The Enemies (COMPLETED)

Chapter 45

Zach

Umalis ako ng school. I need to leave before the people could see how miserable and clueless I am. Gusto kong pumunta sa bahay. I want to ask dad if that was true. Kasi kung oo? Baka makapatay ako.

Okay lang sana kung hindi ko kilala yung babae. I am more favor of that decision. But Charisse? The "great" Charisse Ferrer? Natatakot na ko sa future ko ngayon palang.

Pumunta ako sa parking lot. I don't care if bumaba yung grades ko dahil mag I'll ditch my afternoon class. All I want is to talk to my family.

Even if I think that losing my true family was okay because someone takes care of me back, I still question God why.

Bakit ganito sila? I know that dinidisiplina lang nila ako pero bakit parang kinukulong naman nila ako? Kinukulong nila ako mula sa kalayaan ko. And I don't want that to happen.

Ayokong makulong sa taong hindi ko naman mahal.

"Beep, beeep!" tunog ng sasakyan. Tinignan ko yung side mirror at nakita kong nasa labas na yung driver. Bakit hindi ako umaandar? Nag cause tuloy ako ng traffic. What's happening to me?

"Hoy! What the f*ck! Umandar ka na nga! Bwisit, g*go!" Narinig kong sigaw isang lalaking medyo mataba. Mukha syang foreigner pero nagtatagalog.

"Mom, " sabi ko kay mommy nung nakita ko syang nagluluto sa may kitchen.

"Oh, Zachary, why are you---"

" Where's dad? " pinutol ko yung sinabi nya na ikinagulat naman nya. Sorry, mom but I need to do this.

"N-nasa work. Bakit?" gulat nya paring sambit.

"I need to talk to him, now." Umupo muna ako sa sofa. I throw my pillow away because of my anger. Hindi mo talaga alam yung mga nagagawa mo pag galit ka.

"Zach," mom warns me.

I sighed. I tried myself to keep calm. What should I do?

"Why are you finding me?" napatayo ako bigla. Finally he's here.

"Bakit sya?" I asked straight to the point. I badly want to hear his answer.

"Who? What do you mean?" Clueless nyang tanong. I need to calm myself. Nagmumukha na akong tiger dito.

"Bakit si Ferrer pa?" napahinga sya ng malalim. I think he got what I mean.

"How did you found out about that?"

"Hindi na importante yun. Pero bakit sya!" napataas na yung boses ko. I feel a hand touches my shoulders, it's mom.

There was a few seconds silence when dad finally said, "What's the problem with her? Isn't she pretty?"

"That's not my point. My point is, bakit dun pa ko mapupunta? Ayoko talaga sa kanya, dad. She's a son of a---"
