Ash cooked sinigang for dinner
We're enjoying the food when a news suddenly caught my attention
"The on-going trial for Senator Christopher Fidel..." rinig ko sa news na magpalambot sakin kaya nabitawan ko yung spoon and fork ko
May mga ibang senator pa na nabanggit but what matters to me is my dad
Everyone is expecting na huhulihin yung mga nabanggit sooner or later
Bakit wala akong alam? Bakit walang sinasabi sakin sila daddy?
"Ash gusto ko umuwi" sabi ko tsaka nya ako nilapitan para yakapin
"Dont cry na, pupunta tayo sa inyo ok?" Pagpapatahan nya sakin
Hindi na kami nakapagbihis dahil nagpapadali ako umalis
Pagdating sa bahay ang daming press sa labas but Ash managed to drive papasok ng gate
A lot of securities are around the house and I saw them at the living room
Tumakbo agad ako kay daddy and hugged him
"Anak, di ka na dapat pumunta dito" sabi ni daddy habang niyayakap ako
"Bakit di mo ko sinabihan? Nagulat nalang ako sa balita" I told him and I'm crying now
Ash was there by myside trying to make me stop crying
"I dont want my princesses to worry about daddy" sabi nya samin nila ali na umiiyak na din
"Dad wala ka namang ginawang mali diba?" Tanong ko sa kanya
He wiped my tear and nod while smiling
"Believe me, I will never do such thing. I wont let you enjoy things dahil lang sa may naagrabyado akong iba. Ayoko kayo buhayin sa perang ninakaw ko galing sa bayan. It's just that most of them play dirty, and I became their victim. Pero kahit ano mangyari, trust me, I always think of you, our family before I do anything. Trust me on this, justice will be given someday. A lot may not believe me but reality is, hanggat may mapanglamang sa taas lalong mangangawawa ang mga nasa baba." Sabi ni daddy samin
"Oh wag na kayo umiyak" sita ni daddy nung lumalakas na iyak naming apat
I can see tita glads on the side trying to stop her tears
Dad gave us a group hug
"I love you my princesses" sabi nya bago kami isa isang hinalikan sa noo
"Daddy will be gone for a while ok? Take care of mommy for me" bilin nya tsaka sya nilapitan ni tita ang hugged him
Tita's hiding her face in dads chest
"We still have the rest of the evening together, wag na kayo malungkot. Uuwi din naman ako" sabi nya kaya lalo lang kami naiyak
"No Cris, we can still go. Magtatago tayo sa province namin, sa Samar" sabi ni tita Glads
"Mahal, hindi na. Wala akong ginawang masama kaya lalabas din ang totoo, magtiwala lang tayo sa diyos. Let's believe that Justice will prevail" sagot nya and I can see that he's faking a smile
During that night sama sama kami sa kwarto nila natulog
Magkakatabi kami sa kama habang si Ash sa kwarto ko natulog
Kinaumagahan nagayos na kami kasi kukunin na daw si daddy
"Dad, uuwi ka agad ha" sabi ko sa kanya and he nod
"Paguwi ko its also a celebrstion na hindi na bulok ang justice system natin. There is no longer someone above the law anak." Sabi nya tsaka ko sya niyakap
