I've Been Executed

Chapter 45

Zajei's POV

My life is not a game that anyone can play with. My family is not a toy who can easily disregard if they didn't need them anymore. My father is not a bullet target for them to shot him 24 times in different part of his body.

I am not a saint. I can do and done mistakes.

I can also kill and let someone die in my hands.

I am a God-fearing person. . . but I doubt myself if I can still obey His words.

Hindi ako yung taong kayang hayaan ang lahat at ipagpaubaya nalang sa Diyos ang mga may kasalanan sa akin.

They took lives. They took my love ones lives and as a replacement, I'll took their freedom.

I'll give them hell.

"Zajei, anak."

I didn't utter a word and just wipe the tears that escape my eyes. I am fully aware that everyone in this funeral is looking at me but damn their pitying eyes.

I don't their pity. I need justice.

And when I say justice, I want their bloods on the floor. I want regret on their faces. I want them to suffer.

"Zajei, kailangan mong kumain." I shook my head and held the glass of my father's coffin.

The last time I went to a funeral is on my grandparents. Since then, I didn't went anymore to any burials not until this day happen.

Not until my 24th birthday comes.

Damnit.

Fvck this day. Fvck all of them who's now cheering for my father's death.

Sa susunod, sila na ang paglalamayan.

Mga putangina.

"Ayaw n'ya pa rin." I heard my mother's voice beside me before she walked away. Another scent of perfume invade my nostrils but I didn't bother to look at her.

"Luv."

"Leave." My voice were filled with coldness when I say that one single word.

"Zj," she called me again before holding my left cheek and let me face her. Marahang tinabig ko ang kamay n'yang nakahawak sa akin bago ako umiwas ng tingin.

I can't look at her eyes.

Ayoko.

Hindi ko na kaya.

Hindi ko na kakayanin pa.

"Baby, you need to eat. Your father won't be happy seeing you like t-that." I let out a bitter chuckle before my shoulders started to shake. I lowered my head and cupped my face using my palms to cover my face full of tears.

I felt her embrace but I stay still and steady. I just keep on crying habang nakayuko pero nang mahimasmasan ako ay mahinang itinulak ko s'ya sa balikat at nilingon ang tatay ko.

His lifeless body.

I closed my eyes shut when my gazed landed on his necklace. Suot suot ng walang buhay na katawan ni Daddy ang kwintas na ako mismo ang pumili. Ito ang huling regalo ko sakan'ya bago sila naghiwalay ni Mommy.

It is a locket wherein you'll see our smiling faces once you open it. Mayroon din ako ng ganoong kwintas pero hindi ko isinusuot because it is too precious for me.

Damn it.

"D-dad. . ." I subconsciously says the moment I open my eyes. Our moments together started flashing back that brought a smile to my face.
