Chapter 40

My days went painfully slow. Mula nang malaman ko ang balita tungkol sa sindikatong sinasabi ni Papa ay hindi na ako matahimik. If a syndicate is indeed involved, then this is something really serious.

Kung anuman ang dahilan ng mga taong nasa likod nito, hindi iyon simple lang. For them to get the syndicate involved in hurting me, this is something beyond simple and petty.

I grew anxious as the days passed. I'm torn between wanting to go home to personally receive updates of the investigation o manatili nalang dito para sa sariling kaligtasan.

We had been sleeping in the same room mula nang magkaayos kami. Aniya'y nag-aalala rin siya sa akin kaya niya ako sinasamahan.

I would constantly stare at the nothingness and get lost with my thoughts. Since my father broke that news to me, I have been restless and so out of it. His hug tightened.
