Sibyl Franchette
In fairytales there will always be a wicked one, whether it's your mum, an ugly witch or a jealous Queen. Lahat ng kwento may bida at kontrabida, the Protaganist will always be a pretty, innocent and nice. While on the other hand an Antagonist will be a bitch, a fighter and merciless.
Why do they always want a damsel in distress to shine the brightest?
In my story i am the Antagonist, hindi ako inosente hindi rin ako mabait. I'm devil, I am a Merciless Killer. I used to hide all my emotions and bury them all.
But seeing my husband crawling with blood on his face, at halos wala nang lakas kahit umopo man lang. I feared i might lose him, he is not perfect, he has a lot of flaws. But he never stop, he never stop finding me.
"Riley" hinaplos ko ang pisngi nya, the bruises are still there. Akala ko ay hindi ko na mararamdaman ang takot na mawalan.
He is now sleeping in peace. Alam kung sa oras na imulat nya ang kaniyang mga mata, maraming katanungan sa kaniyang isip. And it's time for him to know the truth.
I hold his hands, its almost 8 hours since he lost his consciousness. He is safe now, hindi naman masyadong napuruhan ni Rai ang mga vital organs nya.
I felt something ticklish on my hand na may hawak sa kanya, at unti unti humihigpit ang pagkakahawak nya dito.
"Baby" the husky voice i always heard every morning whenever i see him on our kitchen.
"Hi" i still don't know kung saan ako unang mag uumpisa. I was about to say something when his hand is trying to reach my face.
"Are you okay? Hindi ka ba nasaktan? I'm sorry if it takes five days to find you. I'm sorry kung hindi man lang kita napag tanggol, i'm very sorry By" his voice broke down, tears are flowing in his face.
Why is he crying? Why does he blaming himself? Why is he saying sorry?
"No Riley, it's not your fault. The Emperio knows that you are my husband, gumagawa sila ng paraan para patunayan kung karapatdapat ka bang maging asawa ko"
The old Head of Emperio Gappy and Granpa Raizo planned all this. Tumulong naman sila papa at mga uncles ko, wala akong nagawa non. Hindi sila sumusunod sa akin in terms sa mga asawa na hindi kasali saamin.
"You are Una, aren't you? The Una of Emperio" i slightly nod my head.
"I'm very sorry kung sa ganitong sitwasyon mo pa talaga nalaman. I was trying to tell you at the right time. Pero nung pumunta ka nang Empire, Granpa Raizo is there. Walang alam ang Emperio tungol sayo" i paused for awhile, i saw his reaction tila ina absorb nya pa ang kaniyang nalaman.
"So....you mean to say that....I-I mean, you are part of the worlds biggest m-mafia organization?" Fear are all over his face, i cannot blame him. I drag him down to this mess ni kahit kaunti wala syang kaalam alam.
"Yes Riley, and hear me out. Let me finish what i am about to tell you" tumango naman ito, he looked me directly in the eyes. Huminga naman ako ng malalim bago ako nag simula.
"We call our selves the Emperio, it has its 7 heads kung saan ito ang bumubuo sa amin. Yes, we are syndicates we smuggled illegal items. We are focusing on creating and making high powered guns. The Emperio does not stays in one place, nag kalat kami sa buong mundo. We are marking our own territory, pero hindi kami sumasali sa mafia wars. Kami ang pinakamatagal na organisasyon sa mundo, we stay that way dahil narin sa pagiging tahimik namin"
"So that means ikaw ang pinaka pinuno nila?"
"Yes and no, nabubuhay parin ang dating mga ulo. They serve as advisors mas maraming takot sa kanila"
