Why the fuck are you back?
I don't feel good. It isn't nice.
Fuck you.
I miss you so much.
Why the fuck did you come back? You came back for what?
Obviously not for me.
But.. what if?
Fuck you, Zey. My own thoughts are contradicting each other. I can't understand myself. I don't want you here. But I want you here. I hate you for making me like this. Like a mess... a fucking mess.
Meriel called kuya Alton, my cousin, to pick me up. Fuck it's been almost an hour and a half since I ran away and ended up crying here. "You'll be fine, Zey. Kuya Alton's picking you up."
"Why is he even here? What is he doing here? Akala ko ba hindi na siya babalik pa. Eh bakit nandito yang animal na iyan?"
"Zeah? What the hell happened to you? Why are you crying!?" Kuya Alton asked, brushing his fingers through my hair. A ghost, kuya. I saw a ghost. A ghost of the past...
Meriel huffed. "More like we saw Voldemort." Voldemort, who must not be named.
Sumakay na lang agad ako sa kotse. I was still sobbing, but I needed to fix myself urgently.
"Uhh.. is it a bad time to tell you that you need to fix yourself because the grand-grandparents are at home as in like right now...?" Napatingin ako ng mabilis kay kuya. Fuck!
Right now!? Gago amputa hindi pwede 'to.
"W-what? Why? Why are they home? Diba they're coming home next year pa? What's up?!" I had questions. Ugh, every time naman I have questions.
Tanging kibit balikat lang ang natanggap ko mula sa kaniya.
Seconds later, I hear my phone ringing. Sino naman kaya 'to?
Aica calling...
Sorry love. I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone.
'Bumalik siya. Akala ko...'
"I'll buy something at the convenience. What do you want?"
"No, nothing,"
"K,"
Kuya Al would always be my emotional support since middle school days. He would do anything to make his sibling and cousins feel safer than ever. Sometimes, I ask myself what did I do in my past life to have a kuya like him. Even if we bicker a lot of times.
Tumingin ako sa daanan at naisip ko na hindi ito ang daan papunta sa bahay namin.
Pagdating namin sa bahay ay agad akong binati ng mga tauhan nila lolo. Once we entered the house, someone immediately hugged me.
Nang kumalas ang tao sa pagyakap saakin ay ngumiti ako ng maluwag. "Zey! I missed you so much! How have you been?" To my surprise, it was ate Cloe! Kuya Alton's older sister.
Is everyone coming home?!
"O, ano? Tutunganga ka lang ba dyan?"
My mouth formed an 'o.' "I... I missed you too but... is everyone coming home or did everybody already came home?!"
"Yes!" a familiar sweet voice exclaimed. "Everybody came home."
"Lola!" Lumapit ako sakanya at nagmano.
