The Immortal Chronicles

Prologue

Riana

Our family is damn rich. Kuya Edward is on his fourth year in college. In this life, I felt so blessed. The fact that my parents is easy going and happy to be with. Wala ng mas sasaya pa. I have never felt this satisfaction even way before in my past lives.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror in my bathroom. A regular pink heart shaped lips, pointed nose and a dark brown eyes staring back at me. I touch the tip of my straight black hair and smiled

"Gosh! why so pretty riana?" I ask myself like an Idiot. Nagpacute pacute pa ako sa salamin and wink at myself.

I sigh a deep breath as scenes hundred years ago flashed in my mind. My life was a given by god so I have to cherish it.

Si Rica at richard ay napakabuti nila. Hindi sila nagkulang para saamin ni edward. Your typical parents to be exact and I love them very.

I took off my clothes at pumantay sa shower para maligo, I stared at the mirror looking at my body. A tattoo is located down at my right breast written in 4. Medyo hindi pa sya klaro but I know very well what is this. Hindi ko alam bat nagkaroon ako nito, wala naman ito dati aside from-- . I reach for the soap and started applying it in my body then the shampoo.

I reach for my towel na nakasabit lang malapit sa pinto ng bathroom ko. I cover my naked body with it and headed to my bedroom kung saan naroon na ang niready kong susuotin ngayung araw. I blow dry my hair after wearing my clothes. Simpleng damit lang naman, black jeans at medyo fit na gray sando. Papatungan ko na lang ito ng blazer later.

"Ria, hali na't baba kana para maka pag almusal anak" my mom shouted. Ang laki talaga ng bunganga noon dinig hanggang dito. I reach for my bag and headed for the door knob para makababa na, nasa second floor kasi ang kwarto ko and I was ready to go, then I remember my precious thing. Napatampal ako sa aking noo and came back to my drawer and hold it na tuwang tuwa.

"Ang headset ko! Sorry baby ko" hinalik halikan ko ang maliit na bagay sa kamay kong may design na hello kitty. Pinagawa ko talaga yun. Shit lang kung may makakaalam sa totoo kung edad. I mean not the twenty years old but the thousands one, I even forgot my age. "Promise baby ko hindi kita iiwan" nilagay ko ito sa bag ko para magamit sakali.

"Para kang tanga ri, baba kana daw kakain na tayo" sabi ni kuya edward na nasa may pinto pala, hindi ko manlang sya napansin. Nakita paman din nya siguro yung pag halik halik ko sa headset ko, kakahiya paman din. "now your being shy riana"

"Im not kuya, tsaka pwude ba, kumatok ka muna bago pumasok dito?"

Ngumisi ito ng nakakairita "Halata nga sa mukha mo kanina, nangamatis kasi yang mukha mo, tsaka I've been knocking the door. Sadyang bingi ka talaga"

"How did you get in?" I ask

"Well the door is not locked, so I entered and saw you kissing your hello kitty thing, seriously?" He said tsaka ngumisi sya, and he look amused too. "Why dont you find a boyfriend ria? Someone you can kiss real, not something you kiss like a maniac" he said grinning widely. "I can barely imagine hmm" sabi nitong tunog nanunudyo.

"Ew ka talaga kuya, kiss kiss ka jan. You mean like your bitches when you kiss like shit? French kiss is it? Like duh!"maarte kung tugon dito. I even roll my eyes, Of course I have to act innocent, I know what kiss is as well as sex, I've been married before hundred of thousands ago. Napaasim naman ang mukha ko sa alaalang yun. And kuya saw my reaction and maybe his thinking other reason behind it.

"Do you hear that?" Kuya became silent and yes I did hear it "someone is shouting - and very furious too" he smirk

"right! Baba na tayo, mom is angry" I say

.........

Nag bebreakfast kami ngayon habang nakikinig sa radio. Its dad thing, given the fact that we are in business world dad saw it as a responsibility to be updated sa lahat. Lahat naman siguro ng tatay.

"Riana" dad called. It was very hard and manly, still there was tender when he called me.

"Yes dad?" I said after drinking juice. Im done eating

"How's your study?"

"Its fine po. Next year pa naman ako gagraduate" inilapag ko sa table yung hawak kong baso ng juice "why dont you ask kuya dad? Ako na lang lagi tinatanong nyo. Tsaka ang galing ko kaya sa school, pinapakopya kopa nga yung ibang classmates ko kasi ang bobobo nila eh"

"hahaha" they all laugh. "Ikaw talaga" mama said sweetly na katabi ko, she even put some of my hair behind my right ear na halos nakaharang na sa kalahati kong mukha, as well as my hair in my shoulder to my back.

"We dont have a problem about your brothers study, he's a genius, and he's leading the top sa batch nila" sabi ni papa "and Im not asking about sa mga kaklase mong nangungopya sayo" dugtong nito. Sumimangot naman ako. "Ed, turn on the tv" biglang seryosong saad ni papa. Maybe he heard something na binabalita sa radio and everyone prefers TV naman talaga

"Why dad?"

"There's an announcement about the emperor of the kings" nangunot naman ang noo ni kuya pero in on naman kalaunan ang flatscreen naming pagkalakilaki. Ako naman na halos hindi na makahinga sa sinabi ni papa ay muntik ko ng masanggi ang baso sa table, muntik ng mahulog at baka mabasag pa.

Ang mukha nya ang unang nakita sa tv. Announcing his visit in hongkong together with other people na royalty din sa ibang bansa, must be kings. Seryosong seryoso ang mukha nito at walang bahid ni katiting na emosyon. Purong blanko lamang. Same old handsome babe. So hot! Kahit na mukhang papatay ito ka seryosohan, maybe the flashes and camera is bothering him. And I know deep inside he's really irritated.

"kay gwapong bata naman" mama said dreamily

"Mom, hes immortal, he is way older than you can count, he lives who knows how many years. Wag kang papadala sa itsura nyan. Malay mo masamang tao yan." saway ko dito

"Ikaw naman anak. Sinasabi ko lang naman. The emperor does not have a wife, single ka pa naman anak diba?" Tanong ng mama ko

"Why did you ask? And yes Im single, dont tell me your planning on pairing me with the emperor this time. Quit it ma, tigilan mo na nga yang mga pantasya mo, its way too impossible anyway"

Ngumisi lang si mama "To naman, malay mo kung may pagkakataon the emperor might see you fit. Tadhana anak tadhana. Virgin ka pa ba?" Tanong pa nito. As if dad and kuya is not around, I mean lalaki sila and mom should know that this topic should be between us. Nakakahiya and I bet pulang pula na ang pisngi ko. Fucking shit!

Kuya laugh out loud hearing about it while dad murmured something at umiling pa, theres a little smile on his lips and then sigh after a while. Ako naman na halos nanlaki ang mata ay hindi nakapagsalita, idagdag pa ang pisngi kong kasing pula ng ewan, hindi maproseso ng utak ko ang narinig. The emperor might see me fit. Shit lang! Im going to be a living bitch if that ever happen.

Napangiwi naman ako dito. Well, we will never see each other and mom is being ambitious, there is no other way that we would be near him. Like duh! He is the fucking emperor, the world is his and he is the king of kings and queens. We on the other hand are just normal people, other immortals even consider human na parang basura. Kung hindi lang sa pagpursige ni dad sa industry when it comes to money. Then we are nothing.

Kuya still laughing manage to mutter "What the hell Ma!"

"Hon, stop it will you, if there would be a chance na maiinvolve ang emperor sa isang tao, in a different way that would be 0.1%, we were lucky enough to not be treated like trash because of our wealth, plus the fact that the emperor choose a new king here in philippine is half human. The immortals war are complicated. Why would the emperor be in hongkong anyway. Well, it does not matter you two should go now baka malate pa kayo" dad said. He is very serious

"Right" I said while kuya just nodded. Nasilayan ko naman ang pag nguso ni mama kay dad. Marahil sa sinabi nito ay nahiya sya rito. Hmmmp! Kay tanda na nga ni mama pa cute pa. I chuckled and pumunta na kame sa dapat puntahan.
