Chapter 3

A gloomy weather, perfect for today.

“My deepest condolences, Aurelino, Lady di Vonce.” A man in his forties said when he came beside us. Tumango lamang ako dito.

Judging of how he is consoling my exhausted, grieving Father, they seem to be good friends. Well, it is good that he has a friend. Maybe that way, Father can be somewhat at a little ease. Ilang araw itong hindi kumakain ng husto at palaging naroroon sa kanyang opisina.

Mapait akong ngumiti at ibinalik ang tingin sa harap. My fingers slide past the sides of the coffin.

Inside the coffin is my mother, lifeless and pale. Nonetheless, her beauty is not fading. The red roses surrounded her as if it’s worshiping her. Truly, how elegant.

I pursed my lips.

Is it strange? I feel blank. Even my emotions have become somewhat disappearing. Parang kahit ilang ulit kong subukin na magalit, malungkot, at umiyak ay parang kaunti lamang ang nararamdaman ko.

Void?

Mother was the best mother I have ever had. Compared to my past life, I did not have one then since I was orphaned. I did not bother to look over her and my father since I did not care about them. I was a selfish daughter, that may also apply even now.

“Is she the esteemed daughter of Duke di Vonce?” Rinig kong sabi ng isa sa mga dumalo sa burol ng aking ina.

“Mukha nga. I am dying to see what she looks like.” I scoffed at those rude women.

Since I am wearing a black veil, my face cannot be seen easily until I take my veil off.

Mga walang modo. Pumunta ba sila dito para sa burol ng aking ina o para tingnan ang aking mukha?

Napailing ako.

They should mind their ethics first.

“Hilda.” Sambit ko sa aking tabi. Hilda straightened and tuned her attention to me since she was holding my one year old younger brother. Napatingin ako sa kapatid ko.

He looks exactly like the spitting image of mother, blond hair and slightly slanted, eyes. Unlike Mother’s eyes were green, his is black like Father’s. I felt a little calm seeing him, maybe because he is like mother. I wonder if he’s gonna be a doting brother once he grows up.

“Hilda, give me Alluis. You know what to do to those eyesores.” My gaze sharpened.

I feel like choking their necks but I should leave it to Hilda. I do not want their filthy blood in my hands.

Napasinghal ako at ngumisi.

Kill, huh? Did I even think of doing that? Hindi pa nga ako nakanakit ng tao, ang pumatay pa kaya?

I mentally laughed of the silly idea of me killing with my own hands.

Dahan-dahang inilahad sa akin ni Hilda si Alluis upang hindi ito magising. She disappeared from my sight sooner. Nakalayo na rin ang mga walang modo kanina mula sa aking paningin.
