Chapter 30. “Can’t be avoided”
Chapter 30. “Can’t be avoided”
Every day, there are about 150,000 people died. And many people are mourning losing a loved one. The human body is made of billions of cells as they grow, and when that cell biologically stops functioning, the human body will eventually die. They say that nobody knows how and when are we gonna die, nobody knows what will happen when our time arrived. Death is part of our life. We are all born to live and we are all gonna die. Nobody can escape death, death is inevitable.

Tulala ako habang nakaupo dito sa may swing sa may playground. Hawak ko ang tali ni Sham-sham dahil naglakad-lakad muna kami dito sa village. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko ang nangyari noong nakaraang araw. Hindi kami nakapunta sa appointment namin na kausapin si Aldwin Herrera kahapon, tumawag daw sa kanya si Kuya Alf na we will do the interrogation tomorrow, kahit kahapon noong nagkita

Dysfunctional Chapter 31. “Jealousy and confession,”
Chapter 31. “Jealousy and confession,”Pagpasok ni Jimwel sa loob ay sige naman ang tahol ni Sham-sham sa kanya. Nilapitan ko si Sham-sham dahil parang galit na galit ang aso sa nakita niyang bagong tao.“Sham…” sabi ko habang hinihipos ang balahibo ng aso. Napatingin naman ako kay Gavril nang marinig ko siyang tumawa at nagtaka. “Bakit?” tanong ko. Tumatawa niya akong tiningnan.“Wala.” Pagdadahilan lang niya habang winawagayway ang kamay sa akin saka tiningnan si Jimwel. Si Jimwel naman ay parang inis na tiningnan lang si Gavril. Hinawakan ko si Sham-sham para makadaan si Jimwel at makapasok sa loob.Pumasok na kaming tatlo sa loob. Pero naiilang talaga ako sa kanilang dalawa, parang may tension sa bawat tinginan nila at kanina ko pa napapansin ‘yon. Tiningnan ko si Jimwel, panay lang ang tingin niya sa buong bahay. Ibang-iba talaga siya sa Jimwel na nakilala ko noong
Dysfunctional Chapter 32. “Justice will prevail”
Chapter 32. “Justice will prevail”“He is joining us today.” Nahihiyang sagot ko. Nagulat si Gavril at napasalubong agad ng kilay at tiningnan ng masama si Jimwel.“Don’t worry, I won’t cause you guys trouble. I just wanna hang with you, Roux.” Sabat naman ni Jimwel. Masama pa rin siyang tinitingnan ni Gavril.“Fine. But we will not use your car.” Sabi ni Gavril at kinuha ang phone niya at may tinawagan. “Hurry.” ‘Yon lang ang narinig ko sa sinabi niya sa phone.Ilang minuto lang ay may isang SUV ang pumarada sa harap ng bahay namin. Lumabas doon ang driver nila Gavril.“Let’s go.” Ani Gavril at binuksan ang pinto ng back seat at pinauna akong pumasok. Sumunod naman siya at tumabi sa akin. Tiningnan ko siya at nakangiti siya ng malapad.Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto sa tabi ko at doon pumasok si Jimwel at tumabi sa akin.
Dysfunctional Chapter 33. “The pen under the bed”
Chapter 33. “The pen under the bed”Gavril assembled the whiteboard again, iniharap niya ito sa aming tatlo. Alexis, Amanda, and I are now sitting on the sofa, of course, Amanda is in the middle, Alexis is still careful to touch me, while Gavril is in front of us standing in front of the whiteboard holding a marker on his right hand. Amanda asked me earlier what are those words written on the whiteboard and I told her that those are the things in my vision about Francine’s death. Hindi pa rin namin binubura ang mga sinulat namin last time sa may whiteboard.Tiningnan ko si Alexis and he seems so excited to know what is Gavril is going to say about the statement that we got from the suspect, Aldwin Herrera. At kahit kasama ako ni Gavril kaninang nakipag-usap sa suspect ay wala akong idea kung sino ang culprit sa kasong ito. But Gavril said that he knows who is the real murderer.“Roux,” napatingin ako nang k
Dysfunctional Chapter 34. “Scars of the past”
Chapter 34. “Scars of the past”The silence in my room is deafening. I can only hear the ticking of the clock while staring at my room’s ceiling. It is quarter in the midnight and I am lying in my bed trying to sleep but I can’t. Up until now, I am still thinking about what I saw earlier about Gavril. It happened again. I saw a vision of Gavril’s death. Pero tulad noong unang may nakita ako sa kanya noong hawakan niya ako, hindi pa rin ito kumpleto. Hindi ko alam kung kailangan ito mangyayari o ano ang kabuuhan kung paano mangyayari ang magiging pagkamatay niya. It is so confusing and I don’t know what is going on.Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata habang ramdam ko ang kaba sa aking dibdib habang pabalik-balik sa aking isipan ang mga nakita ko kanina. Natatakot ako. Nalulungkot ako. Naiiyak ako at sobrang naguguluhan sa nangyayari. I though I will never see anything about his death. I thought he was the
Dysfunctional Chapter 35. “Rage, Revenge and Reflection”
Chapter 35. “Rage, Revenge and Reflection”We’ve arrived at Domingo’s house. Malayo kami sa bahay ng mga Domingo at nasa loob pa rin kami ng sasakyan habang inooberbahan ang paligid ng bahay ng mga Domingo. And even if this house is inside an exclusive and executive village, the Domingo family wanted to secure the house, especially while the prosecutors and the polices’ investigations are still ongoing.About what I said earlier about Gavril’s death, they asked me if I can tell more details about what I saw in my vision and I agreed with them.“There are two guards in front of the house,” Amanda said.“What is the plan?” tanong ni Gavril kay Alexis. Seryoso lang namang nakatingin si Alexis sa labas ng sasakyan at saka ngumisi.“Ikot tayo sa likod ng bahay.”Gavril requested the driver to turn. Pagdating namin sa likod ng bahay, ay bumaba na kami
Dysfunctional Chapter 36. “You are beautiful”
Chapter 36. “You are beautiful”Few days had past after we got the pen in Francine’s room. The polices and prosecutors did their job to investigate the sister of Francine and they also have their hearing and on the hearing, Francine’s sister admitted the crime she have done. Alexis, Gavril and I was there and we heard the story between them. The one who texted Aldwin was her, the one who have killed her own sister was her, the one who did this hideos crime and framed someone up was her.I saw Aldwin cried and shout from the top of his lungs. He was really angry that time. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang sinabi niya noon sa amin ni Gavril.“I have proved my innocence but how could I live now freely when the love of my life is not here with me?” Umiiyak na sabi niya sa amin.“Think about what Francine will feel now, I know that she don’t you to be punished for the crime you did not do. I k
Dysfunctional Chapter 37. “A companion forever”
Chapter 37. “A companion forever”It’s quarter to 6:00 in the morning, nakabihis na ako and I am standing here outside the main door while waiting for Gavril to arrive. Today we will have a three-day vacation for the kite competition in Cavite, at napag-usapan namin na maagang umalis para mamasyal pa kami sa Tagaytay ngayong umaga.Gavril settled everything. He said that I don’t need to worry. I don’t know if I should call this a date, but yes, maybe it is a date. And besides, this is the only time again that I will visit Tagaytay because the last time I’ve been there was when I was a kid when my parents took me there for my 8th birthday. Gusto ko ring makalanghap ng malamig at sariwang hangin.Maya-maya pa ay napalingon ako sa gate nang
Dysfunctional Chapter 38. “Purpose in life”
Chapter 38. “Purpose in life”“Are you okay?” rinig kong tanong ni Gavril. Tulala lang ako sa labas ng sasakyan. Papunta na kami sa Tierra de Maria, dito daw muna kami pumunta para magdasal.Tumango lang ako bilang sagot sa tanong ni Gavril taliwas sa totoo kong nararamdaman.“I know you’re not fine.” Aniya na kinabigla ko. Tiningnan ko siya at nakangiti siya habang tutok ang mata sa daan habang nagmamaneho. “Iniisip ko rin naman ‘yon.” Dagdag pa niya.Napabuntong-hininga ako at napanguso.“Bakit ba ang hirap maniwala ng isang tao?” malungkot kong sabi.I was referring to what happened in the hotel lobby earlier. Nang marinig namin ni Gavril ang pangalan ng babaeng magchecheck-in ay agad namin siyang nilapitan at kinausap. Gavril approached them very well. Tinitigan ko ring mabuti ang mukha ng babae at inalala ang nasa vision ko tungkol sa fourt
