"Yes Dad. I can't let Kish see them knowing their background. That guy in the grey shirt with tattoo on his arm.." turo nito sa hawak ng kaniyang ama na litrato. "..Is Denzel's cousin, an ex-convict for illegal drugs. The girl beside her, his wife, a known gambler in their place..."
"That guy in stripes.." turo naman nito sa hawak na larawan ng kaniyang tito. "... with his wife and oldest son, Denzel's cousin, are the reason why she became what she shouldn't be. They're also involved in human trafficking. Pero hindi mahuli dahil may kapit sila. And that is Denzel's Tito, a police officer." Muli ay may isang larawan siyang itinuro, a guy in his Police uniform. "But they are said to be idle from their illegal activities for years now. pero ayokong maging Kampante."
"Tsk, Tsk! This will be hard case Andrew. It's like digging your own grave if you associate yourself with them." his Tito commented.
"Sareena texted me not to come today in the hospital when she said the old lady died. Nalaman umano ng mga ito ang tungkol sa pamilya ng anak ni Denzel at baka magkagulo. Pero kapag nalaman ni Kish na wala na ang kaniyang lola, she would probably asked and nagged me about it. And I can't bring her there tito."
"And what do you suggest then?" Mr. Arthur asked.
Andrew told them his plans as his parents listen carefully. Mahahalata ang pag-aalala sa mukha ng kaniyang mga magulang but in the end, they just agreed.
Kinabukasan, matapos ang klase ni Andrew sa umaga, kasama ang kaniyang Tito ay nakipagkita siya Kay Sareena.
Thirty minutes before the said time, Andrew and attorney Deo came to the coffee shop near the Hospital. Katabi nito ay convenience store na katapat ng Ospital kung saan na-admit ang Lola ng dalagita.
Pagpasok ay ang counter area agad ang sasalubong sa iyo, sa tapat ay may dalawang round tables with chairs at long table with chairs facing the decorated wall. There a lot more tables and chairs when you go inside. They settled themselves at the tables and chairs near the counter area. They both ordered a cup of coffee.
The glass wall was decorated with sticker papers with letters kaya hindi nakikita ang nasa loob at kung sino ang nasa labas.
Pagdating ng nasabing oras ng pagkikita nila ng dalagita, bumukas ang pinto ng coffee shop at pumasok roon sI Sareena na halata ang pamamaga ng mga mata, Halatang galing sa pag-iyak.
Nahanap naman siya ng dalagita nang ilinga ang tingin sa paligid nang makapasok. Nagulat pa ito nang makitang may kasama siya.
"S-sir." tawag nito nang makalapit.
"Maupo ka Sareena." utos niya rito. Napasulyap pa ito sa katabi ni Andrew bago tuluyang mapaupo. Panay ang lunok nito at hindi makatingin ng diretso sa kanila.
"Kumusta ang katawan ng Lola mo? Inasikaso ba ng ospital?" tanong ni Andrew na nagpaangat ng tingin sa mukha ng dalagita.
"Nasa morgue na po yung katawan ni Lola pero hindi pa maipalabas dahil hindi ko po maasikaso ang bills namin, S-sir. Hindi pa ako makapunta sa foundation. Pinipigilan akong paalisin ng mga pinsan ni Lola, buti nga Lang at nakalabas po ako ngayon." nahihiyang paliwanag ng babae. "Sir, kapag nalaman nila na nandito kayo baka kung anong mangyari."
"This is our family attorney, si Tito Deo. Nothing will happened to me. At nandito kami para kausapin ang mga kamag-anak ni Denzel. Gusto kong sabihin mo sa kanila na kakausapin ko sila."
"P-pero sir....." bumaha ang takot sa mukha ng dalagita. He just smile at her, reassuring her that's it's fine.
Ayun sa inutos ni Andrew, tumalima naman ang babae at agad tinawagan ang kanilang mga kamag-anak. They set the time and place of the urgent meeting.
