《Arkiyo Liondel is my ENEMY》CHAPTER 12
Advertisement
Pagtapos ng gabing iyon ay agad din akong inuwe nina mama sa bahay. Kinulong nila ako sa kwarto ng ilang araw. Wala akong imik, bantay sarado ang buong paligid kaya hindi ko na inaasahang makita pa si Arkiyo o sila Belle. Mag mula nang mawal ang baby ko ay lagi nakong tulala, hindi ako kumakain o umiinom ng tubig. Lagi nalang akong umuubo na may kasamang dugo. Hindi ko na iniinda ang sakit ng ulo ko dahil sanay nako don.
Kasalukuyan akong nasa loob ng cr. Pinagmamasdan ko lang ang buong katawan ko sa salamin habang inaayos ang buhok ko.... Kaunting oras nalang at ikakasal nako kay Izmael.
Si Izmael Garnilio lang naman ang may-ari ng ibat ibang mamahaling pabango sa buong Asia kaya hindi malabong sya ang mapili ni daddy na ipakasal sakin. Napakasama nila.
Sinusuklay ko ang buhok ko kahit pa ang dami nang nalalagas dito. Napapanot na ang kalahati ng aking ulo pero wala akong pakielam dito. Hindi ko kaylangang mag paganda para sa lalaking hindi ko naman kilala.
***
Sabay kami bumaba ni Daddy at mama sa kotseng puti. Lahat sila ay masaya habang kinukunan kami ng litrato papasok sa simbahang mukhang palasyo. Ibat ibat mayayamang tao ang nandito.
Habang nag lalakad ay wala akong imik. Wala nakong pake sa mga mangyayari saakin lalo na't wala na ang pinakamahahalagang tao saaking buhay.
Lahat sila kinamumuhian ko lalo ka ang sarili kong ama na walang ginawa kundi pahirapan ang mga anak nya.
Wala pa kami sa gitna nang maramdaman kong sumasakit ang aking dibdib at ulo. Ang sakit nito, maya-maya lang ay nanlabo nadin ang paningin ko.... Isang hakbang pa at paniguradong tataob na ang katawan ko.
"D-dad.." huling lumabas sa dila ko bago ako mahimatay.
***
Magmula nang ilayo sakin ni Mr. Antonio si Khalia ay wala nakong nagawa. Kinulong ko ang sarili ko sa madilim kong kwarto at nilamon nako ng alak. Wala kang makikitang magandang gamit diti sa loob ng kwartong ito, lahat ay sira at wasak-wasak na.

Nang ibalita saamin ng mga Vallderama ang pagkawala ng anak ko ay para nakong nabaliw. Para akong bata na nawalan ng daan-daang laruan. Hindi ko magawang ngumiti o mag salita.
Akmang lalagok pako ng alak nang mag ring ang celkphone ko... Si Mr. Antonio.
Agad ko iyong sinagot, hindi naman siguro sya tatawag para lang sa wala.
"Please come to the Asian Hospital now."
Hindi ko alam pero sinunod ko sya. Kasama ko sina Belle, Al and Dilan papunta sa lugar na sinasabi ni Mr. Antonio. Bigla nalang din kasi ako nakaramdam ng kaba, hindi ko maisip kung anong dahilan pero sinunod ko sya. Bahala na.
***
Pinapasok kami nt dalawang body guard sa malaking kuwarto. Bumungad saamin sina Mrs. Amalia at Mr. Antonio kasama ang panganay nilang si Ate Armia na mukhang kakatapos lang umiyak.
Walang lumabas na kahit anong boses sakanila... Dahan-dahan silang nag hiwa-hiwalay at tumambad saakin ang nanghihinang katawan ni Khalia sa kama.
Agad syang tinakbo ni Belle at niyakap.
Naistatuwa naman ako sa eksenang ito. Mukha syang may malubhang sakit na para bang bibigay na. Panot na ang kalahati nyang ulo at para bang hindi pa kumakain ng isang linggo, tuyo nadin ang labi nito at malaki na ang eyebags.
Dahan-dahan ko syang nilapitan.
"A-anong meron?" utal na tanong ko. Tila ba ayaw mag proseso nito.
"She have a Cancer." Diretsong sabi ni Mr. Antonio. "Stage 4"
Nanlumo ako saaking mga narinig. Para akong nabingi sa mga oras nato. Ayaw tanggapin ng mga tenga ko ang bawat salitang sinasabi ni Mr. Antonio.
"Malubha na ang sakit nya at mayroon nalang syang dalawa hanggang tatlong linggo para..." Sandali syang lumagok ng laway bago muling mag salita.
"Para mabuhay."
Matapos kong marinig yon ay bumagsak muli ang luga saaking mga mata. Wala nakong marinig, gusto ko nalang maging bulag at bingi dahil sa mga nangyayating ito.
Pinagmasdan ko si Khalia na kakamulat lang. Patuloy na umaagos ang luha sakanyang mga mata kaya agad ko iyong pinunasan...
Hindu ito ang mundong pinangarap ko para saming dalawa.

So in the meantime, this is your chance to log into the world of Atone Online for free. Hope you enjoy. ©Aiden Steele
8 138Collision of Myths
You all have probably heard this one. A hero is summoned from another world and is needed to defeat evil. That's all well and good. But this story is not about him. No, this story is about His younger brother who has been reincarnated as one of his descendants. And he's bringing with him all the myths and cultures from the other world with him. His journey will be one crazy turn after another. But it looks like he's just the person to accept the challenge. P.S. This is my first time writing stuff like this so go easy on me with the comments. I may also need some help with spelling and grammar. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay
8 91RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
