Third Person's POV
[Ooh guys the chap will contain so much chismis from PH like lifestyle and yung mindset.. I wanna expose some reality of our society ^<^]
"M/n!! Kamusta ang Japan, mars!"
"Hay! Maganda naman.. kayo ba mga insan, aunties?"
"Huy, napakaraming chismis ang nakahanda! Huling huli ka na sa mga balita! Mga kabataan ngayon, matindi!"
"Hala ano meron?! Sige sige, spill ang chismis!"
"Eto, yung kapit bahay natin dati naalala mo si Aling Tess? Mga anak niya nagsitapos na ng kolehiyo pero niisa walang tumulong sakaniya!"
"Sus! Eh ano pa pamilya ni Mang Juan? Mga anak niya, nagsibuntisan eh ang hirap hirap na nga ng buhay! Mga wala na nga mapakain sakanila, nagdagdag pa ng mga palamunin!"
"Ay jusko maria!?"
"Oh eto naalala mo yung dating nagkakalat lang sa labas na babaita? Nag asawa nalang ng matandang Amerikano!"
"Oo, tas yung Ex ng anak ko na yan si Serafina.. eh andami palang babae! Niloko siya!"
"Hah?!"
"Tas, yung anak naman ng.."
Yes, here we are. Welcome to the Philippines 🍵
In which napakaraming dark issues, toxic mindsets and stupid rumors na lumalaganap. Ageism, homophobia, body and slut shaming, racism etc. are one of the main problems of the society right now.
Pagmayaman at nakatira ka sa abroad, mataas at karespe-respeto ang tingin nila sayo. Or.. they would treat you shit kasi may mga taong inggit talaga.
Kaya hindi magpapatalo mga pinsan mong naka tingin narin sayo with judging side eyes.
You're just silent seating alone on a table, wearing a sunglasses. Walang pake sa iba. All of them are gathered with their own business.
You're wearing a simple summer dress. Ang venue ng reunion is located in a big private resort na may pool. Another thing behind nito, ay isa sa nagsponsor ang dad mo.
"Mayaman na siguro kayo, M/n. Negosyante ka pa!"
"Aba'y, hindi lang ako- pati anak ko! Y/n!! Babaita! Tara dito! At magbless ka sa mga tiyahin at tiyihin mo!" your attention was called! halos lahat tumingin sayo!
"Yes po, mommy." sumunod ka rin naman.
"Oooh, siya pala yung pinsan natin na taga Japan. Nanonood kaya siya ng Anime?"
"Malamang! Pero.. uy mukang chicks din siya- aray!"
"Pinsan nga natin yan e! Pero mayaman yan, sabi ni mama.. piloto daw tatay niya!"
"Wow.!? Edi mayaman din tayo- aray! Ano nanaman?!"
"Sila lang! Siya lang!"
"Hm, is she smart academically? Has good backgrounds?"
"Muka namang matino, ang amo ng muka niya.." those are some gossips naman, marami pa.
"Etong anak ko, masipag sakaniyang negosyo. Halos daig ako!"
"Buti ka pa, hija! Mg anak ko puro kpop, ML, Balorant-balorant.. saka yung ano yun? Ginseng Impact? Oh yun! Mga naadik na." again, your cousins started to think of you. They just got compared!
"O tas puro paglalandi! Naku! Wag lang nila pabayaan pagaaral nila! Ikaw ba, hija Y/n.. may boyfriend na????"
All eyes are on you! You look at your mom and gulped.
"W-wala po."
"Yun! Yan ang mabuti! Mas okay talaga siguro kung sa abroad nakatira, ano? Mas maganda buhay. Dito sa Pinas, mahal mahal ng tuition.. tas ano sahod? Nga nga!"
"Wala nasa Pinas tayo mars eh! HAHAHAHAHA"
"Gutom ang abot mo dito!"
'Wtf.. they're so loud. Just hearing their lifestyle makes me sick.' you started to feel very uncomfy.
"You must be.. Ate Y/n! Right?" a girl that looks younger than you approached you. Finally.
"Yeah..? Hello."
"Pagpasensyahan mo na po mga naririnig mo. Haha! Mga OA lang talaga tao ngayon!"
"I don't mind." but medyo naiintriga ka.
"By the way, I'm Danica! Danni nalang tawag mo.. I'm one of your Tita Rosie's daughter hehe! We're 5. I'm 14 years old."
"I.. I see. Nice to meet you, Danica?"
"Dani nalang! Grr. Ikaw? May kapatid ka pa and.. ilang taon ka na? I know ate ka sakin!"
"Uh. I'm an only child. I'm 16, turning 17 this December."
"Woow. Pero sure kang single ka lang?! Ang pretty mo!" you blushed from her words.
"Anyways, family of twins kami! Bunso ako, and may dalawang twins akong older siblings... kasing age mo sila Ate Drite and Ate Drea!"
'Oh..'
"Then, yung mas older sibling pa namin.." she kept on making kwento pa and introduces other people. Although hindi mo masaulo mga itsura and names.
Hindi ka rin naman ganon ka interesado dahil brokenhearted ka pa rin! Damn.
"May I ask, Danni.. why are you not along with your siblings right now? If it's okay?" you asked out of curiousity kasi daldal lang siya ng daldal sayo
"Oh. Hindi kami good terms hehe.. kahit nasa iisang bahay lang." that made you froze.
Kung may kapatid ka lang, you will get along with them! Bakit hindi sila good terms kung magkakapatid sila?
"May mga sari sariling buhay sila. You know, bunso kasi ako. Napagiiwanan lagi. Toxic silang lahat.. and I hate them."
"Why?"
"Sila Ate Drite at Ate Drea puro lovelife, gala saka pasarap sa buhay! Wala silang pakelam sa grades nila. Tapos yung oldest ones.. sila Ate Sera– ayon diba? Siya lagi usapan ng mga family reunion. Sobrang daming issue niya sa buhay!"
"E? I pity you.."
"Sanay me!" but there's really pain on her voice.
"So all of you are girls.. but who's the other one? Kala ko 5 kayo?"
"Ay.. may isa kaming boy! Yung eldest, siya yung twin bro ni Ate Sera! Kuya Stan! Wala siya ngayon kasi busy lagi sa studies. Med student yon, si Ate naman English Major.. wala talaga silang time sakin."
"I see."
Then, nagpatuloy sa pagkwkwento si Danni. Puro bad things at ineexpose niya ugali ng mga kapatid niya! Ang toxic nga. Hindi lang mga kapatid niya, pati iba niyo na ring pinsan.
Naubos na social battery mo at bigla mo nalang din namiss Ex mo. Ayaw mo na dito..
"Hahaha, nak. 'Bat mo nasabi naman na wala kang boyfriend? Kinakahiya mo ba si Fuyu?" mahinang tanong sayo ng mommy mo habang sa pagkainan.
"I'm just saying the truth mommy, haha."
"Luh? Umayos ka nga ng kausap-"
"Wala na po kami. We broke up po.."
"Ha!? Kelan pa!? Bakit!?"
"N-naisip po namin na unahin nalang po yung studies. For the better."
"Nak naman, sigurado ba kayo? Sinasabi ko sayo, Y/n.. bawal na bawal mong bastusin ang anak ng Matsuno. Pero kung desisyon niyo pareho yan.. sige kayo bahala."
You gulped. Shit, another thing why makokonsensya ka lalo. You failed to keep your words na nangako ka sa Dad niya!
But it's for the best naman! Para naman lahat ng yun is sa kaniya..
"Tagal din ng pinagsamahan niyo, manghinayang kaya kayo?"
"Tss."
"Naku, wag mo ko ginaganyan babaita ha? Hay, siguraduhin mo lang study study na kayo."
Wala ka nalang magawa, it's super unhealthy sayo ng mga naririnig mo. Napaka overwhelming lahat.
But when you saw your mom looks happy naman, you are satisfied that you made the decision. You risked everything for her smile. You love her so much kahit mag inarte ka pa.
'Ugh, buti nalang masasarap foods! Maslalo na tong chicken adobo! It's heaven!! Fuyu would love this- ay haha.'
Kumain ka lang ng kumain, culture shock malala pero it's fine.
"Eto pa, hija, Y/n.. tikman mo tong sinigang na niluto ko." an elder approached you, it's your lola from mom side.
"H-hello, grandma?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Nakakatuwa ka naman! Sige, papayag ako ayan nalang itawag mo sakin! Kay gandang bata naman ng apo ko.." that made your heart melt.
Plus, binigyan ka pa ng other foods! Magaan ang loob nila sayo.
But there are still eyeing you with such judgements.
"I am Hanagaki Takemichi! Nice to meet you!"
"Pffff! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Takemiche, ang lalim ng bow mo! Mungtanga, magkabatch lang kayo niyan." pagpapakilala sayo kay Takemichi.
"Ay ganon? O sige, tropa na tayo with Hakkai! Mwahaha! Same school lang kayo ni Baji-kun no?"
"Uh-"
"Chi..fuyu Matsuno? Cool! Tropa tropa na tayo!" Hakkai cheerfully said.
Chifuyu got a very warm welcome, it gave him comfort despite of his broken heart pa. He gained new acquaintance, sincere and good to be with!
"Ayan nalang buhok mo. Muka kang Omu rice sa dati e." Baji suggested his hair down nalang.
"Eh?!" but you said.. muka ka pa rin namang pogi! tss.
"Baji-san.. what if magtransfer ako next school year? Gusto ko ng changes. Changes sa lahat na hindi ko muna siya maaalala at hindi makikita. Pero gusto ko rin magevolve, gusto ko rin lumakas pa."
In other words, gusto na magbagong buhay ni Chifuyu with Baji's help. He wants you to see him change kahit gradually lang muna sa pagbalik mo.
"Ihanda mo sarili mo, Chifuyu. Kahit anong mangyari, makikita at makikita mo pa rin siya sooner."
Is that a challenge? It actually scares him.
But remembering again your words, maybe challenge accepted.
'You'll take it back, Y/n.'
That motivates him to move forward. He wakes up early just to buff himself with harsh work outs. Few more days.. few more days 'til you come back.
'Know our own worth..know our own worth.' inhale, exhale.
'Masamang tao siya. A great liar. Cheater.'
He's chanting to himself every words na pinagsasabi nila sakaniya that you're a bad person naman talaga.
'Unforgivable.'
"Gah!" he kicked a flower pot.
It's not enough. It's so hard, he just took the challenge 'tas parang hindi niya ata kakayanin.
Kahit anong galit niya sa umaga at maaraw na oras, he will always be pathetic at night..
'Still, no replies.. damn it!!! Hindi niya ba talaga nakikita..?'
"Tangina naman, Chifuyu." he sobbed talking to himself. Parang wala lang yung sinisimulan niyang pagbabago.
'What have you done to me..' everything you told him will always hunt his heart.
So many plans and dreams has been destroyed. With just your sudden change, wala na talaga?
You're heartless.
"Fine, sa u-una lang naman ako magiging ganito.. diba? I-i can still change. Konting tiis."
