JANIYA'S P. O. VBUT AS THE SAYING GOES, EVERYDAY IS NOT ALL ABOUT RAINBOWS.Kahit anong ginawa kong pagtatago, nakarating pa rin kay Strike ang tungkol sa koneksyon ko kay Ryuu. And when the rumor reached SV's ears, a storm brewed on the horizon of my world. His sharp gaze and stern words cut through the air like a knife, his warning clear and uncompromising. "End any relationship you have with that professor. I thought, I already warned you about you being a f***ing stupid," he once commanded, his voice laced with authority and disapproval.Pero sa kabila ng iyon ay hindi ko siya pinakinggan. I still continue meeting with Ryuu. Mas dinalasan ko pa. Dahil ang target? Pagselosin pa lalo si Strike! Nagawa ko na kasing lahat ng technique na pwede kong gawin. I cooked for him, served him, be a good girl towards him. Pero ni isa sa mga iyon ay walang gumana. So, I have to shift plans. Because as the saying goes, kung hindi na madaanan sa santong dasalan, daanin na lang natin sa santong

JANIYA'S P. O. VMALALIM NA ANG GABI PERO HINDI KO PA RIN MAGAWANG MAKATULOG. Malinaw pa rin kasi sa isip ko ang itsura ni Strike nang makita ko siya kanina sa pool. Every detail of him lingers on my mind. At hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit… kung bakit may kakaibang init akong nararamdaman habang paulit-ulit na nagpla-play sa utak ko ang itsura niya kanina. "Oh, yes, you're really hot, Strike. You sure are…” anang isip ko. On my mind, Strike was kissing me pervently as he grabbed me in the waste. We're kissing each other as if there was no tomorrow. Then his lips came lower. On my jaw… On my neck… Napapikit ako ng mariin. "Okay, Nia, you have to understand that this is beyond the "crush" thing now. Pinagpapantasiyahan mo na siya and that isn't great!” babala ng utak ko. Pero hindi, eh. Thinking about him this way made me feel alive. It feels like… I was in to something I never experienced before. At gusto kong maranasan iyon. Kay Strike. My mind continues to create fake scene

JANIYA'S P. O. VNAPABALIKWAS AKO NG BANGON NANG MARINIG KO ANG PAMILYAR NA TUNOG NG SASAKYAN NI STRIKE.Shocks, nakatulog pala ako!Dali-dali kong inayos ang sarili ko at tumakbo papunta sa kusina. Natataranta ako pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasang mapangiti. Kinakabahan ako pero nangingibabaw pa rin ang excitement sa puso ko.I am planning to surprise him. Iisipin niya na walang tao and knowing him, alam ko na ang unang pupuntahan niya ay ang kusina. And that's when he'll see the dinner I prepared.Mayamaya pa ay narinig ko na bumukas na ang pinto. 'Ayan na… I waited while I am in the height of excitement. Pero ilang segundo na ang lumipas ay wala pa ring Strike na pumapasok sa kusina. Doon na ako bahagyang nadismaya. Pero inalis ko rin agad ang pakiramdam na iyon. Sa halip ay naisip kong salubungin na lang siya. Naglakad na ako ng dahan-dahan palabas para salubungin si Strike. "SURPRI—” Kusa akong natigilan dahil imbis na si Strike lang ang bumungad sa akin, nakita ko na may isa

JANIYA'S P. O. VI WOKE UP LATE THE NEXT MORNING.Masakit ang ulo ko at para iyong binibiyak. Lunes na Lunes pa naman. No choice tuloy ako kundi ang um-absent. Good thing, may kaibigan akong professor.Kahit ayoko lumabas ng kwarto ay wala rin akong magagawa. Wala si Mamay at walang ibang magsisilbi sa akin kundi ako lang din. Kaya kahit natatakot ako na sa paglabas ko ay makasalubong ko si Strike at ang kasama niyang babae, ginawa ko pa rin dahil kung hindi ay ako lang din ang magugutom.Pagkatapos kong ayusin sandali ang sarili ko ay nagdesisyon na akong lumabas. Dahan-dahan pa ang ginawa kong pagbukas ng pinto, sinisiguro ko na hindi ako makakalikha ng kahit anong ingay.But as luck may not have it, pagbukas ko ng pinto at saktong paglabas ko ay bumukas din ang pinto ng katabi kong kwarto. Iniluwa noon si Strike. At ang babaeng kasama niya noong nagdaang gabi.The moment that happened, my gaze automatically met his. And then it locked. Pinilit kong basahin ang mga mata niya pero w

JANIYA'S P. O. V"WHAT'S WILL ALL THE MESS IN THE KITCHEN? WHO DID THAT?”Nanatili akong walang kibo kahit narinig ko naman ng malinaw at buo ang mga sinabi ni Strike.After the incident that happened a few hours back, narinig ko na umalis din agad sila. Inakala ko na didiretso na rin si Strike sa trabaho niya o sa kung saang lupalop man siya ng mundo sumusuot sa tuwing nawawala siya rito. But hey look, it seems like I was wrong. Dahil nagsisimula pa lang akong mag-enjoy sa morning coffee ko ay narinig ko na agad ang boses ng diablo."Are you not f***ing listening to me?” sabi niya ulit.Hindi pa rin ako sumagot. Kahit ang sulyapan siya ay pinilit ko ring huwag gawin. I acted cool as if I am all alone.Kalmado kong dinampot ang tasa ko ng kape at dahan-dahan iyong dinala sa bibig ko. Pero hindi pa man iyon dumadampi sa labi ko ay kusa ko na iyong nabitiwan. It was when Strike suddenly grabbed my hand, making me stand and face him.Sa kabila ng gulat ko at kaba, na sinamahan pa ng baha

JANIYA'S P. O. VMULA NANG DALHIN SA BAHAY NI STRIKE ANG MAARTENG BABAE SLASH HILAW NA LABANOS NA "GIULIA" PALA ANG PANGALAN, AY NAPADALAS NA ANG PAGBISITA NITO SA BAHAY. Madalas ay kasama itong dumadating ni Strike. Pero minsan, mag isa lang ito na pumupunta roon at umaakto na para bang pag-aari na niya ang kabuuan ng bahay. Maging si Mamay ay naiinis sa babaeng iyon dahil kung makapag utos nga naman ito ay daig pa si Strike na mismong amo at nagpapasahod sa kanya. Tuwing dumarating din ang Giulia na iyon ay mas pinipili ko na lang na magkulong sa kwarto. Binibilinan ko na lang din si Mamay na sakaling hanapin ako, sabihin niya na wala ako, umalis, o basta maggawa na lang siya ng kahit anong excuse para lang hindi ako mapilitan na harapin silang dalawa. Gaya ngayon. Pinangako ni Strike na lalabas kami para kumain sa labas bilang celebration sa birthday ni Mamay. Pero hindi naman natupad iyon dahil dumating siyang kasama ang fiancée niya na nagbida-bidang mag-"host" ng birthday cel

JANIYA'S P. O. V"WOW…”Hindi ako makapaniwala sa tanawing bumungad sa akin nang alisin na ni Ryuu ang piring sa mga mata ko. Pagbaba kasi namin sa sasakyan niya kanina ay piniringan niya agad ang mga mata ko. At ngayong tinanggal niya na iyon, hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na mamangha sa ganda ng paligid. Maraming puno sa lugar na iyon. Madilim din, pero nang dahil sa liwanag ng buwan at sa iilang mga alitaptap ay parang nabuhay ang lugar. May sapa rin sa hindi kalayuan. May mga bulaklak at damo. "Ang ganda…” amazed na amazed kong sabi. "Hindi ko alam na may ganitong lugar pala na nag-eexist hindi kalayuan sa atin.” Sa tantsa ko kasi ay wala pang fifteen minutes ang ibiniyahe namin. At kahit mabilis ang sasakyan na ginamit namin ay masasabi ko na hindi pa rin ganoon kalayo ang lugar na pinagdalhan niya sa akin. "I'm so glad you like it here,” nakangiti ring sambit ni Ryuu. "Ako rin, eh. Hindi ko rin alam na may ganito palang nag-eexist dito. This is my first time going here as

JANIYA'S P. O. VHINDI KO INAASAHAN NA MAKASALUBONG SI STRIKE LALO NA'T MASYADO PANG MAAGA. Pero nangyari na at wala na akong magagawa. Sa tono pa lang ng pananalita niya ay halata nang hindi siya natutuwa. And I know in myself na nakita niya kung paano ako sinundo o hinatid ni Ryuu. Sa paanong paraan niya pa ba kasi malalaman na ito ang kasama ko? Nagkunwari akong naiinis at nilagpasan ko lang siya. Pero deep inside, unti-unti na namang nabubuhayan ang loob ko dahil sa nakikita kong reaksyon ni Strike. "I'm not f****ing done with you,” mariin niyang sabi at hinawakan ang kamay ko. He forcefully made me face him. Hindi ako kumibo. Hindi ko rin siya tiningnan sa mga mata niya dahil alam ko na sa ganitong paraan ay mas maaasar siya. "What did you do with that a**hole the whole night, huh? Did you two… f***?” Sinabi ko sa sarili ko na hindi ko ipapahalata sa kanya na apektado ako. Pero matapos ang sinabi niyang iyon ay awtomatikong nagpanting ang mga tainga ko. And sudden impulse

1 month later… JANIYA'S P. O. VThe courtroom was a symphony of whispers and hushed conversations. The air crackled with tension, a palpable energy that vibrated through the room. Giulia, the woman who had orchestrated the accident that had nearly taken my life, sat before the judge, her face a mask of defiance. "Your Honor," the prosecutor began, his voice a steady drone. "The evidence is clear. The defendant, Giulia, acted with malice aforethought, deliberately causing a car accident that resulted in serious injuries to the plaintiff, Janiya.”He recounted the events, the meticulous planning, the calculated actions, the chilling indifference to the potential consequences. I sat in the witness stand, my heart a heavy stone in my chest, reliving the terror of that fateful day."The defendant," he continued, "has shown no remorse for her actions. She has exhibited a complete disregard for the law and the well-being of others. She is a danger to society and must be held accountable fo

JANIYA'S P. O. VThe air crackled with anticipation, a symphony of laughter and whispered secrets. The sun, a benevolent witness, bathed the garden in a golden glow, illuminating the scene with a warmth that mirrored the love that pulsed through the air. It was my wedding day, a culmination of a journey filled with heartache, healing, and ultimately, a love that had triumphed over every obstacle.My reflection stared back at me, a vision of happiness in a white gown that flowed like a gentle waterfall. My heart, once burdened with pain, now swelled with a joy so profound it threatened to spill over.Earlier that day, as I stood before the mirror, my hand resting on my swollen belly, the doctor had uttered the words that had sent a wave of pure bliss through me. "Congratulations, Janiya," he had said, his smile mirroring the joy that illuminated my face. "You're going to be a mother of four.""Four?" I echoed, my voice filled with disbelief and delight. "Are you sure?""Absolutely," he

JANIYA'S P. O. VOras matapos ang naging pag uusap namin ni Ryuu, si Strike naman ang hinarap ko. The hospital room, once a sterile haven of recovery, was now transformed into a haven of love. The air was thick with the scent of lilies, their white petals mirroring the crisp white sheets that enveloped me. My body still bore the scars of the accident, my spirit felt stronger than ever.Strike sat beside me, his hand gently holding mine. His eyes, filled with a love that could melt glaciers, held mine captive."Janiya," he began, his voice a soft melody that resonated deep within me. "You know, I've been thinking..."I chuckled, a light, tinkling sound that echoed in the quiet room. "You're thinking again? Baka maubos na braincells mo n'yan, ha?” I teased, my voice laced with affection. "Anywats, what's on your mind?"He smiled, a smile that could rival the sun's brilliance. "Well, I've been thinking... about us.""About us?" I echoed, a playful eyebrow raised. "You know, I've been th

JANIYA'S P. O. VPag alis ni Strike ay dumating din agad si Ryuu. Hindi ko alam kung tinawag ba s'ya ng una, but whatever happens, I'm glad that he's here. Para maayos na ang lahat once and for all. Ryuu sat beside me, his hand resting on mine, his eyes filled with a warmth that soothed the ache in my heart."Janiya," he began, his voice soft and gentle. "I'm so glad that you're awake now. At masaya 'ko na nakakabawi ka na ulit ng lakas mo kahit papaano.”Ngumiti ako ng tipid.I squeezed his hand, tears welling up in my eyes. It felt like an eternity since I'd last seen him, since I'd last felt his presence."Ryuu," I whispered, my voice hoarse from disuse. "I… I have something to say. M-May gusto 'kong sabihin pero hindi ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan. I'm… I'm aso sorry. I'm so sorry for everything."Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Ryuu. Parang nagtataka s'ya sa mga sinasabi ko."S-Si Strike,” banggit ko. "He's… He proposed.”Suddenly, his smile fade. Kitang-kita ko rin kung paano bigl

JANIYA'S P. O. VThe hospital room was a haven of quiet, the only sound the rhythmic beeping of the machines monitoring my vitals. Strike sat beside me, his hand resting on mine, his eyes filled with a tenderness I hadn't seen in years. "Janiya," he began, his voice husky with emotion. "I know you're awake now. I know you can hear me."I squeezed his hand, a wave of warmth spreading through me. It was strange, this feeling of comfort, of safety, in his presence. It had been so long since I had felt this way.He talked about the weeks we'd been apart, the fear, the uncertainty, the overwhelming love he felt for me. He talked about the triplets, their constant chatter, their innocent faces filled with longing for their mother.Sinabi n'ya rin kung ga'no s'ya nagsisisi ds mga maling nagawa n'ya at sa lahat ng sakit naiparanas n'ya sa akin. He apologized for everything, his voice thick with remorse."I know I messed up, Janiya," he said, his eyes pleading. "I know I hurt you. But I never

JANIYA'S P. O. VThe sterile white ceiling seemed to mock me, a stark reminder of my predicament. My body felt like a leaden weight, each breath a struggle. I was trapped, a prisoner in my own mind, watching the world go by from a distance. The weeks blurred into one another, a hazy tapestry of whispered conversations, hushed footsteps, and the constant hum of machines. I knew they were there, hovering over me, their faces etched with worry, their voices filled with hope. Strike, Ryuu, Mamay, my father, his new family, even my best friend, they all came to visit, to tell me stories.But I couldn’t respond. I couldn’t even open my eyes. I was a ghost, a silent observer in a world that seemed to be moving on without me.One day, a familiar voice, gentle and laced with concern, broke through the fog. Ryuu. He was sitting beside me, his hand resting on mine.“Janiya,” he said, his voice soft. “I know you can hear me. I know you’re in there.”He spoke of the triplets, their laughter echoi

The hospital room was a sanctuary, a haven of quiet calm amidst the storm that had ravaged their lives. Janiya sat by the window, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the sterile white walls. She watched the city unfold below, a bustling tapestry of life that seemed to mock the stillness of her own world. Two weeks had passed since the accident, two weeks since the world had almost ended for her. She had been given a second chance, a miracle that had left her reeling, her heart a fragile vessel, her mind a swirling vortex of emotions. She had woken up to a world of love and support, a tapestry of faces that had become her lifeline, her anchor in the storm. Her mother, Mamay, her unwavering rock, her source of strength and unconditional love. Her triplets, her reason for being, her tiny miracles, their innocent eyes reflecting a love that transcended words. And then there was Ryuu, his presence a constant in the chaos, his love a quiet, unwavering force that had held her

Parang nag-aapoy ang hangin, puno ng tensyon, isang nakakakuryenteng pakiramdam na mabigat sa paligid. Ang ambulance bay, na karaniwang magulo pero kontrolado, ay naging parang digmaan, isang kumukulong kaldero ng galit at lungkot. Si Ryuu, galit na galit, ay nakatayo lang ilang dangkal ang layo kay SV, nakakuyom ang mga kamao, at nag-aapoy ang mga mata. “Tanga ka!” sigaw niya, parang ungol ang boses niya. “Ikaw dapat ang nagbabantay sa kanya! Ikaw dapat ang nagpoprotekta sa kanya!”Si SV, maputla at payat, puno ng guilt at takot ang mga mata, ay hindi umatras. “Hindi ko alam,” nauutal niyang sabi, halos pabulong lang. “Hindi ko nakita ang trak. Napakabilis ng pangyayari.”“Hindi 'yan dahilan!” Singhal ni Ryuu, lumapit pa siya, amoy na amoy ang dugo at pawis sa hangin. “Ikaw dapat ang nasa tabi niya! Ikaw dapat ang nag-iingat sa kanya!”“Alam ko, alam ko,” pagmamakaawa ni SV, nakataas ang mga kamay na parang sumusuko. “Pasensya na. Pasensya na talaga.”Pero parang bato ang tainga ni
