IRENE THOMPSON

I feel dizzy when someone woke me up.

Ghaddd!

Nag-inom pala ako kahapon because of my boyfriend's first death anniversary and I ended up going to Leo's place.

"Why did you let yourself enter our enemies' turf?" tanong niya Kuya nang maipasok niya ako sa kotse niya.

Hindi ko na lang ito sinagot dahil sa hilong-hilo pa ako.

"Nawalan ka na ba ng delikadiza?" tanong pa niya.

"What time is it?" pagiiba ko ng topic.

"It's four forty in the morning" sagot niya.

I cried when I remembered that 4:40 am was the exact death when they declared his death.

"You have the nerve to cry at sa harap ko pa mismo!" sigaw saakin ni Kuya.

"Can't you just let me mourn for my boyfriend's death?" tanong ko sa kanya. He froze upon hearing me.

"T-tristan?" he asked. U just gave him a nod.

"I'm sorry" he said. He started the car silenty and we left the village

Pagkarating namin ng bahay, nanatili ako sa loob ng kotse niya nang mapansin ang folder sa harap.

Kinuha ko ito at binasa. Kahit na hilong-hilo ay pinilit ko pa rin ang sarili ko na basahin ito.

Dad gave his 27% share to Leo. What the fuck? Bakit hindi niya ito ibinigay kay Kuya or saakin? Bakit sa outsider pa?

" What's with this guy?" di makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"Thier deal. That must be the bait" tugon ni Kuya.

"I want you to stay away from him" Sabi pa ni Kuya.

"I'll ask dad" Sabi ko bago lumabas ng kotse.

Nadatnan ko si mama at papa sa Sala habang nag-uusap sila nang mapansin nila ang presinsya ko ay tumigil sila sa pag-uusap saka ako binalingan.

"Ano tong sinasabi ni Kuya?" tanong ko sa kanila.

"You have the idea right?" tanong ko pa.

"Take a seat hija" Sabi ni papa.

"No, I won't" Sabi ko.

"Dad, how could you give your shares to someone stranger?" di makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"I never expect this!"

"I'm just very thankful to the person" tugon ni papa.

"for what? For that unsuccessful transaction you had? You almost got caught!" Sabi ko.

"It's was successful not until your stupid brother messed with it!" sigaw pabalik ni papa.

"Because of that man, Guan Lim arrived here successfully" Sabi pa niya.

"Successful? The heck! It rotten!" sigaw ko.

"It's not" tumayo si papa saka kami hinarap.

"I promised to gave him my share in TTP once Guan Lim arrived here safely. Tinutupad ko lang ang pangako." he said before leaving us.

I was so speechless-----

Umalis ako ng bahay at pumunta ng opisina.

"He's not here po" Sabi ni Lori. Hindi ko na siya pinansin  at pumasok na sa opisina ni Leo.

I waited there for almost twenty minutes nang biglang bumukas ang pinto. Si Leo.

"Sorry kung hindi kita naihatid" Sabi niya habang nang makita ako.
