The day my brother leave, the day atr vinny appeared infront of our frontdoor kneeling ,
"stand up ate, kuyas gone now! "I told her
she was hesitant at first but she stand and hug me, wala na akong nagawa kundi yakapin pa ito, nagtungo kami sa loob at pinainom ko muna ito ng tubig.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry elliyah, I didn't mean to hurt glen your kuya I didn't mean to! "paulit ulit nitong sabi.
"ate Vinny tge damage has been done, I don't have the right to say this to you but my brother is hurting, hindi ka naman cguro makati para magpagalaw sa iba right??I know you have the reason for doing that! "diko na napigilang saad dito
"i-i was raped! "mahina ngunit rinig na rinig ko kaya naman napako ako sa kinauupuan ko at nanlalaki ang mga matang tumingin dito.
"the guy your huging infront of your house?! "
"it's my cousin! "saad nito
"goshhh!!ate I'm sorry I'm sorry for my words.! "
"no elliyah it's okay, I didn't have the time to talk to your kuya because I'm afraid of going out, I have a trauma outside! "iyak nito saakin kaya niyakap k muli ito at naiyak narin ako.
of all people why her!!
after ng pag uusap namin i witnessed how ate Vinny struggle, hindi niya pa kayang magkwento tingin at tingin din sya sa labas, hinatid ko muna sya bago ako bumalik and i called my brother sakto namang nagpapahinga na sya.
"why don't you talk to ate Vinny! "bungad ko dito
"elliyah I'm tired okay, mangungumusta ka ba oh ano?!"suplado nitong saad
"kuya! ate vinny has a reason, talk to her!call her please I'm begging you! "tila ba naguguluhan kung saad dito.
I know my brother is in pain but what about ate vinny??
"did she talk to you?! "mahinahon na nitong sabi ,napaisip naman ako kung sasabihin ko ba o hindi
"yes, the masn she's hugging is Ali his cousin, na kakarating lang galing USA ,kuya I don't have the right to tell you her reason, ask her talk to her she needs it! "saad ko dito
"I'm hanging up kuya bye! "tuloy ko at pinatay na ang tawag.
Days and weeks has passed I didn't even know if kuya call ate vinny, nag uusap kami ni ate vinny but I'm just waiting for her to tell, ayokong magtanung o makialam sa kanila.
Pagdating ko sa bahay ay agad akong tinimplahan ni nay Lydia ng coffee ko at may binigay na mga papel, ang tanging nakakuha ng pansin ko ay ang sulat ng banko.
"why would the bank send a letter?? !"taka kung saad dito.
Dahan dahan kung binuksan ito ,at I was so shock when I read the letter, it is a statement about my fathers loan na hindi pa nababayaran and they will take the house if in one month hindi pa nabayaran ang utang.
Tila ba hindi ako makagalaw oh makaisip, I didn't know about this, ni hindi ko alam na ginamit ni daddy ang bahay para makakuha ng pera sa bahay.Nagdadalawang isip pa ako kung sasabihin ko kay kuya pero habang nag iisip I think I can solved this one I just need to trust myself. Itinago kona ang sulat at hindi na sinabi pa kay Nay Lydia hindi rin naman na sya nagtanung kahit nakita niya ang reaksyon ko.
The next day was I was hesitant to tell tita Sylvia ayokong magbigay sila ng pera dahil alam kung magagalit ang asawa nito,where can I get the money!! Tulala ako sa magdamag ng biglang may isang sopistikadang babae In her 50's came to me.
"how me I help you?! "magalang kung tanung.
"can I talk tou you privately! "she said while looking at my co workers kaya naman kahit nagtataka ay inaya ko syang pumasok sa office ko.
"Hindi na ako magpatumpil tumpik pa I am Chel Cuevas just call me tita for formalities, I came her to offer you a job! "diri diritsyo nitong sabi
"I'm sorry ma'am but I don't even know you?! "I ask her
"I am one of your fathers friend, may utang din sya saakin, we sign a contract in exchange of money! "sabi nito at may inabot saaking envelop kahit nagtataka ay inabot ko ito at binuksan
The contract was all about work where in I need to be an assistant to pay for my fathers debt.
Natatawa nalang ako sa mga nangyayari saakin??
Sa lahat ng pwedeng gawin ng tatay ko bakit ganito pa ,halos ibenta na niya ako sa lahat, I feel the pain in my chest while reading the contract!!
Pero nagtaka ako ng babayaran pa ako ng ginang at hindi ko na babayaran ang utang ng aking ama, in one condition I fucking need to make his nephew fall inlove with me and Mary me!!!! thats the condition, at kung hindi ako papayag o pipirma sa contrata na dala niya ngayon she will take the house and also I need to pay for the money my father got.
When Im off to work, I was very drain that I didn't even bid good-bye to my Co workers. I was walking out of nowhere and even saw a couple kissing but I didn't have the gut to react or even roll my eyes I just stare at them and continue walking hanggang sa natigil ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng may mabilis na sasakyan ang papunta sa diriksyon ko,hindi ko magalaw ang mga paa ko kaya naman napapikit na lamang ako. To my surprise natumba nalang ako sa gilid yakap yakap muli ng isang estranghero..
" are you f*cking blind?? Do you want to die!! "nakakabinging sigaw ng napakalamig na boses na pamilyar, hindi na ako nagreact at tumayo na ako at nagpasalamat lang tsaka muling naglakad.
I really wanted to cry!! I really wanted to die right now!!
The man grabbbed my hand at pinaharap ako sa kanya.
"hey! are you OK?! "sabi nito
napatingin na lamang ako sa mga abo nitong mata at sa di inaasahan ay napahagulgul nalamang ako sa mga bisig nito.Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit ngunit may pag iingat and once again dinala niya ako sa napakaganda niyang bahay, ng tumigil na ako at napakalma ko ang sarili ko nahihiya akong tumingin dito na nakatitig lang din saakin.
"I'm sorry and thank you din! "nahihiya kung saad dito.
"Do you think killing yourself will solve your problem?? "sabi nito habang titig na titig ang mga mata nito saakin kaya naman napaiwas ako ng tingin.
" I didn't mean to !!I was thinking of something, I didn't even notice that I'm crossing !"it was my excuse
"seriously woman? are you nuts?! "saad nito at tumayo tsaka nagtungo sa kusina at nagtimpla ng kape tsaka inabot saakin ang isa.
"by the way I'm elliyah? and your name?! "tanung ko dito
"Call me Kelvin!"walang ka emo emosyon nitong sagot.
"pero narinig ko your name was Sandro? "nagtataka kung tanung ,He was the man in the cafe, the man na sinabing im his fiancee and all.
"were not close enough for you to call me Sandro! "suplado nitong sabi na ikinataas ng kilay ko.
"ay sorry ah??pagkatapos akong masampal ng dahil sayo shuta ka!"diko napigilang saad kaya ng tignan ko ito may nakatitig nanaman sya saakin.
"can you stop staring at me like that!! your like a maniac!!!!"
"a maniac??!"hindi nito makapaniwalang sabi and for the first time I saw him smile.
"hey! you smiled?! "tila ba bata kung saad dito kaya agad ding nawala ang ngiti nito sa labi. Napasandal ako sa sofa ng dahan dahan siyang lumapit saakin at nakatitig sa labi ko.
"Maniac huh??!,the ilk show you what maniac is! "he smirked at me habang titig na titig sya sa labi ko kaya naman mabilis na tinulak ko ito pero mabilis niya ding hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"hey! I was just joking! "bulalas ko dito.
"really?!" nang aakit nitong tanung at ng ilalapit na sana nito ang labi nito sa labi ko ay mabilis kung sinubsub ang mukha ko sa dibdib nito at naramdaman ko anamn ang paggalaw ng dibdib niya at ang malakas niya tawa.
"your blushing??!" he laugh
"happ??! "inis kung saad at tuluyan na syang tinulak at tumayo.
"i need to go,by the way nice meeting you Kelvin! "saad ko at umalis na hindi ko na hinintay ang sagot nito.
He saved my life!
