Pagdating ko sa kwarto, nandoon na yung totoong Patrick Star. "I missed you, Patrick!!" Saka ko lang naaala, tanaw pala sa kwarto ko ang nangyayari sa labas ng gate namin. Hindi ko inaasahang ganun ang mangyayari! Naku naman pa! Bakit niyo pa naisipang gawin yan pa? Sa kalsada pa!! At inalis mo pa talaga yang t-shirt mo, pa? Anong kalokohan iyan??

Pumasok na agad ako sa damitan ko para siyempre magpalit ng damit. Saka ko lang napansin na iba pala ang suot kong damit saka shorts pati na rin ang... Aaaarrggh!! Na-rape ata ako kagabi!!

Nang makapagpalit na ako ng maayos na damit, bumaba agad ako para awatin ang dalawa. Sa laki ba naman ni papa, tiyak na hihiram siya ng mukha sa aso kapag nabugbog siya! Pagkarating ko sa baba, kumakain na sina mama, ate at papa. Ito na siguro ang tamang panahon para ipaglaban ko ang sarili ko.

Magsasalita na sana ako kaso naunahan na ako ng takot. Tinitigan ako ni papa ng masama saka sinabing hindi naman daw ako pinapatawag. Kaya, ayun! Pumanhik naman agad ako sa taas.

Months have passed and it's a week before the start of classes. I've been caged in my room for exactly 9 weeks and been deprived with laptop, cell phone, money and love life! Of course the latter one is just a joke and I hope it wasn't. They enrolled me at Reitdan University which is a province away from Preirine (my hometown). They also found a lodging house near the university so I don't have to worry going back and forth and I really think papa wouldn't want to see me again! What have I ever done wrong to him?? Oh! Yeah! I almost forgot! I was doing my preparations back then when the wind hit my papers! Some of them were already used so I really didn't mind it so papa picked them one by one for me. Then, I remembered I wrote Vandein © Kier FOREVER, yeah, I had a crush on my classmate named KIER when I was on 2nd grade. I really didn't know my gender preference back then (and till now, I must say). When he read that note, he said bad things about me, about being gay, about things you really don't want to know or hear from your love ones, especially your parents. He didn't just hurt me emotionally but physically too. He would hurt me every time he has a chance, that's why I always go upstairs and stay in my room. There was a time when I have to be admitted on a hospital because of papa's doings. Children these days are so lucky; they already have strong laws to keep them protected. As of this moment, the new hired driver should preparing, of course, papa's car, checking things that needs to be checked, then the new hired maid knocked on my door telling me that I should get downstairs and leave. They're that excited to get rid of me.

"Mag-iingat ka doon, anak ha. Behave." She said then hugged me real tight, "Mama loves you, okay. Your sister and I love you so much."

I know this sounds dramatic but this is the first time I heard her say that words to me, might as well tell them what I truly feel.

"I love you guys, too." I told her with teary eyes, "Don't worry about me, I'll be good."

         "Vandein!!!" pagtawag sa akin ni papa, sasama raw siya sa akin sa Reitdan University para tignan kung may mga papeles na kailangan pang ayusin para sa pagtransfer ko.

         They dropped me in front of a large old looking building, the lodging house I must say, I called out for the owner of the house yet a single soul had not come out. With that, I've decided that I'll invite myself inside the building.

         Papalakas ng papalakas ang ingay na naririnig ko habang lumalapit ako roon, parang may mga nag-aaway, tulad ng ingay sa sabungan. Naku naman! Mukhang hindi ko magugustuhan ang mga mangyayari!
