II: A Silent Voice

When the sun was already out, I was fully awake but honestly? I didn't sleep at all. I mean, how could I possibly blink an eye after seeing those? I never imagined that Dad himself would collect something like that. But I shouldn't be surprised anymore, why? It's because I haven't forgotten the gun that he pointed on Eros before.

I wonder, bakit kaya siya may ganon? Para saan? And about his other business, ano'ng ginagawa niya doon?? Is he doing something illegal? Or what? Is he a member of a Mafia Group? Or their leader, perhaps??

Hindi ko rin masabi at wala akong ideya dahil matagal akong nawala sa mansyon, wala akong maisip kung ano'ng ginagawa nila noong mga panahon na wala ako dito. Well, not that I care about what they were doing. Ang dami kong tanong sa isipan ko na hindi ko alam kung paano ko mabibigyan ng kasagutan.

Wala rin naman atang ideya ang mga kapatid ko ang tungkol dito dahil ayaw rin nilang pumapasok sa loob ng study room ni Dad lalo na kapag hindi naman sila binigyan ng permission na pumasok sa loob 'non and even if they can get inside? I don't think that they have the guts to search the whole room itself to find something suspicious or something that isn't normal.

Kahit hindi maayos ang pag-trato sa kanilang dalawa ay hindi pa rin nawawala ang pag-galang nila kay Dad. What they are doing is making me wonder, I mean? I can do it but they can't? It's just me who can go against Dad without feeling hesitant.

Ate Chelsea and Ate Valerie doesn't really go against his wishes.

Kung ano ang sinabi ni Dad sa kanila, iyon din ang susundin at gagawin nila kaya nga bumalik din sila dito sa mansyon. Ate Chelsea and Kuya Danielle are living in this mansion along with us from now on, same goes for Ate Val and her new husband.

I have no idea kung ano'ng naiisip ni Dad, I mean? May mga sariling pamilya na ang mga kapatid ko. Ang weird naman kung hanggang ngayon ay kino-control niya pa rin ang pamamaraan ng pamumuhay nila, hindi niya ba alam na hindi na mga bata sina Ate Chelsea at Ate Valerie? As far as I know, Ate Chelsea is already pregnant with her first child.

On the other hand, hindi ko alam kung kailan balak mag-karoon ng anak ni Ate Valerie. Palagi rin kaseng abala ang bago niyang asawa dahil nag-papatakbo ito ng malaking kumpanya sa bansang Switzerland, a week ago ko lang nalaman na matagal na rin pala siyang hiwalay sa una niyang asawa.

To be honest, I wasn't actually surprised when I found out that she and that cheater were already separated too. I was feeling over the moon when I heard that news from Ate Val herself but I couldn't ask her about the other details because I was busy.

Ang mahalaga ay hiwalay na silang dalawa sa mga una nilang asawa na wala namang kwenta, hindi na nga mga gwapo tapos manloloko pa!! Like seriously?! They're cheating on my Sisters?!! How fucking dare they!!?

Well, ayoko nang magalit sa kanila. They're not worth it.

Ngayon, kasalukuyan na akong kumakain ng agahan. Tapos na akong mag-ayos ng sarili ko, maaga akong kumilos ngayon dahil hindi nga ako natulog. Buong mag-damag lang akong gising, I even managed to finished a Korean drama series. Kasama kong Kumain si Ate Chelsea habang si Ate Valerie naman ay tuloy pa rin hanggang ngayon.
