anyway my brothers and I used to  hang out with some friends every day

we had some friends from school  from our old neighborhood and

well may kaibigan ako noon Jimmy ang pangalan niya

and we were not close friends you know but  we used to hang out we used to go to the  

at hindi kami. malalapit na kaibigan alam mo pero madalas kaming tumatambay pumupunta kami sa

arcade and play a lot we also talked  sitting on the sidewalk of the street

but the problem was that he was a little  weird he had a quick temper he was  

pero ang problema medyo kakaiba siya mabilis ang ugali

sometimes angry and other times he was happy  he bullied many of my partners in the school  

minsan galit. at minsan natutuwa siya marami siyang kapartner sa school nabu-bully niya

dati ay sinusuntok niya sila sa mukha

he had a lot of problems in  the school but also at his home  

marami siyang problema sa school pero pati sa bahay niya

his parents were the boards  and he didn't like it of course  

parents niya ang board at hindi niya gusto. syempre

they used to fight in front of him all the  time it was terrible he had a hard life

lagi silang nag-aaway sa harap niya grabe ang hirap ng buhay niya

you know my parents also got divorced when  I was a child but I didn't behave that way  

alam mo namang naghiwalay din ang mga magulang ko noong bata ako pero hindi ako ganoong inaasal

I suppose children can handle it differently  

I suppose mga bata iba ang kaya ni

Jimmy was so aggressive I don't even  remember how we could be friends back then

Jimmy. agresibo Hindi ko na nga maalala kung paano kami naging magkaibigan noon

well one day we were sitting on the sidewalk in a  street not very far from my home we were talking  

isang araw nakaupo kami sa bangketa sa isang kalye na hindi masyadong kalayuan sa aking bahay nag-uusap kami

about different things such as Sports School  some girls our lives and many other things

tungkol sa iba't ibang bagay tulad ng Sports School ilang mga babae ang aming buhay at marami pang ibang bagay.

he told me that his parents had thought that day  and he was angry because of that he wanted to do  

sinabi niya sa akin na naisip ng mga magulang niya noong araw na iyon at nagalit siya dahil doon ay may gusto siyang gawin

something but he didn't know what exactly I told  him to go to the arcade maybe he could feel better

pero hindi niya alam kung ano ba talaga ang sinabi ko sa kanya na pumunta siya sa arcade baka gumaan ang pakiramdam niya

but he didn't like the idea he  said he was tired of going to the  

pero hindi niya gusto ang idea sabi niya pagod na daw siya sa pagpunta sa

arcade and he wanted to do something  different something more dangerous  

arcade at gusto niyang gumawa ng ibang bagay na mas delikado

well we didn't know what to do  so we started walking around

well hindi namin alam ang gagawin kaya nagsimula na kaming maglakad lakad

we were walking around the  street near my elementary school  

kami sa kalye malapit sa elementary school ko

there weren't many cars passing by  because that street was almost new  

wala masyadong. mga sasakyang dumadaan dahil halos bago lang ang kalyeng iyon ay

only people used to walk over there to go to  their jobs or children going to the school

dumadaan lang ang mga tao doon para pumunta sa kanilang trabaho o kaya naman ay ang mga bata papasok sa paaralan

it was Sunday so that street was empty I  saw a child in the distance he was riding  

ay Linggo kaya walang laman ang kalye na iyon may nakita akong bata sa di kalayuan naka-

his bike and I told Jimmy that I  always wanted to have a bicycle  

bike siya at sinabi ko. Jimmy that I always wanted to have a bike

but sadly my family didn't have enough  money to buy something like that

but sadly my family didn't have enough money to buy something like that

he heard that and told me if you want the bike  when we get that one of course I just laughed I  

narinig niya yun at sinabihan ako kung gusto mo yung bike pag nakuha namin yun syempre natawa lang ako akala ko

thought he was joking we were not going to steal  that bike I have never done something like that

nagbibiro siya. we were not going to steal that bike I have never done something like that

he said that he had done that many times but with  different products he told me that when he went  

he said that he had done that many times but with different products sinabi niya sa akin na kapag nagpunta siya

to the market he used to steal some candy  from a woman who sold those kind of things  

sa palengke ay nagnanakaw siya ng candy sa isang babaeng nagbebenta ng mga iyon. uri ng mga bagay

I kept thinking he was joking

na iniisip ko na nagbibiro siya

but no he wasn't joking he really  wanted to steal that kid's bike  

ngunit hindi siya nagbibiro gusto niya talagang nakawin ang bisikleta ng batang iyon

I still remember his words I'm going to  push the boy so that he falls off the  

naaalala ko pa ang kanyang mga salita na itulak ko ang bata upang mahulog siya sa

bike and you are going to take  the bike with you and run okay

bisikleta at ikaw ay kukuha. the bike with you and run okay

I didn't know what to say I couldn't believe he  was saying that to me so I repeated to myself that  

I didn't know what to say I couldn't believe na sinasabi niya yun sa akin kaya inulit ko sa sarili ko na

he was still joking then he walked over to the  boy and pushed him just as he had said he would

nagbibiro pa siya tapos umakbay siya sa bata at tinulak siya gaya ng ginawa niya. sabi niya gusto niya

the boy started crying so hard and he yelled dad  help we saw a man running to us we hadn't realized  

umiyak ng umiyak yung bata at sumigaw siya dad help may nakita kaming lalaking tumatakbo papunta samin hindi namin namalayan

that that child was playing with his father on  that street so he rushed to help his son obviously

na nakikipaglaro yung bata sa tatay niya sa street na yun kaya sumugod siya para tulungan yung anak niya halatang

we started running away so fast  that we got my home in just seconds  

tumakbo na kami palayo kaya mabilis na nakauwi na kami sa loob lang ng ilang segundo

I was quiet I didn't say anything  then he told me he had to go to his  

natahimik ako hindi ako umimik tapos sinabi niya sa akin na kailangan daw niyang pumunta sa

home because his mother was about  to arrive and she could get angry

bahay niya kasi dadating na ang nanay niya at baka magalit siya

we didn't even talked about  what had happened that afternoon  

hindi man lang kami nag-usap ng kung ano ano. nangyari nang hapong iyon

that night I couldn't sleep well I  was thinking of all those things I  

nang gabing iyon hindi ako makatulog ng maayos naiisip ko ang lahat ng mga bagay na

felt terrible for the kid with his Spike I  didn't know what to do I was very thoughtful

naramdaman kong kakila-kilabot para sa batang kasama ang kanyang Spike Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko masyado akong nag-isip

the next day I woke up and had breakfast  with my brothers and sister after that I  

kinabukasan nagising ako at nag-almusal kasama ang aking magkapatid pagkatapos nun

just watched TV we could do that because we had  finished school I was about to be 16 years old

nanood na lang ako ng tv pwede na namin yun kasi tapos na kami mag 16 years old na ako

I still didn't know what to do  with my life I mean I graduated  

di ko pa alam ang gagawin ko sa buhay ko ibig sabihin naka graduate na ako.

from high school and we didn't have  enough money to pay for the college  

mula high school at wala kaming sapat na pera para pambayad sa kolehiyo

so the only possible thing to do was to  get a job to save some money to study later

kaya ang tanging posibleng gawin ay makakuha ng trabaho para makaipon ng pera para makapag-aral mamaya

so my siblings and I used to  spend the day watching TV together  

kaya maghapon kaming magkapatid sa panonood ng TV

at about four in the afternoon  Jimmy knocked on my door  

sa halos alas kwatro ng hapon kumatok si Jimmy sa pinto ko

he told me he wanted to go to the arcade he was  bored and also really angry at the same time

sinabi niya sa akin na gusto niyang pumunta sa arcade bored siya at galit na galit din at the same time

I could only think about what  had happened the day before  

naiisip ko lang yung nangyari nung isang araw na

I didn't want to go because I no longer  felt comfortable with him so I told him  

ayaw ko kasi. hindi na kumportable sa kanya kaya sinabi ko sa kanya

I had some things to do and that  I couldn't go with him this time

na may mga bagay akong dapat gawin at na hindi ako makakasama sa kanya sa pagkakataong ito ay

he insisted of course he showed me some  money he had like ten dollars and was  

pinilit niya siyempre ipinakita niya sa akin ang ilang pera na mayroon siya tulad ng sampung dolyar at

a lot of money for us back then he said he  would invite me to eat something delicious

maraming pera para sa amin pabalik. tapos yayain daw niya akong kumain ng masarap

so I agreed maybe it was all a mistake and he  did that because he was angry or very stressed  

kaya pumayag ako baka mali lahat at ginawa niya yun kasi galit siya or sobrang stress

of course that could not happen again so I  went to the arcade with him and we had fun

syempre hindi na mauulit yun kaya sumama ako sa kanya sa arcade at masaya kami.

when we left the arcade we went to the same street  we had gone the day before that terrible incident  

nung umalis kami sa arcade pumunta kami sa kalyeng napuntahan namin nung isang araw bago nangyari yung malagim na pangyayaring yun

had happened I felt much better because he was  quiet he didn't say a word he was thinking a lot

mas gumaan pakiramdam ko kasi tahimik siya hindi siya umiimik marami siyang iniisip

then another boy approached us Jimmy greeted  him and introduced him to me he was one of  

tapos may lumapit sa amin na isang lalaki binati siya ni Jimmy. at pinakilala siya sa akin isa siya sa

his friends he told me he sat down and they were  quiet I only asked are we waiting for anybody here

mga kaibigan niya sabi niya sa akin umupo siya at natahimik sila tanong ko lang may hinihintay ba kami dito

he didn't say anything I was worried I didn't  know what was happening I felt confused  

wala siyang sinabi nag-aalala ako hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyayari nakaramdam ako ng pagkalito.

then Jimmy's friend stood up and stopped a taxi I  didn't know we were going to another place I said

tapos tumayo yung kaibigan ni Jimmy at huminto ng taxi hindi ko alam na pupunta kami sa ibang lugar sabi ko

and then he told me he's going to stop that car  I'm going to hit the driver and get him off his  

tapos sinabi niya sakin na ihihinto niya yung kotse na yun sasampalin ko yung driver at ibaba ko siya sa

car so you can get in the car to drive it then  we leave I was shocked I didn't know what to say

kotse niya para pwede ka. sumakay ka na sa kotse para magdrive tapos umalis na kami nabigla ako hindi ko alam ang sasabihin

it was not a joke they were doing it right in  front of my eyes froze I couldn't do anything  

hindi biro ang ginagawa nila sa harap ng mga mata ko natigilan ako wala akong magawa

it all happened in just seconds that boy stopped  the taxi Jimmy want to hit the driver and now I  

sa mga segundo lang nangyari yun. pinahinto ni boy ang taxi gusto ni Jimmy na suntukin ang driver at ngayon ako

I only was there standing looking at them  doing nothing so we never stole that car  

nandoon lang ako nakatayo nakatingin sa kanila na walang ginagawa kaya hindi na namin ninakaw ang sasakyan na iyon

the taxi left and Jimmy was really angry he  told me I was a chicken and many other things  

umalis ang taxi at nagalit talaga si Jimmy sinabi niya sa akin na manok ako at marami pang ibang

I didn't answer I just kept quiet I arrived home  and went to my bedroom I didn't say any word I had  

ginawa ko. 'di sumagot Tahimik lang ako nakarating ako sa bahay at pumunta sa kwarto ko hindi na ako nag salita nagsimula na akong

started working since I was a child and I had some  money saved I had like 50 dollars so the next day
