Avenging The Past (Mafia Series #1)

Chapter 2

Nagising ako bigla dahil sa ingay sa labas, naririnig ko ang boses ni kuya Lucas at ate Lynx sa labas ng kwarto ko.

Umupo ako at napahawak sa ulo ko, did I past out? Biglang nag flash back lahat ng nangyari, muntik na akong mamatay if kuya Lucas didn't save me. A tear went out from my eyes pero pinunasan ko din agad iyon, that was traumatizing

It's already 2pm in the afternoon, bumangon ako sa higaan ko, biglang sumakit ang tiyan ko naalala ko hindi pa nga pala ako nakakakain mula kahapon.

I wear my slippers and went to my door.

"He nearly died Lucas, mom and dad would be furious if they know about this!"

"It's in the rule Lynx, there's nothing we can do, we are part of this, we know that!"

"What's the rule?" I asked.

Mukang nagulat silang dalawa sa presensya ko inulit ko ulit ang tanong ko.

"Tell me kuya, what was the rule about"

Both of them just stare at me.

"Andy, I was so worried that I drive right away here when I heard the news, buti na lang at hindi to nakarating kila dad"

   

Lumapit saakin si ate Lynx at sinuri kung mayroon ba akong galos. He touched my neck at dun ko lang napansin na nasugatan pala ako ron.

"This will leave a scar"

"So nobody's gonna answer my question" humarap ako sa kanilang dalawa, mayroon ba silang nalalaman na ayaw nilang sabihin sakin. No, they were keeping things from me since I was a kid.

Lagi na lang silang ganyan, every time I ask a question walang sumasagot, parte pa ba ako ng pamilyang to?

"Andy, you need to eat first"

I looked at kuya Lucas "Are you always gonna keep things from me? What are you related with those mens yesterday?!"

They looked shocked, I know should not raise my voice when I'm talking to them, pero kahit muntik na akong mamatay ayaw parin nilang sagutin ang mga tanong ko

"Andy, the world we are living in is too dangerous for you and we don't want you to experience things like what happened yesterday"

"Pero ate, I'm old enough stop treating me like I am the weakest one"

"Andy, enough just listen to what we say!"
Bigla na lang tumalikod si kuya at lumabas.

Inalis ko ang kamay ni ate sa likod ko at bumaba ng hagdan. Hinawakan ko ulit ang leeg ko hindi ko man lang napansin na nagkasugat pala ako dito, bumalik nanaman sa isip ko ang nangyari saakin kahapon at kung oaano ako tinutukan ng baril at kutsilyo, fuck tuwing naaalala ko iyon natatakot parin ako.

Paano pag na ulit nanaman saakin ang ganito. I sighed, dumiretso ako sa lamesa at umupo don bigla namang lumapit ang isa naming katulong saakin at nag hain sa harap ko ng pagkain.

"Kain na Andy, masarap iyan"

Tinaas ko ang tingin ko sa nagsalita, it was lola Emily siya ang pinaka matanda dito at pinaka matagal na naninilbihan dito, I missed her halos siya na ang tinuturing kong pangalawang nanay ko, tumayo agad ako and I rushed to hug her.

"Lola Ems, namiss ko po kayo sobra" I was already sobbing.

"Ano ka ba iha, hindi ka parin nag bago napaka iyakin mo padin"
