[MAV's POV]
"Just start kung saan ka lang komportable, but don't skip or leave any. I still wanna know everything."
Nakangiti nyang sabi habang inaayos na yung mga ingredient for the pancake, bacon and eggs.
Nanatili akong nakatayo sa tabi nya, may sapat na espasyo para makagalaw at makapagluto sya ng maayos.
[flashback]
"Walang hiya ka! Nagdr-drugs ka?" I was pinning Callum against his car after Gab and Cole told me about what they've discovered.
"Hi-hindi, Mav. I would never do that. I'm just following my Dad's order." I let him go so he can explain more.
I was still wearing my taekwondo uniform, I literally came right after my match.
"Look, sawang-sawa na kasi ako, Mav. Pagod na pagod na akong kalabanin si Dad. I'm just doing some change, Mav. I want to understand Dad, I want to stay on his side, nadadamay na kasi si Mommy sa pananakit nya kapag di ako sumusunod sa gusto nya. Please let me do this."
Umiling lang ako dahil disappointed pa rin ako sa ginawa nya. "Excuses, Cal. Alam mo namang mali, susundin mo pa din! Don't do it here at school, do it somewhere else.
Palalagpasin ko yan ngayon, Cal. Pero pag pulis na ko at mahuli kita ulit, pasensyahan tayo. And mind you, kapag may mangyaring masama kay Alli malilintikan ka sakin! Naiintindihan mo?!" He was just listening silently to everything I said.
"From now on, record your every transaction, that's for your own protection someday. And call me everytime na magkasama kayo ni Alli. " I continued.
Sumagot na si Cal: "I won't put her in danger, Mav."
"I know, but I don't trust drugs and what you're doing."
He gulped and just nodded.
[Fast Forward - Reunion]
"Mav, I invited Alli here sa tagaytay to our family reunion. I'll message you na lang the exact address. And Mav, baka last ko ng tawag to sayo ha? Nahuli na ko ni Dad na nagrerecord ng transaction. Hmmm Mav, I'm not certain, but I think Dad is planning something to blackmail Mr. Arceta.
He wants a share from their Company. Don't worry I'll protect Alli here, but I will talk to her later to call you if something bad happen. Bye!"
Di na ko nakapagtanong pa dahil mukhang nagmamadali si Callum. Agad kong natanggap yung text nya indicating the exact address.
On that same day, I have collected strong evidences against Mr. Caleb about Drug smuggling, fraud and Domestic violence.
I reported him right away dahil gusto kong tulungan si Cal na mamuhay ng malayo at malaya sa tatay nya.
But little did I know, he has connection with the higher ups. They told me they will turn a blind eye for my own sake and they will give me another chance.
I think it's because of Tito kaya maluwag at mabait sila sakin.
So, they assigned me to a different case instead.
At first, I realized kaya nya ko pinag-aral ng crim para maging tuta nya sa loob. It turned out, dagdag nya lang pala ko sa kampon nya. Natuwa sya dahil pinagbigyan ko si Cal nung College.
He thought I'm on his side, kaya nung nalaman nya yung ginawa ko, he felt betrayed kaya galit na galit sya sakin.
He found out you are my friend so he thought he's plan is going so well. By kidnapping you, hindi nya lang maba-blackmail Dad mo, makakaganti din sya sakin.
