Morgan Kyle Lexington

I think I just cried a river while packing my things inside my Louis Vuitton suitcase.   I was not allowed to bring anything inside my room except for my shirts, underwear, and pants. My dad is going to check my luggage later kaya wala akong lusot sa kanya.

That damn old squid! I'm sure Satan is shaking na sa impyerno. How dare he punish an angel like me?!

I mean I'm not that much like an angel with my personality BUT look at this face, everyone. Kahit si Jesus mapapa-sign of the cross. I'm just that person born with godly looks.

Haters will say I don't. But do I care about them? Absolutely N to O that's a NO.

"Why the fuck are you crying, Morgan?" My attention was snatched by an ugly bitch with fifty tits.

"Shut up, Mhara." I sniffed as I place the last shirt inside my suitcase. I'm not even allowed to bring two luggages. I have to fit everything inside this. I have four towels kaya mas lalo akong nahirapan sa mga clothes ko. m "If you truly think na I'm your best cousin, you will help me na magnakaw sa bank."

Mhara sat at the edge of my bed and traced my bag with his dirty hands. Dirty kasi I'm sure he used it to finger his asshole. Chos!

"That's the problem, Morgan Kyle. You're not my best cousin. Isipin mo nalang na bakasyon 'to."

Vacation?! Is he mad? I glared at his face and smack his hand away from my precious baby.

"Vacation my ass! May vacation ba na first day pa lang gusto ko ng mag-suicide?! You don't understand what I'm feeling right now, Mhara. This," I picked up my skincare kit and my jewelry that are forced to be left and continued crying, "and this is my life, Mhara. Hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa akin if I don't have this. I won't look presentable na. Everyone will look down on me and will make fun of me kasi dry na ang skin ko! These are essentials! Do you understand me ba?"

"No!" He answered immediately before picking up an unan from the corner and throw it to me. "You crazy brat! 'Yan pa talaga inaalala mo. You should be thinking how to apologize to your dad right now at baka maurong pa ang desisyon niya."

I gasped dramatically and covered my mouth. "Oh, my gee! Are you for real, Mhara? Why in the world would I ask for his forgiveness? I did nothing wrong! He's the one who should apologize to me and kiss on my feet. Ipatapon pa niya ako sa Mars, I don't care."

Mhara rolled his eyes at me at saka ibinagsak ang body niya sa bed ko. My fluffy bed! I'm reminded again of my tear-jerking situation. How could I, Morgan Kyle Lexington, sleep on an ugly, hard wooden bed?! I will break my back!

"I don't know anymore, Morgan. Ang matutulong lang namin sa'yo ay magbigay ng pera. I can't give you much dahil nakabantay din si dad sa mga transactions ko. Your dad asked our parents na pabantayan kami at baka sakaling tulungan ka namin."

I feel like crying again. I feel so helpless! But I'm touched rin kasi they made me borrow money. I know naman na naiirita sila sometimes sa beauty ko dahil naiinggit sila but they still chose to love me despite knowing nga na I'm much more beautiful than them.

"What about lola?"

These past few days simula noong pinagalitan ako ni dad, I couldn't contact my lola na. I think dad did something. Hindi rin kasi ako makalabas ng house yesterday kasi di ako pinayagan ni dad. Ang sama niya talaga! What na lang ang mangyayari kung hindi makikita ni lola ang beauty ko, right? I could imagine her weeping pitifully in her four corner, Pau liniment smelling room na. My poor lola.

"Nasa Germany si lola. She visited Jon."

Nanlalanta akong napahiga sa bed ko. I'm done. I have no way out na talaga!

I rolled my eyes when I heard the continuous knocking sa door ko. I can already guess who's at the other side of the door.

"Sir Morgan, pinapababa na po kayo ng dad ninyo." Tilli's tiny voice stimulated my anger even more. This cheap bitch! Ang kapal ng face niyang pumasok-pasok sa house namin pagkatapos ko siyang mahuli na bl-in-ow blow job si dad sa office niya dito.

Hindi ko siya sinagot at hinayaan lang na katok-katukin ang door ko. "Sir? Sir Morgan?"

"Sir Morgan galit na po ang dad niyo."

I looked at my nails and admired them. How pretty! I love the green gel on it. May diamonds pa. Pinasadya ko talaga na green ang color ng nails ko para matchy-matchy kami ng environment ko sa province. Lakas maka #Environmentalist #Earthwarriornapretty! Love it talaga.

Nang tumigil na ang pagkatom bumangon na ako sa bed ko at kinuha ang suitcase ko mula sa ibabaw ng bed. I pulled it's handle at saka dinampot ang Miu Miu sunglasses ko mula sa aking shelf. I faced my full body mirror and smiled wickedly.

So beautiful! So perfect, Morgan Kyle.

"Mhara, jacket!" I commanded with my eyes still on the petite figure in front of me.

My world swayed and I lost my balance when Mhara shoved me to the side. Oh no! I think na broken na 'yong bones ko! This bitch! I glared at him at akma siyang sisipain pero mabilis siyang nakailag sa kick ko.

He threw the jacket on me, crossed his arms. There was a mocking smile on his face as he looked at me. "You know what, Morgan, I like looking at you from here. You look so weak and...pathetic. You're a brat but I'm the bitch, Morgan. Don't order the bitch around cause I bite. Okay? See you when I see you. Good luck with being poor. Ipapadala ko na lang ang pera pag nandoon ka na sa province ninyo.  Byeee my cousin dear. Have fun!"

At nag-flying kiss pa ang crazy sa akin bago niya ako nilagpasan at lumabas ng door.

I screamed loudly and hit the mirror with my balled fist. "Fuck you, Mhara! I'm so gonna kick your face when I see you again!"

The jacket fell on the floor as soon as I stood up but I did not bother to pick it up. I stomped on it and kicked it away from me. Bwiset!

I snatched the handle of my suitcase and dragged it out my room down to the first floor where my dear parents are waiting. Wala ang magaling kong kuya dahil busy na naman sa work. Wala naman akong pake if he's here or wala. He always acts naman na I'm an eyesore at gan'on din ako sa kanya, so his presence is insignificant. Never ko pa yatang naramdaman na he's my kuya.

I saw my mom sitting on the single-person sofa looking so weak and useless as ever habang magkatabi naman si dad at ang secretary niya. What a sight to behold.

I faked a gasped at maarteng napahawak sa dibdib ko. "Oh my! I thought family matters ito? Why naman merong kabit na nakikisawsaw sa drama natin for today?"

"Morgan!"

"Morgan Kyle!"

At sabay pa talaga silang mag-asawang tumawag sa name ko. Feel na feel ko tuloy 'yong love nila for me. Did you feel it rin ba?

"What ba? I'm just telling the truth lang naman no. Anyway, I'll get going na. Dad, did you ask the driver na ba to prepare the car? I can't wait to get out of here na kasi. Masyado ng madaming basura at plastic." I looked at Tilli and smiled sweetly. "It's bad for the health. You know naman me 'di ba? I'm health conscious."

"Morgan, 'wag ka namang ganiyan, anak. Tilli, I'm so sorry," Ang paghingi ng paumanhin ni mama sa kanya.

Gusto kong sumabog sa galit nang marinig konm ang sagot ng makapal ang mukhang si Tillipandas. "Don't worry. Sanay na ako."

My father cleared his throat and met my eye. Wala akong ibang gustong gawin sa time na 'to kung hindi ang i-wash ang eyeballs ko ng holy water.

"Rodil will check your luggage first, Morgan, pagkatapos ay ihahatid ka na ni  Jude sa terminal. From there you will ride a bus to your lola's province."

"WHAT?! Are you crazy?! Have you really lost your mind, you old piece of shit?! You can't do this to me!" I can no longer stop my mouth from spouting poison. Gusto kong magwala.

Naiiyak kong tiningnan si mama pero umiwas siya ng tingin.

Tiningnan ko si dad na sininyasan si Rodil na kunin ang suitcase ko para i-check ang mga laman n'on. "You know na hindi ako marunong mag-ride nf bus, dad! Do you really want me to die?! What if may gustong kumidnap sa akin!? What if patayin ako on the spot ng mga kalaban mo?! You're so fucking heartless! I'm your child, damn you!" 

"ENOUGH!" Saglit na natahimik ang buong paligid nang malakas na sumigaw si dad. "Enough talking nonsense, Morgan Kyle. You will do what I say and that's final. Naiintindahan mo?"

"NO! I don't understand! I will never understand you, dad. Are you that excited to get rid of me para malaya na kayong makapaglandian niyang pokpok mong secretary huh? Gusto niyo akong umalis para ipamukha kay mama kung gaano kayo kalalandi, gan'on ba, dad?

I never asked you to be my father, dad. And I never asked a complete family, ma." Sunod-sunod na bumagsak sa pisnge ko ang malalaking butil ng luha.

"You punished me for being bad, but have you ever wondered if you have been a good parent to me? to us? Kung may problema kayong dalawa sana naghiwalay na lang kayo. Tngna niyo naman, ma, dad. 'Wag kayong nandadamay ng anak. Mas mabuti pa nga kung pina-abort niyo na lang ako. Hindi niyo naman pala kayang maging parents. Ang lalakas ng loob ninyo.

Do you know how it feels to be forgettin huh dad? Mas naaalala mo pang i-celebrate ang birthday ng anak ninyo niyang kabit mo kesa sa akin na buhay. Do you even know how old I am? Alam mo pa ba 'yon?!"

I could hear a ringing in my ears after I burst. Ganito talaga ako always kapag nagiging emotional ng sobra. I feel like going deaf any second.

I do have a lot of resentment in my heart. I have a lot of hatred and bitterness hidden beneath. I hate when it starts to resurface whenever we have confrontations like this. It makes me feel weak and pathetic. I feel powerless and dumb. Para na naman akong aapihin ulit ng mundo.

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga at pinunasan ang mga luha sa pisnge ko. Buti na lang naka-shades ako. I looked at my dad and mom and laughed sarcastically in my mind. Dad's eyes was fixed on my suitcase while my mother just silently cried in the corner. 

Of course, what do I expect from them? Na magso-sorry sila? Na sasabihin nilang aayusin nila ang family namin? Ha! Funny.

It's my birthday next week. I should be thinking about what should I wear and where should I celebrate my birthday right now instead of this shit. Pero anong magagawa ko?

In their eyes, I'm Morgan the brat. Everyone is rooting for me to change into a goody two-shoes. Ang funny lang kasi. My parents are so eager to fix me when they can't even fix their own lives.

"Sir, ok na po ang bag." Nilingon ko si kuya Rodil na inaabot sa akin ang handle ng suitcase ko. I stared at it for a second before wrapping my fingers around the top.

I did not bother pa na lingunin silang three. They don't deserve it.

Paglabas ko ng door, agad kong nakita ang black car na sasakyan ko until sa terminal. I want to runaway. Pero I realize din na pag lumayas ako, kay lola Mae pa din naman ako pupunta.

She's not a bad lola naman. Poor lang talaga siya.

"Morgan!" I was about to close the door ng  car nang marinig kong tinatawag ako ng mama ko.

I did not move. I don't want to talk to her but I still want to listen to what she's going to say.

"M-Morgan, anak, mag-ingat ka. Bibisita si mama sa'yo."

I rolled my eyes. "No need. I don't want to see you. Sisirain mo lang ang day ko."
I slammed the door shut and commanded kuya Jude to go na. I don't want to spend any more seconds in this place.

The ride to the terminal was fast and silent. I was not in the mood to judge people's fashion sense.

Kuya Jude parked the car outside the bus terminal. There were a lot of people going in and out of it. I was overwhelmed.

"Sir, ito na po ang pera. Doon po kayo sa mga puting bus pumila." I grab the money without looking at kuya Jude. Nakatingin pa rin ako sa entrance ng terminal.

"Una na po ako, sir," ang paalam ni kuya nang makitang nagtatawag na 'yong guy na naka-uniform ng mga passengers para sa mga puting bus. "Ingat po kayo."

Despite feeling nauseous and suffocated, I continued walking towards the bus habang hila-hila ang suitcase ko. I made pila together with the passengers kasi 'yon ang sinabi ni kuyang naka-uniform.

I can feel everyone's gazes on me. I don't know what they're thinking but I do love the attention.

Unfortunately hindi kami nagtagal sa line. I feel bad to my new set of admirers and haters but there's nothing much I can do about it.

"Why is this so heavy ba?" I tried to lift my suitcase pasakay ng bus pero it's so mabigat.

Nilingon ko si kuyang naka-uniform but he's very far. Jesus! What the hell is he doing? Ano bang silbi niya dito? He's not the driver naman dahil may nakaupo na sa driver sit.

"Hoy, bakla, matagal pa ba 'yan?! Jusko ang init-init na! Kanina ka pa diyan."

I squinted my eyes at the guy who just called me bakla. How dare he call me that? Are we close ba?

"Don't you da—" I was about to talk back na sana nang may malaking bulto ng katawan ang humarang sa paningin ko. I felt scared for a brief moment. He was looming over me. His shadows completely hid my figure.

"Nagmamadali ako. Papasok ka ba o hindi?" His deep voice sounded so strict, distant and cold.

The words I was about to fire kanina suddenly vanished. Sunod-sunod akong napalunok. I can't even look up to him! Ang shirt niya lang na hapit na hapit sa body niya ang nakikita. The poor shirt looks like it's trying its best to hold itself together.

"I...I... I c-can not lift my bag papasok sa bus kasi." My voice became quiter as it reaches the end.

"Tulungan na kita." I shivered when I heard his voice again.

"O-okay."

I unconsciously took a step back when he leaned towards para abutin ang suitcase. ko. Napasunod ang tingin ko sa braso niyang inaabot ang suitcase ko sa aking gilid. Look at those bulky arms! His body's too... it's..it's too my type!

He lifted my bag so effortlessly and walk pass me para pumasok sa bus bitbit ang bag ko. Mabilis akong nag-follow sa kanya papasok. He's literally occupying almost all the space inside the bus. Ang taas! Napadaing ako ng bigla siyang tumigil kaya tumama 'yong face ko sa back niya.

"Saan ka uupo?" Ang tanong niya sa akin saka ako nilingon.

My eyes almost popped out of their socket and my jaw almost dropped when I saw his face. HOELY MOTHER OF ALL MANWHORE!

I was supposedly going to rewrite the whole LS2 because I was really dissatisfied with what I wrote in the first chapter. BUT I reread it again and found out na mas better ang first chapter 1 na ginawa ko kesa dito sa bago. My classes are still ongoing so I can't promise a regular update po. But thank you for your never-ending support and for not getting tired of waiting for my updates. Thank you po! Byeeee
