CHAPTER FORTY FOUR: COLLABORATION
I can't help but smile every time I read her diary. And by I mean her, I mean Liza Villanueva Diamante.
Her diary is full of crazy yet thrilling stories about her everyday life, not just pero may iba pa.
Usually it's about her childhood, when she used to live for years in that toxic Villanueva family estate.
Sa una, medyo nasasaktan ako... I should've known. Pero Dad never really wanted to tell us everything about her until the right time.
Dad was scared. He didn't know how to tell me and Quinten about our mother, the truth, and everything about the Villanueva family.
He didn't really tell us pero alam na'ming dalawa ni Quinten how much Dad hated Villanuevas.
More like he hated our mother's parents, the former head of the family, and his wife. I couldn't accept it, I was curious before about sa grandparents ko... just everything about my mom's side.
But... I don't have to learn about them anymore, especially kung sila ang naging dahilan nang pagkamatay 'din niya.
Dad told us so many bombshells, but I just remembered one thing... Mom's death.
Dad can never forgive them at all, so when me and Quinten heard about it too... nasaktan kami.
We never expected it, now we understood.
Alam na na'min 'kung bakit 'di napili ni Dad na sabihin sa'min until we are fully ready.
There are still so many things that we don't know about na 'di pa nasasabi ni Dad but we are trying to trust him dahil one day, he will tell us.
He will explain to us everything.
Kaya nga niya binagay sa'min 'tong kopya ng diary ni Mom.
He trusts us too, na-ready ka'ming dalawa sa katotohanan.
I've never been happier...
My eyes widened sa binabasa ko.
Happier? Perhaps because of Dad?
I mean they both loved each other for sure. Dad still loves Mom until to this day.
I mean how can he move on from someone he had lost? Mom is like his biggest 'What If' if she's still alive.
...I can't believe that my second child is a girl, my very first daughter.
Natahimik ako, my breath hitched from the sentence pa lang.
Is she perhaps... writing about me?
Her... very first daughter?
Genevieve, Genevieve Diamante.
Shit. I almost choked and cried sa nabasa ko. It's me! My mom wrote about me!
She even wrote my whole name!
Goddamn, for years!
For years, I was curious about everything about my mother! And this... I just can't handle myself.
I kept reading this and I'm now at the page where she's finally writing about me. Her daughter.
"Ms. Diamante."
Natigil ako sa pagbasa when my assistant called my name at binuksan ang pintuan ng office ko.
I closed the diary and inilagay 'to sa private space ko sa table.
