'Okay lang kaya sya?'

'Mag kasama sila ni Freas kanina.'

'Ang ganda ng pagkakaibigan nila ano?'

Lihim ang naging pag irap ko dahil sa usapang naririnig ko. Kalat na kalat rito na muntik nang mamatay ang kapatid ko, pati narin ang tatay ko.

Simula kahapon ay wala sa huwisyo ang utak ko, how would my mind cool down and rest when there' s a threat in my sorroundings.

She's making a move, that woman is making a move and I can't do something to stop her from targetting my damn family.

I wanna kick her ass and fucking punched her till she fuckin drop but I have a good connections with her fucking children, especially that guy, her eldest. My boyfriend.

Natapos ang pag iisip ko noong may humawak sa kamay ko, I looked at him and saw what he is seeing. He became scared.

"There, you're going to be safe with me." I said before holding his hand tighter.

Habang maglalakad ay hila hila ko sya, he can't fucking move and it's because of his fucking family who just came here! Goddamnit.

Agad naman ang tumigil sa paglalakad dahil sa may humarang sa amin. Freas' Dad and oh so called stepmother.

"Hindi ka umuwi?" tanong nung panot nyang tatay.

"Kaya nga, I am not mad of what you did Freas. Just please go home-" hindi na natapos ni punyeta yung sasabihin nya dahil nagsalita si demonyita.

"Come on, papauwiin nyo pa yan?" natawa ako.

"Of course! Pwede syang umuwi." nakangiting saad ko sa babaeng tinubuan ng kaharutan at kamalditahan na pinglihi sa sama ng loob. Putangina. "He can go to that house whenever he wants because it's HIS house!" tumingin ako sa tatay nya raw. "And it's not yours, kung tutuusin nga anak ka lang ng kagaguhan eh, alam mo?" nakita ko ang pagkuyom ng kamao ni panot.

"You don't know what you're talkong about little weak-"

"Try me, Mr. Motherfucker who just married my bestfriend Mom because of fucking nobility." walang ganang sabi ko. I guess, day by day, a new enemy will be welcomed.

Kita ko parin ang panginginig nua hanggang sa makarating kami sa kung saan. I wanted him to have these high confidence to make himself okay.

"I wanna be a better place. I can't take it anymore."

I feel pity.

"You'll be okay, Freas."

Biglang ang kalampag ng mesa ang narinig ng tenga naming dalawa. I became nervous.

Tunog ng baril, ingay ng mga bato. Pero hindi iyon ang nakapagpalakas ng takot ko, yon ang galit sa mata ng lalaking mahal ko.

"Will I be fucking okay?" he asked. My heart skipped a beat, will he be? No, he will never be.

"Lorcan."

"Calithea, magiging okay ba ako? Ang sakit kasi, tangina." he keeps calling me last night, he keeps on calling me that he needs me but Freas needs me more.

It was my mistake, I didn't had the chance to go to him. He need me.

"Lorcan, mag i explain-"

"Tanginang explanation yan. Wala naman akong gustong makuha sayo, pero kasi kailangan kita." palihim syang sumulyap kay Freas. "Wala, talo ako. Kaibigan mo yan." he laughed. Masakit din sa akin to. Tangina.

"He needed me, he was-"

"He needed you, kaya kailangan kong ipahiram sya sayo. I am being this toxic again, I'm sorry."
