JASPER

Not all complete families are the happy ones. Same goes with wealthy families. I can prove that because I was just a kid when I witnessed one.

I was just a kid when I saw my mom cheating on my dad. Nag-uuwi siya ng lalaki sa bahay and I even witnessed how she kissed that man in front of my father.

Pero mabait si Dad to the point na siya pa ang nakiusap kay Mom. He asked her to stay for me and Uno's sake. Kahit hindi na raw para sa kaniya and I can say that he really loves us, his sons.

But Mom chose her man than staying with us. Tumatak iyon sa isip ko. Gusto kong gumanti. If Dad can't do it, then I'll do it. Ako ang gaganti para sa kaniya. I wanted every woman to feel how it feels to be cheated on.

From that day, Dad raised us all by himself. I can say that Uno and I are lucky to have him kahit mga pasaway kami.

Nagbinata ako and that's when I starting playing with girls habang ang kakambal ko naman ay basagulero.

It was easy to play with girls because I have the looks, the wealth, the brain, ano pa ang hihilingin nila?

I enjoyed being a womanizer and forgot why I'm doing that. Nakalimutan ko ang rason at nasanay ako sa attention ng mga babae.

But I stopped during my college years. I stopped because I saw this girl, she's simple yet so beautiful.

May mga babaeng nagalit but who cares? That woman caught my attention and no one can stop me.

I found out that she was a friend of my blockmate, Razen Andrade. The moment I laid my eyes on her, I can't stop watching her from afar.

"Kanina ka pa nakatunganga diyan, bud."

Napalingon ako kay Archie nang makitang papalapit siya. Nandito kasi ako sa balcony ng building namin sa school. Nasa second floor ako pero ang mga mata ko ay nakatutok sa babaeng nasa quadrangle.

"You've been staring at that woman for a week now. Walang palya ang pagtambay mo rito," anas niya habang nakatingin na rin sa babae, "I know her name, bud. Nalaman ko kay Andrade."

Napalingon ako dahil sa sinabi niya, "What? Tell me what's her name?"

Natawa siya sa pagkaatat kong malaman ang pangalan ng babae, "Her name is Patrizia Caryl Fernandez, happy?"

From that day ay madalas ko na siyang sundan at hindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng selos kay Razen Andrade. I know that this isn't something na madali kong makakalimutan.

I know. I know that I love her already.

UNTIL ONE DAY.

I'm the CEO of the company. Sa akin ipinagkatiwala ni Dad ang kompanya dahil lulubog-lilitaw ang kakambal ko.

But I had an encounter with Uno's enemies. Pinag-iinitan ako. Na-coma pa nga ako for a year because of that. Kaya isang taon akong nawala sa company, isang taon din na hindi ko nakita si Zia.

From that moment, I decided to join the organization kung saan nakita ko ang siraulo kong kakambal. And because of that, natakot na akong sundan-sundan si Zia, o kahit magpakilala man lang.

Ni hindi niya rin nalaman na may lalaking nagmamahal sa kaniya mula sa malayo. Loving her from afar is much better than staying close to her but she will be in danger.

Her life will be in danger kung manghihimasok ako sa buhay niya, not because of the organization or death threats. Alam ko ring pag-iinitan siya ng mga naging babae ko and who knows what they can do.

I can't risk the life of the woman I love.

SHOCKED.

Ipinatawag ako ni Dad and I was shocked to see her after how many years. Mas gumanda siya but I have to refrain myself from doing something na ikakapahamak niya.
