Leap of Blood

Paslit pa lang ako ay dito na ako naka tira sa Mindanao, hiwalay ang nanay at tatay ko sa hindi niya sinabi sa akin ang dahilan. May tatlo akong nakakatandang kapatid sa ama. First, Dos, and Third. Si third ay 5 taong gulang noon ng ako'y isinilang, si Dos ay 7 taon, si First naman ang nakakatandang kapatid ay 10. May dalawa rin akong kapatid na lalake sa nanay ko. My 2 brother is been abroad kasama ang tatay nila at magulang nito. Nasa abroad na sila even since before our mother my Elena re-marry my father Manuel Ramos. Ang pangalan ng nakakatandang kapatid ko ay Shawn Cross at ikalawa ay Seth Cross. Kaedad lang si Shawn at Dos at Seth at Third. Today is Friday, 3 days from now is my 18th birthday and i want to celebrate my b-day to Boracay together with my friend but my mother is cannot be able to accompany me because she still has things that she need to go. My Mother own a farm here in Bukidnon. She inherited the farm from her grandparents. Technically, my mother is from a well-off family. Since she her only child from her parents. She solely inherited the wealth. My name is Alecia, 17 turning 18. I am living with my mother since then, i haven't heard any news about my father from her. I think she avoided any topic from my father's. The only reference that i have from my father is the Album i accidentally find from the attic in my house. Good thing, i inherated the good genes from my parents, because i am so beautiful. I had many admirers that lining up. However, i haven't entertain even one of my admirers. I am still not ready yet, because i know in-depth inside me is still waiting to meet my father. I still need love that my father only can offer. I prepared my bags and luggage for my outing at pumanhik na upang magpahatid para sa sakayan ng barko ng driver namin. Nang makarating ako sa boracay a day before my b-day. Pumunta na ako sa room ko para maka pahinga na rin sa haba ng byahe. Umuna na ako sa friend ko pumunta dito sa boracay, hindi na kami nag kasabyan kasi may isasama 'raw siya na pinsan niya. Pumayag na rin ako kasi mas marami mas masaya. Hapon na ng nagising ako. I texted my friend asking where she is. And says, she's in her room and planning to party tonight since ito naman ang pinunta namin dito of course sasama ako. This is the first time that i party so i am so excited to experience what the adult is previlege to do. I am planning to get drunk and be wasted tonight, I am so excite! Winasak ko ang maleta ko upang mamili ng maiisusuot. (Manuel Pov) I am Manuel Ramos a separated man, I am 43 years old, my son's mother concieve my eldest when I was a 14 and became officially a father when 15. I am a teen back then and easily to fall in love. Hindi pa uso ang withrawal maybe also lack basic education when in comes to s-x. Even so, I love my son, hindi ko pinagsisihan na nagmahal ako ng maaga. My first wife is the same age to me, she have been pregnant to our 2nd child when when got married at the age of 18, tumigil na ito sa pag aaral kaya ng maipanganak ang pangalawa na sundan naman ito ng pangatlo. Pero, nag karoon siya ng leukemia when she concieve our youngest son, the doctor advices that we need to abort the child so that we can continue the medication. But, she disagrees to my plea to her. She firmly said that she need to diliver our 3rd child first before she undergo treatment. Naipanganak niya na safe ang anak namin kaya sumuko na ang katawan na kay namatay rin. 4 children, tatlong lalake at isang babae, i have been heartbroken in years until i am 24 years old that time, after visiting my wife grave, I've meet Elena in a bar. She is 23 year old back then, nag kita sila sa bar. Si Elena noon ay bagong pa naghiwalay sa boyfriend nito na siya rin ang ama ng mga anak niya. I comforted her at napaluwag ang loob sa isa't-isa kaya after a month's of courtship they became a couple and get married. I am 25 years old she concieve my princess. Sadly, i was so drunk that time and didn't remember who i've slept with, nakipaghiwalay siya. Since, when the child is still a toddler the custody is goes directly to the mother. Until I've been missing my baby, i haven't witness her first word, first walk and every first that a child shoud encounter. I am here in boracay for a business meeting with my third son, Third. I am planning to unwind and bond with my sons,pero and dalawa ay hindi pwede. "Dad, sasama ka ba sa'kin mamaya?", Third asked. "Saan?", tanong ko. Tumingin siya labas bintana, appreciting the view and answered "Sa bar, mag pa-party at maghahanap na din ng babae" ngumisi ito ng nakaloloko. "Loko, sige sasama ako, madali lang namin kaming matatapos ng ka-meeting ko." (Elena POV) I am Elena Saavedra, i have been separated to my husband for 18 years.

"Hi!" i greeted when i entered the room, I saw the two women that busy applying their hair and make up infront of the mirror "Friend here you are", my friend greeted back. "Oh! by the way friend. Kath and Jean, Kath is the one appying make and Jean, the one curling her hair, my cousins," pakilala niya sa mga pinsan niya. I smiled at them,"nice to meet you". They greeted back. 11 in the evening, nang nakarating na kami sa bar. Jean and I directly goes to the table that we reserve in advance, while Kath and May ay dumiretso sa counter upang umorder ng drinks at appetizer namin. When we they arrived may kasama na silang mga waiter na nag se-serve ng orders. Nang nasa kalagitnaan na kami ng inuman, we started dancing in the ryhthm of the beat echoed inside the bar. Uminit ang pakiramdam ko at ang parang ang init, so i started unbuckling few of the beads on my dress relieving my cleavage. Sumayaw kami ng sumayaw kasama ng init ng nararamdaman ng may lalaking pumunta sa table namin. "Hi", i looked up at him sleepyly amd smiled "Hello!" "Pwede ba magpapakilala?" he smiled at us revealing his perfect white-teeth. His so perfect and good looking. " Yes! Siya lang ang Single dito! pwedeng-pwede" sabay tulak niya sakin. Dala sa init ng pakiramdam at siguro magaan na rin loob ko sa lalake. I extented my arms at him "Hi, im Alec", tinanggap niya naman ang kamay ko. "Third" pakilala niya. He joined our table and sat quitly, habang kami ay nagpatuloy pa rin sa pagsasayaw. Dala na rin siguro sa gamot na inilagay nila May sa drinks namin. "Do you mind, i-inbitahan ko ang kasama ko dito". Tumango lang kami. Tumayo naman siya at lumakad palabas, siguro susunduin ang kasama niya. " Hindi rin nag tagal ay may kasama na itong lalaking nakakalaglag panty ang ka pogian. Kung gwapo na si Third ay mas na attract ako sa ka pogian ng bagong rating na kasama. Siguro kuya niya, hawig kasi niya. At saka ang gaan-gaan ang loob ko sa kanila. Na tila na matagal na kaming magkakilala. "Kasama ko, Dad ko". Nalaglag ang mga panga namin apat sa sinabi ni Third. "Really!?" Manghang saan namin tatlo. " Yes, hindi ba kami magkamukha?", nakangising sabi ni Third samin. "Akala namin Kuya mo", saad ni May "Kung wala lang kaming boyfriend aakitin ko kayo", biro nitong tumatawa. "Sayang, single sana kami parehas". sagot nito kay Jean. Binatukan ng Ama si Third," puro ka biro" sabi nitong nakangisi. Kanina pa ako nakatitig dito gwapong-gwapo. I felt attracted to him at the same time had the sense of familiarity, ika nga matagal na kami nagkilala. Nag tagbo ang paningin namin, umiwas ako at tumingin kay Kath. " By the way, Manuel. Third's Father, sana hindi kami naka abala." Nag sabi naman si May na " We are happy we have a company like yours" Manuel smiled. May check her watch and stand up "a moment" goes to the counter together with her two cousins. 12:00 nang bumalik sila may kasama na push cart na sa ibabaw nito ay malaking cake at may malaking 18th candle sa ibabaw. Nang paparating na sila ay nag simula si May, Kath, at Jean kumanta ng happy birthday. After nag kantahan, at pag bati. Nag order sila May ng panibagong alak. Umupo na rin kami dahil init na init na. After a moment May, Kath, Jean's boyfriends arrive. They took thier sit in partner. Jean{b}, Kath{b}, May {b}, ako, Third, and Manuel. (b means their boyfriends) May look at her cousins and smiled schemingly. "Third can you please, change a sit with my friend? nagseselos ako pag may katabing iba ang boyfriend ko na babae please". Third look at her and nod. "Of course", i glared at her and she smile at inocently. I have no choice to change the sit with Third.
