Chapter 39

I gritted my teeth as tears clouded my eyes. Ikinuyom ko ang aking kamao at mabilis na lumapit sa aking ina. Agad kong sinalo ang pag-akmang sabunot at suntok nila kay Mama. I pushed them really hard as they stumbled back with wide eyes and mouth. Dulce was aggressive than her mother.

Malamig ko silang tinitigan lahat habang nakadipa ang aking kamay handang poprotekta sa aking pamilya lalong-lalo na kay Mama na nasa sahig pa rin at mukhang gulat na gulat sa ginawa sa kanya.

“One more step near my family and I won't hesitate to kill all of you!” mapanganib kong sigaw sa kanila. My blood is boiling and all I can see right now was red just like how they hurt my Mom's face.

Natigil ang lahat at napansin ko pa ang paglapit nina Almer sa amin na may pag-aalala. I then saw in my peripheral vision how my aunt helped her sister to stand up.

I couldn't understand either why was the police being a coward in moment like this? Are they afraid of these powerful and pathetic families? Damn..

There are six elite women on my front. I saw the wife and children of Heldon Montevalle. Ang ilang kamag-anak ng mga akusado ay nasa gilid nila at handa ring aatake alinsunod sa mas mataas sa kanila.

“Chian, anak…” mahinang bulong ni Mama at ramdam ko ang paghawak niya sa aking nakakuyom na kanang kamao sa gilid. “Do.. don't do this anak. Let's go home, please,” sa nagmamakaawang boses.

Unti-unting kumalma ang aking galit ngunit hindi ko maatim na uuwi na lang kami kahit na sinaktan siya ng mga ito. Yes we are all professionals here, I know their reputations but when it comes to family. The status, power and profession were forgotten.

“Yo..you again?!” hiyaw ni Dulce at nakita ko ang pagtulo ng butil ng kanyang luha pero agad niya itong pinalis at humalakhak pa siya. 

She looked badly hurt for his father's damnation. Gaano man kasama ang kanyang ama, hindi ko pa rin siya masisisi dahil ama niya pa rin ito.

Habang tinitingnan ko sila ngayon makikita ko ang lubhang pagguho ng kanilang mundo sa sinapit ng kanilang pamilya. They looked tough outside but deep inside they were affected real bad.

“Do you think you'll be all happy now as a complete family cos’ you get the goddamn justice?! Ha! Walang kwenta! My dad's a good man and..” Dulce blinked her tears away. Puno ng sakit ang kanyang boses. “I always believed that he couldn't do that thing! Your flirt mother manipulate everything! From the very start of the story, don't you know that your Mom intended to ruin all those guys friendship? She was a schemer! A golddigger! A pig–”

Hindi niya natapos ang kanyang akmang sasabihin nang lumipad na ang aking kamao sa kanyang pisngi at ilong. Muntik na siyang matumba sa lakas na pinakawalan kung hindi lang siya hinawakan ng kambal ni Hielder. Namutla siya sa gulat at mukhang di niya ito inexpect. She grimaced in pain afterwards when she realized her nose was bleeding amply.

“That was for hurting my mother. You should remember that I am not that soft like her,” pakli ko at tinaasan siya ng kilay na mukhang aalma pa ito at aabante sa akin. Ngunit napatigil ito nang hinawakan ni Blaine Montevalle ang kanyang braso.

“How dare you to do that to her?” she asked in a tender voice. Na hindi mo lubos maisip na galit ba o hindi. “You just ruined our family's name and now you have the audacity to punch her? I thought you have the class as what you've told me but now you proved me wrong. Wala ka rin palang hiya tulad ng nanay mo,” malamig na wika nito at binalingan pa si Mama sa aking gilid na nakatungo na.

F*ck she's too much!

“Oh? Why are you glaring at me? You wanted to punch a Montevalle? Go on. Try me,” she said and stepped towards me with lethal and mocking voice.
