Missing Pieces (Betrayal series #3)

CHAPTER 29

"Oh fuck let me sleep!"

I hit my alarm clock when it rang once again. All i want is to sleep, day-off ko pa naman ngayon bakit ba di ko na off ang alarm ko! But fuck yeah may pag-uusapan nga pala kami ni Shai ngayon.

I take a hot bath and then wear a pastel color jumpsuit. I chat her na papunta na ako sa restaurant.

Narakating ako doon ng wala pa s'ya. I just order a breakfast for us both tapos ayon dumating na din s'ya.

"Hey, ang aga mo ata?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's because of my damn alarm clock." I said, "but why did you invite me here? Care to share?" I take a sip from the coffee.

"Yeah, you know Prince case 4 years ago?" She started.

Yeah fuck, it's been 4 years since we lost him. Our friendship is never the same without him but we still hang outs.

"Hmm? Still no progress? 4 years na yon." I commented, ilang taon na kami naghihintay for his justice.

"There's a tape found inside the truck na naka bangga kay Prince. Ngayon lang nag progress." She said, well nakikichismis pa rin siguro s'ya.

"Who's involved?" I asked curiously, my brows are furrowed waiting for her answer.

"Stop stressing, takam na takam sa chismis? Bukas pa pwedeng marinig yung tape." Umirap s'ya saakin, "but anyways, we're not leaving without a bonding to each other, let's go shopping ipapa-ayos ko din yung hair ko." He comb her hair using her hands para ipakita ang kabuuan nito.

Tamang tama din, ipapa-ayos ko yung buhok ko. So sumama ako kay Shai.

While on the salon magpapakulay na din ako ng blonde hair color dahil humuhupa na yung brunette na pinakulay ko noon. While Shai is getting her hair layered.

Tumagal kami ng ilang oras doon hanggang sa natapos na din kami.

"Ay taray bagay sayo yung blonde," she complimented my hair so i smile. She looks good in any haircut.

"Tara shopping, god si Jirah sana magandang kasama eh! Ganda ng fashion sense non." She complained but we still go to our favorite brands.

We bought some clothes and enjoy fitting them.

"Yan ganda n'yan sayo, mukha kang supermodel." I smiled at her compliment and decided to buy the dress.

We decided to try a different store naka 13 na paper bags ata kami when we decided to eat.

"Alam mo nakakainis kase si Kiel ayaw akong samahan ngayon, gagawin ka sama naming third wheel." Shai pouted before twirling her spaghetti on the fork.

"Hey, that's so rude ha." I said.

"4 years na kase di ka pa rin mag jowa?" She said. Yup it's been 4 years since me and Tyler decided to broke up and just like that I've never heard a news about him. Wala ding sinasabi si Shai.

"I'm busy handling our company, ayaw kase ni kuya." Nagkibit balikat ako.

"I think kuya Dylan has a reason naman." Shai said and i think yes he has.

Kinagabihan i cooked a dinner for myself in my condo, i didn't want to go back to our house. It's a nightmare for me pero I don't have any plans on selling it. Kuya Dylan don't want the house too, well hindi naman na s'ya dito tumira noon.

While getting ready for bed i received a call from Shai so i answered it.

"Hey," i stated.

"Na progress na daw yung tape. Nandoon na sila Jirah, you want to come?" I immediately say yes.

I change my outfit before going to the police station.

Pagdating ko doon nandoon na yung mga kaibigan ko, seems like they're just waiting fo me dahil plinay na nila yung tape.

"This is the plate number of the car, and the address sundan mo na lang."

A man stated on the video, tutok na tutok lang kami. But the voice is bothering me, it sounds familiar.

"Tyler Jan Miller is the name, he's a bad influence fo my daughter i want you to kill him."

"Noted Mr. Valdez."

"Fuck," i cursed, it's my dad! And he's talking about Tyler! But wait how is this case connected to Prince?

"A-are you sure you found that on the truck?" Shai is also confused.

"Yes ma'am and based on our investigation nadamay lang si Mr. Prince Justin Anizarto sa aksidente na yon." The police officer said.

I swear, we are all shock about that. D-dad tried to kill Tyler, kaya ba hindi s'ya nagpakita saakin nung time na yon dahil nadamay s'ya, he's in the hospital also?

Knowing Tyler maybe sinadya n'yang hindi sabihin saakin yon. He always think about me before him, and all i can do is to break up with him.

I was so guilty that night, it's all my dad fault. Hindi ko pa s'ya nadadalaw sa kulungan because of what he did to my lola, nadamay din si mommy. And now he tried to kill my boyfriend.

Tanghali na ako nagising kinabukasan, may pasok pa ako. Mabilis lang ako nagbihis at hindi na ako kumain at dumeretso na sa company.

"Clear all my meetings for today." I said to my secretary, i finished all the things i need to finish.

I want to ask my dad why he had to do all of that. I asked the police yesterday kung saan s'ya naka detained.

I look at myself on the mirror, it's been 4 years huh and now i have a guts to see him. Hindi ko s'ya nakayanan na tignan noon.

I preferred myself before driving to the exact location.

I asked where my dad is and while waiting i was really shaking. Kinakabahan na talaga ako, i still have the urge to retreat, aalis na sana ako but it was already late.

"Yuna? Yuna! Yuna anak!" Nagulat ako ng umakap saakin si daddy.

I didn't budge, naiiyak ako, he's still my dad. A tear already scape through my eyes.

Umalis s'ya sa pagkaka-akap saakin at hinawakan ako sa magkabilang balikat.

Pumayat s'ya at tumanda ang itsura.

"Ikaw na nga anak, bakit ngayon mo lang ako binisita?" He hug me again. Hindi pa rin ako gumagalaw.

Ang laki ng binagbago n'ya. Dati ay sobrang gara ng mga sinusuot n'ya, from tuxedo and branded shirts to a orange detained outfit.

"Why do you have to do all of that?"
