Moonlight and You

15

Rest if you're tired, be gentle with yourself :)

"Hindi ka ba napapagod anak?" My mother asked me.

I just shook my head and continued what I was doing. "This is for Aiyanna, ma. When it comes to her, being tired is not valid.

"Basta, nandito lang ako palagi anak, kung kailangan mo ng tulong andito lang kami ng papa mo. Alam kong mahirap anak, pero lagi mong tatandaan, meron kang kami."

"Thank you, ma." Sagot ko.

I am happy, that I have them. I have someone to lean on when I am tired. I have someone when I am drained.

Life loves to challenge me. A tough challenge, I mean. I didn't imagine that my life would end up like this. It was true. Everything can change in a snap. Like a bubble floating in the air, just one prick, it will vanish.

It was indeed a sad reality. Wala ka ng magagawa kapag nangyari na, you need to accept it or else you'll lose your mind, even sanity. Mapipilitan kang tanggapin, even it's hard you need to accept the reality.

I played with my pen while reading tons of documents about Levania. The van was found empty in an abandoned place. I was suspecting that's the place where they bought my daughter.

May posibilidad na nakatakas ang anak ko, may posibilidad na may masamang nangyari dito. I also found my daughter's thing. I found it strange, why would they leave evidence?

I tucked my hair and scanned all the documents. It was all connected but what's strange is, hindi malinis ang pagkaka trabaho nila. Sinadya ba ito, o sadyang palpak?

Damn, Syera Atriarah.

Why would someone powerful let her men do unclean work? It makes me wonder, what's behind it. What is the reason, or is it a trap for me?

They must be aware of my movements. Knowing how powerful they are. But it won't change a thing. Pababagsakin ko pa rin sila. Ibabalik ko sa kanila lahat ng hirap na dinanas ko. I will make them suffer, I will be their karma.

If karma won't slap them, then I will.

Ako na mismo ang gagawa ng mga bagay na dapat nilang maranasan. I will make them taste their own medicine. I won't stop until they taste hell.

Matagal na akong nagtitimpi. I let lawyers do their job but what do I got? nothing. Wala, dahil nag pasilaw sila sa pera, when I can pay them triple.

"Madam, coffee break?" Dion's voice lingers around the room. I lazily looked at him and looked for the coffee.

Halos tumambay na ito sa bahay araw-araw. Hindi ko alam kung tinutulungan ba ako nito o ginugulo. Instead of focusing reading documents, napapa chismis ako.

He looked at me and chuckled. "Hindi talaga ako naniniwala na hindi ka graduate ng law. Nag take ka no? After manganak kay Aiyanna."

"Kakaiba talaga skills mo, kapag nagka license ka, talo mo pa sigurado ako." Dagdag pa nito.

"Bulok ka kasi." Pangbabara ko.

He frowned. "Why don't you try taking the licensure exam?"

"I was too busy that time, you know, taking care of Aiyanna. Kaya wala akong oras para sa ganyan. Pero, may point ka. Siguro, try ko rin." I replied.

I have knowledge about law. Tapos ako, lisensya na lang ang kulang. Maybe, it's time. Kaya siguro atat na atat akong mag aral noon, magagamit ko pala ngayon.

I grabbed my phone and searched for the schedule. Luckily, it's around the corner. I still have time to refresh my knowledge about it.

Just wait, Fourth. I will make them pay, I surely will.
