Love Thy Punishment Chapter 24
I don't know how I slept last night and how I managed to go to bed. All I can remember is that I'm just leaning my head on Asher's shoulder, nothing more. I didn't waste time na so I took a bath before going downstairs only to find out that Asher is there talking to Aeris."What are you doing here?" I asked him kahit na hindi pa ako nakakababa ng hagdan. They both turned their heads to me and suddenly shut their mouth which made me raise my brow. "Are you guys backstabbing me?"They both looked at each other before Asher stood up to greet me. "Good morning.""What?" masungit na tanong ko. Inirapan ko siya bago umupo sa pwesto niya kanina. "How's your work?" I asked Aeris."I'm still in the process of learning everything, not yet working," she told me. "And can you send someone else to teach me? Sobrang annoying kasi ni Kaito. He always finds time to annoy me. At sobrang kulit niya rin, he’s very talkative, too.”"He's not Kaito if he's not like that," I replied. "Ano nga? Anong pinag

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

"I---""I know what you're thinking. don't try to tell me that," she cut me off."Rose...""Sia, ayan ka nanaman. You're being impulsive again. Basta-basta ka nanaman gumagawa ng desisyon. I told you to avoid doing that.""I know, okay? But at least this time it's for my family. Please? I am willing to pay---""Don't you dare say that in front of me. I am warning you," may diing sabi niya."Please," I pleaded. "I'm doing this for Aeris. This will be the last. Huli na 'to, I promise," I begged her."Alam ba ng kapatid mo 'to? Alam ba ni Asher?""They don't have to know.""Sia," she sighed. "This will be the last I'm letting you do the things you want."She hold my hand and in just a blink of an eye, naglalakad na kami papasok sa isang mansion. It's been how many years simula noong huling punta ko dito at ngayon, babalik nanaman ako."Alessia," she greeted us when we entered her office. She's Athena, one of the most powerful deity. "Sabi na nga ba dahil nakaramdam ako ng hindi maganda."

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

"Good morning..."I woke up because of the voice I heard. I haven't opened my eyes completely yet but I know that was Asher because of his scent."Breakfast?" he asked me while smiling. I saw him surveying me before looking at me again. "How are you feeling?""Feeling better," I replied before getting up. He stood up and approached me before fixing the few hairs that went to my face."Cute mo," he said before pinching my cheek which made me groan in annoyance."Masakit!" reklamo ko nang bitiwan niya. Tumawa lang siya bago ako hinila pababa. I saw Aeris who was already preparing the food."You cook?" I asked her."Ha? Hindi! Siya nagluto," dali-daling sabi niya na parang hindi makapaniwala na tinanong ko sa kaniya 'yon."Sabi ko nga," sabi ko na lang ng maalalang wala nga palang alam si Aeris sa pagluluto, just like me. "Okay ka na ba? Wala na bang masakit sa 'yo?" she asked me."I'm totally fine," nakangiting sagot ko. I waited for Asher to finish putting food on my plate before I s
Love Thy Punishment Chapter 29
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
Love Thy Punishment Chapter 30
The fear of death is a result of the fear of living. Death is not the polar opposite of life, but rather an integral part of it.Hinihingal akong tumigil sa paglalakad saka pilit hinahabol ang hininga ko habang nakatungkod ang dalawang kamay sa siko, bahagyang nakayuko."I found you," mahinang sabi ko.There he is, sitting alone on the floor, looking up in the sky. Gustuhin ko man siyang lapitan kaagad but I had this urge to stay in my place where I can see his back. Where I can see him without him noticing it.For the second time, I heard him sighed. I smiled before looking at what he was holding. A candle and a lighter. Beside him is a bouquet of flowers, with a grave in front of him."Lapit ka."Napalingon kaagad ako sa likuran ko nang bigla siyang magsalita, ganoon na rin sa tabi ko dahil sa gulat. Does he knew I'm behind?"I don't like people staring at my back," he added pero hindi niya pa rin ako nililingon. I heard him sighed again that's why I decided to walk towards him. Sin

"Sia..." he said. "I like you."I didn't know how I reacted. Nakalimutan ko atang huminga sa mga oras na 'yon nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya."Huh?" I asked, still confused. I understand what he said pero hindi ko pa rin masyadong nakuha. "You what?""I like you," he seriously said. "And I'm asking your thoughts about that.""Uh," I said. "Like what?"He laugh a little. "Bakit? Okay lang ba?""Ha?"Doon na siya tuluyang natawa. "Wow, I just confessed my feelings for you. Tapos ganiyan?""Why do you like me?" I asked him."Hindi ko alam," sagot niya. "It just happens. Isang araw, alam ko nalang na may gusto na ako sayo.""Are you really serious?" paniniguro ko. "Well, thank you... if you like me. But I suggest you to please... stop," nakangiting sabi ko."What do you mean?" medyo gulat na tanong niya."That's not a good idea," I directly said. "It's not... it's no good.""Paano mo nasabi? Are you saying you're declining my confession?""Hindi. I am giving you advice on what you should
