His Promises

"I'm sorry Mira, I didn't want this to happen..you know how dirty politics is..and its not safe here.." mom started crying as she approached me and caressed my hair

"I understand ma, walang may gustong mangyari ito.. Its for us.."

Last time this happened it took almost 3 years for me to fully recover for what I've experienced..the last time my cousin and uncle died...when we got ambushed.. The target was just my uncle..pero nadamay kami... Most of my family are in politics kaya hindi malabong mangyari iyon..my younger brother almost got kidnapped yesterday so we decided to go abroad tomorrow and stay there for a while..

But that sad part is.. We're not able to tell anyone..even our closest and trusted friends..even him...Xiane... My bestfriend.. And the man I love..

Just the though of his name made my heart crumble... Every time I remember him I remember his broken promises..and I cant help but reminisce the past... Our past..

"Oh?!bakit ka nanaman umiiyak??" nagtatakang tanong ni Xiane

"Nagalit.. K-kasi si m-mommy.kasipinatawagakosaprincipalsofficekasi--"

"Ano?di kita maintindihan?"

"Sheena bullied me kaya lumaban ako syempre...she pulled my hair so i bit her arm..then pinatawgag kami sa principal's office..nagalit si mommy mas pinaniwalaan niya si Sheena na anak nang best friend nya pero akong tunay na anak.."

Then I started crying again...

"Shh..stop crying na..I believe you."

"Kahit crush mo si Sheena??"

Sus!bisto ka!may pamumula pang nalalaman!sumbong ko to kay tita Calliah!grade 6 palang ..lumalove life na..

"Heyy!!!di totoo yan!pero kahit maging ano ko man sya.. I will always believe you..I promise"

Then he hugged me..

Grade 7 kami nang nangyari ang accidente..

Halos 2 weeks akong walang ganang kumain bumangon o gumawa ng kahit ano.. It was like I lost all my senses.. I was indeed alive but my presence wasn't with me...
