The Rise Of The Ugly Luna
Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.“IYAN NA naman iyong nerd.”
“Akala mo naman kung sinong maganda, makalandi, wagas.”
“Naiirita ako sa mga nerd na babae.”
Hay naku, nakakarindi na. It’s been what? Three? Six? I can barely remember when I started hearing those shits from those people describing themselves. Well, except that they don’t look like nerds, but worse.
Tawa much ako sa mga babae na kung makapanglait ng iba, parang wala silang salamin sa bahay.
Haist, na-stress na naman ang bangs ko sa mga ito! Walang ibang ginawa kundi mag-almusal ng panlalait, daig pa mga chismosa sa kanto.
“Ashene Lei Castro!”
Oh great! Just great!
Guess it’s time for me to run from this babae na super kulit!
“Hoy, baklita! Huwag mo ako takbuhan. May atraso ka sa akin. Bumalik ka dito.”
In your dreams!
“Kakalbuhin talaga kita kapag naabutan kita, makita mo!”
That’s my enemy. Oh, scratch that!
She’s the worst girl ever, the enemy of all. Boses pa lang, nakakarindi na. Ewan ko ba kung bakit best friend turing niya sa akin eh palagi ko ngang nilalayuan at inaaway.
Dahil na rin sa nalaman niya ang reason kung bakit ganito ako. Kaya iyon, feeling niya best friend ko na siya eh hindi naman sinasadya na malaman niya ang lahat. Hindi ko iyon in-open sa kanya. Sadyang pakialamera lang talaga siya!
Flashback.
Narito kami ngayon sa gym ng school namin. Walang tao dahil last period na sa hapon na ito.
At ako na isang honor student, first time nag-cut sa klase para makausap ang lalaking ito.
“Look, I am so sorry. Lalaki lang ako, mahina sa tukso-“
“Shut the fuvk up, jerk! Pwede ko rin naman sabihin iyan eh. Pwede ko rin gawin ang mga ginawa mo. Pero pinili kong hindi gawin kasi alam ko na may lalaking naghihintay sa pag-uwi ko. Lalaki na akala ko, ako lang ang tinitingnan, na ako lang ang mahal. Pero puta lang!”
Marahas kong tinulak-tulak siya. Hinuli niya ang mga kamay ko at mahigpit iyon na hinawakan. Halata na sa mukha niya na galit na siya sa ginagawa ko. Well, wala siyang karapatan na magalit! Ako itong niloko niya. Ako itong ginago niya!
Hinahayaan ko siya sa mga gusto niyang gawin dahil puno ang tiwala ko, pero-
“Anong pinagkaiba natin, ha? Pakisabi nga. Lalaki ka, babae ako. Ang pinagkaiba lang natin, gender, wala na. So paki-explain nga. Hindi ko ma-gets iyong reason mo. Na lalaki ka at mahina sa tukso? Ang sabihin mo, gago ka. Wala iyan sa pagiging lalaki mo. Gago ka lang talaga kaya mahina ka sa tukso!”
“Let me explain, babe. Puro ka dada. Papagsalitain mo rin ako at nang malinawan ka.”
Binawi ko na ang mga kamay ko na agad niya namang binitawan. Namumula na ang wrist ko. Masusuntok ko siya, kaunti na lang!
