PART 9 — THE MISSING PIECE
No Plagiarism!awQE1Y3DGGxwHJDvp7Ntposted on PＥNAＮＡ 57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVF4VRSFBn

P.O.V - SHAIRAH

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJPoNBhDUh

Hindi niya sinagot ang tanong ko.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxBFngb7ce

Nanatili lang siyang nakatayo sa harap ko.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZHrHQ9crm

Tahimik.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrbCRV1TQN

Parang pinag-iisipan kung magsisinungaling ba siya...

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21JEjBZ3fW

o magsasabi ng totoo.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK85jznr970

"Clifford."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYkzeD9Dhe

Mas madiin ko siyang tinawag.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfAAamov4

"What happened that night?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWg8erJF6C

Umiling siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA1jP1AKno

"I don't know what you're talking about."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHI2Ug5ZuW

Napatawa ako nang mahina.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbm1Yardgy

Really?

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXRzOpDrii

"Then why are you scared?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMgwlAIALH

Natigilan siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1soVYrZf

Hindi siya nakasagot.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQr5Ter3fg

At doon ko lalong naramdaman na may mali.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyTcEjdAW0

Dahan-dahan kong itinaas ang hawak kong papel.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK2Vpk93ZT

"This was inside a box labeled 2019."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPiNsoJxS

Tumingin siya rito.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreqsJPgRKk

"And you immediately told me not to look at it."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Srwll5kw

"Because you don't know what you're going to find."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj1gsPwhJy

"Exactly."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ic4N7raS

Lumapit ako sa kanya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLfoeHohwr

"So tell me."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyT8QMLzEV

Tahimik.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Vy0aDN9S

"What am I going to find?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN90gLZOzK

Wala pa ring sagot.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59RhHefQI

Napailing ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g6BMuADQk

"Five years, Clifford."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvScegwPTb0

"I spent five years believing that Stellan destroyed our family."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cENLR83SW

Napatingin siya sa akin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvssxzeV59w

"He was blamed for what happened to Sean."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSUbr8jXxt

Humigpit ang hawak ko sa tungkod ko.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMX3d14C0g

"And I believed it."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2zzQ4TDl

Sandaling natahimik.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0vNlmg9xE

"But now..."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJJ5Fv2ESx

Tumingin ako sa kanya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvNUUgjsDu

"I'm not so sure anymore."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkVdxbECIj

Napayuko siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObo1wAHWyJ

At iyon ang unang pagkakataon na nakita kong parang may bigat siyang dala.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaZSDPqOVT

"Shairah..."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSoh3yZjUu

"Don't."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTie9kW7FKz

Umiling ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQst3XoyT

"Don't say sorry."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYMwCHiyZO

"I wasn't going to."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbbrd1fgpQ

Napahinto ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHxL956Qu0

"Then what were you going to say?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDApWv2ItW

Matagal siyang tahimik.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM2hkW7kAW

Hanggang sa mahina niyang sinabi-

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV1LCyQ0Wp

"You should ask your father."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRz2ShmOOJ

Nanigas ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb683oqcuv

"What?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWSasx0UX3

"Ask him what happened that night."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9hKcV1hjk

"You were there."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYpz9YUWxS

"So was he."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJsxWnPb3h

"And so was Stellan."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjhQuEsQNd

Tumingin siya sa akin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3YrxKXuT8

"Then ask them."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0pmxnxHTB

Napakunot ang noo ko.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamkEDboSgT

"Stellan isn't here."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDRLllxFk4

Tahimik siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqemBZ4Zd5

At pagkatapos-

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTA4KyuJVE

"Exactly."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNykWnaEQUq

Napatigil ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG6DzQf3wG

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGzTmAmUPh

Pero bago pa ako makapagsalita-

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgiqLovN7x

narinig namin ang tunog ng pinto.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIWlVb0fQS

Napalingon ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jNvaCh6U6

Si Stephanie.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiyCIhJkF2

Nakatayo sa may entrance ng library.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9c0LYAs7

At mukhang narinig niya ang huling sinabi namin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS17ortzg5q

"What are you talking about?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbwuFTh3Tz

Walang sumagot.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHKA87HBN8

Lumapit siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ59KBLVqtY

"You were talking about Kuya Stellan, right?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe6A5V0H2e

Tumingin siya sa akin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ3y81xEyl

"Ate?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDk7rGxdFz

Hindi ko alam kung sasabihin ko ba ang totoo.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MfwGgXRwe

Pero bago pa ako makapagsalita-

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6LSWJgib1

si Clifford ang naunang nagsalita.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRyeLzPvjV

"Nothing."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXZNHYNXic

Agad siyang tiningnan ni Stephanie.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTrwJD0Rg1

"Don't lie."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrpo0S4Qd0

Nanigas siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp0qCao18n

"I heard you."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeiLTe6EJn

Lumapit si Stephanie sa mesa.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ZGqYE5dM

Napansin niya ang lumang kahon.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLRCZWmwUv

"What's that?"

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjQ1wpFVDp

Hindi ako sumagot.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4aPcOQzW3

Kinuha niya ang litrato naming magkakapatid.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYN1wStHu

Dahan-dahan niyang tinitigan ang larawan.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVbYZk50xK

Napangiti siya nang bahagya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU3RWNTRN6

"We were happy."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0akV8B3U

Mahina.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVC4CXRv5A

Parang may halong pangungulila.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq3NaYJiHs

"Before everything happened."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uDgw62FC0

Napatingin siya kay Clifford.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacXzguQnIB

At agad nawala ang ngiti niya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUjnvsfyYL

"Before you came."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyIsRO7aKq

"Stephanie..."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAt657Gqn5

"Don't."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ299htu27

Ibinaba niya ang litrato.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QeYV0ksUu

"You don't get to act like you care."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78GcKY0emg

"I do care."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5r8mF6Cry

"Then tell us the truth."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZfxGo6BGy

Tahimik.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjneNNfPB7

Walang sumagot.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd5VBWrhnc

Napatingin ako kay Clifford.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OAaj0xPSn

At sa unang pagkakataon-

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9dLP8jh4Q

hindi ko na nakita ang batang inampon ni Dad.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PFLERorMi

Hindi ko na nakita ang taong sinisi ko sa pagkawala ng pamilya namin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpJTYnVXaf

Ang nakita ko lang ay isang taong takot magsalita.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbRMTt6x69

At kung takot siyang magsalita...

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFS7dk5cZP

what was he hiding?

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKFIjaamD

THAT NIGHT

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR9Rey1w0Q

Hindi ako mapakali.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0bmd8rnHs

Paulit-ulit kong iniisip ang sinabi niya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡick2AbTEBv

"Ask your father."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtLmwf4r1u

Kaya bumaba ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxX9mau5u

Tahimik ang hallway.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lBsAhWL9n

Walang tao.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ZBGX3N0m

Hanggang sa marinig ko ang boses ni Dad mula sa study.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ125n0kq45

"I told you, nobody can know."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC0S1HxuN7

Napahinto ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MhclAVxhV

May kausap siya.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBv1iUjy8z

Pero hindi ko marinig kung sino.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ErqOv6k0b

"The story stays the same."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNZfx6Mzch

Nanlamig ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsBDVo8hMW

The story?

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ducPbOmu

Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa pinto.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp25Icp0V7

"Stellan was responsible."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMEqk8M67

Napapikit ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfcxYckual

Parang may humampas sa akin.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4KLsqVKIF

Pero hindi pa rin ako umalis.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YHC5phvxI

Dahil may sumunod siyang sinabi.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfGA2Xd4kc

Mahina.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhnIeLvF64

Halos hindi ko marinig.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCETlkuGCms

"We already made sure of that."

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxYD5IQSLw

Napaatras ako.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBNGCkdSjR

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin noon.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eyIBtWVcQ

Pero sa unang pagkakataon matapos ang limang taon-

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWK8HaT3VE

may isang bagay akong alam.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu0BkQqemx

Hindi lahat ng alam namin ay totoo.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwbnG8ZjtE

At kung may kasinungalingang itinago ang pamilya namin...

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPx23d50gX

hindi na ako titigil hangga't hindi ko nalalaman ang katotohanan.

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N8OojeERX

57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYjzVAlPy
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSQV4DZRYY
