Treacherous Heart

Chapter 1

That song

I lost track of days since that day. I'm still that lifeless being. I'm still in the process of recovering from that tragedy. Ginawa ko na lahat to make myself busy but I always end up crying.

“Aice, kumain ka na" Tumango saka kumain. Every food that I ate was tasteless. Para akong robot naka-program to make Aice live. Doing her thing without feeling anything .

“Good morning!" I was stunned seeing my aunt walking inside our house even aunt May was shock. We both know that aunt Liza hates mom. I don't have any idea what she was doing here not until her baggages followed and her two daughters came in.

“Liza! Anong ginagawa nyo rito?" Aunt May asked ngunit tinaasan lamang ito ng kilay saka umupo. She smiled at me and that's bring me creepy feeling.

“Ako na ang mag-aalaga kay Aice kaya pwede ka ng umalis May" Naningkit naman ang mata nito sa narinig. Aunt May was already here since I was born. How could she say that.

“Hindi po siya aalis" Sagot ko na mukhang hindi niya nagustuhan. Sino ba nagsabi sakanila na kailangan ko ng pangangalaga nila.

“Oh c'mon dear cousin. We can take good care of you naman. Hindi mo na kailangan ng nanny, your are now a grown woman why bother having a nanny pa?" I bit my tongue to stop me from saying any words. Unbelievable.

“Ate, si ate May mas may alam sa bahay na ito at hindi naman atin ang bahay na to. We don't have rights here!" Sagot naman ni Aria, I smiled at her and she nod back to me.

“Pwede ba ha Aria! Tigiltigilan mo nga ako!" Walang sabing tumayo si auntie Liza saka nag-ikot ikot. Leria followed her mom and Aria was left with me and aunt May.

“I'm sorry for what my mom has said. She really wants to live here" Panimula ni Aria saka pailing-iling sa naisip ng ina nito.

“Mabuti pa Aria ay kumain ka na muna" Aunt May was fond with Aria. I still remember that we used to play here hide and seek.

After that day, sa bahay na nga sila tuluyang nanirahan. Aria and I were classmates kaya lagi kaming nagsasabay sa pag-alis at uwi. She's like my best friend.

I was busy reading my notes when I heard someone plays a guitar. At first, I want him to stop from playing but then after I saw his face a familiar scene cross my mind.

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try

I was astonished once again by his voice. His hair was curly giving him a cute face plus his dimple. His eyebrows trimmed very well, his nose were perfectly pointed. Maybe God really take His time creating this beautiful being.

Baby, you don't have to worry
'Cause there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
When they're closing all their doors
They don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway

Girl, I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life

Some girls were listening at kinukunan pa siya ng litrato. Some dudes just singing with him. I bit my lip and withdraw my stare.

Pag-uwi ay sumalubong saakin ang sigawan. I was tired of everything and I don't know why I'm still here. I saw my aunt holding Aria's face saka nito sinampal I rushed and help Aria to stand up and hid her.

“Aba nga naman! Pwede ba ha Aice wag kang mangialam rito! " Handa niya ng hilain muli si Aria ng pigilan ko ito.

“I don't tolerate this kind of behavior inside my house!" With all the courage I said it right infront of my aunt.

“Unbelievable!" Walang sabi itong umalis at pumanhik sakanyang silid.

“You okay?" I asked, tumango ito sakin and gave me a weak smile. How could she do that to her own daughter?

“Sanay na ako don"As she say those words, tear scape from her eyes. “Pero masakit pa rin" She continued. I gave her embrace and without my knowing I silently hummed the song I heard earlier .
