Judge Me Not

Chapter 14 What is Behind the Badboy

RALLEY POV

      Arrrggghhh!! Saturday na Saturday!  Why I wake up early ba! I can't go back to sleep na kasi. I plan to wake up late today since I don't have a pasok naman! And see, here am I,  wide awake! What to do ba?? Maybe I will just go to mall nalang by 9:00.

I am now looking at the street because of boredom.  I am making sakay na kasi going to mall. When our car STOP!

" manong what happen?" I ask our  driver.

"May pinagkakaguluhan po kasi ang mga tao dun ma'am" he said pointing to those na nagkakagulo. My curiousity strikes kaya I make baba sa car.

"Manong, I will just go there ha." I said while tumatakbo not even facing him.

"Ma'am!" He shout.

"I'll be back manong!" I replied.

   *boogsh! Booogshh!!*

"Yan! Suntok!","haya!","tumayo ka,durugin mo mukha nyan!" Those are just a few sa mga naririnig. I cannot kita kasi because they are so marami. So, I decided to ask the lady beside me.

"Ahm,miss what's happening ba?"

"Ah,may mga nagsusuntukan kasi dun. Ang isa lasing panga pero ang galing nyang makipag sunutukan! Biruin mo tatlo kalaban nya tapos nasa tamang pag-iisip pa! Para syang si FPJ!" Hyper na kwento ni ate na like  ini-enjoy pa nya ang scene,evwn in fact na there is a fight!  Tsk. Human!

So I decided to makisiksik sa crowd just to see what they are talking about! And to my surprise!  Clyde is the drunk one and he is pinagtutulungan ng 3 boys! Tsk. Unfair! I make tingin sa mga tao around me if there is someone na magpapastop them! But there's no one! They are like watching a live action scene from the movie!

"STOOOOPP!!" I shouted. I can't stand here looking at him being hit by those pangit na mga mukhang boys! He is still wearing our school uniform pa nga, means he never make uwi kagabi. I try to alalay him but his so mabigat luckily manong driver help me.

I hear the crowd making reklamo because I interrupted their enjoymeny. I just don't care!

"Do you know this address manong?" I ask the driver while handling him the I.D. of Clyde.

"Ah! Alam ko po 'to ma'am!"

I watch, Clyde as he is asleep. I ask myself tuloy,don't he have family na maghahanap sa kanya?

"Sayang ma'am noh!" Manong who interrupted my pag-iisip.

"Huh?" I ask, I'm naguhuluhan kasi.

"Yang batang yan! Basagulero,gwapo pa naman sana,tsk.tsk.tsk." he said,while making pailing-iling pa his head.

I never replied to him na lang kasi baka magising si Clyde which is now sleeping ng mahimbing. But syempre in my head nagkakaroon na ng disapprovement on what manong said. Like hello? This ugly creature? gwapo? Nah! No way.

"Andito na tayo ma'am".

I make baba sa car and I press the doorbell a couple of times na but seems walang nakahear. A passerby stop.

"Ay! Iha, baka wala ang may ari jan baka tumambay na naman yun sa may kanto!" Sabi ng isang aleng napadaan.

"What do you mean po?" I ask.

"Eh,si Clyde lang nag-iisa dyang nakatira,medyo pasaway pa naman yung batang yun!" I am na shocked naman!

"Ah,ok po!" Then,umalis na yung ale.

I look at the gate kaya nalaman ko na it is bukas naman pala. When I look at manong driver,he makes alalay na pala to Clyde. I bukas the gate nalang for help. Luckily the main door is open din. I see naman agad an open room kaya I ask manong nalang to bring him to that room.
