CHAPTER 6
"Mom? Dad?"
All of a sudden I was eight years old again.
Masisisi nyo ba ako kung malalaman mo na yung buhay mo pala ay isang malaking kasinungalingan..
Yung buhay mo pala.. Hindi mo totoong buhay.
That your parents only wanted to have you the life they wish they had for their child that they never had.
Masisisi nyo ba ako kung malalaman kong adopted pala ako at hindi nila tunay na anak?
All my life, I thought I was the most precious thing that ever happened to them.
Pero all of it ended when my mother found out that she's 3 weeks pregnant.. And suddenly.. I was invisible to them.
They're having the child they're wishing for eversince--only God knows how long.
At young age--I learned to loathe them.
At young age.. Natuto akong alagaan ung sarili ko. Ang tumayo sa sarili kong kakayahan.
"Sheantal, honey. We missed you." I stiffened when my mother leaned and hug me.
Warm hug yet untrue.
"Ma, anong ginagawa nyo dito sa condo ko?" Cold kong tanong sa mama ko.
"Binibisita ka lang namin ng papa mo, Shean. It's been what? 5 years simula nung huli ka naming nakita."
"Don't me that shit, ma." Nag-roll eyes ako at umiba ng tingin.
"Watch your words, young lady. And for goodness sake.. Is that how you dress yourself? Why are you wearing a boy's shirt?"
