Chapter 6

Jaden Gartello

"MA, What are you doing here?" Napabalikwas ako sa kinahihigaan

Mom is about to cry when she landed her eyes on my bruises and wounds. She cupped my cheek. "I'm gonna sue them! I'm gonna sue the Hemeltons!" Nangagalaiti na giit ni mama

I stilled. "Who told you that Hemeltons did this to me?"

She cleared her throat. Parang nagaalinlangan pa ito. "Sunny Hemelton called me and tell what her cousins did to you."

Natigilan muli ako. Are you fucking joking Sunny? Why you acting different? You even tell that your cousins did this to me! What on earth you doing, Sunny Hemelton?

Pinilit ko'ng makatayo sa kama agad naman umalalay si mama dahil muntikan na ako matumba. Masyado talagang nabugbog ang katawan ko pero kailangan ko siya makausap. I felt like i need to talk to her.

"Anak! You're still weak! Saan kaba pupunta?"
