Everything was still very vivid in my mind. Every single detail. Every single thought. Every single feeling that I've felt.
I couldn't find myself at that moment.
Yet six young men found me.
I've never thought it was real.
I've never thought Never...

That night, as I lay on my bed, all I could think of is Mommy. The beautiful lady I lost years ago. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon ay mas lalo lamang ako nangungulila sa kanya.
Although I was just a little kid before, I can still remember how sweet her voice was. She likes singing children songs to me 'til I sleep. And in the morning when I wake up, the first thing I'll get to see was her smiling face.
She'll help me prepare for school then after that, we will enter the dining hall together. And there we'll be welcomed by Daddy who's reading a newspaper. Tatakbo ang batang ako patungo sa kanya upang patakan ng halik ang kanyang pisngi. Maririnig ang malalim na tawa niya at yayakapin ako ng mahigpit. Mom will join us afterwards.
I, indeed, had a happy and perfect family. And even if I wish in countless stars, it will never turn back the way it used to be. Hindi na magbabago pa ang kasalukuyan. All I can do now is to accept the fact that I no longer have a fairytale life. There's a zero percent chance for me having a happy ever after.
That supposed to be happy ever after of mine was stolen by a witch and her daughter.
Dinama ko ang sugat sa pisngi na siyang ginamot ni Delila kanina. Pagkatapos daluhan ni Daddy si Genevieve ay mabilis akong tumayo at nag-martsa pabalik sa kwarto ko.
Kaya ko pang tiisin ang presensiya ng anak niya sa mismong pamamahay ko pero ang kabit niya? I couldn't bear it. Mamamatay muna ako bago ako makisalamuha sa bruha'ng 'yon.
Knowing that she intruded into our home, makes me sick more and more. Ang kapal ng mukha niya para tumira pa rito.
Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata nang maramdaman ang pangingilid ng luha ko dahil sa matinding galit.
Tumayo ako mula sa aking kama at lumapit sa walk in closet ko. I grabbed the duffel bag I usually use whenever I'm going to the gym to exercise. I filled it with clothes and undergarments. Pagkatapos ay nagsuot ako ng makapal na hoodie sweater at sweatpants.
I entered the passcode of my mini vault. As soon as I saw the stash of cash and cards, tears welled up on my eyes. These all came from Mommy. Ang sabi ni Daddy, pinagbubuntis niya pa lang ako ay nag-iipon na siya para sa future ko. Hanggang sa ipinanganak ako at namatay siya, hindi siya tumigil sa pag-iisip ng para sa kapakanan ko.
Bullets of tears fell from my eyes as I put all the cards in my wallet and the piles of cash inside a pouch then placed it inside the duffel bag.
I roamed my eyes around my room for the last time, bag on my shoulder, while fixing my hair into a messy bun.
Isa lang ang nasa isipan ko sa mga sandaling iyon.
If this is what Dad really wants, then I'll let him be. I won't rain on their parade anymore.
Tahimik akong lumabas ng aking kwarto at bumaba sa grand staircase na hindi gumagawa ng anumang ingay. Hating gabi na kaya paniguradong tulog na ang mga kasambahay, si Delila, at sina Daddy.
