Memories of You (Completed)

Chapter 9

Pag-uwi ko galing kay tita Kyara, kaagad akong binungangaan ni daddy. Hindi ko alam kung bakit mas matalak pa siya kaysa kay mommy. At hindi ko rin alam kung paano nakarating sa kanila yung nangyari sa school. Perhaps Claire has something to do with it.

“What's happening to you Blythe?” tanong sakin ni daddy

I can hear the disapppointment in his voice.

Sino bang hindi? I've never been into any fights sa school and now here I am. Everything started to mess up because of that Claire.

“What did she tell you exactly to be this mad at me dad?” tanong ko kay daddy

“The point here is why are you into fights these days!” sigaw sakin ni daddy

“Eh ano dad?! Gusto mo manahimik lang ako habang binabastos niya si mommy?!” sigaw ko kay daddy

Ayokong maging bastos at sumagot-sagot, pero ngayon lang pwede ba? Pwede ba kong malabas ng sama ng loob!?

“Blythe.” pagtawag sakin ni mommy at sinubukang hawakan ako pero hindi ako nagpahawak sa kanya

Humarap ako kay daddy at alam kong namumuo na ang luha sa mga mata ko.

“Alam mo kung anong sinabi niya tungkol kay mommy? Sinabi niyang malandi si mommy! Sinabi niyang hinabol ka lang ni mommy at naaawa ka kaya mo pinili si mommy! Sinabi niyang inagaw ka niya kay tita Alyssa! And you expect me not to react on that dad?!” sigaw ko

Narinig ko ang paghikbi ni mommy. Nakita ko ang paglambot ng expression ni daddy. Naramdaman ko ang pagkirot ng puso ko.

Why are we being like this? We are supposed to be a happy family. What is happening now?

“When will you try to understand me? When will you get to see what I am feeling? Until when will I drift away from the two of you?” sambit ko saka tuluyang tumulo ang mga luha ko

“Blythe anak.” pagtawag sakin ni mommy at lumapit para yakapin ako mula sa likod

Naramdaman ko ang pagtulo ng mga luha niya sa buhok ko pati na rin ang paghalik niya sa ulo ko.

“You even told me hurtful words way back then when you found out about me and Aidan—”

“Because you lied to us!” kaagad na sabi ni daddy na hindi man lang ako pinapatapos

“I didn't dad. I didn't lie when I said we are just friends.” sagot ko saka ako umiling-iling

Napabuntong-hinimga si daddy at napahawak sa sentido niya.

I have never felt this way before. I am in pain and I do not know how to heal myself anymore.

“Hindi ako nagsinungaling. I am telling the truth when I told you that we are just friends because we are just friends. Yes, we may have feel something for each other, but that doesn't mean na we are already in a relationship dad. Is that how you think of me?” sabi ko pa

“Blythe hindi ganon—”

“Ganon 'yon dad. Ganon ang tingin mo sakin. Wala kang tiwala sakin kaya hindi mo ko magawang paniwalaan. Kaya mas pinili mong makinig at maniwala sa iba. Kasi saking anak mo, hindi mo magawang magtiwala.” sabat ko sa kanya
