When I asked for help earlier, he and his husband, grandfather Damian, were the first to come to us to help. Dad was picked up by the police a while ago and mom's body was also picked up a while ago
" O-opo grandma " I barely stuttered the first time I uttered the first word because I must have been shocked
"I'm sorry, daughter, we didn't come to your aid right away, I hope your mom is still alive," said grandmother, Mersing, sadly. I can't blame him because it's not their fault, it's my father's fault
"Grandma, it's not your fault, why are you apologizing? It's my father's fault, no one else," I said. Holding back tears
Dad is so disappointing and I hate him so much, I thought he loved us so much, I thought he wouldn't hurt us but I was wrong because he was able to take mom's life without any resistance
"Don't cry hija, take heart, you have two more brothers, so take heart" I didn't realize that the tears were really falling in my eyes, I bit my lip before turning it on the sight of my two brothers who are now being forced to live by grandfather, Damian
That's where I saw my poor brothers because they were both crying incessantly. They are not yet naive and they don't know what is going on but from what I have seen it seems like they already know what is going on
"I don't know what to do, grandma," I cried, "what are we going to do?" I added.
Grandpa patted my shoulder, Mersing "don't worry, I will take care of you, Grandpa and I are brothers and sisters, your Damian until there is no one else to take care of you" Grandma answered, I immediately looked at her and hugged her tightly
"Thank you, grandma, you're always there for us, even then you've always helped us, I'm forever grateful to you" I said long while hugging grandma, Mersing
A few months ago, I found out that my father smokes illegal drugs and also sells them, so every time he comes home from the village, he seems to be out of his mind, always asking mom for money, scratching his nose, glaring at his red face. eye
My mother was buried for several months, not a single relative attended, only our neighbors helped with all the work because in fact we have no relatives here in the province where we live, even if my father has relatives, I don't know either. I wonder why we don't have relatives here. Every night I think about what I should do, luckily Grandma Mersing and grandfa Damian are there to take care of us
Lola Lola has three children, all boys, and the oldest son currently lives in Manila because he has a business to run, while the other two went to another country and have a job and their own company there, that's how rich the children of grandfather and grandmother but you look at them both are simple because of this hut house but very clean and full of plants and vegetables because grandfather and grandmother like to take care of plants. Every month, Lola, Mersing and Lolo, Damian are sent money by their children, they don't have anyone else in their house except us because their children got married there and they also have a grandchild there.
I am very grateful because grandma and grandpa took care of us even though we are not related or related by blood.
Now we continue to row in life because there is nothing we can do but continue only then we will be able to rest forever when we are gone, I tell myself that I can do it, my brothers and I can do it even though the wound is still fresh.
Mikoy left just last week, isn't it sick? I lost my mother, my best friend left, but I'm not too affected because I know she will come back, I hope she comes back.
"Kezella grandchild, come so we can eat," said grandma Mersing. I'm busy watering the plants and vegetables because I'm used to doing it every morning since we've lived here. Our house has been demolished because it cannot be lived in because something unpleasant has happened so it should not be lived in because it is bad according to the superstition here in our province, believe it or not I don't want to live in our old house anymore home because I don't want to remember the loss of our mother. I don't want to remember but I can't forget the horrible murder of my mother, I will hate her for the rest of my life and I will bury it in my grave.
We always help grandfather and grandmother with housework in cleaning, cleaning, gardening and whatever else as long as we can help them because mom taught us to help with any task so we are used to it
"Yes, grandma, it's here," was the only answer
AT the dining table, we shared the stewed eggplant that grandma picked earlier in the yard and chicken eggs that grandpa took from the jail earlier. It was so delicious that I had a spoonful of rice
"Grandson, next month you will enter school. Continue your studies" grandma said to me so I immediately looked at her. Do I come in?
"Grandma, don't spend more, I won't come in anymore, I'll just help you" I reasoned before taking a bite of rice and dishes
"It's not possible grandpa, we want you to learn something in school. You're not even related by blood, but we consider you family, so that's all we can inherit from you," said grandpa, Damian. My brothers and I were very lucky because we ended up with them
"Grandpa..." I stopped for a moment because I couldn't explain the joy in my heart "I promise you that I will get better, I want you to be proud of me" I said with a smile. I also immediately saw the joy in their eyes that I always wanted to see. My two brothers can go to school next year, so I will be the first to go to school this year.
THIRD PERSON
6 years later
A few days, weeks, and months passed, Kezella continued to work hard in her studies, she grew up to be a smart and hardworking girl, add to that her own beautiful and shapely body that almost all men fall for her. She's a grade 12 student in Del Bario National High School and she's taking ABM Strand
Many people were obsessed with Kezella's beauty and many tried to court her but unfortunately she didn't answer because her attention was focused on her studies and she still remembered what her best friend said Mikoy's friend that she won't have a boyfriend until he comes back, that's what she's holding on to, so that's how she rejects her lovers
"Grandma, grandma, I'm leaving" the girl Kezella said goodbye to her grandparents while they were in the doorway. He is currently eating with his two younger brothers.
The girl woke up as early as five o'clock in the morning to prepare to enter school. He always does this because he doesn't want to be late for class because he also has a long walk to the village
"Go ahead, grandpa, be careful," his grandfather said before taking a bite of rice in his mouth
Her grandmother grabbed something from her small purse and walked towards her "This is your daughter, I'm sorry and it's only a small amount, your grandmother and grandfather don't have any money yet" she handed the girl twenty pesos worth The girl sighed before smiling
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine, even though I don't have money in my pocket, I have a pocket for rice and dishes," the girl politely said.
His grandmother was so happy because they were blessed with such hardworking and kind grandchildren
"This is your grandson, so take it and make it your fare so that you don't have to walk anymore" the grandmother insisted on the girl, the grandson did not reject the grandmother anymore and just accepted it
"Let's go. Thank you, grandma, I'm leaving" the girl instructed the grandfather and grandmother "Kyzon and Kyron take care of this, take care of grandfather and grandmother" the girl told the two brothers before leaving
"Yes, we will take care of it," replied his brother, Kyzon
"Bye sister" Kyron said
KEZELLA
I'm currently walking today, I'm wearing my uniform of white polo, blue necktie and stripe blue skirt, I paired it with black doll shoes, there are also many students who live here and study in Del Bario. My twin brother doesn't go to school that's what they say. They are both in grade 6
Wesley, my school mate, said, "Kez, ride now." Because he has a motorcycle raider
"A-ahh ... don't let me walk anymore" I refused his offer. He always asked me to go with him, but I always refused because I didn't want to be with a man because what others would think.
"You keep rejecting me," he said and I felt sorry for him. But I really don't want to, it's better if I just walk
"You know it's exercise hehe I'll go first" I said goodbye and continued to walk but he was still following me if he could irritate me he would irritate me for sure now
"Go ahead now" he persisted but I ignored him and continued walking when I didn't listen, he blocked my path
"What the hell, Wesley doesn't want to go along" I said, trying to calm myself down. It's nice to hit this book that I brought with him, it's heavy and thick
"Come along, because you might be late," he said. Won't he stop?
"He said don't" I refused again and passed him, he didn't say a word and revved the motorcycle. His skin is hayss
WHEN I got to the door of our classroom, I was suddenly nervous because the class had already started. Fuck you
I immediately grabbed the attention of everyone in my class, including our teacher, ma'am Esmeralda Robles, the strictest of all our subject teachers.
" You're late Miss Kezella Salsiva " ma'am started hard. I was even more nervous when he said my full name
"Good morning Mrs. Robles, I'm sorry I'm late" when I apologized my head was slightly bowed in shame and nervousness
"Stay there and remain standing, you're not allowed to get in because you're late. Wait there until my class is over. That's your punishment." He said authoritatively, I bit my lip because of fear and shame.
I leaned against the wall because I failed to enter his class. I'll be waiting here for two hours, why is he still our first subject teacher. He is our Academic English
"Can I go to the comfort room? "A cold goodbye from some of my classmates. I didn't look because I just turned my back because I was ashamed of my classmates
"Get out" replied ma'am flatly
Xavier is our Prince Charming in the classroom. We looked at each other for a moment. He's a type of a boy who is a snobber and doesn't care, cold and rude he just passed me because as he said he was going to CR
I can say that he is handsome because of his thick brows, pointed nose, kissable lips, add to that his beautiful eyes and his long and thick eyelashes, he is also tall and has a good posture, no wonder why many women are obsessed with him.
A few minutes ago, Xavier returned with his emotionless face still intact. Is he always angry or is his face just like that? Even though it's like that, he's even more handsome. I'm not telling this because I have a crush on him but I'm telling this because what I have said was true.
He stopped for a moment and looked at me down at the book so I was surprised. He suddenly took it from my hand without warning and entered the classroom without warning, I couldn't protest because Ma'am might scold me again
What will he do with my book?
