Euphoria

CHAPTER 18

"What are you doing here?"

Napatingin saakin si daddy when he heard me speak kaya hindi ko maiwasang kabahan dahil hindi naman sya madalas pumupunta dito and now that he's here hindi ko maiwasang mapaisip kung bakit sya nandito. Nag lakad ako palapit sakanya para kunin yung hawak nya na poster, tinupi ko yon bago ko pinasok sa loob ng isang cabinet sa lamesa ko

"What's up with your hair?" He asked me ng humarap na ako sakanya, talking about my new hair color. I colored my hair into red kahapon because...I want to, in fact it looks perfect and fit on me naman and I also wanna try something new. Besides wala namang mawawala sakin if I colored my hair red "You know that it wasn't allowed in your school right?" He added

"I know but it's vacation naman po ngayon kaya I grab the chance, ibabalik ko rin naman po yung natural hair color ko after this vacation" I said while fixing my books na nakakalat sa sahig. Hindi ko naman kase alam na pupunta pala sya dito, hindi ko tuloy naayos yung mga gamit ko sa kwarto. Hindi naman ako yung type ng babae na makalat sa kwarto, nag kataon lang talaga na I didn't fix my stuff dahil nagmamadali ako kanina

"Look...you're really ruining yourself, first your hair and then your room was messy along those poster na walang kwentang nakadikit sa mga pader mo. Are you really my daughter? How can I introduce you to public if you're like that?" Natigilan ako sa pag aayos ng gamit ko dahil sa sinabi nya. Walang emosyong napatingin ako sa kanya habang nakasandal sa study table

"Is that what you came here for?" Tanong ko sakanya. He look so annoyed dahil sa inaasta ko sakanya ngayon pero hindi ko sya pinansin dahil sya naman ang may kasalanan kung bakit ako nag kakaganito ngayon at kung bakit ganto ang trato ko sakanya. He made me like this and introduce me to public? As if he could do it

Eh takot na takot nga syang madumihan yung pangalan nya sa mga media kaya nga nya ko tinatago because ayaw nyang malaman ng ibang tao na may iba pa syang anak at ibang pamilya kahit kami naman ang una tapos what? all of a sudden he would sya that? Naglakad sya palapit saakin at hinawakan ang dalawang balikat ko pero hinayaan ko lang syang gawin yon

"Althea Savonisch, act like my daughter...and not some melodramatic-rebellious girl. You're a Savonisch so act like one" He said in a serious tone bago nya ako bitawan at nag lakad paalis. Naiwan akong nakatulala sa kwarto ko dahil sa mga sinabi nya pero hindi ko narin pinatagal yon, punulot ko lahat ng nakakalat sa sahig bago ako pumasok sa bathroom para maligo.

After kong maligo ay nag suot lang ako ng itim na pajamas tapos natulog na agad ako dahil wala narin naman akong ibang gagawin, and besides ayoko ko naring maalala pa yung nangyari kanina. Nagising din naman ako ng maaga dahil don. Since wala naman na kaming pasok ngayon dahil chirstmas break ay tumayo nalang ako para mag hilamos. Pagkatapos kong mag hilamos ay bumalik ako sa kama ko at umupo don bago ko buksan yung TV

"Breaking news, worlds biggest problem about the overpopulated county was alarming scientist and even normal people that the government of the Philippines was deciding to put the 'one child only' rule to the country as the others counties planning the same to get rid of being overly populated." I heard the woman newscaster in tv said. Kinuha ko yon phone ko sa table sa gilid ng kama ko at nag scroll sa social media for a while, leaving my tv on

"The worlds population was getting big and big as years passed and it's starting to have no place for the others to live in. People already destroyed and occupied alot of space like forests, jungles and even deserts, which is destroying the mother nature and even the animals that lived there. The people in the world needs to start moving and do something about it or else we're all gonna die" Napatayo ako ng biglang tumawag si Klaire gc namin
