Chapter 4: Unexpected

Fred's POV

"Saan kayo nanggaling?!"
Galit na sabi ni daddy nung umuwi kami

"Hon, Fred, sorry, pinilit ako ni daddy eh"
Kuya Kiko said

"What on earth are you thinking?! Paano kung ginalaw kayo ng Arthur na yun??"

Grabe. Ibang klase yung galit ni daddy.

"Dad...we just want answers"
I simply stated.

"Don't you ever go to them again! Kung ayaw na ng mommy niyo na umuwi, hayaan na natin siya!"

"Daddy that's unfair.
She should've at least explained"
I reasoned out.

"Or baka alam naman talaga ni dad ang reason at ayaw niya lang sabihin sa atin Fred." Pabuntong hininga na sabi ni ate.

"Shut up Faye! Don't you even go there!"

"Wait what is going on here?! Ate? Ano na naman yan?!" I exasperatedly said.

Hindi ko na talaga maintindihan ang mga nangyayari. But most of the time, ate Faye's gut insticts are right.

"You ask dad, Fredrick. I'm tired."
She sarcastically said

"Wag niyo naman ako pahirapan! Pumunta nga ako dito diba para ma klaro ang lahat? Para maka hanap ng sagot. Why would dad hide something frome me ate, and what would that be?"

"Fredrick, stop." sabi ni dad

"To maybe cover up for mom. Para hindi na masama tingin natin sa kanya. Well hindi naman nangyari yun. Dahil masama na talaga tingin natin sa kanya. At para...
hindi siya makulong? Right dad?"

"On what purpose?!"
Galit kong tanong kay ate

"Faye I said stop!"
sigaw ni dad

"I think Fritz should not hear this"

Si Fritz naman iyak lang ng iyak.
Kawawa naman yung bunso namin. What a pity he experienced this at such a young age.

"Fritz, just go to your room muna please?" Sinunod niya naman ako kahit na sobrang naguguluhan na rin ito

Hindi ko ata kaya to.
So all the while alam ni dad?!
At tinanggap niya na lang yun?!

"Now Fritz is gone ate, come on and tell me. Now"

"Ano dad ako na magsasabi kay Fred?"
Panuksong sabi ni ate

Dad suddenly broke down in tears.
My phone beeped at umakyat na si ate Faye habang iniiling ang ulo niya. She could not take dad's drama. She had enough also. I have seen her hate mom for the first time. And ibang klaseng gigil pa.

Ate Faye sent me a message that made me tremble.

"What the hell??! Totoo to dad?!"
