Your Life is Mine

Trexie 's Story

Trexie Gray [POV]

All my life I never felt my mom's love for me. Feeling ko nakakulong ako, kung ano yung gusto niya dapat yun ang susundin ko. I never met my dad kasi sabi ni mommy, iniwan kami ng daddy ko nong nalaman niyang buntis si mommy, Hindi narin ako nagtanong about him kasi every time na tinatanong ko yung mommy ko lagi siyang nagagalit.

One night she told me na kailangan na naming bumalik kasi I have to do something for her sake daw. I love my life here is US, nakapag settle na kami kaya I don't really know bakit kailangan pa naming bumalik don?

" mom, okay naman yung life natin dito ah, bakit kailangan nating umuwi? " I asked.

" I told you before kung anong sabi ko gagawin mo! "

" but mom, paano yung buhay ko dito? iiwan ko nalang ng ganon ganon lang? "

" Ayokong pag-usapan pa natin to, uuwi tayo and that's final! "

" kahit sabihin niyo lang sa akin kung bakit para maintindihan ko naman kayo. "

My suddenly crying and then she decided to tell me everything.

" It's about your dad. Kaya pala ayaw niya tayong panindigan dahil may iba syang nabuntis nong panahong yun, and guess what? masaya sila ngayon habang tayong dalawa ni hindi man lang niya kinakamusta. Galit ako sa sarili ko kasi dahil sakin kaya wala kang ama. "

This is the first time na nakita kong umiiyak yung mommy ko kaya nasasaktan ako for her.

" okay tell me mom kung anong dapat kong gawin para mawala yung galit mo? tell me and I'll do everything para sayo, so please don't cry. " and I hugged her.

" Pumasok ka sa buhay nila, kilalanin mo yung anak niya, sabihin mo sa'kin lahat ng kilos nila! " my mom said.

" What are you planning to do mom? "

" Hindi pwedeng pamilya lang natin ang sira, kailangan mo ring sirain pamilya nila para maramdaman nila yung nararamdaman natin ngayon! "

A Few Hours Later

Hindi ako makatulog. Hanggang ngayon iniisip ko parin yung pinapagawa sa'kin ng mommy ko. Ayokong makasakit ng tao pero pag di ko ginawa ang gusto niya siya ang masasaktan ko. Wala talaga akong choice sa buhay ko. Kasalanan to ng daddy ko, kung hindi niya lang kami pinagpalit sanan maayos ang buhay ko ngayon, sana hindi nakakaramdam ng galit yung mommy ko ngayon.

Nagising ako dahil sa ingay ng cellphone ko.

[boyfriend is calling]

" hello? "

" is it true? "

" about what? "

" that you're going to Philippines? "

" I'm sorry I forgot to tell you last night. "

" so, are you gonna leave me here? just like that? "

" I'm sorry. "

" don't call me ever again! " And then hung up.

And just like that, my boyfriend broke up with me. Unti-unting nawawala sa'kin yung mga bagay at taong Nagpapasaya sa akin. Kahit umiyak pa ako nang umiyak ngayon wala narin naman akong magagawa .

" you have to pack your stuff now, maaga yung flight natin. We have no time to waste. "

Habang naglalakad ako palabas ng airport I bumped into someone. I picked my passport and then tumingin ako sa kanya. "it's him. James Sevilla " Yeah I know him, I did research about Alexandrea.

" I'm sorry, did I hurt you? "

" no, I'm fine. "

" are you sure? "

" Yeah, I'm sure. I'm okay, bye. "

AT HOME

" San ba kasi napunta yun? " Grabe sobrang tanga ko na ba talaga? I'm sure na pinasok ko sa bulsa ko yung headset ko pero di ko na mahanap. nakakainis!

" you're looking for something? "

" wala mom, naglilinis lang po. "

" papasok ka na tomorrow. "

" po? don't tell na sa Delton Hospital mo po ako papapasukin? "

" no, sa Pedelton. makikilala mo na yung anak nila bukas ."

" okay po. "

Natatakot ako sa gagawin ko, paano pag nakilala ako ng daddy ko? paano kung di ko magawa yung mga pinapagawa ni mommy?

At Office

" ummmm, good morning prof. I'm Trexie Gray the new intern at your department po. " bati ko sa proffesor ko.

" good morning! Wow! I'm impressed you're early. Just wait for a little bit and dadating na yung mga kasama mo. So, you're from the US right? "

"Yes Prof. "

" there's a lot of famous Hospitals there so, why did you choose us? "

" I don't know sir, pakiramdam ko lang nandito yung future ko. " And the doors suddenly open.

" they're here. "

Pinakilala sila sa'kin isa isa ng Prof. namin.

" so, it's you. " James.

" what? " I asked.

" we've met before, remember? "

" I'm sorry, I don't know what are you talking about. "

" at the airport, we bumped into each other. "

" Owww yeah I remember now. Nice meeting you again " then I smile.

Alexandrea looks annoyed at me. Is it because of her boyfriend? or she really just don't like me?
