"Don't say that, Lo. You'll outlive me, I'm sure."

He smirked. "I won't allow you to outlive me, son. You stay here and do great things. I'm too tired trying to do just that, you know. Enough with me. Just try na mabuo kayong magkakapatid, okay?"

"I'll do what I can, Lo. Mmm?"

"Okay. You know that I trust you, right?"

I smiled at him appreciatively.

"I know, Lo."

Nagpalit ako ng damit at saka inayos ang gamit ko.

Nakakaramdam ako na kapag natapos kaming mag-usap ni Dad, I would want to go away from here as soon as possible.


When I heard the arriving cars outside our house, alam kong nandiyan na si Dad.

It also feels like that my greatest nightmare is about to happen.

Bumaba ako to see him pero sinabihan ako ng house assistant namin na dumiretso ito sa kuwarto niya to change clothes. That's why when I saw his assistant waiting outside, I took that chance to face him.

Nagulat siya nang makita niya 'ko.

I walked towards him at saka huminto when I reached his side.

"Mr, James."

He greeted me first despite of being flustered.

"Hey. How are you, Dean? I didn't have the time na kamustahin ka nang magkita tayo yesterday."

"I'm great, Sir. Thank you."

"I see," I nodded. "Well... With your loaded back account because of my Dad's tough jobs for you, somehow, you deserved it."

In that instant, Dean's face becomes blank sa if he's blocking what I'd just said. Umiwas siya ng tingin sa 'kin. If I am not mistaken, he mastered this face to hide all my Dad's illicit works.
