THE FRATERNITY SERIES 01: Hugh Augustus Sandejas

Chapter 1

"What are trying to do, Astoria?? " agad akong napalingon sa pintuan ng aking silid. And there I saw my cousin, Jasen Avena, standing in disbelief.

"I am tired, Jasen! For pate sake let me escape this palace for once! " inis kong sagot.

Dali dali kong isinara ang aking maleta at ibinaba ito sa kama.

"What the heck?! Tiyo will never like this idea of yours! Gumagawa ka lamang ng paraan para mapagalitan ka, Astoria! " inis na sagot niya at hunarang sa pintuan.

"Hah! I am old enough, Jasen!" Inis kong sagot.

"And what? Gagawa ka ng gulo sa pamilyang ito?! "

I laughed in disbelief.

"Seriously? Pamilya ba kamo? I have never been part of this family! They never treated me as one. So, shut the hell up and just let me go dahil pagod na ako... Pagod na akong mag makaawang pansinin naman nila ako na ituring akong isa sa pamilya natin, Jasen. "

Napaiwas ito ng tingin.

"Thank you for being there for me when no one's there for me. But this time... Let me breathe 'cause I am now sofocated in this kind of treatment. " naiiyak kong ani.

"Fine! I'll help you run away. Just... Just don't let them know where you are after this. Build your self and come back, and take back what's yours, take back your crown, Astoria, promise me. " seryosong sagot nito.

I smile at her.

"I promise. "

✳✴✳✳✳✳✳✳

It's been a year since I left my home country. After that ay wala na akong balita kay Jasen. They're looking for me all over the world that's why I choose to stay here in the Philippines.

Dito walang ni isang nakakakilala sa 'kin. Ngayon ko masasabing mas gusto ko na lamang na ipinanganak akong normal na mamayan kesa ipinanganak akong may dugong royal.

I feel so sofocated. I am their daughter, I am part of the family but I feel like I'm not belong. I am lonely, I wasn't happy being part of a royal.

Only Jasen made me feel that I have one on my side.

I am happy for that but I need to breathe, like gusto ko munang maka layo-layo sa lahat, sa kanila.

"FUCK! " agad akong napa atras ng may mabangga akong tao Habang nag lalakad.

"Hala! Pasensya na po! " paumanhin ko sabay punas sa puti nitong polo dahil na tapunan ito ng milktea ko.

"Don't touch me! " sabay tampal ng kamay ko palayo sa kaniya.

Gulat akong napatingin sa kaniya.

"Rude! " inis kong ani saka nag martya paalis.

"FUCK WOMAN COME BACK HERE! " Agad akong napahinto at nilingon siya.

He's handsome face is like a mad monster now. This is not good.

"What? I already said sorry at pinunasan na ang damit mo pero tinampal mo naman! Ano'ng kailangan mo ngayon?! " inis kong tanong.

Napatagis bagang ito saka lumapit sa 'kin.

"Where is your house? You need to wash my clothes! " inis na tanong nito sa 'kin.
