MY BLACK CAR HALTED in front of a grand staircase with red carpets, cameras, and paparazzis, waiting to get a quick interview from me. I then went out of the car in a red business attire. Inaayos ko ang kwelyo ko habang nag palinga-linga sa paligid.The hotel resort was wide, covered by bricked paths and artificial meadows. Everything around was touched with old styles of architecture. Not far from here was a fountain with a plainly furnished statue.Hindi ko nakalimutan ang kasama ko, that's why I ran around the car and opened the door in the shotgun seat. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya dahil tiyak, hindi niya kakayaning bumaba mag-isa sa suot niya.As Kachina stepped out her black heels on the red carpet, I could her the camera shutters behind me. Halo-halo ang ingay at sigaw mula sa reporters kaya hindi ko na lang inatubiling pakinggan isa-isa.My eyes were fixated at Kachina's super long gown. Para siyang ikakasal sa gabing ito. As an engineer, I can't help but measure it by sight. Aa

I HAVE THOUGHT long and deep enough that I want to cut ties with everything that's keeping us apart. Hindi ko na maatim ang makulong sa walang hanggang kalungkutan sa piling ng taong hindi ko naman mahal.Even when I was just a boy, I did what I was told. Iyan ang isiniksik ko sa kokote ko. I promised myself to become the most obedient son my mother could ever have. Naging sunod-sunuran ako at nawalan ng dila dahil sa mga salitang pinapakain nila sa utak ko.Simula noong inampon ako sa pamilyang nagpalaki sa akin, I strove hard to never cause something that's gonna disappoint them. Iniisip ko lagi na kapag nadismaya ko sila, kay Mama ang bawi ng mga kamalian ko.Ayaw ko ring mapahiya si Mama sa harap ng kanyang asawa. I didn't want them to fight again because of me. Dahil hindi pa rin mabura sa isipan ko ang gabing iyon. It had pinned me in the corner. That time I was still innocent and too paralyzed to even protect my mother.The night she brought me to her husband's mansion after my

FOR THIS LOVE… THIS RIGHT LOVE, we left what’s ours behind. For this furious love, we angered and shamed and disowned who dared to wreck it. For this passionate love, we kissed each of our flaws and embraced our vulnerability. And for this love… this irrevocable love, we vowed to stay, to hold onto this, like she is my air and I am her last breath. “We’ll live here for the meantime,” I told Shanta habang padaong kami ng barko. My right hand held her waist while my left hand carried our baggage. Inalalayan ko siyang bumaba ng yate hanggang sa makatapak kami sa puting buhangin ng isla. We just arrived last night from Manila. At nagpalipas muna kami ng gabi sa isang hotel dito sa Bohol. “Wait for me here,” bulong ko kay Shanta saka hinalikan siya sa gilid ng noo. “Baby, I’ll be back. For now, admire the view. We’ll mark every corner later.” Ramdam ko ang pagtingala niya sa akin. I looked down at her gorgeous face. Bakas ang gulat doon. I chuckled, then sniffed her blowing hair. Hindi

WHAT IS MY BABY DOING?” I asked Shanta, then went behind her. We just arrived from the village market at nadatnan ko siyang naghuhugas ng mga gulay. I kissed her neck while my arms surrounded her waist. Napagod akong magmaneho ng barko. Pakiramdam ko rin ay masakit ang ulo ko mula sa pagkakababad sa tirik na araw. It’s already two in the afternoon when I woke up. At dahil kakagising ko, kailangan ko ng halik niya. “Do you want help, Baby?” I asked again while sniffing her right shoulder. She doesn’t seem to be bothered, so I tightened my grip. Patuloy siya sa paghuhugas ng mga gulay. “What are you cooking for us, hmm? Kasing-sarap mo ba ‘yan?” “Baby…” She giggled when I licked her jaw. Napangisi ako dahil ang bango niya. Nakakabaliw. “Umupo ka na lang doon. You’re starting it again. Wala tayong maluluto nito kapag ganyan ka.” I chuckled. “But I’m full. Pinakain mo ‘ko kanina.” “Kagan!” suway niya at humagalpak ako ng tawa. “Alright, alright…” “Panoorin mo na lang ako.” Hin

NAGDAAN ANG MGA ARAW at hindi lumipas ang nga gabi na wala kaming ginagawang espesyal. At para sa araw na ito, it took me connections and a few days to make it happen. Ilang mga kaibigan ko sa akademiya ang pinakiusapan ko para maging matagumpay ang hapong ito. And as I held Shanta’s hand up the yacht, wala pa rin siyang ideya kung para saan ito. “May ginawa ka bang kasalanan sa akin kaya mo ginagawa ito?” She speculated with her beautiful eyes squinting. I chuckled as she roamed her eyes around the deck. “Is that what you think?” I asked scornfully. “Bakit? Bawal bang i-date ang magiging Misis ko?” “Malay ko ba kung may ginawa ka palang kasalanan sa akin at panakip-butas mo lang ito para hindi ko ‘yon malaman,” angil niya at mas natawa ako. Her back was facing me as she admired the turquoise blue sea ahead. Nagmistula itong larawang tatatak sa isip ko. I watched as the fresh wind blew Shanta’s lengthy, wavy hair. Parang imbes na iyon ang tangayin, ako ang natatangay sa taglay na

TILA SA NAGDAANG LINGGO, binalot ng kadiliman ang mundo ko. Nawala ang liwanag at kailanman, hindi na sumilay pa. Nakakalula. Nakakasakal. Sobrang sikip sa pakiramdam. Parang naglalakad ako sa isang kwebang walang katapusan. Umaasa akong aabot ako hanggang dulo. Bagsak na bagsak ang mga balikat ko. Hindi ako makahinga. Tila naglalakad ako milyon-milyong tinik at ang mga paa ko’y sugatan… duguan. Tila lumulubog ang katawan ko sa bigat ng tubig sa karagatan. Unti-unti, binababa ako nito sa aking katapusan. Ang mga kamay ko, nakataas, sinusubukang abutin ang liwanag. Mulat pa rin ang mga mata, nagbabalik-tanaw ako sa mga ngiti at labis na saya noong ipaglaban ko ang pag-ibig ko. Magaan sa loob, pinili ang puso, at pinairal ang pagmamahal. Nakahanda akong tanggapin ang katapusan ko, ngunit hindi sa paraang ganito. Hawak ko pa ang kamay niya. Galit na galit ako sa sarili ko... na nabitawan ko siya. Isang... isang malaking pagsisisi ang hindi ko siya nahawakan. Nang mas mahigpit pa sa kaya

KAGAN, ANAK, are you busy?” After a few months since Shanta’s death, my mother would always enter my room to check on me. At sa tuwing papasok siya, she would oftenly see me working on my office table in front of a laptop. At sa tuwing itatanong niya ang bagay na iyan, pare-pareho lang ang sagot ko. “Yes, I am,” I said, pushing my eyeglasses up to look at her. Ngunit maling tiningnan ko pa siya, because the way she smiled at me was something I wouldn’t agree upon. “What else do you need, Ma?” “Well…” She made those puppy eyes. Bumalik ako sa laptop because I wasn’t really interested. “Are you gonna encourage me again to give her a chance, huh?” “She’s outside, Anak. Why don’t you stand up there and welcome her?” Mama suggested, then walked towards me. Nang tumabi ay niyakap niya ang kanang braso ko. “Please, Kagan. Lagi ka na lang nasa harap ng laptop mo. Hindi ka na umaalis diyan. Come on… It’s time that you relax from work.” I rolled my eyes. There she goes again, stopping me t

IT TOOK two years to complete the building of my business empire. After partnering with different companies to invest in my transportation company, naging matagumpay din ang pagbuo ng mga sasakyan at ngayong araw, ilalabas ito sa merkado. And my company gets the attention it really deserves. Dahil sa pagbaba ko ng aking sasakyan, the hall was jam packed with reporters, paparazzis, and media personalities.The camera flashed and shuttered at my arrival. I fixed my coat, then wore my black shades. I smiled expensively. What’s good about this event is its organization. These media men have their designated places. Nasa gilid sila, which is alongside the red scaffoldings that leave a huge space for the red carpet. Isa-isa nila akong tinawag para sa litrato.I looked left, then removed my sunglasses. Sa pagharap ko ay sinalubong ako ng kislap ng mga kamara. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako titingin, that’s why my face appeared serious. When I was satisfied with them capturing my arrival, humara
