Living in the Dark

Prologue

Back then, when I was still at a young age. I always think of thoughts about the bad queens, or witches in the fairy tales that I always watch or read. Gustong-gusto kong maipakita rin nila yung point of view ng mga kontrabida. Na, bakit nga ba nila ginagawa yun? Are their intentions bad or not? Will they be happy with their decisions?

Sawang-sawa na kasi ako sa mga palabas, tulad ng may mga kabit kabit. Lagi na lang nilang ipinapakita yung side 'nung tunay na asawa, and then of course, sila 'yung kakampihan ng audience. Without even knowing the side of the mistress or third wheel. Para sa akin, wala namang babaeng ginustong mapunta sa sitwasyong tulad 'nun. Well, not just in those kind of shows with those genres, others as well.

I was so happy when the movie "Maleficent" was aired. First day of showing, I was already at the cinema watching it. And indeed, the bad queens are the ones in the tower who was never saved by her prince.

But little did they know, without even one villain showing up in a story, it's plot will be plain, boring and dull. Parang sa ulam lang, kung walang pampalasa or spice, walang thrill. Walang kulay at nakakasawa agad yung pagkain.

But there is always these questions popping out in my head. What if one day, ako na yung kontrabida? The bad queen or even the mistress? I know this world is cruel, unfair and of course, judgemental. But this curiousity living inside me won't stop until it gets what it wants.

And so, I became one.
