Final Farewell

2

It was still raining. The shop was already closing and I haven't eaten dinner yet. Bukas na lang. Wala rin naman akong ganang kumain.

"Halo, patayin mo na lang ang nga ilaw at ilock ang pintuan pag tapos ka na." My boss said and I nodded.

Nang natapos na ako ay nilock ko na ang pinto ng Endulgence. Making sure that I already locked it, I walked away quietly.

Its dark.

Walang mga bituin ang langit ngayong gabi. It was cold and dangerous. And I loved it.

I clutched my phone to my side. And adjusted my backpack before heading down to our house.

Nang nakalapit na ako, ay may party nanaman sa bahay namin. Ano nanaman ang occasion ngayon, Exian? Nanalo nanaman ba kayo Kuya?

I sighed.

I should be happy for my brother but I'm definitely not. He turned out to be the person he said he would never be. But I guess that the odds weren't in his favor.

Ear defeaning music blasted against the speakers inside our house.

Wala nanaman sina Mommy at Daddy ngayong gabi. As I entered the hell hole. All I could see was teenagers partying like its the end of the world.

There was a couple on the side who were eating each other's faces up. I shivered at the sight.

Kailangan ko nanamang magkulong sa kwarto ko.

As I reached my door. I shut it close again.

Tangina. They were doing it in my bed. What the fuck Exian? Seriously. Hanggang yun ba naman. I kept my mouth shut as I reached for the keys to the attic.

Spending the night up there again.

Buti na lang at nasa baba lang ang party. There wasn't anyone in sight to bother me.

I can get through this night.

I can do this.
