Photographs of Her

3. Her identity and authority

OCEAN'S POV

All I can feel right now was the warm embrace of Kendrick making me feel safe and sound, as if nothing can harm me anymore.

Maya-maya pa ay kusa akong humiwalay sa yakap nya para ilabas ang phone ko, dahil alam kong hinihintay nila ako.

I quickly dialed Kuya Wave's number because his number is on recent call logs. Shaking a bit, I put my phone beside my ear. In just a ring, Kuya Wave answered,I cleared my throat to prevent my voice from shaking but I failed because I started crying again.

"Hello?!"Sigaw ni Kuya Wave sa kabilang linya. Alam kong nagaalala na sya dahil naririnig nya ang hikbi ko. "K-kuya h-help." That's what I just said on the phone. And moments after that, teachers started coming, followed by my family, headed by my father whose now wearing a very deadly serious face. All of my brothers were looking furiously as if they have the urge to wage war anytime now. Shore and Coral were not here so as Ate Jade. Mom looked so worried and mad.

The intensity of madness in their eyes fired up more when they saw me. Kuya Wave who's now wearing nothing to hide his face ran to me and enveloped me with a tight protective hug.

Nagulat pa ang nga teacher ng makita ang pamilya ko lalo na si Kuya Wave.

"What happened Princess?" Kuya Reef seriously but worriedly asked. I was about to answer while crying when Kendrick butt in.

"Ah? Sir, if you would mind. She was harassed, by Cinco Cruz."

"WHAT?!" sabay sabay na sigaw nila Kuya at Daddy. "Where is that man?" Daddy calmly asked, making the teachers search the area in rush.

"H-he's there." I pointed the girl's CR where I was harassed. Kuya Lake immediately went inside and came out dragging the man who barged in earlier.

"Call the Police right now Atlanna." Daddy authoritatively said to Mom.

"U-uh. Mr.Alegre we deeply applogize for what happen, please spare Riverdale from this embarassment." A teacher pleadingly said. Making Dad glance at him angrily.

"What did you say?! Embarassment?! Can you even hear yourself?! Look at my daughter! Look at her!!" Sigaw ni Daddy dahilan para mapapitlag ang guro.

"I cannot believe this is happening right now." Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Kuya Reef.

"Tell us what exactly happened,Ocean Aquiesha." Ani Daddy habang nakatitig ng seryoso sa mga guro na ngayon ay mukhang takot at kabado.

"I-I w-was about to go to the parking when I felt that I want to pee. I saw this comfort room on the way so I went to take a leak. I removed my braids that's why I took a little time,but to my shock. T-that m-man barged in looking like a big pervert and a creep, I told him that he might be mistaken because he's in the girl's CR. But what made me so scared was when he told me me that he's not in the wrong CR because he's there for me. I was about to go out when he pulled me and pushed on the wall, he kissed me on my neck and covered my mouth harshly, I f-felt so harassed and perverted when he did that I felt so weak... and then Kendrick came in he saved me and punch that creep."

"You kissed her?" Nagpipigil sabi ni Kendrick. He was about to lash out and punch Cinco when Kuya Reef stopped him by holding him on the arms.

"Don't make him feel the pain boy, let the pain make him feel it." Daddy darkly said, making Kendrick calm down. A bit later police came, pinapunta kami sa principal office para ron magusap.

"Who are your parents? Call them right now. Don't make us wait." Daddy commanded Cinco who's face was now getting treated by the nurse, paga ang mukha nya at may black eye pa, si Kendrick lang ang sumuntok sakanya pero ganon ang nangyare.
