[ Raw Chap ]

Natapos ang party ngayong gabi na halos wala ako sa tamang wisyo. Hindi kasi mawala-wala sa isip ko ang imahe ng kahiya-hiyang nangyari sa'kin sa may hotel kanina lang. Feeling ko ay halos sariwa pa sa pandama ng kamay ko ang bagay na yun.

Ugh..nagsisitayuan talaga lahat ng mga buhok ko sa katawan sa tuwing naaalala ko ang l*nty*ks na kargada ng Maxx na yun.

Truth be told ay wala pa akong nahawakang hinaharap maliban nung sa akin sa tanang buhay ko. Not until nung kanina. I'm even a virgin to everything! And now, my hands are not. Screw it!

Tss...Rain, forget about it. That's just a f*ck*ng accident and you have that same thing too. Alright?

Ugh...nah...who am I kidding? I'm traumatized by that horrific event already. So worst that I'm even looking at may own f*ck*ng d*ck to compare.

"Son are you alright? Ba't ka sumisigaw dyan?"

Oh sh*t si mama.

Kumakatok sa pinto ng kwarto ko. Tsk..napalakas na ata ang paglabas ko ng frustrations ng hindi ko napapansin.

"Rain Denver Park! Open this d*mn door now!"

Hay si mama talaga oo.

"Ayan na Ma." Sabi ko na lang bago tinatamad na pumunta sa pinto para pagbuksan siya.

"Thank goodness! What's going on?" Bungad nito agad sa'kin pagkabukas ko pa lamang ng pintuan.

"Wala ma. I'm fine." Sagot ko naman rito na ikinanliit ng mata niya.

"Anong you're fine?" Anito na nakapameywang pa. "Halos dinig ka na namin sa kabilang kwarto tapos you're fine? Wait...what's that on your lips? Pasa ba yan?"

Shucks I totally forgot that the concealer I used earlier already wear off.

"Rain Denver Park, I need explainations. Now!"

"Mama, relax I told you I am fine. I was walking around yesterday and I bump into-" / "Was it because of that girl? Nakipagbasag ulo ka ba dahil sa babaeng yun? Ha baby?"

I wasn't able to finish my alibi when my mom interrupted me from doing so.

Audible silence envelops the two of us until my mom heave a sigh of disappointment.

"Was it her man's fists that causes that?" Kapagkuway tanong ng mama na sinagot ko na lamang ng tango.

"Ma, its alright. It was just a misunderstanding anyway. The guy didn't know." I answered mama not noticing that there is something wrong with my reply and her folded forehead says it all. Huli na ng mapagtanto ko yon.

It sounds kasi na I am defending that Maxx Mortel imbes na isumpa ko ito dahil sa galit.

"Teka nga lang baby." Aniya as she enters my room. "You know the guy?" Mama curiously no...confusely asked.

This time, ako naman ang napabuntong hininga.

"Unfortunately, I do." I defeatedly said as I continues. "You know the Mortel Siblings?"

She vigorously nods as she sits on my bed. Waiting for me to continue.

"It's eldest one."

"Que horror! That girl is a high end gold digger!! Buti na lang talaga baby at siya mismo ang nakipaghiwalay sa'yo. It may sound inappropriate but she don't deserve to have you. Hay...binata na talaga ang baby ko. Halika nga rito."

Mama gestured me to come closer so I did. She then grabs me by the waist for a hug.

"Pero Baby, hindi mo pa rin sinasagot ang tanong ko kanina. Knowing all of this today, alam kong may nangyari kanina sa party." Aniya as she tries to convince me of telling what she wanted to hear.

Dahil dito ay muling nanumbalik ang alaala ng mga nangyari kanina sa CR. Making me feel the same uncomfortable feeling that turmoils my insides. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pagbabagong ito na nagyayari sa'kin emotionally kasi this is the first time that I felt this way. Nakakatakot. Nakakalito. Nakakapanibago.

"W-wala ma. S-sige na m-matulog na tayo't alam kong pagod na pagod ka sa pag-o-organize ng party."

"Hmmp...napakashowbiz. O siya, magshower ka na't matulog." Pagsuko ng mama as she stands off my bed. "Good night baby." She then grant me a quick kiss on the cheeks before she leaves my room.

Agad na lamang akong napatampal sa noo dahil sa nangyayari sa akin. After contemplating about dito sa nakakalitong damdamin ko na wala rin naman akong napala so I rush through the bathroom to start my clean-up however as I pass by the mirror near the sink, I noticed how red my face was.

D*mn I dont know what is happening to me but all I know that this is not good. I need to figure out what is going on with me.

Tss..makaligo na nga lang. Mabilis akong naghubad ng mga damit ko at walang saplot na pumasok ng shower room.

After ilang minutes of staying at the shower, I decided to dry myself up and tuck in bed. I texted Chun as well to ask for an update kung nakauwi na ba ito. Kahit kasi na nagkita na sila ni Tin ay hindi ko pa rin maiwasan ang mag-alala dahil parang kapatid na ang turing ko sa kanya.

The next day, I wake up late dahil late na rin akong natulog. Hindi kasi ako dinalaw ng antok kahit na buong magdamag na akong nakahiga sa kama so I just decided to be late for school. Medyo masama pa nga ang pakiramdam ko ng kaunti dahil sa kakulangan sa tulog. It's almost lunchtime na'rin naman kaya dumiretso na lamang ako sa may Moodly. Isang food establishment kung saan kami laging kumakaing tatlo nina Chun and Tin.

I'm still worried pa rin kasi kay Chun honestly. Hindi basta-basta ang mahold-up. I can't imagine the feeling of being in grave danger.

As I walk through the alley, I recieved a message from Papa reminding me of the report he asked me to do. Its actually about the inventory report of the farm materials specific to cultivation. I've been making it since last week and I'm almost done na rin dahil nga sa hindi ako makatulog ay ginawa ko na lang. Now, all I need to do is to complete this before I go there sa farm myself to check kung ano ang kulang so I could send the restocking request sa finance department.

I send my reply to papa about the status before I proceeded in meeting Tin and Chun. When I reached the place, I sigh in relief when I saw Chun unscratched. Doon na rin niya ibinigay ang regalo niyang panyo na may nakabordang disenyo at saka pangalan ko and to tell you honestly, gustong-gusto ko itong regalo niya dahil gawang kamay niya mismo ito. I feel appreciated because of the effort. We had a few more talks na mostly bardagulan lang nina Tin and Chun before we parted ways. Sila para sa kanilang klase while I am on my way towards the library para tapusin ang drafts ng report na gagawin ko for the company.

When I reach the library ay agad akong naghanap ng medyo secluded na lugar para masimulan ko na ang mga dapat gawin ng walang destruction. Type dito, draft doon, yan lang ang paulit-ulit kong ginawa dahil napakaraming options na ipinasa ang OIC [officer in charge] ng taniman sa kung anong fertilizer ang angkop para sa bawat phase ng pagtubo ng mga ubas at strawberries. I was too focused on what I'm doing to the point na ginupo na ako ng antok. Sunod-sunod na hikab ang aking ginawa hanggang sa hindi ko na nakayanan pa't sumubsob na lang sa mesa. When I was halfway of drowning myself to slumber, I felt a hand caressing my hair. The touch feels so good that it made me want to sleep more. So I did, not minding who the person was.

The last thing I remember is I heard a voice.

A voice so familiar whispering...

"Sleep tight, sleepy head."
