Underneath it all

Eos Demitri deserve more than this.It was all I could think about while I sat inside the precinct that dreadful night. I couldn't stop crying. He's dead. The medic told me that after they tried taking his pulse and got nothing, he's dead. And I really think that he deserve better than this. He deserve so much better than this.The police took me to the precinct for questioning. I demanded to have a lawyer before answering any of their questions. Agad ko namang tinawagan si Piedro para puntahan ako. I asked him not to tell my brothers – especially my parents but I guess, Artie just couldn't keep anything for herself. So, now, I'm just waiting for Apollo to come and get me.I hate this.I don't want to be here. I don't even know if I should be mourning at all. Ano ba naman ako sa kanya. He only said he loved me. We were never an ite. – or any labels at all. Mahal daw niya ako. Mahal ko rin siya. Sapat na ba iyon para magluksa ako?"Eleithiya..." It was Apollo. I looked up and I saw him

Tia Vejar took me home that afternoon. I never liked her rotten spoiled brat attitude because it's getting to my nerves. Nakisakay lang ako sa kanya kanina dahil matatagalan ang driver ko sa pagsundo sa akin dahil nagkasakit ang driver ni Mama kaya ipinahiram ko muna ang akin. Pwede namang sunduin ako ni Daddy or ni Heath or Hunter pero hindi ko bet kaya inasar ko na lang si Tia. Natuwa naman ako sa reaksyon niya. Her reaction made my day. Pikon talaga si Tia."Nandito na si Daddy? Si Mama po?" Tanong ko sa maid nang masalubong ko siya. Sinabi niyang nasa itaas daw su Daddy at nagpapahinga. Agad naman akong tumakbo paakyat sa itaas para puntahan siya."Daddy!" Bungad ko sa kanya. Nakaupo siya sa swivel chair niya at para bang may binabasa. Agad naman niyang ibinaba ang papeles at tiningnan ako. Sinalubong niya ako ng ngiti."Hello, baby girl."I giggled when he called me that. Sabi niya kahit ilan taon na daw ako, ako pa rin ang number 1 baby girl niya. Naupo ako sa visitors chair na

Tia left the prom already. I saw her exiting the premises and I found myself wondering where she went. It's not my business, I know but I wanna know. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay may ginagawa si Tia na lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat. I just want to know so I can tease her about it.The prom was a bit boring for me. I was just sitting on my corner watching my classmates as they danced the night away. People were asking me to dance too, but I don't want to move a muscle. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay walang kwenta kung gagalaw man ako. I don't like this event. Pumunta lang ako para maisuot ang gown na binili ni Mama para sa akin. She bought the gown from Paris Fashion Week and I could already imagine her reaction kung sinabi ko sa kanya na ayokong magpunta talaga doon.I wanna be somewhere else...I wann be away... with that one person who can make my heart beat faster and faster and faster... Iyong tipong hinihingal na ako pero kinakaya ko dahil masarap sa pakiramdam na kasama ko siya. I want to be with

It was Tia vejar's eighteenth birthday and everyone in the family was invited. That night we were inside the Consunji Hotel's premises. Lahat ay naroon – mula sa lahat ng pinsan ni Mama hanggang sa mga pinsan ko – and because it was Tia's birthday – naroon din si Percy at ang mga kapatid nito. Tulad ng dati ay hindi ako sumasayaw kahit na halos lahat ng mga anak ng ka-business partner ng mga magulang at tyuhin ko ay inaayaw ko. Hindi ako sumasayaw dahil naroon si Percy – hindi ko lang talaga gusto.It was Tia's night and she really owned it. Napaka-emotional noong father and daughter dance nila ni Uncle Hades. It made me a bit teary eyed at dahil doon, niyaya kong sumayaw ang Daddy ko."Dad... dad..." May kausap siyang mga business people but he stopped talking to them the moment I called him."Everyone, this is my princess, Haley Demitri." Pakilala ni Daddy sa akin."Good evening..." I flashed my sweetest smile. Hinatak ko ang kamay ni Daddy tapos ay hinarap ko siya. "Dad, sayaw tayo

I am twenty – four now – and so far, I haven't forgotten what happened to me in the Philippines, almost eight years ago.Somehow, I think about coming back now, and it makes me feel different.I was looking at the window – all I could see were clouds and that little sunshine that's trying to break free from the clouds surrounding it. Tumaas ang sulok ng bibig ko."Perc, are you alright?" The woman beside me asked me. Her name was Alaina and right now, she's the girl I wanna fuck and I'm taking her home to the Philippines – just to fuck her there. Hindi ko naman siya kailangan ipakilala sa mga magulang ko lalo naman sa Mama ko, ma-stress lang ang Mama ko sa kanya.Lumapag ang eroplano sa lupaing sinilangan ko. I inhaled the air and felt a bit nostalgic."So, when are you going to introduce me to your parents?""Hindi kita ipapakilala sa mga magulang ko, Alaina. I'm going home, you're staying in a hotel and n Thursday, susunduin kita dahil pupunta tayo ng Boracay and in that place, I am

Life and Death

"Ma, sigurado ka bang anak mo ako? Hindi ba ako ampon o kaya man anak ni Papa sa ibang babae tapos bago mo pinatay iyong babae ni Papa kinuha mo ako and you raised me that will make me just a Vejar not a Consunji - Vejar as your own o kaya man, napulot lang ako sa tae ng kalabaw tulad ng panay sinasabi ni Kuya Pol sa akin noong bata ako o kaya man naiwan lang ako sa labas ng gate ng bahay natin o sa parking lot malapit sa kotse mo o kaya napalitan ako sa ospital? Anak mo ba talaga ako? Kasi baka nakalimutan mo lang tapos hindi mo talaga ako anak..."My mother's mouth fell open after hearing what I had to say. Alam ko naman ang tungkol sa sakit niya. In fact, lahat kami ay alam na ang sakit niya and true to my words, I avcted surprised. Nangyari iyon nang minsang mag-away sila ni Eleithiya at nawala si Mama sa sarili niya. She got lost. Natagpuan namin siya sa dati niyang silid sa ancestral home nila kung saan si Uncle Hermes na ang nakatira.I was hurt badly when I realized that she d

"Get in the fucking car! Get in the car! Now, Asshole!"Kinuha ako ni Uncle Helios sa kwelyo at pilit pinasasakay sa kotse niya. Kita ko ang galit sa mga mata niya and now, I was wishing that I told him it was a joke and that I didn't mean to piss him off but how can I be free if I say that? Kung papatayin niya ako at least mamamatay akong sinusubukang ipaglaban ang nararamaman ko. Hindi kami magiging malaya kung patuloy akong tatahimik.Haley doesn't need war but I wanna give it toher. She deserves to be fought for. I deserve her and I will fight for her because I love her – love has no boundaries. Love knows no blood relationship – when you love, you love – love has no exceptions.Sumakay nga ako sa kotse ni Uncle Helios. He told the driver to drive away. Humabol ako nang tingin sa mansion namin dahil malaki ang posibilidad na hindi ko na masilayan ang sikat ng araw bukas.Alam ko, papatayin niya ako at dahil siya si Helos Demitri – malaki ang posibilidad na wala nang maghanap sa ak

He ruined everything."Manong pakibilisan po. Kailangan kong maabutan sila Daddy."I couldn't contain my feels anymore. I was crying while in the car. I needed to let it out bago ako humarap kay Daddy at Mama. I couldn't believe that Percy did this to me. Ang akala ko ay maayos na siya sa kung anong meron kami at kung hanggang saan na lang kami. Hindi niya ba talaga maintindihan na ayaw ko at hindi na pwede?I loved him. I really did. I was happy back then. My heart beats faster when he holds my hand or when I see him just around the corner. Tumitigil ang mundo ko kapag naririnig ko ang boses niya.It was back then, now it's all over. I have made my choice and I will stand by it whatever happens.But Percy just have to ruin the things that I worked so hard for!When I reached home, halos takbuhin ko ang distansya ng parking lot papunta sa bahay namin. I went upstairs and looked for my parents. I found Mama in their room. She was sitting on the side of the bed, she was holding a cold c

The Sun, The dawn and the moon

Life was a lot easier when I didn't know who I really was. I used to bea normal college student. I was the star varsity player of our university. Mahirap ang buhay ko kaya seryoso ako sa paglalaro ng basketball dahil doon sa larong iyon nanggaling ang scholarship ko. Kapag nawala ang scholarship ko, hindi ko na alam kung saan ako pupulutin.I don't have real parents. I was stuck with my adoptive father, isa siyang constructions worker. Magkasundo naman kaming dalawa. Tinutulungan ko siya sa pagtatrabaho kapag wala akong pasok at kapag wala akong laro. Mahal ko ang tatay ko iyon nga lang, walang nakaalam sa university kung ano talaga ang estado ng buhay ko.They all thought that I am rich – a son of a CEO, a very rich man. Kung alam lang nila kung ano talaga ako, siguro ay hindi nila gugustuhin na maging kaibigan ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganoon ang naisip nila sa akin. Wala naman akong binanggit na galing ako sa mayamang pamilya. Hindi rin naman ako magarang magsuot ng damit, wala

Unang Halik

"Magkano ang isang order nitong, dinuguan?"Dumako ang tingin ni Adelina sa lalaking nakatayo sa kanyang harapan. Inis na inis na siya dito dahil kanina pa nito binubuklat ang mga lalagyanan ng ulam na kanilang tinda ngunit hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ito nakakapili. Nayayamot na siya. Nakatayo siya doon habang nakahalukipkip at nakataas ang kilay. Pinakikita niya ang inip sa kanyang mukha. Inis na inis na siya. Kulang na lang ay tikman nito ang lahat ng putaheng niluto ni Aling Chona. Si Aling Chona ang may-ari ng karinderya na pinagtatrabahuhan niya."Kahit magkano pa iyan, ang tanong, bibili ka ba?" Lalong tumaas ang kilay niya. Noon lang dumako ang tingin sa kanya ng namimili. Napapailing ito at saka binuksan na naman ang isang kaldero. Sa inis niya ay hinampas niya ang kamay nito at sinimulan niyang bungangaan. Ayaw na ayaw niya ng mga customer na ganito. Iyong buklat nang buklat tapos hindi naman malaman kung anong bibilihin."Kung hindi ka naman bibili, 'wag ka nang magbukl
