Chapter 24: Truth
ARCHIE SEV MARTINEZ
I really hate my father. Before, I really admired him for being the best father I've ever had. Lagi niya akong sinasamahan tuwing may laro kami nang volleyball. He also taught me at nakikipaglaro rin siya sa'kin sa backyard everytime he have some spare time.
Tuwing nananalo ako ay pinapahandaan talaga ako nina Mommy and Dad. Every year din ay ilang beses kaming umaalis ng pilipinas at pumupunta sa kahit saang bansa. Every Christmas sabay kaming tatlo nag dedecorate nang Christmas tree na binili ni Dad. We were a happy family but... akala ko lang pala 'yon.
My world was shattered the moment I realized that my family wasn't as happy as I thought it was.
I remembered all the nights when my mother would cry and I could hear my parents arguing. I had hoped that everything would get better, but it only got worse.
I felt like my house wasn't a home anymore, just a place I lived in that was filled with pain and sorrow. My heart weighed heavy with sadness and I wanted to escape from all the hurt that had surrounded me for so long.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit tuwing gabi ay nag-aaway sina Dad at Mommy ng napadpad ako sa kwarto ni Dad at hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko.
I was walking at napansin 'kong hindi nakasara nang maayos ang pinto ni Daddy. Akala ko walang tao kaya lumapit ako para isara 'to ngunit napahinto ako nang marinig ko ang boses ni Dad at may kinaka-usap ito sa kaniyang telepono.
"Boss, napadala na ho namin ang mga laman sa ibang bansa. Mamayang gabi ho namin ihahatid d'yan ang cash"
Rinig 'kong sabi nang ka-usap ni Dad at napakunot noo naman ako.
"Good. Where did you put the body?"
"Nasunog na ho namin, boss."
Hindi ko na narinig pa ang ibang pinag-uusapan nina Dad at ng kaniyang ka-usap ng biglang dumating si Vius.
"What are you doing?" Tanong niya ngunit hindi ko siya pinansin at naglakad papaalis.
Nakakunot noo pa rin ako at hindi ko maalis sa isipan ko ang pinag-uusapan nina Dad.
What was that all about? Laman? Cash? Sunog?
Oh god, it's driving me crazy.
It's 7:30 p.m now at napag-isipan 'kong pumasok sa kwarto ni Daddy. Wala siya ngayon dahil may pupuntahan daw siya.
