Iraia's POV
Hindi na ako nagpatuloy bumaba pa. Nawala na bigla ang gutom na nararamdaman ko.
Sakit nila sa mata, naghaharutan.
I just ate some snacks I often stock inside my room. At hindi na ako nag-abala pa bumaba o magpadala ng pagkain.
Nanood nalang ako ng movie sa Netflix para makatulog ulit.
Pakiramdam ko naguguilty ako sa ginagawa ko kay Yvaine. She is clearly doing everything to gain my trust. And I guess she is working hard to get it.
What if I just gave her a chance to prove herself? Wala namang mawawala kung pagkagiwalaan ko siya.
And I assume dad would be happy knowing that I trust Yvaine and we could get along.
Mabigat akong napabuntong hinanga bago magpagulong sa kama and stared at my ceiling.
Sometimes I would blame myself for I don't know what. Pakiramdam ko kasalanan ko kung bakit nawala si mama.
Pero why am I even blaming myself when I was just a kid back then. I barely understand her hatred towards me.
Kung alam ko lang na gusto niya ng anak na lalaki kagaya ni kuya Enzo, edi sana hindi ko nalang ipipilit na dumating ako sa mundong 'to bilang babae.
If there would be a time machine and a gender selecter, I would go back in time to change myself into a boy.
If it would be the only way to make my mother happy then I would do it. For her happiness, so that she wouldn't have to leave dad, so that she could love me like kuya Enzo, and to finally have a complete family.
And now Yvaine is here. Should I trust her? Maybe I should.
Besides wala namang mawawala kung susubukan ko.
Hindi nagtagal dinalaw ulit ako ng antok kaya nakatulog ako ng mahimbing.
Agad kong inayos ang sarili para pumasok. 2 days na akong hindi pumunta sa school, baka maka affect yun sa grades ko, mahirap na.
As I looked at the mirror infront of me checking myself. Nang makitang maayos naman, agad ko na kinuha ang bag ko at bumaba.
I saw Yvaine preparing the table for only three people. I roamed my eyes around to find Dad.
"Hinahanap mo ang daddy mo?" tanong ni Yvaine na nagpabaling ng aking ulo papunta sa kanya.
"Yeah. Where is he?"
"Umalis na. He went to the company early, may aayusin daw na papers para sa new investors." she informed me as I nodded.
"You're going to school right? Perfect, I made breakfast." aniya habang nakatingin sa akin at nakangiti.
I didn't protest and just sat on the table. Baka masira pa araw ko, edi nakakabad mood 'yun.
Pag bad mood nakakaaffect 'yan sa ganda, kawawa naman ako.
"Here, I made these. Hope you like it." she handed me a plate of sandwiches.
My eyes sparkled. It looked like the sandwiches she made yesterday.
I quickly grab the plate from her and her smile widened when I took a bite of her sandwiches.
Omg ang sarap!!
It tasted different from the sandwich she made yesterday but still it was delicious.
I didn't realize I already ate 5 of those until I started coughing. Yvaine stopped eating and looked at me when my couching started to get worst.
"Iraia?"
I held my chest tightly when I feel lacking out of breath. Para akong sinasakal. My body started trembling.
I can feel my chest getting heavier as my heart keeps pounding rapidly.
Unti-unting nahihirapan akong huminga hanggang sa nararamdaman ko ang pagsakit ng aking ulo. My vision started to spin kaya napapikit ako ng mariin.
Agad akong humablot ng isang sandwich at tinignan ang laman dahilan para lumaki ang mga mata ko.
Fuck... it has peanuts!
"Y-you g-gave me a p-peanut s-sandwhich?!" nahihirapang sigaw ko kay Yvaine.
"Yes. B-bakit?" she asked getting worried.
"F-fuck y-you bitch." mahinang bulong ko bago nawalan ng lakas dahilan para matumba ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa mesa.
"Iraia?!" she shouted in terror.
"What happened?.... Fuck Iraia!!" I heard their shouts and panic until everything went black.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling and the smell of alcohol. Clearly I am at the hospital.
Napa ayos ako ng tayo and I saw kuya Enzo seating beside me. When he noticed I move, he looked up and saw me.
"Iraia, are you okay?" he worriedly asked checking my body as I nodded.
I can still feel my head throbbing and my breath seems to be normal.
Bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa nun si Dad at Yvaine, nasa likod nila ang doctor.
"You! You almost killed me!!" malakas na sigaw ko habang nakaturo kay Yvaine.
"Dad! Kuya! She almost killed me! I knew it! I fucking knew it she is just like mom! She will hurt me!!" malakas na sigaw ko.
"Iraia calm down. She didn't do it on purpose. Hindi niya alam na allergic ka sa peanuts and I forgot to inform her. It was an accident." mahinahong sabi ni Dad.
"Everyone including the maids knew I am allergic to peanuts and we don't even allow it inside the house. Where the fuck did she got those and the maids who helped her make the breakfast didn't even noticed?!"
"How I am going to trust her when she almost killed me! If kuya wasn't there edi baka patay na ako dahil sa kagagawan ng babae mo!"
"Iraia! Watch your words young lady. Hindi niya nga sinasadya! Quit being dramatic, it was just a mere accident." nawawalang pasensya na aniya.
I scoffed in disbelief as I looked at dad.
Seriously? Mas naniniwala pa siya sa babae niya kaysa sa sariling anak?
"And how would you know?! We've never been there!" malakas na sigaw ko.
"Just like everytime mom would hurt me years ago." pahabol na bulong ko.
He looked taken back. I avoided his gaze and looked at Yvaine who was staring at me teared eyes.
What is she doing? Making me feel guilty and act as the victim?
"Pathetic bitch." mahinang bulong ko.
I looked at Dad with disappointment. He used to be the one who understands and fond with me the most. Since when did he changed? He is clearly being brain washed by Yvaine.
Yvaine stormed out of the room and dad followed her like a puppy. I rolled my eyes.
Napabuntong hininga ako bago humiga ulit. Mas sumasakit ulo ko sa nangyayari. The doctor talked with kuya Enzo outside the room about my condition.
I just didn't mind them and closed my eyes. I'm tired with all of these.
Did I just failed to trust Yvaine? I knew she could possibly hurt me but why does it seem too early?
Did I make a mistake trying to trust her?
