Beautiful Disaster

Prolouge

I am the Jacob Rye Lucre

Isa.. Dalawa.. tatlo..

Bawat hakbang niya ay siyang pag andar ko ng sasakyan. Yes, I've been following her for weeks now, mula ng malaman ko ang tungkol sa kanya, I am decided to go with my plan, hindi siya mahirap hanapin, at sa tingin ko, magiging madali ang lahat ng ito.

"Tasha Elizabeth Ricio. Your father sponsored her in the University. He's also providing her allowances, a car and.. Also the condo where she's living in right now."

Umigting ang aking panga, pinili  kong maging kalmado habang nakikinig, Pero sa ilalim ng lamesa ay nakakuyom na ang dalawa kong mga kamay.

Every information leads mo to hate my father more! Paano niya nagawa to?  Ma and Pa always fight, to the point i got used to it, to think that, it is not normal if they did not got fight in a day.

Habang tumatagal ay alam kong unti-unting nasisira ang aming pamilya. We have a lot of money but, hindi nito kayang buuin ang pamilya namin.

I guess it's true.. Money can't buy us happiness huh..

"But you told me, dad started seeing this Noemi Garland, right after mom died?"

Tumango si Jules bilang sagot sa aking tanong. She is my Father's secretary.

"She is Noemi Garland's niece."Dagdag niya.

Naguguluhan ang utak ko, Jules also told me that this Noemi Garland living in a small town with her husband at wala siyang anak.

"Then why would she give Tasha Elizabeth Ricio such privileges kung pwede naman siya ang makinabang?"

Pagod siyang nagkibit balikat "I don't know Jacob, your father's gonna kill me for this"

Alam kong naiipit ko na siya between her loyalty with my father and her realtionship with me as a friend. At hindi madali para sakanya ibigay sa akin ang mga impormasyon na iyon.

There's still a lot of questions in my head. Hindi kayang sagutin ni Jules, ni Papa. At lalong hindi kaya sagutin ito ng mistress niya!

That's why I'm here, Tatlong taon mula ng mamatay si mommy, at nakita ko ang hirap niya, nag-sasama kami sa iisang bahay, but the truth is, our family is dysfunctional.

Because of my father's number of women.

I'll never forget how devastated my mom was. And I hate my father for that!

I respected my dad, I like the way he raised me, pero ng mag-simula ang problema at madalas ang away nila ni Mama ay unti-unting lumayo ang loob ko sakanya, at tuluyan ng nauwi sa galit when my Mom died.

Nag-uusap parin kami, pero I am very distant. He's the constant reminder of my Mom's pain.

"I want you to understand everything son. I wish I could tell you everything" Nanghihina niyang sabi in the middle of our huge fight.

"Trust me Pa, I understand all of these more than you do! Sinira mo ang pamilya natin right in front of my face! Wala kang pakialam kung masaktan si Mama o ako!" Umiling ako bago tapusin ang usapan namin.
