My Name Is Depression

Chapter 17

Warning: violence & rape

-

"Maya, tara na! Dali!" sigaw ni Rara habang hinihila ako.

I don't know why I'm outside of my house. As far as I know, I was inside my room, doing nothing but stare at the ceiling. The next thing I knew, Rara was already pulling me out of the house.

Hindi pa rin ako nakakarecover sa nangyari kahapon. I'm on the edge again but they suddenly came, barging inside my room.

"What- What's happening?" I asked in confusion. "Why kayo nandito, Rara?"

Napahawak sa chest nila si Deo at Emen habang lumalaki pa ang eyes. They look like they were offended by my question.

"Maya, this is not you!" they screamed in unison.

Mas lalo ako naconfuse dahil tumataas pa ang kamay nila na parang may pinaglalaban.

"Ha?" tanong ko.

"Ay, confirm! Sabog ka nga, sis!" sabi ni Deo.

"Trulala! Baka nagd-daydream pa si ate mo girl!" dugtong ni Emen.

"Baka iniisip na ang future nila ni Concon!" saad ni Rara.

"Ayiiieeeeh!!" asar ni Cass.

I heard the four of them chuckling while looking at me.

I blinked my eyes in confusion and faced Nico who, I know for a fact, will answer my question seriously.

He gently smiled at me before speaking, "Pinuntahan ka namin dito kasi gagala tayo."

"Oh! Is that so? Let's go na!"

I walk fast after pulling someone. I'm so shy na! Bakit ba kasi lumilipad ang brain ko?

"Hala, siya! Uy, ano 'yan, ha?"

I heard them giggling behind us while I was holding someone's wrist.

"Malaya, slow down. Walang humahabol sa atin."

I stopped from walking when I heard a different voice beside me. Hindi boses girl, pangboy ang tone!

Oh, my! This is not Rara?

Dahan-dahan ako tumingin sa left side ko. My eyes grew bigger when I confirmed that it was really not Rara! It's Nico, my crush!

Why am I holding him instead of Rara? Nagmamadali ba ako ng super kanina to the point that I didn't realize I pulled him?

I heard the four of them giggling again behind us. Agad kong inalis ang hawak ko kay Nico before mapakagat ng lips.

"Ako'y kinikilig, pag ika'y lumalapit, ako'y nanginginig!" kanta nila Rara.

I felt my cheeks burning kaya napahawak ako roon. Oh, no! I'm blushing in front of Nico!

"Stop na kasi!" saway ko sa kanila.

They didn't stop laughing until we reached our destination. I looked around and saw different drawings or designs posted on its wall. May mga guy or girls din sa loob na may hawak na small stick yata.

"Eto ang gagawin natin ngayon! Magpapahenna tayo, mga sismars!" sabi ni Deo.

I immediately smile after knowing that. This is one of my goals in life! I wanted to try this even before because I saw this on facebook, and it looks good.

"Yo, ano ang maipaglilingkod ko sa inyo?" May lumapit sa amin na guy. He has curly hair which was tied up. I don't know if it's a tattoo or hena but he has multiple designs in both of his arms. He looks good on it, especially his tan skin complements it.
