Chapter 33
ACCIDENT

Who did all of this? Why I was suddenly the center of an issue now? Bakit ako sinisiraan? Anong ginawa ko?

I remembered Rino. He warned me about this. If this is Mrs. Gallardo schemes to wreck me, which is possible because there's no one who knows my interaction with Third, I don't know what to do with her anymore.

Hindi ako nag-o-open ng social media ko simula noong nakauwi ako sa bahay kaya hindi ko alam kung ilang araw ng kumakalat ang issue na ito. I'm so doomed. I am viral. Many people hated me so much now. I was accused of a third party. My schoolmates showed what they really feel about me. Everyone testified now how they really perceived me as a person. It's so torture.

Nanghihina akong naupo sa sofa, nanlulumo at naiiyak. I keep scrolling and got more hurt when I saw another post of stolen pictures of me, pulling Third for a kiss, near seven eleven! Ito 'yong araw na umuwi agad ako pagkatapos naming magkita. It was emphasized there that I was the one who seduced and force him for a kiss.

And it's true. That day, I did kiss him first.

I am being monitored and no one could ever do that but Mrs. Gallardo. Nanginig ang mga labi ko, ang luha ay nagbabanta na sa aking mga mata.

Biglang may kumuha sa phone ko at inilayo iyon. "Stop reading everything,"

"Go home," malamig at naiiyak kong usal sa kaniya. "Go the fuck home."

"I'll stay—"

"Your mom's messing me up! She's fucking me so hard! I didn't even do anything! I didn't do wrong! I was just living my life, working hard for money! I just want to survive and sustain my family! I was just following what she wants me to do! Why is she punishing me now? Bakit, Third? Anong ginawa ko?!" hindi ko na napigilan ang pag-iyak.

Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko.

"Anong ginawa ko para gawin sa akin ang ganito? I stayed away like she wants, hindi na ako nanggulo. Umuwi ako para bumalik na sa dating payapang buhay! Bakit ninyo ako ibinabalik sa gulo?!"

I looked at him and let him see how hurt I am right now. He swallowed hard and looked down on me, scared and very hurt too.

"This is all your fault," mariin at walang pakialam ko ng sabi. "I am drag here again because of you! Because you keep on insisting to stay! Kahit tinataboy na kita! Alam mong gagawin na gagawin ito ng Mommy mo pero nanatili ka pa rin dito! Wala kang pakialam!"

Pain crossed his eyes. Yumuko siya at nakita ko agad ang kanyang panghihina.

"Ilang ulit ko ng sinabi na ayaw ko ng magkaroon pa ng koneksyon sa iyo at sa kahit sinong pamilya mo dahil alam kong gaganituhin lang ako! But you're still insisting your fucking presence like I needed it! No! I don't need you! Kapahamakan lang ang dala mo sa akin! Sino ang gugustuhing makasama ka?"

He looked at me with pain and sorrowful eyes.

"Third, saan ba ako nagkulang sa pagpapaalala sa'yong ikaw ang ikapapahamak ko? I fucking ask you to go home! Pero nanatili ka rito kahit alam mong magagalit ang Mama mo! You didn't care about my feelings. You didn't care if it harms me, as long as you're here for your own satisfaction! You're so selfish! Hindi mo iniisip ang kalagayan ko! Gusto mo kagustuhan mo lagi ang nasusunod!"

I didn't tore off our eye contact as I cry more. He looked so down when his gaze glued on mine, eyes moistening in tears.

"Third, gusto ko pang mag-aral..." Hindi ko napigilan ang paghikbi. "Gusto ko pang makapagtapos. Ano pang babalikan ko kung ganitong andami ng kumakalat tungkol sa akin!"
