Explanation
Nang pumasok naako sa pinto ay nakita ko si Dad na komportabling naka-upo sa upuan “sit down” ani niya at tinuro ang bakanting upuan sa harapan niya pero tinignan ko lang iyon at hindi umupo.
“I am here to give you a chance to explain, not to have a long conversation with you, I am no longer a fool to believe your lies” I told him
“this is a long explanation, if you don't want to get tired of standing there, you can sit down” ani niya pero hindi parin ako umupo, tumahimik siya at tinignan ako “... It's seems like you're not a baby anymore, huh? Nag dadalaga kana anak ko, sana hindi nalang kita ipinadpad dito para hindi kana mag bago, nag bago ka eh”
“Dad, kasalanan mo yun, it's your fault why I did this, because you lied to me” diin kong sabi, I don’t know why he lied to me, he didn't have to lie if he knew I would get angry at that “... Nangako tayo diba? You said ‘Promise’ before right? alam nyo ba yung promise? Pag sinabi mong promise, panindigan mo, hindi yun...” naputol ang sasabihin ko dahil kailangan ko nang ilabas ang luha ko “... Hindi yung mag sisinungaling ka, Dad ano bang nangyayari? I'm already confused about these things, I told you before na ngayong wala na si Mommy, we need to learn not to lie to each other, tas ngayon bininta mo na ako? Ganun ba yun?”
“look, I'm not selling you, you're not the reason for that conversation” ani ni Dad
Galit ko siyang tinignan “So... If hindi ako yung dahilan ng pag uusap na yun, baliwala lang pala ako? Hindi mo ako naisip?” I asked him weakly, because I felt like he was just neglecting me
Umiling siya “No, that's why I took you to Caleb so you're safe, I put your situation first, because I can't live if I lose you too” diin nitong sabi “... Yara, i need you to be safe, kaya hinayaan kitang mamuhay dito”
“and why?” kagaad kong tanong sa kanya “... Bakit ko kailangan maging ligtas? Answer me”
“I need you to be safe because I have to do this so I can get revenge on those people who killed your mom, kailangan ko ring maging katulad nila para magkaroon ako ng kapangyarihan” bigla akong natigil sa sinabi niya, hindi ko akalaing gagawin niya din yung trabahong yun, I stepped back to get away from him
“no, no, no, you are thinking wrong, baby hindi ako masamang tao, okay?” he said and slowly approached me
“Dad, hindi mo naman maigaganti si mommy sa ganyang paraan eh” I'm start to tremble and my voice begins to break “being a mafia is a big mistake, those are criminals, p-pumapatay sila”
Nakita ko na natigilan siya sa sinabi ko, he looked at me “Yes, I'm one of them but I can't kill, you can call me a mafia, pero hindi Criminal”
Nagugulohan ko siyang tinignan “Dad? Mafia and Criminal are just the same, you can't change that! so how did you say that matatawag kitang mafia pero hindi criminal?”
Tinalikuran niya na ako at naglakad nalang papunta sa pintuan, pero bago pa siya makalabas ay nag salita ako “why are you doing this, why don't you just have the police do it?” tanong ko habang pinupunasan ang mga nag si-laglagang luha
Hindi siya humarap saakin “Malinis gumawa ng crimin ang mga yun, at hindi ko kayang patagalin ito kaya kailangan kong malaman at maghiganti sa kung sino man ang pumatay sa mommy mo, I love her, I promised her Dad that I would take care of her like I take care of you, pero ang mga putang iyon ay hindi makuntinto” at tuluyan na siyang lumisan.
Pabagsak akong napaupo sa sahig, nanghihina ako sa nalaman ko, I can't call him a criminal, he's my Dad
Narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan kaya napatingin ako kung sino ang pumasok, nakita ko si Sy na mabilis tumakbo papunta sa kinauupuan ko ngayon “Yara” nag alala niyang tawag saakin “... Okay ka lang po ba? May nang yari po bang masama? Sabihin nyo po, tatawagin ko po si Sir Caleb” umiling ako I don't need that man
“no, it's okay, iwan mo nalang muna ako” kahit napipilitan lang siya ay pinili niya parin akong sundin.
Mga ilang minuto ko naisipang lumabas sa kwartong yun at pumunta sa kwarto ko, gusto ko nang magpahinga, paglabas ko ng kwartong iyon ay nakita ko si Caleb, I wanted to avoid him but I chose to ask him “anong ginagawa mo dito?” I asked him
“just wandering around” he said briefly
Tumango tango ako, I was about to pass him when he suddenly grabbed my wrist, I looked at him, and asked “May kailangan ka?”
he did not speak and he handed me the tissue before he left, bumunot ako ng tissue, may sulat
‘I know you're sad, let's go out later, let's have fun,
8pm <(•‿•)’
I smiled at his drawing, its cute, I wonder if I really want to go out later, tinatamad ako wala akong ganang lumabas, but there is also a part of me that wants to go out and drink alcohol, but it would be better if I came
I was in the living room waiting for Yara when Sandro suddenly called me so I turned to him “we've got a clue, kanina lang may naka dampot ng cellphone na ito” he showed me the cellphone “... at naglalaman ito ng mga larawan ni ma'am Yara”
Kinuha ko ang cellphone at tinignan yun “Yara is now the target, we need her to be safe” ani ko habang tinitignan pa ang ibang litrato ni Yara, kakaiba ito, it looks like Yara's photos weren't stolen, tinignan ko pa ang ibang albums para malaman kong kanino ito, I could not believe what I saw “Hey man, this is Nathan's cellphone” at ibinigay ito sa kanya, pero hindi niya ito tinanggap, I looked at him and saw him looking behind me kaya hindi ko mapigilang mapatingin din.
and I saw a woman.
