ARA's POV

"Arra Stop it dont hurt your sister!!"

Napatigil si name alike sa pagsugod sakin at napalingon sa nagsalita, Kahit ako nanlaki ang mata ko--
.
"DAD?!"

"PAPA?!"
.
.
Napalingon kaming dalawa sa isat isa biglang umatras si name alike na tila nakakita ng multo, ako naman lalong uminit yung dugo ko sa nakita ko.

"Ate Natalie, w-what's g-going o-on?!"

Gulong gulong tanong ni name alike "Vicky you okay?" tanong ni ate nate sabay punas ng mga luha ko tumango naman ako.

"A-ate nate?! w-what are y-you d-doing h-here?!"

Nanginginig na tanong ni name alike kay ate nate na ngayoy nakatingin sakanya habang tinago ako sa likuran niya. "Hindi ba dapat ako ang magtanong niyan sayo?" galit na saad ni ate nate.

"Yes Arra do I need an explanation for all of these mess that you've made?"

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita, si Pap--Arturo pala ngayon ko lang siya narinig na magsalita ng ganyan ang boses punong puno ng awtoridad.

"D-dad" pag umpisa ni name alike sabay lakad palapit kay arturo "I-i w-was j-just v-visiting my o-old f-friends" sabi ni name alike sabay akmang lalapit kay arturo para hawakan siya pero---
.
.
.
*Paaak!!*
.
.
.
Nanlaki ang mata ko sa mga sumunod na nangyari napa upo si name alike sa sobrang lakas ng sampal na ginawa sakanya ni pap--arturo "Dad?!!" sabi niya habang nakahawak sa ngayoy akala mong nagmumurang kamatis na kanag bahagi ng kanyang mukha.

"Old friends?!!" sigaw ni papa ay ni arturo grabe na ang iskandalo dito sa tapat ng dorm namin buti nalang talaga walang gaanong tao "Or should I say blackmailed friends!!" sigaw ni pa--arturo kay name alike kala mo tutang kinakastigo ng amo niya.

"D-dad I-i dont k-know w-what a-are y-you t-talking about, and w-why s-should I d-do that, w-whoever said that s-she's just trying to ruin my r-reputation as your daughter"

Sabi ni name alike sabay hawak sa kamay ng dad niya pero winaksi ito ni arturo "You think Im stupid huh? You think you can make a fool out of me Arra?! I know that you sneak in to my office to check my files and to look for the name of my second family that I've been looking for and I know that you've been eavesdropping everytime that my private investigator is giving me informations and I know as well that is the main reason why you insist to transfer here in this school and I know that you spoke with mr. cheng and mr. cruz and threaten that you'll buy all of their shares in the committee and even threaten to bring them down" sabi ni arturo habang hinahabol ang hininga niya sa sobrang galit at inalalayan naman siya ng mga bodyguards niya. "N-no d-dad t-that's n-not w-what i-im--"

"Stop playing games with us sis, I've been watching you eversince you enrolled in this school" sabi ni ate nate sakanya nanlaki naman ang mata ni name alike "I know that you've been following vicky ever since the day that you saw her files at dad's office" tuloy tuloy na sabi ni ate nate.

"Nate, you knew all about this?!"

Tanong ni arturo sakanya tumango naman si ate nate "H-how c-could you let this happen?" tanong ni dad sakanya, tumingin naman si ate nate sakin sabay baling kay arturo. Saka huminga ng malalim.

"At first I thought that arra will do this to know her sister more than by just reading those files at your office everytime that she'll get a chance to sneak in" sabi ni ate nate sabay tingin sakin "Then she decided to transfer at dlsu which I'm already expecting" sabi ni ate nate sabay pause.
