AUTHOR: You know guys, I am not just writing stories just for the heck of it. I mean unless the country I used is fictitious I could always come up with my OWN law oara happy lahat (like what I did with Falling For Mr. Mayor...galing sa segue) but in this story, I used the Philippines as the country so I might as well use the Law of the Philippines Regarding child custody... para alam niyo din hehehe. So to continue...please vote, share, comment or whatever you like to do but please don't be mean. Thank you

It's been six weeks now and Berry has not come home yet. I am desperate. I called Tim my lawyer about it. He said that I could file for, but he does not recommend it, a petition for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus and custody of minor. I can file it in the Court of Appeals so it can be enforced in any part of the Philippines. But he said that he recommends that I enter into a written agreement with September that I will provide support, and there will be a schedule when the child can stay with me. Damn! Damn!

"Sir, you have a call from Rome, line 2."

Rome?

"Mr Antonio?"

Ah yung private eye

"Yes, Ed any news?"

"Sir, the subject is headed for the international airport at 10 am today. Subject and child are flying to the Philippines, sir."

"Thank you Ed."

Pauwi na sila dito? Pero saan sila pupunta? Sa Bahay ba? Wala pa akong kakilalang kaibigan niya. He did not introduced them to me or... hindi lang ako interesado? Wait si Yaya Mercy, alam niya yun.

"Geena, tawagan mo nga si Yaya Mercy."

"Okay Sir."

Tama bakit hindi siya ang tanungin ko?

"Sir nasa line na po si Mercy."

"Hello?"

"Yaya aabihan mo si Mang Rody samahan ka dito sa opisina ko. May paguusapan tayong dalawa."

"Okay Sir."

.......

After one hour

"Yaya Mercy. Nasabi ko na sa inyo na nakita ko si Berry sa Rome di ba?"

"Oo sir. Bakit po?"

"Dapat tinanong na kita nun eh. Alam mo ba kung saan matatagpuan ang mga kaibigan niya?"

"Alam ko po ang bahay ni Margot, yung best friend po niya."

"Anong apelyido ni Margot?"

"Herrera sir. Siya yung anak ni Former Senator Herrera."

"Pinsan niya si Clark?"

"Hindi ko alam sir. Pero siya yung nag iisang anak na babae ni Senator Herrera."

"Nandito ba sa Pilipinas?"

"Hindi ako sure Sir pero nung nakita niya ako iniwasan ako eh so baka alam niya."

"Alam mo kung saan nakatira?"

"Sa bahay nila Sir ang alam ko."

"Teka tawagan ko si Clark."

......

"Hello pare, si Rafa Antonio to. May favor sana ako hihingin sa yo eh"

"Ano pare?"

"Saan nakayira si Margot?"

"Si Margot na pinsan ko? Bakit pare may kasalanan ba siya sa yo?"

"Pare best friend niya si September. Hinahanap ko yung mag-ina ko."

"Teka! Teka! Pare, sino ba ang mag-ina mo? Bakit si September? Di ba nawawala siya? Bakit si Margot?"

"Pare huwag ka na magtanong, basta alam mo ba kung saan nakatira si Margot!"

"Pare ibibigay ko yung address pero huwag mo sasabihin ako nagbigay sa yo ha?"

"Okay pare.Maraming salamat."

He gave me the address and I put down the phone. Grateful for connections and for once grateful for the rich status that I have always hated.

"Tara, yaya."

.......

MARGOT

Sino ba tong kung maka doorbell wagas? Don't tell me na sina September na to. Sabi ni Karlo their plane just landed. I would have wanted to go with Karlo and pick them up pero my foot is in a cast. Clumsy me natapilok ako kahapon kaya yan fracture!

"Wait lang!"

Pfft grabe naman tong tao na to.

"Ano bang prob....... Rafa?"

"So you know me?"

"So you know me?"

"Ha? Ah eh... Yaya Mercy!!!"

Shit! Bakit nandito si Rafa? Pano niya nalaman? Naku pano to?

"May we come in?"

"Aaahhmmm, sure come in."

Silence

"Margot, you probably know bakit kami nandito?"

Yaya Mercy stood up and went to the farthest corner of the recievibg area trying to busy herself with the magazine on the table. Ganayan sana lahat ng kasama sa bahay alam rumespeto sa amo. I know she wanted to know about September pero may boss pa din siyang kasama. Alam niya ang lugar niya.

"Rafa, look I'm sorry sa plane why I did not have the courage to talk to you. You probably know why."

"Yeah naiintindihan ko. But right now, I know you jave communications with September and I would like to know where will she be going when she arrives here in the Philippines?"

"Alam mona uuwi sila?"

"Oo. I had her followed sa Rome and they told me she's coming home. So I want to know where they are going."

RAFA

I saw her hesitate for a moment. Then she looked at me resigned

"Am doing this for Daniel and not for you or Spetember. Masyado kayong parehong ma pride.... any moment now, they will he here. My boyfriend went to pick them up."

DING! Dong!
