Through Unparalleled Seals

086

marahan akong pumasok sa aming bahay, i tried to weigh if someone is inside or not.

i saw Samuel's mom sitting in the living room with tears in her eyes. nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang makita ako at marahas na tumayo, i backed off seeing her aura na para bang handa akong sunggaban.

halos mapadaing ako ng marahas niyang hilaan ang aking braso, my books fell off on the floor and my eye watered.

"T-tita nasasaktan po ako." marahas kong gustong alisin ang pagkakahawak niya ngunit mas lalo lang iyong dumiin.

"Kasalanan Mo to e, Nag iinarte ka pa kasi tungkol sa Boyfriend mo! bakit ba hindi ka makapag move on d'yan huh? Nang dahil sa'yo naglayas ang kapatid mo! Oh my god, your sibling is just seven years old at dinadamay po pa sa kaartehan mo! pati ang therapy na 'yan, i told your father that it 's not needed, kung sa negosyo nalang inilaan ang pinambayad d'yan!" her shouts lingered on my skin. i can't afford to cry, my brother is still missing and papa is still out there trying to find samuel.

imbes na makipag sagutan ay tiniis ko ang marahas niyang pagkakapit, tthe next thing i know she's alredy sitting on the floor and her cries are louder than my heartbeat.

I joined her on the floor, my chest aching when she tried to slap my hand away but that didn't stop me from touching her. I'm shaking while I tried to suppress my sobs.

"I-i'm sorry po... tita, hindi ko naman po ginusto ang mga nangyari, i was in pain too and i'm sorry if you feel like papa is waisting his money at me. anak rin ho niya ako, at nagpapasalamat ako na naging tatay ko siya. my papa is not by my side for a long time, and sometime i blame myself for that, at pasensya na po kung hindi ko kayang bitiwan si rick. the person you were insulting helped me forgive myself and my father...sana matutunan ninyo akong mapatawad, tita. you're important for my father and samuel and i value them so much." marahan kong pinunasan ang luhang tumakas sa aking mga mata.

i didnt wait for her response and left her their on her position and ran outside to find a cab and look for samuel, kahit na sabihin ni papa na dapat ay hindi na ako lumabas ay ginawa ko parin.

i'm holding ricks phone instead of mine, parang doon nalang ako kukukuha ng lakas ng loob para makapaglakad.

hindi ko matawagan ang cellphone ni papa at hindi ko na alam kung sino ang tutulong saakin.

I did what I think would ease up my emotions,Ii messaged rick's line multiple times again and again.
