2021-09-04 10:17:23“Is there something wrong?” tanong ko kay River matapos niyang sagutin ang tawag mula sa kaniyang ama.
He sighed and shook his head. Nilingon niya ako at nginitian habang tinutulungan na punasan ang kaniyang buhok. He had a shower because he was sweaty, kaya't narito kami ngayon sa kwarto at sinasamahan siyang magbihis.
By the look he has and the sigh he heaved, alam kong may problema siya
“Come on, tell me. Anong sabi ng Papa mo? Pinagalitan ka?” kunwaring pagbibiro ko pa. Umiling siya at hinawakan ang aking kamay para pigilan sa pagpupunas ng kaniyang buhok at saka ako iniharap sa kaniya.
I can tell that his eyes are frustrated, but I don't know the exact reason why. Ang tanging sigurado lang ako ay dahil iyon sa tawag na sinagot niya mula sa ka

I helped River pack his things the next days. Habang nagluluto siya ay inilabas ko na ang kaniyang maleta at ang mga damit na dadalhin niya sa Thailand.I pursed my lips when I saw that his clothes are mostly formal. Napakaraming button-down long sleeves. May tatlong coats, dalawang t-shirts, and the rest are pants and boxers.Ito lang ba ang dala niya? Wala nang iba? Kahit pambahay man lang?Ang sapatos niya ay isusuot na niya pagpunta roon. Black shoes lang iyon at wala man lang gamit para sa casual. Oh, wait, I'll put slippers!Kita mo na, may makakalimutan pa siya!I checked all his things and put everything in an organized way. Kung hindi ko ito tiningnan ay hindi ko mapapansing wala siyang slippers at sariling razors an

It's true that Sandra is cute. Lalo na noong nagtatakbo siya papalayo na parang isang batang pinansin ng crush niya.“Damien! Alam mo bang bali-balitang crush ka noong anak ni Einstein?” biro sa akin ni Paulo. Ngumisi ako at nagkibit-balikat sa sinabi niya dahil marami naman talagang nagkakagusto sa akin.Pero sino iyon?“Sinong anak ni Einstein?” tanong ko.“Si Triple A ng ABM. Si Sandra!” aniya. Tumango-tango naman ako. Maganda naman, ah? Maganda talaga.“Boring naman siya. Paniguradong hindi magkakagusto sa kaniya si Damien. Hindi ba, Dame?” Humawak sa akin si Ria. Lumabi ako at inosente siyang tiningnan dahil sa sinabi niya.

“Akala ko hindi ka na darating dahil bitter ka!” kantyaw nina Paulo sa akin nang makarating ako sa Acquaintance Party. Bahagya akong ngumisi at umiling.Napansin ko sa aming table ang isang babaeng nakaupo lang at nakatungo.“Nga pala, ito si Estelle. Estelle, this is Damien,” pagpapakilala ni Zoren at Jack sa amin.Tinanguan ko lang ang babae at saka ko muling nilibot ang aking paningin sa paligid at hinanap ang presensya ni Sandra, subalit wala pa yata siya.“You're Damien? Ikaw si Damien na crush noon ni Alexandria?” tanong noong si Estelle.Kunot-noo ko siyang nilingon at nagtataka akong tumango. Kasunod noon ay ang pag ngisi ko dah

“D-Damien nga… I-I'm sorry,” nahihiyang sabi ni Sandra.I smiled and nodded, forgiving her.A few more days had passed until I got to ask her the question I've been wanting to ask her for a very long time.“Ang saya ng basketball! You were cheering for our department! Your classmates are probably mad at you,” she said and laughed when we got out of the gymnasium.Bahagya rin akong tumawa at inilagay ang ilang takas na hibla ng buhok niya sa likod ng kaniyang tainga. Her eyes widened a bit especially when I caressed her cheeks.“They'll understand,” nakangiting sambit ko.Napaawang

“Ate,” tawag ni Aubree at pumasok sa aking kwarto. Ismiled at her and put my phone down, hindi muna tinawagan si River sa kabila ng madami nitong missed calls.“Don't listen to Damien. Hindi ganoon si Kuya River at alam mo iyan,” she said.Ngumiti ako at tumango sa kaniya. “I know… wag kang mag-alala,” I assured her.Napatigil ang aming pag-uusap nang muling tumunog ang aking telepono dahil sa isang tawag. River's name flashed on the screen and I stared at it.This is the answer to my question. I know that this call will give me the peace I've been wanting.“I'll leave you to talk to him,&

“Darling? What's wrong?” I asked with so much frustration.“I-I dropped my p-phone in the bowl and it's b-broken. I'm sorry, hindi ko nasagot ang mga tawag,” she said and sobbed more.Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib. I sighed in relief that she's not harmed or something. Akala ko ay aatakihin na ako sa puso at aalis ng event na ito para lang makauwi.I smiled when I heard her cute but heartbreaking sobs. “Don't worry, it's fine. I'm glad you still managed to call me.”“Wala kasi akong mahiraman ng phone kanina. Gladly, Xyrene came to visit me.”“Alright. Stop crying. Our baby might get sad too,” paalala ko sa kaniya dahil alam kong iyon ang magpapatigil sa kaniyang pag

Suminghap ako at sunod-sunod na tumulo ang aking luha na kaagad ko namang pinunasan.“A-Ate…” inalu ako ni Aubree at nilapitan. Dahil doon ay mas lalong lumakas ang aking paghikbi at tumitig ako kay Kuya Angelo.“Sandra naman,” sambit ni Kuya.Tinakpan ko ang aking mukha at umiiyak na isinubsob ang aking ulo sa balikat ni Aubree. I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it!“Sabi ko naman kasi sa iyo, Angelo. Huwag mong kakatayin ang manok sa harap ng kapatid mo!” saway ni Mama at hinampas pa ng tsinelas si Kuya Angelo.“Maaga kong ginilitan ang manok, Mama! Hindi ko naman kasi alam na maagang magigising si Sandra,” sambit ni Kuya Angelo habang tinatanggalan ng balahib

“Is there something wrong? Bakit tayo nagmamadali?" tanong ko matapos bumili ng cellphone.“Pasensya na, Captain, ah? Pero kasama kasi sa paalala ni President na… umalis agad sa mall kapag nakita si Engineer Salvador,” Xyrene said.Napaawang ang aking bibig at saka ako dahan-dahang tumango. Ngayon ay naiintindihan ko na… Damien is probably at the mall too.Hindi ako sigurado kung alam niya ba talagang naroon ako o nagkataon lang.I sighed when I realized how it sucks. I want to tell him to stop, but I'm still afraid to face him… especially now that I am pregnant.Bumuntonghininga na lang ako at saka tumango. I think it’s better to avoid him in this state rather than risking my emot

“I'll stay here for a bit. Iuwi niyo na lang muna si Jordan. Susunduin ko na lang siya bago ako umuwi sa bahay,” sambit ko at inihiga ang natutulog na si Jordan sa backseat ng van kung nasaan si Aubree. “Alright. We'll go home already. Umuwi ka rin agad at magpahinga…” Dad said. Tumango ako at hinawakan ang pinto para isara. I closed the door and watched them go. Tahimik na ang lugar. The tent was still built, but the chairs were gone already. Bumuntonghininga ako at saka nilingon ang sasakyan ng taong alam kong kanina pa nanonood. “You can come near if you want to. Hindi kita bubugbugin ngayon,” I said after sitting in the grass in front of the grave, knowing that someone can hear me.

I woke up the next day, feeling more tired than usual. Rinig ko ang pagiging abala ng lahat sa labas kaya't tumayo na ako mula sa pagkakahiga.Napabaling ang aking tingin sa kabilang bahagi ng kama. My tears fell once again at the sight of it.“Dad,” I heard Jordan knocking on the door.Pinunasan ko ang aking mga luha at nilingon ang pinto. Jordan managed to open the door and ran immediately to hug me.“W-What's wrong, Jordan?” I asked him.Umiyak siya at mas humigpit ang yakap sa akin.“H-Have you had breakfast?” tanong ko sa kaniya. Umiling siya at narinig ko ang kaniyang hikbi habang nakayakap sa akin.

“You’re marrying Charlotte, and that’s final.” Napatanga ako sa sinabi ni Mom sa kabilang linya ng telepono. What the fuck?“Mom, I thought we’re on the same side? You promised me that we’ll convince Dad that I will never marry Cha!”Damn it. It’s been days since I went to Batanes with Cha. Pumayag akong pumunta rito, and even lied to my love that I have a business trip with Dad dahil nangako si Mom na tutulungan niya akong kausapin si Dad basta sumama muna ako pero…“I don’t like that girl, River! Kung ayaw mo siyang hiwalayan… ako ang maghihiwalay sa inyo.” Before I could even argue, ibinaba niya na ang telepono. This is frustrating!Pero hindi

She never really took me seriously at first. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sa palagay ko ay dahil iyon sa lahat ng katarantaduhang nagawa ko noon.It felt like all of my sins were recorded, and she became my punishment.“I don’t believe you, River. I’m sorry, but you’re unbelievable.” I couldn’t remember how many times Sandra replied this statement to me every time I told her that I like her very much.Kalimitan ay dinadaan ko na lang talaga sa pagbibiro ng pamimilit o di kaya’y pagsuyo sa kaniya. But deep inside, it’s slowly hurting me. It’s like she never trusted me.Imagine? She even tried to turn me into a gay just so her family wouldn’t know about it!

I ran to the hallway quickly and quietly. I don't want to attend the philosophy class. It's boring.“Hey, River,” Alice greeted me nang malampasan ko siya sa hallway.I winked at her and she held my arms. But damn, this isn’t the time for flirting.“I'll catch up with you later at the party. Right now, I just need to run away from class,” I said and kissed her cheeks.“Alright, see you later,” she said.I smirked and continued running. Surely, the lecturer will catch me in no time kaya mas dapat ko pang bilisan ang takbo. Madaya naman kasi at foundation day tapos may klase siya sa amin.

“I'm sorry, the patient died due to the wound in her chest and internal bleeding. Her ribs are broken, and it affected her lungs. Kung nabuhay siya… she won't be able to walk. Her legs are fractured badly.”That’s what the doctor told us.I stood up slowly and noticed Kuya Angelo wiping his tears.I bit my lip. I remembered our youth. She was blooming like a flower, and her brother was already building fences so no man could touch her.I had that flower. But somehow… I failed to protect her.“Gusto kong makita ang anak ko… pupuntahan ko si Sandra,” Mama Alondra told Kuya Angelo.“Makikita rin natin si Sandra. Konting tiis la

“River! What the hell happened? What did that bastard do to Sandra?” salubong sa akin ni Lionel nang makarating ako sa kanila.Bumaba ako ng sasakyan at ngumiti sa kaniya. He looks so worried and behind him is his wife. Nakita ko ang galit at panggigigil sa kaniya. It seems like Alejandro wronged them as well.Subalit nang makita niya kung gaano ako kalugmok ay unti-unti niyang ikinalma ang sarili. Dapat lang niyang ikalma dahil pinapahanap ko na si Alejandro. Ang gusto ko munang tutukan sa ngayon ay ang aking asawa.When Lionel sensed my mood, wari ko ay naintindihan niya na agad ang nangyayari. M-Maybe he already has an idea.“I-Is the news… t-true?” tanong niya sa akin. Ramdam ko ang pag-aalinlangan sa boses niya.

Without any hesitation, nag u-turn ako kaagad at mas binilisan ang takbo ng aking sasakyan dahil sa sinabi sa akin ni Vincent. I’m not sure what it is pero kung mula sila sa tower control at hinahanap nila ako ay paniguradong may kinalaman ito kay Sandra!“C-Come quick.” Iyon ang huling sinabi ni Vincent bago ko narinig ang hikbi niya at pagpatay niya sa tawag.I was too excited to go back. Thinking that Sandra is already there excites me. Goodness. Sana ay naroon na siya dahil kung wala pa ring balita ay hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko! Masisiraan na yata ako ng ulo.Gustong-gusto ko nang bilisan ang takbo ng aking sasakyan at makarating doon kaagad.The sun is already shining. I haven't slept or eaten yet. Gusto ko lamang makita ang aking asawa. Mabut

The storm is still preventing us from searching the sky clearly. Wala kaming ideya kung anong aircraft ang ginamit ni Alejandro... o kung talaga bang ginamit niya iyon.“Why are you still awake? Hmm?” I asked Jordan when I visited him.“I can’t sleep properly. Have you eaten?” he asked.I smiled weakly and shook my head.“You should eat. If Mommy comes back, she'll be angry if she'll know that you didn't eat,” he said and held my hand.Nag-angat ako ng tingin nang makita sa likuran niya si Dad.“How is everything going?” Dad asked.“The authorities are helping us too.
