Epilogue


Revenge is an act of doing something to hurt someone because that person did something that hurt you. That is the definition of revenge based on Merriam Webster, but my own definition is different. Revenge is an act of killing the one whom hurt you the most. When he killed her, It hurts me the most.

I've been living in the dark since my sister died. Someone might say that everyone should forget everything and move on, but in my case, I don't want to do that.

Forgetting is for weak and revenge is for strong people.

Bakit ko kakalimutan ang nangyari sa kapatid ko? Bakit ko pababayaang maging masaya ang taong nagbibigay sa akin ng sakit at lungkot?

Kapatid ko na lang ang buhay ko, at sa kaniya na lang umiikot ang mundo ko. Siya ang pinaka-importanteng tao sa akin.

Nag-iisa na lang siya. My parents are happily living their eternal life. May kulay pa ang mundo ko noong buhay pa si Charity pero naglaho ang maganda kong mundo nang mawala siya.

I stared at the lake sorrowfully. I took a deep breath and then I strolled down the village street. I suddenly halt when I heard my phone rings.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko sa aking bulsa at bago ko sagutin ito ay tiningnan ko muna ang pangalan ng tumatawag.

I took a deep breath and then I answered the call.
"You need to come here in Manila, Ferocious. You need to take over my position." Bungad na sabi sa akin ng nasa kabilang linya.

"Pappoú, I don't want to be a CEO. I'm okay being a COO." I spoke calmly.

"You're my only heir, Ferocious. Ikaw din naman ang papalit sa akin balang-araw. Hindi ka pa ba sanay? Tuwing wala ako o kaya may sakit ako ay laging ikaw ang pumapalit sa posisyon ko. Acting CEO ka na din naman, bakit hindi pa natin i-proseso ng legal?" He asked me while confusion is evident in his voice.

"I still need to do something, Pappoú." I responded.

"Is it your revenge for Clarke? Forget about it, Apo. It will only ruin your life." He said worriedly.

"My life was already ruined." I answered.

"Give me time, Pappoú. I will stay as an acting CEO for a one year or two...." I assured him.

Narinig ko ang malakas niyang pagbuntong hininga. "I'm old, Ferocious."

"Give me two years or more. I will accept the CEO position when I'm okay with my plan." Paghingi ko sa kaniya ng pabor.

"Make it faster, Ferocious. Tapusin mo na ang gusto mong gawin. I want to retire." Mahinahon niyang sabi.

I know that he wanted to rest from work. He's old and all he wanted is to enjoy and be happy in his life.

"If that's what you want, Pappoú. I'm still not ready to accept your position. Acting CEO lang muna ako tuwing may sakit ka o gusto mong magpahinga. Marami pa din akong gustong gawin at kung tatanggapin ko agad ang position mo ay baka mawalan ako ng oras para maisakatuparan ang mga plano ko." Saad ko.

I'm really desperate to do my revenge. I know that he's dead but he has a family and they will be the one who will suffer from my wrath.
