Beauty In His Eyes (Beauty Series #2) [COMPLETED]

"What is it?" Tanong ni Mona.

"It's about your father."

Napaupo si Mona at napangiti. "Bakit mommy? Is he coming home na? Kailan daw?"

Her mom stood there feeling so uneasy. Feeling so uncomfortable. She looked uncomfortable on saying what she want.

"Tell me."

"Naaksidente ang papa mo." Napayuko siya, her tears formed and fell.

"P-Po?" She started trembling.

"He's dead."

Nang marinig niya ang sinabi ng kaniyang mommy ay hindi na siya makagalaw sa kaniyang kinauupuan. Napahawak na siya sa upuan niya. She started trembling.

"M-Mona." Hinawakan ng mommy niya ang braso ni Mona.

"No, hindi yan totoo mommy. P-Paano siya namatay eh lagi niya akong pinapadalhan ng makeups tuwing birthday ko?"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before."

"Before?" She asked. "B-Before? You mean...he's long dead?"

"Matagal ng patay ang tatay mo. Pinilit ko siyang itago sainyo ni Gab kasi ayaw kong mapanghinaan ka ng loob. Ayaw kong malungkot si Gab lalo na't malapit na siyang magtagumpay. Pagkahiwalay namin ay nagpunta siya ng America. Hindi siya tumagal ng isang buwan doon. He got into an accident after."

"Why now mommy? If he is dead then why didn't you tell us sooner?" She asked. "Taon-taon akong nakakatanggap ng mga regalo mula sa pangalan niya. Hindi ba 'to alam nina ate Shane? Nina tito?" She asked.

"Kami-kami lang ng tito mo ang nakakaalam. Hindi alam ni Shane." Sagot ng mommy niya.

"Bakit ngayon lang mommy? You had all the time to tell me about this. To tell kuya. Bakit ngayon lang mommy? It doesn't make any sense."

"I have to tell you about his past to help me on what's happening on his properties now." Sabi ng mommy niya.

"Hiwalay na kayo mommy, isn't his property his?" She asked.

"Tinawagan ako ng abogado niya. Ngayon ko lang din nalaman na may iniwan siyang pera para sainyo ni Gab. Hindi niya naibigay sa inyo noon bago pa kami maghiwalay dahil may problema daw. Someone's threatening his lawyer about his money. May nakatuklas daw ng mga pag-aari ng tatay mo na nasa abogado niya. Tinawagan niya ako para ipaalam na may itinago siyang ganito. All of his property including the one's in America are named to you. Some of it belongs to your brother."

"I don't need the materials. I wanted my father back. And I could've made a way if you told me about this earlier. I blame myself for not doing a move. You always say he is alright and I believed you. Mom, I am your daughter. Gab is your son, how could you keep this from us? We were both hoping for dad to come home to even atleast see him or hug him. To tell him that we love him. I made myself believe that he will come home. For 4 years he didn't. Tapos malalaman ko na matagal na pala siyang patay? It doesn't make any sense on why you would keep this from us."

"Alam ko anak. I'm so sorry. Patawarin mo ako." sabi niya.

"I need to breathe mom."

Napag-isa siya sa kwarto. Not wanting to do anything. May mga naka-pending pang video na ieedit niya, pero hindi niya ginawa. She had the time to think.

Maraming beses na siyang nagsesend ng email tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa kaniya. Inakala niyang nakikita niya ito. Kahit hindi sagutin basta makita lang ang sinend na email masaya na si Mona. Pero nalungkot siya ng lubusan ng malaman niyang nagsesend lang siya para sa wala. Inasahan niyang sa paraan ng vlogging ay mapapanood siya ng kaniyang ama. She was full of hope that her dad will see even her vlogs. That was one of her reasons.
