AUDRESYNE

"Make sure to maintain the balance and stable position. Your grip on the gun shouldn't be too tight. Align the sights with the target, the front sight should be centered and level with the rear sight- are you fucking listening?" malamig ngunit may halong inis kong wika sa lalaking akala ko ay seryosong nakikinig, nakatitig lang pala sa akin.

"Yeah, and once I shot this, you will be my next target and I'll shoot my seed- fuck!"

Nasuntok ko ang braso niya.

We're at the headquarters, particularly on the shooting range floor. He wants to learn how to use guns, pumayag nalang ako dahil malaking benefits rin ito sa kaniya. Naituro ko na sa kaniya ang iba't-ibang klase ng baril at ngayon ay ginamit niya muna sa pag-eensayo ang pinakamadaling gamitin na baril para sa mga beginners. Pero talagang hindi kami matatapos kung puro lang siya kalandian.

I decided to proceed and guide his posture and the proper way to hold the gun, pero kapag magkakalapit ang aming mukha ay magnanakaw siya ng halik sa aking labi. Yung mga tauhan kong nagbabantay lang sa gilid ay halos hindi na makatingin nang deretso.

Kapag ako mapikon, siya na ang babarilin ko.

His first shot hit the target's face, but the red dot was on the forehead, so I had him try again. Madali lang naman ito sa kaniya, especially that he's skilled with bows and arrows, both long and short range. Naninibago lang siya sa baril dahil mas mabigat ito at dapat kontrolado ang paghawak kapag pinutok. His second shot hit the target's eye area, until third and fourth, he successfully hit the forehead on his fifth shot.

Ilang oras pa kaming naroon sa shooting range bago napagdesisyunang umuwi dahil nag-text si Mom na bibisita sina Eullasyne sa bahay.

Nadaanan pa namin ang tatlong penguins na inaaabala sa kakulitan at nagpapabida pa sa aking mga tauhan na nag-eensayo sa field. Isa sa mga rason kung bakit inis sa kanila ang aking vice queens.

And talking about them, their first meeting was actually hilarious and it was like World War III. These three adventurous penguins went all over the headquarters, causing mischief everywhere.

I still remember how the girls told me how they met these three annoying penguins.

Lucino curiously went inside Kyseen's office tech lab and messed with the computers and devices. Kyseen noticed someone inside her office through her high-technology wristwatch. Seeing the error-filled screens, she almost killed Lucino because she thought he was a spy. Mabuti nalang at naroon si Mr. Umi at sinagip siya.

On the other hand, naglalakad naman si Gabru sa pasilyo na tanging brief lang ang suot. Nagkataong naroon si Polain at nakita niya si Gabru. She screamed. Halos batuhin niya ng punyal ang lalaki. Nagkataong naroon si Mr. Kani at sinabing bisita ko si Gabru. Well, Gabru reasoned out that I told him before it was okay to walk around with only underwear! I remember that! Pero hindi ko naman alam na tutuhanin niya!

Meanwhile, Ealla was talking to herself in the mirror, wearing bikinis while taking selfies. Suddenly, she saw someone at her door. Corio was watching her, specifically at her butt. She chased him and ended up at the fire exit. Narinig ni Mr. Oba ang malakas na sigaw ni Ealla at ang mabibigat nitong hakbang sa daan, he immediately stopped them.

My mafia investigators are always there to save those penguins fucking assess.

I let Zarcaen drive my Bugatti. Sa mga nagdaang araw kasi kung hindi si Zozo ang hawak niya, minsan ay manibela. Those days, I trained him how to drive, hindi naman siya mahirap turuan. He's actually a fast learner. Naiinis lang ako minsan dahil hindi mawala-wala 'yung pagkapilyo at minamanyak ako sa loob ng sasakyan.

"MABUTI naman at pinanindigan kayo ng lalaking iyan," Sandrou said, there was a hint of bitterness in his voice.

I'm currently standing beside the pool area, watching two kids playing not far away from me. May nakalatag doon na malaking picnic mat at maraming mga laruan. Eullasyne is playing with her Barbie doll, while Zozo is playing with his cars. Himala nga at nagkasundo ang dalawa. Well, doon lang naman nambabato ng laruan si Zozo kapag pinikon ng mapang-asar na pinsan.

Katabi nila ang aming mga huskies. Nakasalampak rin ito sa may damuhan na tila'y binabantayan ang dalawang bata.

"So, where did you meet that man? Talagang mas nauna pa siyang umangkin sa iyo kaysa sa akin na nakarelasyon mo nang mahabang panahon."

Napakuyom ako ng kamao sa hayag ni Sandrou. Since it's a holiday today, dinala niya ang kaniyang mag-ina sa bahay para makapag-bonding. Eullasyne is currently baking cakes with Mom, kasama nila si Nay Ariola sa kusina.

It has been three weeks since my son's birthday. Alam na rin pala ng parents ko ang patungkol sa kanila ni Zarcaen, Corio, Gabru, Lucino at Nay Ariola na nagmula sila sa Taylorynth at ang patungkol sa mark of duality. At first, of course, they didn't believe us. But they know that I won't joke around. Joking and pranking are not in my vocabulary.

Sinabi ko sa kanila kung saan nagsimula ang lahat. Mula nang magising ako sa bahay ni Origena hanggang sa kung saan ako nalagutan nang hininga sa gitna ng digmaan. Taylorynth and Earth have the same timeline, and I exist in both worlds from the moment the mark is engraved on my back. Pero 'yung consciousness ko ay naroon sa kabilang mundo kaya nagka-coma ako pansamantala sa Earth. I got pregnant on Taylorynth, but when I died, my pregnancy continued on Earth.

Nay Ariola once told me that she heard from Zarcaen's grandmother before that if the marked woman got pregnant in Taylorynth but died later, the baby should be dead too. But the goddess has her own way of giving gratitude to the woman's effort for fulfilling the purpose on Taylorynth. She can transfer the baby to the woman's unconscious body on Earth. That serves as the godess' gift.

Indeed, my baby monster is the most beautiful gift I have ever received.

Iyun ang rason kung bakit ako buntis habang na-coma, my parents felt relief after that because all this time they thought I was raped unconsciously.

However, I wasn't able to save Zarcaen from my Dad's punch that was full of wrath. Binuntis-buntis daw ako at bakit sobrang tagal dumating. Mabuti nalang at naawat ni Mom. My Dad didn't even care after I told them Zarcaen is a Royal King in their continent. Gusto pa ngang makipag-one-on-one.

Starting that day, my Dad and Zarcaen became closer, kahit na medyo bully yung ama ko, Zarcaen remained patient and indeed understanding. Si Mom naman ay napalapit na rin kay Nay Ariola at palagi niya itong kasama sa kusina upang magluto. Samantala ang vice queens naman at ang tatlong penguins ay kulang nalang ipadala ko sa Ukraine para doon mag-gyera. Kahit saan nalang nag-aaway.

Supposedly, wala pa sa plano ko ang sabihin sa tatlong girls ang katotohanan patungkol nina Zarcaen. Una ko munang pagsasabihan ang aking mga magulang. But those girls were born in this world to be certified marites at nag-eavesdrop sa amin.

So, I didn't have a choice but to let them. Even though the girls already know the truth about the three penguins coming from another world, wala pa ring nagbago at patuloy pa rin silang nagbabangayan. Masyadong pikon ang tatlong babae, ang tatlong penguins naman ay sobrang lakas mang-asar.

They shouldn't be in one place.

I think, bullying each other become their hobby. At hindi na ako magtataka kung isa sa kanila ang may nagkakagustuhan na, or who knows lahat sila magkakagusto na sa isa't-isa.

I'm just hoping that there's no love triangle involved. I'm not a fan of that.

Napabalik ako sa reyalidad nang maramdaman ang mariin na titig. Napalingon ako sa kaniyang puwesto. He's talking with my Dad again, currently sitting on a pool lounge chair beside my father. Kanina habang kausap si Dad ay nakatutok lang ang kaniyang mga mata kay Zozo. Ngunit ngayon ay nakatingin na sa akin, I even saw how his brows knitted.

Wala na sana akong balak na sagutin si Sandrou at magtungo nalang sa kinaroroonan nina Dad, but this man keeps pestering me.

"I'm just wondering where did you have your first sex. Is he that good?"

He has no idea of the heaven I experienced during that night, but the aftermath was pure hell.
