Prologue

Hindi ko alam kung para saan ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko nang pihitin ko ang seradura ng pinto hanggang sa tuluyan ko itong mabuksan. Ramdam ko ang paglawak ng ngiti ko at pati na rin ang dobleng galak na dumaloy sa sistema ko. Parang may sariling buhay ang aking paa at akong unti-unti humakbang papunta sa dalawang taong nakatayo sa tabi ng isang sasakyan. Sa hindi malamang dahilan ay nasisiguro kong naririto sila para sa akin. “Hay salamat! Lumabas na rin ang prinsesa,” sabi ng babaeng isa sa naghihintay sa akin. Tumawa ako nang marinig ang mga katagang iyon. Pati ang tunog ng sarili kong pagtawa ay estranghero na sa pandinig ko. Wala akong marinig na pagpapanggap doon, iyon ang nakakapagtaka.

I parked my black Bugatti Veyron at the parking lot of our company. It was still 6 o'clock in the morning and I need to be at my office at exactly 7. I still have an hour but I was never a fan of late comers. Early bird catches the worm, that's what they said and I personally believe in that. Wala namang mangyayaring maganda sa pagiging late kundi ang pagsisisi sa opportunity na lumampas sayo just because you don't have a sense of timeliness. I took one last classy look on myself in the rear view mirror before I gracefully stepped outside my car. I looked at my phone when I felt that it suddenly vibrated. It was a message from my sister. Theania Faye:Ate sabi ni mama agahan mo daw umuwi at ihahanda mo pa ang mga gamit mo para bukas. I am really excited, oh my ghad. I shook my head when I read her message and slid my phone back to my shoulder bag as I continued walkin

“LAGUNA, I’M BACK!”I gripped my sister’s arm when she shouted that as soon as we arrived at our destination.“Theania Faye, kararating lang natin ang ingay-ingay mo na agad," seryosong saad ko pero inirapan nya lang ako at tumulong kay mama na buhatin ang ibang bag na dala namin. I shook my head because of my sister and her ill-headed attitude. Tahimik kong pinagmasdan ang lugar. Ang malamig na simoy ng hangin at ang berdeng tanawin agad ang una kong napansin rito, malayong malayo sa maingay at abalang lugar na pinanggalingan namin. Pamilyar din ang bahay na nakatayo sa harapan ko ngayon, lumuma lang iyon ng kaunti pero ganoon pa rin ang pakiramdam na dulot nito sa akin. The nostalgic feeling lingers in my mind as I remembered my sweet and carefree memory all over the place.After 10 years, I am back at this place again. To where everything started and to where I should end it.

HINDI ko alam kung ilang sandali akong nanatili kung saan ko huling nakita si Tristan. I was just there, standing and staring at where I last saw him. “Tristan,” I mumbled his name even when he already left. A bitter smile escaped in my lips.I uttered the same name like how I used to call him before but why does it feel like he wasn’t the same man anymore?For the passed ten years, I trained myself to be sturdy enough despite any storm that may come and tries to be bring me down. I become successful and feared because of that.So, I couldn’t just stand the fact that that the hatred in someone’s eyes could shake the ground I am standing just like what happened a while ago.Nawaglit lang ako mula sa malalim nap ag-iisip nang tumunog ang bell at isa-isang nagbukasan ang pinto ng mga classroom. Agad namang napuno at umingay ang hallway dahil sa mga batang nagsilabasan.I closed my fist as I t
