THIS is the first time I will leave my precious house, alone.

How dare them to shout at me?

I graduated college but I have never been promoted for being a good designer. Matagal ko nang pinangarap iyon. I want it so bad but my mother was mad about it. She wanted me to take Engineering! Anong alam ko ro'n?

I finished elementary but I don't even know how to solve the division. Yes, I'm bobo. Not a flex but I just can't understand it. I hate math. It was all problematic. Bullshit, ang problematic na nga ng math, kailangan ko pang sagutan ang punyetang problem solving with solution. I really hate it.

I hate people who loves math.

My phone suddenly rang.

"Charm! Where the hell are you? I'm fucking worried, come on!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Kuya Isaiah, I know you're worried but let me leave! I want to be alone!"

Narinig ko na may nagsalita sa linya.

"Hey! Hey! This is your Kuya Jeremiah! Saan ka pupunta?! We're here, okay? Mommy was just mad about you, I told you, don't shout at Mom. She loves you!"

Napatawa ako bigla sa hangin.

"She loves me?! Pinakita ko naman na magaling akong designer, pero sino ang mas inuna niya?! Ang magaling niyang pamangkin imbis na anak niya?! Yes! Kuya! She's a great engineer but I am a designer! She wants me to be like her in the first place that's why she's mad at me! Now, just shut the fuck up and leave me alone! I want to be alone, forever! I hate you! I hate our family!" sigaw ko sa kanila at mabilis na pinatay ang cellphone.

Halos hingalin ako sa haba ng aking sinabi.

Chloe is smart while I am a brainless.

Okay, fine. Matalino na siya pero hindi siya uubra sa akin sa ganda ko! Marunong akong mag-ayos, siya nga, hindi naliligo!

Madalas ko siyang inaasar dahil minsan ay umaalingasaw ang kaniyang amoy. Mabilis akong napatakip sa aking ilong nang itaas niya ang kaniyang braso at pinatong sa batok ko. May naamoy ako kaagad na halos ikahilo ko.

"Chloe. . . did you already take a bath?" halos pigil ang aking hininga.

She shook her head.

"Required bang maligo araw-araw? Akala ko kasi sa tuwing aalis lang. . . hehe. . ." kamot batok niya.

Lumunok ako nang mariin.

"I have deodorant here! You want it? Let's bath together!" tumagilid ako at huminga. Nang ibalik ko ang tingin ko sa kaniya ay pinigilan ko na naman ang aking paghinga.

Mukhang na-offend siya sa sinabi ko.

I didn't want you to be pissed. . . I just want to help. Nakakahiya dahil may darating kaming bisita.

"May amoy kasi. . ." napatagilid ako kaagad at huminga.

Narinig kong suminghal siya at galit ako na tinitigan.

"At least may amoy! Kaysa wala!" my eyes widened a bit. W-What?!

Pumikit ako nang mariin at inalis iyon sa aking utak. Forget it, Charm. Matagal na panahon na iyon. Baka natuto na siyang gumamit ng deodorant ngayon.

Galit pa rin ako dahil mas pinili siya ni Mommy na ma promote! I am a designer and she's engineer. She can sketch, I am too! Pero mas nagustuhan niya ang kay Chloe. She got promoted so many times. Pero ako, kahit sarili kong Ina, ayaw sa sarili kong gawa.
