Treacherous Heart

Chapter 13

Sin

Trigger Warning: Strong words.

Araw ng graduation nila Kali kaya pinili kong bumalik ng eskwelahan para makita syang umakyat sa entablado. I was preparing my dress and all when I heard shouting just outside my room.

Paglabas ay nadatanan kong nag-aaway si Aria at ate Leria, pumapagitna na rin ai Auntie May ngunit parang wala silang balak huminto sa sigawan until she pushes Aria.

“Kasalanan mo lahat! Bakit ka pa pinanganak!" She was yelling pero hindi ko matanggap ang duruin niya ito. I rushed towards Aria and she was crying.

“Kasalanan ko? Tangina hindi ko kasalanang malandi ang nanay mo! " She was about to slap her pero nauna kong hawakan ang braso nito.

“Don't even try" I said. Tumawa lang ito na para bang nahihibang.

“Tama yan, magkampihan kayo" Then she leave just like that.

I was about to talk to her pero nauna itong pumasok sakanyang silid even Aunt May didn't say a word.

Umalis ako ng bahay ng may bigat sa dibdib we planned to attend the graduations. Pero heto ako ngayon nag-iisang nakaupo sa mga bleachers habang hinihintay si Melody, hindi din kasi sure kung makakapunta ba sya.

Me
: Nasa gymnasium na ako, good luck<3

I chatted Kali para malaman niyang andito ako, I was very excited for him. Magka-college na sya sa susunod na pasukan. He already told me his plan. Gusto niyang kukunin ang kursong med tech, kaso namamahalan sya.

Kali Alexandre Llamerez
: Nasa labas ako, puntahan kita?

Me
: Wag na, kita nalang tayo maya.

Kali Alexandre Llamerez
: You sure? Wanna see you na T_T

I bit my tongue just to stop myself from screaming. He always finds his way to make me smile without his knowing.

Me
: Lalabas ba ako? Where are you ? Puntahan kita

Kali Alexandre Llamerez
: Dang! Hihintayin kita dito sa may entrance:)

Me
: Coming!

Dali dali akong bumaba at tinungo ang entrance, halos andun na rin lahat ng graduating students. Agad na hinanap ng mga mata ko ang lalaking may curly na buhok na mukhang broccoli.

Halos nahirapan din ako mahanap sya pareho pareho naman sila ng mga suot. Hanggang sa makita ko syang kumaway, I don't know but that time, it was slow as if the world takes its time. He walks very slow and I could hear my heartbeats pounding.

“Sara ang bibig" I was back at the reality na kusa niyang sinara ang bibig ko. Natawa naman ito.

“Grabe naman yang paghanga mo sakin, unbelievable." Akma ko na syang sasapakin na may dumating na babae. She was smaller than me, and she wear a smile just like him. She also has a single dimple on her right cheek.

“Kuya! Hindi ako late ha!" 

“Ah Aice, kapatid ko. Karina Alexandra Llamerez " She proudly introduced her like a proud father. Sumunod naman sila Jace sa pwesto namin para tawagin si Kali. Magsisimula na ang ceremony.

“Maiiwan ko muna kapatid ko sayo ha. Ikaw, wag kang pasaway" He kissed her forehead then look at me.

“Next time na kiss mo ha" Ramdam ko ang pag-iinit ng mukha ko, damn him.

I was so shy to talk to her lalo na ang huling sinabi sakin ni, Kali, how could he say that in front of his sister?

“Ate, lika na magsisimula na ang ceremony" Pag-anyaya nito kaya tumango nalang ako. She was grinning.

“Girlfriend ka ba ni kuya?" Pagtanong nito nang makaupo kami. Hinihintay ko pa rin si Melody.

“Naku hindi, kaibigan lang. Nga pala asan ang parents niyo? Hindi ba sila makakapunta?" Mahinahong pagtatanong ko. She smiled sadly at smiling.

“Iniwan kami ng daddy at sumakabilang bahay na, and my mom couldn't take it all ayun nagsuicide"

“Sorry, masyado akong matanong ha" I regret for asking that question. Ngumiti lang ito saakin. She was so angelic and her eyes were innocent.

“Kaya pasan ni kuya ang lahat. Sya na rin ang nagtatatrabaho nung nawala na si mama. Inwas beyond grateful for having kuya like him dahil lahat nabibiyaan ng kuya na tulad niya"

I couldn't help but admire him, I can see his love for his younger sister. Natapos ang graduation ceremony at agad namin silang sinalubong, they're all wearing medals. I was proud of him, to them.

I gave them some gifts and congratulated them. Nagyaya naman si Jace na magcelebrate muna bago umuwi. Halos hawak kamay ni Karina at nagkwekwentuhan habang hinihintay ang apat dahil mayron pa sila class pictures.

My phone vibrated, Aunt May is calling.

“Hello, auntie May?"

‘Aice, uwi ka na. I need your help'

Agad akong nagpaalam kay Karina at hindi na hinintay ang apat at agad na naghanap ng taxi.

When I finally arive ay halos takbuhin ko ang bahay. Pagpasok ko ay nakita kong sapo ni auntie may ang ulo kaya nilapitan ko ngunit umiling lang at tinuro ang kwarto nila mama.

And there I saw Leria wearing my mom's necklace and dress ganon din si tita Liza. Para akong sasabog sa galit and Aria was there namumula ang mga pisngi nito.

“Tita! Anong pong ginagawa niyo dito? You are not supposed to be here! " Tumawa lang ito saakin na para bang nagbibiro lang ako.

“Ma! Pwede ba tigilan niyo na ang kahibangan niyo!"

“For once Aria, pwede bang itikom mo yang bibig mo!" Leria shouted back.

“Tita, please get out of my room! "

I was stunned when her palm landed on my cheeks she was angry. 

“Dahil sayo at sa nanay mo! Nagkandeletche letche ang buhay ko!" She was angry.

“Mga mang-aagaw!"

I was there, standing and waiting for another yell and slap. I just couldn't move. Hindi ko alam kung anong pinanghuhugatan nya sa galit niya.

“Ma, please stop.Please stop! " Aria hold her mom.

Saka pumasok si aunt May sa loob ng kwarto  at nilagay ako sa likod nya.

“Wag na wag mong sasaktan ang alaga ko! Tama nang sinira mo ang buhay magasawa ng magulang niya! And because of you, nawala sila kay Aice!"

I didn't understand what they are talking about. I was like a puzzle and I could not find the right pieces. Yumuko naman si Aria na para bang nahihiya.

“Oo na! Kasalanan ko na lahat!Yun naman ang gusto niyong ipunto hindi ba? Nang dahil saakin!" Aria runs away and I followed her.

“Aria!"

“Aria!"

“Aice, I'm sorry. Its my fault after all, isa akong malaking kasalanan" She broke down and kneel. All I can do was hug her and cry with her.

“Kasalanan ako" Paulit ulit nito habanh kinukurot ang puso ko sakit sa mga naririnig ko.

“Kapatid kita" I could not move na para akong nabingi sa narinig at namamanhid. I was just there sitting right beside her and feeling numb.

“I'm a sin"
