The Delinquent and The Silent

Chapter 1

LUKE'S POV

"HINDI KA LALABAS! Dito ka lang sa bahay at pag-isipan mo kung anong ginawa mo!"

I rolled my eyes.

"At baka sakaling pagsisihan mo!"

Dad pulled the door so hard I think some parts of my walls shattered.

I grabbed a flower vase beside me and threw it on the floor. "Stupid!"

Hindi ko naman ginustong madawit ang pangalan niya sa pagba-bar ko. Bullshit!

My dad's a well-known businessman. He runs one of the richest and famous companies in the country. He's also a director of some sort... not sure. He once worked for the government and he's respected. So me, who started a fight in a bar, last night, just ruined his name. I happened to be his son, after all.

Swerte ko na lang daw at naka-alis ako agad bago dumating ang mga pulis sa bar. Pero syempre may mga nakakita sa'kin kaya naglipana ang mukha ng tatay ko sa national TV. Laman siya ng mga balita at nakakasira 'yon sa kompanya.

Nagngingitngit pa din ako nang pumasok si Mom sa kwarto ko. I pouted.

Mom smiled and sat beside me. She pointed at the pieces of flower vase on the floor.

"Sorry mama. Dad pissed me off."

She brushed my hair upwards. "Luke, you know it's your fault."

I scratched my head. Hindi mo aasahang aamin ako.

"At sino bang nagsabi na pwede kang mag-bar?"

I grinned. Hindi ako nagbabar dahil nagrerebelde ako, I do it because I want it. They don't know what else I do. I'm discreet about my... works.

"You're not allowed, baby. Yep, you're nineteen and all pero sinabi ko nang ayokong nagbabar ka. Maybe once a month, pwede pa. I'm not that strict, I'm just being a mother. You understand me?"

I nodded. "Yes po."

I lighted a cigarette when she left.

"SHOT PA!" sigaw nang isang barkada ko nang maubos namin ang isang bote ng Jack Daniel' at Johnny Walker.

Ngumisi naman ako. Agad akong naglabas ng pera at umorder ng drinks para sa lahat.

Screw rules. When a boy wants a drink, he gets it.
