What if your loved ones slowly died because of what you wrote in the notebook?

"Second ka na naman?!" Pagalit na tanong ni Dad habang nasa hapag-kainan kami.
I didn't react and continued what I am doing, eating.
"Bakit parati ka nalang second?! Hindi ako nagtatrabaho sa kompanya araw-araw at gabi-gabi para lang umuwing pangalawa ang anak ko!" He said. He's mad. He's very very mad.
Ngunit kagaya nang inaasahan wala akong naging reaksyon sa mga pinagsasabi niya. I am already immune.
"Sagutin mo nga ang tanong ko," Habang hawak hawak niya ang kaniyang sintido. "Sino ang nangunguna sa inyo ngayon?"
I don't wanna answer his question because it will make him madder.
But do I have a choice? None, right?
"Matt Graeme," Simpleng tugon ko lamang saka nagpatuloy sa pagkain.
"A transferee student?!" Pagalit nitong sigaw.
I just nodded.
Sa simpleng tugon ko ay mas lalong umapaw ang galit ni daddy kulang na lamang ay ipagdampot niya ang mga pagkain na nasa mesa.
"Did he cheat?!"
"No, dad."
"Then why are you in the second place?!" He asked.
I don't know.
I didn't answer him instead I continue eating at ipinag sa walang bahala ang mga kaniyang pinagsasabi.
"I'm going to your school tomorrow. I'm gonna complain to your teacher kung paano ka naging second at naunahan ng isang transferee student?"
Dahil sa kaniyang sinabi ay biglaang kumunot ang noo ko. I don't wanna test my patience right now. 'Cause I'm tired.
"Dad, don't you ever try to do that," Bantang saad ko sa kaniya.
He sat down at saka kumurba ang kaniyang mga kilay. "Why not?"
"Dad, please don't," I am still calm. Ayokong isagad ang pasensya ko ngayon dahil sa totoo lang ubos na ubos na ito noon pa man.
"Why not, sweetheart?" He said in his charming voice (which I don't like the tone) "Let's have your justice at your grades."
Kalalabas lamang ng grades namin kanina and next week pa sana ang release ng cards namin but my dad has many sources at school kaya nakuha niya ang card ko ngayong araw.
"Dad you will be making a scene tomorrow," I replied.
"Oh, I won't do that again sweetheart. So, don't worry okay?"
My dad did something horrible last year. When my grade was already released at siya ang unang nakakakita nito and if he's not satisfied ay agad itong susugod sa paaralan at magtatanong sa mga naging guro ko kung bakit daw ganoon kababa ang mga grado ko. My teachers will explain their side but my father was hard-headed as a rock so he won't believe them. He will gonna start making a scene.
Dahil sa ginawang kahihiyan ni dad noon ay parati na akong tumatambay at kumakain sa library dahil ayokong mabully dahil lamang doon.
"Dad please don't. I don't want to be in trouble again. Let's just accept my grade now," I said.
Ngunit mas nagulat ako sa biglaang pagalit na inilagay ang kamay ni dad sa mesa which made the foods jumped a little. "How dare you to say that! Accept?! No one can accept your grade if ganito ba naman kababa ang mga ito!"
