“Investigation”
Ilarian Davien POV
Noong una pa man alam ko na ang lahat. Mom and dad aren't going on their so called business trip. But whenever I see them happy, laughing together, My thoughts are having doubts about their secrets.
Hindi lang ang bahay na inuuwian ni daddy ang sinabi saakin ni Investigator Lee. He also told me about the annulment paper na hinahanda daw ng mga abogado nina Mommy at Daddy.
And this time, I feel so betrayed. Niloko nila ako. Pinaniwalang maayos ang lahat. Pinaniwalang walang problema. Na masaya ang lahat.
I remember when I saw my Mom crying in their room. Dad was in his business meeting.
I asked her what's the problem but she just wiped her tears then say nothing. Hug me and then kiss me.
I remember what she told me after that, “I wish, when you discover something, don't let your anger control yourself. Alam kong hindi lang ang sakit na cancer ang pagdadaanan mo, anak. Kundi ang sakit ng pagkabigo at pagkaloko. At tandaan mo, ano mang mangyari, anak, Im always here by your side”
Hindi ko siya naiintindihan nun beacuse I was just 9 years old back then.
Hindi lang si Investigator Lee ang imbestigador na pinadala ko. Kasama na dito si Investigator Revience, daddy ng kaibigan ko.
He told me that my Mom and Dad separated thier business since 2006. Their can't go on the same business meeting because their aren't business partners.
They also told me about my daddy's case. He was jailed year 1998 because of Murder. Sinabi saakin ni Investigator Lee na napagbintangan lang daw si daddy. Habang sinabi naman ni Investigator Revience na napawalang sala si Daddy year 2005 and after that, hindi na sila nagkamabutihan. By that year also, mom discovered na may ibang pamilya si daddy. Since then, naghiwalay na sila ng landas. Nagkikita nalang dahil saakin.
Tinanong ko rin sila kung bakit hinahanda palang ang divorce papers nina mommy at daddy. They told me na ngayon lang daw nagkapanahon sina mommy at daddy para asikasuhin ito. Dahil naospital ako year 2006 at nadiagnose na may stage 2 stomach cancer. At namalagi ng mahigit tatlong taon sa ospital dahil narin sa batang pangangatawan ay hindi kinakaya ang ganoong sakit.
At talagang nagulat ako nang malamang sina Khiert ang inuuwian ni Daddy. Kaya pala tinanong niya ako kay daddy sa ospital.
Sabi na't may alam ka. Hindi mo lang sinabi. Dahil na naman sa sakit na ito!
