THE VILLAIN'S CURSE

vii. Accident

KAIRO

After meeting up with Eumi I kinda felt something. I don't really know what it is. I can't describe it, maybe I'm just comfortable around her. Or maybe it's the wall that I've been building up. The wall was slowly breaking up.

No Kairo! You can't just let that wall be broken because you felt something you can't explain. I can't let my emotions took control right now. I don't wanted to waste everything I've done.

Right at this moment, I found myself in my secret room where all my paintings were placed. Hawak ang paintbrush ko I started painting what's bothering me. Her. This is my first time using Eumi's gift,her acrylic paint. The sound of my paintbrush was the only noise dominantly can be heard inside this room together with my breathing. What a lonely place I thought. I am already fond of it. Maybe mas mabuti narin na ganito kaysa magkunwari and let my emotions took over.

Minsan nasasanay nalang tayo na mag isa. Di dahil ginusto natin but because that was what our fate is. Deceptive fate.

I finished it. I finished my painting. And for that moment I admired it. The colors. Everything seems real. What a beauty. As I looked intently in my painting I can't help but smiled bitterly.

"If only I have a normal life. I can expressed what I felt for a long time." I said in a whisper and a continuos tears dropped from my eyes. I am also a human and I can feel pain like normal people too . The only difference is,there's a monster inside me. The monster that were. being awakened. A cursed that had been there for a long time.

Mom. Dad. I will get the justice you've deserve. I promise it.

If those people that I've killed we're only the minions and being told to killed my parents. I wonder who was the person behind all of this. My suspicions got bigger and bigger since I found out how closely related my dad to Mayor Sanchez. Bata pa kasi ako noon tanging yung mga taong pumasok sa bahay at pumatay sa parents ko ang natatandaan ko. I don't really wanted to allegedly accused him. But his the only one who had a grudge sa papa ko. Minsan narinig ko noon si papa na ayaw daw ni Mr. Sanchez sa mga proyekto na gustong ipatayo ni papa. My dad was once a mayor too but when he was killed Mayor Sanchez took over and reign what my father's doesn't finished.

But no. Even though may away sila ni papa noon I can't just accused Mr. Sanchez. He was the only person who helped me to put a good and respectable ceremony to my parents grave. How can he do such cruel things. Hindi namn siguro niya magagawa yun. Pero hindi parin dapat ako magpakapanatag as what they say money can turn an innocent lamb into a wild wolf just to get the leverage they've wanted. Sana lang talaga na wala siyang kinalaman sa lahat. Because if his one behind of my parents demise,I will not stop until my parent get the justice they've deserve.

*Ting-ting-tinggggg*

Agad agad kung kinuha ang phone ko sa bulsa at sinagot ang tawag ng isang taong makakasagot ng mga katanungang matagal ko ng gustong malaman.

"Hello tito?" Simula ko sa tawag.

"Kairo iho may ginagawa kaba?" Sabi ni tito David ang papa ni Eumi.

"Wala naman po tito."Sagot ko dito.

"Pwede ba tayong magkita?"Tanong nito sakin.
"It's been a long time since nagkausap tayo iho. Nandito ako ngayon sa bahay. We can talk here. May duty Kasi si Eumi at ako lang mag-isa. Maybe this is the best time to have a chit chat." Aniya ni tito David.

"Sure po tito.Actually po may gusto din po akong itanong sa inyo."Sabi ko ".Papunta napo ako ngayon

"See you later then iho." Huling sabi ni tito bago nito ibaba ang phone niya.
