"Veira! Lumabas ka dyan! Pakawalan mong mga anak namin!"
These loud shouts woke up Veira's family the next morning. Dahil sa nangyari kagabi, they decided to halt driving the food cart for today.
They needed Nanay Onang to recover first. She got the most shock last night. Veira realized she wasn't able to consider the old woman last night and couldn't help guilty because she even heard that she fainted due to worry for them.
As for Lulu's eyes...
Bago sila natulog ay mugtong mugto na iyon. So she definitely wouldn't want to go out today.
Going back...
Veira saw three old women standing outside her house. Unti unti na ring nagsipaglabasan ang mga kapitbahay nila.
"HOY! Salot ka talaga! Pakawalan mong mga anak namin!" Nanalilisik pa ang mga mata ni Aling Wanda habang nakaturo sa kanya. She looked so mad.
Veira simply scratched her ears.
Dang, so noisy...
"Aling Wanda, kahit halughugin niyo pa ang bahay namin, wala dito ang mga anak ninyo! Ang aga aga eh nambubulahaw kayo."
"Veira! Alam kong alam mo ang sinasabi namin!" That's the other old woman na kachismisan ni Aling Wanda sa tindahan niya. She's called Aling Alice. She looked aggressive too. As for the other one na ang pangalan ay Aling Isang... she was also yelling for her son to be released but there was also a guilt on her face.
When Veira saw that, her expression turned cold. So magkakakuntsaba pala talaga ang mga pamilya nila. It was fortunately na sumama siya sa dalawa kahapon. Paano kung hindi? Even if she could defend Lulu, but Lili might end up in harm just to do so.
"Aling Wanda, ano na namang ineeskandalo ninyo dito?" Aling Freida asked. Unang sigaw pa lang ng tatlong ginang ay napalabas na agad siya at napatakbo sa pintuan nila Veira.
Really these old shrews! Wala man lang silang konsiderasyon sa nangyari kagabi kanila Veira!
"Wag kang mangailam dito, Freida! Hindi ako titigil kakasigaw dito hanggang hindi pinalalaya niyang si Veira ang anak ko!"
Agad namang sumang-ayon ang dalawang ginang sa gilidan niya.
"Nagkakamali ata kayo, Aling Wanda, Aling Alice at Aling Isang. Gabing gabi na nakauwi sila Veira kagabi. Many of us witnessed their arrival but none of us saw your sons with them last night." One of the other neighbors said. She sympathized kanila Veira dahil malamang ay may trauma pa sila sa nangyari kagabi tapos ngayon naman ay nabulahaw pa sila nitong sila Aling Wanda.
The others nodded and looked at the three of them disapprovingly.
"Sabi ko ng wag kayong mangailam dito eh!" Aling Wanda picked up a rock and was about to smash it towards the onlookers but Veira held her wrist quickly.
"Y-you..." Aling Wanda tried to pry her wrist from Veira's grip but she was unsuccessful. The young lady flicked her wrist at dahil sa sakit na naramdaman niya ay nabitiwan niya ang bato.
The action of Aling Wanda of picking a rock and wanting to smash it to others shook the two madams na kasama niya. What is this Wanda doing? Ang usapan lang nila ay sisindakin lang nila ang pamilya nila Veira para bawiin na ang reklamo nila sa Law Enforcement Office.
What was she thinking picking stones and wanting to hurt others?
Dahil doon, they decided to not follow their original plan anymore. Mukha din namang nagalit na nilang husto si Veira dahil sa ginawa nitong si Wanda. Really a pig teammate!
