The Wings Called Prequel (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20

"What is your problem?!" mom shouts through the phone call. I just bowed my head. I couldn't speak. I don't know what to say. "Where are you? Why are you hiding?"

"I'm... I'm sorry, Mom." the only thing I could say before I shut my phone down. I feel so sorry for my mom. I know she's just being concerned about me... she's worried and so I am... for myself.

I don't even know what I am doing. The next thing I realized is I'm now at the bar, holding a bottle of wine. What is happening? Why is this turns out like this? I've been wasted enough back then... but this is worst. This hurt me as fuck.

"Bro, your parents are here, looking for you." Jericho alarmed me.

"What?" I stood up. "Nakita ka ba nila?"

Jericho shook his head. "What are you hiding for?"

"Kapag nakita ka nila, tell them that you didn't see me." I said instead before leaving the bar, thinking that I was going to escape without getting caught, but I bumped into someone... it's Naver. "Oh, bakit parang balisa ka?" he asked.

When I look around, I saw my parents who were now looking at me too. I just ignored Naver and started to run again. I heard my mom was shouting my name as I started the car engine, ready to run again. Shit. What am I doing?!

My phone is distracting me as I was driving. My mom is calling me. Turning my phone on is such a stupid decision! I should've left my phone in my condo!

I look at the rear view mirror, they are still following me. I really don't know why they are doing this. All I know is that, they're just mad at me because I don't want to spend my college life in States.

I finally answered the phone call.

"Timothy, stop the car!" that was my dad. I look at the rear view mirror again. "Why are you doing this?!"

"Damn that plans!" I shouted.

"Just stop your goddamned car, Timothy! We will talk about this, just let me know who was that one you were hiding—" before Dad finished what he was going to say, a disturbing sound interrupted him. And as I looked back, time seems slowing down when I saw their car... being crashed on a dump truck.

When I turned my gaze back to my driving, I was shocked when I knew that I was going to crash into a large tree too. I tried to brake my car but I was too late...

"Fuck!" the first word that comes in my mouth as I woke up in the hospital again.

"Timothy! Binabangungot ka." Aunt Nerry said. Fuck. I remember everything now.

"Where's Aunt Helena?"

"Nasa kabilang kwarto, binabantayan si Mommy at Daddy mo." fuck, naririnig ko pa lang ang mga salitang 'yan, kinakalibutan na ako. Sino ba 'yung tinatago ko?!

"Anong nangyari sa'kin?" tanong ko nang makita ko ang ilang pasa at sugat sa kamay ko.

"E, nagkaro'n daw ng away. Nakipagsuntukan ka daw sa bar kagabi."

Napapikit na lang ako nang maalala ang mga pangyayari. I was beaten up by that gangsters. Mga frat pala 'yung mga kalaban ni Angelo. Tsk. Ako pa 'yung napuruhan, ako 'yung dapat umawat lang.

"Nag-alala rin 'yung dalawang bata sa'yo. Hindi ko naman sila pwedeng dalhin dito sa hospital."

"It's okay. Papa-discharge naman din ako mamaya. Btw, Auntie. Can I ask you something about what happened to me two months ago?"

"Ah. Huwag mo sanang sabihin 'to sa Aunt Helena mo, ah? Huwag kang mabibigla kung sasabihin ko sa'yo 'to."

I nodded. Bigla akong kinabahan.
