CHAPTER 20
Borderline.
"What do you think is the motive of the bombing, Sir Ortaniza?"
I keep on looking at the monitor to see if Jessica had said the correct line.
"I can't conclude for now, we're still looking for the possible angle of what happened." Kuya said straightly to the camera.
Tumango naman si Jessica. Seryosong nakatingin si Kuya sa banda namin ni Wei, si Jessica naman ay panay ang tanong. Luckily, Kuya answered it with full determination and he never answered in a full conviction. It's good thing para iwas sa karagdagang issue.
"So, what are your plans for now? The late senator's issue hype the public domain." Si Jessica.
Kuya just laughed, kaya nagkatinginan kami ni Wei.
"We don't have any plans for now. My father's issue, well, it's true. But he's gone, I hope people will understand that my father had paid his life. Anyways, it will hype people because it is their money. The people had the right to know."
It was satisfying that Kuya remained strong despite of having these problems that we're facing now. I thank Wei for always on Kuya's side, and also for me. Niyakap ni Wei si Kuya matapos ang interview.
"So, can we have lunch?" Si Kuya nang umupo sa tabi ni Wei.
It's been weeks since that incident happened. We decided to cremate Mom and Dad's body, and just displayed it in private memorial land. Kuya and I decided to have a 3 day-burial ceremony for Mom and Dad, it's for our security purposes. The more days of burial, the more we're at sake.
Different people coming from. Friends, relatives, family connections and other parties was there. That time was my trembling knees trials.
"Kailan pa ma-approve ang resignation letter mo, Ziya?" Si Kuya.
I drunk my juice.
"Hindi ko pa alam, Kuya. Let's just wait for the approval." matamlay kong sabi. Narinig ko namang bumuntong hininga si Wei,
"Isn't too much, Dell? Can we just let Ziya decide if she's going to resign on her work?" Si Wei.
Kuya decided that I should resign in my work place and apply for the company that Kuya has been working, the Perfume Company. Although hindi namin 'yun kompanya pero may shares naman kami roon. Nanatili si Kuya bilang head sa kompanya, proxy kay Dad.
"No, the more he's expose to public, the more she's in danger, Wei." Kuya explained.
I agree naman kay Kuya. But my other self would always say na sayang ang pagreresign. But I had no choice. Still Kuya's decision is what matter now.
