Prologue

 

1950

 

N asa bukana ng pinto ang sampung taong gulang na si Franco nang marinig niyang sumisigaw si Don Alvaro Sebastian.

Hijo de... caramba !” Ang matanda na itinaas ang baston sa mukha ng anak na si Erlinda. “Iwan mo ang hampaslupa mong asawa, Erlinda, at tatanggapin kitang muli. Kayo ng anak mo!”

“Mahal ko si Crisanto, Papa. Hindi ko magagawa ang sinasabi ninyo,” humihikbing sagot ni Erlinda.

“Mahal!” ismid ng matanda. “Tingnan mo ang resulta ng sinasabi mong pagmamahal, Erlinda. Para kang pulubi. Ipinagpalit mo ang anak ni Don Enrique Montaho sa pobreng iyon na isa lamang tauhan sa rancho, que horror !” patuloy ng matanda. “At hindi kita patatawarin hangga’t hindi mo siya hinihiwalayan.”

Umatras si Franco palabas sa narinig na panghahamak ng abuelo sa ama. Pagkatapos ay kumaripas ng takbo.

“Franco!” Lingon ni Erlinda sa anak. Nag-aakusang tiningnan sandali ang ama at sinundan ang bata.

Si Franco ay patuloy sa pagtakbo at walang kamalay-malay na apat na ranchero ang humahabol sa isang nagwawalang toro. Nagulat pa ang bata sa sigawan ng mga tauhan ng rancho.

“Ang bata! Ang bata!”

Biglang huminto sa pagtakbo si Franco. Natuon ang tingin sa sumisingasing na toro na siya ang tinutungo. Ilang dipa na lamang ang layo nito sa kanya.

“Franco, takbo, anak!” sindak na sigaw ni Erlinda nang makitang ang anak ang pinupuntirya nang nagngangalit na baka. Halos panawan siya ng ulirat sa natitiyak na mangyayari sa anak.

Ang bata ay marahang umatras na sa sindak ay hindi agad makatakbo at sumusugod ang toro. Sa isang kisap-mata’y tumaas mula sa lupa ang bata na hinablot ng isang rancherong nakakabayo at mabilis na inilayo. Subalit hindi bago nasabit ang sungay ng toro sa balikat ni Franco na pumunit sa kamiseta niya.

Ibinaba ng ranchero ang bata sa harap ni Erlinda na walang-kulay ang mukha sa matinding sindak.

“Franco, anak!” Halos hindi lumabas sa bibig ni Erlinda iyon at mahigpit na niyakap ang bata.

“May sugat siya, senyorita,” wika ng magiting na ranchero. Hinubad ang bandanang nakasabit sa leeg at iniabot kay Erlinda. Sa nanginginig na kamay ay itinali nito ang bandana sa duguang balikat ni Franco. Ang bata bagaman natakot ay hindi umiyak kahit na dumudugo ang balikat.

“Oh, Franco...” m uling niyakap ni Erlinda ang bata.

“Kailangang dalhin ninyo agad sa bayan si Franco, senyorita. May sugat siya sa balikat. Baka hindi maampat ng tali.”

Tumingala si Erlinda sa ranchero. Si Alfonso ay kaibigan ni Crisanto. “M-maraming salamat, Alfonso. Utang ko sa iyo ang buhay ni Franco. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko mababayaran ang ginawa mong ito.”

Kumawala sa ina si Franco at tumingala sa ranchero. “Ako ang may utang sa kanya, Mama. Buhay ko ang iniligtas niya kaya ako ang dapat na magbayad,” mariin at malinaw na sinabi ng bata. “Sa anumang paraan, Alfonso, magbabayad ako ng utang.”

Nangiti ang ranchero. “Para kang si Crisanto kung magsalita, Franco Navarro.”

“Sabihin mo kung sa paanong paraan ako makakabayad ng utang, ranchero,” matigas na utos ng bata.

“Franco, anak...”

“Hayaan mo siya, Erlinda. Tulad ng mga Sebastian, hindi niya gustong may pinagkakautangan ng loob. At tulad ni Crisanto Navarro, may halaga ang salita,” ani Alfonso na totoo sa loob ang sinasabi. At natitiyak nito na hindi mapapahinuhod ang bata kung wala siyang sasabihin. “Dadalawang buwan pa lamang na nakapanganak ang asawa ko, Franco, ng isang malusog at magandang babae. Labing walong taon mula ngayon, pakasalan mo ang anak ko,” wala sa loob na sinabi ni Alfonso.

Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ng bata. “Kinokontrata mo ang buong buhay ko pagkalipas ng labing walong taon, Alfonso?”

“Iyon lamang ang kondisyon ko, Franco Navarro. Kung hindi mo gusto, hindi naman ako nagpapabayad ng utang-na-loob. Kalimutan mo, kung gayon,” pormal ding sagot ni Alfonso na tinapatan ang anyo ng bata.

Bahagyang napahiya si Franco. “Matutupad, Alfonso. Pakakasalan ko ang anak mo sa paglipas ng ikalabing walong tag-araw.” Mariin at seryosong binitiwan ni Franco ang pangakong iyon na sinabayan ng paglahad ng munting kamay.

At sa pigil na ngiti ay inabot ng ranchero ang kamay ng bata at mahigpit na pinisil.

“Hanggang sa ikalabing walong tag-araw, Franco Navarro.”

Never Just Friends

I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship

I've always been "the quiet, nerdy girl." The girl with her nose buried in a book, the girl people barely notice. But my world is a lot more complicated than it seems. You see, I'm absolutely, hopelessly in love with my best friend, Logan Reyes-the bad boy everyone wants but nobody can quite hold onto. And he has no idea. Logan and I have been friends forever. We banter, we laugh, and we're close. But to him, I'm just Emma, the girl he'll confide in about everything-except his new flings, like Vanessa, the school's reigning queen bee. She's got her sights on Logan and everyone knows it. Meanwhile, Logan and I share this strange, unspoken chemistry that I can't ignore, even if we act like it's no big deal. But everything changes the night I get roped into a game of spin the bottle at Vanessa's party. When the bottle lands on Logan, he kisses me in front of everyone-and suddenly, it's like I'm seeing Logan in a whole new light, and he's seeing me differently, too. Now he's paying me attention in a way that's unsettling, thrilling, and absolutely forbidden. And just when I think I can ignore it, Logan begins pursuing me-unabashedly, against all the rules he's lived by and despite his so-called girlfriend's wishes. Now, I'm caught in a whirlwind of gossip, jealousy, and emotions I can barely handle. Logan's breaking his own rules for me, and the harder I try to resist him, the more I find myself pulled back. But when we're toeing the line between friendship and something much more dangerous, my heart-and his-are on the line.
