P.O.V - STEPHANIE

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBKjesvEPr

Hindi ako umakyat agad sa kwarto.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ErjGPq6VW

Sa halip, dumiretso ako sa kusina.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD7NG7UAGF

Kailangan ko lang ng tubig.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN2Tr1u7VM

Kahit saglit.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyELHdcudO3

Kahit isang minuto lang na walang makikita.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l6nGS7xp6

Walang Dad.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC2ZVY4CRr

Walang Clifford.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmkAUpckz3

Walang Shairah.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4rbbmLFkJ

At lalong walang mga alaala.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRasanqWN83

Pero kahit saan ako pumunta sa bahay na ito-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzH2br4qMV

parang may naghihintay na multo.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzW7yim1pU

Binuksan ko ang refrigerator.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5yQ3Fd2zE

Kumuha ako ng tubig.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUufOKo277

At nang isasara ko na sana ang pinto

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz74EHhHWPY

"Stephanie."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhcUrNZ5OM

Napapikit ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoxUZhxoFl

Of course.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AqtFLxqEk

Si Dad.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKDYMqPP74

Dahan-dahan akong humarap.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GIaUux4DP

"Yes?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtmXYJ4ZPi

Nakatayo siya sa may pintuan.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyc4Bzjn9k

"Bakit ganyan ka makitungo kay Clifford?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCCKBXzPIA

Napabuntong-hininga ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5h4XVbY0O

"Again?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkamPVmFfP

"I'm asking you seriously."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelc4ah6eUV

Inilapag ko ang baso.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITe1jnYJuA

"And I'm answering seriously."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlvyqr97Mw

Tinitigan ko siya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhIPndtU6y

"I don't like him."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eMSLAmaRm

"You don't have to like him."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgmOgnrhl7

Tumango ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZbq9O6ve

"Exactly."»

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvCpj8mYtI

"But you have to respect him."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJ4OK9Gy8

Napatawa ako nang mahina.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdPFLEkhes

"Respect?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGkFP14buK

Lumapit siya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlEEbQh3MD

"He's your brother."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGBV08wqHn

Muli na naman.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq862xAgnWq

Brother.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKUckYaFUe

Parang salitang paulit-ulit nilang ipinipilit sa akin hanggang sa makalimutan ko kung ano talaga ang pamilya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnuhmvSPqR

"No."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHVUKTs4Y

"Stephanie."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYZ4eAng31

"He's not."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwsmxQP2gc

Lumalim ang boses niya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7EbJCyj7d

"Enough."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I2CjD138w

Hindi ako umiwas ng tingin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYRxo90WDn

"You can force me to call him whatever you want."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSdVH1pB6v

Huminga ako nang malalim.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlWkD8ORzT

"But you can't force me to feel like he's my brother."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18NaN0QVgP

Nanahimik siya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQIKTrEcQH

At sa unang pagkakataon-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQf2u8S4nV

parang wala siyang maisagot.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ3tiUNBDO

Pero bago pa siya magsalita, may narinig kaming yabag.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlh64BCl1A

Si Clifford.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa43Vvey3BO

"Dad?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ATqVRLtb8

Agad nagbago ang ekspresyon ni Dad.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMAUuDyicy

"Yes, son?

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFM8DA5BDE

Son.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlOcS7PMTJ

Napatingin ako sa kanilang dalawa.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv6UVWOFkJ

Ang lambing ng boses niya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoWyS0yZNW

Ang lambing na matagal ko nang hindi naririnig para sa amin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BHdJmUnie

«"May kailangan ka po?"»

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguvZSWklkb

«"Wala. Kumain ka na?"»

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5n9NW3eAr

Tumango si Clifford.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLwnVwegc

«"Yes."»

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7z9NNXhq

«"Good."»

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXIrc39ou

Napailing ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWk4zqrdeZ

Of course.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEymw0M1IB0

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero biglang kumulo ang dugo ko.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc8CmA70xU

Hindi dahil may ginawa si Clifford.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkEr0mN0oB

Kundi dahil sa isang simpleng pag-uusap-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg8zvXOBpq

nakita ko na naman kung paano nagbago ang bahay namin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡognXReTx2v

Dati...

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXiUScMGtB

kami ang tinatanong niya kung kumain na.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvmbOzf7G

Kami ang hinihintay niyang umuwi.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODvnIq2DT

Kami ang tinatawag niyang son at daughter.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBThLmtcsw

Ngayon-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBvn9KlD3j

parang may bagong pamilya na siya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcEc24p1G6

At kami?

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1XKrRUevI

Parang mga bisitang naiwan sa lumang bahay.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUH0HTjhzZ

Tumalikod ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JeZeKfhv0

«"I'm going upstairs."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx5dud71Ml

«"Stephanie."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkaZVyldgW

Hindi ako huminto.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqjjbkp99w

"What?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0HNv6frOr

"Don't start anything."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybEza9Mbf

Napangiti ako nang mapait.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouWzXLHlMO

"I'm not the one who started it."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsZxz6W3uW

Umakyat ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8wXnx9s3k

Pagdating ko sa kwarto-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiExZMtR8Dt

nandoon si Shairah.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNqWmlZc3

Nakaupo siya sa kama.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJXgAiDKS6

May hawak na libro.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHoJjA4xt

Napatingin siya sa akin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NBo0i2fPv

"What happened?"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojC3iRxV99

"Nothing."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dCsFd3L7h

"You look angry."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSPl3rF1WI

I'm fine.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7EjjfGzF4

Tahimik siyang tumingin sa akin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjqhSj6Wzx

Alam ko ang tinging iyon.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Y3H4fEtv

Dati, isang tingin lang niya-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9v8heWzUW

alam na niya kung nagsisinungaling ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjReNS1vt0r

At mukhang ganoon pa rin siya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMT0WCyFDB

"You're lying."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoISDgZRH7

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjKKVriRr3

Sandali akong natahimik.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ANmDe8Nt

Then I laughed softly.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJXXhLMse2

"You still know me."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhdie3xFtg

Hindi siya ngumiti.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFDF7aiyHk

"I never stopped knowing you."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXupl3i14

Napahinto ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif9wNQUYy7

May kung anong kumurot sa dibdib ko.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QUrv1lWn

Pero bago pa ako makasagot-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6e2p2qiTI

may narinig kaming tawag mula sa ibaba.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp82SZBVBb

"Clifford!"

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEYN5FjKWn

Boses ni Dad.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsx7iB2t7p

Napatingin si Shairah sa pinto.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX5ovCWZIO

Pagkatapos ay sa akin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nVQitix8M

"You should rest."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd7ePdAC2i

Tumango ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM6yTpLiTJ

"Yeah."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aY54GgZh3

Pero bago siya muling bumaling sa libro-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTVYrHYICA

may tanong akong gustong itanong.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgOFIyvzzi

Kung kilala mo pa rin ako...

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQQ2oQvBzU

kung alam mo pa rin kung sino ako...

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxBN6Zzmxf

bakit hindi mo ako pinaniwalaan noon?

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutczP8tVAG

Hindi ko sinabi.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvca8Ccx0P2

Hindi pa.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N4Uzk3PZm

Dahil alam kong kapag tinanong ko iyon-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Axdh2KEE

may mga pintuang mabubuksan na matagal naming isinara.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4xQziDy8g

At hindi ako sigurado kung handa na akong makita kung ano ang nasa likod ng mga iyon.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgdFM86iif

THAT NIGHT

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJqlASqHm

Nakahiga ako sa sofa.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4GwGaO4zn

Tahimik ang kwarto.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7sXrJkFeE

Nakatulog na si Shairah.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgrViMwgoA

Pero ako-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS3rRaU4Qv

gising pa rin.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpEAwlMqi1

Tinitigan ko ang kisame.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwwlDXNYdG

At naalala ko ang isang bagay na sinabi ni Dad kanina.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzrpDW8vN

"He's your brother."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP4jOCF3tA

Napapikit ako.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaIX5yUatM

Then I whispered-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YAMmFgeZw

"No."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEumAO4naE

Mahina.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFPDlUZ9i

Pero puno ng galit.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qOdq9b7wf

"He's not my brother."

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77FzDu4Ifg

At sa unang pagkakataon matapos ang limang taon-

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaQmGskUc

may isa pang tanong na sumagi sa isip ko.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK60nRPJcG3

Kung hindi siya ang kapatid ko...

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtI1irtTIr

bakit parang siya ang dahilan kung bakit nawala ang tunay kong pamilya?

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx7N8F2zlC

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0azuFvLVV
