"Shit, shit" I muttered and cursed repeatedly as I kept on puking too early in the morning.

I woke up feeling under the weather; Hungover, I think? I drowned myself with alcohol last night.

It's been two weeks since I went back here in Canada. I can barely stay at home, I'm always out. I can still feel my father's palm on my cheeks up until now. It's like a tattoo. I think, there's no way, that I could forget about it.

It hurts, not physically but emotionally.

My father, my own father hurt me.

"Damn it!" I gripped the sides of the toilet and continued puking. It feels like someone is digging in my stomach. My head was spinning like a psycho.

"Apo, anong nangyayari?" Mama's voice behind the door called me. She was knocking on the door, panicking.

"I'm fine, mama! Just hungover!" I washed my mouth and stared at my reflection in the mirror.

I'm colorless-pale. I was just covering it with make up because I know that my grandparents will be very worried if they'll see me like this.

"Are you sure? Open the door and let me help you" I smiled, despite this attitude of mine, there are still two people who understand me, stand for me and trust me-my grandparents.

"I'm really fine ma, just wait me outside! I'll just wash up very quick." I shouted again.

"Okay, sige. Handa na ang breakfast. Bilisan mo, gutom na ang papa mo" she then chuckled.

"Alright, Ma!" I heard the sound of the door, she left already.

I took a shower and put light makeup first before going out. I greeted my beloved grandparents with a kiss on their cheeks.

"Lasing ka na naman kagabi" I pouted when papa forced himself to sound mad. My mama giggled.

"Pauso mo! Sa ating dalawa ay ikaw ang palaging komukonsinte sa batang ito!" She said and playfully smacked her husband's arm.

"Sorry, pa, ma" I blinked my eyes like a good puppy. I immediately saw love plastered on their eyes.

"Ay siya! You can go and drink all the alcohol you want again" I laughed loudly when papa declared that.

The breakfast was almost perfect not until mama gets my favorite breakfast dish, the hash brown omelette.

I immediately covered my nose with my hands when the aroma of it filled my nostrils.

"Ma, when did you make that?" I asked in a sick voice.

"Mainit pa apo, kakaluto ko lang. Hindi naman masama ang amoy." She smelled it.

She looked at papa and they started talking silently using their eyes. Oh, love.

"It smells panis na p--" my eyes widened when I felt my stomach churned.

I covered my mouth with my other hand and abruptly stood up to run towards the restroom.

"Fuck" I murmured.

Mama fixed my hair while I'm vomiting again. She's caressing my back. While papa was already talking to our family doctor.

"Dike, araw araw na ang pagsusuka mo ah?" Mama worriedly said. I am already washing my hands.
