THE BADDEST DELINQUENTS

“UNCROSSED”

WRITTEN BY: VASILISA ROSEMARIE SABINA

They said happy endings are endings that haven’t ended yet. I guess mine just ended fast. Fortunately, it did end well but not so well.

“Maybe, Alexander’s just your first love and Four is your true love. Come to think of it, you and Alexander were like starcrossed lovers then kayo din ni Four ang nagkatuluyan sa huli but kung hindi dahil sa katangahan ni Alexander, hindi mo makikilala si Four. Well, nangyari din ‘yung predictions namin ni Stasya and Yevalynna. You’re lucky, you passed the Ivashkov Rule 1777 before you and Four got married.” Napa irap ako sa kawalan dahil sa mga pinagsasabi niya hanggang ngayon ‘yun pa rin ‘yung iisip niya.

It’s been five years since Alexander died. A and I just married last three years at nung umuwi na rin kami dito sa Pinas. Ayos naman ‘yun sa mga anak ko. Alangan namang magmukmuk dahil sa namatayan ako ng dating asawa, gaya ng sabi ni Alexander. Nandito pa si A and he’s right. I got A. A that never left me and just love me every day and every night. A helped me moved on and I really thank him for that, if it weren’t for him, perhaps I’m still miserable. We also got a baby girl. She’s now two years old. I know we’re too old to have her but still.

And I think may lahi talaga kaming fortune-teller. But may prediction na bumaluktot. Yevalynna said 20 years ago, one of my children will die kung papakasalan ko si A. Well, that didn’t happen or she’s just scaring me para pakasalan ko si Alexander kasi I might die kung hindi ko pinakasalan si Alexander dahil sa Ivashkov Rule 1777. Stupid Ivashkov Rule 1777.

“Here’s your plane ticket and go fly to Moscow. Find a guy and get marry already, Claryne. You’re being hopeless romantic,” sabi ko na lang sa kanya sabay bigay ng plane ticket niya papuntang Russia.

Sikat na naman siya dahil sa pagiging fashion designer niya but I don’t know kung bakit wala pang siyang boyfriend o asawa, hindi pa ata siya nakaka-move on kay Pocholo. Too bad, Pocholo’s already married with Alexia. Balita ko meron na rin silang anak, matapos itakwil ni Alexia ‘yung anak niya kay Alexei. Pocholo just used and made Claryne a past time dati. At hindi ko na masisisi si Pocholo do’n dahil may pagkautu-uto talagang side si Claryne like ‘yung mga pinapagawa ni Alexander sa kanya dati, sunod lang siya ng sunod.

“Don’t forget, Alexandra. Limochin is still alive. Please be careful,” sabi niya sabay alis na sa bahay.

Hindi ko na rin masyadong iniisip ‘yung about kay Limochin. I don’t think may mangyayari pa but who knows since siya pa rin ang leader ng gang nila. Kung papatayin man niya ‘ko. I really don’t care anymore. Like I said before, if it’s my time to die, then I die. No more hiding and no more running.

Pagkaalis naman ni Claryne do’n naman sunod na dumating si A.

“Hey . . .” bati ko sa kanya pero bigla niya lang akong niyakap at hinalikan sa labi.

“A. Wait, napaaga ka ata,” sabi ko pa pero nginisian niya lang ako ‘saka niluwagan ‘yung necktie niya at umupo sa sofa.
