In Her Silence

MORBID

I just found myself thrown at the floor when I saw that it is April who is in the literature room the whole time.

Actually, I wasn't shock by her presence but by her eyes na parang kakainin ako ng buhay nang dumilat ito at titigan ako ng matindi, I sensed a fear flowed to my body dahil sa mga mata nya, ibang iba nung una ko sya Makita na mala brownish-grey na mata ang meron sya.

Nang makatayo na ko and try to look at her iba na amg aura ng mata nya, hindi na kagaya kanina.

"what are you doing here April? Sinusundan mo ba ko?" naiiritang tanong ko sakanya

"Im already here before you do" tipid na sagot nya at bago pa ko makabanat pa ng sasabihin she just walk away from the sofa and hit the doorknob and she just left the room.

Para akong nabati na ewan na nakatingin lang ako sakanya habang papalabas sya ng room at wala man lang ako nasabi, I found myself standing in the middle of the room and ask myself what just happen...I don't know the feeling pero it really chills me out every time na maalala ko ang matang yon.

Nang makabalik ako sa kanormalan ko, I pick up the book that was covering her face earlier, shes reading a Russian history book, history na may pagka classic, out of curiosity yun na lang ang binasa ko.

In the year 1637, before the famous Romanov dynasty ruled the Russian empire there is a Novgorod and Ladoga dynasty who were called as Vikings in their time, this dynasty was ruled by Nerin Novgorod and Artin Ladoga, Nerin and Artin was a good friend and fight all the battles together until they decide to have their own family and just focus on ruling an empire.

Nerin becomes a father of two girls and Artin becomes a father of one girl and one boy.

Seraya and Nammy Novgorod were set to be the upcoming rulers of their empire, Seraya who is the eldest was destined to marry Alfin Ladoga after their 16th birthday while Nammy will remain as brain and right hand of her sister.

The two ladies were not as good as they look at, Seraya whos known to be hard-hearted and greedy, and Nammy who known to be an evil witch who practices evil curses and causing all their enemies to die without a reason.

On the other hand, Alfin and Afriya were known to be kind and precious to their people, they loved roaming around the town just to meet all the commoner people and befriend them.

The two empires was always has a good relationship until Seraya ruined the friendship that her father built with the Ladoga empire.

She killed Artin after their marriage to get the throned Ladoga Empire solely in her hands by the use of Nammy evil curses.

The news came to Afriya who was on vacation when the incident happens and she barely knows who the people behind her brother's death.

Afriya's father and mother died because of unknown sickness and for that reason, she knows that it is all Nammy Novgorod doings.

Build with anger and vengeance, Afriya seeks for revenge for what happened to her entire family, she manages to get along by the rules of the sisters and play safe as she makes them believe that she was on their side.

Afriya found out that Nammy has a big secret within her personality; she was madly in love with her sister Seraya the new Queen of Novgorod Empire and Ladoga Empire.

She takes that secret as a chance to get Nammys trust and heart, she planned to make her fall for her madly and deeply.

Afriya gets what she wants, Nammy easily forgets her feelings for her sister and falls deeply for Afriya, they dated secretly, kiss secretly, and share steamy nights secretly.

Afriya finally owns Nammys trust and she was invited to visits Nammys secret chamber.

Nammy teaches Afriya all her evil curses and tricks, it was all because of the dark book that happens to be stolen at the hands of the priests of their empire, all along they don't know that the culprit was Nammy.

Afriya takes the chance that Nammy is teaching her those curses, she also let her know that by the simple curse they can be immortal and strong but Nammy is not that good enough to learn that curse as it is much confusing than the usual curses.

This so-called relationship that Nammy and Afriya have, was found out by Seraya, and she's not happy with it, she came up with a plan to catch the two in action.

Afriya is all aware of Serayas findings of them and Afriya is already prepared for it.

At the exact moment of Seraya's plan, she caught in action that Nammy and Afriya are in one bed all Barenaked.

Seraya asked her sister, if she chooses Afriya then she will be beheaded but if she chooses to be loyal to Seraya then she lives.

Knowing Nammy as selfish and narcissistic, she easily decides to be loyal to Seraya, as usual, same as her sister being traitor and evil is in their bloodline.

Afriya already expected it to happen that's why while the sisters are conversating, Afriya is already casting out a curse of death to the two sisters in a monotone way, so in a few minutes suddenly Nammy felt a shortness of breath like she was being choked and she has her last breath in front of her sister Serayas feet.

At that moment, Seraya knew that it was all Afriyas fault, she realized that all this happens was planned by Afriya but it was all too late to fight back when her last breath takes into place.

Afriya was left standing and crying as she was happy that her revenge is successful.

End..

Wow...that's all I can say..grabeng dilim naman ng story na yun, totoo ba yun? Or part ba talaga ng history? Sobrang na hook ako sa pag babasa eh hindi ko namalayang mag 5pm na pala, nang basahin ko ang title, "Russian history at the Dark time, (untold story)" akalain mong nag hilig pala nung manikin na yun sa mga ganitong ka morbid na story.

Nag madali na din akong umuwe at ofcourse commnute na ako kasi yung manikin na yun alam nya naman that I am here sa lit room tapos di man lang ako pinasundo dito.

While on the road, naghanap na lang ako ng short cut para naman mas madali akong makarating sa sakayan ng bus pa Makati until I saw a group of people behind walls na para bang nag sisigawan sa isang madilim na street.

I try to look at it, mga lalaking naka itim na parang mag sindikato and nag tatakbuhan na humihingi ng tulong, medyo madilim kaya hindi ko Makita kung ano bang nangyayare until I saw someone who just stabbed the guy at the back by a samurai or mahabang knife ata then stabbed again the other guy, then next to the other guy, it's like the person is killing everyone around.

Nanginginig ang tuhod kong nag start mag lakad palayo, and fortunately, I hear a loud siren from afar, good thing police is coming na, then I try to look back to see if naririnig na nilang may police nang papadating but what I saw is a man holding a samurai na tumalon ng mataas and suddenly gone, he is wearing a mask or something, ghaadd! Kakabasa ko lang ng morbid story and here I am witnessed a morbid scene.

Mga ilang sandal pa lang ay andun na ang mga police and I try na lumapit at maki tsismis ng very light, and I saw those cutted limbs, and slashed body ng mga lalaki, it was so horrible and halos maduwal ako sa mga kalagayan nila.

Hindi naman ako madidiriin na tao but seeing that kind of event gives me chills!

Ilang minute pa at nasa tapat na ko ng mansion, when I enter the living room medyo tahimik and parang walang tao eh mag aalas otso pa lang naman ng gabi, ni hindi pa nga ako nag hahapunan, then my fone has message nga plan a hindi ko pa nabubuksan and it was mama telling me na my important meeting sila ni papa.

And all the maids are sleeping na din ata or nsa quarters nila, then I head myself sa room ko and dali dali nang nag hubad and walk to the washroom at laking gulat ko nang Makita ko si April na naka handusay sa washroom ko na halos wala nang buhay at puno ng dugo ang damit.

Agad akong sumigaw at buti na lang at narinig nilang lahat and april was hurriedly brought to the hospital and was checked up by her doctor.

Ilang oras din ay dumating na sila mama at papa and the doctor said na baka nag vomit ng blood si April kasi wala namang sugat or anything sa katawan nya all blood lang sa damit so they suspected na she vomited blood.

After several tests to confirm na safe si April, she is now ready to go home para mas makapag rest sa bahay, while nag aayos sila mama ng gamit ni April para makauwe na, lumapit ako sa gilid ng higaan ni April and hold her right hand, oo we are not close pero I admit kinabahan ako knina sa hitsura ni April, naaawa ako sakanya, she was supposed to be taking care of her family pero wala ni isang dumating kahit we call her sisters and father and their relatives kanina, I am looking at her pale face, her lips is white na parang hindi na nadadaluyan ng dugo, she is pretty and look peaceful habang natutulog, then out of my senses I found myself kissing her forehead and whispering "pagaling ka, we can still be friends"..

After sitting beside April, I was about to go sana para mag washroom then April's grip on my hand becomes strong like she doesn't want me to let go of her hand, then I saw her opening her eyes and just stared at me and smile then suddenly close her eyes then the grip start to loosen up.

I don't know pero seeing her beautiful smile, para akong na engkanto na barang na ewan..she was really different, her aura when she smiles is really different but it makes me feel a warmth inside.

"who is this person within?..." the only question that came out of my mind..

*******

"Halos kalunos lunos na pang yayari ang sinapit ng mga tauhan ng isang malaking grupo ng drug dealer sa isang bakanteng lote sa Makati, halos hiwa hiwa ang katawan at ilang pugot na ulo ang nagkalat sa pinangyarihan, hindi naman makausap ng matino ang ibang nakasurvive sa pangyayare, nag iisang sinasabi lang nila ay isang nakakatakot na tao ang may kagagawan nito na nagtataglay ng pulang mata...mula dito sa Makati ako si Bernard teofilo nag uulat"
