Masked Affliction Chapter 1: Card
Inayos ko ang tassel earrings sa tenga ko. I put on the last thing I haven't applied yet to put color on my pale face. Ang may kaputlaan kong labi ay nabigyan kahit papaano ng kulay pagkatapos kong lagyan ng pulang lipstick ang labi. I sprayed ounce of perfume on my neck, collar bone, wrist and at the back of my ears. Vanilla scent played inside the four-cornered room as I swayed gracefully in front of the mirror. Huling pasada, nang makuntento sa itsura ay lumabas ako ng kuwarto. Ngayon magaganap ang pinakahihintay kong grant art exhibit. This was so special for me because this was a special event only for myself after all the hardworks and efforts I'd spent to prepare. Matagal ko nang pinangarap mangyari ang lahat ng ito, ngayon ay narito na. Abala nang makarating sa venue ang mga tauhan. My assistant was instructing huge and tall guys where to put my art canvas. Lahat ay maingat na maingat sa ginagawa, natatakot na makasira ng mga ipininta ko. They were all sealed in a fragile fra
Masked Affliction Chapter 2: Moonlight
Usok ang una kong namataan pagkamulat ng dalawang mga mata. I coughed painfully when I smelled the toxic smoke from an engine. I felt a hot sticky fluid rolled down my cheeks and some coated a part of my forehead. Sumasakit ang katawan ko at tanging daing lamang ang naririnig sa sarili habang sinusubukang gumapang papalabas ng isang nakataob na sasakyan. "May bata sa ilalim!" Naghiyawan ang mga natatarantang mga tao na pumapalibot sa sasakyan. My head went dizzy and everyone around me seemed to be fading away. I only heard the faint sound of an ambulance and the sound of the panicking people before I felt a huge hand encircling my small fragile frame.Iyon ang paulit-ulit na tumatakbo sa aking isipan kahit pa noong inilagay na ako sa bahay ampuna
Masked Affliction Chapter 3: Eyes
I took scholarship examination in Chua High School and Colleges that summer. I spent the Summer earning money by selling halo-halo to our place. Wala pa kasi ang result ng kinuha kong exam at lalabas pa sa katapusan ng May. If I may not be able to pass it, then I will just continue studying in my former school. Kapag nakapasa naman ay magkakaroon ako ng formal enrollment. I wanted so much to be in that school so I studied hard the day before the scholarship examination. Naghanap ako ng mga coverage na madalas ilabas nila sa examination. Kadalasan doon ay mga lesson na na-take na namin sa mga naunang year. May mga bago ring lesson at kumuha na lang ako ng mga PDF files and google drive para mapag-aralan.
Masked Affliction Chapter 4: Scars
The whole week of class was just all about the rules and the school. Second day, we had the usual routine where the teacher introduces themselves and we had to do the same thing.May subjects na rin na kaklase ko si Athelia at sa kasamaang palad, marami ring subjects na kaklase ko iyong si Ford. There were even subjects that Ena and his were in the same class! The horrified look on Ena's face were remnants in my mind. Si Athelia naman nang malaman iyon ay halos isumpa na ang buong angkan namin dahil hindi namin siya naging kaklase roon.During Friday, we only had one subject. It was PE day for the whole 9am up to 12pm. May kaunting break time naman daw gaya ng in-orient sa amin ng teacher namin pero thirty minutes lang, saktong pang-recess. Since we only have our first week then, it only happened to had orientation about the subjec

We had our club hopping for two days where we had to choose which club we'll be in. Dalawa ang pipiliin namin, ang isa ay para sa academic club at ang isa ay para sa creative club.Few had to choose for the creative side, nahihirapan pa dahil wala namang skills sa area na iyon at more on academics lang. Athletes need not to worry about choosing because they were already in sports club so as the journalists who were in actibo writing.I planned on joining the arts club where my potential lies.Nagsusulat pa man lang ako ng pangalan ay excited na ako. We were making line outside the art room before the old club member decided to let us in.Naroroon ang teacher na major in arts and d
Masked Affliction Chapter 6: Language
We already started formal classes during the next weeks. Ordinary schedule na rin dahil tapos na ang clubbings. Tuwing Friday naman naipapasok namin ang schedule namin para sa club dahil morning-afternoon schedule naman ang ganap. The students with morning schedule will attend the club during afternoon until 3pm and those who are in afternoon schedule will start 9am until 11am because their PE classes will start on 12am. Tinapik-tapik ko ang hawak na ballpen sa mesa nang magsalitang muli ang teacher namin. Nagtaas siya ng kamay na para bang nag-eencourage ng students para sumagot sa magiging tanong niya. The chalk was dusting her fingers as she held it tightly in between her thumb and index finger. "How do you think technology can affect your active lifestyle?" Iginala niya ang paningin. Nagsiyukuan ang iba kong mga kaklase para magpatuloy pa rin sa pagsusulat. Or maybe to avoid being called to answer. Sumandal lamang ako sa upuan dahil naghihintay lang ng maidadagdag sa notebook
Masked Affliction Chapter 7: Cousin
Nanatili siya sa pag-upo sa itaas ng desk ko at binabalanse lamang ang sarili ng mga paa. Nakatukod ang mga iyon nang mariin sa inuupuan ko. Pakiramdam ko ay kapag tatayo ako, magiging dahilan iyon upang bumagsak siya sa gumagalaw na desk. The thought that Ford can make that desk go wobble, girls were seemingly like that towards him too. Sakali mang tatayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo at mawalan ng balanse ang kaniyang pag-upo, babagsak talaga siya. Parang buong-buo pa ang tiwala niyang hindi ko siya hahayaang mahulog mula roon dahil nakatodo ang bigat niya sa pag-upo.Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. He's demanding me to get on our discussion for our reporting. Tinaasan ko rin siya ng kilay, I see to it that mine was higher. Ipinagkrus ko ang braso, hindi na naisip magpatalo sa pagiging arogante niya. Itinaas ko pa ang isang paa at ipinatong sa binti niya. He was not even su
Masked Affliction Chapter 8: Little
I was invited over a dinner with Ford's family but I refused to. Bukod sa nakakahiya ay gusto ko ng umuwi para may kasama si Nanay sa bahay. They're probably still in the karinderya serving our customers or probably keeping the tables clean there. Marahil kapag tapos na sila ngayon ay naghihintay na si Nanay sa akin doon at baka hindi pa kumakain. Matigas pa naman ang ulo no'n."Pasensiya na po. Mauuna na po akong umuwi. Baka naghihintay na po si Nanay." I politely declined.Tumango sa akin si Mr. Chua at nakangiti, nagiging kurbadong buwan ang mata nito. His Father reminds me of Ford since he's a great resemblance of his Father. "Ford, ihatid mo pauwi sa kanila." "Hindi na po." Umiling ako at nahihiyang ngumiti sa kaniyang ina. Her mother smiled at me then eyes were directed to Ford. Parang may ipinapaabot ito sa
