SOMEONE'S POV

"Tell me what happened in Batangas..." I asked my nephew.

He's just looking at me with his tired eyes.

"W-We f-failed to get the file t-that you want in Favian's room. A d-dog bothered us... and we didn't have enough time to—"

"B*LLSHIT!" sigaw ko dito.

T*ngina! Pumalpalpak na naman sila! Mga walang kwenta! That file is important! That's my key to get Mr. Jungwrith as my investor! Mga walang kwenta talaga! Dahil sa aso hindi nila nagawa?!

"Ano ba naman yan?! Ang tagal mo ng nagmamanman sa kanila pero hindi mo pa rin kabisado ang bawat galaw nila?!" bulyaw ko dito kaya napayuko siya. Yeah, he's good at pretending pero kulang pa!

"There a lot of things that are beyond my control, Tito... B-But... nagkagulo din... nagaway-away sila... Si Favian, umalis na siya ng bansa at mukhang matagal pa bago bumalik..."

Sa sinabi nito ay napalingon ako sa kanya.

He left the country?

My nephew looked at me weirdly as he he heard me laugh out loud!

"FOR REAL?! Damn... that's good... mas okay ng wala siya... Matinik ang lalaking 'yan. He nearly catch me! Now that he's gone, we could lie low..." sa sinabi ko ay agad na nanlaki ang mga mata niya.

"Lie low? What do you mean Tito?" nalilito niyang tanong sa akin.

"Few years won't hurt. Kameron and Favian have done a great damage to my plan by just having powerful investors in their company. Sa panahong wala siya, parang mawawala din tayo na parang bula. Let them think that they'll finally have peace pero ang totoo magpapalakas lang tayo. I'll make my empire stronger, tsaka natin itutuloy ang plano..." nakangising kong ani habang binubuo na sa aking isipan ang mga susunod kong hakbang.

"Y-You mean we'll let them be for now?" he asked.

"Ganun na nga, ituloy mo lang ang pagpapanggap na kaibigan nila. Bantayan mo silang lahat, lahat ng galaw nila lalo na si Kalea. Mas makakagalaw ka na dahil wala si Favian pero magiingat ka pa din. Isang maling galaw mo lang masisira ang plano ko at alam mo naman ang consequence kapag nangyari iyon diba, mahal kong pamangkin?" nakangisi kong sabi sa kanya. I saw how his eyes turned darker as his fist was clenched tightly.

"Gagawin ko ng maayos ang pinapagawa mo, basta tumupad ka lang sa usapan. Wag na wag mong gagalawin ang nagiisang pamilya ko na natira sa akin..." he said as a tear flow from his eyes.
