Jake
Is this really a woman? Her punches are so strong.
"You're a jerk, you're really sensual. You can see me wearing make-up even if it's not a pageant. And you're teasing you every day, aren't you still satisfied?"
"When and how can I see you with make-up on, aber? You really don't want that."
"At graduation."
"Really? You're going to put on make-up at graduation?"
I can't believe this. Of all things, make-up is the most disliked by temper tantrum.
"Even if I don't want to, I'm sure Shan will force me. Tss."
Only Shan can put make-up to her.
"Why did you take me with your foolishness, Jake?" Crimson asked.
"You didn't say anything at the teacher before, why are you telling me that now?"
"I didn't say anything earlier because I knew my moaning had no destination. I'll just waste my saliva for nothing" He replied.
"You go first. I'm just going to C.R." Temper tantrum said
"I'll come with you." I offered.
"No, because I might kill you if you come with me." She refuses.
I didn't insist because she might really kill me for what I did.
We all walked into the parking lot while Andrea went to C.R.
"Drive me home, bro." I said.
Asher is the interlocutor. I can't keep up with temper tantrum now because she's mad at me. I still love my life and I don't want to die. Maybe I'll crash in no time when I go with her, so I'll just come with Ash.
"All right, how about moonlight?"
"She went to the restroom."
"You left her alone?" Azalea asked.
"She can handle herself."
"What if what happened before happens again?" She asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again."
"How can you be sure?" Dave asked.
"She can protect himself."
We are all together waiting for Andrea to arrive. Dave, Azalea and Ash were worried about what might happen but I was calm.
I know that she can handle herself because she is even better than me in fighting.
Their cars are side by side. To Ash, Dave, Tristan, Ace Blake and Crimson. After they parked their car, they went out to wait for temper tantrum.
She's here. She didn’t notice us because she was busy rummaging through her bag. The motor and car parking lot were also separate so she didn't notice us.
A man came out of the darkness where he was hiding and covered Andrea's nose with a handkerchief. Dave were about to rush so I stopped them.
"What are you doing?" He angrily asked.
"Calm down, she can handle herself. Let her be." I said.
"Are you crazy?" Azalea was angry.
They all stopped when we heard a crash. Four men are attempting to abduct Andrea. They are all wearing black and they are also wearing a black cap.
The crash we heard came from the man who had covered Andrea's nose with a handkerchief earlier.
It has fallen and can no longer stand. I think the head came first and not the body when he fell or he was just really weak.
The next to attack was a man of some stature. He was about to punch Andrea so temper tantrum dodged his attack and then punch him and kicked him in the back.
There was another attack so she kicked it in the face and back. She turned around to kick the other in the face and then kicked it in the chest so it fell to the ground.
The four men who tried to abduct her were defeated immediately.
"Did she just ... Bring them down?" Raia asked incredulously.
"I told you, she can handle herself."
We approached Andrea together. Those assholes ran away already.
"How's practice?" I asked temper tantrum.
She did not notice that we were close to her because he followed the gaze of those who tried to attack him.
"Boring." She replied and then got on his motorbike. She waved to us first before starting het motor quickly.
At the same time, we boarded the vehicles they were carrying and then left one by one. That's Andrea.
That's why I always say that she can handle herself because she can handle herself.
She is better than me and I have never matched him. She's one of a kind.
Yes, she is kind, but don't make her angry. And especially don't hurt or touch her family. She is ready to kill anyone when you hurt her family.
Tristan
What I witnessed earlier still doesn't sink into my brain. In just a minute Andrea was able to knock down four people. It was so easy for her when she did that.
She's cool in that part. She impressed me because of what she did. Think about it, she fought four men and she knocked them down and then she was alone and she's a woman.
She was able to knock them down without difficulty. She wasn't even sweating. Maybe that's the reason why Jake is saying that Andrea can handle herself. That's probably the reason.
"I can't still believe it." Lexa was stunned.
We're at Raia's house now. Her parents is not here because they went on a business trip.
"She easily brings those assholes down." Lexa added.
Almost all of us can't believe it except for Al.
"She easily brings those assholes down. But when she was abducted she didn't fight back." Alistair said.
He is always against when we praise Andrea. He really considers her an enemy.
"Didn't she say that her nape hurts when she woke up?" Blake's said.
"So?"
"It only means that Andrea didn't fight back when she was abducted. She lost consciousness after being beaten." Blake stated.
That's what Andrea told mus.
"One thing is for sure." I said.
They all looked at me when I said that.
"What?" Lexa asked.
They are all looking at me and waiting for my answer.
I held my head close to them and they did the same.
"She's cool." I said.
"I can't argue with that." Raia said smiling.
"Not at all." Al will always be against it.
"She's cool Al, admit it." Blake said.
Al just give us a whatever look then he looked up and observed the beautiful ceiling of Raia's house.
Andrea
My older brothers are complete here in Andrei's hospital room. They were sitting next to our youngest brother.
"Sit here Andeng." Andrew invited me and arrange the chair for me to sit on.
"How's school?"
"Just fine." My answer.
"Looks like you're not in the mood. What happened?" Andrello asked.
Andrello knows it when I'm not in the mood and he always asked me what happened. He knows me very well.
I told them about the prank Jake had done as wpell as the attempted abduction of me earlier. As I expected they were angry and happy at the same time.
Angry because of those damn abductors. Glad because of what Jake did.
"We'll see you ramp on stage HAHAHA. Jake is really good." My brother Andrei is teasing me.
This man was overjoyed.
"Good at bullshit." I said
"Blaine Cuevas is probably the one who try abduct you." Andrello said.
He is starting to get angry again. They don't want me to get hurt because they say I'm their princess. When someone hurts me or bully me they beat and threaten them.
They almost killed someone because I almost got raped. So I studied martial arts when I was young. So that I can protect myself and my brothers won't get into trouble because of me.
"That's more than likely." Andrei said.
Blaine's temperament is really damn. She herself is damn.
"Maybe we need to teach her a lesson?" Andrei's suggestion.
We laughed because of what he said.
"You're still lying there, and your suggesting to teach her a lesson?" I laughed teasing him.
"I'll be out tomorrow." He said.
"Get well first, youngest." My older brother said laughing.
The door opened and it my parents come inside.
"Your having fun ah?" Mama said after entering the room.
"Ma, Andrei wants to teach Blaine a lesson even he's still lying in a hospital bed." Andrello said laughing.
Even mama and papa laughed.
"Get well first, son." Mom's advice while laughing.
Laughter filled the room. We enjoyed eating while plowing. They don't scold us even if we tease each other because it's just for fun.
Even though my brother has a short temper, we didn't stop teasing him. He complained to our parents that's why we stop.
He couldn't stand our teasing so he gave up. They also told our parents that I'm going participate in the pageant.
They were very happy, they almost jump in joy. Mama said that tomorrow we will buy something to wear for the pageant. They are very excited.
We didn't told our parents about what happened in the parking lot because we didn’t want our parents to worry. We also don’t want to ruin the mood tonight just because of that.
Andrea "HAHAHA did you see that, Andrea? She's really annoyed." Raia said laughing. These two are really crazy. They pissed Blaine off. Blaine, on the other hand, was pissed off. You can see that she is insulted on her face. Who wouldn't be offended by what these two said? "Yeah, the look in her face is really funny." Lexa said. "Crazy girls." I said. "I just don't know what will happen to you if she targeted you." I told them. The two did not scared. They still continue to laugh. I think they are crazy. No, let me rephrase it. They are really crazy. "She can't touch us. You know that we are the daughters of two big companies. She can't lay a finger on us." Lexa's confident answer. It is difficult to resist such rich people. You'll maybe died tomorrow or the other day. No one knows your destiny if you touch such rich people. "She can't fight face to face so she's kidnapping you.
Andrea Today is the pageant day. They were so excited to see me on stage rampaging. This is why I strive for practice even though it is hard I endured it for them. Now, I just saw them so happy again. It's been so long since I last saw them this happy. The smile on their faces doesn't fade. They were all excited and can't wait to see me on stage. My sacrifices and tired days aren't wasted. "Are you ready?" Mom asked me. I gave her a confident smile before answering. "I'm so ready." I answered. "Let's go!" Andrei said cheerfully. In the van we rode to school. Alexa and the other were already there when we arrived. Everything that I will use for the pageant is also ready. As I expected Shan was my make-up artist. Ladder's sister is the hairstylist. She offered to be my hairstylist so I didn't refused. Shan told her about the pageant and she offered me to be my hairstylist.
Alistair That girl is really proud of herself. She likes her personality because everyone hates it. That girl was really weird. Who would like that kind of thing? She should change it because everyone hates it. She shouldn't be proud of it. The same question has been asked to me. "My intelligence." I answered. "Why?" The judge asked. "I won't be fooled by anyone because I have it." I answered. The judges nodded. I think they are satisfied on my answer. They are now deciding the winner. I don't care if I win or not. I'll consider this as one of my experience in my high school life. This is the first time that I did this kind of thing. Modeling, reciting a saying and dancing in front of the crowd. I didn't even imagine that I'll be able to do this. And I won't do this again. This is tiring and this is just a waste of time. I will never ever do this again.&nbs
James Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw ni Blaine dito kay Smith eh. Mukhang mabait naman siya na medyo... medyo sira ulo. Medyo lang naman. Ayaw ko na sana na kalabanin si Smith kaso nilakihan ni Blaine 'yung bayad sa 'kin eh. Wala tuloy akong nagawa. Kailangan ko ring kumita ng pera. Nakita namin kung pa'nong tinulungan ni Smith ang isang bata. Marunong din pala 'tong ngumiti tsk. Humanap kami ng magandang tiyempo bago bumaba ng sasakyan. Kinuha ko ang dos por dos na dala ko bago bumaba. Hindi ko kaya kung gagamitan ko lang ng panyong may pampatulog si Smith. Ginawa ko na 'yun dati noong nakaraan pero nakalaban siya. Nakatalikod siya sa 'min habang sumasakay siya sa 'min kaya nagkaroon kami ng pagkakataon upang lapitan siya. Dahan dahan kaming naglakad para hindi siya makahalata. Bumwelo ako bago ihampas sa kaniya ang
Andrei "Nandito na 'ko." Sabay sabay kaming lumapit sa kaniya nung marinig namin siya. "Anak." Tawag sa kaniya ni mama saka siya niyakap. Naguguluhan siya dahil sa biglang pagyakap sa kaniya ni mama pero kahit na ganun ay niyakap din niya ito pabalik. "Bakit?" Takang tanong niya. Humiwalay sa yakap si mama saka siya pinaghahampas sa balikat. Bagay lang sa kaniya 'yun. Halos mamatay matay kami sa pag-aalala dito. "Ahh ahh ahh 'ma, sandali." Daing niya. Pilit niyang sinasangga ang mga palo ni mama pero hindi niya magawa. Nag-iingat kasi siya dahil baka masaktan niya ito. "Bata ka. Kung sa'n sa'n ka nagpupupunta. Hindi ka man lang nagpapaalam." Saad ni mama habang patuloy na hinahampas si ate. "'Ma, tama na." Inawat na ni kuya Andrew si mama kasi hindi titigil 'yan
Andrea Hindi naman makatingin sa akin ang hagdan. "Why did you lose your consciousness? Tanong ni Raia. Tingnan ko siya saglit saka ibinalik ang tingin ko kay hagdan. "Bakit nga ba Crimson?" Hindi pa rin siya makatingin sa 'kin hanggang ngayon. Nilipat sa kaniya ng nga kasama namin ang paningin nila. "I lose my control on myself, that's why. It's an accident." Sagot niya. Puro excuse na naman siya. Aigoo cham. "Aksidente nga bro. Ang tanong namin, bakit siya nawalan ng malay?" Atat na tata ng tanong ni Tristan. "I...I push her and her head bumped into the door." Napabuntong hininga nalang silang lahat. "Buti nabuhay ka pa." Ani Jake. Tahimik si Alistair sa buong oras ng break time namin. Guilty pa rin yata siya hanggang ngayon. Sabay
Andrea Pagkatapos ng klase ay nagpalit ako ng damit at dumeretso sa restaurant. Para malibang ako at hindi na mag-isip ng kung ano ano. Nagta-trabaho na din dito si James. Tinanggap niya ang alok kong trabaho sa kaniya at natutuwa sila mama dito dahil masyado daw masipag. Maging ang mga katrabaho niya ay natutuwa sa kaniya dahil may katulong na daw sila. Naglilinis din daw ito sa kusina kapag tapos na siya sa trabaho niya. All around siya. Lahat ng trabaho sa restaurant ginagawa niya pwera lang s pagluluto. Hindi naman karamihan ang customer kaya nakakapagpahinga kami kahit papaano. "Kamusta dito?" Tanong ko kay James. Magkasama kaming nakaupo sa isang bakanteng table ngayon. "Ayus, nag-eenjoy ako." Sagot niya. Salamat kung ganun. "Hindi ka nahihirapan?" "Hindi sisiw lang 'to. Mahilig ako magluto
Andrea Isang himala ang nangyari ngayong araw. Nauna ako kela Tristan sa table namin sa cafeteria. Ilang minuto na rin kami dito nila Lexa pero wala pa rin sila. "Andrea, are you free this holiday?" Tanong ni Raia. "Ewan ko." Sagot ko. Hindi ko alam kung may gagawin ba ako dahil madalas na may hindi inaasahang plano sila mama. "Andrea, what if Alistair likes you?" Biglang tanong ni Lexa. "Wala 'kong pake." Sagot ko. Kung mangyari man 'yun ay wala akong pake. "Aren't you going to like him back?" Tanong ni Lexa. "Wala akong oras sa mga ganiyang bagay. Naniniwala ako sa sinabi ni suga na if you're inlove at you're young age, it's fake love." Hindi pa rin naman sumasagi sa isip ko ang mga ganiyang bagay. "You're so mean!" Sigaw ni Raia sa akin. Si Lexa naman ay anim
Andrea"Oh, Moonlight. Kamusta?" Bati ni Ash."Ayus naman." Sagot ko.We do a fist bump and hug each other afterwards. Ganito kami magbatian, eh.Siya ang nakaisip ng kalokohan na 'to. Cool daw sabi niya eh alam ko namang tyansing lang siya, tss."Napadalaw ka yata?""Bakit kasi hindi ka pumasok?" Asar na tanong ko.Hindi sana ako pupunta dito sa bahay nila kung pumasok lang siya."Si Blaine kasi. Aalis sila mamaya kasama ang lolo at lola niya. Pupunta daw ng States kaya sinusulit namin ang araw hanggang tanghali." Sagot niya.Aalis din sila Blaine. Sana naman ay hindi ko kasabay sa eroplano 'yon. Baka magkaaway pa kami dahil nagpunta 'ko dito. Ayaw mag eskandalo sa loob ng eroplano."Bakit ka nga napadaan?" Tanong niya pa."Magpapaalam sana ako. Aalis na din kami mamaya,
AndreaAnniversary namin ni hagdan ngayon. Gusto niya na mag-celebrate kami kaya nagpaalam ako sa trabaho ko na hindi ako makakapasok ngayon.Pinagbigyan ko na si hagdan sa gusto niya dahil hindi na namin na ce-celebrate ang monthsary namin dahil busy ako sa trabaho.Pangbawi ko na rin sa kaniya dahil wala akong oras na naibibigay sa kaniya."Hindi ganiyan." Natatawang aniya."Pa'no ba?" Tanong ko.Naglakagay kasi kami ng icing sa cake na binake niya. Bonding na naming dalawa ito kaya imbes na bumili ng cake ay nagbake nalang siya.Ako ang nakatalaga sa decorations kaso hindi naman ako artistic kaya hindi ko alam kung pa'no ba gagawing decor dito."Ganito oh." Kinuha niya sa akin ang icing.Siya na ang naglagay ng icing sa cake dahil hindi ko talaga alam kung pa'no. Hirap ng walang alam sa arts kung 'di ma
AndreaBinabantayan ko si papa habang si mama ay naghahanap daw ng pagkakakitaan. Kailanman ay hindi ko naisip na aabot kami sa puntong 'to na maging si mama ay maghahanap ng trabaho.Masyado na kaming nagigipit. Hindi ko na alam kung pa'no pa kami aahon. Hindi ko na alam kung saan pa ako kukuha ng lakas ngayon.Halos wala na ngang pahinga si mama. Naaawa na ako sa kaniya. Wala akong magawa kung 'di ang maawa nalang.Bakit kasi ganito? Bakit kailangan na umabot sa ganito?Ano bang ginawa ko at pati pamilya ko dinamay nila? Laban ay laban. Bakit kapag natalo sila ay pamilya ko ang pinuntirya nila?"'Pa?" Napatayo ako sa kinauupuan ko dahil bigla nalang nag seizure si papa. "'Pa!""Nurse!" Pagtawag ko sa nurse."Anong nangyayari?" Tanong ng isang bantay."Tumawag kayo ng doctor! Bilis!" Utos ko.
ChanoHiling ni Queen na siya na ang lalaban sa lahat. Ewan nga lang namin kung ano ang nangyari at parang mainit ang ulo niya.Habang nag eensayo siya dito sa gym sa bahay nila Xander ay ang lakas ng pagkakatira niya sa lahat.Lahat ng suntok at sipa niya sa punching bag ay malalakas lahat. Parang may pinaghuhugutan siya ng galit."Ayus lang kaya si Queen?" Tanong ni Xander sa akin."Malay ko ba. May problema yata." Sagot ko.Alam naman namin na may problema talaga siya pero parang nadagdagan pa. Hindi naman kasi siya ganiyan, eh.Ano kayang nangyari sa kaniya at bigla siyang nagkaganiyan? May nangyari kaya kanina sa bahay ng mga Crimson o sa gymnasium?"Baka masira niya 'yung punching bag sa lakas ng pag atake niya." Bulong ni Xander sa akin kaya natawa ako."Kaya mo namang palitan 'yan at sa inyo naman
Andrea"'Ma, kamusta na si papa?" Tanong ko kay mama pagkabalik niya galing ospital.Hindi pa rin kasi nagigising si papa hanggang ngayon at nasa ICU pa rin. Sana nga ay magising na siya ngayon.Wala akong pake sa bills ng ospital ang kailangan ko ay magising si papa. Kahit na gaanong kalaki pa ang bayaran namin."Tulog pa rin, 'nak." Bakas ang lungkot sa boses ni mama habang sinasabi iyon.Hindi ko naman siya masisisi dahil asawa niya iyon. Mas matagal niyang kasama si papa kesa sa amin.Mas nahihirapan si mama kesa sa aming mga anak nila. Alam ko 'yon. Kaya wala akong magawa kung 'di ang yakapin nalang siya."Magiging okay din ang lahat, 'ma."Alam kong tinatatagan lang ni mama ang loob niya para sa amin. Gabi gabi kong naririnig si mama na nanalangin at umiiyak.Na trauma din siya sa nangyari sa kaniya
Alistair"They're here." Blake said looking at the entrance of the gymnasium.Napangiti ako ng makita ang tinutukoy niya. Sila Andrea kasama sila Lexa at Raia."Hi, girsl!" Bati ng teammates ko sa kanila.Kumaway sila Raia at Lexa samantalang si Andrea naman ay ngumiti lang ng bahagya sa kanila."How are you feeling?" I asked."Ayus lang." She replied and smiled at me."Pwedeng akin nalang 'yung isa?" Pabirong sabi ng isa sa mga teammates ko habang nakatingin kay Andrea ng nakangiti.Mabilis kong inilagay si Andrea sa gilid ko saka siya sinamaan ng tingin."Who are you smiling at?" Tanong ko sa kaniya."Syota mo ba 'yan?""Yeah. So get off your from her if you don't want me to take it out from you.""Brutal mo, dre."Nagtawanan lang kami d
AndreaNakapagbayad na sila sa ginawa nila sa pamilya ko. Pero hindi pa rin nawawala ang galit sa puso ko.Hanggang ngayon kasi ay hindi pa nagigising ang papa ko. Comatose pa rin siya at walang kasiguraduhan kung mabubuhay pa siya.Walang kasiguraduhan kung magigising pa ba siya. Walang kasiguraduhan ang lahat.Maaga akong umalis ng bahay namin. Hindi na ako kumain at dumeretso ako sa ospital para bantayan si papa.Nakalabas na din sila mama ng ospital kahapon at pinagpahinga muna namin siya sa bahay.Pagdating ko sa ospital ay dumeretso agad ako sa ICU kung nasa'n si papa."'Pa, gising na. Haba na ng tulog mo, eh. Baka naman gusto mo ng gumising. Uso 'yon pa." Saad ko. Hindi ko na naman tuloy napigilan ang mga luha ko na tumulo.Naaawa ako kay papa dahil hindi na siya humihinga sa sarili niya. Hindi na niya kayang huming
AndrelloDan Antonio. 'Yan ang pangalan ng g*gong sumira ng break ng sasakyan nila mama kaya naaksidente sila at namatay si lola.Sa t'wing naiisip ko si lola ay lalong umiinit ang dugo ko sa lalaking 'yon at nadagdagan ang galit ko.Sa isang warehouse daw naglalagi ang g*gong 'yon ngayon dahil napalayas siya sa bahay nila.Wala daw kasing ibang inatupag kung 'di ang maglakwatcha. Isang lumang warehouse na 'tong pinaglalagian niya. Kaunting panahon nalang siguro ay sira na 'to.As expected ay nandito siya ngayon at naninigarilyo. May alak din sa mesa niya pero walang baso. Tinutungga lang niya ang alak mula sa bote nito."Kamusta, kaibigan?" Saad niya ng mapansin ang presensya ko. "Ano ang maipaglilingkod ko sa iyo?"Tumungga muna siya ng alak at humithit ng sigarilyo bago tumayo at nakangising tumingin sa akin."Bibigyan
Andrea"Kung hayop ako, ano ka pa? Demonyong umahon mula sa impyerno?""'Wag na 'wag mong sasaktan ang pamilya ko kung ayaw mong saktan ko din ang kapatid mo." Mariing banta niya."Sino sa mga kapatid ko ang sasaktan mo?""'Yung bunso mong kapatid.""Ahh..." Kunwaring natatakot na sabi ko saka tumayo sa kina-uupuan ko."Hindi mo magagalaw 'yon dahil galit na galit din siya gaya ko. Wala kayong magagawa sa kaniya dahil mas magaling pa siya kesa sa inyo. At alam mo ba kung bakit hindi sumasagot ang mga co-leaders mo? Dahil ginagawa din niya kung ano ngayon ang ginagawa ko."Nanggigigil siyang tumingin sa 'kin. Matalim niya akong tinignan kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin."Dahil sa inyo, namatay ang lola ko. Dahil sa inyo, nanganib ang buhay ng mama at Tita ko. Dahil sa inyo, comatose ang papa ko. Dahil sa inyong mga g*go kayo
