Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Reason

"Ano? Bakit? Wait, ulitin mo nga," sambit ko dahil parang nabingi yata ako sa nalaman.

Bumuga siya ng hangin sabay angat ng tingin sa akin. "I thought he killed my parents..."

"Pero bakit?" Tumingin ako sa kaniya. "Bakit mo naman 'yon inakala?"

Hindi naman magagawa 'yon ng kapatid ko. Gago lang 'yon, hindi murderer. Hindi siya marunong mag-upgrade ng gano'n.

"I was with him when my house was entered by unknown persons. Until now, I still don't know them. Pinasok ang bahay namin noong panahon na 'yon. I was from school. Maraming patay na katawan ang bumungad sa 'kin, I saw a lot of blood. We don't know what to do at that time. Darius and I helped my Dad to execute them all pero masyado silang marami. Plinano nilang pasukin ang bahay namin. We are only just four at ang lahat ng mga tauhan namin ay patay na. They made sure that our mens were all dead to proceed with their plan."

Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya, nakikinig.

"Nagkahiwalay kaming lahat, I need to make sure my siblings safety, so I left them in that mansion because that's my Mom wants. She wants to make sure our safety, but, after I sent Phoebe and Preston to Mrs. Rivera, our neighbour. Kahit na ayoko silang iwan at nagmamakaawa ang dalawang kapatid kong huwag ko silang iwan, ginawa ko pa rin because of my Mother and Father. I came back to help, but, just only a minutes.... I found out my parents d-dead bodies in the floor, naliligo silang dalawa sa sarili nilang dugo. You know how much hurt that? My parents are dead. Si Darius ang kasama nila, because your brother promised one thing to me. He'll make sure their safety..." Basag na basag ang boses niya.

Hindi ko kayang makitang umiiyak siya. Nasasaktan ako. Hindi ako sanay na makita siyang ganito. Iyong nasasaktan ng sobra dahil sa nakaraan niya.

"And you know what I saw after seeing their dead bodies? I saw your brother, standing in front of my parents and holding a gun... his hand was shaking and shocked at the same time. I don't know how I will react at the moment, all I have at that time is hatred towards him. I don't care about our friendship because of my madness. Galit na galit ako sa kaniya, Darlene. I was blinded by my madness."

Suminghap ako.

"I blamed him for everything, I blamed him for my parents' death. He denied everything I saw. My mind was closed. I couldn't believe him. Iniisip ko lang noong panahon na 'yon ay ang ginawa niya. Tito Dylan at Tita Serine came... they're shocked because of what happened."

Hindi ako makapaniwala. Bakit ganoon? Frame up ba 'yon? Hindi ko napigilan ang maiyak sa nangyari kay Darius noon at kay Phoenix.

"I've been close to your parents ever since I met them but after that night, I'll sue them away. I know they wanted to help me but I didn't let them because in my head, it was their son's fault. Kasalanan ni Darius ang lahat kung bakit sila nawala. Siya lahat ang may kasalanan. I couldn't tell my siblings that our parents are gone."

Tumayo ako para tumabi sa kaniya. "Hindi nila alam?"

Umiling siya. "No, they know that they are in another country for some reason. I couldn't tell them about this." Mahinang sagot niya, ramdam kong tumulo ang luha niya sa balikat ko. "I am the only one who fixes my parents' funeral. My Dad's family doesn't want to help. My grandmother didn't allow our other relatives to help me. It's hard... because I don't know what to do."

Grabe talaga ang pamilya ng father side nitong si Phoenix. Hindi man lang siya tinulungan noon? Tapos ngayon, gustong kunin ang yaman na naiwan ng Daddy niya, na nasa kaniya na ngayon at napalago na ng sobra.

Kapal muks naman, ah.

"I buried my parents' death alone. It's only by myself, I still don't know about Tita Grace at that time but Tita Serine really want to help. She managed my parents papers. Ayokong tanggapin ang tulong niya, but at the end of the day, I let tita Serine to do everything. Because I'm so tired. I'm so tired of everything. I'm so tired of crying. Hindi pa dumadating ang kinabuksan, iniisip ko na kaagad ang mangyayari. Hindi ako marunong mag-alaga ng bata noon. Phoebe kept asking a question about them, I can't give her an answer because I'm not ready. I stopped going to School to take care of them. My Dad's secretary helped me to find Tita and her daughter, Lala."
