"Caecee, let's go now! It's getting late! Mom will be mad if we didn't show up." I gave her a bored look.
"Tss. Go ahead! I don't want to go. Too lazy for that." Nakita ko namang bumagsak ang mga balikat niya.
"Ayaw mo talaga? *Sigh*" tanong niya. I looked at her.
"Look, I don't want to go. Okay? I'm pretty sure he'll be there too. So, please. Leave.me.alone" I turned my back and went to my room.
I really don't want to go. Alam naman niya ang dahilan kung bakit. I'm sure that he'll be there. I grabbed my earphones and put it in my ears. I closed my eyes. It's been years, and still the pain is still there. I don't want to see him this early. Hindi ko tanggap. Hindi ko pa kayang makita siya. Masisira lang araw ko.
"Don't tell me you need me.... If you don't believe it....."
I know mamita will understand. Alam naman niya. I don't know kung bakit pa niya siya ininvite gayong alam naman niya hindi ako komportable whenever he's near. Few moments passed before I heard someone knocked. I hope it's not her.
"Caecee? You really don't want to come?" Bakas sa tono niyang malungkot siya.
Tss.
"Mom called. She's asking bakit wala pa tayo doon? I said that you don't want to come. It's okay daw, she understand. Aalis lang ako, ha! And please, Don't do anything stupid. I'll be back in an hour." I heard her foot steps. Haist.
Don't to anything stupid?! Ha! It's not even in my list. She's still the same. They are all the same. Anong Akala nila sa'kin tanga?! Psh. It doesn't mean na porket ginawa ko dati ay gagawin ko ulit. I'm not fucking stupid to do it again and again and again. I moved on. Hindi ba nila makita?!
I opened my laptop and suddenly a video popped up.
' Happy Birthday Cae-Cae! Happy Birthday Cae-Cae! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday Sweetie!---- Happy Birthday baby sweetie. I love you very much! Hmmm, you're growing old now but you're still my baby sweetie. I love you. I love you. I love you. Mommy, loves you very very much. Don't forget me, huh? I miss you. Muah! Happiest Birthday to my sweet little Cae-Cae.'
I wiped my tears when the video ended. I love you too, Mom. I would never forget you. I promise, I will get the justice that you deserve.
It's been what? Six years?
It's been six long fucking years since the day she—THEY left me. I would never forget the reason, bakit ako naging ganito, ngayon. Today is the day. The memory is still vivid in my mind. It feels like it just happened yesterday.
FLASHBACK
"Mom, I want an ice cream." She looked at me.
