A knight in shining armor
-isang kwentong kabulastugan-
By: Karl David Santiago
Kev’s POV
One dreamy summer evening, the streets were as dark as ebony and the sky was lit by countless stars, the night was so quiet that even the droplets of water could be heard from miles away. But where could the drops had come from? It wasn’t raining nor was any water source leaking. Maybe there droplets of blood coming from a wounded person but no it wasn’t. The drops came from the weary eyes of a broken hearted girl from a highly acclaimed yet broken family. Seeing Bey that night alone in that alley was crying her wares away and whispering her woes to the breeze so they’d go away forever was heart breaking for me but then again I couldn’t do anything to comfort her so I just stayed at the rooftop, looking at her and hiding myself.
Why am I like this?
Maybe I’m just too afraid that when I go there and offer to comfort her she’ll just push me away. Why would a pretty girl like her even bothered to be comforted by me, im nothing anyway. Maybe she’d be better alone, she’s smart anyways she’ll know what to do; she doesn’t need anyone like me to comfort her.

Trying hard iyong English ko, pasensya naman daw.. ahaha ang awkward ng simula noh?? Well sorry naman daw kung magiging Tag-Lish-Ish ung mga susunod kasi request lang ahah.. well sa mga may idea na jan. Hindi iniistalk ni Kev si Bey binabantayan nya in case na may mangyari ok? Ahah gusto ko lang linawin, haha..
Happy birthday to Bey sana ang day na to but since Bey’s family isn’t the perfect one, Bey had to endure the sigawan factor sa buong bahay nila coz as usual nagLLQ nanaman ang kanyang loving parents. Yan ang hirap sa rich and prominent parents and highly regarded family maraming mga factors na nagiging cause ng misunderstanding, dapat ung mga problems and misunderstandings ay magpapatibay sa family all it did to Bey’s family was to tear it apart to shreds.
Nang tila humupa na ang pagaaway at natauhan na ang parents ni Bey akala nya naalala na nila na birthday nya hindi pala..
Napagdisisyunan na pala nilang maghiwalay nalang because of irreconcilable differences.
Sino nga aman bang anak ang hindi mapapaiyak sa ganitong scenario lalon lalo na’t its her birthday. To think that all she ever wished for was for her parents to get along even if its for just that day lang. Un na ung pinakamagandang birthdaygift na matatangap nya but no, they just had to get divorced.
Syempre wala namang ibang magawa si Bey kundi magpakalayo para makapagisip at mapag isa, so pumunta siya sa isang madilim na esknita, sa isang sulok ng sa tingin niyay siya ay nagiisa sya nagsimula na siyang umiyak at magisip.
Akala ni Bey magisa siya. Ang hindi niya alam ay binabantayan siya ni Kev mula sa taas ng isang building sa kanang bahagi ng eskinitang iyon.
