PROLOGUE 

Farrah

“I heard you got suspended today.” Dad’s voice sent shivers to my spine as he looked into my eyes directly while slicing the meat on his plate.

“Ferando...” Mom’s obviously trying to calm him down.

“Hindi ‘yan magtitino kung patuloy mong itotolerate, Alicia.” Bakas ang galit sa tono ng pananalita ng aking ama.

“They’re picking on me...” I looked down as I said those words.

“So you chose to punch that girl? Ganiyan ba ang itinuturo namin sayo? Ano na lang sasabihin sa amin? That we’re lacking as your parents?” Mahina lang ang boses ni papa nang sabihin niya ‘yon pero ramdam ko ang bigat ng bawat salita niya.

“You’re still nothing compared to your brother.” I glanced at my brother who acts like nobody exists around him.

“A fúcking disappointment.”

I snapped.

“I’m not.” I bit my tongue so hard— gosh, why did I even say that?

“What did you just say?” Napatigil ang lahat sa hapag nang mag-iba ang tono ng boses ng aking ama.

“Sorry.” I clenched my fist.

“See? You can’t even defend yourself. You, being an average is a disgrace to this family. I regretted having you as a child.” Sambit ng aking ama.

Farrah, hindi ka pwedeng umiyak.

It’s too late to calm myself down, a tear fell down to my cheek.

Muling nagsalita ang aking ama nang makitang tumulo ang aking luha. “Ano? Iiyak ka? Wala ka nang ibang ginawa sa pamilyang ‘to kundi ang bigyan kami ng kahihiyan. Hindi ka mapapakinabangan, you’re worthless.” Dire-diretso nitong sambit habang patuloy sa pagsasandok ng kanin.
