Ex-Wife's Revenge

✔ Thirteenth Chapter

"It was all part of my plan."

Everyone at this room were surprise at Sian's statement. Everyone but me and itay Tino.

"You mean.." the doctor started to say and Sian already nodded.

Nakatingin pa din si Ninong Seb sa anak niya na para itong multo. "Papa, stop staring at me like that," ilang na sabi ni dear. "You said that you wanted me dead, remember? I just granted that for you-that's how much I love you. Haha!"

"I-I didn't mean it Siancess, I-I'm so sorry," saad naman ni Ninong.

"Aw, papa, I did this act with dear's and itay Tino's knowledge because I want to set you free from your burden. I already know that you are blaming yourself and that you were just venting them all to me, so I did what I had to do," kumibit-balikat ito. "You want me dead? So I gave you my death."

"Unbelievable," we heard the doctor muttered while sighing.

Ninong Seb was going to talk but Sian's smile stopped him. "I heard all of them, papa. I was in 'coma' not deaf. And I already forgive you for everything. Gusto ko lang po na ma-realize niyo ang mga bagay na meron na kayo at mga bagay na wala na po sa inyo," paliwanag niya.

Tahimik lang kami ni itay Tino na nakikinig at nanunuod. We both knew dear's plan about her so-called death, and what we did and acted were all just an act. Impromptu nga lang 'yung mga sinabi namin, hindi scripted.

Nagyakapan ang mag-ama as a reconciliation. Panay ang 'sorry' ni Ninong Seb kay Sian na tinutugon naman niya ng, 'It's okay, papa.'

Nang magkapatawaran ang mag-ama, nagpatuloy na kaming lahat sa pagkain. Doctor Xian went away for a couple of minutes and came back again to join us.

"So mang Tino," panimula ni Ninong. "What did you find out about?"

Tumikhim si itay saka sinimulang sabihin ang nalaman niya. "Kaming dalawa ni Si ay hinahanap ang totoong nangyari kay..." tumingin si itay kay ninong and we all understood that itay was talking about that incident. The incident when Ninong Seb's son was taken by a couple of robbers.

Tumango si ninong Seb. "Go on mang Tino," he encouraged while the rest of us are waiting patiently.

"Napagalaman ko na ang Travis family ang may pakana ng pagdukot sa anak niyo ho, sir. Nalaman ko na pinadukot ng mga Travis ang nag-iisa niyong anak na lalaki para makakuha ng malaking pera galing sa inyo. At dahil na rin sa panganay ninyo siya, mas malaki ang halaga niya dahil siya ang magmamana ng mga ari-arian ng Krauss family," pagkukwento ni itay.

I saw ninong Seb clenched his hands into fists. Sian's face was in shocked and starting to clench her fists, too. I remained quiet but my hatred for that family is gaining every minute. As I look to doctor Xian's direction, though, I was confused.

Bakit mukha siyang galit? Bakit para siyang nagagalit talaga? At teka nga, bakit ako concern?

I immediately turned my head back to itay Tino when doctor Xian's eyes met my curious gaze.

"Continue please," ninong said, clenching his teeth.

Itay sighed deeply before continuing. "Nang matawagan na nila tayo noong gabing 'yon, wala talaga silang balak na ibalik siya. Ang balak nila ay kuhain ang pera at pagmumukhaing hindi pa sapat ang binigay ninyo noon, sir. At dahil na rin na pag lumaki na talaga ang panganay ninyo ay siya ang mamamahala ng inyong kompanya, hindi nila gustong mangyari iyon. Ito ay dahil mas mawawalan ng pera ang kompanya ng mga Travis."
