HE'S SPADE SALAZAR

CHAPTER 1

"He's calling through my cellphone, for the 20th times today..". Strumming my guitar makes me feel a special feeling. Very peaceful. Only the sound of my guitar and my cold voice can be heard in every corner of my room.

"Reading the text you sent me again though I memorize it anyway..",  Mas gusto ko talaga ang nag-iisa. Yung walang kahit anong sagabal at panira ng araw.

I supposed to sing the next lyrics when someone knocks at the door.

"Bullshit!", I claimed as I walk directly to the door while stamping my feet.

"Yes?", I raised my eyebrow as I see whose knocking. "What are you doing  here?", I said in a cold voice.

She gave me a warm smile. She looks at me as if she's remembering every inch of my face. "Can we talk to you?", She's my mom. I mean stepmom.

I just stare at her. Tumango sya sakin na senyas para sundan ko sya. Pumunta kami sa Main Library sa bahay kung saan madalas tumambay si Dad.

I saw him at his swivel chair. His hands are on the table while his fingers was intertwined. Such a professional gesture.

"What are you going to say? I'm in a hurry. I need to go somewhere",  I said in a bored tone. I'm in front of them. My Stepmom ask me to sit but I refuses. "This chitchat won't take so long. Tell me what you want to say. You only have 30 minutes..",  I look at my wristwatch.

"Is that the right way on how you talk with your parents?", he asked with authority.

"Parents? I'm sorry but I think your wrong. I don't have mother instead".  I rolled my eyes at him. I can see the disappointment on my stepmom's face. Really hurt, huh?.

He takes a deep breath. Then he looks straight into my eyes. "You still have me and your stepmom",.

Natawa ako ng mahina. Bago umiling iling. " Mula noong iwan mo si Mom at ilayo mo ko sa kanya hindi na kita tinuring bilang ama. Dahil dyan, nawalan ka na ng karapatan na tawagin akong ANAK!",  I said with full of authority.

"Pagtatalunan pa ba natin 'to?",  sya ang nagsimula tapos tatanungin nya ako? Seriously?.

I just gave him a smirk. Tiningnan ko si Dad, naghihintay para sa sasabihin nya. "Anything to say? 5 minutes na ang nasasayang kong oras. ",  he stand up but he's still on his position.

"From now on, hindi ka na dito titira sa pamamahay na ito. Mabubuhay kang mag-isa. ", may kinuha syang libro. Hindi ko alam kung para saan yon. But still, i don't care.

"Great! Kelan at saan?", masiglang tugon ko with matching palakpak pa.

"Ipapadala kita sa Devil Society. Since pakikipag away lang naman ang alam mo sa buhay. Mas maigi na doon ka na tumira para matuto ka ng leksyon mo!", he said with full of authority.  Ang Devil Society ay isang prohibitadong lugar kung saan walang sino mang normal na tao ang nakakaalam nito. Maliban nalang sa mga pamilya ng Mafias, Gangs, o kahit sino na konektado sa pagpatay. Puro mayayamang pamilya ang mga nakatira dito.

"WHAT THE--------! You can't do this to me! I can accept your decision to let me free and live with my own life but i can't accept the fact that you will send me in that hell city. You really wanted me to die,huh? You really wanted to make my life miserable as yours!", halos hingalin ako sa walang tigil na pagsasalita.

"Ikaw ang gumawa ng dahilan para gawin ko sayo ang mga bagay na ito, Erin. Yung sinasabi mong ginagawa kong miserable ang buhay mo? Matagal nang miserable ang buhay mo,  Anak. Kung marunong ka lang sanang umintin-------", i cut him off.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP DAD! BUT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT I WILL NOT LET YOU TO BRING ME THERE! AS IN NEVER!", I said then turm my back at him and walked away.

But before I already leave the library i heard him say something. "Whether you like it or not too, I will send you to Devil City with my own plan. And you can't do anything with it". Then i slam the door.
