Chapter 14
Sheun Ash Aldeguer

"Sheun, meet Mr. Dione Gokongwei and his wife."

Dad was talking and I'm not in the mood for introductions. I only want experience.

Tumango lang ako at tipid na ngumiti sa kanilang lahat. I'm starting to hate Dad's job.

Ayoko sa lahat ang makihalubilo sa tao pero sabi ni Dad kailangan ko 'to kung gusto kong magkaroon ng magandang pangalan sa larangan na gusto ko.

I want to be a great engineer like Dad and Lolo. My mother would say I am a daddy's boy, dahil kahit saan pumunta si Dad, kasama ako. Kahit mag-aral pa ko sa ibang bansa, kung doon lang ang trabaho ni Dad, gagawin ko.

I was always at Dad side. Kahit noong may isang taon kontrata siya sa ibang bansa, kaya doon rin akong pinag-aral at kasabay no'n ay ang pagmulat niya sakin sa larangang pareho naming gusto.

Luckily my Dad supports me in everything.

There was a party in Aklan that Dad should attend and he brought me. Nagpalipas kami ng gabi sa isang beach house doon at kinabukasan, sasakay kami sa malaking yacht kung saan gaganapin ang party.

The beach house is big. Dad says malapit lang ang Boracay kaya medyo white sand ang buhangin. I spend almost the day inside our room and read books.

Why would I go out? Ayoko ngang makihalubilo if not necessary.

"Sheun, wala kang balak makipaglaro sa mga bata sa baba?" tanong ni Dad habang nagsusuklay ng kaniyang buhok.

I flip the page of my book, "Nope." I said popping the p.

"You should play with Dione's daughter. I think she's fun."

Bumuntong hininga ako. "Then, you play with her Dad. I like to spend time with my book here with awesome people inside." sagot ko at patuloy parin sa pagbabasa.

I heard my father chuckled. "You jerk of a boy. Bahala ka sa buhay mo." Anito at lumabas na sa kwarto and he just left the door open.

He's hopeless and I'm too lazy to close the door when I'm reading. I plugged my headset on with mellow music playing. I like it like that when reading.

But, my human senses, told me that there's someone peeking at my door. Kaya napatingin ako ro'n. Kumunot ang noo ko lalo na't may narinig akong maliit na boses.

And there I met a little noisy girl na may lakas ng loob tawagin akong engkanto. I locked the door and back again with my book but I just find myself reading the same lines repeatedly.

Why am I being disturbed by that little girl in my thoughts? Why am I kept on thinking that she's just so cute and I want to pinch her cheeks? I think she's already 7 or 8...

Well... I'm just 9.

I jumped out of the bed, left my book on the bed and walk near the window to see the beach at night. But, it wasn't the beach who welcomed me from the window.

It was the little girl crying in front of the big bonfire. She was crying while holding her wrist. Namilog ang mata ko ng makitang may sugat siya. Napaatras ako ng iangat niya ang kaniyang tingin para makita ako.

Agad akong umalis ng bintana at pabalik-balik na lumakad.

"Why the hell is she wounded?" tanong ko sa sarili.
