Gun.

I went home after our date. I'm so happy  right now. Buti na lang, katulong ko si Tito, nagustuhan ni Diana ang regalo ko. Mom would be happy if I tell her that Diana likes my surpise.

"Manang Ollie, where's Mom?" I asked one of the maids.

"Ah, sir. Nasa kwarto po sila ni Sir Jo. Nag-aaway po sila kanina." The maid said nervously.

"What? Hindi parin lumalabas si Mom sa kwarto? Si Papa lumabas na?" Bigla akong inatake ng kaba. There's something wrong.

The maid didn't replied, she was really nervous.

"Bullshit!" Agad akong tumakbo papunta sa kwarto nina Mom.

I knocked on the door as hard as I can. If that fucker hit my mom again, I swear he's gonna regret it.

"Buksan mo ang pinto!" I shouted at my father.

"Putang ina!—" sinipa ko ng malakas ang  pintuan at nagbukas agad.

Tumakbo ako sa loob at nakita kong nakahiga lang si Mom sa kama. Mukhang tulog. Wala ang aking ama sa kwarto. Lalapitan ko na sana si Mom, nang mapansin kong may pumapatak sa sahig.

"M-Mom? Mom wake up! Ma!" Hinawakan ko si Mama sa braso at parang winasak ang puso ko nang makita kong wala nang buhay ang aking nanay. 

"MANANG!" sigaw ko habang tumatakbo ako sa hagdan. 

The maids were shocked when they saw my lifeless mom in my arms. They called the ambulance, but due to a lot of blood loss, she was dead on arrival when we got to the Hospital. She died 6 hours ago. 

I wasn't there. I wasn't there to help her. She must've suffered while I was having fun with Diana.

I came home late. I told the maids to leave. 12 missed calls from Diana. She must be worried sick. I checked the internet and saw an article about my mom.

I failed to protect my treasure. 

I went inside the kitchen and sharpen the knife. My emotions are mixed up. I feel numb. Rage is flowing all over my body. 

I was sweating, looking for that old fucker. 

Sa basement. Nasa basement siya. Tumakbo ako ng mabilis at bumaba  sa basement. I saw him, sitting on the chair, he's drunk, holding a gun. 

Wala na kong masabi. Pagpasok ko'y agad siyang nakatingin sa akin. He smirked. 

"Tangina mo!" pinatak ko ang kutsilyo at tumakbo papalapit sa kaniya  at agad hinakawan sa may kuwelyo ng damit niya, naipatak niya ang baril na sa tingin ko'y naka kasa. Hindi ko s'ya kayang tignan. Nandidiri ako.

"Do you... do you know that you killed mom?!" mas hinigpitan ko pa ang hawak sa kaniyang kuwelyo, pakiramdam ko'y puputok na ang dibdib ko sa sobrang galit.

"She was a nuisance after all~" 

Nanlaki ang mata ko at sinuntok siya sa mukha. He fell down to his knees.

"Ang angas mo, a?! How dare you do that to your father!" sinubukan niyang tumayo ngunit inapakan ko agad ang ulo niya. Now, he's being crushed by my foot.

"Gusto mo rin ba akong patayin? Sige! Ayoko rin naman sa inyo ng nanay mo! Mga pahirap kayo sa buhay ko! Dapat sa inyo patayin-" hindi nya pa natatapos ang sinasabi niya, mas binigatan ko ang paa ko.

He looked at me like he wanted to kill me too.  I stared at him with a blank face. 

"G-Glaring at me, huh?-"
