Chapter XXXVIII
"What?" I held my breath for a long time, trying to process what he just said. "H-How?"
Yumuko siya saka humugot nang malalim na hinga.
"I... I was really mad at him that I wanted to kill him with my own hands because of what he did to you... to us." He balled his fist as he remembered what happened. I knew where he was coming from. "Everything's a mess when you're away, Jez."
I kept my gaze on Asher. But it's already a mess when we cheated on Dwight before. I stopped myself from saying those words.
"Tell me what happened, Asher. How did you kill Terrence?" I was eager to know the answer.
"I drove fast and the next thing I knew, I killed him. I was in jail for 2 years, Jez. I couldn'

"Mommy, are we going to Philippines?" kuryosong tanong ni Aiofhe habang nakaupo sa gilid at pinapasadaan ng tingin ang mga magazines. Pansin kong bata pa lamang ay sobrang mahilig na siya sa mga magazines, lalo na kapag tungkol sa mga damit. She's so interested on it.Tumango ako. "Yes nak. Remember Lola Andrea?""Yup. She's your mommy."I chuckled. "She's so pretty and kind like you, anak."Nangingiti siya habang binalik ang atensyon sa pagbabasa.Asher told me he would visit today again. We are also used to his presence. He was wearing a black basic statement shirt and black pants when he arrived. Napansin ko pa ang nakasukbit na gitara sa kanyang likuran. My heart hammered instant

I woke up another day as the rays of the scorching sun came into view."Summer na pala," I told myself as I got up from the bed.Days turned weeks. Weeks turned to years.A year has already passed. Asher was consistently communicating with us right after he flew back to the Philippines. He never missed a day to talk to us even through phone. It was difficult being apart from him again but I have to deal with it. It's his personal issue he wanted to overcome on his own. How brave of him to get therapy after everything that happened. We were all wrecked. I remember the time that I also had to endure PTSD after I gave birth to Aiofhe and the anxiety attacks I had after Terrence abducted me. Those were the darkest moments.I suffered from severe anxiety. The episodes of constant fear and worry that I always felt whenever I thought of Terrence. Na baka pagmulat ko ng mata ay nasa harapan

"What do you want to order?" I asked as I seated. He also sat adjacent to me."Just a juice will do," sagot niya. I ordered his drinks after.Nang makabalik sa upuan ay hindi ko alam kung ano ang unang sasabihin. I inhaled sharply before I spoke."How are you?" Sabay naming nasambit kaya pareho kaming natawa."Okay naman," sagot ko. "Ikaw?""Good. I was actually surprised that you called me. It's been a long time since the last time we met. You still look pretty," aniya. Nahiya naman ako nang kaunti sa sinabi niya."You and your compliments." I laughed."It's true. You've been alwa

"Bilib din ako sa inyo no," she told me as her eyes were flaring.Asher came back and stood frozen beside me when he saw Terrence's mother."I did everything I could do to destroy you but you're still happy while we are suffering terribly!""Ma'am, how many times do I have to apologize for what I did?" I looked at Asher who moved forward and stared at her with the same intensity. "Hindi po ba't pinagbayaran ko na ang nagawa ko?""Maibabalik niyo ba ang anak ko?! He could've lived and stayed with us!" She was loudly crying. Nasa labas kami at nagsimula ng mapunta sa amin ang atensyon ng mga tao."Your son did something to us, too! He sexually harassed her and abused her. We never even

After Asher's proposal, I said yes.Bakit pa nga ba namin patatagalin pa kung kami rin naman sa huli? It was our choice to keep each other and we would do it until the last breath of our lives.He was smiling from ear to ear when I told him I wanted to marry him, too. It felt surreal but I hope this happiness won't be taken away within our grasp."Stop smiling. You look crazy," I told him. Hindi ako makatulog dahil sa kanya. Mukha na siyang nababaliw dahil kanina pa nakangiti."Why? You agreed to marry me.""And? Bawiin ko na lang kaya." Kaagad na sumama ang tingin niya sa akin. "I'm just kidding.""What did you say?" Pi

"What am I going to do with you?" tanong ni Asher saka tumayo. Nakakunot ang noo ko nang hinarap ko siya. Kakalabas ko lamang sa kwarto. Nilapitan ko siya."Why?"Kakatapos ko pa lang mag-ayos para sa binyag ng anak ni Dwight. I was honestly hesitating whether I would go or not. Aattend ako sa binyag ng ex ko, sounds weird right? But Asher told me Dwight was expecting me to come so I had no choice."You're so pretty," he said which made me blushed."Bolero." Natawa ako. I wore the blue maxim dress I bought the last time. Kasama namin dapat si Aiofhe pero masakit ang tiyan kaninang umaga kaya hindi makakapunta. Pinainom ko na ng gamot at nagpapahinga na ngayon. Buti na lang nandito si Mommy para bantayan siya.

Foremost Keeper Chapter XLVI
"Nahanap mo na?" tanong ni Dwight sa tabi ko. Ibinuga ko ang usok ko sa bibig at itinapon ang sigarilyo sa sahig. I puffed cigarettes every time I was frustrated. Hindi ko na mabilang kung pang-ilan ko na ngayong araw. Umiling ako. "Hindi pa rin." "Don't lose hope. You'll soon find her." Dwight encouraged. Would I still be able to find her? What if it was really her choice to leave me alone? If she was suffering, I wanted to be with her but how could I when she chose to leave me? I didn't want know what to do anymore. Everything just piles up. I couldn't even breathe properly! Mabigat pa rin ang aking dibdib dahil sa mga nangyari. Ang hirap tanggapin ng puso ko na tuluyan ng umalis si Jezrel at iniwan ako.
