Kid

“Prenez soin de vous, jeune femme.” Sabay-sabay na bati ng mga nag hatid sa'kin papunta rito sa airport na sinuklian ko lang ng tango.

“Take care, Alpheus.” Malumanay na sabi ni grandmere habang nakangiti sa'kin.

Alpheus, huh?

“I will, ma'am.” Magalang na sabi ko bago kinuha ang kanang kamay niya at hinalikan ito.

Pakatapos ay agad akong naglakad papunta sa private plane na sasakyan ko pabalik ng pilipinas dahil first day of school ngayon. Nag pasya akong matulog nalang dahil thirteen hours and fifty minutes ang byahe at paniguradong alas sais ng umaga na ako dadating sa pilipinas.

Pagpasok ko sa pribadong kwarto sa loob nitong eroplano ay agad akong sumalampak ng higa sa kama at pumikit hanggang sa nilamon ako ng antok.

I look around the place and realized that I'm in the living room of my grandparent's mansion in my father's side, I can hear the sound of heavy rains outside.

In short, I'm in hell...

I saw a kid, a seven year old kid to be exact. She's crying but her eyes looks cold and lifeless while she's holding a gun on her right hand and a knife on her left hand.

It was the eight year old me.

She's surrounded by a two old man, the first one looks like he's in his 60's and the second one looks like he's in near 30's.

My father and his father.

There's also a woman who looks exactly like the eight year old kid. The woman's clothes is ripped off and her hair is messed up, beside her is a two guy who has a scary smirk that's plastered in their faces.

The lady is my mom and the two guy is the one who raped her. They're taking advantage of her, taking turns to pleasure themselves using my mom's body.

“Alpheus, kill them.” Nakangising utos ng matanda.

“Rius, don't. Remember what I said, baby? Don't taint your mind and your body with evilness..” Nanginginig na sabi ng babaeng wala sa ayos ang suot na damit at punit-punit pa na animo'y nagmistila na itong basahan.

She looked like she was already so fucking worn out and exhausted. It looked like she already on the verge of giving up until she saw me. My mother who's warm, kind, beautiful, and loving... She looked like someone that I never knew.

“Ah, it was the night that my hands were tainted by blood.” I said mentally. I can feel the tears streaming down my face endlessly.

The four man is laughing like a psychopath while looking at the woman who's crying and trembling in fear.

“Rius, no.” Umiiling na sabi ng babae habang nakatingin sa batang Anari na walang buhay ang mata at nakangisi.

Abala sa pagtawa ang mga lalaki kaya hindi nila nakita kung paano ibinato ng batang Anari ang kutsilyo sa direksyon ng isang lalaki na agad tumarak sa noo ng isa sa gumahasa sa nanay niya kaya bumulagta ito. Kasabay ng paglingon ng tatlong natirang lalaki ay ang tatlong putok ng baril na naging dahilan ng pagbagsak ng tatlo sa sahig habang umaagos ang dugo galing sa gitna ng noo ng mga ito.
