Kismet's Perfect Fiasco

Episode 67

Hue

"Dad, make sure that fucking faggot will rot in prison. I will fucking do everything just for him to fucking die there!" I told Dad via call.

"Akong bahala, bubulukin natin ang gagong 'yon sa kulungan. Magkaubusan na kami ng yaman, hindi ako papayag na hindi siya mamamatay doon."

"Thank you Dad." I crease my forehead and cuss as I shove my phone on my pocket.

I fucking hate myself.

This wouldn't happen if I chose not to let her go.

This is my fucking fault.

Pumara ako ng taxi. Tumigil iyon sa harap ko at nagmadali akong sumakay doon.

"Saan po tayo, Sir?"

"General Trias, Cavite." I told the taxi driver.

Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata. Sinubukan kong pakalmahin ang sarili ko. Balling my fists, I prevent myself from going to that damn jail. Baka mapatay ko pa ang rapist na 'yon.

"Novy." I whisper. I distract myself with her face on my mind.

I will fucking protect you, this time. I will not backtrack anymore. I will keep you 'till my last breath.

Cygny

Bumangon ako pero bigla akong napangiwi nang maramdaman ang labis na hapdi mula sa aking ulo.

"Fudge." I grimace as I caress my head.

Nang magmulat ako ng mga mata ay si Mom agad ang bumungad sa akin. We are on my room. She is lying her head on my bed.

"Mom?" Tinapik ko ang kanyang balikat.

Agad naman siyang nagising. She smiled gently, "Kamusta ang pakiramdam mo, anak?" She is stroking my hair. There is something off in her. Seems like she is trying to push away the things that bother her.

I weakly smile. "Masakit na lang po ang ulo."

Bumuga siya ng malalim na hininga. "By chance, anak. May naaalala ka ba kagabi?"

Oh, so this is what bother her.

I nod. "Yes, Mom." Crystal clear. Mom's face turned frantic and apalled. I reach her hand and squeezed it. I have to be strong for her, sigurado akong siya ang pinakanasasaktan ngayon. Tapping her shoulder, I continued. "I am fine, let's just take the most legal action for him."

Pilit siyang tumango at ngumiti. Halatang nagtitimpi siyang sumabog sa galit.

"Mom, gutom na po ako." I purse my lips, trying to lighten up the mood.

She sighed one last time. "Hintayin mo na lang ako dito, ha? Don't move."

I am smiling wide as I nod. She then went out of my room to cook.

Hue

Dire-diretso kong binuksan ang gate. I head to the door without hesitation. I know, her Mom will bitch at me but I am too worried for Novy to be scared. If I have to kneel infront of her, I will do it. Wala na akong pakialam. I have to make sure that Novy is fine. Hindi ako nakatulog sa buong flight dahil hindi niya sinasagot lahat ng chats at tawag ko. Alalang alala na ako.
