Napapabuntong-hininga na tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana ng sasakyan habang pinapakinggan ko ang mahabang litanya ng taong kausap ko sa cellphone. If it's other people than the one I'm talking to ay baka kanina ko pa binaba ang tawag. But if I do that with the person on the other line, I'm going to get a whooping, even in my age right now.
"Mom, I'm okay."
"You were attacked and you're forced out of your house because of the situation. You almost got kidnapped too. How can you say that you're okay?"
"Because I'm alive?"
"Belaya."
I tried not to groan when I heard the tone she used. Growing up, I don't think there's ever a time that my mom raised her voice on us. Pero kapag nagsalita siya lahat nakikinig. Tono pa lang ng boses niya natatakot na kami. Kahit ata si Daddy matatakot kapag nagalit si Mommy.
"You should have let your sister handled this," she said.
"I have a lot to be thankful for even with what's happening to me, Mom. Ate Vodka is already handling so much. The organization is still in lockdown and they're all in high alert because of the huge case that they have."
"Hindi maliit na bagay lang ang problema mo."
"I know that, but mom, we both know that I shouldn't be a priority just because I'm family. They're handling a mass murder case. That person is still adding bodies to the pile he already collected. Ate Vie's already exhausting the whole organization and their resources for me to add to that."
The news about the current case of our family business even became relevant enough to other countries that they've been reporting about it for weeks. The United States is even helping in terms of money to help the victims' families because the number of those that have been affected was a lot.
"Ayaw mo lang talaga kasi crush mo ang isa sa magkakapatid na Dawson. Hindi ka na ma-reach."
Boses ni Daddy ang narinig ko na nagsalita. Mukhang naka-loud speaker si Mommy.
"I'm blocking Kuya Ram from my contacts." Siya naman kasi ang pinakamadaldal at sumbungero sa aming magkakapatid. Aside from me of course.
"Si Cross ang nagkuwento sa'min," sabi ni Mommy.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. Partner kami ni Kuya Ram pagdating sa mga kalokohan pero kapag sa sikreto laging si Kuya Cross ang sinasabihan ko. Ate Vie is more of another mother figure to us. Kahit hindi naman ganoon kalaki ang agwat ng edad namin pero dahil parehas na parehas sila ni Mommy ng ugali ay takot din kami sa kaniya.
