[Via’s POV]
Shet, nagising ako na ang sakit sakit ng ulo ko.
Ano ba kasi ang nangyari?
Ang natatandaan ko lang ay umalis kami ni Max kahapon at pumunta ng bar.
OMG, don’t tell me na nalasing ako? Fvck.
Bumangon ako and checked my phone.
Argh! hang-over, I hate you!
25 missed calls and 20 text messages.
Puro kay Gela asking me kung nakauwi na ba ako at kung bakit ako nalasing.
Paano niya nalaman?
I texted her back.
To: Gela
Nalasing? Ha? paano mo nalaman?
Yung isang message naman ay galing kay Max.
Kani-kanina lang yung message.
From: Max
I’m sorry, Via. The reporters followed us to the bar last night. They took pictures of us while I was carrying you because of drunkenness. I explained it you your mom and dad but they still want to talk to you. I’m on my way to your house now.
This is not happening.
Sobrang lagot na talaga ako nito. Swear.
Then the door opened.
“Good morning Miss Via. Your mom and dad wants to talk to you, they’re in the study room together with Mr. Lopez.” Sabi ni Miss Joyce sakin.
I just nodded and got up.
I went to the CR to freshen up first.

I took a deep breath before knocking and enter the room.
“Take your seat.” My mom said upon entering the room.
“Do you know how much scandal you did last night?” my dad asked me.
“Yes sir.”
“Then why did you do that irresponsible act? I thought you learned your lesson after what happened two years ago.”
Napayuko nalang ako sa sinabi ni dad.
Oo, dapat natuto na ko sa pagkakamaling yun. Pero ginawa ko na naman.
“Excuse me sir, but it is not Via’s fault. I was the one who invited her to accompany me. She didn’t want to come but I still insist. I’m sorry about this sir. I’ll take care of this.” Max said.
“Is that true, Via?” mom.
Max looked at me, sinasabi niyang umo-oo nalang ako sa sinabi niya.
Na para hindi na ko malagot lalo.
“yes ma’am.”
“Ok, I’ll let this slip. I’ll clean the messed you’ve made. You can leave now.”
I just nodded, at sabay na kami lumabas ni Max sa study room.
Pagkalabas na pagkalabas namin sa room, tumulo agad yung luha ko na kanina ko pang pinipigilan.
For them, everything I do is irresponsible and not right. Pag may tama naman ako na ginawa, they don’t appreciate it.
Bakit ganun? Hindi ba nila ako anak para pakitaan man lang ng appreciation and pagmamahal? Si ate Lia lang ba talaga ang mahalaga sakanila?
