Chapter 31

Loki's world collapse while looking at Asia's graveyard, if this is just a dream he wants to wake up and came back to reality. Para siyang baliw na ilang ulit na umiling at sinabunutan ang sariling buhok, then he crawl towards the grave and touch the land where Asia was buried six ft underground.

"No, I-Im just dreaming. I know I'm just dreaming, come on wife wake me up I-I need you... H-hindi ko pa nasasabi lahat ng gusto kong sabihin, I-I didn't get my chance to say how sorry I am for treating you badly. Please Asia don't do this to me..."

"The dead won't talk back Loki, tumayo kana dyan at bumalik kana ng pilipinas. Asia is gone, she's long gone and she would never come back."

Agad na napalingon si Loki ng marinig ang pamilyar na tinig na iyon, that voice that he was searching for a long years.

"Luhence..."

Dahan dahan siyang tumayo at hinarap ang kapatid, Luhence has this cold look in his eyes while looking at him different to the Luhence he knew.

"Long time no see,"

Loki gulped and walk towards his brother, hindi na niya napigilan ang sarili na yakapin ito sa tuwa na makitang ligtas at maayos ang buhay ni Luhence. But why is he here?

"You are hugging me huh," mapang uyam na wika nito. "I thought you'll never want me, what happened to you?"

"I'm sorry..."

Malakas na tinulak ni Luhence si Loki palayo dahilan upang tumumba ito sa sahig. He then grab his collar in rage while looking at his brother.

"How dare you come here after everything?!"

Hindi siya kumibo hinayaan niya ang kapatid na sapakin siya, every punch Luhence give is painful but he can't feel any pain at all.

"You killed her! Ikaw ang pumatay sa kanya you brought this to her!"

Tinanggap niya lahat ng suntok na binigay ni Luhence sa kanya till he can't take it any longer and felt losing his consciousness. Nang imulat niya ang mga mata ay ang huli niyang nakita ang bata na nakadungaw sa terrace at naaawang nakatingin sa kanya.

Loki woke up and found himself inside a huge room with just a bed on the middle gusto niya sanang maupo ngunit ramdam niya ang pag kahilo, agad siyang napahawak sa pumipintig na sintido. He remembered getting beaten up by his own brother and he deserves it.

"You are awake."

Loki knew who that is but he remain silent then her remembered something heartbreaking, hindi na niya namalayan ang pag tulo ng kuha habang nakatingin sa mataas na kisame. Asia is gone, she will never come back at siya ang dahilan ng pag kamatay nito.

"I'll held you here for a week, after your recovery I'll let you leave and don't come back." Wika ni Agustos bago tumayo at lalabas na sana ng mag salita si Loki.

"Why are you doing this?"

Agustos sighed, he face Loki again and walk towards his bed.

"I'm not doing any of this for you, I'm just doing my friend a favor on saving his son's life and protect him with all I have just like how he protected my daughter and her mother when he was still alive."

"My father?"

Agustos nodded and look away, Roberto is a very good friend of him. Nakilala niya ito ng umuwi siya galing pilipinas upang bisitahin ang kanyang mag ina but then something happened the organization wants him dead if he will pursue going to his family they will be endangered. That's when Robert stepped up saying that he will protect his family.

"Being part of a Mafia is difficult, you don't get to have a normal life. You don't get to be with your family because you'll just endangered them. Thank you father, he save your life once more."

"I'm sorry, I-I didn't know..." Mahina niyang bulong. He wants to kneel over and over again till Agustos forgive him ngunit kahit mamatay yata siya sa harap nito ay hindi siya mapapatawad.

"It's not what you did to me that angers me the most Loki, it's what you did to my daughter. Asia, my poor Asia could have a better life if she didn't meet you."

Hindi na umimik si Loki, it was all his fault. Kung sisihin man siya ng buong mundo ay taranggapin niya, the world can hate him. He can give everything, his wealth and fame just to have Asia back.

"I want to hurt you so bad, but my daughter wouldn't want it. She loves you, We didn't get the chance to know each other. I get to talk to her once, she has this lonely eyes but when she's talking about you her eyes will glow in happiness. My Mi figlia could have been happy If I'm not that weak."

Mariin nitong pinahiran ang mga luhang bumagsak mula sa kanyang mga mata. They said that real men don't cry, but they were wrong real men cries. And he is crying because he could never have his daughter back.

"Get some rest and leave I don't want you here."

With that word Agustos leave the room, leaving Loki alone. His mind were wondering of what if's they could had a happy family if he didn't let himself hurt Asia. He can't admit how much he fell for his wife because his too blinded in anger and revenge. Narinig ni Loki ang muling pag bukas ng pinto ngunit wala siyang lakas upang harapin ang taong papasok. It was a long silence till someone put a doll on his chest.

He was startled to see a beautiful kid standing beside him looking intently on him. Hindi na niya malayan ang sarili na umupo at ngumiti sa batang babae.

"Hi..."

But the kid didn't answered instead she climb on the bed and sat on his lap. Then her little hand touch his cheek making him flinch in pain.

"Why are you here?"

But for the second time around she didn't answered, she took the doll on his side and gave it to him.

"Is this your doll?"

The kid nodded and smile. Tinuro nito ang sarili at ang manika matapos ay pumikit at niyakap ang sarili, Loki felt the connection between them as he immediately understand her.

"She is a friend... Hello friend my name is Loki."

A giggled escape on the kid's lips making him smile too. It was just a wholesome feeling, maybe because he likes kids. Nakikita niya ang kalayaan sa mga bata at ang kasiyahan ng mga ito sa simpleng bagay.

"Where is your Daddy?"

The girl suddenly change her mood, tila nalungkot ito habang marahan na umiling.

"You don't have a Daddy? Me too, I don't have a Daddy."

He remembered his father again, he actually felt the pain remembering his father. He was a daddy's boy before but everything change when his father cheated on them bringing home a kid with him. And that is Luhence his brother.

"I-I don't have a Mom too." Malungkot niyang wika.

Naramdaman na lang niya ang malilit nitong kamay na nakapalupot sa leeg niya. He hugs her back feeling her warm over him then he just realize that he was already crying.

FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, Loki has Atlas as his companion he knew her name when she came one night with a paper and pen in her hand. She also said that she was already five years old, gusto niyang isipin na si Atlas ang anak nila ni Asia but Atlas age doesn't fill the gap. Atlas is a bubbly kid, ang kaso nga lang ay hindi ito nag sasalita she is more on writing and drawing.

"Your favourite color is Blue? Me too. I love blue." He said even though he loves gray and black color.

Atlas beem a smile and write something on her paper.

"My home?" Basa niya. "I live far away from here, I just came to get my princess back but I was too late."

Atlas was so confused then she wrote down something again.

'A princess'

Loki nodded and smile, he then took his wallet on the lamp table beside him and took Asia's picture and show it to Atlas.

"She's beautiful isn't she?"

Atlas nodded but confusion is written all over her face.

"What's the problem?"

Muli sanang mag susulit si Atlas ngunit nabulabog sila ng pumasok si Agustos. He was shock for a minute to see Atlas beside Loki.

"Atlas, baby what are you doing here?"

Nag mamadaling lumapit si Agustos kay Atlas at binuhat ito. He then took her notebook and looks back at Loki.

"What did you do to her?!"

"Nothing.."

Atlas snatch the book on Agustos hand and write something on it. Napakunot ang noo ni Agustos ng mabasa ang sinulat ni Atlas he then leave without saying any word. Loki wave to Atlas before closing the door, aalis na siya ngayong araw. He was sad that he will not see Atlas again as he promised Agustos that he will never come back.

He was lost in oblivion corrupted on Asia and his happy memories together that he didn't realize Luhence standing near him.

"Ngayon naba ang uwi mo?"

Loki blink numerable times and nodded, umalis siya sa kama at inayos ang mga gamit.

"Ngayon na ba ang uwi mo?"

"Oo, I promise to leave and never comeback."

Binuksan niya muli ang wallet at tinignan ang larawan ni Asia na mahimbig na natutulog. A smile cross his lips while looking at it.

"I was the one who found Asia that day."

Loki froze then he looks back at his brother.

"She was bleeding so hard and she lost your kid, a week after that Asia died too."

Mariin niyang kinuyom ang mga kamay he wants to punch his face for killing Asia and his child. Siya ang may kasalanan, he is a murderer. Siya ang pumatay sa anak at asawa niya.

"Why are you saying all of this to me now? So I would suffer? I'm suffering more than you think don't worry."

Luhence shook his head and walk towards his bed, he sat on it and looks at his brother shedding a tear.

"Aside from making you suffer, I just want you to know what happened." Wika nito at may dinukot sa bulsa. "And Asia leave this letter to you."

Loki froze, hindi niya alam ang gagawin sa sinabi ni Luhence. Asia leave a letter for him? Dahan dahan siyang lumingon at nakita ang nakatuping papel sa ibabaw ng kama. His knees were trembling as he sat beside it, nanginginig na inabot niya ang papel at binasa ang laman non. It was indeed Asia's hand writing.

'Hi Loki,

   Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan dahil sa totoo lang natatakot ako sa puwedeng mangyari at sa puwede mong gawin, buntis ako Loki I'm 3 months pregnant and I can't tell you. I'm afraid that you won't like it and you'll do something you'll regret on later. Gusto ko sanang makasama ka sa pag bubuntis ko dahil sobrang hirap, I need to hide my signs of pregnancy because of you. Pero okay lang, as long as you are there, kung mababasa mo man ang sulat na to please considered my baby and spare her or him from your anger and revenge.

  - Asia.

Napahawak na lang si Loki sa mukha at patuloy na umiyak. Asia is the greatest thing that happens to him but he let her go.

"Atlas what are you doing in that man's room? He is a stranger sweetheart."

Atlas pout, she took her notebook and pen and write something on it.

"He looks nice though."

Agustos sighed.

"Uncle Leonardo looks nice too right?"

Atlas sighed and nodded then she wrote something on the paper again.

"Is he gonna leave?"

Agustos nodded and kiss Atlas's fore head.

"He is, and he will never comeback."

"But why?" Atlas wrote. "I'm getting sad for no reason."

Agustos sighed.

"Because he can't be here any longer Atlas he is not a friend."

Atlas fought, then she wrote something on the paper again.

"He said that he was here for his princess."

"Hmm..."

"But why is he holding Mom's picture on it?"
