LIFE has never been on my side. It's as if I was meant to live a fucked up life. Na para bang planado na ang lahat, na pagkatapos kong isilang ay babatuhin na ako nang iba't-ibang pagsubok sa buhay.
Sa murang edad ko, my Dad got into a bad car accident. It feels like I also lost him that moment because, he lose the ability to speak, to communicate, and to show his emotions all at once.
He forgot how to take care of me, to look after us; his son and wife.
And eventually, he caused the de@th of my Mom because of his condition.
That's also when Grand Mom enter the picture like a lightning struck. She took me with her. She loved me, I felt it. Pero masyado siyang istrikta, to the point na minsan ay napagbubuhatan niya ako ng mga kamay.
When I say na pinagbubuhatan, I mean it. I got wounds, I bled, and got scars from those.
All while mourning, all while thinking of my Dad who's currently admitted to a facility during that time.
Nagbago lang ang lahat muli nang dumating at nakilala ko si Uncle. Unang kita ko sakaniya, hindi ako agad nagtiwala kasi mukha siyang sanggano.
Pero nang makilala ko siya ay mabait naman pala siya at cool na tao. Kaya nang inaya niya ako na itatakas, sumama na ako.
Hindi kami nahanap ni Grand Mom. Malayo kasi ang bahay ni Uncle at tago, ex-convict siya kaya nagtatago na para malayo sa gulo. Lie low era niya raw iyon.
Doon na ako lumaki. Natuto ng mga bagay-bagay at sa unang pagkakataon...nagkaroon ako nang kalayaan na matagal ipinagdamot sa akin.
Inalagaan ako ni Uncle nang mabuti, minsan wala kaming ulam pero dinidiskartehan ni Uncle. Hindi niya hinayaan na ako ang mamroblema sa pagkain at mga gagamitin ko.
Lahat ay siya ang nag-provide. Finally, with him I felt it again...the feeling of being taken care of. Bagay na matagal kong hindi naranasan mula sa mga sariling magulang.
Kaso, naging gago ako at rebelde nang lumaki. Natuto ako manligaw, niligawan ko ang halos buong populasyon ng mga kababaihan sa school namin.
Wala akong pinipili pati ang mga estudyanteng dukdok sa pag-aaral ay nagawa kong paiyakin. Hindi isang bagay na dapat kong ipinagyayabang, sa totoo lang.
I was immature. A fool. A boy who grew up not having enough attention and love.
That's why I mess around a lot.
Kaso dumating ang L'ombre sa buhay ko. Dumating sila Gab. Dumating siya, si Ilog na walang malay.
Isang babae na matapang at mahusay, matalino, maganda, mahal na mahal ko. Binago niya ang lahat, pati ang kung paano kong makita ang mundo, nag-iba.
Sobrang nabihag ako ni River. Para akong aso na naging sunud-sunuran niya. Alipin ako ng mga pagtawa niya at maliliit na ngiti. I got addicted to her.
For me, River is a salvation dressed in black shirt, combat boots, hacking devices, and so much intelligence.
A very dangerous drug to my brain that I'm willing to take.
I'd never thought that I'll ever have her as my friend. Pero, putangina. Daig ko pa ang nanalo sa lotto nang makuha ko ang matamis niyang "Oo".
It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Si River ang pinakamagandang bagay na nangyari sa akin.
I bawled my eyes out when I first kissed her. Naghalo ang luha ko sa lasa ng labi niya, pero tandang-tanda ko kung gaano siya kainit, kalambot...kaganda. She's so perfect that I promised to myself that time.
I'll trade everything for this girl.
I'm willing to bet everything. I'll win her, I'll win us...but I end up failing.
Pakiramdam ko ay nawasak ang kastilyong binubuo ko para sakaniya. Dahil sa sarili kong kagaguhan, I lost her.
I lost myself, too.
I stopped my bad habits long time ago but, my biggest relapse happened after her.
I'm a fool, indeed.
Marahas kong pinalis ang luha sa aking mga mata. I cleared my throat. Ilang beses akong suminghot dahil nagbara na ang aking ilong sa sobrang pag-iyak.
It has been fucked up since day one. And now, this...
"He really is—buhay siya, paanong..." hindi ko halos matapos ang nais na sabihin dahil sa sobrang pagka-mangha.
I did my own investigation before the results even came out. Sigurado akong hindi siya ang hinahanap ko. Sigurado ako na hindi ang taong ito ang siyang nasa isip ko.
I was so sure...
Pero ngayong nasa harap ko na ang resulta ay para akong binuhusan nang malamig na tubig.
The first thing that came to my mind is to get him.
Ngunit hindi ko iyon gagawin nang hindi ako nagpaplano. Sa ngayon, pinili kong sarilinin muna ang lahat.
Busy ang lahat sa HQ at sa kaniya-kaniyang mga trabaho. I will take care of my personal matters on my own.
I may have so many wrong doings from the past, but I'll try to make everything right, little by little.
Marami akong maling desisyon. I lost so many times. I gambled a lot and got left with nothing.
Ngayon, I found out that I still have someone out there.
I promise not to mess up this time.
I will do everything I could to get my Kuya...my only sibling.
Scout Montecillo.
Right now, he's the one I'll put on top of the list.
This time, I'll choose what game would be played. I'll win against life. Against fate, against past.
This life of mine could never laugh at me again for I will win.
