He Broke Me First

Chapter 1

"Syrbia, nand'yan ka na pala," bungad ni manang pagkabukas niya ng gate.

"Nasaan po sila Mama?" tanong ko.

Hapon na nang maka-uwi ako galing ospital. Naihatid na rin namin si Zea sa bahay nila. Hinabol ko pa 'yong lalaki sa rooftop kanina, hindi ko naman na naabutan.

But until now, I was still frustrated. That isn't my first kiss, yes! But that's the first time I experienced a damn french kiss and worst, sa hindi ko pa kilala! I exhaled an air. Nakakainis.

"Nandoon sa loob at pinagagalitan na naman ang Papa mo." Manang gestured me to go inside. Pumasok ako sa loob ng bahay at naabutan sila Mama na pababa ng hagdan.

"Baka naman iba ang tinrabaho mo kagabi kaya anong oras ka na nakauwi!" My mother said while she was walking down the stairs with my father behind her back.

"Mahal naman, may sinurveilance lang kami kagabi," sagot ni Papa habang pinipilit hawakan ang kamay niya.

Napailing na lang ako, sanay na sa ganitong scenario nilang dalawa. Maya-maya naman okay na sila.

"Malaman ko lang talaga, Symon! Hindi ako magdadalawang isip na putulin yang kaligayahan mo!"

Umakyat na lang ako sa kwarto sa taas at hindi na sila pinansin. I knew my mother. Ayokong madamay sa inis niya kay Papa. I didn't want to be scolded by her. I can't bear another headache.

When I opened the door of my room, I saw Coleen, my 7 years old sister dancing in front of her iPad's camera. "Wow, tiktokerist," I mocked. She looked at me before rolling her eyes.

"I used your liptint," Coleen informed me. Saka ko lang napansin ang namumula niyang labi. Lumapit ako at pinitik ang noo niya.

"Ouch!" She yelled then caressed her forehead. "Isusumbong kita kay Mama!"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

Coleen glared at me. "What if magka-scar ako? Gosh." She dramatically inhaled an air before stepping out of our room. I shook my head. Ang arte.

Nagpahinga lang ako saglit bago tumayo para mag-shower. Inabot ako ng 20 minutes sa loob ng CR. Nagbihis ako ng short at white over size shirt pagkatapos bago bumaba para kumain.

"Papa, si ate she pulled my hair po kanina. I don't know why. I was just dancing lang naman po." I heard Coleen whispering while we were eating dinner. When did I pull her hair? I just flicked her forehead! How could a 7 years old girl be this witch?

I swallowed the food on my throat. "When did I do that?" I raised a brow. "Do you want me to pull your tongue out your mouth?"

She furrowed her brows before making a face. Bakit ba sumobra naman ng maldita 'to? I wasn't like this when I was a child. Where the hell did she get that attitude?

"Ano na naman 'yan? Kayong dalawa hindi na kayo nagkasundo, kung magpatayan na lang kaya kayo?" Si Mama na kagagaling lang sa kusina.

Binaba ni Papa ang hawak niyang kubyertos. "Ikaw ang matanda, Syrbia. Hindi mo dapat pinapatulan ang kapatid mo."

Tumango na lang ako at hindi na nagsalita para matapos na at makakain na 'ko nang tuloy-tuloy. Coleen smiled at me when I looked at her, mocking me. I really wanted to pull her hair this time.

After finishing the dinner, I went upstairs so I could rest already. I brushed my teeth and do my night skincare routine before going to bed. I sighed, remembering the things that happened today. Ugh. Sobrang stressful.

Saktong humarap ako sa kabilang side ng kama nang pumasok si Coleen. Hawak niya ang iPad niya nang humiga siya sa sarili niyang kama. We're sleeping in the same room. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay nang tinignan niya ako.
