Figments of You

Chapter 2

Miggy's POV

I was lying on my bed when someone knocked the door. And so I get up and immediately open and saw a beautiful lady standing in front of the door.

She was wearing a simple yet elegant rose colored lace dress. With not much make-up on her face, you can clearly see how beautiful her face. Her hair flowed in wave and it was a rich brown in shade. Her eyes were small and bright brown that can brighten up your day. She has this beautiful nose that matches her face. She smiled like the world would sigh with contentment. She's the nicest person I've ever met and she has a lot of patience too. She's also smart and kind to others. She'll do anything for her love ones. She looked so perfect. No, she's perfect.

Pero kahit gaano pa sya ka-perfect, nagawa nya pa rin kaning iwan.

"Mom"

"Leandro, can we talk?"

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me with that name?!" I hate that name.

"I'm tired. You can-"

"Anak, please.." Shit. Ayoko ng ganito.

"Can't you understand? I said I'm ti-"

"You're dad is very ill, Leandro." Tch. Dapat lang sakanya yun.

"And so?"

"He needs you, anak. Please do visit him." Parang gusto kong matawa sa sinabi nya.

"Well? I don't need him." I said with a blank expression on my face.

Mom let out a big sigh.

"What should I do para pumayag ka?" Really mom? How can you be so nice to him after all that he's done to us!

"Wala. Wala namang kwenta yun. Why bother?"

"How can you say that? Baka nakakalimutan mong ama mo pa din sya!" Kitang kita ko pa din sa mata nya na mahal nya pa din yung taong yun.

"Baka nakakalimutan mo ding iniwan nya tayo? Kung mamamatay sya, edi mamatay na sya! I'm sure naman na nandoon ang babae nya sa libing nya!"

Without a word, she lifted her hand and slapped across my face. Vibration and sting spread on my cheek as my head snapped to the right side facing the wall. A sharp pain hit me, leaving a sensation on my face.

"Kung wala syang kwentang ama, wala ka ding kwentang anak."

With her lip pressing tight and the look of her teary eyes. she stormed out of my room with full of disappointments.

Pumunta muna ako sa balcony ng room para magpahangin. Gabi na, pero kapansin pansing walang mga bituin sa langit.

"Parang buhay ko lang, madilim." Looking to the sky, my memories from the past, flashed through my mind.

"Yehey! It's Sunday, my favorite day! Can't wait to see daddy! I should ready myself for the mass."

I walked out of my room and went to Mommy and Daddy's room. I was halfway close, when I heard loud voices from this far and got scared..

"What's happening?"

And so I walked slowly, and heard mommy's crying.

"Leonardo, please don't leave us.. Please! I'm begging you!" Daddy's leaving?

I went closer to the door and saw my mommy kneeling down the floor.

"I can't take this anymore, Margarette! Alam mong hindi kita mahal! Hindi ko na kaya makisama pa sa fix marriage na 'to!"

Fix marriage? Ano yun?

"What about us? What about Leandro?!"

I-I don't understand... Anong nangyayari?

"I will take Leandro with me." Daddy said while looking to the window.

"No! You can't do that! Please don't to that to me!" Mommy burst into tears.

I don't want to see mommy crying.

"Mommy... Please don't cry..."

They both looked at me with shocked expressions on their faces.

I run into my mom and hug her tight.

"I love you, Mommy.. Please stop crying.."

She wrapped her arms around me. Her embrace was warm, her big arms seemed protective when wrapped around my small body. I squeezed her back, not wanting to this moment end.

"Come on, Leandro." He removed mommy's arms around me and took me out of the room. I saw her fell down and hit her knees on the floor. It hurts me.

"I'll bring you to your new home."

And that's where my hell life begins.
