Chapter 1: Pain

***

One of our yaya came to my room and telling me that mama call me, hindi na sana ako pupunta dahil nagsusulat ako ng journal ko kaso alam kong masasaktan na naman ako pag hindi siya sinusundan agad. But even I go I still got hurt.

When I arrive at the library room-- which is dito ako pinapunta. Pumasok ako ng walang katok, kasi alam ko namang papasukan lang din naman ako. I saw her beside the shelf, nakaupo siya at may librong hawak, katabi niya si Pellia na nakatayo at nakatingin sakin ng masama, mukhang kanina paako hinhintay ne'to. Binaba ni Mama ang librong binasa niya at tumayo nag lakad papunta sakin. Her stare is like boiling in fire.

And I know I will be receiving a slap...again. Only my heart will receive pain. Not my body.

I was about to speak up and ask what is happening but I just recieved a loud slap from her. As expected. Sa lakas ng sampal niya ay napaupo ako at napa hawak sa pisngi dahil sa sakit. Nag echo pa nga ang library room dahil sa lakas.

"Polly! What the hell did you do to your sister?" gigil niyang sabi at nang aapoy ang mata niyang tumingin sakin.

Pilit kong kinalma ang sarili ko na hindi maiyak. Humugot ako ng malalim para hindi ako mapiyok. "I didn't know what are you talking about, Mama."

"Oh really?" mataray na sabi ni Pellia. Gusto ko siyang sampalin dahil gumawa naman siya ng storya na mapaniwala si Mama. A queen of story maker it is.

My sister is the reason behind every bruise in my body.

Palagi nalang ganito. Nakakasawa, walang araw na hindi ako masaktan. Mas masakit pa yung puso ko kaysa mga sampal na natanggap ko.

Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan ay bakit biglang nagkaganyan si Mommy e hindi naman siya ganyan dati nung nandyan pa si Daddy. She always treats me nice and Pellia too. Pero ngayon iba na. E magkakapatid lang naman kami pareho ni Pellia pero bakit iba ang itrato niya sakin, kay Pellia halos parang siya na nga ang reyna dito dahil lahat na ng maid ay sundan ang gusto niya at palaging nagpapahatid ng pagkain sa kwarto niya. At kapag naman walang mga maid dahil day off, they make me a servant. They treat me like a pig. Papakainin sa mga sobra nilang pagkain.

At pag hindi nagmamadali sa utos nila ay sasaktan nila ako na parang aso.

"Then why your sister told me that you hit her arm the reason why she fell on the staircase?! Look at her arm! It has a bruise!" tinuro niya sakin ang arm ni Pellia na may pasa na nga. Pero i know it's not real bruise, it's obviously just a makeup. And why the hell mom would believe it?

I look at Pellia who is now faking up crying. Diyan ka magaling. When our eyes met, she smirk at me and that makes my body shaking in anger. This bitch is a hella immature...kailan pa kaya ito maging mature?

Sana malaman ko ang rason niyo kong bakit kayo nag ka ganito dahil ang sakit na.

Gaya din kay mommy ay nagbago nadin si Pellia nung namatay si dad. Ewan ko sakanila kung anong nakain nila at nag bago sila bigla. Palagi nalang niya akong inaaway kaya makatanggap akong mga sampal at gaya din ngayon gumawa nanaman siya ng kuwento and as usual mom believe her. I just can't believe my own sister just hurt me physically, not just that, she hurt me emotionally too. My own sister betrayed me that I trusted in my life, she is the only friend I have and a sibling but she's the one who broke me and betrayed.

Now that i can see that not every person you just met or even you know her/him for a long time is you could trust easily because I or we don't know if that person can really be trusted. Maaaring sa huli ay ma betrayed ka lang.

"Why would I do that Mama? And you know that I can't do such a thing! Yes I saw her in the staircase while paakyat naako pero siya yung nanakit saakin! She hit me in my arm Mom! But I just Ignore it and continue walking but here she is making up stories and faking bruises...And I am not an immature mag isip." I said eagerly while looking at Pellia. Now who's angry?
