All Chapters of The Woman, The Dreams and The Moon: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Bago kami magpunta sa lugar kung saan ako dadalin ni John, dumaretso muna kami sa aming bahay para makahanap man lang ako ng damit na itatakip sa aking katawan. Pagkaraan ng ilang minuto, nakita ko si John na taimtim na naghihintay sa labas ng pinto. Paglapit ko sa kanya, walang ano-ano ay hinawakan niya ang aking kamay at dinala kung saan. Napapalibutan ng nagtataasang puno ang mga bahay namin dito. It is like our houses are in the middle of a forest. Liblib at medyo malayo sa ingay ng town. Akala ko sa isang bakateng lote lang ako dadalhin ni John but he is now leading me towards a secluded place, and I don't know exactly kung saan. "Saan mo ba ako dadalin?" I asked John but he remain walking silently na tila ba hindi ako nadinig. To be honest, medyo kinakabahan ako sa mga nagaganap. Hindi ko kayang mapredict kung anong motives or drive ang meron si John to lead me in th

John and I walked towards home. Walang nagsasalita, tanging tunog lamang ng mga kuliglig at bawat hampas ng hangin sa mga puno ang maririnig mo. Payapa ang gabing ito ngunit ang aking puso ay puno ng magkakahalong emosyon. My heart was raided by thoughts of vengeance and desire to finally reclaim whatever they had stolen from me and my family. My blood is flowing in my veins like fire that cannot be contained. "Vera, would you like to drink some coffee with me?" John asked shyly. Hindi ko alam kung nagpapacute siya or what. Gusto niya pa ako makasama? I bet hindi, I would rather think that he would only want to see me and my newfound powers. I agreed to him since wala naman akong gagawin for the rest of the night.We reached their house. Pagkapasok ko pa lang sa bahay nila, my memories with his grandparents played like a movie in my mind. I am totally in awe sa lahat ng nai

John and Angelo were both having a hard time processing the situation. Lucy is now sitting beside me while we are both staring their awkward faces. I offered coffee for both men. "Coffee?" I asked. Hindi na ako masyadong nagugulat at natitimang sa mga nagaganap. I am used to face unexpected and peculiar events now. Sa dami ba namang naganap sa buhay ko in just few days. I finally adjusted myself. Now, I am prepared discovering more uncanny things dahil for sure, many of these kinds is yet to come. But the case is not the same for this two in front me, they totally got shook sa mga nangyari. Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. They both look surprise at tipong hindi alam kung anong irereact."Sir John?" Lucy called my boss. I almost forgot that she has an ability to see through a person. Marahil, nakita na ni Lucy ang buong laman ng isip ni John. Then, the man's eyes wid

"How? Paano tayo magsisimula?" tanong ni Lucy kay Luna na preskong preskong nakaupo at nakasandal sa upuan. Luna's eyebrows arched higher than its normal distance from her perfectly sculpted eyelids, indicating that she is about to burst her bad temper again. Her attitude is quite fascinating and mysterious. She is easily annoyed. Divinities are supposed to be calm all the time and mature in the sense of thinking, but I don't know, why Luna is portraying the opposite. She is immature in her reaction."Stop insulting me on your mind Vera. I can hear you clearly. Huwag mong subukang sagarin ang temper ko." banta ni Luna while looking at her polished nails. I can feel the moon's immense presence in the room, trying to intimidate us all but Lucy, is an epic destroyer of moods, lagi siyang mukhang hindi naapektuhan ng charm ni Luna. For some reasons, I admire her s

Walang makapagsalita sa bawat isa sa amin. Lahat kami ay nagulat sa ginawang pamamasalang ng babae sa kanilang pinuno. Hindi ko mapigilang hindi maluha. I can't imagine the betrayal the woman committed due to her greed. It is too much and unkind. Maya't maya pa, lumingon-lingon ang babae sa paligid. Sinisiyasat ng kanyang mga mata ang bawat sulok ng gubat. Marahil, hinanahanap kung merong nakasaksi sa lahat ng naganap. Pagkatapos ng ilang paglingon, dumako ang tingin ng babae sa kasama niyang bata na kanina pa nanonood. Walang bakas ng takot sa mukha ng bata. The child looks innocent, walang kamuwang-muwang sa pagtatraydor at pagpatay na ginawa ng babaeng kasama niya. Makaraan ang ilang minuto, the woman finally became at ease. Siguro, natiyak na niyang walang saksi sa lahat ng naganap. Then, in all of a sudden, she grabbed the child and went immediately towards somewhere deep in the forest.
