CHAPTER 6

Chapter Six

Straight From Hell

"Dad I didn't know he has a girlfriend. Isa pa, wala naman akong balak na agawin 'yon sa kanya kung sakali. Valeron was my ultimate crush, but that doesn't mean I'll disrespect another girl just to have him! He can go fuck himself, daddy! Wala akong pakialam sa kanilang dalawa ng girlfriend niya kahit na magsama pa sila't tumanda habang buhay! She was the one who attacked me first and it was not my fault she ended up in the hospital! Dapat nga magpasalamat pa siya dahil kung walang pumigil sa amin ay pinaglalamayan na siya ngayon!"

That was the longest speech I've ever made my entire life so that my father could give me some sympathy. Ilang araw kasi pagkatapos kong makalabas ng hospital ay dama kong seryoso na ang mga ito sa pagbibigay ng kastigo sa akin at paghihigpit dahil sa walang katapusan ko nang paghila ng aming pangalan sa iba't ibang klase ng eskandalo.

I was thirteen when I found my father's stash of marijuana and gave it to my friends so we could hit it. Ilang buwan rin iyon bago nila nalaman ang ginawa ko. And since then, nagtuloy-tuloy na ang aking mga kagaguhan.

I know my family loathed me right now. Maging ang mga kapatid siguro ni Daddy dahil maging sila ay nadadamay pero totoong wala akong kasalanan sa nangyari ngayon. If she could've just talk to me and ask me to stay away from her boyfriend then she wouldn't be where she was right now.

Siya ang unang nanakit at kasalanan niya ang lahat dahil ipinagtanggol ko lang ang sarili ko, as I should. Unfortunately, my father was already had enough and it seems like he will not listen to me anymore. Alam ko na ang susunod na mangyayari noong narinig ko pa lang silang nag-uusap ni Mommy pero hindi ko akalaing magiging totoo na ngayon.

Fuck. My mind cursed when I saw that my litany wasn't working.

"That's not the point, Saryna. Your mom was right. You're getting out of hand and you think violence is okay which is not."

"Daddy, ilang mga kaaway at schoolmates mo ang nabugbog mo dati noong nag-aaral ka pa lalo na noong college? Mom even said you punished a guy just because you didn't like how he looked at you! That was violence! And what I did was not because it was only self-defense!"

Napahilot sa sintido si daddy dahil sa aking mga sinabi, mukhang hindi napaghandaan ang mga pagdadahilan ko. Bahagya rin sigurong nagsisisi dahil kahit na anong sabihin niya ngayon ay wala siyang ligtas. I am hundred percent just like him. Maliban na lang sa kasarian ko, but we were exactly the same.

"Saryna, pozhaluysta," dad said, his voice was now pleading. "I want you to understand that I am a guy and getting in trouble like this isn't that bad for us unlike a girl getting into one. It is totally different, baby."

"And that is unfair! Iba na ang panahon ngayon sa panahon n'yo noon ni mommy! Hindi ako basta na lang mananahimik at hahayaang masaktan lalo na kung alam kong nasa tama naman ako! You taught me that so again, respectfully, I want you to understand rin na ipinagtanggol ko lang ang sarili ko at hindi ako ang nagsimula. You've seen me be good this month. kitang-kita namang sinubukan ko kaya sana maniwala ka. It was not my fault, I freaking swear."

"Saryna—"

"You know what? You and mommy should sue that girl for touching me! I almost broke my freaking nose because of her and my hand still hurts! That's what you should focus on and not about grounding me."

Nanatiling tikom ang kanyang bibig. I waited for my father to talk again, but it didn't came. Mukhang wala na talagang maisip na solusyon dahil lahat ay may birada akong balik. Hindi ko na siya hinintay pang makaisip ng solusyon. Nagpaalam na ako kaagad at dumiretso sa aking sasakyan.
