Kicking Paddle

Sa Pilipinas, hirap at tiyaga ang susi sa pag-angat, lalo na para sa mga hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Si Tresandrus Villafahr o kilala sa pangalang Tres, isang binatang may matayog na pangarap para sa pamilya— ay napilitang tumigil sa pag-aaral upang suportahan ang kapatid at alagaan ang maysakit nilang ina. Bilang breadwinner ng pamilya, pinasok ni Tres ang trabahong labag sa kanyang paniniwala at prinsipyo—ang pagiging male prostitute. Nilunok niya ang kanyang hiya at dignidad, isinakripisyo ang kanyang sarili para sa kinabukasan ng pamilya. Sa madilim na mundong kaniyang ginagalawan, isang gabi, pinasok ni Tres ang madaliang trabaho para kumita ng mas malaking halaga na makakapagligtas sa Nanay niya—ang maging isa sa bidding item. Sa gitna ng tila mga hayok na mayayamang kalalakihan, isang naiibang babae ang nagtaas ng bid paddle at binili siya sa halagang hindi kayang pantayan ng sinumang naroon sa kaniyang harapan. Ang gabing iyon ay nagbukas ng isang bagong kabanata sa buhay ni Tres. Sino ang babaeng ito at ano ang dala niyang pagbabago? Magkakaroon kaya si Tres ng lakas upang baguhin ang kanyang kapalaran, o mananatili siyang alipin ng mga makapangyarihan? Magkakaroon kaya sila ng pangalawang pagkakataon, o ito’y panandalian lamang?

On the day of Lucas' engagement, he managed to get a few lackeys to keep me occupied, and by the time I stepped out the police station, done with questioning, it was already dark outside. Arriving home, I stood there on the doorstep and eavesdropped on Lucas and his friends talking about me. "I was afraid she'd cause trouble, so I got her to spend the whole day at the police station. I made sure that everything would be set in stone by the time she got out." Shaking my head with a bitter laugh, I blocked all of Lucas' contacts and went overseas without any hesitation. That night, Lucas lost all his composure, kicking over a table and smashing a bottle of liquor, sending glass shards flying all over the floor. "She's just throwing a tantrum because she's jealous… She'll come back once she gets over it…" What he didn't realize, then, was that this wasn't just a fit of anger or a petty tantrum. This time, I truly didn't want him anymore.

She must be hiding because she doesn't want to save you. I'll find her, even if I have to scour the world!" None of them care about me. They have no idea that I died on the night they kicked me out of the house. When they tossed me out, my head bumped into a stone hidden beneath the snow. The snow was particularly heavy that night. It kept falling and falling. Later, when they finally start looking for me, they find my frozen body underneath the thick snow.

In my previous life, my sister thought that since my husband and I had high-paying jobs, she could swap her son with my child without anyone noticing. But twenty-five years later, the tables turned. My son had grown into a street thug, while her son—raised under my care—rose smoothly through life. Young as he was, he had already become a CEO. He was dutiful, bought me a villa, and even sent me traveling around the world. My sister barged into his company, waving a DNA test report, kicking up a scene, only to be thrown out by security. "Mr. Kieran said that even if you are his biological mother, you never gave him a single day of care," they told her. "So he refuses to acknowledge you." Breaking down completely, she drove her car into me and ended my life. When I opened my eyes again, we had returned to the very day she switched our babies. This time, my sister clutched her own child tightly, a wild, triumphant grin on her face. "From now on, you can be the mother of a street thug," she sneered. "The villa and all those riches—they're mine!"
