Chapter 4
Ignore
It's already six in the evening when I got home. And as expected, wala pa rin sila dito.
I decided to take a bath muna since sobra yung pawis ko kanina kakaiyak sa puntod ni Justine
Luckily hindi pa ulit sumasakit yung dibdib ko unlike last-last week na sobrang sikip niya to the point na akala ko bibigay na yung buong katawan ko.
After washing myself in-open ko naman yung social media account ko and as expected nag boom yung messenger ko nang mga messages and questions kung bakit bigla akong nag walk out during the last question of the debate.
From: Ava Saniel
Ghorl! What happened?! I'm so worried abt you! :( pls reply asap.From: Christopher Chua
Hey Jas! r u okay? Hope you're fine! If you have a problem feel free to open up! Cheer up! :)I also noticed a message request from Ms. Jessiry
From: Jessiry Dela Cruz
Hey Jasmine! r u okay? I'm so sorry If my question offended you.:(Nireplyan ko silang tatlo but then I decided na iignore na lang yung ibang messages from others. I know they just acting that they cared for me but I'm pretty sure that they all laugh and talk negative things at my back.
After reading messages inopen ko naman yung twitter ko.
I posted'Fighting!' With a fist emoji
After checking all my social media accounts and stalking Justin na wala naman update I decided to take a nap muna cu'z im sure mamaya pang eight uuwi sila mom and dad.
It's Eight in the evening when I wake up and sakto lang nung narinig ko ang busina ng sasakyan sa labas ng bahay namin. A sign na nakauwi na sila
I immediately rise from my bed and brush my hair before going downstairs
"Yaya! Is dinner ready?" I heard my mom said
"Yes madame tatawagin ko lang po si mam Jasmine" pag papaalam naman ni yaya
I didn't hear my mom respond to what she said
"No need to call me yaya. Nandito na po ako" I said while going downstairs
"Ayan na po pala madame si mam Jasmine" Yaya Selina chuckled
"I see." mommy rose her brows didn't bother to glance at me. She's just looking at her phone reading some emails.
"Hi Mommy" I greeted her and give her a beso on her cheeks
My mom just nodded. It's okay to me. Nasanay naman na ako sa ganyang treatment nya saken. Sila ni dad.
Speaking of Dad, I saw him entered the house. Maybe he parked the car before coming here that's why mommy came first.
"Hi daddy!" I run to his direction
I was about to hug him and give him a kiss on the cheeks but he motioned me to stop. I heard his phone rang and he immediately answer it.
I just smile. Lagi naman eh
But, even if ganito yung treatment nila sakin, hindi ko parin magawang magalit sakanila. I know malaki yung kasalanan ko sakanila and galit sila sakin.
But I'm still thankful cu'z they dressed me up, feed me and niluwal nila ako sa mundong ito.
Thinking about other childrens na Pinapabayaan na ng parents nila and hinayaan nalamang silang palaboy laboy sa daan. Some invoved to the crimes at a very young age and learn how to use drugs.
That's why i'm still thankful. I just hope na mapatawad din nila ako kasi di ko rin naman ginusto yung nangyari sa kakambal ko.
I just get back to my seat and start to eat dinner.
"Okay Mr Santiago... Yes! No problem!.... Okay.... Ipapadala ko nalang yung check sa secretary ko... Sige... Bye" then my dad hung up the call.
"What's that Hon?" Mom asked him
"It's Mr Santiago, asking for a donations for his movement about mental health awareness for the youth." He answered and start eating
"Oh! It's good! I like his movement about mental heath awareness for the youth! there's a lot of youth kasi who's now undergoing anxiety or depression! cu'z they can't open up to their parents. So Support him hon!" My mom said while clapping her hands
How ironic.
Tumikhim ako to catch my parents attention. They want a children who opens up to their parents, maybe it's now a time to tell them my condition.
"Ahhm Mom and Dad... I just want to tell you something." I started
Nagulat naman ako sa biglaan na pagbabago ng mood ni mommy.
Nanlilisik ang mga mata nito habang nakatingin saakin.
"Hay nako Jasmine! Alam ko na yung sasabihin mo. Ava called me a while ago and asking where are you! bigla ka daw kasing nag walk out sa debate mo kanina!" my mom exclaimed
My dad sighs
"Well you know what Jasmine? If hindi mo naman kaya dapat hindi ka na sumali! Simpleng question lang hindi pa masagot! You're such a disgrace to our family!" my dad added
I just bow my head. I know na makakarating ito sakanila malaki ang share nila sa school ko kaya I know na tatawag agad ang school sakanila to report what happened earlier.
Hindi ko lang magets kung bat kay Ava pa nila nalaman. Maybe she's just worried talaga kaya tumawag na siya kay mom. Hoping na alam ng parents ko kung saan ako pumunta
"Im so sorry mom and dad about what happened earlier but it's not what I meant to sa--" I was not able to finish my sentence when my mom put the spoons to the table drastically then stood up.
"Mygod Jasmine! I agree to what your father said! You're such a disgrace to our family! The Cuaresma known as brilliant yet you can't even answer one fucking question! Excuse me! I lost my appetite!" my mom said then walk out
"Dad listen to me plea--" umiling lang siya the disappointment evident to his face
Then his phone ring again. He stand up and answer his phone call.
"Hello Mr Santiago? Do you have any further question?"
Then he walk out.
How Ironic.
Very Ironic.
'You're such a disgrace to our family'
I just laugh when I remember what they told me.
Am I disgrace to our family?
Am I?
Well maybe I am.
I am such a disgrace to our family.
Maybe magiging masaya sila pag nawala na ako. From now on I promise to myself na hindi na nila malalaman ang tungkol sa kundisyon ko.
Hindi na ako mag attempt na sabihin sakanila.
Never.
Hindi rin naman ata kasi sila interisado.
Konti nalang... Konting konti nalang....
xXx
