Mom
Xynon's POV
* * * * * Flashback * * * * *
He let out a deep sigh
"Okay, listen up Xynon. Lexus planed this up...long time ago" panimula nya. Napakunot naman ako
What does he mean? How did tito Lexus get involved in here when he's already dead
"While continuing the research, he somehow noticed that there's something's wrong about Kiana...and your Mom." He continued which made me even more confused "I know that you've been investigating on Hilberyo right? And I know that you already found out that he was using Shawn to get Lexie and to look for the chip. Yes he's the traitor, the mastermind of all this chaos... But he can't do it all by himself, he used Kiana and your mom's weakness to convince them into working with him. Hilberyo is just an investor, so he can't have any access inside the laboratory asside from me, Kiana and your mother and father. We've been trying to look for some hard evidence that we can use against him, but we failed. So Lexus transferred all the data about the project on a piece of chip, and hid it somewhere. Then he asked me to set a fix marriage proposal for Lexie and Wyde. The main porpuse of the wedding wasn't really to get stronger...but to trap Hilberyo, that's why Lexus wanted to gave the chip to Lexie" mahabang litanya nya
Pinilit kong i sink in lahat nang detalye sa utak ko, pero masyado akong nagulat sa mga bagong impormasyong nalaman ko...
My mother was a traitor... And Lez was in dangered a long time ago, because of my family. And as long as she's with me...with my family, she will never going to be safe...
"Lexie doesn't even want to get married, Wyde and her are doing their best to find other ways to fix everything..." Dagdag nya pa dahilan para mapalunok ako at makaramdam nang pinaghalong tungkot at tuwa "But now that I've get both of your sides...I get it... No matter how badly i want Lex for Wyde,as long as you both love each other. And Wyde loves another girl...none of this will work. So I'm going to ask you a favor...but this time, it'll be different" Saad nya dahilan para biglang bumilis ang tibok nang puso ko at mapalitan nang di maipaliwanag na kaba
"I know this isn't what Lexus and Elena wished, but I think I could make an exception...it'll be a fake marriage, but it still needs to be realistic...so I'm going to ask you one favor... convince Lexie to marry Wyde, without both of them knowing about our plan. This must be only for the two of us"
"But why? What for? Why are you telling all of this to me? My family are you're enemy" I asked, still confused
"Co'z aside from your family, you're the only Ravena that i know i could trust... You proved that by loving and protecting Lex no matter how hard it is for you, for both of you " he answered "So hang on, co'z we'll end this nightmare once and for all" he encouragingly said

"What are you doing?" I asked Zyrene who's currently taking down notes
It's already 9 o'clock in the the evening when I decided to talk to Zyrene, when I found her busy taking down some notes and highlighting on her book
"Studying. Finals na sa Monday, binigyan naman ako nang special project nang mga Lects para makahabol. I'll submit everything after the exam" sagot nya
Fvck! I almost forgot I'm still studying!
I could also ask for an extra curricular activities like Zyrene to be able to pass this sem, but I don't know if I still have time. I don't even know if I'll still be alive after all of this
"How about you? Aren't you going to study?" Tanong nya habang patuloy pa ding nagsusulat at hindi man lang ako matapunan nang isang sulyap
"No...I actually forgot about it" I honestly answered, that's when she immediately stopped writing and looked at me, like I'm the most stupidest person she ever known
"You just almost got in jail because your already in your legal age Xynon, it doesn't mean that you'll stop studying too" pangangaral nya saka muling bumalik sa pagsusulat "What's your point of going to school yesterday then? Stalk your girlfriend?" Panghuhula nya. Napalunok naman ako
"How did you know I was there yesterday?" I asked, trying to change the topic
"I told you already, I asked the lects to give me a special activity so that I could still catch up. I also asked Louiegi about the updates inside the campus, he's actually doing pretty good as a campus vice president at. Though he looks like he's barely living. Mukhang mas problemado pa kumpara sa'tin" kwento nya nang bigla ko namang maalala ang sinabi ni Tito Will laban sa pamilya namin
If my mom was a traydor, how about Dad? Lolo?... Zyrene?
"Do you know something about Dad before?" I asked out of the blue. Napahinto sya sa pagsusulat. Agad kong napansin ang gulat sa mukha nya, like she didn't expect what I've just said. Napakunot ako. "Zyrene?" I asked again
"W-what about Dad?" She nervously asked, trying to pull herself together
Sa aming dalawa, si Zyrene ang pinaka close ni Dad when it comes to responsibilities and business. Not just because she's the oldest, but also because she's the only one who's responsible, among the two of us.
Madalas silang magkasama ni Dad lalo na pag pupunta si Dad sa trabaho nya. Leaving me alone with Kier, Louie, Jeff and Wyde
Bigla ko namang naalala ang sinabi nang lalaking yun about Zyrene being poisoned by Mom...
I don't know if I have the rights to ask her about it...but I have to! I need to know the truth
"Did mom really tried to kill you?... Us?" I immediately changed the topic. Mas lalo naman syang namutla at nagulat
"H-how did you--"
"Answer me Zyrene, what really happened?" I tried to calm myself down, but I'm too eager to know the truth
Agad akong napakunot nang bigla syang tumayo at tarantang sinarado ang mga bintana at pinto ng kwarto nya bago naupo sa kama nya. Sinenyasan nya pa 'kong maupo sa tabi nya, na agad ko rin namang ginawa
"M-mom wasn't trying to kill me..." Panimula nya kaya mas lalo naman akong nalito "She was trying to kill Dad" saad nya. At some point, i suddenly felt nervous
So is it possible that she was also the one who's behind the plane crash few years ago? Coz she wants to kill Dad?? But why? What did Dad do to her??
"I was only 6 that time when I saw her putting some drug on dad's juice. Unfortunately I have no idea what it was. I tried to get a sip from Dad's juice when Dad immediately carry me and throw the glass to the floor. I was so confused that time... Not until I found out that mom was trying to kill Dad for some reason"
"The day after that... Lolo came, I woke up when I heard them shouting at the living room... That's when I saw Lolo slapped mom... I...I tried to protect her b-but...but instead...sh-she tried to kill me, i-i don't know why. I-was so confused--" I immediately hug her when her tears started to fall down
I don't know what to say... I know it's traumatizing for her, from the way she told me about it. But I just can't stand seeing her like this... I've never seen Zyrene cried like this. I can feel her pain and fear while explaining what happened, but one question remained inside of me
Why is Mom trying to kill all of us?
The next day, I wake up early in the morning to see what happened on Major Mendoza. The house was still the same, i was about to knock when i noticed that the gate was open again. I let out a deep sigh before letting myself in
Nang makapasok sa loob nang bahay ay walang bago. Everything looks natural, like nothing happened. Tumuloy na 'ko kaagad sa taas at dumiretso sa kwarto kung saan ko huling natagpuan si Major. I was a bit nervous when the door wasn't locked at all.
I was a bit amazed when I saw that everything was fine, the chair, the table and the windows are all fine. The papers and other folders are arranged like nothing happened. Mas inilibot ko pa ang paningin sa buong kwarto nang may biglang maapakang kung ano, napakunot naman ako nang makita kung ano ito
It's a flashdrive
Due to curiosity, i immediately opened the loptop on the top of Major's desk and plugged the flashdrive. Mas lalo pa akong napakunot nang mabasa ang pangalan nang isang folder
'South Border Mental Institute'
For some unknown reason, i clicked the file that showed me some important info's and medical records of the patients of the institute. I continued on scrolling when I suddenly saw a familiar image of a woman
' Name: Gracie Avanie '
I was a surprised when i saw Lezili's Mom... Although she might not be her original mother, but I still acknowledge her as her mother
It states here that she was first confined here on January 21, 2006, pero agad ding nakauwi tatlong araw ang lumipas. Her Diagnosis was generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder.
I dug deeper to find more information, my heart immediately skipped a beat when i saw the last patient
