“Ayos ka lang ba bunso?” Napadpad ang tingin ko sa taong nagtanong non. Kasalukuyan nasa labas ako nagpapahangin, gabi na rin hindi ko maiwasang hindi tumambay sa labas at tumanaw ng bituin. Hindi ko akalain ay narito pa si Kuya. Akala ko ay uuwi ito sa bahay nito pero Mukhang nanatili muna ito kina Nanay. Simula nang isumbong nito ang mga hinanakit nito sa akin ay hindi ko maiwasang hindi malungkot sa sisi at lungkot nito. Kilala ko itong malakas, masayahing at mapagmahal. Hindi ko akalain sa pinakamasayang ngiti nito ay may bigat ng pagsisi nito bilang Kuya ko, Kuya namin.

“Huwag kang magpupuyat kakaisip. Hmm?” Anito at ginulo ang buhok ko, napangiwi na lamang ako dahil nagkalat na naman ang buhok ko. Akala ko ay aalis na ito ngunit umupo ito sa tabi ko.

“Palagi niyo 'yan sinasabi sa'kin.” Sabi ko pa, naalala ko kahit nag-aaral palang ako mas madalas itong nagalit kapag natatagpuan ako nitong nagpupuyat at nag-iisip. Kahit hindi na itong gampanan ang pagiging Kuyang malakas kahit bilang Juno na lamang ayos lang sa akin. Nasa likas naman dito na maalalahin at maalaga e.

“Sumasakit ba ulo mo? Palagi kang sabog.” Saad nito at natawa pa, hindi ko naman maiwasang mapanlabi. Naninsulto pa. Mukha ba akong sabog? Siguro, umiiyak kasi ako kapag namimiss ko si Claud. Ano nalang yung motto kong strong independent woman? Ano 'to hmp!

“May iniisip lang.” Imik ko sa Mahabang katahimikan. Ngunit nakatingin lamang ito sa akin parang binabasa ang pagkatao ko. Inosenteng tinignan ko lang ito, pero biglang pumasok sa isip ko iyong pag-ano namin ni Claud.

Kapag ba malaman ni Kuya Juno at Kuya Jerinn na hindi na dalagang Filipina ang Bunso nila ano kayang gagawin nila kay Claud? Hindi ko maiwasan hindi pamulaan ng mukha ang naiisip siyang kinasingkit ng mata nito sa akin. Napaiwas naman ako nang tingin at tumikhim pa iwasan isipin ang live na bold sa isip ko.

Dios ko! Ano ba itong iniisip ko! Ang bastos Jenna!!

“Nilalamig kana ba?” Usisa nito nang makita ang namumula kong pisngi. Agad naman akong umiling at tumingin lang sa kalangitan kung saan may iilang bituin at wala ring buwan.

“Matulog ka nang maaga Jenna, maganda iyon sa ulo.” Anito at saglit pang tumayo bago hinimas ang ibabaw ng ulo ko. Napatingin lamang ako rito siyang hindi ko masyado ang sinabi nito. I was still occupied with my thoughts. I missed him.

Nauna nang pumasok si Kuya habang ako naman ay mga ilang oras ang tinambay ko sa labas bago ko napagpasyahan na bumalik na sa loob at magpahinga na sa sariling silid. I tried contacting him again but no response like he didn't exist at all. Hindi ko maiwasan hindi malungkot habang sumpa sa kama. Walang sariling napatingin sa kesame nang silid ko. Gusto kong umiyak sa lungkot pero ayokong marinig ako nila. Ayokong mag-abala ang mga tao sa bahay. They don't know who's Claud, just a brother of Ate Klareen not as my love my life.  Nakakapagod pala, kung ito lang pala ang mapapala ko edi sana hindi na ako nagtry pa. Pero salamat parin na nagtry ako kasi atleast diba I was able to feel how good to be in his arms. Fuck, I miss the warmth, his kisses and his clinginess.

I miss him.

I closed my eyes tightly as my head slightly ached. Looked at the clock it was 3:08 am. Siguro ay hindi na nito kaya mag-isip pa. I sighed and closed my eyes and tried to sleep but miserably failed. I couldn't sleep, like my body needs his. Like my body like his warmth.

This is excruciating, missing him like this.

I can't do anything. Gusto kong bumalik sa ibang bansa pero anong sasabihin ko kina Nanay? I missed them too. I missed him too. Fuck, I need to sleep. Atleast sleeping let's me rest, and think nothing. Kahit ilang tihaya ang gawin ko kahit kaya tumbling ako sa kama ko ay hindi parin ako makatulog. Gising na gising ang diwa. Fuck this.

Tangina mo Claud.

Shit ka. Sasakalin kita kapag magpakita ka pa ulit!

THIRD PERSON OMNISCIENT

“Where the fuck is she?!” The King shouted as he huffed in anger. His eyes were unreadable, dark and menacing. If looks can kill the poor butler would died in just a glare. The king keeps requesting a certain harlot. The doesn't know who dared to bewitched the king and turned him into this madness.

The crowned princess stepped up and dared to fuel his brother anger. All of the council gulped as the atmosphere dropped but still stayed the room. They cannot afford to displease the tyrant king. He is known ruthless to whom deserving and almost all of them are deserving to his wrath.

The King disappeared 3 weeks ago. According to the sources the enemy almost killed the King and luckily the King returned alive and kicking their asses now. But the King returned confused and keep creating chaos in the palace. Even the grand king cannot control the madness of the king.

“You cannot act like this here, your highness. Please mind yourself, my lord.” The crowned princess Klareen dared to hold his brother which the king just glared the woman and looked at the council like the council has the audacity to betray the highness.

“I am certain one of you know where is my wife.”

Wife? Same thoughts filled the head of every council members as the King said those. They didn't know the King was married. Looking at the fingers of majesty it do have a elegant ring like he is indeed married. But his Majesty cannot marry someone who hasn't imperial background.

That's the law. They need power to strengthen the houses and the palace. They cannot make this mistakes twice. The cold princess Klareen was a once mistake. Marrying for love and a commoner was her disgrace to he circle. And now, they cannot allow the tyrant king to be wed with someone with no power.

Count Quintin the House of Romanov, dared to smiled tot he king as the King smiled back as if he was please with that small response to the dangerous count. The Count has it's dirty life, a dangerous man who's family runs a underground mafia that been existing since then like the house of Ironov.

“I see, mind sharing your thoughts Count of Romanov.” The King said which made the poor people in the room flinched in fear as they lay their heads low. They cannot disrespect the king, they cannot look to his eyes. His eyes has the beautiful shades of blue but yet so cold and menacing.

“No need for my answer my king, I believe your dear sister knew where is your woman.” The Count dared to answered making them shivered to every seconds that passes. If someone dared to passed out then they all be killed. They cannot bare this humiliation. They need to end this shitty nonsense harlot search and rescue.

The Count smirked at Princess Klareen which whom sipping her tea and looked at his brother like she had done nothing. Claud looked at his sister displeased. He had asked her about Jenna's disappearance but none of it was answered. None of his subjects was following up to search up Jenna. No results like someone was blocking them.

Should he go to the Philippines? He cannot bare to spend a day without his lifeline. He begged for her to let him stay yet he's the one who didn't kept his chance. His woman gave him a chance yet he didn't manage it to grasp the goddamn chance. He's a fool.

“I see, looking to your face and the princess. I knew where exactly where is my wife is.” I said with a smirked making Klareen stood up with a fire glare making me looked at her blankly. I cannot believe my own sister opposes to me.

She cannot do this. She knew I need Jenna so bad. She knew I breath for Jenna. She fucking knew.

“You won't dare to ask her to come here, back to you. End this.” My sister said angrily making me look at her with same ferocity. I stood up and smiled devilishly.

“I will not be that modest my dear sister. Kidnapping her will be enough, do you agree Quintin.” I said with a devil's smirk making my dear friend Quintin chuckled making the people in the room gasps in disbelief.

Evil! All of them are evil!

Everyone's thoughts screamed.
