The Cloaked Truth Series #5: Who's the Real Villain

☾🍷☽:67

My hands are trembling while still starring at my phone. I can't believe it. Tita Nirvana used be to the good Tita. 'Yong hindi ko talaga inaakalang magagawa niya 'yon dahil siya 'yong taong mahinhin, tahimik, minsan lang magmaldita but above it all, she showed to us how much genuine she is.

Siya 'yong nag aalaga kay Lola noong nagkasakit siya, but I don't know what have gotten into her.

Masakit makita si Lola ulit... pero this time sa kabaong na.

Mommy and my other family's crying. Daddy together with his brothers are busy finding Tita.

That day was our biggest nightmare. No one's at the house aside from Tita Nirvana and Lola.

We're not living together with Lola, siya at ang ibang mga anak niya lang ang nakatira sa mansyon including Tita Nirvana and Tito Carlo.

“Leyan, are you okay? Why are you trembling?”

I bit my lower lip while closing my eyes. Gusto kong sabihin kay ate kung anong sinabi sa akin ni Tita pero hindi ko alam kung bakit may kakaiba sa akin, there's a part that I don't want them to know kasi baka pati sila madamay pa..

Natatakot ako...

“I just.. can't believe it 'til now, ate. It won't really sink in. I'm really angry, confused, hurt, mixed.”

She hug me. “All of us are really shock. It won't really sink in easily. Pero ang higit na hindi ko maintindihan, bakit nagawa ni Tita 'yon? Lola has been good to her. Lola treated her very well. Tinanggap siya ng pamilya kahit gaano pa kagulo ang buhay niya. Tinulungan siya ng pamilya natin. Buenaventura's been kind to her despites what her family did to this family. Hindi ko alam na pati pala siya, kayang pumatay. She's really the definition of angel outside but a devil inside.”

“Anong posibleng dahilan ang tingin mo ate at nagawa 'to ni Tita?”

She sighed. “Honestly, wala. Kasi we all know what she is. She's different from her family. Pinatunayan niya 'yon sa mga nagdaang taon. That's why I don't understand what's happening right now. Why all of a sudden, everything that's happening changed.”

“Are you really believing that Lola died because she killed her?” I ask, seeking opinion of others.

Tita keep on telling me; she did not killed Lola, instead Lola killed herself.

May parte sa aking ayaw maniwala sa sinabi niya dahil sino nga namang mamatay tao ang aamin sa kan'yang krimeng ginawa, 'di ba wala? Pero there's also a part of me that almost.. believing her. But I'm scratching that thought...

... because no, Lola won't do such thing like that. She treasures life so much. She always says to us that life is precious so live it.

“Of course yes! Anong pinapalabas mo?! Na pinatay ni Lola ang sarili niya? Chelsea Leanna nahihibang ka na ba ha?!”

I sighed. “Ate no. I'm just asking you. H-Hindi naman ako nag iisip ng gan'yan...”

She stood up and shook her head. “I hope so, Leyan. I really hope so. Don't side the killer, protect your family. Ayusin mo ang sarili mo, any minute from now, Mommy will arrive.”

Oh god. Please help us with this one. Mababaliw ako kakaisip...

... If it's in between; Tita killed Lola or Lola killed herself? And who really is the real villain here?
