Wakas (Part 1)

Greg's POV

"Putangina, Gregorio! May babae ka na naman ba ha?!" umugong ang malakas na sigaw ni Mama sa buong bahay.

Sunod kong narinig ang tunog ng mga nabasag na bagay sa paligid. Maaga pa lang pero ang pag-aaway na agad ng magulang ko ang aking naririnig

"Wow! Good morning, self." I muttered sarcastically, stretching up slowly before getting up from the bed.

Paglabas sa kwarto ay sumalubong sa akin ang mga magulang kong nagtatalo pa rin. Wala ng bago sa kanila, tila ba isang pelikula ang nangyayari sa buhay namin.

Mama's voice high-pitched and desperate cut through the air. "Bakit ayaw mong aminin na may babae ka ha?!"

"Can you please shut the fuck up?!" my father's voice roared in the place. 

"Huwag kang umakto na parang malinis ka rin," nakita ko ang marahas na paglunok ni Mama, dahil sa sinabi ng tatay ko.

Hindi rin inosente si Mama alam ko kung paano siya lumapit sa ibang lalaki, kapag hindi nakatingin si Papa.

My family is well-known in the business world, but behind good family image, wealth, and influence... we are nothing but a dysfunctional mess.

Both of them had their fair share of affairs; my siblings did too, and they always said it was okay.

Na wala naman daw kasing perpektong tao sa mundo, lahat nagkakaroon ng pagkakamali.

Si Mama ang may kontrol sa lahat sa amin; siya rin ang madalas masunod kaysa kay Papa.

I grew up in an abusive household. My siblings and I were often beaten by our mother when we were kids. My father is also a drug addict.

Hindi na ako kumain dumiretso na lamang ako papasok sa trabaho; hindi ko rin naman malulunok ang kinakain ko.

I told myself I'd focus on the business, but I met Reign. She's different from the others, she was like a breath of fresh air in the toxic life I had grown up with.

I pursued her, proving how much, I wanted her. After months of courting, she finally said yes.

I showed how much I loved her by surprising her with flowers, gifts, and other gestures that expressed the depth of my feelings for her.

I love Reign with all my heart, she's the best girl that I ever had. I've been with other girls, pero iba talaga siya. She's pure...

Sa mundong punong puno ng kalokohan at kasinungalingan, gusto kong angkinin ang purong bagay na iyon.

"Ako lang ang kaibigan mo, tandaan mo iyan ha?" bulong ko habang magkasama kami.

She nodded her eyes filled with trust.

Natuwa ako ng malamang tinalikuran niya ang kanyang mga kaibigan, nagalit daw siya dahil sa panghuhusga nila sa akin.

Dapat ako lang ang mahalaga sa kanya, dapat ako lang ang meron sa kanya, ako lang ang kailangan niya.

"I love you, hon." She said sweetly.

I smiled when I heard those words from her, agad ko siyang niyakap.

"I love you too," I kissed her on the lips.

Our relationships are legal—respected by both our families.
