Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Bothered

Life is really full of surprises like magugulat ka na lang bukas birthday mo na at magugulat ka na lang kinabukasan yung taong nangako sayo na hindi ka iiwan, siya pa naunang iwan ka that is the biggest surprise that I ever received being left alone that is why I hate promises because I know promise meant to be broken and I experience it already and that is enough ayoko ng masira pa ulit at maging mahina like the old me.

Flashback

"Daddy please!! I'm crying in front of Dad nakikiusap na mag usap na sila ni Mommy at pabalikin na sila dito sa bahay halos lumuhod na ako dito but Dad remain compose.

"No Zaira!! Umalis sila dahil gusto nila at wala na akong magagawa dun."

"Pero Dad... Please you want me to grow up without a complete family? Paano si Kuya don't you love him?" I ask him still crying.

"I love your brother Zai, but it happen already I hope you understand." At iniwan niya na ako dito sa dining table crying my hearts out. It's been 3 moths nung iwan kami ni Mommy at Kuya at wala kong tigil sa pagkumbinsi kay Daddy. Hanggang sa mapagod na lang ako at tanggapim na iniwan talaga nila ako mag isa.

End of Flashback

Sa mata ng iba sobrang babaw nun para magalit ako, pero iniisip ko na lang di naman sila ang nakaramdam kaya nasasabi nila yun para sakin pang iiwan ang di ko talaga kaya lalo na pag nangako ka. Kaya pag ako nangako na hindi ako mang-iiwan hinding hindi ako mang-iiwan dahil alam ko na kung paano ang maiwan ng taong mahalaga sayo.

"Hey, Zai!! Anong meron sa pancake na kinakain mo at parang ang sama ng  tingin mo  diyan di ba masarap?" Nawala lang ako sa iniisip ko ng magsalita yung cousin ko.

"Huh? Hindi, Nothing." and I continue eating my breakfast ayoko ng magisip pa ng kung ano ano kasi alam ko na mahahalata ni Raffy yun it's first day of school that is why I need to focus.

"Dalian mo na lang diyan Zai, it's first day of school wala akong balak magpalate, hello graduating kaya tayo!!" does she really need to say it out loud. Kaharap niya lang kaya ako but whatever sanay na ako. Raffy is not just a cousin or bestriend she is also like a mother to me, ewan ko ba diyan.

"Yeah Yeah Raf... Just shut up, you are so noisy ang aga-aga eh." and I rolled my eyes to her at sana hindi niya nakita kasi wala na talaga patay na late talaga kami kasi di magpapatalo yan sa sagutan. And after eating breakfast we drive to school. I don't want to drive so Raffy did it. While were on our way sudden realization hit me.

"Raf, what do you think we will do after we graduate?" I ask her all of a sudden and she is surprise to my question because I never ask her that kasi alam ko naman na kung ano eh.

"Ano pa ba handle our business Zai, Do you really need to ask me that eh alam mo naman na kung ano." she answer me without looking at me because she's driving

"Yeah I know, The two of us are studying BS HRM for our Hotels and Restaurants. While Drake and Renzo are studying Business Management for our company dun pa lang makikita mo na that we are not free to choose what we want." and I laugh after telling it to her hindi naman kasi talaga ito ang gusto ko 'e. I'm not into business but because of what happen I need to take business and dispose my real dream because it's nonsense now.

"Bakit di mo ba gusto gosh Zai, nakatagal tayo ng tatlong taon sa course na ito, at ito na isang taon na lang and were done o baka dahil..." She stop talking and look at me dahil sa mga iniisip ko di ko napansin na nandito na kami sa University.

I know may naiisip na siya dahil sa tanong ko di lang naman kasi si Zairon ang may alam kung pangarap kong yun si Raffy din but the others they don't know kaya ganun na lang kadali kay Dad na sabihin na BS HRM ang kunin ko.
