"How about you? Aren't you going to study?" Tanong nya habang patuloy pa ding nagsusulat at hindi man lang ako matapunan nang isang sulyap


"No...I actually forgot about it" I honestly answered, that's when she immediately stopped writing and looked at me, like I'm the most stupidest person she ever known

"You just almost got in jail because your already in your legal age Xynon, it doesn't mean that you'll stop studying too" pangangaral nya saka muling bumalik sa pagsusulat "What's your point of going to school yesterday then? Stalk your girlfriend?" Panghuhula nya.  Napalunok naman ako


"How did you know I was there yesterday?" I asked, trying to change the topic



"I told you already, I asked the lects to give me a special activity so that I could still catch up. I also asked Louiegi about the updates inside the campus, he's actually doing pretty good as a campus vice president at. Though he looks like he's barely living. Mukhang mas problemado pa kumpara sa'tin" kwento nya nang bigla ko namang maalala ang sinabi ni Tito Will laban sa pamilya namin



If my mom was a traydor, how about Dad? Lolo?... Zyrene?




"Do you know something about Dad before?" I asked out of the blue. Napahinto sya sa pagsusulat. Agad kong napansin ang gulat sa mukha nya, like she didn't expect what I've just said. Napakunot ako. "Zyrene?" I asked again


"W-what about Dad?" She nervously asked, trying to pull herself together









Sa aming dalawa, si Zyrene ang pinaka close ni Dad when it comes to responsibilities and business. Not just because she's the oldest, but also because she's the only one who's responsible, among the two of us.


Madalas silang magkasama ni Dad lalo na pag pupunta si Dad sa trabaho nya. Leaving me alone with Kier, Louie, Jeff and Wyde



Bigla ko namang naalala ang sinabi nang lalaking yun about Zyrene being poisoned by Mom...


I don't know if I have the rights to ask her about it...but I have to! I need to know the truth





"Did mom really tried to kill you?... Us?" I immediately changed the topic. Mas lalo naman syang namutla at nagulat


"H-how did you--"



"Answer me Zyrene, what really happened?" I tried to calm myself down, but I'm too eager to know the truth





Agad akong napakunot nang bigla syang tumayo at tarantang sinarado ang mga bintana at pinto ng kwarto nya bago naupo sa kama nya. Sinenyasan nya pa 'kong maupo sa tabi nya, na agad ko rin namang ginawa




"M-mom wasn't trying to kill me..." Panimula nya kaya mas lalo naman akong nalito "She was trying to kill Dad" saad nya. At some point, i suddenly felt nervous




So is it possible that she was also the one who's behind the plane crash few years ago? Coz she wants to kill Dad?? But why? What did Dad do to her??




"I was only 6 that time when I saw her putting some drug on dad's juice. Unfortunately I have no idea what it was. I tried to get a sip from Dad's juice when Dad immediately carry me and throw the glass to the floor. I was so confused that time... Not until I found out that mom was trying to kill Dad for some reason"



"The day after that... Lolo came, I woke up when I heard them shouting at the living room... That's when I saw Lolo slapped mom... I...I tried to protect her b-but...but instead...sh-she tried to kill me, i-i don't know why. I-was so confused--" I immediately hug her when her tears started to fall down




I don't know what to say... I know it's traumatizing for her, from the way she told me about it. But I just can't stand seeing her like this... I've never seen Zyrene cried like this. I can feel her pain and fear while explaining what happened, but one question remained inside of me




Why is Mom trying to kill all of us?








The next day, I wake up early in the morning to see what happened on Major Mendoza. The house was still the same, i was about to knock when i noticed that the gate was open again. I let out a deep sigh before letting myself in



Nang makapasok sa loob nang bahay ay walang bago. Everything looks natural, like nothing happened. Tumuloy na 'ko kaagad sa taas at dumiretso sa kwarto kung saan ko huling natagpuan si Major. I was a bit nervous when the door wasn't locked at all.

I was a bit amazed when I saw that everything was fine, the chair, the table and the windows are all fine. The papers and other folders are arranged like nothing happened. Mas inilibot ko pa ang paningin sa buong kwarto nang may biglang maapakang kung ano, napakunot naman ako nang makita kung ano ito





It's a flashdrive





Due to curiosity, i immediately opened the loptop on the top of Major's desk and plugged the flashdrive. Mas lalo pa akong napakunot nang mabasa ang pangalan nang isang folder


'South Border Mental Institute'

For some unknown reason, i clicked the file that showed me some important info's and medical records of the patients of the institute. I continued on scrolling when I suddenly saw a familiar image of a woman






' Name: Gracie Avanie '






I was a surprised when i saw Lezili's Mom... Although she might not be her original mother, but I still acknowledge her as her mother



It states here that she was first confined here on January 21, 2006, pero agad ding nakauwi tatlong araw ang lumipas. Her Diagnosis was generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder.



I dug deeper to find more information, my heart immediately skipped a beat when i saw the last patient
