[Ten years ago]
Grandpa, where are we going for a walk today, I asked while grandpa was driving the car.
We will go to the bookstore and buy you a new books that you will like, Lolo said
"Really?" we will going to buy new books! "yehey"
When we got to the bookstore I was running for joy, reading was my hobby.
Be careful apo you might fall don't run.
Yes Lolo
"Lolo i like this book" can you buy this for me,
I know this is not childish but can you just buy it from me? "Please Grandpa"
What book is that? Ah The Center.
ok apo but that's just one ah, when you were young you should also read only children's books next time grandpa won't let you ah "
Yes lolo i promise
After we bought a book at the bookstore my grandfather and I went straight home but I was suddenly hungry so I forced grandpa to eat with us before going home.
Grandpa, can we eat first? It's still early.
Ok apo but , i'll need to call your mom and your dad ,After grandpa called mommy and daddy we went to a nearby restaurant in the bookstore so that we would not go away. After grandpa ordered food, we started talking and grandpa listened to my chatter. Grandpa, I'm full, let's go home. Sge grandson come and maybe your parents are worried at home. After my grandfather and I left the resto, we went to where his car was parked. Just when grandpa opened the car was a The van stopped us. The incident happened quickly because three men in black and wearing black jackets suddenly pointed at us with the guns they were holding. Atty. Francisco Villaruel! Give us all the evidence if you do not want me to blow up your grandson's head! Never touch my grandson here. Please ", grandpa said in a tearful voice. The drama is over. Will you give it to us or not? Yes! No! Why would I give up the only thing that can get rid of such bad people! There were tensions and the three men in grandfather's mask were furious. And after a few minutes that grandpa still did not give what the three men needed, a man behind grandpa suddenly pulled his gun and pointed it at grandpa and my world stopped when I saw grandpa lying down. I was in front of me and while I was also shot by a man in the back. Until I lost consciousness but I will never forget the death of my grandfather right in front of me.
"Thank god" are you awake now. How are you son, are you okay? Is something wrong with you? Question of my worried daddy. Yes dad I'm ok. Dad where's lolo, Dad he's ok?
Ah sweetie .. Why dad there's something wrong.
Yes! There really is!
Hi mom "
You stopped when you were young if you didn't invite your grandfather to eat, I wish you were home, I wish your grandfather was still alive! "
Anna, stop blaming your child, you will be angry with your dad for doing this "
And then mommy walked out of the room. "Dad i did something wrong?" Why was mommy is shouted at me like that? " And daddy why is mommy saying that grandpa is gone, isn't that daddy that's not true? "
Sweetie, it's hard to explain what is happening now at a young age, eh "but son, what your mom said is true, your grandfather is gone, he can no longer cope with the severity of the bullet hit his body.
"No dad, that's not true" cried the sad young Aila.
After my grandfather's funeral my mother still ignored me, I do not know why she blamed me for all the sudden things that happened. Mommy "
Yes! Why are you in such a mess when you said you were going to play?
Sorry mommy "I won't do it again.
Dad why is mommy blaming me for what happened to grandpa !? "
Don't understand your mother and child, that's how it is when you are old enough to get angry quickly.
Dad I don't know if you're joking or not eh "
Ahahah, oh as long as sweetie don't mind your mom maybe he still can't accept what happened to your grandfather so that's the habit non, let's let go of the heat first, it will also pass. Ok dad.
Althea POV
Ah, that's what happened, that's why you always seem to have a problem and someone is thinking. By the way, are you and your mommy ok now after 10 years?
Ah right now he still doesn't pay attention to me, mommy loves grandpa very much, mommy also loves me but she remembers everything that happened to grandpa then so she is still cold to me. You know i miss my mom, i miss her hug, our bond and all my memories with her,she said
Ah wyt "wait wait wait" if you are not ok with your mom eh who do I see delivering you all the time, "hello" so fictional and imagining that I see your mommy delivering and picking you up here at school. "OMG" I'm hallucinating ". "
"Your OA too", what you saw was not a hallucination, my mommy really delivered me but she is not my biological mom she's my stepmother.
"Ah" so your mommy and daddy are separated?
Can you not be too chismosa in my life just shut up there and help me find info about the death of my grandpa, she said.
Ah so are you open to me to help you?
Yes, why do you think, eh, isn't your mom a lawyer, maybe she is have a connection that can help us like a detective right?
" What! "I don't like mysteries noh.
Didn't you say you want me to be your friend and I still have doubts there, so if you want to accompany me on your trips, join me in my investigations, what's the deal?
No! No! No! I will not allow it.
Ok fine you take care, I'll just report you to your parents that you went to the club yesterday after school.
What!?"And how did you know that?
Edi i followed you.
Huh? "How? As long as you are no longer there. I don't know about the woman, I still want to be involved in her investigations, eh if I don't accept the deal she will report me to mommy and daddy, and I will definitely be grounded for 1 month.
Ok fine I gave up the deal I agreed to.
Ok were friends, I have no doubts. And I will not report you to your parents again, dont worry your secret is safe.
Ah, it's really annoying, I don't know why the woman allows me, I don't know. Wait wyt what you told me at first the death of your grandfather was mysterious eh how mysterious if you saw how he died.
It's so mysterious that I or my mommy doesn't know why she was killed. Ah,
in fact, your grandfather is a lawyer, so it is not possible for him to be very angry.
Start searching for info, maybe tomorrow? Sge ok pero paano ang school? I will ask
Edi let's cut.
What ?! Do you want me to be even angrier with my parents?
Ah so what do you want to report you now or will you come with me and everything will be a secret?
Ok fine! Tomorrow we will cut to school and we will look for more info.
