Rape And to that proximity, my inability to run nor defend myself and the whole thing got me terrified. That dark day keeps on repeating in my not calming mind as I bite my nails gnawing off every bites to keep off my teeth from chartering. Where am I? Why is this happening to me? Trembling, scared, and shaking. I am traumatized on what happened to me back there at the woods. It was 12th day of August and I am walking at the dark street with my hands on my elbows and enjoying the cold breeze, the air that blows my hair and the dark wide street, no one was there. While I was walking, I felt like someone is behind me, which startled me. "Aaaaa" my shouts echoed as I fell in the woods. A guy grips my hand and tied me so hard, I am sure I look so miserable and helpless, there's a guy on top of me, I felt like I lost all of my strength to fight. But what hurts me the most is that this guys who molested me is not just a guy, he is my very best friend and I didn't know what have I done to him to do this to me. I was r***d! The judge declared a lifetime imprisonment for him. I am now free, and for the last time, I approached him. "How can you do this to me", he said. " I told you to love me but you didn't, you can't love any other woman except me. You're mine" I told him with a devilish grin plastered in my face. After the incident, I go home. Family My mom does my simple side braided hair, the clothes are perfectly arranged when they arrived, the simple blue maong pants paired with a sturdy brown belt, and thin hooded jacket that falls to my thighs. Mom's expertise have never faded and never failed to amuse me. The worn over skintight socks boots have perfectly match my outfit. I hastily jump out of my room as I lead myself to the kitchen for breakfast. A simple yet delicious garlic rice and an omelette tastes fine for a simple day. Tik-tak, I look up and checked if I am already late for work and as soon as I finished my breakfast, I kissed my mom eagerly and bid my goodbye to her. The time passes so quick, woking hour is over. I obediently consolidate the supplies and foods my mom will be needing in our homes but before I go there, I have decided to walk for a while as my feet have lead me to my father's house. Their house is way bigger than ours but since I don't want my mother to be sad, I will beg for my father to go home. I will tell him that mom needs him, that I need him. My footsteps echoed to the entire sala and fortunately saw my father there. I can sense that my father is surprised to see me, and even step a foot backward as I lead myself closer to him. "Uwi na tayo pa, hinihintay na tayo ni mama" I tell him. "Baliw ka! Matagal ng patay ang mama mo, pinatay mo siya!" He shouted. I laughed in despair, yes, I killed my mother, can you blame me? She wants to build a new family without me! They have abandoned me when all I want to have is a complete family. "Uwi na tayo pa" I told him as I laughed and laughed and laughed! No one can stop me. Few moments then, I go home, with my father. I took his body beside my mother's body. "Now, no one can separate us, I love you both." Crush I curled up to my not so soft pillows and cocooned myself there, I wasn't ready to took a bath and get ready for school. But remembering the reason why I want to go to school make me swing out of my bed and slide into my hunting bathroom. I spent hours doing so until I am ready for schooling. I stand in silence as the train speeds along, and in few moments, I was welcomed by the freezing air of the school. I was ready to take a step when I saw him, the reason why I am always excited to go to school. I acted as if his bright smile doesn't affect me and I intentionally blocked his broad shoulder into mine so we can have an interaction and fortunately, I fell my books and he helped me in picking those, sounds cliché but at that moment, I can hear my heartbeats and when he faced me, shocked was written all over his face. And then at that moment, I took a deep breath and enough courage to tell him how much I like him but I was stunned with his reply, "you know we can't be together right? I'll go ahead cousin" Yeah right, how could I even forgot that, my crush was my cousin. KATAPUSAN Napaubo ako habang hinahabol ang aking hininga dulot ng kakapusan ko dito, akala ko katapusan ko na. Tiningnan Kong muli ang mga lubid na aking ginamit sa pagtangkang pagkitil sa aking buhay. Wala ako sa aking tamang pag iisip dahil inukupa at nagpadala ako sa agos ng aking problema. Himala sigurong naiangat ko ang aking mga kamay at naabot ang lubid kadahilanang natanggal ito sa pagkakabuhol. Siguro'y Hindi ko pa talaga oras. Masaganang luha ang umagos mula sa aking mga mukha at muling inisip ang desisyong aking nagawa, "papaano kong naisip itigil ang isang bagay na ninanais ng iba" ani ko sa sarili. Maya maya pa'y nakarinig ako ng Katok sa pintuan, maaaring si mama iyon ngunit Hindi ko na lamang pinansin. Makalipas ang limang minuto'y kumatok uli ito, rinig ko ang mga sigaw ni mama ngunit sa pangalawang pagkakataon'y Hindi ko ito pinansin dahil ang isip ko'y nananatili sa aking muntikang pagpapatiwakal. Dulot ng inis, binuksan ni mama ang pintuan at tila nagulat sa kalagayan ko, marahil ay dahil sa mga luha at batid sa aking mukha ang kalungkutan, tinawag nito si papa at sa unang pagkakataon, nagkasama sila nang walang gulong nagaganap. Napasigaw sila at biglang napaluha. Naguguluhan man ay inayos ko ang aking sarili at hinarap ko sila ngunit tila Hindi nila ako nakita. Nakatingin sila sa aking likod at napatakbo. Sa aking gulat, napatingin ako sa likod ko. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at nagpakawala ng isang mapait na ngiti. Akala ko nalampasan ko ang temptasyon, akala ko nakaligtas ako. Nakita ko ang aking sariling nakabitin sa kisame habang may lubid sa leeg, akala ko buhay pa ako, akala ko lang pala. WEDDING I can feel the crowd pause for a while, curiously listening to the voice and seeking for more. The melody bounces back and forth. I give a noncommittal shrug and cup my elbows in my hand, as I hug them in my body. This day special for me, today is my wedding day for Pete's sake. So I composed myself and showed a genuine smile, I am now walking at the aisle, with the cameras which records a nonstop documentation and flashes aren't irritating me which is a good thing. The song continues as I have reached my soon to be husband, then I let go the hand of my father as he kissed my hands. This day is just so perfect, the perfect day, perfect event with a perfect man that I love the most. This day is the day we've been looking forward, we are officially being united as one. I shed a tear and smile bitterly. This day supposed to be the happiest day of my life, this day is our wedding day. I am indeed attending a ceremony but this is not the ceremony we wanted, this should be our wedding day and not your burial day. Nahuli kami ni Kuya I took a deep breath and told myself for the nth time that I can do this. This is it, the moment of truth, I would be confessing to my long time crush. What ifs are running through my mind but I ignored those, my steps are heavy and from afar, I saw him. I mean, how could be a man be that gorgeous just by standing simply at that corner and do nothing?I stopped for a moment and appreciate his beauty, I have practiced my speach for him and praying for all of the saints I know that this step of mine would be a good start for the both of us. My fingers stroke the silky braids my mother so carefully arranged and for the last time, I took a deep breath. I walked towards him and I stand stiffly apart, never touching nor acknowledging him as I took a step forward but due to clumsyness, I fell. But I think this clumsyness is a sign for him to approach me and so he did. A slow motion thing happened when he held my hand so I have have my balance. It was so magical not until I have heard a cough behind us. My heart automatically beats thrice than its usual beat. My brother just caught us! He might think that this guy behind me is my boyfriend! Knowing he is strict and malicious. "What's the meaning of this?" he says with full of authority as I answered him, "Kuya, I can explain" but before I can ever utter a word, my crush interfere, "lauv wala lang to, tinulungan ko lang kapatid mo, don't be jealous ok?" And then the two of them left, leaving me with my mouth wide open. Kidnap Mabibigat na hagulgol ang aking pinapakawalan na siyang maririnig sa bawat sulok ng kwartong ito. Ang puting mga haligi ay tila nag papadagdag sa kaba na aking nadarama, mag ta-tatlong oras na akong nakaupo dito at tila naguhumilihan kung bakit, bakit sa akin pa ito nangyari. Maya maya pa'y pumasok ang dalawang lalaking may kalakihan ang pangangatawan at pilit akong hinihila at nang ako'y pumalag ay malakas na suntok sa aking sikmura ang aking natamo na siyang nakapag pahina sa akin. Nagising ako sa pagtapik sa akin ng pamilyar na lalaki, nakagapos ako sa puting higaan na tila ooperahan. Sa puntong iyon, alam ko nang katapusan ko na, bago pataasin ang aking blusa upang kunin ang aking mga laman-loob ay kinuha nito ang takip sa kaniyang mukha. "Mayroon ka bang huling hiling bago ka mamaalam sa mundong ito?" Wika nito. Nanghihina ma'y pinilit ko paring mag salita sa gitna ng aking mga hikbi, "Please, huwag mong sabihin Kay mama kung anong nangyare at sana, sana ako na ang huli ninyong mabibiktima papa, mahal po kita papa" At sana puntong iyon, tuluyan na akong nawalan ng malay.
