Hello, My Moon! 🌙

CHAPTER 44

.

.

It's been a week since Sara went back to her home. At dahil nga pwede kaming dumalaw dun anytime, according to Mr. Duterte himself, eh syempre sinasamantala namin ang pagkakataon. LALO NA AKO! Haha.

Gaya nga ng sabi ko, ayokong ma-Miss si Sara. Kahit Isang araw man lang. Kung pwede lang bumili ako ng bahay sa tabi ng bahay nila para araw-araw ko syang makita ay gagawin ko.

Isa pa ay inaalala ko lang din ang sinabi ni Mr. Duterte tungkol sa panganib na nakaabang sa buhay ni Sara kaya hanggat maaari ay gusto kong nasa tabi ako ni Sara anumang oras.

But that can't be. There's so much going on in our business and my dad also needs me. Aside from that ay hindi pa rin kami tumitigil ni ate Imee sa pagtugis sa kriminal na iyon. Until one day I received a call from my ate Imee.

I immidiately went to her office at naabutan ko sina ate Imee, ate Irene and dad. Ate Imee pointed to the chair beside dad for me to sit on. I took a deep breath before sitting beside dad because I can feel something intense is going on. I mean for ate Imee to call all of us, except of course our bunso, Aimee.

"Any update about that crim-" naputol na agad ang sasabihin ko.

"Sara's father did it." Mariing sabi ni ate Imee.

"Sara- What about her? What does Sara have to do with this issue? " nagtataka ng tanong ko.

"It's her father, Bong. Sara's father killed our mom!" mariing sabi ni ate Imee.

I was taken aback. What did I just heard? It is for real? Sara's father is my mother's killer? Why? HOW?!

Napuno ng sandaling katahimikan ang paligid habang hinihintay ng lahat ang sasabihin ko pero wala talaga akong maisip na salita para I-describe kung anong nararamdaman ko ngayon.

"Alam kong nabibigla ka pa sa ngayon anak. But we're to tell you na sigurado kaming lahat sa nalaman namin. Sara is Gary Ramon's daughter. She's not biologically related to Mr. Dut-" pinutol ko na ang sasabihin pa ni Dad.

"I know. I just found out about that. So what's your plan now ate? I'm sure walang kinalaman si Sara dun at hindi nya kailangang madamay dito?" mariing sabi ko habang nakatingin sa kapatid ko.

"Actually... there is." Sagot ni ate Imee.

Nanlaki naman ang mata ko sa sinabi nyang iyon.

"What?! No! How?" naiinis na tanong ko.

"Bong, listen to me first okay? You see, someone was put to jail when mom died. Hindi sya ang pumatay pero kasabwat sya. His name is Ernez. He was so furious of getting caught alone for the crime he didn't do, that he still managed to take revenge and find Gary even if he's behind bars." Paliwanag nya.

"Ernez found out that Gary had a daughter and he's now looking for Sara and use her to take revenge on his father." Dagdag nya pa.

"Then we must help her. We have to tell her and her parent ts about that Ernez and-" putol na sabi ko.

"We can't! We cant just do that, Bong! " pagalit na sabi ni ate Imee sakin.

Napatayo si ate Irene para awatin siya. Marahang hinagod ni ate Irene ang likod ni ate Imee at ibinalik sya sa pagkakaupo.

"We need her. We need Sara to get to Gary. Gagamitin ni Ernez si Sara para palabasin ang ama nyang si Gary. At yun ang magiging pagkakataon natin ipahuli na nag tuluyan ang Gary na yun! " sabi ni ate Imee habang tuloy pa rin sa pag-alo si ate Irene sa kanya.
