Irena's point of view
Malakas ang tugtog sa loob ng bar. Hindi ko alam kung nakakailang bote na ba ako basta ang alam ko gusto kong kalimutan ang natipatikong lalaking yon. 'I will help you to save your father's company if you will allow me to marry you'
''Arghh! That jerk! Hinding hindi ko siya pakakasalan i can save that company in my own!'' Saad ko sa sarili at ininom ang natirang alak sa baso.
''Here's your vodka ma'am''. Nilingon ko ang nasa tabi kong kanina pa naglalandian. I can even hear their kissing sound! Sa inis ko lumabas nalang ako.
Inilabas ko ang cellphone ko at nakita kong 28 miss calls galing sa sekretarya ko. I immediately call her. ''Yes? What happen Ms. Vina?''
"The bank manager called and said that your father's house had been sold. I think they were already there by this time."
'' What ?! they can't do that to me! i can pay all dad's debts! ''
''I'm sorry ma'am pero kailangan niyo na pong pumunta doon'' I quickly turned off the call and quickly started the car.
when I arrived I immediately found a lawyer and the bank manager who had just left the house. '' let me in'' I tried to enter but the staff stopped me.
'' Ms. Miselonia please understand, This house is owned by a bank 2 years ago in fact someone bought it. '' Mr tan's said.
'' What? I can pay for this house, just give me a little time. ''
"I'm sorry I can't do anything for this anymore Ms. Miselonia, but here's the lawyer of the person who bought this house , you can talk to him kung gusto mong mabawi ang bahay na ito."
''Sinong nakabili ng bahay?'' Tanong ko sa abogado.
''this person wants to remain anonymous, here's my card let's talk some other time '' he said and left. ''F*ck!'' Napaupo ako at napayuko sa gilid ng gate.
I wiped the tear on my cheek and called my friend stella.
''Ughh-mmmm, Yes baby '' I pulled the phone away from my ear when I heard those words.
"Yes Mika?" She asked i rolled my eyes before answering.
''Nothing, just enjoy what your doing now '' sh*t! your tight baby!
Ang babaeng iyon kahit kailan hindi talaga maaasahan sa mga ganitong bagay. Puro sex nalang kasi inaatupag.
I went straight to the condo. I examined the inside of it. As soon as I entered, I saw that the inside of the house was very cluttered. no wonder why this condo looks like this, it's been a few months since I cleaned it because I've been busy saving dad's company.
one by one I picked up the clutter on the floor. I also picked up the photo of the three of us, mommy and daddy. In that photo we were so happy. I stroked it and spoke.
'' kaonting oras pa dad and mom, I will save the company and I'll make pay uncle for his betrayal of us. i will make sure that he pays the best amount. '' When I finished clearing up some clutter I threw myself on the bed. Hindi ko namalayang nakatulog na pala ako.
Nagising ako sa sikat ng araw na dumampi sa mukha ko. Hindi ko pala ito naisara kagabi. Nagayos ako ng sarili ko at pumasok na sa opisina.
Everyone greets me, and I reciprocate the greeting. Kakaonti nalang ang natitirang epleyado sa company because when they found out that it was going to bankrupt, they left. Others stayed because they believed I could still save this company.
'' Goodmorning Ma'am Irena '' my secretary Vina.
'' Goodmorning, Nasa mesa ko na ba ang lahat ng papeles na ipinakukuha ko? '' I asked.
'' Yes ​​ma'am,And Mr. Wayne called if you thought about his condition ''
''Cancel all my appointments today i will talk to him personally''
''Yes ma'am.'' Dumireto ako sa office at sinimulang buklatin ang mga papeles na ipinakuha ko.
Halos kalahati sa mga ito nabasa ko na ngunit may isang folder na nakakuha ng aking pansin. Naglalaman iyon ng mga perang inilabas dalawang taon na ang nakakalipas.
''September 8... 20 million pesos?'' I sat on my chair and review the papers. Ang 20 million pesos ay nasundan pa ng 15 at 40 million pesos at natransfer ito sa isang bank account.
Tinawagan ko ang sekretarya ko at napagkaalaman ko na ang bank account ay close na one year ago at pagmamayari ng traydor na kapatid ng aking ama.
''So you are the one who secretly withdraws money to the company due to its losses. I let you enjoy now because when I gather enough evidence of your lies I will do averthing to imprison you.'' Bulong ko sa sarili ko habang papasok sa bahay nito.
''Where tito?'' Pagpasok ko palang ay kaagad ko namg hinanap ang kapatid ng aking ama na dahilan kung bakit nalulugi ang kumpaniya ngayon. Bago pa makasagot ang lalaki bigla namang sumulpot si Mirae.
''Ate Mika ikaw ba yan?'' Oo bulag siya. Pinalaki siya ni tito para sa mga pansariling plano nito. Anak si Mirae sa pagkadalaga ng asawa nito. Kaya't ganun nalamang ang pagkasawalang bahala nito sa dalaga.
''Mirae...'' Tinitigan ko ito at nilapitan. ''Nandito ka po ba para sakin? Are we going outside? Like amusement park or park, matagal mo narin akong hindi na bibisita eh'' Napapikit ako sa sinabi nito.
''I don't even want you to be involved in the trouble started by your known father Mirae but he has to pay for everything and so that you can be free from the hands of the person you think is your real father.'' Yaan ang mga katagang gusto kong sabihin sakaniya ngayon ngunit wala pa akong kakayahang alagan siya sa ngayon.
''Oh Mika! My dear Niece, it's nice that you came to visit your uncle'' He said.
''Your not here for me ate Mika?'' ''I need to talk to your 'father' first Mirae. I'll take you for a walk when I have time okay?''binigyang riin ko ang katangang Father.
''You may go to your room Mirae'' He said to her. How could he treat Mirae like that? Sa mga ipinapakita niya ngayon mas lalong lumalaki ang kagustuhan kong pagbayarin siya sa lahat ng mga ginawa niya.
''So, what is my niece doing in my house? '' he said as he went downstairs. I barely laughed at what he said. niece? did i hear him right? he called me niece ?.
'‘Ang akala ko ay hindi ganoon kalaki ang kasalanan mo sa pamilya ko but I was wrong. From the time you tortured Mirae and her mother to the time you stole a large money from the company my father worked hard ''
He approached me. "Did you come here to tell me your trivial allegations?" He laughed.
''Don't worry uncle, I'm not moving thoughtlessly, unlike you leaving a trace. ''I pulled out the papers I had gotten earlier in the office and dropped them on the floor. He censored his staff pick it up which is immediately followed.
"That's just one of the evidences I have." I said and turned my back. "You're doing great Mika," he said angrily. before I finally left I spoke again.
''Now just enjoy everything you have because by the time I move, you will never be able to get out of jail. Pagbabayarin kita ng mahal''.
''Make sure na parati kang magiingat baka mangyari sayo ang nangyari sa ama mo.'' sagot nito.
''Sa sinabi mong iyan nabuo ang ideya sa isip ko na baka ikaw rin ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng ama ko'' Pagkasambit ko niyan ay pinaharurot ko na ang aking sasakyan papunta sa mansiyon ni Mr. Wayne.
