When I open my eyes, Je already cought my attention on the side of my bed.
Napangiti ako, sinunod nya ang sinabi kong wag akong dadalahin sa hospital kahit na anong mangyari.
"Ma'am, gising ka na! Nag-alala po ako sayo... Sorry po kung nasira ko po ang pintuan ng kwarto nyo..." She shyly said.
Napalingin naman ako sa door knob sa may likoran nya. It was indeed, broken.
Ngumiti lang ako at inabot ang pisngi nya. "It's fine... That can still be fix"
"Ma'am, maayos na po ba ang pakiramdam nyo?" She suddenly ask.
"Oo naman... Ang sakit lang ng ulo ko, medyo nahihilo... Ilang oras ba akong naka-tulog?" I softly ask.
"Apat na araw po ma'am" she said and smile.
"Oras, grabe naman kung apat na araw akong naka-tulog—" I stop in the realization. Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong tumitig sa kanya at iniisip kong, totoo ba?
<Nakakatuwa, nag-karating kami sa mall ni Je, but believe me when I say it took us almost haft a day to reach our destination!Je knows how to speak in chinese, but she can only say 'hi, goodmornin' 'how are you' and 'where is the toilet'! Like what the fvck?Marunong ako mag chinese, but I'm not fluent so I'm not confident either.Tawa na lang kami ng tawa ni Je ng maka-pasok kami sa mall.Kanina pa namin ito nadadaanan but we don't have an idea! We feel like an idiot."Sabi ko naman po sayo ma'am, pa order na lang tayo kung ano bang gusto mong bilihin" she said chuckling."I want to buy it personally though... May pag-bibigyan ako. A very special person that comes in my life." I smile at her.Tumango sya at tila nag-isip. "Si Boss po ba yan, ma'am?"I shook my head and pout a little. "No! But I got the money that we
Malungkot ako habang nasa byahe papuntang airport. It's already 4 in the morning, at naka sakay ako sa taxi.Ngayon ko lang to naramdaman, yung feeling na ang bigat ng dibdib mo... This feeling is new to me.Napalapit na ata talaga ako kay Je...I have this sting on my heart that keeps on hurting my chest like hell."Ma'am, ar yo oki?" The driver ask me. Siguro namukhaang nyang may masakit saakin."No, but don't worry about the shit of me. Continue driving and mind your own business, please"I saw how his face crumble but still Manage to smile at me and nod before switching his gaze on the road.Yung bigat na nararamdaman ko kanina, tila bumaba sa sikmura ko, and with that... I started feeling that I was about to puke."Ma'am, is eberithing alright?" He worriedly ask.I glared at him, "stop
As time goes by, Altazar and I became even more closer.Ewan ko ba, pero pakiramdam ko ay ganon. I think I get to know him better since the day I decided to live in his place.And now I'm here on his favorite spot on the sofa, eating pop corn while watching T.V.Altazar is probably in his favorite room again, the place where he does his works.Altazar is our hacker and our technical engineer. Among all of us, sya na ata ang may pinaka magaang trabaho, or it's just what I thought.I'm getting bored so I decided to go to his office, naka lock ang pinto kaya nag dala ako ng martilyo at mga kung ano pang gamit para sirain ang pintuan nya just in case hindi nya ako pag-buksan.I knock on his door, "yow, Altazar, will you let me in?" I shouted."I am working Aja, just do whatever you were doing!" He shouted back.I slam his
Yesterday, I was sick. So when we are about to go to the hospital, turns out Altazar's car was on the repair shop, so our second choice was to commute, but unfortunately yesterday was raining heavily that we could not afford to walk through it, Altazar worry that I might get sicked.And now, the moment I woke up, my sickness has gone already. What a great surprise.Sa kwarto nya pa rin kasi ako natulog kagabi, I had a long and great sleep.Nagising ako na wala sa tabi ko si Altazar dahil nag luluto ito ng pang agahan namin, tutulong na sana ako pero pinaupo nya lang ako sa dining table para pag hintayin."Zumari..." I called him.Natigilan ito sa pag bati ng itlog at sumilip saakin ng kaunti. He is glaring at me with a frown in his face. "Fvck it, don't call me that!" He hissed."Aira called you Zari, then why can't I call you Zumari?" I said pouting.
Time check, it is already 2 in the morning. Tatlo kami nila Altazar at Troy sa iisang saktan na minamaneho nya.I have no idea where we are going and the hell I care? Atleast now I will have something to do, someone to kill."Hindi naman tayo pupuntang Morristowl Mansion nyo?" I said, breaking the silent between the three of us."No." Sabay pa nilang sabi."But I'm getting bored, I hate surprises... It's so fvcking cringe. At isa pa, we are driving almost a decade! Umalis tayo sa apartment ni Altazar may araw pa, ngayon umaga na!" I complain.Nag drive tru lang kami kanina sa fast food resto pa na hindi ko gusto!"Treasure, we are on duty. This is not the time for you to complain specially that we are with Hellion —""Hey, Zari its alright. I'm a friend when its only us.""Zari..." Altazar repeat what Troy addre
WARNING!!!Patuloy ako sa pag iyak at natigil lang iyon ng matapos ang video at agad na pinatay ni Altazar.There are no other people alive in this room except the three of us, I can feel it.Naka tingin silang dalawa saakin, Troy with his cold stare and Altazar with his soft eyes with worries while looking at me.Pinahid ko ang luha ko at yumuko... Fvck, I did it again."Tell me what happened, Aja. I hate it when you act that way. You are not emotional, put yourself together" malamig na boses ni Troy.Still, I keep my head low as I tried not to fight back. I have this huge slump on ny chest that don't want to get out."Speak" he said, then I feel he touch my head, down to my shoulder before running his hand into my chin to for me to look straight on him."I-I can't!" I hisses
Sunday morning I woke up early at 5 because Altazar said we are going to a groceries store.Mabuti na yun kisa naman sa simbahan nya ako akitin baka mag paunahan lang kami masunog aa loob.Naligo ako at nag ayos lang ng kaunti ng sarili. I don't usually weak make up but Altazar make me put on some. Para naman daw maganda ako, nakaka insulto lang."Ede sana ikaw nalang nag make up! Bakla ka ba?""I am not. Just saying that you look much better when you put red stains on your cheeks and lips. Put some coal on your eyes too, you will look fantastic, I swear."Ngumiwi ako at umirap na lang. Sinunod ko ang sinabi nya.I know he was talking about lipstick, brush on, eye shadow and eye liner.It took me haft an hour doing my thing on my face but Altazar did not complain, sya pa nga nag request ng mga ilalagay ko daw sa mukha ko para daw maganda.
"please, everybody go outside. Please, move faster. All our lives matter! Save yourselves!"My face crumble, watching all the people inside panicking.May iilan pang banyaga na halos madapa na kakatakbo palabas. While Altazar on the hand is non stop cussing, complaining about the gun I used to kill a certain people just a few minutes ago."If Master Hastro finds out about this! You will pay of it, Aja! You disrespect me! You disrespect my rank as the third boss! What the hell!"Umirap lang ako sa kanya.Naka patong ang baril nya sa dalawang palad habang naka luhod. He seems like he is worshipping that fvcking gun with all his might fvcking heart, e wala naman syang puso!"Tara na, mamaya mo na sambahin yan" I butt in.He glared at me, with dripping tears from his eyes. Hindi sya nakaka awang tignan, nakaka hiya sya.
Aja's P.O.V.I was walking in the hallway while tons of cameras were following my every steps.I keep on walking ignoring them even though they ask a lots of question in my personal life, because this is my life as a famous Celebrety, everyone want to to my real identy, they all want to found out the real me when they can't even know how old I am currently and what's my real name. for five years, I hide behind Mariposa's name...The person I killed right on the day of my Husband and I wedding day. Hunter's Ex lover..."come on ma'm, I know you will anser me, Is it true that you are Mr. Patrick Hemerson's mistress" one of the reporters ask that cought my interest.I stop walking and face her, that fvcking Hemerson is my fvcking persoal slave."you guess" I fearlessly answer him.they then throw another intrigued question hoping I wou
When I though our life will start to be good as I always planned it to be, a serriour matter came to my way again.I got a call from Troy saying that if I don't take Aja with me to his mansion, he will be force to kill my parents as it was an order to him from the elders.I immediately come home to pick up Aja but I saw her olding a base vat soak in blood, looking like a moster, with a dead body on the ground which happened to be our maid.I did not say a word and just clean her mss so we could immediately go to Troy's territory, I have to... my parents life is in the line...What a biggest mistake of my life... I did not know that it was just a trap, that Troy is just high cause of the drugs he took before making us go to his office with Altazar and Hunter...He started spitting real shits, from Aja really knowing Hunter from the very start, Troy being insanely in love with her
When our negotiation with Mr. Palmer ended, I immediately asked Troy if I could go back to my wife cause she was left alone in our hotel room."You are not going anywhere, Huker. Not until the sun rise" he said, mockingly."I have a wife waiting for me—""She did not even know you" Altazar but in. "How would she be looking for you if you are still a stranger in her eyes. What an idiot mind you have, Huker"I could not answer them, I got nothing to reply... But still... I wanted to go back to her."Kidding aside, you may go, Huker. Your wife is in danger by the way. Run fast as you can to save her from Hunter" Troy nonchalantly said.I feel like a light storm suddenly strike on my chest as I nervously look at him in disbelief. "Fvck! How could you do such thing!" I exclaimed in my worry.I immediately slid my hand on my pocket
Azi's P.O.V.Just a couple months ago, My mom surprised me with a big news. It was my birthday, and as a gift..."We got a good news for you," Mom said with tears in her eyes. Tears of joy, I must say. "Your dad and I have been planning this for almost 5 years, and now... It is finally happening!" She said excitedly.I stayed smiling awkwardly because of the confusion and I had no clue on what she is talking about.I am just hoping she would say that she finally convinced Amaranth parents to marry me so I could live the rest of my life with her. That is my only dream, and if that cane true... I would be walking down the hell and cut Satan's horn and burn it down with his own bowl of fire."Okay buddy, this is not much but..." Dad said in suspense then he look at my Mom like he was signing her to say the surprise at the same time.I was still smiling though wh
We all went silent for awhile, Troy is whining, Azi started crying, Hunter looks furious and Altazar seems devastated.Habang ako na nanatiling naka salampak sa sahig, trying my best to sink in all the words that Troy's spitting.Until Troy get up, nawala ang hinanakit sa mukha nito. He then look fierce while clenching his jaw."Kung sa bagay, nakinabang din naman ako sayo," he look at me, emotionless. "Treasure..." He added.Right after he said his last word, Azi gasp then gaze at me in disbelief. "T-treasure!?" He exclaimed.Pumikit ako ng mariin, alam ko na ang iniisip nya... Shit!"Hell yeah," Troy said chuckling. "We all know her real identity, sucker" he then laugh like a wizard, winning a fvcking battle."Aja..." Azi whisper my name, like he did not know what to feel but scared as fvck. "Are you... T-treasure..." He gently ask, as
Habang nag lalakad kaming tatlo—apat pala... Ramdam ko ang pawis ng kaba na dumadaloy sa balat ko.I'm sweating! Alam ko kung saan kami pupunta, and it's none other than Troy's office.Nang maka rating kami sa tapat ng office nito, napa kapit ako sa braso ni Altazar, pero agad din akong bumitaw ng narealize ko na kasama ko nga pala si Azi, at sya ang nag dala sa akin dito.Hunter slowly reach the door knob, naka pikit ako habang pinipihit nya iyon, at nang mag bukas ang pinto, nakaka lokong tawa ni Troy ang sumalubong saamin.Pag bukas ko ng aking mga mata, naka yuko ang tatlong kalalakihang kasama ko at ako naman ay nanatiling naka tindig ng maayos.The three look at me, like they are telling me to bow my head like what they are doing, specially Hunter with his glare.Akma na akong tutungo ng tumayo si Troy sa pag kaka upo at sumalubong saakin ng may m
Basang basa ako ng sariling pawis ng magising ako sa bisig ni Azi. He look so worried and in pain while stroking my hair to calm me."It's alright, Aja... Please, everything is alright" he said, na parang pagod na pagod na ito.Ang dami nyang kalmot sa mukha, sa braso sa katawan at mga sugat.When I look at my finger, I know I am the one who did it. Puro dugo ang mga kuko ko, puro pasa naman ang katawan ni Azi.Kalmado na ako pero hindi ang puso ko. Naaawa ako sa asawa ko, naaawa ako sa pananakit na ginawa ko sa kanya.I hugged him, tightly while apologizing. "Azi, A-Azi I'm sorry... I am sorry... Sorry"Umiyak ako sa dibdib nya, habang sya ay tuluyan lang akong pinapa kalma.Tumawa ito ng mahina, "you did nothing wrong, Aja. Wag ka ng umiyak. You were already crying while asleep"Nang matigil ako sa
I was expecting him to talk to me right away after he got out from the shower room, but then..."Mag bibihis lang ako, after that we will talk"I watched his every move. I can even see how conscious and shame he was while dressing in front of me."Saglit lang, kailangan ko pala muna mag toothbrush, medyo masakit ata ngipin ko" he said without looking at me.I just stared at him and di not say anything.Natapos ito sa pag sipilyo, may kasunod nanaman itong palusot."Gusto mo ba sa baba tayo mag usap? I heard we have a beautiful garden in the backyard. Maganda daw ambiance don, you want?"Still, I did not answer him and just stared at him.Wala akong walang na imikan ito hanggat hindi nya saakin ipaintindi ang lahat ng gusto kong malaman.Kung bakit ang tanga nya para mag bigay ng ganoong kalaking p
Sa bilis nitong mag lakad, wala akong nagawa pa para pigilan ito o harangin pa.So without any other choice, I slid out my phone out of my pocket and take the pin out of it's case.Wala na akong ibang paraan pa kaya agad ko iyong ginamit at binato sa direksyon ni Gian.Just a few seconds after it hut his skin, agad syang natumba sa lupa at nahimatay."Buti na lang may extra pin pa ako, that was my last card!" I said to myself.Ngayon naman sya ang problema ko, Gian is double my size as he should be because he is our protector.Pero paano ko sya mabubuhat at saan ko sya ilalagay?Think, Aja. Think!I take my phone and dialed Altazar's number. Sya lang naman ang maaasahan ko sa mga bagay na ganito.[I'm coming—]"Alam mo ba kong na saan ako"He s
