"Maam? nasa may parking lot napo ako, papunta napo ba kayo?"
"Opo Manong I'm actually near na po" mas binilisan ko pa ang paglalakad ko knowing na may nag hihintay sa akin
As I was approaching the place where Manong is, may nahagip ang mga mata ko
A black car
I stopped and studied the car in front of me. The wheels in my head is turning
'This is the car that keeps on coming in Lolo's mansion!'
teka?
"Maam?" hindi ko napansin na nasa tabi ko na pala si Manong Felix
"Manong, let's stop by lolo's mansion" I have to confirm something
"Manong Jun, tama ba ako? was the guy I just described the same guy na sumusundo kay Lolo for the past 2 years?" Manong Jun looks like in deep thought
"Parang maam, hindi ko ho medyo ma aninag eh" I sighed and took out my phone
I opened a specific photo and showed it to Mang Jun
My eyes widened when Man Jun confirmed it
"Yan nga ho maam! siya yung pumupunta dito" What in the world is going on?!
I stared at the screen of my phone where his photo is displayed
'Just what are you up to?'
Napa tigil ako sa pag munimuni ng biglang bumukas ang malaking gate ng mansiyon. A truck came in
"Oh, mukhang dumating na yung weekly supply na prutas ng lolo niyo"
'Free fruits every week. Free drive anytime. Something is really going on in here and Lolo Arkie is the only one who knows'
Umuwi na ako sa bahay bago pa ako makita ni Lolo, Lolo is hiding something and he does not want us to know kaya kailangang itago ko na nag sususpetsya ako sa kanya
When I arrived in the house ay diretso lang ako sa kwarto. I messaged Eli and Astrid to face time
"What's the emergency?" bungad ni Eli
I sighed and look straight at them
"Lolo Arkie is up to something. The fruit delivery that started 4 years ago and the free driving thing that started 2 years is so suspicious" Eli seems confused while Astrid visibly stiffened
I turned my full attention to Astrid
"Do you perhaps know something Astrid?" Astrid relaxed and shook her head
"Teka nga, now that you're saying it, I have come to realize that it is suspicious but why now? its been what 4,2 years already. What opened your eyes" Eli stated
"It's not what, It's who" Astrid leaned towards the camera and Eli's brows are knitted
"What do you mean?"
"When i went to Lolo's house, I saw this familiar black car. Apparently, it's the same car that Lolo uses driven by his mysterious driver, but what shocked me was when I saw that car in our school
Kaya naman pumunta ako sa mansion to ask Manong Jun and when I described a certain someone to him ay kinomperma niya na ito daw ang mysterious driver ni Lolo"
When none of them talked ay pinag patuloy ko ang pagsasalita
"It's none other than
Laurent"
