All Chapters of Love Thy Punishment: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"May parcel ka raw!" Aeris shouted from the living room. I immediately went down then hurried to the gate."Si Ma'am Alessia Mackenzie po?" he politely asked when I opened the gate."That's me!" I said like a kid, I even raised my left hand before getting a parcel."Paki-pirmahan nalang po ito, Ma'am," he handed me a paper. I was smiling widely while signing it. "Thank you, po."I closed the gate before heading back inside. "What's that?" Aeris asked me. I immediately went to the kitchen to wash my hands before opening it."What else? It's a bag!" I told her. I feel like my eyes turned into a heart shape when I saw the bag. I only ordered this yesterday and was really surprised that it was shipped immediately. This is so pretty!"Saan Ate mo?" I heard Asher's voice so my smile faded. I put the bag on the table before waiting for him to come to the kitchen."Hi," he greeted me. I just raised my brow on him. "Galit ka pa ba? Sorry na, hindi naman kita sinisisi kahapon. Sinasabi ko lan

I remained in the living room after Asher went out. Someone called him at sigurado akong problema na naman 'yon sa Restaurant niya. Binalik ko ang atensyon na pinapanood namin nang marinig kong bahagyang tumawa si Rose pero wala na akong maintindihan. I have no choice but to just look at the TV, reading the subtitles. Pinilit kong intindihin kung anong nangyayari sa movie but I gave up noong wala talaga akong maintindihan. I just waited for the movie to end."Do you want to watch another movie?" she asked me. I shook my head before sighing. "Problem?" she asked me again. "Nothing. I'm just... tired," I told her honestly. I sighed again before talking. "I think you're right, my end is coming. I might die now... later, tomorrow. I don't know. Who knows, right? That I am about to disappear from this world." "Aren't you happy? This is what you have long wanted to happen." The deity asked her. "You're right," I agreed. "But I don't know why I don't feel happy at all. Now that I'm al

Dumeretso ako sa sala para tingnan kung nandoon si Rose at hindi nga ako nagkamali. She was there, sitting pretty. I rolled my eyes before approaching her."Can we talk?" I asked seriously. She looked confused for a second before nodding. I turned my back to her before taking the way to the rooftop. "Waki's our brother, right? He's reincarnated with the same face, voice, and everything," I concluded. I saw lean against the railings as well."What's the matter?""Was the decision I made right? Tama bang kinuha ko si Ami?""Anong problema? Hindi ba gusto mong mabuo ulit ang pamilya niyo kahit na kayong magkapatid lang?" tanong niya. "He doesn't remember us," I stated. "And I don't want to force him to remember us."We became silent for a moment before I spoke again. "But I don't want Aeris to feel sad. Ayokong malungkot siya at mahirapan dahil hindi siya naalala ng kapatid namin. Sa aming dalawa, siya ang mas malapit sa kaniya.""What do you want to do then?""I don't know," I sighed

After giving me first aid, Asher called Kooper to make sure that I'm okay. Kaya naman neto ako ngayon ay nakikinig lang sa pagtatalo nilang magkaibigan."Sinong sumaksak sayo? Gago ka, Asher. Bakit hindi mo inaalagaan 'to?" bulong ni Kooper pero rinig na rinig ko iyon. "Tumahimik ka," suway ni Asher sa kaniya pero nagpatuloy lang ito sa pagsasalita."Namukhaan mo ba kung sinong sumaksak sa 'yo? May kilala akong lawyer, pwede ka niyang tulungan. May talent din 'yon sa pagdrdrawing idedes---"Malakas siyang binatukan ni Asher kaya natigil siya sa pagsasalita. "Sabi ko huwag mo siyang kakausapin.""Oo na! Ang sakit no'n ha!""Tapos ka na ba? Kanina ka pa nakahawak diyan. Bumitaw ka na o tatanggalan kita ng kamay?""Ang brutal mo! Ginagamot ko lang naman yung sugat, eh!" Nag-make face pa siya pero hindi nalang din pinansin ni Asher."Lumabas ka na. Hintayin mo ako ron," aniya. Niligpit na ni Kooper ang mga gamit niya bago tumingin sa akin at nagpaalam. I just mouthed thank you kahit na p

After what happened last night I didn't bother to open up a topic similar to that because I'm afraid that I might say something very honest again for the second time.Flashback..."She pondered that decision for a long time," I told him. "You'll need to make a bigger decision to let go than to hold on."A moment of silence wrapped around us. Walang ibang nagsalita pagkatapos kong sabihin iyon at nanatili lamang ang tingin sa ginang na kasalukuyan pa ring umiiyak, hindi matanggap ang pagkawala ng anak niya."Let's go home," I told him. I didn't wait for his answer because I had already walked away. I even texted Aeris to ask if the food already arrived pero mukhang tulog dahil hindi siya nagrereply. "Let me just check if the food is already inside or we'll just order something na lang," I told him but as soon as I got out of his car, he spoke."What about you?" he asked. I look at him with confusion on my face. "Would you rather... choose to make a bigger decision to let go or to hol
