"You freaking failed?! Nagsasayang lang kami ng pera sayo, we only asked you to study! Freaking study! Mahirap ba 'yun ah?!". My knees were trembling because of the continues whip.


I got 3 mistakes in our exam and he saw it, now, I am paying for it. Whip followed by another whip, walang katapusang hampas. Hindi ko na maramdaman ang katawan ko sa lakas ng puwersa nun, I spit blood because of the continues punch ad whips from him.


I keep on praying that my brother is not on his way back home, I can suffer alone. Ayoko ng madamay pa siya ulit, "You are a failure! Simpleng bagay hindi mo maperpekto! Ha?! Nagsasayang lang ako sayo!".


His screams were ringing on my ears, nakakapagod. Nakakapagod maging sarili ko, nakakapagod gumawa ng mga bagay para lang sa ikasasaya nila, I just want to vanish.


I was so terrified when I saw the golf club in his hand, "D--dad, please not that one. I—I promise not to do it again, I will perfect every quiz. Just not that--". He did not let me finish and he beaten me with it.


No, I won't cry. Real men don't cry, ayaw kong ipakita sa kaniyang nasasaktan ako. He will only feel satisfied, ayaw ko.


I am constantly chanting on my head 'Please, don't come home, kuya', hindi ko kakayaning masaktan siya ulit ng dahil sa akin. 


He was already beaten up by dad because of me last day, I don't want him to suffer for me again.


"B--beat me, p—punch me until I am out of blood. Finish me... Finish my suffering". I murmured under my breath, napapagod na ako. I feel my eyelids closing but I force it not to, don't sleep.


I can only hear the meeting of my flesh and his golf club, I am tired, I am drained. Can someone get me out of here?


Napalingon ako sa gawi ng pintuan nang makarinig ako ng nahulog, no, please, no! My prayers weren't heard again, my brother is now standing on the door way.


I look at him pleading, don't come any closer, kuya. Don't come any closer, please.


My heart is clenching not because of the pain I am feeling but because of my brother's tears, kuya huwag kang lalapit, please. I shook my head as a signal to not come any closer.


"D--dad! Please, stop it!". Napapikit na lamang ako ng mariin, he shouted and that stopped my dad. I couldn't feel my body anymore, the side of my lips were bleeding but I couldn't care less.


Tumalim ang tingin ni dad kay kuya kaya bago siya makalapit dito ay hinatak ko ang kaniyang paa upang pigilan siya, I have no more energy left but I tried.


"Let. Me. Go!". I heard him shout while kicking me trying to freed himself but I did not let him.


 "End me, please, dad. Huwag na si kuya Hiro, end my sufferings. Ayaw ko na, dad!". I shouted on the top of my lungs.
