GETTING TO KNOW ME

GOOD EVENING READERS, YOU CAN RECOMMEND THIS STORY ON TIKTOK, ENJOY READING!!! [NA DELETE TO KAYA INULIT KO HUHUHU]

"Ate, I don't want to go home!"

"Stop pestering me, Kaliyah. Either you return home, or I will personally contact Dad to bring you back. The decision is yours."

I have been glancing back and forth at the siblings for a while now, merely listening to their conversation. It is evident that both Miss Violet has been restraining herself from shouting, and Hershee is visibly turning red with irritation. It feels as if I am watching a movie. Popcorn nalang siguro ang kulang.

Nong sinabi ko na nandito ang kapatid ni ma'am Violet sa bahay agad siyang bumaba para samahan ako, pauuwiin niya na daw ito. Hindi ko naman alam na magkapatid yung dalawa. They have different personalities, they may resemble each other in appearance, but their characters differ significantly. Hershee, in particular, is the cheerful one habang si ma'am Violet ay mukhang pinaglihi sa sama ng loob. Nakalimutan ko rin naman itanong yung surname ni Hershee kaya wala akong kaalam-alam na kapatid niya ang malditang to

"He doesn't really care about me, he even told me I'm a burden, so I decided to leave. Perhaps he'll be happier knowing that his burdensome child is gone, right? Why are you even here, sis? It would be fine if you were always at home to support me, but you rarely come home." Parang may hinanakit nitong sabi, nahiya naman akong nakinig pa sakanila, I guess hindi dapat ako nakikinig pa dahil masyadong personal ang usapan nila. Napagdesisyonan ko nalang na lumabas muna ng bahay at hintayin nalang silang matapos. My sister is already sleeping and I know hindi yun magigising sa usapan ng dalawang babae sa bahay kasi tulog mantika naman yun lagi.

I don't know what to feel right now, parang kanina lang nasa Bar ako at binastos ng lalake pagkatapos hinila ako ni ma'am pauwi, hanggang sa nandito ako sa bahay at nakikinig sa usapan ng dalawang magkapatid, feeling ko ang pagod ko ngayon dahil sa daming ganap. Mabuti nalang hindi mugto ang mata ko kakaiyak kanina, until now I'm still embarrass because of what I did.

"Ate! I'm not coming home, just let me go, please!" Napatayo nalang ako dahil sa nakita ko, Ma'am is currently pulling her sister by the arm out of the house while Hershee is resisting. I immediately approached them.

"You're coming with me whether you like it or not, don't be stubborn, Kaliyah." Pagmamatigas ni ma'am pero pumiglas lang yung isa at lumapit sa akin, kumapit pa talaga.

"Ayaw ko nga eh, gusto ko dito!" Napahilot nalang si ma'am sa sentido niya. Alam kong nagpipigil siyang sumigaw dahil nandito ako at gabi na, baka makagising pa kami ng mga kapitbahay kapag sumigaw yung dragon.

Patuloy parin sa pag-ayaw si Hershee and I'm just silent here pero naaawa na ako kay miss Salvahera dahil napagod ata to kakausap sa kapatid niyang matigas ang ulo, kaya naman pinaharap ko si Hershee sa akin, she's now crying and I know how she badly want to stay. If they stay longer, they might end up going home very late. So, I'll try to talk to Hershee as long as I can, and maybe convince her to leave for their safety.

I sigh "You need to go home. I understand that you want to stay here because things are not okay with your dad. But your dad is not the only one you'll be returning to... right? Many people are concerned about you, and you know it's not good to run away. You're still 16, Hershee, and there are many who care for you. It's not just your dad at home, even your sister is here because she's extremely worried about you... " Tumingin ako kay ma'am na nakikinig lang sa sinabi ko, binalik ko ang tingin kay Hershee, nakayuko na ito ngayon. "You can't run away from everything and leave it behind, you also need to confront things to determine whether they can be resolved or not" Tumango siya sa akin at niyakap ako kaya napangiti ako dito.
