Hallway on the Second Floor

The Apartment

Kuyemi's POV

"Lumayas ka dito! Wala ka nang pakinabang... patay na ang ama mo so wala ka nang karapatan sa pamamahay na 'to." Sabi ng stepmother ko habang tinatapon aa labas ang mga gamit ko.

"Tita! Please I'm begging.... wala na po akong ibang matutuluyan and besides ito nalang ang naiwan sakin ni Daddy. Please I also had the right's for this house. We owned this, my father own this property." Sabi ko habang umiiyak. I need to do this wala akong ibang mapupuntahan.

Pero imbis na pagbigyan ako ay isang malakas na sampal ang dumampi sa may pisngi ko. The nerve of this old woman... noon paman ay gusto nya na akong paalisin sa pamamahay na to para wala na syang kaagaw sa kayamanan ng pamilya ko. Di ko akalaing aabot kami sa ganito.

"Well, I don't care. And as far as I know walang iniwan na kahit ano sayo ang tatay mo... the Last Will and Testament says that ALL of your father's property and money are ALL mine. Wala akong pakialam kung saan ka pulutin hahaha wala na rin naman magagawa ang tatay mo because he's already dead." Tawa lang sya ng tawa. It seems like her happiness is endless. Well, sa tingin ko ay wala na nmn akong magagawa so I better pack my things and leave this place.

Patalikod na sana ako ng...

"Wait! Kuyemi..."
"Take this... sorry sa kademenyohan ng nanay ko ha... sorry this is the least I can do for you. BTW this is my calling card.. call me if you need something. Goodbye and sorry."

Pumasok na sya sa loob. Tiningnan ko ang binigay nya. It's a handbag full of money and there's a letter on it.

"Hey Kuyemi...

       I know time will come na hahantong tayo sa ganito and I already make ipon so that I can help you. This is worth 50 thousand pesos. I hope it can help you a lot. Goodbye and thankyou for the friendship. Don't forget me huh!

Tears kept on falling through my cheeks. I can't help it but I'm really glad that I had her. MY BESTFRIEND. 50 thousand is a great help. I owe her this one.

I started walking even I don'r know where I am heading to. Masyadong magulo ang buhay ko, ang sitwasyon ko. But all I need this time ay isang matutulugan and dapat mura lang para mahatipid ako. Maghahanap na din ako ng trabaho para may pangtustos ako sa sarili ko.

Oww! I haven't introduce myself yet. Well, I am Kuyemi Mritz Agio. Only child and my mother died after giving birth. And we are wealthy yeah... we had a lot of properties and businesses. I don't have any realtives. Di ko alam pero ni isa walang pinakilala si papa sakin na kamag anak namin. Until one day he met my stepmother. I was only 14 years old that time. My father fall in love with her. Hanggang sa nag pakasal sila and I discover na meron na parin syang anak kapareho ko ng edad and babae din sya. At first akala ko masama ugali nya but I was wrong she is so kind. From then on naging magkaibigan kami.

Years passed and our 18 birthday comes. We celebrated birthday's together and that's it. Pagkatapos ng pag blow ng candles ay nangyari ang pinaka karumaldumal na pangyayari sa tanan ng buhay ko.

We heard a gun shot. And to my surprice the bullet hits my father's chest. We tried to survive him but it was declared as dead on arrival. I've mourn for almost a month. Si daddy nalang ang meron ako but now he's gone.

I felt some hot liquid rushing through my cheeks. Agad ko itong pinunas. This is reality. Wala na sya, iniwan nya na ako... mag isa nalang ako sa mapaglarong mundong ito.

Natauhan ako ng may malamig na simoy na hangin ang dumpi aa mga braso ko. Malapit na palang dumilim. I really need to find a place kung saan pwedeng magpalipas ng gabi. Hanggang sa napalingon ako sa kaliwa ko ang then I saw a signage na nakapagpangiti sakin.
