The Veil of Vengeance

Chapter 1

“Katya, come here,” I looked at my mom who called me. I walked towards her.

“Chto sluchilos', mamochka?,” “What is it, mommy?”

“Chto ya tebe govorila o tom, chtoby govorit' na nashem rodnom yazyke, Katya?” “What did I tell you about on speaking our own language, Katya?” I pouted at mommy.

I know how to speak in english and filipino, but when I am talking to my parents, I am used on speaking Russian.

“Eto proiskhodit samo soboy, mama, kogda ya razgovarivayu s toboy ili s papoy,” “It's coming naturally mom, when I am talking to you or daddy”

I told her. He breathed deeply on what I said.

“But make sure to still talk using tagalog,”

I nodded at her.

“Yes po mommy,”

“That’s good baby,” naka ngiting sagot nito sa akin. Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya.

I watched her make her way into the kitchen to cook or bake something, after we lived here in the philippines, mom became a simple housewife while dad is working in his company here in the philippines.

Compared to our life in russia, our life here in the philippines is not that grand but it’s peaceful. I am wondering why my parents decided to live here despite of having our life in Russia.

“Kat, let’s play na!”

Tumingin ako sa mga batang kalaro ko. Simula nang lumipat kami rito ay marami na agad akong naging kaibigan dahil palagi ko silang binibigyan ng chocolates.

“Coming!” naka ngiting sagot ko at agad akong nag lakad papunta sa kanila.

“Hi,” naka ngiting bati ko sa dalawang na datnan ko sa labas ng bahay namin.

“Kat, kumain ka na ba?” naka ngiting tanong nila sa akin.

“Yes, tapos na,” medyo na hihirapan pa ako sa pag sasalita ng tagalog pero na iintindihan naman nila ang sina sabi ko kaya naman ayos na iyon para sa akin.

“Let’s play! Let’s play!” sigaw nila. Tumango ako at sumunod ako sa dalawa na tumakbo papunta sa playground malapit sa bahay.

“In Russia Kat, are there lots of playgrounds there?” Anne asked me.

“Yes, but I don’t play on playgrounds dahil wala naman akong playmate kasi,” naka ngiting sagot ko sa kanila.

“Really? So we are your first playmate?” naka ngiting tanong nila sa akin. Tumango ako sa kanila.

“Yes,”

Third person point of view….

The little girl’s life is full of love and joy because of her parents’ love, hindi na niya kailangan pang isipin kung anong kamalian ang pwede niyang magawa, hindi tulad ng batang lalaking kasalukuyang naka higa sa kama at hinang hina ang katawan niya.

“Anne, çok yorgunum.” “Mom, I am tired” ani ng batang lalaki. Awang awa ang ina ng batang lalaki habang naka titig sa mga sugat ng anak niya na nasa katawan nito.

Bawat latay ng latigo na sumugat sa katawan nito, ang bawat dugo na namakas sa balat niya, wala nang ma gawa ang ina nito kung hindi umiiyak na pag masdan ang kanyang anak.

“Çok üzgünüm bebeğim, babanın sana bunu yapmasını engelleyemedim” I am so sorry baby, I could not stop your dad for doing this to you,” sambit ng ina habang marahang hina haplos ang parte ng katawan ng bata na walang sugat.

Nag iingat ang ina na huwag ma hawakan ang kahit anong sugat ng kanyang anak para hindi maka ramdam ng kahit anong hapdi ang bata. Hindi nito gusto ang gina gawa ng kanyang asawa sa anak nila pero wala siyang ma gawa kung hindi umiyak at pag amsdan ang pag hihirap ng kanyang anak.

“Lütfen annenin babanın sana bunu yapmasına izin vermesinden dolayı onu affet.” “Please forgive mom for allowing your dad to do this to you”

Agad na umiling ang batang lalaki sa sinabi ng kanyang ina.

“Bu senin suçun değil, babamın doğru zaman geldiğinde beni hazırlama şekli, değil mi? Bana bunu yapmam gerektiğini söyledi ki gelecekte seni koruyabileyim, seni ne kadar çok sevdiğimi biliyorsun anneciğim.” “It's not your fault, it's dad way to ready me when the right times comes right? he told me I need to do this so I can protect you in the future, you know how much I love you mommy”

Malumanay na sagot ng bata kaya mas lalong na iyak ang ina nang ma rinig niya ang sinabi ng kanyang anak.

After that mother child and talk, Eren instantly fell asleep due to his tiredness. Eren’s mother stood up and clearly didn't know what to do. She looked at her sleeping son, she cannot endure seeing Eren in a situation like that.

Also her relationship with her husband is not going well, her husband is cheating with other women while neglecting her. She doesn’t want this kind of life anymore but she cannot do anything about it.

One last look on her son, then she decided to do the thing she wants to do a long time ago.

She killed herself in her own room. With her son sleeping soundly in the next room, she was hanged on her own room, leaving all her pain and her misery in this world.

One loud scream wake Eren up. He instantly got up in his bed.

“Mom?” he called out for his mom, but no one came. He got up in his bed and decided to find his mom.

“What is happening here?” he asked the maids.

One maid who saw him and heard his question faced him with tears in her eyes.

“Young master, your mom,”

“What happened to my mom?”

“She is dead,”

Eren felt like his ears got blocked with something that he forgot that he can still hear.

“What do you mean? Mom was just here awhile ago,”

“She hanged herself in her own room, young master,” those words that made Eren instantly crush his own world.
