"Seah." Danna called.

Napatingin ako sa kaniya pero agad din akong nag-iwas tingin. Sobrang saya ko pa mag-kwento kanina pero ngayon, ganito na ang mararamdaman ko?

"Danna-"

"Why?"

After she said that, she pulled me out of the ice cream store and drag me to her car. "Speak now."

Ipinakita ko sa kaniya ang cellphone ko, kanina pang madaling araw ang message na 'yon. Ayon ang message na hindi ko napansin nung nasa tuktok pa kami ni Jah.

"What is this?"

"Read."

"Hey Seah I know you're with Jah now, I just found out that you really hate my family especially my sister, Mika. I badly want to know the reason why you hate us but I am pretty sure it's because of business. Wia told me about the issue you had because of my sister, I sincerely apologize on behalf of her. When the time comes we'll see each other again in our companies and I hope you can still smile on me the way you used to."

She stopped from reading and looked at me.

"Now I know why you reacted like that when I said my full name, I swear I just found out everything weeks after I came. I didn't mean to hide this to you, Seah. Hindi ko talaga alam na may malaki pa lang issue ang pamilya ko sa pamilya ninyo, lalo na sayo. Itinago ko na lang din kasi ayokong pati sa akin magalit ka at ayokong layuan mo ako. I'm sorry that I need to tell you everything here and not personally, wala lang talaga akong lakas ng loob. I'm scared you'll hate me too."

Napapikit ako dahil doon. Kung una pa lang nung nalaman niya ang lahat ng issue, humingi na siya ng sorry sa akin para sa pamilya at kapatid niya. Edi sana ayos na? I can forgive. Bakit kailangan pa nila akong paikutin.

"Wait oh my god, alam mo ba na alam din ni Wia lahat?" Danna asked.

Umiling ako. Ang alam ko lang, malapit si Wia kay Jah at Uno. Siya rin ang nag-sabi na best friends sila kaya naniwala ako doon but in reality the two are cousins.

"Wia..." She whispered.

Alam ko na disappointed sa ngayon si Danna, of course, we didn't expect that Wia will do this. Sa tagal ng pagkakaibigan namin ni Wia ngayon niya lang ako ginanito. Hindi ko alam ang pinakarason niya pero sobrang nasasaktan ako ngayon.

They hide their true personality to me just to be close to me? They fooled me.

"About Jah, he's my best friend and he is also my cousin. I don't know if Jah will tell you about this but I am sure you already knew his surname. Rodriguez right? That's not his real surname, Seah. Jah Enriquez. He's an Enriquez, he had a fight with his father before that made his life tangled. He lived alone. After college he changed his surname to Rodriguez and lived on it. Siya mismo ang nag-buhay sa sarili niya kasi ayaw na niyang umasa sa kahit na sino sa amin, you know how wealthy we are but he didn't hesitate to leave us."

"Wia and I fooled you yes, both of us are regretting but please Seah don't hate Jah. Hindi niya kailanman ipinakilala ang sarili niya bilang Enriquez kasi hindi na siya 'yon, hindi na siya nabubuhay bilang Enriquez but I know you'll think he's still an Enriquez. He hates us the way you hates us, Seah. That's the reason why Jah and I have different surnames but we're biologically cousins. I'm deeply sorry. Pag-uwi ni Jah dito, malalaman niya rin 'to. Wait for his explanation please. You can hate me forever Seah but please forgive Wia and Jah. Ako naman kasi itong natakot na sabihin yung totoo sayo, ako yung may kasalanan kung bakit din sila nadamay dito. I'm sorry. If we'll meet again I can explain further. Ingat ka sa byahe mo."

Danna looked at me. Inilapag niya ang  phone sa gilid namin.

Biglang pumatak ang luha ko. This is why I really hate myself for being so kind and understandable. Sobrang naiintindihan ko ang side nila, sobrang naiintindihan ko kung bakit nila 'yon nagawa sa akin.

Pero hindi ko pa rin kayang kalimutan ang lahat ng nagawa ng mga Enriquez sa akin at sa pamilya ko. The history of our families are just insane to think.

They did their best to drag us down. It's always the Yang and the Enriquez. Hindi yata lumipas ang isang taon na walang malaking away ang nagaganap sa pamilya namin.

Yang are known in the business. My parents climbs up to where they're now together with their sacrifices, they did everything to be on top and be famous in business field.

While these Enriquez, they're a total pieces of nothing inside the hall until Dad tried to help the elder Enriquez. Afterwards, when that Enriquez is already successful. He betrayed my father. Kinalaban niya ng kinalaban ang Daddy ko hanggang sa maging kilala na ang Yang at Enriquez bilang sikat na mga pamilya sa business field at dahil magkalaban.

Maybe betraying and fooling people are already in their blood.

No one can stop me for hating the Enriquez because all of them are just the same. Issue maker, problematic and they love betraying people.

Now that I found out Uno and Jah are Enriquez. I can't look to them the way I used to. I can't believe I let myself be close to an Enriquez.

Hindi ako makapaniwala na pati si Jah ay isang Enriquez.

Damn Enriquez's.

"Seah I know you keep on thinking but please remember they're still your friends-"

"Not now Danna. This is why I hate people, hinding-hindi mapagkakatiwalaan." Sagot ko.

"Seah please calm down, Wia is still our friend-"

"I don't know. Kahit isa sa kanila, wala na akong pinapaniwalaan. You know how high my trust issues is but because of them I forget about that, you know how happy I was when I am talking about them, how we bonded and everything. I can't believe they fooled me, Danna. Despite of the issue of our families, nagawa pa rin nilang itago sa akin 'yon? They belittle me for sure, they could've tell it to me but they didn't. I can forgive, alam ni Wia iyon pero pati siya, nagawa niyang i-tago ito sa akin."

Hindi na sumagot si Danna sa akin. Sa aming dalawa, mas madami akong karanasan sa mga Enriquez dahil ako naman palagi ang sumasama sa company, palagi akong nakakarinig ng issue tungkol sa kanila. They never stop coming to us and give us a headache. Who wouldn't hate them for being like that?

"Paano na ngayon?"

"What?"

"Hindi mo na ba sila kakausapin?"

"I hate them, all of them. I swear I won't trust other people again. I'll try my best to avoid them."

I know I can't avoid them forever but I just can't imagine myself talking to them the way I used to, they're simply traitors I don't want to interact to.

I can't believe I need to forget everything I had with them just because of this.

Jah, I believed and trusted you. I didn't know you're also like them.
