Behind The Portrait

01

I was awaken when i heard Faith's voice,screaming my name. I held my phone to check the time,when i saw it's still six in the morning i muffled a curse to stop myself slapping Faith's face for waking me up!.

Bumangon ako sa pagkahiga tsaka kinuha ang aking salamin sa side table at sinuot. Faith entered my room.

"ABBY GISING NA!" Sigaw nito. Damn,her voice made my ears damaged.

"Faith,please stop shouting. Naririnig kita,hindi ako bingi! And for goodness sake it's still six in the morning!" I said. Nakapamewang si Faith sa aking harapan habang tinitingnan ako. She smiled widely.

"How can you be so pretty kahit kakagising mo lang?what's the secret ba fren?"now her voice was normal.

When we were still kids,faith became my best friend because of her loud voice,we were very opposite. She's very loud and i was just quiet,well not too quiet though i even talked with the people i know. She's the daughter of Tita Melanie and Tito Rafie,ang mag asawang kumupkop sa akin simula nung namatay ang aking parents. Remembering that night makes myself a criminal. I wanted so bad to hunt the others para patayin lamang. I want them to expirience their selves covered with their own blood.

"Wala akong ginagamit Faith." Inaantok kong saad. "Go outside,i'm still sleepy!" Bumalik ako sa pagkakahiga at tinalukbong ang sarili gamit ang kumot.

Hinila nya ang kumot tsaka sinampal ang aking binti. Napalakas ata punyeta!.

"Gaga ka! Nakalimutan mo na ba sabi ni daddy?sabi nya 'You should wake up early tomorrow you two,may bisita akong ipapakilala sa inyong dalawa'" she copied his dad's voice,though she didn't copy it very well but she tried a manly voice. "Kaya gumising kana dyan friend!" Now she's pulling my hand.

"Kailangan ba talaga tayo doon?. We can just meet them later!"ani ko,habang nakapikit pa din ang dalawang mata.

"Nako friend! Ang g'gwapo ng bisita natin fren,tsaka mukhang mayayaman!"untag ni Faith.

"I don't care Faith,just go if you want to!. Susunod ako"ani ko,but the truth is i want to continue my sleep.

"Hoy Abby sure ka dyan hah?magagalit si daddy sa akin kung wala ka pa sa baba"she said.

tumango ako "Oo na!" I irritatedly said.

Hindi na sya sumagot at narinig ko ang mga yapak ng kanyang mga paa papuntang pinto tsaka ko narinig ang pag sarado nito.

Minutes passed i didn't stand up from my bed. I heard a knock from the door.

"Faith i told you i'm coming!"medyo iritado kong saad.

"Abby,this is Tita. The visitors are downstairs and your Tito is waiting for our breakfast"saad ni tita sa likod ng pinto. I immidiately stand up from my bed before opening the door. Tita smiled when she saw me.

"Sorry to bother you dear,but your tito is calling you"her voice was soft,just like my mom.

"Sige po tita bababa po ako,mag hihilamos lang po muna ako" i awkwardly said. She nodded

"Ok,so i guess mauna na ako?sunod ka nalang abby hah?"she said before she turned back and walked downstairs.

I let out a sighed before closing the door again. Damn,pag si tita na ang umakyat sa kwarto ko,automatic tayo agad.

Twelve years passed but i still remembered the night how they kill my mom infront of me. Walang gabing hindi ako umiiyak noong bata ako habang inaalala ang mommy tsaka daddy ko.

Sinubukan ni tito at tita tawagan ang Lola ko,my dad's mom,para doon ako tumira. But they refused to accept me,they say that my grandmother hated my mom because she don't like her as my dads wife,psh how childish.  Kaya napagdesisyonan nilang magpaka layo layo  sa pamilya ni dad. My mom's parents died,so tita and tito have no choice kaya sila nalang ang nag alaga sa akin.
