❝ Our Story Behind Bars ❞
"Case closed!" hinampas na ng panot na manunukom ang kaniyang maso na naglilitis na ako ang may sala. Difinitely I'm not the culprit. Im just framed up. It is my dad's accompany who leads me to this. He's a freak.
"P-puwedeng m-makiupo?" tanong ng babaeng nakatayo sa aking harapan. Looks like she has the age as mine.
"You may" nilibot ko ng paningin ang paligid. Okyupado na pala lahat ng lamesa sa canteen. Itong lamesa ko lang ang walang katao tao, maliban saken.
"S-salamat. A-I'm Ch-Charmaine." akala ko nung una nahiya lang siya kaya nauutal. I was wrong. Dulot siguro ito ng trauma. Pero bakit nandito siya sa preso? Diba dapat nasa hospital siya kung ganun. I think she's having a speaking issues. Lul may ganun ba.
"I'm Kyle" matipid talaga ako sumagot. I have this habit not talking more with stranger.
"B'bago k'kalang ba d'dito?" I nod.
"Ngayon l'lang kasi kita n'nakita. Anong kaso m'mo" ang daldal pala nito haha. She's cute although ganyan siya magsalita but her voice is so angelic..... fvck Kyle what was that? Ugh— nvm.
"A-ah kyle"
"Ay sorry. Ano nga ulit yun?" tanga, tanga mo naman Kyle.
"Anong k'kaso mo sabi" she chuckled.
"Kidnapping. But trust me I was framed up." ngumiti siya na parang sinasabing Naiintindihan-kita.
"Nagplano kaming dalawa ng nobya ko na magtanan that night. Narinig pala yun ng kasambahay at sinumbong kay Dad. Nakatakda kasi akong i-fix marriage sa anak ng kaibigan ng Dad ko for merging ng companies. Ahmm—sorry Charmaine. Ang daldal ko ba haha." we both giggled.
"S'sige pagpatuloy mo lang."
"Ah-okay sige *smiles*. Natuloy ang plano namin pero makailang araw pinuntahan kami ng mga pulis at kinasuhan ako ng mga magulang ni Mary Jane—my girlfiend. I dont know pero hinayaan ako ni Dad na makulong. He dont care at me anymore. I think." I sighed.
"Ikaw anong kaso mo?"
"Murder. I dont know why. They just acuse me for killing the wife of my Auntie. I am orphan and I'm with my Aunt. One day, I saw her talking someone on the telephone. Nagpaplano s'silang p'patayin a'ako but—"
"Sorry to hear that." I wipe her tears with my thumb.
"It's ok"
"I didn't mean that. Sorry. " fvck it. Girl's tears is my weakness. It started when I see my mom begging for help with her tears. She's suffering pain due to leukemia but I was there and I did nothing.
"Ang bakla mo Kyle. Ikaw naman ang umiiyak HAHAHA" pinunasan ko agad ang mga luha sa mukha ko.
She's a stranger but I think excempted siya sa 'less talk to stranger' ko.
"Sa gwapo kong 'to bakla? Hell no haha"I don't know but since that day I am enjoying my life inside the bars.
Gumaan agad ang loob ko sa kaniya. First time in my entire life. I am with the girl without any awkward moment. Knowing a girl strong and independent like her. She's awesome. Although she's a prisoner.
"Upo muna tayo, Kyle. Sariwa ng hangin oh" hinila niya ko papunta sa isang bench sa tabi ng puno. Kakatapos lang ng friday mass namin with Padre Salveña. One way to change yourself is to accept god with you daw sabi ni Padre.
"Ouy mangga. Kuha mo ko, please" sa linggong pamamayani ko dito sa selda kasabay ng pagkasanay kong kasama si Cha-cha —Charmaine's nickname, nawala na din ang pautal-utal niyang pananalita. Big growth.
