalaw pa ang ulo nito na animo’y sumasabay sa ritmo ng pinakikinggang kanta. “What a beautiful afternoon.” Halata sa boses ni Zeke na nagpaparinig siya sa aming dalawa ni Chad habang nakangiting aso at tutok na tutok pa rin sa cellphone. “If I could just toss your ass out of the car.” Matigas na ani ni Chad habang panay ang hawak nang mahigpit sa seatbelt. Halatang gusto na niyang basagin ang bungo ng kapatid. “This day is just great.” Muling sabi ni Zeke bago binitawan ang cellphone nya at sumandal sa upuan. Mukhang wala talaga itong pakialam sa pambabanta ng kapatid at nagawa pang maging kalmado sa kabila nang matalim na titig ni Chad. Panay ang tingin ko sa rear view mirror sa sobrang inis bago ko nili

    CASS "Why? Because I'm a bastard?" This was the main reason why I did not want to tell him what I knew. Alam kong iisipin niya na na-turn off ako dahil anak siya sa labas ni tita Devin which was not and will never be true. Minahal ko siya nang walang dahilan. My heart chose him for no reason so I could never hate him just because he was a bastard. "Think whatever you want to think! Just leave me alone!" I wanted to tell him what I feel but it would only make everything worse. And besides, I made a promise that I had to keep. Gusto kong gawin ang lahat kahit mahirap, 'wag lang magkaroon ng rason sina tita Devin para palayasin si Zeke. The only problem is, he makes everything hard for me! I am no saint. Mahal ko siya at mahirap kalaban ang nararamdaman. What if he did something out of line and someone caught us? Paano kung makarating ito kay Chad at sa pamilya Trevoir? Everything would be a disaster if someone will see us right now pero bakit parang hindi natatakot si Zeke? "Did yo

    CASS "I should have presented to drive this car awhile ago. I never thought you're a turtle driver." Napalingon ako sa katabi ko't tinitigan siya nang masama habang may kakaibang ngiti sa labi niyang nakaupo sa shotgun seat. Yep! Naupo siya sa shotgun kahit pa halos hugutin ko na ang leeg niya papunta sa back seat, talagang nagmatigas pa rin. "Kung wala kang sasabihing maganda, pwedeng manahimik ka na lang?" Itinaas ko pa ang kaliwang kilay ko bago mabilis na bumaling muli sa daan. Hanggang ngayon ba naman na siya mismo ang humihingi ng pabor, iinsultuhin niya pa rin ako? Where's the justice? Bakit ba napakasama niya? "Just admit it Cassidy, your actions are worth of insult. You suck at driving. There's no point in denying it." Biglang nagpantig ang tenga ko sa inis at walang sabi-sabing inapakan ang preno ng sasakyan. At dahil hindi nagsusuot ng seatbelt si Zeke ay bigla siyang tumama sa dashboard. "What the h*ll, Cass?" "Oops!" I turned to him and grinned as I watched him tou

    CASS “I don’t have feelings for you anymore Zeke. Not even a bit.” As we stood still on the ground of the crowded mall, I waited for him to say that it was good to hear or even just a nod but instead, he squinted as he scanned my face. “Are you expecting me to believe your lies?” I was surprised with how he responded but I managed to keep it inside me and then I frowned at him, “Excuse me?” “If you’re take me for a fool then you’re totally wrong. Lying to me will never do you good, Cass. I’m not dumb and I’m telling you right now, I’ll squeeze everything out for you to speak the real words.” He sounded threatening like he was planning something bad. But before I could even speak again and scold him, he grabbed my arm just like how he always did and then he started walking. “Let’s go ‘cause I don’t want to hear your lies anymore.” Hindi niya man lang ako nilingon habang hila-hila ako sa pulsuhan hanggang sa marating na namin ang aracade station kung saan nakapila ang mga kabataan

    CASS I heard his heavy sigh before he placed his head on my shoulder out of disappointment. Hindi ko na ito itinulak pa dahil ang nasa isip ko lang ngayon ay sagutin na ang tawag ni Mommy-bear dahil lalo iyon maiinis kapag hindi ako sumagot. I pressed the green button on the screen before putting the phone beside my ear then I speak. "Mommy-bear?" "Where are you?! Do you have any idea how late it is?" Halos mabitawan ko na sa sobrang pagkabigla ang cellphone sa sobrang lakas ng boses ni Mommy-bear sa kabilang linya. She was not just mad anymore. She was ready to kill me. "I'm on my way now. Something just came up." natataranta kong paliwanag bago pinilit si Zeke na paandarin na ang kotse. "I asked Chad and he said he thought you're on your way home after class! Where are you right now?" "I told you Mommy-bear I'm on my way. I'll see you in a minute." Hindi ko na siya pinasagot pa't agad kong binaba ang aking cellphone. Nanginginig ang mga kamay kong nilagay iyong muli sa loob ng

    CASS “Okay ka lang, Cass? Lumilipad ata ang utak mo sa ibang dimensyon.” I turned to Trixy who was frowning while looking dubiously at me. Itinuturo niya sa akin ang hawak na kutsara habang nakaupo sa harap at malayang hinuhusgahan ako. I rolled my eyes before I sighed. “I’m fine. Iniisip ko lang ang research ko.” Apparently, there was a circulating rumor that our company was close to facing bankruptcy. Walang nabanggit sa akin si mama but I saw it on a site. Pinagpipiyestahan ang pamilya ko sa isang post and they were pointing some informations na kahit ako ay di ko alam. Ayoko munang sabihin iyon kay Trixy dahil labas naman siya roon. At higit sa lahat, chismis lang iyon. But I still need to ask mommybear about this. Hindi pwedeng manahimik lang ako sa isang tabi. “Research? Seryoso ka? Akala ko ba eh tinutulungan ka na ni Chadler?” tanong nito sabay ni tili na parang may dumapong ipis sa plato niya. Hindi ko alam kung nireregla sya ngayon o talagang mabilis lang ang mood swings

    CASS The guys (excluding Zeke) were chatting at the living room like old buddies in a high school reunion. Kami namang mga babae ay nag-uusap tungkol sa kung anu-anong chismis dito sa kusina pero wala sa pinag-uusapan namin ang pokus ng utak ko. Panay ang silip ko sa front door ng bahay dahil hindi pa rin bumabalik si Zeke mula nang sinabi kong payag na akong makasal kay Chad. Panay ang baling ko sa pinto at kina tita sabay ngiti para hindi nila mahalata na hindi naman ako interesado sa pinag-uusapan nila. Ilang mintuo na ang nakalipas at hindi ko na kinaya pang maghintay kaya’t nagpaalam na ako sa kanila. “Excuse me, mommy, tita, I’ll be going now. Its already 11 and I really need to sleep.” Kapwa sila napatingin sa orasan na nakasabit sa pader sa taas ng kitchen cabinet bago ngumiti silang dalawa sa akin at tumango bilang pagsang-ayon. “Okay sugar-bum.” “Sleep tight, daughter-in-law.” Tumango ako’t lumabas ng kusina saka nagpaalam sa mga lalaki bago tumungo sa hagdan para umak

Dangerous people are known for having the most money including drug cartels, gangsters, mafias, and all the illegal organizations you can name and among them are the Del Fierros. A very known family for being the most powerful ruthless people. “I met my cousin again.” Kaiden was sitting on a black leather sofa before unbuttoning his school coat as he leaned his head at the back of the chair. He turned to the sitting lady infront of him as she blew her her smoke while her eyes squinted at him. “Is that why you came here?” His aunt infront of him was the most dangerous lady in the family. You could tell just by merely looking at her face that she could kill a man just by mere looking at her cold eyes. “Nope. I came here because this is Mansion Del Fierro and Iam a Del Fierro.

    CASS Naglalakad ako nga sa mabuhanging sahig habang ang malakas na hangin mula sa maalong dagat ay pinalilipad ang buhok ko na parang watawat. Even the waves were a bit loud, it was still peaceful for me. Habang patuloy na naglalakad ay tinitignan ko si Zeke na panay hagis ng mga maliit na bato suot ang manipis na putting button down shirt at khaki shorts niyang brown. Hayag ang kaniyang matipunong dibdib dahil nakabukas ang apat na butones ng pantaas niya’t magulo ang buhok na lalong bumagay sa kanyang suot. So handsome. My soon to be husband. Agad itong napalingon sa akin at agad na napangiti bago tumigil sa pambabato’t naglakad palapit sa akin. Tumama ang sikat ng araw sa kanyang likuran kaya’t kita mo ang malaki niyang pangangatawan sa loob ng suot niyang damit. “Hey, lovely.” He immediately bent down a little to kiss me before he wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me even closer. We took a moment before we stopped so I already spoke. “I’m done cooking.” Actually, he wa

    CASS “Saan sila unang susugod?” Walang pakialam si Zeke kahit pa lumipad ang kotse sa sobrang bilis ng pagpapatakbo niya. Ilang beses na niyang tinawagan ang ina ngunit hindi ito sumasagot. Matinding kaba ang lumunok sa akin nang buo hindi lang dahil sa natatakot akong saktan ng nanay ni Zeke sina tita Devina. Ang inaalala ko nang matindi ay sina Mommy-bear at Daddy-bear dahil ang huling text sa akin ni Mommy ay dumiretso ako sa bahay nila Chad dahil nandoon sila. Hindi puwedeng madamay ang mga magulang ko. “Kaiden asked Al to get Chad and bring him back to the house. That was my mom’s instruction to them.” Paliwanag nya habang hawak ang manibela ng kotse sabay apak ulit sa gas para bumilis ang takbo. “Ano ba ang plano ng mommy mo?” nanginginig ako nang matindi at di na naiwasang mapagtaasan ng boses si Zeke. Naghahalo-halo na ang lahat ng emosyon ko sa sobrang takot. Hindi na ako makapag-isip nang tama. “I don’t exactly know, babe. She just told me that she’s planning to avenge

    CASS Chadler was confined in a hospital because of what happened. Halos mabasag na nga talaga ni Zeke ang bungo ni Chad. His nose was broken and his lips were severely wounded. Both of his eyes were black and he could mot even open his eyes for too long. Gusto ko sanang um-absent ngayon pero kinausap ako ni tita Devina na siya na ang bahala. I really felt guilty about Chad and at the same time, galit ako kay Zeke. Masyado akong na-disappoint at parang di ko siya kayang harapin ulit. “Gusto mong samahan kitang bisitahin sya mamaya?” pagpe-presenta naman ni Trixy kaya’t tumango ako bilang tugon. Gusto ko talagang pagalitan si Zeke ngayon dahil naawa talaga ako sa sitwasyon ni Chad. Masyadong malala naman ang sinapit niya kahit di naman siya binawian. “So, nagkita talaga kayo ni Zeke? Sinabi nya ba sayo kung saang lupalop sya nagpunta at nawala sya ng ilang araw? Bumalik ba raw siya para mapatay kapatid niya? Napabuntong hininga na lang ako’t hindi naka-imik habang nakaupo sa harap

    CASS I was the one to pick my dress to wear for the auction dahil kahit sina Mommy-bear ay busy rin sa pag-aayos sa sarili nya at kay Daddy-bear. "Is my baby ready?" Mommy-bear suddenly came in my room wearing her tube dress, a pair of white gloves paired with her pearl necklace. Looks like someone is excited. "Yep. Let me just have my final touch." Tumango naman si mommybear nang marahan bilang tugon bago ngumiti. "My daughter is so beautiful. More beautiful than all the young ladies out there." Napangiti naman ako at kumindat kay Mommy-bear habang tinitingnan ang reflection nya sa salamin ko. I am wearing an orange u-shaped fitted gown with a high slit at the right part of my leg, paired with a golden snake skin laced stilettos. "Chad's already downstairs. Your escort slash fiance is waiting." she reminded me before walking out of the room. I just hope Zeke would see me wearing this dress 'cause I feel like he'll love me more. I feel so beautiful tonight. But I still wish he w

    CASSIDY We were now on the way back to our island since agad akong inalok ni Zeke na umuwi dahil biglang sumama raw ang pakiramdam nya. Pero meron akong pakiramdam na may hindi sya sinasabi sa akin. Nakatingin ako sa kawalan habang nakatayo sa tabi ni Zeke nang biglang may pumulupot sa beywang ko. “I saw something that you were holding earlier. What was that?” Agad na nagsitayuan ang mga balahibo ko nang bumulong nya sa aking tenga. I remembered the bracelet and my purpose why I brought it but still, I’m hesitating to give it to him. Hindi ko alam pero nakakahiya iyon ibigay. “Wala yun.” Nahihiya kong sabi at nagpasyang ilagay na lang sa cabinet nya o kaya sa bulsa. “Really? But I saw it. Is it for me?” Although it was indeed for him, nabigla pa rin ako sa agad niyang konklusyon. “Hindi no!” mariin kong itinanggi na lalo niyang ikinainis. “If it is for Chad, then I’ll throw it at the bottom of this f*cking sea.” Ani niya bago kinapa ang bulsa ng skirt ng summer dress ko at kin

    CASS I cooked our breakfast for this morning and Zeke prepared our table. He also made our coffee and he toasted some bread. Masyadong nag-enjoy si Zeke sa lahat ng efforts nya at ako naman itong si pabebe na panay ang hindi pero kinikilig naman talaga. It felt so good to see him trying. It satisfied me so much. "You should eat a lot, baby. May pupuntahan tayo mamaya." Its been five days and I'm still here in this empty island with him. Letting him do his efforts and enjoying his company secretly. "Saan naman tayo pupunta? Hindi ba isolated itong isla na to?" tanong ko bago sumubo ng fried rice at itlog. Unti-unti na akong nasasanay sa ganitong setting. Yung magkatabi kaming matulog tapos bigla na lang akong aayain ni Zeke na manood o kaya eh magtampisaw sa tubig. "We'll be checking out another island." Biglang nanlaki ang dalawang mga mata ko at biglang napabitaw sa hawak na kutsara't tinidor. "Baka isolated na naman ah? Siguraduhin mong makakakita na ako ng ibang tao." Then a

    CASS All my life, I always dreamed about Zeke and I being alone together. That one day, he would finally have a soft spot for me. That he would embrace me and finally agree that I am the one meant for him. I would have the freedom to hold his hand and hug him tight. Kiss him in front of a thousand people and brag about how much I love him and how he loves me. But now, I am not the one who was doing the move. Nakahiga ako ngayon sa kama suot mismo ang pantaas ni Zeke habang mahimbing itong natutulog sa tabi ko. Hindi ako makagalaw masyado dahil nakapulupot ang mabigat niyang braso sa beywang ko at nakabaon ang ulo niya sa aking leeg. Nakatalikod ako sa kaniya dahil ayaw kong ipakitang ayos sa akin ang ginagawa niya. Iisipin niyang kinunsinti ko ang ginagawa niya. Chad will be worried sick at lalo na si Mommy-bear. Siguradong ipapahanap nila ako nang matindi at hindi sila titigil hangga’t hindi ako nakikita. I slowly tried to remove Zeke’s arm but then he tightened his embrace even m

    CASS I slowly moved my head as I felt my face leaning on something hard. Even my face is covered with a black silk, I could still smell and hear something. Iba ang amoy ng simoy ng hangin. Pakiramdam ko’y maalat at masyadong malakas kaya’t lumilipad ang buhok ko na parang watawat. Kasabay ng malakas na ingay ng umaandar na motor, dinig ko rin ang malakas na alon at ang bahagyang pagtaas-baba ng kinauupuan ko. Everything was giving me clues already. I’m on a small boat in the middle of the sea. “Tulong! Tulungan nyo po ako!” agad kong sigaw kahit hindi ako sigurado sa sitwasyon ko ngayon. Ang alam ko lang ay kailangan kong makabalik dahil naghihintay sa airport si Chad. Siguradong nag-aalala na iyon. “The damsel in distress is finally awake.” Muli kong narinig ang pamilyar na boses ng dumikot sa akin. Kasabay man niyon ang tunog ng motor ay malinaw na malinaw ko pa rin ang mga salitang binigkas niya. “Who are you? What do you want from me? Let me go!” Pagkasigaw ko ay agad na may n

    CASSIDY "May tiwala naman ako kay Chad, anak. He's a nice gentleman and I know you're going to enjoy your sem break with him!" Mommy-bear defended Chad after I confronted her about her allowing me to be with him for the whole semestral break. I never expected her to agree immediately because even though she wanted me to marry him, I still expected her to set boundaries. Masyado siyang maluwang ngayon. It was like, she doesn't mind at all! She kept telling me that I should not worry a lot about me and Chad being alone together in an island. Seriously, that is now how a mother usually reacts! "Mommy-bear naman eh! Masyado pa kaming bata! Ano na lang ang iisipin ng iba? Daig pa na namin ang kasal na!" "Eh sa magiging mag-asawa na rin naman kayo! Sayo na mismo nanggaling na may kasalang magaganap diba? I don't have anything to worry about, even if he gets you pregnant!" Nahulog bigla ang panga ko sa sobrang pagkabigla at hindi ako nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. Is she serious? Does sh
