Chapter One: Independence

"Ano bang iniinarte mo,hah?! Yung anak mo nga hindi nagrereklamo tapos ikaw kung makapagmaktol akala mo naman ikaw yung hihiwalay!" Putahamnida. Ang ingay-ingay nila! Ugh. Lechugas na bahay to!

"Nag-aalala lang naman ako sa anak natin e. She's still our baby and I can't afford to lose her. Being independent in the age of 18? Sweetheart, she's too young for Pete's sake!" I secretly rolled my eyes. The hell with my parents? Hindi ba sila aware na yung topic nila ay nandito lang sa harap nila na TAHIMIK na kumakain?! The nerves! Ugh.

Padabog kong binaba ang kubyertos na dahilan ng pagtingin nila sakin. I look at them coldly."A-ahh. Anak, don't mind us. H-hehe continue eating,nak." Ngumisi ako na mas ikinanginig nila kaya sumeryoso uli ako.

"You're noisy." Saka ako tumayo at pumunta sa kwarto ko. I dive to my bed and let myself eaten by the tiredness.

--
I woke up and stretch my body. My eyebrows raised when I saw the dimness of the surroundings outside. Gabi na pala. I take a look at clock on the side table only to see that its past 9 o'clock. Napasarap yung tulog ko. I scratch my cheeks then go downstairs.

"Where are they?" I yawned. Ugh. Seriously, I slept for about nine hours?! Ugh. I'm starving.

My feet guide me to the kitchen so I look for a food for me to eat. May kanin pa sa rice cooker, naglabas ako ng malaking cup noodles saka nagboil ng dalawang itlog. I smile at my dinner.

Kumain nalang ako ng kumain like there's no tomorrow. I'm hella starving, really.

I entertain myself with our television after eating when I feel my weird parent's presence.

"Labas na." I said coldly. Nagtulakan pa silang lumabas sa may ilalim ng staircase. Saka nahihiyang tumabi sakin sa sofa.

"What's up?" I said trying to be cool. Not cold.

"About the independent thingy, baby Ice.. Uhh. What's your decision? I mean, your final decision?" My mom started. I just look at them then take my attention again to the screen.

"I'll be." I said as I turned off the TV and walk towards the staircase. Inaantok na naman
ako. Hay.

"What do you mean by that, Ice? Is that a yes or a no?" Pahabol pa ni dad. Ang slow naman. Kailangan ba specifically detailed?! Inaantok nako e.

Lumingon ako at nginisian sila. "I'll be an independent. Happy now?" I rolled my eyes saka nagtuloy-tuloy sa hagdan.

Narinig ko pang nag-aasara sila. Nanalo daw si Mom. Si Dad? Ayun asar. Talo e.

Bago ako tuluyang dalawin ng antok, naisip ko muna ang mga posibleng mangyari when I'm not depending on my parents anymore.

Will I be fine? Tsk. Goodluck, Lovely Demonice Perez. I everything went black.
