Kabanata 3
Tatlong araw na kaming nandito sa penthouse. I don't have any idea why are we here? What does he want from me? Kapag tinatanong ko siya, his always saying we'll gonna stay here.
Ano ba ang karapatan niya at bakit ako kinukulong dito? He doesn't have any rights from me, simula ng sumuko ako wala na siyang karapatan sakin. Long time ago, I was his pet. But now? I don't care anymore about him.
Although nagiging marupok ako pagdating sa kanya. Lalo pa kung tinititigan niya ako sa mata. I just can't take his stare damn. Tangina hindi ko parin kayang makikipag titigan sa kanya, nakakapanghina parin ng tuhod ko.
Sa nangyari namin sa amin kahapon, hindi naman ako nailang sa kanya. Sa totoo nga, hinahamon niya pa ako na makipag one on one sa kanya. Anong akala niya sa akin papatulan yun? Manigas siya...
I'm still trying to understand why he doing this to me. Dapat ay wala na siyang pakealam sa akin, dapat hindi na niya ako ginugulo pero bakit ganito ang ginagawa niya? Bakit niya ako kinukulong dito? May mga trabaho akong dapat asikasuhin. This is wasting of time.
I don't want to waste my time on him...kung noon ay nagagawa kong sayangin lahat ng oras ko sa kanya ngayon ay wala na. I'm done with this long time ago, I'm done from him.
I was looking at my vision on the mirror. My hair is up to my shoulder, I didn't put any blonde on my hair because it's natural. I have a small pointed nose, thin lip and perfect eyebrows. Hindi ko na din kailangan maglagay ng blushes kasi maganda na ako kahit wala nun. I'm contented with my beauty, I'm contented what God gave to me.
Napahinto lang ako sa pagtingin ng sarili ko sa salamin ng lumabas sa banyo si Hermes na na walang saplot. Halos matumba ako dahil sa kanya, hindi ko akalaing gagawin niya yan. Bumilis bigla ang tibok ng puso ko dahil sa nakita kong pagkalalaki niya. Kahit may dalawang palad na nakatakip sa mata ko, hindi mawala sa imagination ko yung...yung buhay niyang alaga.
What the hell? I breathe hard before turning my back on him. I heard his little chuckle. Napakagat labi din ako dahil sa init na nararamdaman ko. Sa loob ng pitong taon, ngayon nalang ulit ako nakakita nun.
"Trying to keep your eyes from my brother inaanak ko.." Napakuyom ako ng palad dahil sa pang iinis niya.
Hindi ako nagsalita, umayos ako ng tayo bago dahan dahang lumapit sa kama. Naririnig ko ang yapak niya sa likod ko, kahit nanginginig hindi ko pinahalata sa kanya. Compose yourself Estrecia. Isa lang yang makating lalaki na pilit ginugulo ang buhay mo.
"Natikman mo naman na'to babe, diba nga sarap na sarap ka pa nun. You moan like there's no tomorrow.." Maririnig mo sa boses niya ang pang iinis. Umiling iling lang ako bago huminga ng malalim.
Pagsubok lang to self. Calm yourself damn.
Ano ba kasing pumasok sa kukute nitong lalaki kung bakit hindi gumamit ng tiwalya? Talaga bang wala na siyang utak? Matalino naman siya huh, he was the cum laude in our university back then.

"M-magdamit ka na nga, akala mo nakakatuwa yang ginagawa mo." Galit kong sabi bago patalikod na umupo sa kama. Shit hindi ko makalimutan yung ano niya....yung basta.
"Haha hindi mo ba nagustuhan tong ginawa ko inaanak? Bago kaya to, syempre luma na yong ginagawa ng ibang lalaki na lalabas ng banyo na may tiwalya pa na hanggang pusod lang. This is my version babe, don't you like it?" He stated like it's really funny. Naramdaman kong lumakad siya papuntang walk-in-closet.
Hindi ako sumagot at binalewala ang kabaliwan niya. Maya-maya lumabas siya na suot ang kulay pink na t-shirt at short short. Napahinga ako ng mabuti dahil sa wakas may damit na siyang suot.
Bakas parin sa mukha niya ang saya dahil sa pinag gagawa niyang kabalastugan. Pinagmamasdan ko lang ang ginagawa niya pero napansin ko ang maliit na tattoo sa batok niya. Nasa harap siya ng salamin kaya nakatalikod siya sa akin, base sa nakikita ko. Isa itong Roman numeral na sinulat sa maliit na letra.
IV.XV
Dahil sa kuryusidad ko, tumayo ako para mas lalong makita ng malapitan. Nang makarating ako sa likod niya, napatitig ako ng husto sa tattoo niya. Ano ba ang pinapahiwatig nito?
Wala sa sariling tinaas ang kamay at hinimas ang tattoo niya. Naguguluhan ako dahil sa Roman numeral na ginamit niya. Mahirap intindihin.
"Do you like it babe?" His baritone voice. Napatango ako at nagpatuloy sa pag himas ng tattoo niya.
Narinig ko ang mumunti niyang tawa bago tumango-tango sa akin. Hindi ko alam pero para akong nawawala sa isip, parang kinukuha ng tattoo niya ang atensyon ko. Para akong nahi-hypnotized.
"It's a roman numeral of your born month and born day.." He said in husky.
Napahinga ako ng malalim bago inalis ang kamay sa batok niya. Ngumiti lang ako ng malungkot bago tumalikod at hindi nalang pinansin ang sinabi niya.
Why do I care? Kahit pa iguhit niya ang mukha ko sa buong katawan niya hindi parin mawawala ang sakit na idinulot niya sa akin. The pain that I've been trying to forget still here, running back again to my memories.
Kahit pa anong gawin niya, hindi parin mawawala sa isip ko ang mga salitang binitawan niya. Yung pinaka importante sa akin nawala ng dahil sa kanya. Yung nag-iisang taong siguradong nagmamahal sa akin pinatay niya.
He killed him. My son...our son.
"Whatever Hermes..." Maikli kong sagot bago ako lumabas ng kwarto.
Naabutan ko naman ang kaibigan ko na nakikipag away kay Gavino. Galit na galit siya at gusto nang balatan ng buhay yung asawa niya.
"Putang ina mo palabasin niyo kami dito, ano ba kasing balak niyong magkapatid huh? Hoyy gago may trabaho kaming dapat gawin, kung gusto niyong makipag landian lang sa amin pumunta kayo dun sa The Cost Bar malamang maraming bayaran dun.." Sigaw ni Glenda bago tumalikod sa kawawang si Gavino. Tumama naman ang paningin sa akin ng butihin kong kaibigan.
Nanlaki ang mata niya bago tumakbo sa akin palapit. Mahigpit na yakap ang sinalubong niya sa akin, halos makain ko nga ang buhok niya dahil sa sobrang lapit namin. Grabe lang huh, miss na miss na ako...

"Naku friend akala ko talaga wala ka na. Ano bang nangyari sayo? At teka dito ka rin dinala ng lalaking yun?" Hinihingal niyang tanong habang hinawakan pa ako sa pisnge.
Napatawa nalang ako dahil sa mukha niya, priceless.
"Oo dito din ako dinala ng gagong yun. Atsaka okay lang naman ako, walang nawala sa katawan ko." Sarkastiko kong sagot. Inirapan niya lang ako bago tumango.
"Maghanap tayo ng paraan para makatakas dito, ayokong makatabi yang lalaki, ang baho baho tapos mabuhok pa yung binti niya yucks.." Maarteng pagrereklamo niya sa akin na kinataas ng kilay ko.
Nakita ko namang lumapit si Gavino sa kanya at yinakap ang baywang niya.
"Talaga lang huh. Sarap na sarap ka ngang ilagay yang kamay mo sa loob ng damit ko para lang mahawakan ang dibdib ko, tapos kinukoskos mo pa yang binti mo sa binti ko kasi nakikiliti ka ng buhok ko tapos yung kili-kili ko nga halos hindi mo tanta---" Natigil sa pagsasalita si Gavino ng takpan ang bibig niya ng palad ni Glenda. Pota ang lalandi din pala. Lalong lalo na itong kaibigan ko, nangangapa pa.
"Masyado ng matabil yang bunganga mo Gavino Archimedes, sarap paduguin." Gigil na gigil na sabi ng kaibigan ko, inabot niya pa ang tenga ni Gavino at piningot.
Napailing nalang ako sa kalandian nila. Iniwan ko nalang sila sa sala at pumasok ako sa kusina para kumuha ng chocolate sa refrigerator. Nang makakuha, bumalik ako sa sala na wala na ang dalawa. Umupo ako sa couch at binuksan ang tv.
Sakto ang palabas dahil intense at thriller. The Bad Sister ang pamagat ng pinapanood at nasa part na ako kung saan nagkakaroon na nang bed scene ang karakter. Napalunok ako ng ilang beses bago nag focus sa movie.
Nagulat ako ng may brasong pumatong sa balikat ko, napairap ako ng lihim bago tumingin sa katabi ko na ngayon ay may ngisi sa labi. Biglang namula ang pisnge ko dahil sa alaalang mapusok pala ang eksena ng pelikulang pinapanood ko.
"Ano ba yan, ang hina ng lalaki kumiyod. Kaya nakukulangan yung babae eh.." Reklamo niya habang kinagatan ang chocolate na kinakain ko.
"Kumuha ka nga ng sayo, marami namang chocolate dun." Inis kong sabi. Tumingin siya sa akin ng nakataas ang kilay.
"Akin rin naman yang kinakain mo huh. Wag kang maramot inaanak ko, hindi kita pinalaki ng ganyan tsk.." Nakangisi lang siya at kinagatan ulit ang chocolate ko.
Bumuntong hininga nalang ako at hinayaan siya sa ginagawa niya. Kung patuloy sasawayin, mas lalong magiging makulit.
After the movie, bumalik ulit ako sa kwarto. Kanina sa panonood, inaantok ako kaya kailangan kong matulog. Sabi ng doctor ko na mas mainam kung matutulog ako ng mabuti para iwas pagod. Baka bumalik ako sa pagiging tulala.
Binagsak ko ang sarili sa kama, ramdam ko agad ang lambot nito na yumakap sa katawan ko. I feel relief and calm. Pero napamulat ako ng mata ng biglang may pumatong sa akin, bumungad agad sa paningin ko si Hermes na titig na titig sa mukha ko.
Kinapos ako ng hangin ng sumilay ang ngiti sa labi. Sa hindi malamang dahilan, bumalik sa alaala ko yung mga panahong pinapangarap kong makita ang ngiti niya.
Noon halos tawagin ko na lahat ng rebulto para lang humingi ng kahilingan na sana isang araw makita kong ngumiti siya. Na sana isang araw kahit hindi siya maging akin basta makita ko lang na masaya siya kontento na ako. At ngayon, nakikita ko ang pinaka magandang lalaki sa paningin ko. Ang lalaking pinakamamahal ko.
You lost me. And I've lost myself loving you...
"Your still my beautiful sunshine Estrecia.." Malambing ang tinig niya. Pumungay din ang mata niya habang nakatitig sa akin.
Napatikom bibig ako at hindi inalintana ang sinasabi niya. Boys still good in words, they are kind when they courting but at end they'll just break your heart into pieces. They will just shattered you. Sa mga taong may lalaking nagpapahiwatig ng nararamdaman nila sa akin hindi ako nakukuha ng mabu-bulaklaking salita.
Tama nga yata na kapag nasaktan ang babae nawawala ang tiwala nila sa mga lalaki. Girls protect themselves from pain that might happen when they entering relationship again. Once they hurt, they're afraid to take risk again.
Kaya sana sa mga kalalakihan, kung may mga relasyon kayong sa tingin niyo ay pang habang buhay, wag na sanang magloko pa. They should stop from being Polygamous.
"I'm done from your flowering words Hermes. I'm done with you." Malamig ang boses ko. He stayed at my top.
Ang mata niya ay mapungay parin at hindi inaalis sa akin ang titig. Para bang pinag-aaralan niya ang ekspresyon ko. Well for those years I've been through, magaling na ako sa pagpapakita ng emosyon. I'm good being cold, being serious, being mysterious.
"I know Estrecia, you've gone too far but it's time for me babe.." Seryoso lang ang boses niya.
"There's no time for you Hermes, tinalikuran mo ako noon kaya dapat hinahayaan mo na ako ngayon. You don't have any rights from me, you should let me doing what I want." Malamig na boses ko. Nakipag sukatan lang siya sa akin ng tingin.
"Wala kang amnesia para makalimutan ang pinirmahan mo nung gabing iyon inaanak ko. Kahit anong gawin mo, hinding hindi mo matatakasan ang apelyido ko. I know you knew it so stop being innocent." Seryoso ang mukha niya.
Galit ko siyang tinitigan bago napapikit ng mariin. No freaking, I'm not going to use his name. Never.
"I don't want to use any of you Hermes. Sa twing nakikita kita, bumabalik lang yung sakit na pinatikim mo sakin. Kaya sana magkaroon ka naman ng hiya sa mukha mo.." My cold tone.
He just looking at me intently.
"No matter what you want, you will stay here with me. You will stay with me forever..." His final said. Humiga siya sa tabi ko at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.
I'll do anything to escape you... I won't let myself to get tied again. I'm done with it long years ago..

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.

The various races inhabiting the World have evolved from modern day humans after the discovery and use of a new source of radiant energy called Anima, stemming from the psyche. Under its influence, races with traits of previously fantastical creatures have emerged, who still resemble the humanity which gave them birth. The only exception being the large, mythological Dragons, which have appeared after the excessive usage of Anima. These Dragons are served by a race of draconic entities, with skin pockmarked by scales, and possess horns growing out of their heads. These entities--or the Kin, as they are called--are considered the most prestigious race through their ties with the Dragons. Urekin is one such Kin, but has regressed back to his human origins, something which previously seemed impossible. Wanting to get away from his old life and his inner demons, he made his way down to the Cleft, where opportunities abound. Release ScheduleEvery second Friday, 12:00 (GMT+1)
