I hate this feeling. Kakagising ko lang ay nasusuka na ako. Hindi pa ba nakaka adjust ang tiyan ko sa mga pagkain na kinakain ko? This has been going on for how many days already. Kung hindi naman nasusuka ay nahihilo ako minsan lalo na't sobrang stress ako sa mga paper works sa office.

I grabbed the towel hanging on the towel rack. Pinunasan ko ang bibig ko pagkatapos kong sumuka. It's my day-off today but I still need to get up early to prepare myself.

Ngayon ay ang itinakdang araw para sa pagpipirma ng annulment papers. I called the law firm who sent me the invitation a few days ago and asked them if Kyle will be there when I sign the papers. Sinabi naman nila ay pupunta raw si Kyle.

When I finished reading the whole journal, naisipan kong kausapin muna si Kyle sa araw na magkikita kami sa law firm. I want to show him Dad's journal and let him read it. I don't want to sign the annulment papers without hearing his thoughts about the journal.

Parang kinukwento ni Daddy sa journal ang mga nangyari noong gabing nakita niyang namatay ang mga magulang ni Kyle. He was terrified to tell the truth because he was black mailed.

Doon ay ikinuwento niya ang lahat lahat. There was a business conference in Baguio and Dad was one of the attendees of that conference. Naroon din ang mag asawang Ponferrada. Daddy and Isabela Ponferrada were friends back then because they attended the same school when they were still in high school. Lahat ng guests para sa conference na iyon ay naka booked sa iisang hotel. My Dad and the Ponferrada's can be considered as colleagues that time.

One late night, Daddy heard weird noises outside his room. Two rooms away from Dad's room ay ang kwarto na tinutulugan ng mga Ponferrada. Biglang napatayo galing sa pagkakahiga si Daddy nang marinig niya ang sigaw ng isang babae.

Daddy went out of his room to check where the noise is coming from. Tumakbo siya papunta roon sa kwarto kung saan nagmumula ang ingay. He doesn't want to interrupt but his eyes went shot when he heard the gun shots. He slammed the door open and he saw Jino holding a gun pointed to Angelito Ponferrada.

Nakahandusay na sa sahig ang patay na katawan ni Isabela ngunit si Angelo ay duguan at naghihingalo pang nakahiga habang naghihintay sa susunod na pagputok ng baril.

Daddy tried to stop Jino at inagaw ang baril bago pa man maipaputok ito pero malakas na naitulak sa sahig si Daddy. Jino pulled the trigger immediately and Angelo received the bullet shot that caused his death.

Daddy got terrified when he saw Jino pointing the gun to him. Akala niya ay siya na ang isusunod pero hindi ikinasa ni Jino ang baril. Imbes na patayin niya si Daddy ay pinagbantaan niya itong huwag sasabihin kahit kanino ang lahat ng mga nasaksihan niya. He black mailed Daddy that he will kill him including me and Mommy once the story leaked to the public and to the police.

Of course, pumayag si Daddy. Little did he know, magiging major suspect pala siya sa krimen na hindi naman niya ginawa.

I felt sorry for Daddy. He died carrying the whole truth. It was a burden for him and there was no one with him to carry on all these problems.

Ngayon ay alam ko na ang lahat, umusbong ang galit sa aking puso para kay Jino Ponferrada. Damn him for threatening our lives! Kaya pala ay iba ang mga tingin na binibigay niya sa akin noong nagkita kami sa isang event. He knows I am David's daughter.

If only I have known that he's a traitor and a criminal, ako na mismo ang tatawag ng pulis! Walang kapatawaran ang ginawa niya. Sinira niya ang buhay ni Kyle at ni Daddy and I can't forgive him for that.
