Chapter 26

Broken

Take me to the time when things were fine, it's all broken now.

I have no one... No family, no friends, and no Mac. All I have now is myself. I'm left alone with all the problems and sorrows, but that's okay.

Ngayon ay papunta na ako sa probinsya... Kung saan ako nagsimula. Kung saan ako nararapat.

My Dad is now in jail and he disowned me. The headmistress decided to expel me at Garnet Academy... Wala na akong mapupuntahan pa.

All I have now is the money I've won at the Halloween Party and I don't know how long this will last.

Babalik ako sa probinsya dahil napag-alamanan ko sa dating kaibigan na ipinagkatiwala raw sa kanila ang bahay ng aking Lola. They said that I could stay there.

Wala na akong buhay sa siyudad. I'm going back to where I belong. Maghahanap ako ng trabaho at mag-aaral ulit kung papalarin. Bahala na sa ngayon.

Habang nakasakay sa bus ay nagtagal ang mga mata ko sa bintana at tinignan ang tanawin.

I will always remember all the good times. I will keep it inside my heart. Paige will forever be my best friend even if she doesn't want to. Mackenzee will always be a part of me even if he doesn't care anymore.

I can wipe the tears in my eyes, but I can't wipe the pain in my heart.

Everything that had happened is still very clear to me.

I saw Mac's eyes. I saw it. I never saw him as angry as that.

Panay ang tulo ng mga luha ko. Hinayaan ko na ang sarili kong dakipin ng mga pulis. Wala na akong magagawa. I have to face this.

"May kinalaman ka ba sa nangyaring kidnapping?" iyon ang unang tanong ng pulis sa akin.

Agad akong umiling. Wala akong alam. I tried to stop my father, but he did not listen.

"Pero bakit ka nandoon sa insidente? Anong ginagawa mo roon? Paano mo nalaman ang tungkol doon?" sunod-sunod ang tanong no'ng pulis.

My tears started to fall again. It's non-stop. I'm in pain.

"Ms. Chen, this is an interrogation. We need answers, not tears." madiin na sabi no'ng pulis.

I tried so hard to pull myself together.

"M-my Dad... He wasn't the person that I thought he was. H-he's cruel." panimula ko. "Nagpunta siya sa GA. He's there because he has a plan. He wants to take two of the highest ranking Flamma."

There's really no turning back now. My Dad deserves to be in jail. Kung pati ako, 'di bali na. Ang importante ay makukulong siya. Dapat lang iyon dahil masama siyang tao. Dapat lang na pagbayaran niya ang lahat ng ito.

"We were talking. Tapos biglang tumunog iyong phone niya, saglit niyang binasa iyong text message. And then he smiled. I know that smile of him..." saad ko. "Tapos sinabi niya sa akin na hawak niya na ang dalawa sa pinakamataas na Flamma. At that very moment, I wanted to run. I wanted to tell the headmistress, I wanted to ask for help..."

Nanunubig na naman ang mga mata ko pero pinipigilan ko ang sarili.

"Nagsagutan pa kami. I told him na itigil niya ang kahibangan niya, but he is so determined. Hanggang sa umalis na siya at hindi ako pinakinggan manlang." sabi ko. "Kaya agad akong tumakbo para humingi ng tulong kay Lancer. Dahil alam kong siya lang ang may kakayanang matulungan ako."
