Chapter 2
"Life wasn't meant to be traveled backwards. You need to move on." I whispered. Im telling this to myself, more like convincing. I want to move on, but why has everything needs to come back?
Im silently praying, na sa pagbalik ko sa lugar na yun maging maayos ang buhay ko. I dont want history to repeat itself again. Natatakot ako sa pwedeng mangyari. Alam kong ako ang may kasalanan pero lagi nilang pinagtatakpan para hindi ako masaktan. Gusto kong humingi ng tawad, pero pano ko pa yun magagawa? And im not sure if i can. I cant.
Napamulat ako dahil naramdaman kong may umupo sa tabi ko. Actually, nasa loob na ako ng airplane na ito..pabalik ng Pilipinas. Then narinig kong nagsimula nang magsalita yung operator about sa safety and stuffs.
"Excuse me, do you have a pen i can borrow?" naramdaman kong kinalabit ako ng katabi ko. And based on its voice,it's a guy. I removed my shades and looked at him. Then i shook my head and put back my shades on. But after another minute he poked my arm again and asked me if he can borrow a pen for the second time. This time I'm getting irritated by him. What the hell is his problem?
Hindi ko siya pinansin. This guy is really annoying. Like seriously! Then for the sixth time, he poked my arm again. "If youre going to ask if i have a pen, NO I DONT HAVE ONE! Go bother someone else! Retard!" Sigaw ko. I lose my cool. To hell with this guy.
Naramdaman kong napatingin sa amin ang mga tao na nakarinig, bigla ring may lumapit na stewardess asking what's the matter daw. Hindi ko sinagot and let the guy handle this. Naglagay na lang ako ng earphones sa tenga ko at nilakasan ang volume. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog ako. Pero nagising din dahil kinakalbit na naman ako ng katabi ko.
Masama ang tingin na binigay ko sa kanya. His eyes went wide open. Actually he is cute but he is one heck of annoying guy. "WHAT?" irritated na tanong ko. Then he pouted, he offered me a sandwhich. As if on cue nakaramdam ako ng gutom. Ilang oras rin pala akong nakatulog. Dahil gutom naman ako so kinuha ko ito at kinain. He's just watching me.
"Quit staring." sabi ko. I heard him gasp.
"Im not even staring." sabi niya. Napailing na lang ako. Tsk tsk. Isip bata.
Makalipas ang ilang minuto, nagsalita na naman siya. Kung wala lang kami sa eroplano, baka kanina pa ako umalis dito.
"By the way, im BC." Sabi niya. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"If you're busy then you should've not bothered talking to me, idiot!"
He gasp. "No, no. What I mean is my name is BC. But you can call me Braxton." At inabot niya yung kamay niya.
"I'm Hell." Sabi ko. This time, ako naman sinamaan niya ng tingin.
"What? My name is Hell." Sabi ko.
"Are you even serious?" Tanong niya. I just nod.
"Nice meeting you then." And we shook hands.
Another friend eh? Nah! Hindi na siguro kami magkikita nito. But i'm glad I met a new friend kahit sinungitan ko pa siya.
~~
"Hey, stop right there!" I shouted. Pagkalabas ko palang ng airport, hinablot ang bag ko. Damn this.
Yung mga guards naman hinabol yung lalaki. Hayyy, buti at konting damit lang yun.
After 10 minutes, bumalik yung mga guards at sinabing hindi nila nahabol yung snatcher. I just rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, whatever." Sabi ko nalang. Di rin nagtagal ay may sumigaw ng pangalan ko.
"GREY HELL!" Paglingon ko, it's Travis. My cousin.
"What are you doing here?" Tanong ko. Close kami nito , mas close kesa sa kapatid niya na si Yumi, but hindi na namin pinapahalata because Yumi gets jealous kaya yun.
"They're busy. So how's life there?" Tanong niya. Hindi ko nalang siya sinagot at ngumiti na lang.
"Di ka parin nagbabago. Suplada." Bulong niya.
"Hey ! I heard that." Glaring at him. He just ignored me and went to his car.
"Where's your bag? " tanong niya.
"Oh you know, when I went out of that crap, somebody snatched it away. Good thing i'm not in the mood to kick his ass." Sarcastic na sabi ko.
"Bear with it. That's how life in the Philippines."
Well I guess I can say, Welcome back to Philippines Hell.
Pagkadating namin sa bahay, sinalubong ako ng mga maids. Taka rin sila at wala kahit isang bitbit man lang akong dala.
"Where's everybody?" Tanong ko.
Nakita ko pang nagsisikuhan sila at nagbubulungan. Anong problema ng mga toh? Nakakunot noo ko silang tinignan.
"She can understand tagalog." Sabat ni Travis. Oh I see.
"Ma'am, may meeting po parents niyo. Yung kapatid niyo po na si Ms. Aisha eh nasa school pa po. Si sir Savior naman kaaalis lang po."
I sighed. I hate to admit this but , I can feel i'm not really welcome in this country, not even in my own house.
Travis tapped my shoulder. "Don't be sad. Told you they're just busy. And anyways, let's go meet some friends."
I know he's just making me feel better. But for now, I just wanna rest. I'm tired.
"I'll pass. I need some rest. Maybe some other time." He nod. Nagsimula na rin ako umakyat papunta sa kwarto ko.
Wala paring nagbago. Kung paano ko ito iniwan, ganun ko rin ito binalikan. I was 7 years old noon. I smiled remembering what I was before. Nothing really changed.
Bata pa ako noon, hindi talaga ako mahilig sa mga girly stuffs, like flowers, rainbows, butterflies, unicorns. Those stuffs.
Opposites really do attract, because I met somebody who likes those things I hated. My bestfriend. I'm not pertaining to Yumi. But to my other bestfriend.
Her name is Grace. Tuwang tuwa siya dahil daw Hell ang pangalan ko. And if you try to put together our names, it will totally sound like my suppose to be real name. Greyshelle.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry I didn't do anything and that made me lose you." I whispered.
Don't worry bestfriend. Magkikita na ulit tayo. After all this long years. We're going to see each other again.
