"Oo nga noh! I miss that school, lalo na yung time na hinahatid nya ako" I looked at my Mom, and I saw it in her faced that she's sad. I felt sad also and I think it's been 11 years since that incident happen or should I say a GAME happens.
FLASHBACK
On December 1, 2004 my family move in small city in Delawari, Pennsylvania, United States called Chester. Walang masyadong tao sa lugar na ito, hindi makikitang may nagsisigawan, di katulad ng nasa pinas, at wala ring masyadung naglalakwatsa na mga kabataan. We moved here because of my father, he was an American navy. Hindi nya kayang mawalay sa amin kaya napagpasyahan nyang dito na lang kami tumira. Kapag tapos na sila sa trabaho nila agad agad syang umuuwi, he always brings a gift, and it's always a toy gun. Lage kaming nag lalaro kapag wala syang trabaho, minsan hinahatid nya ako sa eskwela at namamasyal sa parke at kumakain sa restaurant. I love my life that day.
December 30, 2004, the day na aalis na sya..
Kapag umaalis sya patungong trabaho lagi nyang sinasabi,"BE A GOOD BOY, BE A SOLDIER, BE A PROTECTOR" then I salute my hands and I say "SIR YES SIR". Alam kung malungkot sya, kapag kasi tumatalikod sya alam kung umiiyak sya. Ayaw nyang mawalay sa amin, mas ayaw kung mawalay sa kanya. Then I will run to him for the last time, and I will say "PLEASE COME HOME SAFELY" then I cried "BRAVED SOLDIERS DON'T CRY REMEMBER THAT". then he left with a wave hands like saying GOODBYE.
March 20, 2005, The day kung saan babalik na sya, tinapos ko lahat ng assignments and task ko sa school. Tapos nag madaling umuwi. I thought he was already there, pero wala pa pala, I waited at the front door, my Mom keep telling me na mag bihis pero ayaw ko, gusto kung makita muna sya bago ako magbihis. 4,5,6,7 pero hindi parin sya dumadating, pinapapasok na ako ni mama dahil gabe na raw, sa loob ko na lang sya hihintayin, then a car just came, I thought it was him, but it was uncle Roland and his wife tita Rika. They look scared I can tell it in their eyes and besides their shaking. I remember their conversation.
Mom: what's happening? why are you here?
Uncle Roland: I think you need to watch this? then tita just turn on the televesion
A man with a mask just pop up in the screen, it gives me creeps because his like a demon.
"Good day to all of you, were here for the last day of the Pacific Games. And the last two person who's still alive. Who will win for there freedom and for $100 million U.S dollar is it the lieutenant of African army or the commander of American Navy, LET THE BATTLE FOR A CHAMPION IN PACIFIC GAMES BEGIN".
I cannot moved my feet it's like i'm being glued. My Father my father is in there and he's fighting for his life, I can saw it on his face he want's to come back home.
We can't do anything but watched him fight, he can't barely punch because his rival is as big as him, pero hindi parin sya sumusuko, I can see it in his eyes, the determination.
I hold my mom's wrist and I said
"Mom is dad gonna be okey?"
"Trust in him, as he trust in you" my mom said that and it gives me strength.
"oh my God, I think his gonna hit him...?"-tita Rika
We watched dad closely and now I think he's gonna win... he punch like there's no tomorrow
"get'em dad" I shouted..
he punch and punch and punch and then uppercut which leads blackout...
I'm so happy my dad just won, dad just won, my mom was happy even my uncle and tita.
I can't believe this he won, his alive, he will be coming back HOM-
BANG
END OF FLASHBACK
" I'm sorry dad I cannot avenge you right now, untill now wala parin akong nakukuhang katibayan sayung pagkamatay,I promise that I will have my revenge" as I close my fist so hard and watch my father's graveyard.
