CHAPTER 37

THE BADDEST DELINQUENTS

“MURDERER”

WRITTEN BY: VASILISA ROSEMARIE SABINA

Anong oras na pero wala pa siya. Lagpas midnight na pero wala pa siya. He promised na maaga siyang uuwi pagkatapos ng laban niya. Pero bakit hanggang ngayon wala pa siya.

I called Stasya. I heard she’s here for some business reason.

“Stasya, can you help me?”

“What it is, Sashenka? It’s already 4 in the morning.”

“Can you go to Underground?” I asked.

“Underground where?”

“To whatever illegal deadly boxing thing. Can you check Sasha if he’s still there? He said he’ll go home early.”

“I’m on my way,” she said seriously and hung up.

I’m not being paranoid. I mean, it’s hard to . . . you know. What if kung anong ng nangyari sa kanya? What if napatay na pala siya ng kalaban? What if may ibang babae na naman siyang kasama . . . I trust him but it’s hard na hindi ka mag isip ng gano’n. Lahat naman siguro ng may asawang dis-oras na ng gabi umuwi, nag aalala ‘yung may bahay sa kanya lalo kung babaero ‘yung asawa niya.

Hindi ko na naman mapigilang hindi maiyak sa naiisip ko. Alam ko pangalawang pag bubuntis ko na ‘to pero naiinis pa rin ako kapag nagiging sobrang emotional at sensitive ko na nang dahil sa infanticipation. Nagiging mababaw ‘yung mga luha ko at agad akong nasasaktan, nag aalala at napa-paranoid.

After a few minutes Stasya started calling so I immediately pick it up.

“He’s still here. In the Underground, I mean. He’s with a girl. She looks like his ex-girlfriend. Oh! Avril Suarez. She’s wiping Sasha’s sweat and cheering for him. I think he’s winning.” I think someone just pinched my heart.

“How did you know that’s his ex-girlfriend?” I asked. Did she mean Avril, A’s sister or what?

“I know Sasha’s background. Come on, I know you still don’t know that I don’t like him for you after what I found out.”

“What did you find out?”

“He hit on Claryne while you two are both engaged. That scene wasn’t—“ I know hindi kasama sa pag pretend nila ‘yun, hindi pa rin ‘yun natuloy.

“It’s okay. Enough.” I cut in and put the phone down.

Still, Stasya didn’t say he was cheating on me (again) with that Avril. She said he’s only with her, there’s nothing wrong with that. I trust him, maybe.

I just drifted off to sleep para hindi na ‘ko maiyak na naman dahil sa isang maliit na bagay lang. But, is it? Maliit na bagay lang ba talaga ‘yun? No, he promised. He promised that he won’t do that again. He won’t hurt me.

I unlocked Alexander’s grip from my body and ran towards the bathroom because of my morning sickness. Hindi ko alam kung anong oras na siya nakabalik pero wala na ‘kong pake do’n basta nandito na siya. Buhay at humihinga pa sa tabi ko.
