Ripped Truth (Unknown Series #1)

I

I - Open heart

It has been six years of my longing since my parents... vanished. Iyon ang itatawag ko, nawala lang sila diba? While my uncle always tells me they're already dead... pero nawala lang sila, diba? They might be gone for six years but they will still come back right?

I could never understand it. I was facing my griefs alone because I still have to face my little brother who thinks they just took a vacation. Hindi ko kayang isipin na namatay na ang mga magulang ko... parang kahapon lang nang naglalaro kami ng habul-habulan sa garden at kapag nadadapa si Thorn ay matitigil sandali ang laro at binababy namin siya para mautong sumali ulit.

But that was already six years ago...

My Uncle Eduardo flew in the Philippines literally while my parent's house was burning to the ground. He tried his best to find the people who are involved, but he still can't find anything. Everyone was dead in that village except us... uncle Eduardo is richer and smarter he built the safest house. And before I knew it, I woke up in a different bed in a different country. We never got the justice we deserved yet... £10M is enough for us to shut up? No... it's not.

Kinumbinsi ko ang sarili ko na hindi totoo ang sinasabi ng aking tiyo dahil wala pa namang ebidensya, but what happened in the little village in a remote island in Philippines... was traumatizing.

Uncle Eduardo is settled in Spain and we lived there for Five years until we're safe again, it was very confusing. I lived with my mother's side of the family for the whole years and learned lots and lots of languages. I still can't understand and can't communicate to people... I was bullied. Naalala ko nung primaria ay unang taon ko ng wala ang magulang ko.

I smiled to the students as they are looking at me intently waiting for me to speak. "Hola a todos, mi nombre es Roseanne Monsivais. Mis padres se han ido ... ¡mi tío me está cuidando!" hi everyone, my name is Roseanne Monsivais. My parents are gone... my uncle is taking care of me!

Kitang-kita ko ang disgusto sa itsura nila na parang may sinabi akong mali. My face flushed in embarrassment as tears formed in my eyes. Tinignan ko ang guro sa gilid ko na maamo ang itsura at tila cinocomfort ako sa isipan niya...

"Rose no tiene padres!" biro ng isang estudyante at nagsitawanan ang iba... he's right I have no parents.

Everytime I walk in the corridors in my school, people always teased me for not having parents, that even though I was rich I don't have parents... natuto ako, kung kaya't nung middle school ay wala akong naging ibang kaibigan kung hindi si Madeleine lang at si Sapphire. We occassionally visit the Philippines to check on our houses.

But going back there was a living nightmare for me... but I found myself in these four corners of Agnostos University that is filled by students entering a new diversity of education in a whole different world. A university exclusive only for people who are related to people in Mystiko or who wanted to join Mystiko.

Apparently if you chose to come in this university, you won't be able to leave again. You will put all your dedication in Mystiko or also known as Secret Missions Organization. And unfortunately, I agreed to my uncle to go back in the Philippines and continued my studies in here than the one in Spain.
