HMS 1: Caught In A Bad Romance

Chapter 4

When I was in my junior highschool I became a rebellious child. Dahil nga maaga akong nahiwalay sa magulang ko. Ginawa ko ang lahat para makuha ang atensyon nila. I did everything just to go back home.

I drink, smoke weeds, fought a lot and even failed my grades. That's how persistent I am just to go home. Sobrang hirap lumaki ng walang magulang. Nahihirapan ako noong mga panahon na iyon dahil bukod sa maliliit kung pinsan ay mga maid lang din ang kasama namin.

I'm always at the principal office. But of course my parents did not bother attending it. Si grandma lagi ang pumupunta sa akin pag may ginagawa akong kalokohan. Kaya sa kanya talaga ako takot, dahil kahit hindi s'ya nakatira sa mansyon s'ya ang tumayong magulang naming magpipinsan.

There's this one time that I got jail because someone saw us smoking weeds and reported us in the police.
And my grandparents show up in the police station. My grandpa is mad while my grandma is crying.

And that's it. Like a bulb getting on, it is my wake up call. Na dapat ihinto ko na ang mga kalokohan ko dahil wala naman itong patutunguhan. I can't afford to see my grandma crying again. I can't afford to see something bad happen to my grandma because of me.

When I graduate junior highschool. I promise myself that I will do my best to be on top of my class. I would not give care to those who don't want me. Even my parents. I would do this because of myself now, not for my parents. Aayusin ko na ang buhay ko kase kung wala naman pala silang pake sa akin. Ano pa silbi ng pagrerebelde ko?

So when senior highschool came I enroll in a prestigious school and pass the exam. I enroll to abm strand. I can proudly say that I top it. I top in the whole senior highschool. And I'm the most proudest to myself. Also my grandparents. They are the proudest to my achievements.

So when my college life came. Hindi na ako nahirapan. Cause I know now, I'm the better version of myself. The one who would not get rebellious just to get his parents attention. If I remember the last time I get into fight is in my second year because some stupid homophobic boy.

"Fuck! What's your problem man?" He ask as he split the blood in his mouth where I punch him.

"You. Are. My. Problem." I stare at him darkly.

"Me? Eh, wala nga akong ginagawa sayo." Takot nitong tanong.

My frat members are just in my back, watching. Hindi sila nangingialam. Although kahit wala sila dyan I can do this alone. I'm not their leader for nothing. This kid is just a senior highschool but I don't give a damn. He mess with my cousin, that means he mess with me.

"Sa 'kin wala. Pero sa pinsan ko meron."

Hindi naman ako nagsisi na sinutok ko yun. Ang pinagsisihan ko pa ay suntok lang ang ginawa ko. He deserves it. Kung hindi lang ako pinigilan ng mga kafrat ko baka sa nakaratay na yun sa hospital. Hindi naman ako napa-office that time.

I don't even care kahit ireklamo n'ya ako. Samahan ko pa s'ya. Takot lang nun. I have a frat that I lead. But of course we do not engage in fight without a reason. Tulad ng sabi ko matagal na akong nagbago. Just don't mess with my members, we're good.

Our frat actually is a peacemaker in the school. I'm not just a frat leader but also a student council president. Pacificateur Organisation. Which means Peacemaker Organization.

Kaya masasabi kung ang huling kalokohan ko ay sobrang tagal na. Kaya anong ginagawa ko dito?

Anong ginagawa ko sa prisinto at nakaposas. After they pinned me in the floor and handcuffs me. Kinuha nila ang babaeng katalik ko at binalutan ng tuwalya. But me in the other hand, they let me lay in the floor naked until the lady gets out.

After that lumabas na ang lahat pero may isang naiwan para panuoodin ako magbihis. He let the handcuffs off my hands. Pero pinagbantaan n'ya akong babarilin pagtumakas. I'm don't easily get even scared dahil alam kung wala akong kasalanan.

But I don't know. I think there is something wrong with me, I shivers in his voice, I got scared for a second. And it's not normal for someone like me to get scared.

After dressing up they handcuffs me again and they led me to the police mobile and now I'm at the precinct.

"Now what?" I greeted my teeth in annoyance and slammed the table in front of me.

"Sir, calm down. Hinihingi pa namin ang statement ni ma'am." He said calmly and coldy at the same time.

Like he didn't threatened me earlier. I stared intendedly at his eyes. I was taken aback when I see his grey eyes. His eyes were as gray as thick, prowling clouds in a thunderstorm.

Like a thunderstorm that I'm ready to get myself devoured even though death is the one I'm facing.
