Ken's POV
Nang-hina ako sa mga narinig ko. Hindi ako makapaniwala na planado ng isang tao ang lahat, isang taong gusto akong patayin kasi hindi niya ako gusto para sa anak niya. At ang taong iyun ay ang ama ng taong mahal na mahal ko.
At hindi lang iyun, dinamay niya rin ang mga kaibigan ko at ibang tao para lang sa mga dahilan niya. Ayaw niyang masaktan ang anak niya pero dahil sa mga ginawa niya ay dinurog niya rin ang puso nito. At ang pinakamalala, ako pa ang ginamit niya.
I looked at Chandler. He must be so heartbroken and I can't even do something to comfort him. The fact is I've hurt him too. I hid so many things from him.
Is there something that's worse than this?
My ears released steam when I hear Mr. Emerson's voice again. "Long time no see guys." He greeted to the two men on the ground. The armed men smoothly acted and tied the newcomers.
Who are they? Why were they abducted too? Do they play a part in his craziness?
"I already did my part, Chadwick. Bakit pa ako nandito?" Tanong ng doktor. Gusto ko magalit, pero alam kong tinakot lang siya ng walang pusong tao na ito.
"Yes, I know that. That's why you can be in peace now." He assured and pointed his gun at Dr. Bry's forehead. The guy trembled and so are we.
"Look at the funny expression in your faces. I'll do the killing later, don't worry." He laughed. Then, I closed my eyes and shivered in fear when he pointed the gun at me.
"No!" Chandler shouted.
"Enough of your evilness, Chadwick!" The guy besides my doctor ordered. "Hindi pa ba sapat 'yung ginawa mo sa amin dati--" He was interrupted by the deafening sound of the gun.
I checked my body and felt a sudden pain in my foot. Na-daplis-an ang gilid ng kaliwang paa ko.
"Ken, ayos ka lang?" Tanong ni Yejenia ng may pag-a-alala. "This is all my fault. Kung nalaman ko agad 'yun, 'e 'di sana wala tayo rito. This is my fault."
"Daplis lang ito, wala ito. Wala ka ring kasalanan, 'di mo alam 'yun. Don't blame yourself. Mr. Chadwick's the one who's to blame."
She bursted into tears, "I am still sorry. Look at Thad, he was beaten up." I looked at Thad--my friend is unconscious. Blood gushing out of his nose and mouth. I am to blame honestly, because of me, they got involved in this.
"Hey, listen. Stop being sorry. Just remain silent. I don't want you to die." She didn't answer and just continued to wail.
I avoided looking at Chandler, I don't have the courage to see his expression. It's tearing my heart apart. Plus, I know his dad will reveal my secret and he will no longer be soft towards me, he'll hate me.
"Kailan man ay hindi magiging sapat iyun! You're still alive you see! After what you had done to our relationship!" Bellowed Mr. Chadwick. His eyes are red, and the gun is pointing at the guy.
The guy didn't tremble this time, and bravely looked at Mr. Chadwick's eyes. "We were just childhood friends! We didn't do anything against you. Your wife loved you with all her heart. She treated me as a friend, and so am I."
"Lies!"
Nobody seemed like to interfere because one hit of the gun, and Mr. Chadwick's anger, you'll die. I couldn't resist and looked at Chandler. His attention is at the two guys, tears streaming down from his eyes. The topic of his mother hurts him. But who is really that guy? He said he's the childhood friend of Chandler's mother? And what does he know?
"I tell no lie. You were just so obsessed with her. She tried her best to understand you but what did you do? If your children only knew, they will be very heartbroken."
"She had an affair with you! You were my friend too but you stole my wife from me!"
The guy glared at him, "That's what you want to believe! Bakit hindi mo tanggapin ang katotohanan?! Minahal ka niya!"
"I am intelligent! I know the truth!"
"But you are blinded and deafened by your obsession."
"I loved her, I chose her but she cheated on me."
"She did not! You just couldn't trust your honest wife! Why couldn't you? Because you were afraid she would do the same mistake you had committed! You were the one who had an affair with that woman! She had known about it but didn't say a thing! She didn't complain about it! I found about it. I am correct, right? You were worried that she would get a revenge on you, " He gasped for air. "But my old friend is not like that. She tried to understand but your obsession led her to death. You killed your wife and made it looked like a suicide! Then, you tried to kill me next but I survived. Now, I don't care if I die but you must die too--" He was shot in the head and his head immediately hung low.
I want to throw up. I'd seen how he was shot, and bleed. He died just like that.
I got shocked when Ianne silently removed the cover on Chandler's mouth, and nodded her head.
"Is that true, Dad? And should I still call you that? You killed Mom? You made it looked like a suicide?" My heart breaks for my love as his tears stroke down the side of his face.
"You believe him that easily? You are a fool."
"Why? Should I believe you instead? After what you've done to me, to us, to him? You killed him just like that!"
"She had an affair with that man!"
"No, even if I don't know her, I know she would not cheat on you. I believe that man more than you."
"Okay, then! I will eventually kill you too--I decided--so fine, I killed your mom. Happy?"
Chandler bursted into tears with his fist clenched.
