ALWAYS YOU - 8 (JiBea)

BEA POV

All the while I thought, Miguel was the only problem. But as I go deeper, the situation is seem to be getting more complicated.

Katatapos lang nang naganap na barilan and too bad that I got hurt but luckily daplis lang ang tama. But the danger is just starting and I can feel it.

Maaring napatay na ang tatlong sumugod sa villa but the mastermind is still out there and his identity is yet unknown.

But one thing I am sure of, it was not Miguel who did it. The target was Jia and not me. And knowing Miguel hindi siya gagawa ng isang bagay na ikapapahamak ni Jia.

The big question is, sino ang may pakana?! If my guess serves me right, Jia was the target but Miguel was the end goal.

And sa trabaho ni Miguel as a businessman, maraming pwedeng maging threat sa kanya. Isama mo pa ang mga under the table affairs niya in and out of the country.

Miguel is a bigtime businessman, it means mas big time din angga threat sa kanya. And since Miguel is well-secured, the easy way to get through him, is through Jia.

DEN: "What now?! Magtitigan lang tayo dito?!"

Isang mataray na wika mula kay ate Den na pumukaw sa atensiyon ko. Nasa isang secluded hall kami, kasama si Miguel.

Nasa magkabilang pwesto kami ni Miguel at sa opposite side ay nandun si Jia. I cannot read her expression. Kaya hindi ako alam kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip niya.

MIGUEL: "Wala akong kinalaman sa mga nangyayari. Kung meron mang kailangan magpaliwanag dito hindi ako yum kundi ang isang yan."

Sabay tingin sa akin ng masama. Kung nakakasakit lang ang tingin malamang sugatan na ako sa paraan ng tingin niya.

LY: "Both of you had something to explain. You Miguel, why are you here at paano mo nalaman ang nangyaring barilan dito? And how did you know about what happened in the reception area?"

MIGUEL: "I already told you kanina. Someone just informed me about what happened here. And of course, I worry for Jia kaya pumunta agad ako dito."

PONGS: "Tsskkk... Were not stupid Miguel. Do you really think, we'll gonna buy that?!"

Wika niya na may pagkainis pa. Maaring sa ibang tao bumenta ang alibi ni Miguel but with what is going on, no one will buy it.

MIGUEL: "You can believe what you want. I don't owe you any explanation."

Matapang na sagot niya at kita mong paninindigan niya ang gusto niyang sabihin. Wala siyang balak magpahuli sa mga bagay na itinatago niya.

LY: "If you will not cooperate Miguel, just get out of this place."

She is now losing her patience. Kita ko sa aura niya na galit na siya. And it is not a good idea to piss off the phenom.

MIGUEL: "Ano pa ba ang gusto niyong sabihin ko? Sinabi ko naman na ang alam ko."

Inis na wika ni Miguel out of frustration.

LY: "The truth Miguel. I want the truth. We all want the truth here."

Bulyaw ni ate Ly and she was not intimidated with Miguel's angry voice. And she is furious right now. Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang nagalit ng ganyan.

DEN: "With what happened here, we all deserve to know the truth."

ELLA: "You better go out now Miguel. Don't give us reasons to kick you out of here."

Singit na ni ate Ella. And her voice means business. The tone was too serious and you would rarely heard her with the tone of hers now.
