Her Greatest Downfall

Chapter 35: Atty. Ram Sandoval

The priest starts saying a word and all I could do is to cry. The scenario was pretty familiar because it just damn happened weeks ago!

"I already file a case, Ace. After this, makukuha din natin ang hustisya." Kuya Archee whispered.

By that, I feel kinda relieve.

"There's no witness, Renz." Someone said on my back. I look at my back and I am surprised when I saw Ram. He was wearing a black shirt and a black pants.

I glared at Ram and when I did that, the jolt of pain envading my system again. Bakit ba ako napapalibutan ng sakit?

"I-I'm sorry." I heard Ram's voice before he left. He maybe knew that I don't wanna feel his presence so he ditanced himself.

I cried out loud when the session was done and I am now looking on my dad's grave when the lift starts going down.

I kissed the white flower before I threw it on my dad's coffin. I promise myself that I am going to find the culprit.

Kuya Archee hug me when they starts burying my dad's coffin.
When it dones, I heard so many condolences again but I don't entertain them. I don't fucking need their condolences, it won't make my parents alive.!

When the people left, I told my brother to left me there for a minute. I talk to my parents grave.

I look on my mother's grave and my dad's grave and read their name on the stone tablet.

I cried silently and made a wish for their happiness on their second life.

"Mom, Dad. Please guide us. I feel so hurt right now. Bakit nyo ako iniwan? Hindi ko pa kaya mag-isa e! I'm still a crybaby! I still need a presence of a parents. All my life, I've been so selfish to think all about myself not even including both of your thoughts. I've been a hardheaded woman because I was craving for the attention, mom and dad but it seems like I can't have it anymore. I feel so sad and devastated, mom and dad. Alam kong para saaking lahat! Alam ko na kaya nyo ako pinadala sa probinsya dahil alam nyong nanganganib ang buhay nyo! Pero bakit hindi nyo man lang sinabi? I can stay naman sa tabi nyo because I cared! I love the both of you so please guide me as well as my brother Archee. Guide us mom, dad. I love you and I promised that we'll gonna find a justice. I love the both of you and you both now rest in peace."

"Done?"

I wipe off my tears and nod to Lana who's been on my side.

Umuwi na kami pagkatapos at pilit ako ni kuya na magpahinga muna.

"Rest first, Ace. Ako na bahala sa lahat." Kuya assured his words.

"No. I wanna go to!"

He said that he's going to meet our lawyer but he refuse to go with me.

"Bukas, isasama kita. Just please rest and eat. Can you do that right? Take care of yourself para may lakas ka pag inaccept ng korte ang appeal natin." He said.

Hindi na ako nakipagtalo dahil pagod na din ako. Sumang-ayon ako at saka pumunta saaking kwarto para magpahinga.

"You should eat first." Lana handed a tray of food and place it on my bed.

I nod and eat a little since I still have no appetite, I just need to eat because I need an energy for tomorrow.

"Ubusin mo na." Lana said

"Busog na ako." Sagot ko kahit ang totoo ay tatlong subo lamang ang ginawa ko. Uminom lamang ako ng tubig at saka iyon binalik sa tray.

"Thankyou."
