HONOR

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to go back there, mom? You know that I hate that Henry."

[Honor! It's your father that you're talking about! How could you address him as Henry?]

"Better than call him an asshole. Why mom? Do you want me to call him a jerk? A douchebag? A useless thing instead of his name, huh?"

[Honor! Stop it! Wala ka na ba talagang galang sa ama mo? Siya ang may dahilan kung bakit ka nandirito ngayon sa mundo! Wala ka bang utang na loob sa kaniya?]

"Don't worry, I already paid my debt to him by letting him live peacefully with his bitch. Don't ask for more. Can't you see mom? You're acting so desperate in building our family together again. Kahit magsama-sama ulit tayo sa iisang bubong, hindi na mababalik ang dating sigla ng pamilya natin so give it up already. I'm sick of your whines!"

Napalakas ang sigaw ko kaya natahimik naman siya sa kabilang linya. Seconds later, I start hearing her sobs that made me even more frustrated as it is. Ugh! Why does my mom so naive and martyr? Tch.

"Stop crying mom because I will not take back what I already have said. Even if you cry a hundred times a day, you can't erase the facts that I have said to you. Accept the truth that the bastard who used to love you has now someone new to love. If you want, just find another man to love. Para saan pa ang pitong bilyong tao sa mundo kung magpapakabaliw ka lang sa iisang tao na hindi man lang nagawang magbigay ng panyo noong umiiyak ka? Mas lalo mo lang sinasaktan ang sarili mo, mom."

[Why are you so mean to me, Honor?]

"No, I'm not. I'm just telling you the truth and accept it or not, the truth really sucks. Bear with it."

[Fine. I will not force you to have a chat with your father but can you atleast visit him here in our home?]

"What? Why is he there? What does he want? Money?" 

[Uh, no. He moved back here.]

"Seriously? Why would he do that? Ang kapal naman ng mukha niya para bumalik pa sa pamamahay natin. Bakit? Pinagpalit din ba siya kaagad ng babae niya sa iba pang mas mayamang lalaki? Aww, tell him that I'll much appreciate it if he cries his blood out of his eyes."

[Hindi siya ang may gustong bumalik dito.]

"Then who? Don't tell me 'yung kabit niya ang nagsabi dahil kung oo, hindi ako magdadalawang isip na pumunta riyan ngayon kahit may pasok ako."

[No, don't blame her. Ako ang nakiusap sa kaniya na kahit dito na siya tumira kasama si Tania.]

"What the fuck, mom?! Why the hell would you do that?! Send them away right now! Ayokong nagpapatira ka ng mga hayop sa bahay natin. Kailan pa naging barn ang bahay natin? Paalisin mo sila o ako ang magpapaalis sa kanila."

[I can't do that. Tania is pregnant. It's dangerous to the baby if they keep travelling from one place to another.]

"You know what, mom? I'm done. Just do whatever you want but in return, stop calling me if you will just talk about those two."

[Honor, don't be like that. It's your father's child. Please be merciful to the innocent unborn baby.]

"Exactly! He has a baby, not with you, his wife but a baby with another woman he met somewhere that I don't even know. Why would I fell sympathy for that unborn child when he didn't even think about his own children? How about Heaven? She's just 8 yet she experienced losing someone she loves dearly. It makes me more furious!"

[Honor, please, for me, let it slide for now.]

"Stop it mom. I won't hear any of your words. I'll hang up now. I'll just call you when I feel like to. Take care and oh, I am the one who'll pick Heaven up from her school. I won't send her home until those demons are gone. I don't want Heaven to have hopes about bringing our family back together because that won't happen anymore. If she wants a father, I can be one so you don't have to worry anything about her from now on. Goodbye."
