Flaw #14

Hey!

Hopefully ay marami kayong natutunan habang nag-eenjoy na basahin ito. This is the first GL story I have ventured into and I am very sure that this is far from perfect but I know that in this field, there is always a lot of room for improvement.

Special Chapters would ONLY be available to the physical book of this story, advantage na rin po ng mga bibili ng book. Hopefully ay makabili rin kayo!

Announcement would be posted here soon but you can follow Chrisade Dee Writes on facebook for early updates or you can add me on FB instead: Christine Jade Denosta.

P.S. Nag-a-accept po ako ng requests especially from readers and co-writers!

So that's it!
Thank you for reading up until here. The last chapter would be published tomorrow.

I didn't have the courage to face my parents. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko ipapaliwanag sa kanila ang lahat. When I arrived home the other day, Lola Tess told me na they've gone to school dahil sa ginawa kong pag-alis ng walang tamang permission.

And I was more than sure that Kat and my friends had already filled them out of what actually happened that day.

Nag-aalala ako kung kamusta na kaya ang lagay ngayon ni Paige. Was she immediately brought to the hospital? Malala kaya ang mga injuries na natamo niya?

I have all sorts of questions and what-ifs running on my mind pero hindi ko magawang humakbang palabas ng kwarto ko kahit na alam kung alalang-alala na sina Mommy.

"Hindi niya parin ginalaw ang pagkaing dinala ni Nila kanina." Rinig kong balita ni Lola Tess sa kung sino mang kausap niya sa labas ng kwarto ko.

"Sige na Nay, kami na hong bahala." Mariin kong ipikit ang mga mata ko nang marinig ang pagod sa boses ni Mommy. She stayed outside my door for two nights in a row, ni minsan ay hindi niya sinubukang pilitin na buksan ang pintuan ng kwarto ko, probably respecting the space I was quietly asking from them.

"Tegs?" she called out in her usual soft tone kasunod nang ilang beses na pagkatok niya sa pintuan ko.

Hindi ako sumagot. I mean... hindi ko alam kung paano sasagot.

Wala akong mukhang maipakita sa kanila. They raised me well. Showered me with love and attention, gave me everything I needed and wanted, tapos ano? Anong isusukli ko sa kanila?

Kahihiyan?

"Tegs? I'll open the door, okay?" Nang marinig ang paalam ni Mommy ay mabilis kong hinablot ang kumot ko at tinalukbong ko sa sarili.

I heard the sound of shuffling keys before the knob of my door produced a clicking sound. Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang kumot para kung sakali mang hilahin iyon ni Mommy ay hindi niya agad na makukuha.

I heard the door slowly open. Halos pigil ang hininga ko habang nag-aabang sa susunod na gagawin o sasabihin ni Mommy. But nothing came.

I only heard the door close and some shuffling sounds before some sort of heavy something landed with a quiet thud on the floor.

Tahimik ang buong kwarto ko at tanging ang tunog lang ng aircon ang naririnig. Bahagyang lumundo ang kama when she occupied the space beside me.

Naramdaman ko ang paglibot ng isang braso sa katawan kong balot na balot ng kumot. And just like that, I realized that it's not my mother.
