"Dad please no... Dad please" pagmamakaawa ko habang kinakaladkad niya ko palabas ng bahay na kinalakihan ko. 

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo para gawin to kay Alice? Kung babastusin mo lang siya, mas mabuti pang lumayas ka na sa pamamahay ko!" sigaw ng ama ko habang nakayakap sa kanya yung kabit niya. 

Her mistress looked at me with an evil grin on her face. 

"This isn't your house! This is Mom's! At wala siyang karapatan para ipatapon at sunugin ang mga gamit ni Mommy!" sigaw ko.

"At talagang sumasagot ka pa ha! Bastos kang bata ka!"

My Dad came to me. He gripped on my hair and pulled me towards the gate. 

"Wala ka talagang modong bata ka! Patay na ang nanay mo kaya akin na ang pamamahay na to at gagawin ko kung anong gusto kong gawin dito! Naiintindihan mo?!" 

He pushed me outside and I stumbled on the road not minding the neighbors who are whispering and looking at me as if I commited a henious crime.

"Lumayas ka na at wag na wag ka nang babalik sa pamamahay na to!" 

He was about to shut the gate by I stopped him. I hugged his arm but he pushed me hard again. Kahit nakakahiya, kahit nakakababa ng dignidad, lumuhod ako sa harapan ng ama ko at sa harapan ng maraming tao para mag makaawa. Magmakaawa na pabalikin niya ako sa loob ng bahay dahil wala na kong ibang mapupuntahan at hindi ko alam kung paano ko bubuhayin ang sarili ko sa mura kong edad. 

"Please Dad I beg you. Don't do this to me... please" I cried, hard, hoping he will have mercy on me but I was wrong. 

He just looked at me with a disgust on his face and turn his back on me. Tinalikuran niya ko at pinagsaraduhan. 

I clenched my jaw and balled my fist while looking at our house. The house that supposed to be mine. The house that my mom built for me. Yung bahay na minsang naging masaya na ngayon ay binaboy na nang sarili kong ama. That's why I promise myself that I will never be coming back to this house as long as he lives.
