ALTHY'S P.O.V.

"Mom."I pursed my lips, trying to control my anger.

Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch beside my bed, hospital bed to exact.

"Oh god, sweetie.Than---"

"Anak nyo ba talaga ako?"I cutted her.

Their eyes went wide and Mom became pale.

"O-Of course."Mom was nervous

"Oh really?No skeleton in the closet?No dirty little secret?"I asked as I raised my eyebrow.

I know I shouldn't be talking to her like this, it was so...mean.

"Althy, what's happening to you?"

"Nothing Mom.Yesterday there was this woman who named..."I paused, prentending to think, "...Esther delos Reyes."

Even Dad's face stiffened.

"Althy, sweetie.I c-can expla---"

Confirmed.

"All my life, Mom.You were lying to me!"I shouted

Dad got out of the room at mukhang tatawag ng nurse.

Im starting to feel the anger.It felt like I was beaten up by a mean fuck girls.

"Baby, calm down.We can talk this out."she reason habang niyayakap ako.

My tears won't stop falling.

Fuck.Im screwed.

"Baby,I'll explain to you everything.J-Just calm down."

I kept crying.Ang sakit lang malaman na kaya pala hindi nila akong magawang ipagmalaki ay dahil hindi nila ako tunay na anak.

Sure, they gave me everything, but I didn't feel na minahal nila ako.Now I know.

"I can't believe this."I mumbled

I know Im being mean dahil imbis na magpa-salamat sakanila ay nagawa ko pang magalit.But I just can't help it.My life was a mess all along.It was full of lies.I felt betrayed.

The door suddenly opened at iniluwa doon ang isa pang tao na nagpa-gulo ng paniniwala ko.

"V-Violet?"

"Esther..."

Thay said in chorus.

My tears bursts more.

I felt my chest being heavy.

Until I realized that my sick is attacking me again.

I heard the two women screamed my name.

Then everything blacked out.

GUN'S P.O.V.

"What are you doing here, you skank?"Rhadz greeted me with an angry face.

After school ay dumiretao ako sa condo ni Rhadz,hindi kasi sya pumasok kanina.

I know he's always in here.

"Gusto ko lang makipag-usap."I said in a low, stir voice.

"Not now."the he slammed the door in my face.

Wow.Just...wow.

Wala akong nagawa kundi umuwi na lang.

Maybe,hindi pa ito ang oras para mag-usap kami ni Rhadz.

Now I understand kung bakit ganun na lang ang pagtatanggol nya kay Althea.

Pero, kailan nya pa nalaman?Bakit hindi nya sinabi saamin.

Back in 1st year highschool, when we first met him ay kinuwento nya agad saamin ang buhay nya.

Nung two years old sya ay pinamigay ng Mommy nya ang bagong panganak na kapatid nya dahil hindi daw kayang buhayin ng Mommy nya ang bata.His Dad died when he's 14 years old.Cancer.Mahirap pa sa daga sina Rhadz dati but look at him now.Angat na angat sila dahil sa pagsisikap ng magulang nya.Simula nun hinahanap na nila ang kapatid nya, nawala kasi ang mga taong pinag-bigyan nila ng bata.

"Nick?"

He's standing at doorframe of my condo.

"Tangina.Where have you been?Kanina pa ako naghihintay sayo dito."iritadong sabi nya

I opened my door at sabay kaming pumasok sa loob.

"What are you doing here?"I asked

"I need a good fuck.I didn't have pussy for a week!"he growled

Tss.Tanginang to.

"Anong kinalaman ko sayo?Go to the bar, grab a chick then fuck."I said shrugging my shoulder

"Nah.Kaya ko pa naman tiisin to.Oo nga pala, okay na ba kayo ni Rhadz?"tanong nya

I shook my head.

"I still can't believe it."sabi ko

"Neither am I.Malapit na ang party natin saka pa tayo nagka-ganito."sabi nya

"Don't worry.Maayos ko to."I confidently said

After an hour of talk with Nick ay umuwi na rin sya.

I took a quick shower and change into my PJ's.

I laid my back at the back and stared at my phone.

There's this argue inside me na para bang gusto kong I-text si Althea at kamustahin.

I bet she's angry with me.

Of course you, asshole.You're the reason why she's in the hospital right now.My concience spoke.

She's sick.May heart condition sya.I feel really really really bad right now.

What if I visit her tomorrow at the hospital?

Great idea.

Wala pa ako sa mismong tapat ng kwarto ni Althy ay naka-salubong ko si Rhadz.

Shit.

Agad na dumilim ang mukha nya nang makita ako.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"tanong nya

"Gusto ko lang bisitahin si Althy."

He smirked.

"Bilib din ako sa kapal ng mukha mo.Umalis ka na dito."sabi nya at nilagpasan ako.

Binangga nya pa ang balikat ko.

Damn, great.

Tinawag nya ako kaya lumingon ako sakanya.

"...I quit on your gang."

Then I felt a lump on my throat.

Ganun lang kadali yun?

Tatalikuran nyo lang kami ng ganun-ganun?

What the fuck is happening to the world!?
