Chapter 39.[The Plan]

R O S I E

I looked at Alexander who is sitting on my couch.

He looks problematic.

And so do i.

"Anong sabi?"

He asked.

Umiling ako.

"He dropped the call.."

I saw him took a deep sigh.

Hindi niya napigilan maisabunot ang mga kamay sa buhok.

"This situation we are in starting to kill me..i dont wanna tell Ezra about it but my conscience tells me to, but im afraid she might leave me for this!"

I took a deep sigh and i sat beside him.

I pat his shoulder.

My cousin fall for his wife already.

Who wouldnt?

That girl is closed to perfection.

"We can get through this okay?"

I said.

He looked at me intently.

"You think so?"

I dont know if i will nod or nah.

I preferred not to.

"I think we need to go to US and stay there for good..i mean theres Daniel here that i can trust for the management of the company and other properties of Dad..what important is we can stay away from here..from all these.."

I cut him off.

"What about the girl? That Francine? Youre wife will surely bring Francine with her..siya ang guardian nun .."

I saw hesitations on his face.

He took a deep sigh.

"Bahala na!"

He said.

As i stared on the old house.

I was hesitant if bababa ba ako or hindi.

I took a deep sigh and decided to go.

I was about to knocked when someone opened the door.

Shocked written on her old face.

Hindi ko maiwasan makaramdam ng inis sa matandang ito.

Ang kamag anak ni Ezra na walang puso.

Ang nagiisang Auntie niya.

"Jake?ikaw na ba yan?!"

Atlast! She did recognized me.

I smirked.

She send me in.

Napaka plastic.

I sat on the monobloc chair.

"Anong ginawa mo kay Ezra?"

"Bakit mo inabandona ang anak mo sa ampunan?"

Magkasunod na tanong ko.

Natigilan siya.

She slowly sat on the chair infront of me.

I saw her eyes turns teary.

"Anyways im sorry for your lost recently.."

Me pertaining to her husband.

"Wala pa din lead kung bakit siya pinatay..and sino ang utak sa pagpatay sakanya.."

"Maybe he deserves it.."

I said.

Taka siyang napatingin sa akin.

"Answer my question earlier Susan..bakit mo nagawang palayasin ang pamangkin mo gayong alam mo na wala na siyang ibang kamaganak kundi ikaw!"

I cant helped myself not to yell.

And she started to cry.

"Walang araw na hindi ko pinagsisihan yun Jake..hindi ko din alam kung pano ko nagawang tanggapin ang bayad ng mga Marcos sa kaso ng kapatid at bayaw ko..hindi ko sinasadya nagpadala ako ng husto sa udyok ng asawa ko na tang---"

Biglang naginit ang ulo ko.

I clenched my fist.

Kung lalaki lang to kanina ko pa nakwelyuhan to.

"Nagpabayad kayo para iurong ang kaso sa nakaaksidente sa magulang ni Ezra?! Sino! Sabihin niyo sakin sino ang nagbayad sa inyo!"

Natataranta na siya.

"Yung matandang Marcos kasama ang anak niya..isa siya sa mga nakaaksidente sa magulang ni Ezra..binayaran nila kami para wag ng ituloy ang kaso.."

"Bayad na tinanggap ninyo! Hindi niyo man lang sinabi kay Ezra! Napakahayop ninyong mag asawa!"

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko.

I grabbed her on both shoulder.

"Hindi mo ba alam na asawa ni Ezra ang anak ng matandang Marcos na sinasabi mo?!"

Kitang kita ko ang pamumutla sa mukha niya.

Isinalya ko siya sa upuan.

Patuloy lang siya sa pagiyak.

I walkes back and forth sa masikip na bahay nila.

"Hindi ko akalain na paglalaruan ng tadhana ang pamangkin ko..kasalanan ko to.."

She said.

I smirked.

"Buti naman at alam mong kasalanan mo! Pasalamat ka at hindi kagaya mong walang puso si Ezra dahil kinupkop niya si Francine. Magkakasama sila ngayon sa bahay ng kaaway!"

I yelled at her again.

I saw shocked written on her face.

"Handa akong tulungan ka sa pagtatama ng kamalian mo kung makikipagtulungan ka din sakin na paghiwalayin si Ezra sa asawa niyang kriminal.."

I said and i looked at her intently.

She looked at me with her eyes pooled in tears.

And she nodded.
