Mysterious Soulmate

Chapter 35 (part 2) (under construction)

E.N. "Circle" is a reference from Dante Alighieri's "Inferno". There are eight circles - each representing the different stages of Hell. "Limbo" is the first circle and the first stage.

JC's POV

Ok let's proceed...

I've been here for about five weeks. What kind of circle am I in now? Nasa limbo pa lang ba 'ko? Ilang beses nang may nagtatangka sa 'kin di ko na kakayanin! Mababaliw ako dito! Nalaman agad ng Head ng pulis dito na special treatment ako kaya nawala din ang jail suite ko.

Pangalawang araw ko na ngayon sa squater area ng kulungan.

"Montemayor!! May dalaw ka!" said the policeman.

Then they let me out from the cell.

Thanks to Heaven!!!!

"Dad!! Oh my..." I embraced him tight. "Oh my God what are you doing here?"

"I know what you did, and that is not funny." said dad with a serious and low tone of voice.

Natulala ako sa kanya at napanganga...

"Ahe c'mon dad it's just a joke!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT KIND OF JOKE!?"

Napatingin ako sa paligid, pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao.

"Dad I swear it's nothing! You know me right? I'm your son."

Tinitigan niya lang ako, kaya sa tingin ko nauto ko na hehe.

Umupo na kami.

"I arrived here last week." said dad.

"Weks?"

"Weks? What is weks? What kind of word is weks?"

I rolled my eyes and said.

"'Really?' It means 'really?' I got 'weks' dito sa loob, sa mga tropa kong mga kosa."

"Salitang kriminal ka na talagang bata ka!!! Tambay!? Adik! Ha?" galit na sabi ni dad.

Medyo naiirita na 'ko sa tunog ng boses niya ewan ko ba kung bakit... tingin ko na high na naman ako dahil nag-weeds yung katabi ko kanina...

"What's wrong with you? What happened? PABIGAT KA SA BUHAY KO SUMAGOT KA!!!"

Napatayo ako. "Well dad! If you did something to get me out of here!!! Edi sana may konting respeto pa 'kong natitira dito sa sarili ko!!!"

Napatahimik kaming pareho.

"Dad nakikita mo ba 'ko!? Ha? Dad!!! Can you see your only son!!!? Damn you son of a bitch! Mukha na 'kong adik!!!"

Agad na tumayo si daddy at sinuntok ang mukha ko.

That time, inawat na kami ng mga pulis at pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao.

"Wala kang karapatang sabihan ako ng ganyan anak lang kita!!!!"

"No! Kung anak mo ko di mo ko matitiis na makita dito wala kang kwenta!!!"

Binalik na 'ko sa loob. Psss badtrip!!!

Sinuntok ko ang pader ng paulet-ulet!!! last week!? Nandito na siya last week!? Bakit ngayon niya lang naisipang dumalaw!? At bakit wala siyang ginagawang paraan para makalaya ako dito?

I sat on the floor and calmed myself. I closed my eyes and inhaled. Di ko pa rin kaya! Naaatat akong makalaya!

Pagdilat ko nasa tapat ko ang dad ko, sa labas ng cell.

He spoke with his calmed voice again.

"You deserve this son, it's your fault. You know, you're old enough to handle things like this. You should know what is right and bad! But what you do? It's not a joke, it's not funny!"
