Mystery Box

It's been a day when I left to Batangas. I never thought that I need to accept what's consequences after what we did to Jenna.

When Jenna already know what happened that day, I never talked Dourgh nor answered his calls.

I'm still mad at him, he must told me what's his plan for Jenna case, hindi yung umasa ako na hindi niya sasabihin ang totoo.

We're all here at the house of Uncle Theo, He called us because of urgent matters. We don't have any clues about what's he will gonna talked about.

Nakaupo lang kaming lahat sa sofa habang hinihintay si Uncle. Lumipas ang ilang mga minuto ay dumating na siya.

"It's good that you all here." He uttered and he sat down. He bring down his things and faced us. "Maybe you all clueless what's urgent will I tell you." He says. Nakatingin lang kami sa kanya habang hinihintay ang susunod niyang sasabihin.

"Aira Cruztiraci got caught, the wife of Hector Cruztiraci." We all gasped because of his news. We never thought that woman will caught by police.

Akala namin nag tatago ang babaeng yun sapagkat wanted silang mag asawa dahil sa pag kidnapped nila sa mga bata noon.

"But how?" Heldiago asked, we all curious too. Kung paano at bakit nahuli na si Mrs. Aira.

"She did scene at the restaurant, and nahuli siya ng mga police." He uttered but he was smiling like a crazy man. We fussed, what's meaning of that smile?

"But do you know who's the reason behind of that event?" He slowly smirked while looking at us.

"Who?" tanging bulong nalang ang nagawa namin sapagkat nakaramdam kami ng kaba dahil rito.

"No other than, The adopted daughter of Del Zygo." He smirked after that. "Valrian adopted sister!?" gulat na tanong ni Vren sa kanya. He knows them?

I mean, I never heard anything about that Family. "Yes." He smirked.

"Oh god, hindi ko aakalain na matatapos lang ng ganun ganun ang masasayang araw ng babaeng yun." Sambit nito habang natatawa na parang isang kontrabida.

Nakatinginan kaming apat sa isa't isa. Hindi namin alam kung anong mararamdaman namin sa aming nalaman, if we will happy too because that bitch got jailed now or the truth that the person who send jailed to that bitch is also the victim of her wrongs doing.

Nakatulala lang ako sa may terrace habang iniisip pa rin ang lahat ng nangyayari ngayong araw.

"Malalim ata ang iniisip mo Lerveax?" napatingin ako sa aking may tabi nang may biglang may nagsalita. It's Uncle Theo, "Do you have a problem?" he asked while looking at the view that we had right now in front of us.

Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya at bigla akong nag buntong-hininga, "I just thinking about the other one box." I told him.

Matagal pa nang makasalita siya nang sabihin ko yun, "Are you aware that all of you are in the dangerous situation?" He asked but I shooked my head.

I don't know what's he talking about, all I know is Jenna was suffering because of us but never thought that there's a deep situation that we facing right now.

"The box you talking about is it in my place, I hide it to all of you because that's things is important." He uttered. Nakikinig lang ako sa kanya, hindi parin siya natingin sa akin.

"Naglalaman yun ng mahahalagang bagay, tungkol sa mga sendekato na aming naharap ni Fier at ni Marvux. We are friends, magkasama din kami sa isang organization kung saan delikado. Marami na ang aming hinarap na paghihirap, masaya naman kami until someone came, binago niya ang aming pananaw sa buhay at doon nag simula na gusto na naming umalis sa organization na yun ngunit hindi kami pinayagan.

So ang tanging naisip nalang namin ay tumakas at mag tago kasama ang babaeng tumulong sa amin upang magising sa aming miserableng buhay. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na aming kinakatakotan. Our lives is in danger and we involved the woman who save us, Isa-isa kaming nalagas, ang una ay ang babaeng tumulong sa amin at ito ay ang tunay na ina ni Jenna, sumunod naman ay si Fier at si Marvux hanggang sa ako nalang ang natira sa aming apat ngunit bago pa silang dalawa namatay ay may iniwan sa akin si Fier, ang isang kahon na naglalaman ng mga information sa organization na yun at ang mga taong napatay nila."

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa aking narinig, it's means Jenna is just an adopted of Uncle Joa? But who is Marvux? And who's the master mind of this bullshit crime?

"Who's Marvux, Uncle?" I curious asked. Napatingin siya sa akin at ngumiti, "The father of James Silvano." Nanlaki ang aking mga mata dahil sa aking narinig, so James knows it?

Napaka liit ng mundo sa kanilang dalawa ni Jenna, I neverg thought that. Lalo pang nagulo ang aking utak dahil sa nalaman ko tungkol sa kwento nina Uncle Joa at Uncle Theo.

Why there's a lot of people who got involved in this crime? Bakit pa yung mga inosenteng mga bata?

Litong lito na ako sa mga nangyayari at sa mga nalalaman ko. Hindi ko maisip kung bakit kailangang pag daanan nila ito, Hindi ba mas makakabuti kung ang mga nakakatanda nalang dahil sila naman ang gumawa ng krimen at wala pa noon sila, kami.

But why?

Lutang akong naglalakad sa loob ng bahay, ngunit naagaw ng atensyon ko si Vren na may kausap sa telepono and he even mentioned Jenna's name.

So I was curious, "So? Ano nang balita kay Jenna?" rinig kong tanong ni Vren sa kausap nya kaya tumago ako upang makinig sa usapan nilang dalawa. So they talking about Jenna huh.

"Naglayas siya" rinig kong sagot nito jay Vren, what? Nag layas sya? Wait so it's mean may chance na pumunta sya rito?

I have a feelings that she will be here any minutes because she's now desperated to know the truth, lalo't pa alam na niya ang tungkol sa kanyang tatay.

It's will be worst! Hindi dapat muna pumunta si Jenna dito, delikado at lalo't pa mag isa lang siya.

"What!?" galit na sambit nito sa kausap, ramdam ko ang galit nito. I know his reason. He just doesn't want to hurt her after all she is his Friend.

He also hurting whenever Jenna hurt. He've been through a lot, maybe he was stupid but hell he was sweet on us.

"Calm down Silverest" A voice on the other sides.

Medyo kumalma naman si Vren. "Ano bang dahilan ni Jenna? Bakit sya nag layas?" mahinahong tanong nito rito.

"We hurt her" malungkot na sagot nito sa kanya, shit Jenna hurting again. How earth so cruel to her. She doesn't deserve this, she deserves earth more than us.

"Ano? Matthew naman!" Inis na sambit nya rito. His eyes turned to bloodshot eyes because of irritation.

"Ang dami na nyang napag daanan! Maawa naman kayo sa kanya!" he irritated said. Ramdam mo talaga rito yung inis.

Hindi na nakaimik yung lalaki sa kanya. Umalis nalang ako rito dahil masakit para sa akin na malamang nasasaktan na naman ang taong mahal ko.

Sobra na ang sakit na kanyang nararamdaman, maawa naman kayo sa kanya Tadhana. Nasasaktan din ako para sa kanya.

"Sino ang naandyan?" tanong ko nang mapadaan ako sa may garden. Para bang may kung sinong nag bubulkal ng lupa. Kaya tiningnan ko ito at laking gulat ko na si Jenna pala ang naandon.

"What are you doing here Jenna!?" Gulat na tanong ko sa kanya. "G..give me that.... thing" she sobbed. "What's thing?" I pretended to ask her as it I didn't know what's she talking about.

"Wag ka na...mag maang maangan!, I know...you know what I mean!" She said while crying. I felt pity at her. Fuck I hurting her too.

"Hindi ko alam ang pinag sasabi mo" I calmly uttered. I know what's she mean but I'm scared to tell her. I'm sorry for what I'm going to do. I just needed to do this.

"Bakit ba... ganyan kayong lahat!" She screamed said. I felt how she was frustrated. Awang awa na ako sa kanya kaya naman nilapitan ko sya. Akmang lalapitan ko na siya ngunit sinuntok-suntok lang niya ang aking dibdib, nakaramdam man ako ng sakit ngunit tiniis ko dahil mas masakit pa rin kung paano namin siya saktan emotionally.

"Tangina naman oh. Gusto ko lang naman....malaman kung ano ang totoo! Bakit ayaw nyo ako pag bigyan!" she scream said while she saying those words.

Fuck! Ang sama ko. Pinaiyak ko ang mahal ko na babae, na ang hangad lang naman ay mahalin sya at malaman ang totoo pero wala, hindi ko man lang sya magawang tulungan.

Ako pa mismo ang nag bibigay sa kanya ng sakit, na imbes na sabihin sa kanya ang totoo ay mas pinili kong itukom nalang kasi I need it.

She coughed on the ground as she covered her face. I approached her and hugged her. I just hugged her tightly, it was too much. She punched me in my chest while she was crying. I deserve that punch. I fucking hurt her. Until she lost her consciousness.

She too tired, I picked her up like a bride and wiped the tears from her eyes. I kissed her eyes before I lay her down in my bed.
