Tw : Domestic Violence

[Kabanata 25]

AFTER THE LUNCH, they went to the sala so I just followed them. It seems, they wanted me to just act at home. But I still can't...

Naninibago ako.

Napabaling ang aking tingin sa kanilang buong pamilya na ni-occupy ang mga couch, those single chairs also some just seated on the floor. They looked so happy.

I felt envious, know that they're happy with their family.

How about my family?

“Arra, halika rito!” Agad naman akong dumalo sa kanila pero my gazed shifted to the certificates on the wall.

Celene Amira Luna, Summa Cumlaude. BS Psychology.

Krateau Helios Bustamante, Magna Cumlaude. BS Accountancy.

Naiwang nakabuka ang aking bibig dahil sa mga nakita. How smart his parents were?!

Well, that explains why he had the brain. So... baka ako lang bobo rito.

“Oh, baka pasukan ng fly mouth mo.” Agad kong tinikom ang aking bibig. Nahihiya koh binalingan ang kan'yang pamilya. It was embarrassing!

“Ah... hehe.” Awkward kong ani, agad din naman silang nagtawanan lahat. Pilit din akong tumawa para makisabay.

Nakakahiya!

“Oh, those are our parents certificates.” Kreios stated, tumango lang ako at nakatungo na lumapit kay Kian.

I saw how he was amused seeing me like this. I saw also, that he grinned.

“Anong nakakatuwa?” Mataray na tanong ko at sinabayan pa ng pag-irap ng makaupo sa tabi niya.

Well, the place that we were seated was a bit far from his family. Naramdaman kong nasa aking likuran ang kan'yang kamay, at bahagya rin siyang lumapit sa 'kin. Nakaupo kami sa sahig, nagkatinginan kaming dalawa.

“Can I?” Though I was confused what he was referring to, I just nodded.

Agad ko ring naramdaman ang kan'yang mga kamay na dahan-dahang naglakbay patungo sa aking balikat. Hanggang sa inakbay niya na nga ito.

Hindi na rin ako nagreklamo. Narinig ko pa ang pagtikhim ng ilan, ang mga mgiti rin nila. Napatingin din ako sa dalawang lalaki, si Kircheon at Klarence. May sariling mundo.

Hindi ko alam ngunit masaya silang tingnan. They looked good at each other, and I can tell how they love each other. Masaya ako na kahit maraming tao ang Hindi sila kayang tanggapin at pandirian nagawa pa rin nilang labanan at namayagpag ang kanilang pagmamahalan.

“When I met your Tita Amira, Arra. I find her funny.” Nakatawang ani Tito, kahit na hindi ako natawa, tumawa na rin ako. Para na nga akong timang.

“Kasi nga, her full name is Celene Amira Luna. With seeking her name's meaning, you'd got Moon Moon Moon. Celene means moon. Amira means moon. Luna means moon. But I don't know why she was afraid of moon. But her full name means moon.” Nakasimangot si Tita at bahagya pang siniko si Tito. Agad din itong tumayo.

May binulong sa kan'ya si Tito, agad namang tumango so Tita. They looked at us. Nagpaalam na, “We'll just talk in our room.”

Duda ako.

Thinking about having a conversation in a room with your partner, I know you'd have a bad conversation or no conversation at all.

“Naku, baka may bago na kayong kapatid.” Nakawatang ani Klarence na bahagya pang kinurot sa pisngi si Kircheon, agad namang sumimangot ang lalaki.
