"the only thing that can help me - us is for you to get married." aniya.
"What?" napatayo ako sa gulat.
"You're so old English period papa. Noo!" my heart sunk and I'm freaking out.
"Dad you know you can't do that. You can't force us. We are in a new era. we can still have money if we are working for someone" sambat ni kuya.
"Well, I don't want to work FOR someone!" sigaw ni Dad.
"It's your pride Dad" ani kuya.
"If only I have a mom, she will understand me." I burst out to tears at lumabas.
"You're going to meet him in a week" pahabol pa niya.
"You're unbelievable Dad" rinig ko pang sambit ni kuya bago sumunod sakin.
"ASHA! Where are you going?" sagot ni kuya.
"to school obvi and please huwag mo muna akong sundan Nate" nakita ko ang pag-alala sa mukha niya bago ako sumakay sa limousine at inutusan ang driver na pumunta sa Imperial Academy of Mindanao.
'SLAAAAAAAAAAPPPP'
A loud slap sabay nun ay ang pagka-hulog ng glasses niya sa sahig.
"Don't ask me again"
"I'm sorry Asha. I thought its helping kasi" aniya habang hawak ang pisnging sinampal ko. We all had our secrets. No matter how well designed this era or governance is but no such thing as perfect even my face and outfit. There are many secrets here. I have many secrets.
"I thought talking to you would help me but I'm wrong. Goodbye for now Yale." sabay nun ay tumalikod na ako sa kanya. She's our class President and the daughter of our Councilor.
Now I don't have someone to talk to. I'm fucking alone. Loner.
Nate's POV
My home is a total wreck. I can't persuade my dad at di ko pa maka-usap si Asha. Everything is perfect but his pride, his work, his wealth. He's too concern for his own affairs. He forgets us, how we feel. How can he do that to his daughter. Arrange marriage for fuck's sake? Too outdated ang puta.
There's only one things that calms my mind. Basketball.
Nang makarating ako sa academy ay dumiritso na agad ako sa basketball court. I was fucking shooting the balls. I'm out of my mind at sa tuwing ganito ang state ng isip ko mas pumapasok pa ang bola. My mind is full of everything, I am included in the academy's basketball team and we all are the best and I don't want the last time to happen again. IM JUST ON THE FUCKING BENCH. I had to be the best to be included in the first five… my family…this… "SHITT!!!" sigaw ko sabay pagpasok ng bola sa ring.
Kinuha ko ang bola at maya-maya'y may paa na akong nakita wearing the expensive Nike MAG Back To The future 2011 at isa lang ang nag mamay-ari neto. I stood erect at nakita ang emotionless niyang mukha. Aden.

"What? First time mong makita ang ganitong mukha ko?"
He's wearing our uniform. Mag prapractice siguro. "Nah, I saw that face many times Nate" aniya.
Aden is an unreadable person, he's not introvert though but very annoying. His presence irritates me.
"I came here first" aniko.
"But this is not your court Nate."
"Let's play then. Who wins will play in this court solo and the loser will not practice or play here for a week." hamon ko sa kanya.
"Are you really doing this nonesense Nate?" aniya.
"Unless you're a coward" I saw his perfect-thick-brow arched and I suddenly pass the ball to his chest and unfortunately nakuha niya ito.
I ran and started to do my thing. I did my best to block him and it's 50-50, either he shots the ball or I'm successful. Nairita ako kasi I know his good. I'm not a dirty player but since kami lang dalawa I started to play dirty. Siniko ko siya intentionally at nakuha ang bola sabay shoot sa ring. I smirk seeing him arched in pain.
"Should we end this?" aniko but he didn't answer and went to my direction. He manages to get the ball and out of the blue uttered.
"What did I do to you Nate that I deserve this treatment?" he stopped and I took the chance of getting the ball from him and ran. Nakita ko namang humabol siya.
"The fuck Aden, you don't remember?" I said while shooting the ball and yes it shoots.
Nakita kong nag-tataka siya. "You're that fucking naive and ignorant?" kinuha niya ang bola at drinibble papunta sa ring niya.
"I'm being kind to everyone Nate" Kind ang putek?
"Fuck you!" he was about to shoot the ball nang itinulak ko siya ng marahas.
"Coach is about to get me from the bench pero bigla kang dumating. That was my spotlight Aden but you took it. A fucking thief, oportunista. I'm doing all my best but my best is not enough because of you. How I wish you will be gone." I know that this is wrong. Na ibunuhis ko ang galit ko sa kanya because I'm problematic.
Naka-upo parin siya sa sahig while examining my face. "That's not all Nate. You're hiding something."
My anger wears off and I remember again, the everything. The exact reason why I totally hate him. This unexplainable anger surges again. Lumapit ako sa kanya at agad siyang pinag-susuntok sa mukha and he didn't even defend himself.
"I hate you Aden for doing this to me!" napaiyak ako sa galit at nakita ang nagtataka niyang mukha. Saktong may mga players ng dumating at ihiniwalay ako sa kanya.
