The Girl in Worst Section (Completed)

Chapter 88

"If you all can't sleep because of her words, then you must know the truth if he's dead or not," si Lolo. "And about what you said that Almendral was dead and it was your father's fault, why did he died?" Tanong ni Lolo kay Phoenix.

"Yes, he entered my house and did his plan. I found out that he wants to get my mother, that's why he did that," casual na sagot ni Phoenix. "Even if he's dead, I still feel madness towards him."

Sino'ng hindi, 'di ba?

"We just feel the same," sagot ni Lolo. "I know him a lot. His father is one of my closest friends and yet betrayed me. He tried to kill me, but your grandfather did it to him first."

Wait, matagal nang kilala ng pamilya ni Phoenix ang pamilya namin? I mean sa paraan kasi nang pagsabi ni Lolo parang matagal na talaga, e. Pero kung totoo nga bakit hindi nila sinabi sa akin na matagal na palang kilala ng family namin sila Phoenix? Kaasar naman, dapat pala talaga matagal na kaming nag-kita kaso nauudlot.

"Ano ang ibig mong sabihin? Pwedeng paki-detail?" Request ko kay Lolo.

I need an answer.

"Well, the Velasquez and Miranda Family were one of the closest families back then."

"Oh? Hindi nga?" tanong ko.

"It's true, Darlene. But, I want to start on how Velasquez and Miranda became friends..." si Lolo.

"Ano ba 'yan, 'yong pinakagitna na dapat-aray!" Pinisil ni Phoenix ang pisngi ko.

"Quiet," saway niya.

"Sige na nga sabihin mo na para malaman ko-namin," sabi ko, gusto ko na kasi talagang malaman. "Pahingi pong popcorn! Palagyan rin ng cheese, ah?!" Sumunod naman ang maid. "So, paano nga nagsimula?"

Sa akin dapat ang popcorn kaso kinuha ni Darius matapos malapag ng maid sa lamesa. Inunahan ako ng gago. Masama tuloy ang tingin ko sa kaniya habang kumakain naman siya, kasalo niya pa sina Gianna.

Napairap ako sa kanila bago tumingin kay Lolo dahil nagsalita na siya.

"Philip is the one who saved my life, Phoenix grandfather. Almendral's Dad betrayed me. Well, Almendral's Dad is full of hatred, jealousy, and insecurities in life. At first, he's kind... he's always kind to everyone, not until I build an organization."

Siya ang nagbuo? May sarili siya? May sarili rin kasing ogranization sina Papa.

"This organization is different from a Black Forum," pagklaro niya.

Oh, nabasa siguro ni Lolo ang nasa isip ko kaya kinlaro niya.

"Like what I've said earlier... I built an organization. It was a successful organization. He's always with me. Yes, we both had enemies, but we handled that because we're helping each other's hand. We got each other's back. Our life was happy even if problems came to our lives. But I guess that friendship will really end. Because I found out that he has plans towards me. I didn't know that his life was full of jealousy and hatred towards me."

"Jealousy... Jealousy..." Mahinang kanta ko. "Starting following me..."

"I know the reason why he felt that way. Everyone always sees me but not him. I didn't know that he hates me a lot. He's good at acting, I didn't know that he had a game. He's playing behind my back."

Kawawa naman pala si Lolo.

"Sakit siguro no'n?" Napatingin ang mga ugok sa akin.

"Alin ang masakit?" Tanong ni Gianna. "'Yong may hatred sa 'yo 'yong tao?"
