The Life Contract (Tagalog)

Nanginig ang tuhod ko habang papalapit ako sa gilid ng bangin. Maging ang paghinga ay tila nagiging mahirap na para sa akin. Everything is suffocating, and it feels like it was a crime to do it. With each step I took closer to the end, my hands shivered in fear.My mind went blank, and my tears blurred my vision. I look down at the rocky end of the cliff as my heart hammers inside my chest and reality sinks in. I swallowed hard as my gaze settled to the dark sea. The dead end.If my head slammed into those huge sharp rocks, would it be really painful? Waves of laughter filled my mind because of that thought. Why was I behaving so foolishly? You're fucked up, Reign. The cold wind of night puffs against my skin. Hanggang dito ka na lang ba, Reign? I know you're more than this."Come on! Are we going to stage any more dramatic scenes here? I can't wait any longer! Jump off the cliff, or I'll shoot your head! You choose!" An irritating voice screamed in frustration. She's impatiently wait

Tulala lamang ako buong klase, mabuti na lang at nagawa ko nang maayos ang report ko at na i-report ko ito ng naaayon din sa gusto ko.Katelyn tried to approach me, but I tried my best to ignore her as usual. Matapos ang klase ay mas pinili kong paunahin lahat bago ako lumabas. I put my hood on as I put my books and other things inside my bag pack.Pagkalabas ay hinayaan kong maging mabagal ang paglakad ko at tumawid sa kabilang way, hanggang sa makarating ako sa kabilang building. Sa ibang department ito, hindi ko rin kasi gustong dumaan sa kasunod na department.Ayoko pa ulit siyang makita. I am trying my best to avoid that man."Oh girls, you don't know how hard I've tried to seduce him! He's so hard to get, argh!""You know him and what kind of man he is, ewan ko naman ba kasi sa 'yo kung bakit baliw na baliw ka sa lalaking 'yon, he's scary! Para siyang pinaglihi sa yelo at sama ng loob.""Err! Isn't that the exciting part, huh?! Everyone is scared of him while I am always trying

Kinabukasan ay gumanda na rin ang panahon, may klase na rin kaya nagmadali na akong nagasikaso, dadaan pa kasi ako ng cafe para magbukas at tulad ng dati ay ang inaasahan kong staff muna ang mamamahala noon habang wala ako. Hindi pwedeng si Katelyn dahil pareho kaming may pasok, sa tuwing walang pasok ko lamang siya pamamahalain doon at kapag wala rin ako at may inaasikaso.She cooked breakfast for me and for her. Mabilis akong kumain at nagmadali na rin umalis. As for now, she's earning my trust.Hinahayaan ko siya na maiwan sa bahay, alam ko namang mapagkakatiwalaan ko siya, but even lambs have teeth, hindi pa rin ako nakakasiguro sa kaniya.Pagkabukas ko sa cafe ay dumating na rin ang binilinan ko kaya agad na rin akong pumasok. Malapit na rin mag-start ang first-class ko ng dumating ako kaya nagmadali akong naglakad sa hallway.Pagpasok ko ay naroroon na ang instructor namin.Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin at dere-deretso nang naupo sa upuan ko, pagtingin ko ay naroroon na rin si

"What was I told you Reign?""A-Auntie, s-sorry p-po." My hands are shaking, I am afraid that she might do something again."You stubborn, useless child of my husband! Anong magagawa ng sorry mo?! Huh?! I said, don't leave this room unless I told you! Ang tanga tanga mo talaga?! Ngayon? Paano mo maibabalik ang mga client ko ha?! Malas ka talagang bata ka! malas!" She started hurting me using her bare hands, agad siyang kumuha ng sinturon at pinaghahampas ako no'n.I curled my toes as I endure the pain while my hands are covering my face, protecting it from every strike she made, I let myself cried out loud and my step sister just stand there looking at me, laughing. Its her fault."Auntie, t-tama n-na p-po..""Anong tama na? Tangina kang bata ka! Hinahayaan na nga kita rito kahit wala na ang mga magulang mo peperwisyuhin mo pa ako! Come here!"She started dragging me. I felt a scorching pain in my body. I'm tired and hopeless. My body is aching, tired, and weak. I can take another blo

It's Saturday.Tanghali na akong nagising, marahil ay dahil sa nangyari sa akin kagabi, naligo lang ako at nagbihis saka nagpasya nang bumaba. Naabutan ko si Katelyn sa salas at seryosong nanunuod ng tv.Napalingon naman siya sa Akin nang tuluyan na akong nakababa."Morning, Reign.""What are you watching? You look so serious.""May panibago na naman kasing biktima, natagpuan malapit sa bar, and from the information I got about your step sis, she's her best friend."Napangisi ako sa nalaman. Mukhang malapit sa kaniya ang kamalasan ngayon. Inuubos ang mga natitirang kakampi niya."Katulad ng mga naunang biktima ang nakuhang mga sugat niya.""I don't know if I want to thank the one behind her death or not," I shrug as I said that and made my way to the kitchen, agad naman siyang sumunod sa akin at ipinaghain ako ng almusal."May idea ka ba kung sinong gumagawa nito?" I was about to speak ng may maalala akong isang tao.Why the heck am I thinking of him?Ano bang nangyari sa isang 'yun at
