GABRIELA'S POV

"What the hell are you talking about?! That boy is my father's bestfriend' son! I can't do that. My father might scold me." Joke lang naman 'yong panghuli pero parang seryoso talaga siya sa pakikinig sa akin.

"Sino ba ang ama mo?" Naging malumanay naman siya ngayon.

"Cerio.. Cerio Yeon." Mas binilisan niya ang takbo at wala ng mga salita ang lumabas sa bibig niya. What's the matter with him?

Pumasok kami sa village nila...kay best na village rin to ah?!

"H-hey, hey, hey, what are we doing here?" Dadalhin niya ba ako kay best at isusumbong ako? Bakit kilala rin ba ni best si Miggy?

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask in your mind. First of all, Miggy's dad, he's our great competitor not even me but Tita Vic, TJ's mother, his mother is a well known cheff in France, Russia, California, especially in China, Japan and South Korea, she's my mother's ex-bestfriend also. When it comes to money, they've been blind to it, even though they're doing bad things and they are used to it. That's why money is an evil. Also that Miggy? He's a playboy, he can buy you and he can do whatever he wants to do to you....and Mr. Chen, he's a great evil-doer. So what if your dad is just like him?" I gasped. Is he serious?

NO! That's a lie! He's lying! Hindi gano'n ang dad ko! Iniisip ko na lagi lang iyon sa pakanan namin!

"Sorry for the terms, but I am right. I know that you're an open-minded person, tiny owl. I am stating the fact, all of their evil-doing I know that. Because my mom's second husband is a PO2, and they're fond to manipulate other's mind. Money causes their blindess." Bumaba na ako sa kotse niya..

"But they aren't thieves!" Ani ko. Dahil totoo nam'an! Sabihin na natin na gumagawa sila ng masama pero hindi sila mag--

"Unfortunately, they are.." What?! Totoo ba 'yon?

"W-why?! Why are you saying this to me?! Oh yeah, you have a big mouth nga pala. Kaya kung ano-ano ang mga pinagsasasabe mo!" Tumalikod na ako..

"I know this sounds not right but you have to be careful with them. They might be using you. Mr. Chen, siya ang muntik ng mahuli nila pero dahil sa malinis ang record ay hindi nila nahuli ito. And also that the history is that King Auserwelty, the founder of AFC. He claimed that Mr. Chen is a fraud." Naiyukom ko ang kamao ko. "Get inside." Sumunod na lang ako pero napatigil ako dahil familiar ang bahay na ito.

But what if that he's telling the truth?! Kung gano'n si Mr. Chen ay malamang gano'n din ang ginagawa ni dad. Impossible...

Nang makapasok na ako...

"Hoy Clark! Lumabas ka na nga sa lungga--"

"What the hell? Who's Clark?"

"Tss, get out of my territory. My friend's not here."

O M G!

Siya nga! Ito nga 'yong bahay! Naaalala ko nga, who's Clark daw? Pero sinabi niya na , my friend's not here? Ano kaya 'yon?

Lumakad ako papasok..

Dumiretso siya sa garden nila! WOW! MAS MALAKI ANG BAHAY NILA!

"Hoy, may itatanong ako! Ikaw pala ang nakausap ko noon ha! 'Yong sinabi mong, who's Clark pero sinabi mo sa huli na your friend's not here. Ano kaya iyon?" Halatang nagulat siya pero ngumisi lang siya.
