My Runaway

          Every child had the moment of being rebellious. A moment when he seek for an attention. A time when he wanted to spread his own wings even though it was not that strong to face the bludgeoning of life.

          It was two years ago when I runaway from our home. I was rebellious that time. I thought that they did not love me that much. I went to Manila and stayed for a year. I lived with my cousin who owned a salon. But in that time, she had to go to Taiwan to work as a caregiver. She also sent me to school in PUP Sta. Mesa. I was left with her husband and their three kids. He was really good at the beginning. I helped him managing the salon. Whenever he was out for unwinding, I took care of the kids and the family business. We had a very good relationship. He was like an older brother to me. But out of the blue, I had discovered his secret. I could not believe it. I was shocked at the same time infuriated. I wanted to confront him and choked him to death. He was fooling my cousin. He was playing with fire.

          It was already late in the evening when I was about to sleep. I went to the comfort room because of the call of the nature. I walked along the hallway and passed by in his room. I momentarily stopped because I heard something behind his door. I just could not describe the sound. I listened closely. Oh my GOD! Someone was moaning inside his room. I peeked in the hole of the wall. That hole was made because of the old structure of the house. I saw him and with the help of the streetlights, I had a clear vision what was happening inside. I could what I was seeing. I never thought that things would be like that. I saw him in his nakedness and was passionately having sex with someone. My heart was beating faster. I was trembling with fear. I turned my gaze to his lover but she was not a lad or even a gay. He was a guy. They were kissing so hard. I could no longer to witness what happened. I kicked the wall and ran to my room.
