Dallia Gomez' Point Of View

"Dianna..." I spoke of my precious sister's name again and again. I was staring at the great nothingness as I did so.

Nagsisisi ako... kung hindi ko sya inignora noong araw na nakita ko sya ulit, hindi sana nangyari 'to. Her face... I can't forget her face. My last memory of her before we left was when she cried so hard nung iniwan namin sya kay Papa na akala namin ay bibigyan sya ng maayos na buhay.

Naghiwalay ang parents namin dahil sa hirap. Lagi silang nag-aaway, Dianna never knew how big our family's problem was kasi sinisiguro kong wala sya paligid kapag nag-aaway sila Mama at Papa. Hindi ko sya kailan man hinayaang marinig ang bagay na narinig ko. Napaka-iyakin pa naman nya dati pag kami na pamilya ang kaharap, when it comes to her friends napaka-maldita nya at feeling superior.

Napangisi ako sa kawalan nung maalala ko ang kabataan namin... lalo na ang kay Dianna.

When our parents finally decided to separate, they both had to pick one of us na sasama at manatili sa bawat isa. Mahirap sobra, pero sa Mama ko ako sumama kahit hindi sigurado ang kinabukasan na naghihintay sa akin. We had a sari-sari store, more specifically my father's. My mother and I thought Dianna would be better off with the life our father could provide kahit masakit para sa amin.

My mother and I went to a remote province. For a few years nabuhay kami thru farming kahit medyo mahirap buong buhay namin sa city kami nasanay. Nagpapasuhol kami mag-tanim o mag-harvest ng tubo sa Hacienda. We ate two times a day dahil sa hirap... it's the life that I don't want D to have.

One day an eighty year old foreigner came to check the Hacienda para bilhin, that's when he saw my mother na thirty-three pa lang noon, and our lives changed completely when he proposed to marry her after a one night pleasure he had with my mother. Sabi ni Mama she was desperate na baguhin ang buhay namin so she gave her best.

Hindi ko sya pinansin for many days. It was fuckin disgusting. But as she used to say, it was worth it.

Natawa akong mag-isa dahil sa mga memoryang bumabalik sa isip ko habang naka-upo mag-isa sa toilet bowl sa CR nitong kwartong kinulungan na naman nila sa akin.

But my grin slowly faded when I suddenly realized something... "Why the fuck am I here?"

I stood up and stepped out of the CR then I looked around...  where am I? Bakit may bakas ng posas sa pulsuhan ko? Am I in prison?

What? No? Eh bakit walang bintana dito?!

What the fuck did I do?!

I had this urge to destroy something. I can feel my own blood boiling in rage. Gusto kong basagin lahat ng gamit dito sa loob. I fucking wanna let this rage out! My mind is fuzzy, I don't know if I'm thinking right but of course I'm fucking thinking right!
