spring was gone | Buenvenidez Series #1 [COMPLETED]

18

Akala ko mahirap na yung papiliin ka sa dalawang laruan na gusto mo, o di kaya'y ang pumili ng tamang sapatos para sa araw na 'yon. Akala ko mahirap na ang mga bagay na 'yon, pero wala na palang mas hihirap pa kapag naipit ka na sa dalawang bagay.

Ang kaibigan mo, at ang kredibilidad ng pamilya mo.

Ang kaibigan mong nagmamakaawa sayo para tulungan siya, at ang pamilya mong walang magawa dahil umaayon sila sa naaayon na batas.

It pains me after knowing that the thing that hurts my dear friends was the weapon of my own father. It pains me because I was stucked in between—with just my hopes, that seems very hopeless.

"I'll hold on to that one, Faith.." Richela assured me after I gave my answer. She wiped her tears with the sleeves of her jacket. "Kailangan ko nang umuwi.." Aniya.

Max moved forward, kaharap na ngayon ni Rich, "I'll drive you home." He insisted but Rich declined.

"Hindi pwede. Malalaman ni Daddy na kinita ko kayo.."

"But we have to be assured you're safe," Si Cai.

"I'll take a grab. Sasabihin ko nalang kay Daddy na nagmall lang ako sa malapit,"

Suminghap ako, composing myself, "I'll book you one.." I said, she nodded.

"Our men will follow you until you're home. Is it okay?" Alok ni Gust. Tumango naman si Rich.

"Thank you.." Aniya saka kami isa isang niyakap. I immediately booked a grab for her. Gust talked to the driver, bago isinakay si Rich.

Maya maya pa ay sumunod na ang itim na kotse na tingin ko ay mga tauhan ng pamilya nina Gust. We watched the cars until they disappeared from our sight.

"Cuervian Intelligence is the one who handles Marco Dela Vega's case," Napatingin ako sa lalaking katabi ko. He's still facing the road, habang si Max ay humarap sa amin.

"That's under your family's company.." Ani Caius sa akin. Marahan akong tumango, naginit ang gilid ng mga mata.

"I know.. I know.. But I doubt that it was Daddy's men who sends threat.. I've talked to Daddy and he assured me he'll so everything to clear it up," Matamang sagot ko.

Tumango si Gust doon, "I doubt it too. I think another person is behind the threats and is against to Mr. Dela Vega."

My mind was clouded the whole day. Hindi ko nakayanang makinig sa lectures ng aming teacher, wala akong ganang makipagusap sa kahit kanino. All I want was answer, kaya naman nang makauwi sa bahay, I ran half-way to Daddy's office.

Katulad nang nadadatnan ko palagi, Daddy's creased forehead is evident when he saw me opened the door. Tumayo siya kaagad at sinalubong ako, hindi ko na napigilan pa ang pagiyak.

"D-Daddy.. Nagkita kami ni Rich kanina.." I cried like a whinning child.

I felt him sighed heavily, "Anak..." Tawag niya sa akin.

"Daddy.. Their family has been receiving threats.. Tell me, kayo ba ang nagbibigay noon?" Tanong ko saka humarap sa kanya. Bakas sa mga mata ni Daddy ang gulat at agad siyang umiling.

"Of course not, Faith! Anong threat iyon? That's a different issue.." Aniya saka naglakad patungo sa kanyang table. I sat down on the sofa, wiping my own tears.

"Pero security team po natin ang nagbabantay sa kanya hindi ba? Tito Marco Del Vega is number one in the list, next to it is Tito Pancho.." I said.

Pagod na tumango si Daddy saka hinubad ang kanyang specs, "Because Marco Dela Vega is proven to be the mastermind of the crime. He paid men to import and export drugs for illegal businesses."
