Goodbye, Spoiled Brat.

Prologue

I didn't know that being a spoiled brat is a sin. I grew up being like this. Yes, aminado naman kasi talaga ako na I'm spoiled. That's the advantage of being an only child, duh! I get what I want with just one click.

My mom died when I was eight years old, so my dad gave all that I want to stop me from missing my mom. He is all that I have so he gave all that I want to have. From clothes, latest gadgets, a trip to another country and everything! Just to stop me from asking for my mom. He used to tell me that when he sees me smile, it reminds of mom.

My dad had a hard time moving on with my mom's death. We both can't. So it took 8 years for him to find another one. I thought that he can't, At first I was sad that he's now replacing my mom's spot in his heart, but I can't be so selfish with my dad after all I want him to be happy.

And then, he got married. Again. With my stepmother, whom I don't like. I don't like her in a way that she acts like she's really my mother. Imagine! Maski time ng pagtulog ko, pinapakealaman? Ito pa! Before, my curfew is 10 pm pero ngayon, it's freaking 7 pm! Strict pa siya sa lahat ng strict. And I hate people who dictate me.

I got angry!

So angry that everytime she does something, may ginagawa akong plan para maging palpak iyon sa mata ni dad. I'm being mean to her when dad's not around. Typical mean things that you do when you hate someone.

But there's no secret that you can keep. Nalaman ni dad lahat ng ginawa ko, because of that super stupid step mother, Sinumbong niya ako. I thought that Dad will save me and he's on my side, but my evil stepmother said that she's doing it for my own good. So kumampi si dad sa kanya. And that day, my life becomes worse.

My dad realized kung paano niya ako pinalaki. He said it was wrong. Hindi pala tama iyong mga ginawa niya saakin na ibigay lahat ng gusto ko. So he made the decision that I wish I was just shot and die, but instead, I'm going to our province. ALONE.

I'm going to Masbate, and I hate that place! It's like a district 12 in the Hunger Games! A boring place! People are ugly, they stink, they are loud, they are ignorant and more! I went there when I was still a kid and I don't want to go back.

But I have to go there! Because this is my punishment for being a brat! Pero bakit kailangan ako pa ang magdusa? Bakit kailangan ganito pa ang parusa? If it was dad's fault why I grew up like this. How come having a punishment will be the solution to end this attitude?

My dad's heart became a stone. I don't know him anymore. Sinong tatay ang gustong mahirapan ang anak? Sinong tatay ang paparusahan ang anak dahil sa pagiging spoiled at iiwang magisa sa isang place na alam niyang walang magandang kinabukasan. Hindi ba parang di magandang duty ng isang ama yon?

And starting that day. I hate the world. I hate the world, even more.

I had no mother, now, my dad is neglecting me, pushing me away. Parang pinalayas lang ako. I have no family na. I only have myself.

And going to that province is like a hell to me. How can I able to survive that shit? Will I be able to change?  Will I see myself saying: Goodbye, Spoiled brat?
