Hindi ko alam kung nananaginip ba ako o hindi. I can't even differentiate what's real and not these past few days and I don't know if I trust what I'm seeing right now.

This can't be real, right?

These things that's going all over the internet, it's not real right? Kailan ko lang sila nakita at nakausap. It was yesterday. Kahapon lang.

And what's going on now? I don't understand. How? How is this happening now?

Who exposed them?

"Caprice!" as the door of my room opens. It revealed my brother who look worried, confused, shocked, and I'm not sure if it relief or what.

"Are you okay?"

I looked back to my phone and once again saw the articles that's been all over the social media. It was them.

The famous tycoon Arnold Primo was arrested for running an illegal business together with Juanito Corpuz and other known businessmen

Juanito Corpuz for raping an 18-year-old

The tycoon Arnold Primo runs a club that involves prostitution

Arnold Primo, Juanito Corpuz, and their dead friend, Matthew Sernadilla raped an underage?

There are so much more featured articles that's been going on social media that involves the three of them. Marami pang ibang articles pero hindi ko na nabasa sa kadahilanang nahulog ang cellphone ko.

My hands were shaking, confused of what I'm feeling. It were all mixed up. Anger, disgust, hurt, and relief are what I'm feeling.

Hindi ko na napansin si Kuya na pinulot ang cellphone ko at binulsa. Before I could fall, nasalo na niya ako.

Finally, these are all over. Sa wakas ay makakawala na ako sa impyernong mga ala-alang iyon.

Gusto kong tumawa. Tumawa kahit walang nararamdamang tuwa. They deserve it!

No.

They deserve more than that!

"It's okay, Caprice. It's okay," alo niya sa akin nang maramdaman ang sobrang panginginig ng buong katawan ko.

And for the last time, my tears fell. Hindi dahil sa sakit, trauma at paghihirap kundi sa wakas ay magbabayad na sila sa mga nagawa nila.

Oo, galit ako. Galit na galit ako sa kanila. They should rot in jail for not only to me they had wronged, assaulted, and ruined.

For god sake, it's not only me. Hindi lang ako ang biktima nila. How could they do that to other people when they had their own family. May sarili silang pamilya and yet they had the guts to ruin someone's life?

"It's over, Caprice."

Napahagulgol ako sa iyak and hugged my brother tightly. Finally, it's over.

"It's b-been years," my voice cracked. "Y-Years..."

He rubbed my back as I cry louder.

"I'm sorry for not being there, Caprice. I'm sorry. I f-failed being your b-brother..."

I wanted to correct him but I couldn't find my voice anymore. Hindi ko na mahanap ang sariling boses para magsalita. Iyak na lang ang nagawa ko.

I promised that this is my last break down. I will heal myself after these. After I made sure they are behind bars, begging for their lives to be saved. Begging for forgiveness from people they had wronged.
