Chapter 7

The following day, Nucho never showed up to school. He couldn't stand being in school without causing trouble and persecuting others, so he decided to stay away.

Vivian continued to avoid interaction with anyone. She was determined to be left alone. Despite that, Lola kept on forcing friendship with Vivian even though she turned her down every time.

Ken kept telling Lola that it's no use, Vivian was cold-hearted if not heartless. If she wanted to be left alone, then let it be so.

A number of students who were affected and disliked Nucho took advantage of his absence at school and decided to form groups, coming up with complaints and concrete evidence on Nucho's bad and despicable behavior towards them, so as to present it to the school council student board, so that Nucho could be expelled from school. It wouldn't be easy, but they were up for it.

Nucho locked up himself in his room. All those days, he was away. He was recking his brain muscles about what his father told him in the office , and he would gladly reunite him with his mother. Those words really affected him greatly.

That Sunday afternoon, he clearly thought about his position in his father's life. It really broke his heart knowing that his father cared more about his political powers, position as mayor and his wealth, and neglected Nucho.

The more he thought about it fully and finally accepting reality, the more it affected him. In a blaze of anger, he drove off to the beach to have some peaceful time to himself and just to be alone.

"I hate you! I hate you! With every fiber of my being. You despicable corrupt, heartless monster!" scream out Nucho as the sea breeze carried away his words.

Since he was just all alone at the beach, he permitted himself to scream and shout as much as he could and fully removed the pain in his heart.

"It's all my fault mom, if only I was brave enough and stood up for you, you could still be alive. Am worthless and hopeless without you mom, this monster you got married to is the real devil himself. I am sorry, mom! It should have been me and not you! He should have just taken my life and not yours." he cried out.

He screamed in anguish for several minutes, full of melancholy he knelt down in the sand and started crying uncontrollably.

"Please forgive me, mom, but my life is not worth living now. I have nothing to live for." he sobbed mildly.

His heart thumped violently against his ribs as he heard a sound behind him. He quickly turned around and stared to see what or who caused the unusual sound.

Whoever it was probably heard everything that Nucho said and that would put the same person in great danger, for knowing such crucial information.
