Afterlife

Prologue

Naglalakad ako papunta sa parking lot ng school kung saan naka park ang aking sasakyan. Me and my twin brother, Xavier, had our birthdays last week and our parents finally gave us our own cars. I can already see my car at the far end of the parking lot and I started walking towards it. I stopped on my tracks when I heard a familiar voice calling me.

"Alistair de León! Bro, teka lang," sigaw ng aking kabarkadang si Harry.

"Kung wala ka pa sa harapan ko within 10 seconds, uuwi na ako," pabiro ko namang sagot.

Tumakbo si Harry papalapit sa'kin. Pawis na pawis at humihingal pa si tanga.

"Bilis mo palang tumakbo eh, pwede ka ng sumali sa Olympics," sabi ko habang tumatawa.

"Fuck off, Ali. Tunog ng tawa mo parang asong tinapakan ang buntot," wika niyang may halong biro at galit.

Lalo akong natawa sa sinabi niya. When I looked back at him he had this face of seriousness and determination.

"So, what's up? Anong kailangan mo, mahal na prinsesa?" I said to lighten up the mood.

Tinitigan niya muna ako nang ilang segundo and I did not expect the words that would come out of his mouth.

"Bro, may aaminin ako. I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time. I like your girl."

"How come?" I asked him with a serious tone.

I admit I was taken aback pero hindi ako nagulat sa sinabi ni Harry. It's obvious that he has feelings for my girl, Abigail. Whenever I'm not around, I always ask him to be with Abigail to keep her company and nakikita ko palagi ang masayang ngiti nito.

"B-b-basta!" he stuttered nervously.

I bet he expects me to punch him in the gut. Nababakla na ata to si Harry. Gaano na kaya kabilis yung tibok ng puso nito?

I remain silent as he adds,"Pero gusto mo ng makipagbreak sa kaniya diba? Bro, ako na bahala magcomflirt dun."

I smirked and patted his shoulder,"Wag kang mababakla, namumutla at pinagpapawisan ka na oh. Naiintindihan naman kita."

"Serious moment na 'yon tol tapos ngayon ka pa magbibiro. Gago ka talaga," sagot niya habang humahalakhak.

"Sige bro, uwi na ako. Babushhh baklaaa," wika ko while waving my middle finger.

Hindi niya alam na I already tried breaking up with Abigail about a million times. Pero every time I tell her that I wanted to stop, she always does something crazy and I can't just stand and do nothing. Nakakagigil talaga yung babaeng yun. I was only forced to date her because of a bet. Don't get me wrong, she was great at first. But as time goes by she gets possessive and psychotic. Tanginang buhay 'to.

I am entering Residencia de León. The large gates swung open. Swerte ko talaga at naging sperm ako ni Papa. I parked my car by the driveway and headed inside. I went inside and was greeted by our housemaid.

"Magandang gabi, hijo."

"Good evening. Kailan balik nila Mama?"
