Bunch of MENDOZAs

Chapter 6

"Ano na? Hindi niyo manlang ba sasabihin kung nasaan ang pinsan niyo? Ha?!" Inis na inis kong sabi sa anim na 'to habang nakaupo sila sa waiting area.

Sa totoo lang naluluha na 'ko. Ano lang naman ba yung pakinggan nila yung pakiusap ko na mag behave naman sila.

Sa frustration ko pinakuha ko nalang sa driver yung mga pinamili at hahanapin namin ang batang 'yon ano pa nga ba?

I sat on the chair and covered my face. "You're all so disrespectful!" I said and sobbed.

Ayoko sana... Ayoko sanang umiyak pero kasi hindi ko alam na ganito sila kagrabe. Akala ko kaya pa silang daanin sa pakiusap at maayos na pakikitungo.

"I never felt so disrespected my entire life. Ngayon lang." I added while breathing heavily. "Nakiusap naman ako, pinagbigyan ko kayo. I'm starting to treat you all like my family. But you all treat me like a trash."

Gosh! I never expected that I will burst out this early.

I know they are all looking at me but I'm too frustrated to look at them.

"Where the fuck did you guys go?!"

Gulat na gulat akong tumingin sa pinanggalingan no'n at paniguradong ganun din ang anim dito.

"I searched for you guys at the supermarket! It's damn wide and I looked like a fool! I wasn't even able to pay for my foods because I can't find you! Balak mo pa 'kong iwan dito. Are you that mad at me too? You're no different from mom." Inis na inis na may kasama pang galit na sabi ni Zahir habang nagdadabog sa harap ko.

No one's making a noise among us so I stood slowly and stared up at him.

"Where did you just go?" I whispered.

"I went to the CR! I just went to pee and I didn't expect that this mall is lack of cubicles! Tang ina!"

"You didn't run away?" I asked absentmindedly.

"No. As much as I wanted to wala akong pera o kahit ano para isanla." He said and rolled his eyes. "Why are you not saying a word? Why the fuck did you cry? Who died?"

"Pucha bobo ka talaga. Basta may iyak may patay?"

I closed my eyes with what Raven said.

"Gago manahimik ka." Suway ni Breii at pinitik yung tenga ni Raven.

I looked at Zahir who's glaring at Raven but looked down at me after.

"Zahir, sabihin mo naman please kung may iba kang pupuntahan." Malumanay kong sabi at nagpunas ng pisngi.

"I thought you wouldn't care... Just like everybody else." He answered in a very low tone.

I'm about to say something but he spoke again.

"Can be go back there? I badly want those foods!" Naiinis na naman niyang sabi.

I smiled. He's like a 5-year old kid.

"O? Sayang 'di ba yung drama mo? Nag CR lang kasi eh. Masyado kang walang tiwala sa 'min." Umiirap na sabi naman ni Brile.
