I feel so tired when I got home. I saw my mom crying while my tatay is walking like a zombie with his hand in his head. What the hell is happening?
" What's with the worried faces?" i ask blankly. Napatingin naman si nanay sa pinto na pinasukan ko ng magsalita ako.
" Oh my god baby! Saan ka nangaling?" nanay ask with tears in her eyes.
" Dyan lang" baliwalang sagot ko.
" Yellhou Rainne? Alam mo ba yang sinasabi mo? Nawala ka ng isang gabi, na hindi manlang sinasabi kong nasaan ka nagpunta. Halos tawagan ko na lahat ng kaibigan mo, I even called your tito na ipahanap ka tapos iyan lang isasagot mo?" frustrated na saad ni tatay. I just look at him blankly at naglakad na papasok sa loob ng bahay. I don't want to speak nor to explain. What for?
" I am talking to you Rainne! Don't you dare na tumalikod sakin habang kinakausap kita." tatay said with a high voice. Seems like he's mad now.
" Tay I'm tired. Let me rest" i said without looking at them. Umakyat na ko sa hagdan papuntang kwarto ko when he spoke again.
" We are not yet done Rainne"
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako ng marinig ko ang hagulhol ni nanay. Well hindi ko naman pinagkakait sa kanilang mag alala. Its just that ayoko lang pansinin. I spend a month in hospital because of what happened. Ilang ulit din akong muntik magpakamatay kaya hindi ko sila masisi kung mag alala sila ng sobra. Pero sa ngayon? In my state I don't care on what other people feelings dahil ako yung mas nasaktan dito.
I charged my cellphone as i get in, in my room and opened it.
Some missed calls are from nanay and tatay pati na din si tito. Yung iba kila Drake and Katya. Marami ding messages pero hindi na ko nag abala pang basahin lahat yun.
I was preparing my clothes for taking a bath when my phone rings.
My forehead creased when i saw Drake's name.
" Yes?" i coldly ask as I pick the call.
" Oh thanks god sinagot mo din ang tawag ko, we are all worried when tito called us na nawaw-"
" I'm home" i cut in.
" Alam mo bang nag alala kaming lahat Rai? Where have you been ba ha? Alam mo bang halos mahimatay si tita ng malaman niyang nawawala ka na naman?" he said with so much emotions. At nabigla ako ng marinig ko na muntik ng mahimatay si nanay.
" I'm fine" i shortly said.
" Seriously Rai? Yan lang ang sasabihin mo?" hindi makapaniwalang saad niya. Ano pa bang gusto niyang sabihin ko? That i was with the guy who raped me 6 months ago in an isolated place and we cant go home because of the heavy rain at sira ang sasakyan niya. Yun ba yun?
" I'm tired Drake" sabi ko nalang sabay patay ng tawag at deretso sa cr para maligo.
I am already lying on my bed. Pinipilit kong matulog pero hindi ko magawa. I need to sleep para makapasok sa panghapon kong klase. Exam is already approaching hindi pwedeng lagi nalang akong aabsent. And foundation day is soon too.
Ayaw ko mang sumali sa swimming but i guess i need it to be a distraction para hindi makapag isip ng kung ano-ano.
At hindi ko namalayang nakatulog na pala ako.
" Yeri go with me" Preon said with a smile in his face.
" Where?" I also said smiling from ear to ear. Shit! Hindi ko talaga mapigilang kiligin sa lalaking to. Pano kase ngiti palang nakakalaglag panty na. hayop!
" Isla Danya will held a party mamaya. And I was invited. Well si Papa talaga yung invited pero dahil nasa Bacolod siya ngayon ako nalang ang pinapapunta niya."
" Ok sige ba. Ngayon na ba?" excited na tanong ko. Deym I love parties. " Uuwi lang ako sa bahay magpapalit lang ko"
" Nah, no need. You look fine" he said still smiling.
Tiningna ko naman ang suot ko. I was wearing a high waist short and a crop top. Well ok na to siguro.
" ok" i said na hindi manlang naalalang mag paalam muna sa ate ko.
When we got to that party it was so wild. Gosh i have in so many parties pero grabe to. I saw many boys and girls like in my age kissing each other in every corner. Dancing like is blurring my eyesight mabuti lang at mahigpit ang hawak sakin ni Preon kaya hindi ako natutumba pag may nababanga ako.
May mga waiters na naglilibot para magbigay ng drinks but unfamillar face of a guy go near us.
"Zero my friend! HOw are ya? Mabuti nakarating ka." nakangising bati niya. I smell something fishy to this guy.
" Yeah. Papa told me na ako dapat ang pumunta dito, seems like his right and I'm fine Lucas" nakangiting saad naman ni Preon. Why is he always smiling? Ang gwapo niya tuloy.
" Good to hear that! And who is this beautiful girl with you?" he look at me from head to toe na halos kilabutan ako when he look at me with lust. Shit! Subukan niya lang at makakatikim siya ng flying kick ko.
" She is Rainne, she's my date for tonight." sabi ni Preon at inilapit ako sa kanya ng mabuti at naramdaman kong mas humigpit ang kapit nya sa bewang ko. I guess nakita nya kung pano humagod sakin ang tingin ni Lucas.
" Well enjoy the night Zero." nakangisi ulit nitong sabi. " Here" sabi nya sabay aboy Preon ng isang baso na may laman atang alak pero hindi pamilyar sakin dahil iba ang kulay. Mukha itong kulay green na mukhan blue. Anu ba talaga?
" Thanks" Preon answered sabay abot dun sa baso at uminom ng konti na sana hindi niya pala ginawa.
