Chris

"ma?" napaupo ako nang marinig ang pagbukas nang pinto. Alas tres na nang umaga at hindi parin sya umuuwi

Bigla akong napatayo nang bumagsak si mama sa sahig. I smell the liquor in her clothes as I approached her

"fvck" napamura ako nang makita ang mga papeles na nahulog mula sa bag nya. She suddenly started crying

"Gabriel" I heard her whisper that psychopath's name. Umigting ang panga ko nang biglang humagulhol si mama "Gabriel, I'm sorry"

Why was she sorry for that sinful man? Bakit sya nagsosorry sa lalaking sumira nang buong buhay namin?

"Gabriel..." my mother held my face

Right, I looked exactly like that bastard

"I promise to get you out, ok?"

Napatayo ako. Is she insane? That devil deserves to rot in jail! Where he is! "are you out of your mind, ma?" di makapaniwala kong sabi

"I won't let them win against us, Mahal. Pinapangako kong ipapalit ko sila sayo. Sila ang dapat nasa posisyon mo, just give me time, okay? Ok... Honey?" my mother grabbed my leg thinking I was her beloved husband

I tried to take my foot away from her hand as a flash appeared inside my head

"Beg me! Alexa! Kung gusto mong mabuhay ka, beg!"

I watched my father's eyes glimmer with anger as me and my younger brother sat in the corner of the room. Wala kaming magawa. We were scared of the man holding my mom's hair back forcing her to look at him. My mom is kneeling on the floor as he spoke

The 8 year old me was filled with tears on his face. While my 5 year old brother stared at them, innocent at hindi man lang magawang umiyak dahil hindi maintindihan ang mga nangyayari

"mama" my younger brother uttered

I put my arms around him and covered his ears and eyes. He was too young for this kind scenes. He was too young to feel my pain

"Gabriel, yung mga anak mo... Wag sa harap nila pleas-"

Napapikit ako nang marinig ang putok nang baril. The sound rang in our ears as it filled the house. Lumakas lamang ang hikbi ko. He shot the gun on the ceiling just to scare my mother

That demon laughed. His laugh annoys me. He laughs... Like a psychopath

"sila ba?" tinutok ni Papa sa amin ang baril

Takot na takot kong niyakap ang kapatid ko. He's too young. He shouldn't see this kind of violence

"Gabriel, wag... Please wag"

"Please, give me time... I'll make it up to you" napaawang ang labi ko nang makabalik sa realidad. My mom was begging me... Like how she did before

I sat down and helped her sit properly. Naluluha akong niyakap sya "Shh, it's ok... He won't hurt you again, ma"

How can life be cruel to her? Wala naman syang masamang ginawa. She was enslaved by everyone

And I hate her... I hate her for letting this cruel things happen to her. I hate her for risking too much for the glory of others, I hate her... For letting others take away her freedom

Ilang minuto ko syang hinele hele para makatulog sya sa balikat ko. And when I felt her asleep. I carried her to the couch

Nilinis ko ang mga papeles na nakalatag sa sahig nang mahulog ito. At hindi ko naiwasang basahin ang kada isa nito
