CHAPTER 74

AMELIA

Planado na ang lahat. I already gave the payment to Teo. Sana lang at hindi na siya pumalpak ngayon. I invested everything. Mawawala ang lahat ng sa akin, kapag nagkamali ka Teo.

Pero kung hindi, mararanasan ngayon ni Vicky ang hangin ng impyerno. At tuluyan nang mapapasaakin ang lahat ng inagaw mo. Si Nicholo... at si Gabriel.. Magiging isang pamliya na ulit kami.

Pero hindi lang ikaw ang makakaranas ng pait na paghihiganti ko, pati ang maiiwan mo. Si Lorey. Dapat pala sinama ko siya sa plano para sa ganoon... wala nang kinababaliwan si Nicholo. Hindi bale, may tamang panahon para sa kanya. Kailangan niya munang maputikan at matapaktapakan.

Pati na rin ang JVL.. Kukunin ko sa inyo. That poor John Alvarez... Sa akin din babagsak ang pinaghirapan mo at ni Vicky. How does it feel? Tuluyan ka nang maghihirap Victoria Marcial.. maghihirap bago ka mawalan ng hininga at magdudusa sa totoo mong mundo, sa impyerno.

Pero bago ka mamatay, sisiguraduhin kong dadanasin mo muna lahat ng sakit mula sa sarili kong mga kamay, ang pagnanasa mula sa mga nagbabagang mata ni Teo hanggang sa tuluyan nang bumulwak ang dugo mo sa ulo. Victoria Marcial, ipakikilala ko na sa'yo ang nakatagong katauhan ni Amelia Reyes.... Arellano.

VICKY

I was on my way to JVL. The road was fine. No heavy traffic and I feel so comfortable even I didn't allow Gabriel to accompany me instead, I asked Mang Pedring.

They need time. Kailangan ng mag-ama ko ng oras para sa kanilang reconciliation. I hope it will happen. I longed for this moment in my life na mabuo na ang tunay kong pamilya. That every one of us loves each other. Let me say that this is like a fairytale. The main characters were getting inlove with each other, the  dream of having a perfect family and they will live happily ever after. I hope it was easy as I dream of it. But, I do believe that everything happens for a reason and in God's timing. And I felt inside my chest that this dream will come true.

Now, all I need to do is to trust Gabriel to fix everything and I don't have a doubt that Lorey will be getting into worse. I knew both of them.

I put the stacks of folders on my table after getting into that thought. It's already 5 PM and I forgot to eat lunch because I'm thinking of ways on how to conciliate my mag-ama.

And now, I'm hungry. I don't want to disturb anybody so I rushed to the parking lot and called Mang Pedring.

When I got inside the car, the lightness of my chest began to fade. I began to frazzle. Maybe because nagugutom lang ako.  It was so strange to feel this feeling spreading all over my body. Thoughts are forming inside my mind. Maybe I am just very hungry, tired or overwork?

Pero parang hindi eh. Iba ang nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko lang ma-figure out kung ano 'yon.

The car suddenly stopped.

"Anong pong nangyari Mang Pedring?" I asked.

Baka nag-overheat lang. I told myself.

"Hindi ko po alam Ma'am. Bigla na lang pong huminto eh."I saw his face stroke with surprise. He jumped out of the car to check what happened.

I reached for my phone to call Gabriel pero may narinig ako sa labas kaya sumilip ako sa bintana. What I have saw was a motorcycle. Maybe just someone who saw us and trying to lend a hand.

I heard another sound, this time it was like something shattered outside. I opened the backseat door to check what's happening outside the car.

My jaw dropped when I saw Mang Pedring's clothes tinted with his own blood. I jumped beside him and saw something bumped on his head and a sharp thing stabbed on his side.
