Matt's PoV

Nakatingin ako sa kawalan habang hinihithit ang sigarilyo ko. Nalaman kong Part pala ng Mafia si Dad. Hindi ako sumama sa pag aayos ng Katawan niya because I want to be alone. I need to think of what moms offer to me. Gusto niyang ako ang humalili sa posisyon ni dad under the mafia world. Shit! Shit that Mafia! And mom told me what kind of mafia group killed dad. Tch. Fuck them! Busy ako sa paghithit sa sigarilyo ko nung maramdaman kong may tao sa paligid. Im not that easy to see because Im on the corner of the rooftop and its dark here. I threw my cigarrete at nakiramdam. I know that she is a girl. I saw her figure but it looks familiar.

She's now standing like she's thinking so deep. At sa sobra niyang pag-iisip, di niya namalayan na nakalapit na ako sa kanya. And Im right. She's Antana. She said a while ago that her dad is here. What a co-incidence right? But what happened to her dad?
I try to approach her and poke her on her shoulder when she immediately grab my hand and twisted it.

"Ah!"

I shout in pain. I thought she didnt notice me. But I was surprise. How did she do that?

"S-sorry. Akala ko kasi kung sino eh. "

She said with full of sincerity.

"Its okay. Shit! "

My hand hurts! Tch. Ikaw ba naman ang itwist ang kamay hindi ka ba masasaktan? Psh

"Naku! Sorry talaga! Akin na. Akin na yang kamay mo."

Inabot ko naman ang kamay ko sa kanya. And the next thing I knew is she's massaging it and it feels heaven!

"Naku! Sorry talaga ha? Di ko kasi alam na ikaw pala yun. Sorry..."

She's almost crying. Pfft.. She's so cute. She looks worried. Haha.

"Its okay. Im fine. Perfectly fine now that youre massaging it. You dont have to worry."

"Ikaw kasi eh! Basta basta kana lang lumalapit. Ayan tuloy akala ko kung sino. Bakit kasi di mo muna ako tumawag or something diba? Mapipilayan ka pa tuloy ng dahil sakin. "

Tch. Ang kulit talaga niya. But instead of annoyance, I felt something and I find it cute.
She's really something. She stop massaging my shoulder.

"Haha. Its okay. What are you doing here?"

"Ah. Wala. Nagpapahangin lang ako. Madame kasing nangyari ngayong araw."

She looks depress. Even tough, shes still be beautiful

"Ahh. Okay. Why dont you sleep first? Its already 5 in the morning. Are you going to school today?"

"I think hindi muna. I wanna help mom."

Yeah. Shes so kind and thoughtful. Thats the way I like her. Yes. I dont wanna take it any longer for all of you to know. I like her and I really do. Five years from now, I figure out that I like her. Nah. I think I love her. So I hate seeing her like that.

"Okay. Ahm. Have you eaten your breakfast?"

I ask. Ayokong maputol ang conversation namin. Kasi kahit papano nalilibang ako at nawawala sa isip ko ang mga nangyari kay dad.

"Ahm. Not yet. But can I ask you? Hows your dad? Is he alright?"

I froze. For a while. The relief I feel suddenly fades. I felt anger.

Antana's PoV

"Ahm. Not yet. But can I ask you? Hows your dad? Is he alright?"

Actually kanina ko pa gusto itanong yan. Shit! Kanina kasi pag punta ko dito sa rooftop alam kong may tao na. But I didnt care. I can protect myself. When he nearly touch me, I suddenly grab his hand and twisted it. But when I hear him shout, bigla akong nagulat. Kasi si Matt pala yun. Huhu. Nasaktan ko tuloy siya.

Pero biglang nagbago ang mukha niya. Kanina parang ok naman siya tapos ngayon parang ang sama na ng mukha niya.
Nakita ko pang kinuyom niya ang mga kamay niya. Galit ba siya? Ah. Siguro na offend siya sa tanong. Sino ba naman ang magiging okay kung nasa ospital diba? Minsan talaga ang tanga ko.

"Ah. Okay lang. Wag mo na sagut--"

"H-he's dead."

What? He is dead? But-- argh! I felt guilty. Dapat pala hindi ko na tinanong. Lumapit ako sa kanya at yinakap. Nalulungkot ako para sa kanila ni tita Tilda. Thats his mom's name. Kawawa naman si Matt. Iniwan sila ni Tito Mathew. W-wait. My eyes suddenly widen with my thoughts.  Sandali lang. Diba ang pangalan ng group namin is CasVi? Pinaghalong apelido ni mommy at daddy. Tapos pag pinaghalo yung pangalan nila tito Mathew at Tita Tilda, i-its MaTilda? Shit! Wag naman sana.

He hug me back. Isasantabi ko muna kung ano man ang naiisip ko.

"Its okay Matt. I know that he is going to be fine with God."

"I know. But he got killed. "

My eyes widened. Literally. He got killed? Pinatay si tito Mathew? So ibig sabihin -- pero si dad nasa hospital din dahil gusto siyang patayin. Posible kayang? No. I doubt that. Magkakilala sila dad at tito Mathew. So imposible. Pero-- argh! Ayoko na! Ayoko ng mag isip ng kung ano ano.

"S-sorry? Pero what did you say? He got killed? By whom? Do you know who did that to him? "

Sunod sunod na tanong ko. Syempre kailangan kong malaman ang totoo. Baka kasi mamaya tama ang hinala ko hindi ba?

"Yeah. I know who killed dad. And one thing I assure to them, they'll suffer hell if I caught each of them."

Bawat salita niya ay may diin. At each of them? So ibig sabihin marami just like a group? Shit! Pero mali. Mali ang hinala ko. Kailangan kong paniwalaan ang mga nasa isip ko. At wala naman akong nabalitaang part din si Tito Mathew ng Mafia.

------8:00 in the morning-----

Hindi muna ako pumasok ngayon. After ng conversation namin kanina ay hinatid na niya ako dito sa hospital room ni daddy. Sabi ko nga sa kanya gusto ko makita ang daddy niya. But ayaw niya. So I just sent my condolence to them. Pero Palaisipan paren sakin yung naisip ko kanina about sa MaTilda. Sana naman hindi. Pag nangyari yun, hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.

Matt's PoV

Im here at the chapel kung saan nakaratay si daddy. Kanina pa umiiyak si mom. I hate seeing her like that. Im hurt too but damn! Im still trying to act that Im not hurting. But Fvck! Bullshit this feeling! I wanna scream and cry. Kanina pa lalo na nung niyakap ako ni Antana.

I walk towards mom and hug her.

"Dont worry mom. We'll get through this. I promise you. We'll take our revenge. "

"W-what do you mean? A-are you taking your d-dad's position?"

I nod.

"Yes mom. Im willing to take his position. And I will protect you even our mafia group."

She smile and hug me. Mark my words. Mahahanap na nila ang hinahanap nila. Heto ang gusto nila? Fine! I"ll give them what they want! I promise.
