Chapter 55
The Reason Behind It

Wala kaming ibang ginawa ni Kuya kung hindi ang mag-usap. He mentioned that wala na siyang contact sa Nanay namin, hindi na sila nagkikita mahigit isang taon na. Gano'n din ang sinabi sa'kin ni D'mitri nang nakaraan.

Ano kayang nangyari?

"Kuya, bakit nga pala naghiwalay sina, you know, ang mga magulang na'tin?" Tanong ko habang nginunguya ang chips na binigay niya.

Nasa labas kami ngayon ng veranda nitong kwarto ko, nakaupo lang at pinapanood ang buwan sa kalangitan.

He crossed his arms. "Well, I don't know the exact reason kung bakit iyon nagsimula. Alam mo naman'g parating nag-aaway sina Mom at Dad but I think tungkol iyon sa mga mamanahin na'tin." Napatango ako. "I want to tell you something Ree, I know you miss Mom and you told me earlier that you're finding her. I think you should stop." My left eye brow curved in confusion.

"Why would I do that?" I asked.

Well, I already stopped but I wanted to know what are his reasons.

He let out a deep sigh. "Alam mo ba kung bakit tayo nakarating sa palengke?" I shook my head. "Tumakas tayo kay Mom, she tried to kill you." dumagundong ng malakas ang puso ko.

What the?

I tried to speak pero walang lumalabas na salita sa bibig ko, I feel numb. Biglang nag-flash sa isip ko ang mga nangyari bago ako tinakas ni Kuya. Nahawakan ko ang ulo ko.

I remember that day.

They had an argument about something and I was there, watching them shouting and throwing hurtful words at each other. And then Mom saw me, hinawakan niya ang braso ko at tinutukan ako nang baril sa noo saka may mga sinabi siya kay Dad. But luckily nakuha iyon ni Dad and Kuya showed up, and we run away together.

Alonso was right, how could I mistrust him before? Sh't! All this time I've been searching for a wicked Mother.

Napatakip ako nang bibig, hindi makapaniwala. Umiwas naman siya nang tingin. "I know it's hard to believe but it's true. Kung sa tingin mo ay sinisiraan ko si Mom sa'yo p'wes nagkakamali ka. I'm warning you Ree. Don't find her ever again, mas mabuting 'wag mo na siyang kilalanin. Ever since we're born, she never cared for us, oo hindi nga niya tayo sinasaktan pero parang wala lang tayo sa kaniya. All she wants was Dad's fortune, nothing else. It's all Mom's fault at nang araw na mawala ka, Dad blamed me." wika niya, ramdam ko ang pagsisisi niya. There was a moment of silence.

"I'm sorry Kuya." I whispered.

Malungkot siyang ngumiti. "No, don't say sorry. Walang may kasalanan. It's just that, nang mawala ka hiniwalayan na agad ni Dad si Mom and you know what's the worst thing that happened? He left me, iniwan niya ako kasama ni Mom. I know I hate Mom but that time, I was mad at him for leaving me Ree. Ni hindi niya ako kinamusta, wala siyang pakealam sa'kin!" Galit niyang sabi, bigla akong naawa.

"Kuya don't say that, I think he cares–"

"Pero ba't hindi ko naramdaman Ree?"he cut me off. "Sa bawat taon na nabubuhay ako he was not there to support me, his son! D'mn it! Wala siya sa mga kaarawan ko, sa mga achievements ko sa school. Wala siya Ree, I was waiting for him, na sana ay magpakita naman siya sa'kin kahit isang beses lang, pero wala 'e. Kinalimutan niya ako." ramdam ko ang sakit na nararamdaman niya.
