Chapter 4
Since the day I was drugged, hindi na ako pinapaalis ng bahay without any supervisions. Dapat alam nila kung saan ako pupunta o anong gagawin ko. Kahit maliliit na detalye dapat ay alam nila. My Mom was just being protective. While on the other hand, my Dad was pure evil with his intentions of keeping me locked inside the house. Little did they know na kapag ang isang tao ay nasasakal o nasu-suffocate sa isang sitwasyon, they tend to do bad stuff and those aren't quite beneficial for the person.
Nakakasama. Nakakakitil ng buhay.
It can lead them to death if it keeps being pursued. Mabuti na lang natitiis ko pa ang ganitong buhay. Just because of my little incapability to hear, ang dami nang naging hadlang para maging normal. Yes, they want me to be normal but is it enough? O pinapakita lang nila 'yon kasi they need to be comforting? But this is life, we just gotta live with it.
But I've seen people live a normal life having this kind of disability. They are happy, going to work like communication won't be a problem. Kapag minamalas-malas nga talaga ako. I was kept under the shell of being the person who I am today. They put limitations and so I didn't grow.
Kakalagay ko pa lamang ng hearing aid 'ko, may naririnig na agad akong kumakatok sa pinto. I sighed and was already exhausted by the human interaction. Tamad kong binuksan ang pinto at bumungad sa akin ang maid namin.
"Ser, pinapatawag po kayo ng Daddy n'yo. Nasa living room po sila," mahinahon niyang anunsyo sa akin.
"Sila?" I asked at tinanguan niya lang ako.
Hindi na ako nagtanong pa dahil mukhang hindi rin naman niya kilala kung sino 'yong bisita sa baba. She excused herself and then I headed out of my room to go to the living area where I found my parents talking to someone.
She's not familiar to me though. I haven't seen her before.
Tumayo silang lahat nang mapansin nila ang presensya ko at sabay-sabay ang paglingon nila sa akin.
So I'm the center of attention again? In what case now?
Ngiti ang binati ni Mommy sa akin. Dad has his usual blank face but I can tell he has something to do with this. I'm sure this isn't about the business that we're going to talk about. Hinding-hindi naman sila darating sa punto ng pagdedesisyon na 'yon ulit. So might as well, never hope for it again. Sa ibang bagay ko na lang itutuon ang atensyon ko.
My mom pointed her ear, trying to signal me if I was wearing my device and I nodded.
"So, here's Malachi, my son," Mom reached out to me when I got closer to her. Pumalibot ang kamay niya sa braso ko. What are they doing? Anong eksena na naman ang gusto nilang ipalabas?
