PART 22 — MANANG'S SECRET
No Plagiarism!YsLVqyooirxJVzIghi6Aposted on PＥNAＮＡ 76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr1bVa2TSK

P.O.V - STEPHANIE

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIhQ4fOPgD

Hindi ko maalis sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Manang.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8c6KqkjFk

"May nakita po akong lumabas sa storage room."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cW1aMlQO

At ngayon, alam na naming may taong naroon bago nangyari ang lahat.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMB42cVqIt

Pero may isang bagay na hindi ko maintindihan.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1BFyxAehF

Kung nakita niya ang taong iyon-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPfrA5tXpn

bakit limang taon siyang nanahimik?

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyNP3vWnqF

THE NEXT MORNING

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde2E3EAIqP

Maaga akong bumaba.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DwcsZyhUw

Wala si Dad.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBVBM098e

Wala rin si Clifford.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgB1Jkwls2

Si Ate lang ang nasa dining area.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWwBFvOmqI

Nang makita niya ako, agad siyang tumingin sa paligid.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsVpBKyjRl

"Where's Manang?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyiycSM3Iq

"Hindi ko pa siya nakikita."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm44gsgt7if

Tumango siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfpSuae3F2

"We need to talk to her."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpIDN69Hyw

"I know."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BwHwnwuTH

Sandali kaming natahimik.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeCS3sFbvw

"Ate..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8NOQ6eA4B

"Hmm?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmRoEuFCtV

"What if she's hiding something from us?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV2cgpiANu

Napatingin siya sa akin.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Fic6n1tJ

"Then we'll find out."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJgyBrQHU

Simple.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC5QjKNWgn

Pero determinado.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F1HP3y9D5

THE KITCHEN

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkr85FdmWp

Maya-maya, nakita namin si Manang.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9XaMZJkZ

Nakatayo siya sa kusina.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcADHUBtfcb

Pero nang makita niya kami-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpqhLwD0b9

bigla siyang tumigil.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA9JX7IH9J

"Young Lady..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBamdars4E

"Manang."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovAlbCp827

Lumapit kami.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaxCTd4RNi

"May kailangan po kaming itanong."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwF79dP1Fd

Napayuko siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18bjZGseeP

"Tungkol sa gabing iyon?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH2rZtwwZF

Tumango ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEVlSu3Arv

"Opo."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkAPzGCDDU

Mahabang katahimikan.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JEaYVIDsC

Hanggang sa inilapag niya ang hawak niyang tasa.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUc2fcXodS

"Alam ko na pong darating ang araw na ito."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FtmnYgiux

Napatingin ako kay Ate.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJ62vQRUx

"What do you mean?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0VGW5mJlX

Umupo siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTutyhy1OHT

"May hindi ko po sinabi sa inyo."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAt9Q5hxWF

FIVE YEARS AGO

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0Jm7uvs7

"Manang!"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJpV3HA1zS

Napalingon ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSShIe3Wr6U

Si Stephanie.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqQcZI5Rw2

Nanginginig.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGfSFBX70D

May luha sa mata.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9skAiFPv

"Please help Ate!"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ6dxJMqlp

Tumakbo ako papunta sa hallway.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgkhoHkHHY

Nakita ko si Shairah sa sahig.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CIY6ju4EI

Si Stephanie ay nakaluhod sa tabi niya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVR94UEhQ7

"Ate! Please!"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ2iS21e2F

"Young Lady!"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5pUbXzcdg

Lumapit ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDRlLK6uw3

Pero bago ko pa maabot si Shairah-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5dmK68yWG

may narinig akong yabag.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicMwulvUCp

Tap.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYrgmeqPt

Tap.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQYeXrLgfH

Tap.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZdakE7fOP

May taong paparating.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4q6ZvTCi

Napalingon ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7D4tsK8B

Si Clifford.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZv9eRfBg

Nakatayo siya sa dulo ng hallway.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHYjmRpZgT

Tahimik.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cM4hnKsVf

Hindi siya tumulong.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvhZF9vfFf

Hindi rin siya nagsalita.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3iHS3tp3D

Tinitigan lang niya si Shairah.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQttqIDcKpi

At pagkatapos-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajNX2OCEvQ

may sinabi siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9PgF7ynXi

"You didn't see anything."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2386i5xCfO

Nanigas ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThzChaAY8R

"What?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYedKKyBl8

Lumapit siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WNH7jQ3Ua

"You didn't see anything."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDKUCR2zGS

"Young Master..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p8xJVLRxR

"If Master asks..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOno0a9kjWK

Tumigil siya sa harap ko.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvt1cAexgv

"...you saw nothing."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIuSBWXkFc

Hindi ako nakasagot.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3el7X6s1j

PRESENT

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8393zujrZx

Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa mesa.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xjpT67LdN

"He threatened you?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sDvci2eC

Umiling si Manang.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhXvr3opx6

"Hindi po direkta."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXcP9nnN0Y

"Then why were you afraid?" tanong ni Ate.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXAly7gM3y

Tumingin siya sa amin.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln1OAO4Cvx

"Dahil may sinabi siya pagkatapos."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW80JxZ6OBM

Tahimik.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2tEgFnACD

"Ano?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcfXMP0xgM

Huminga siya nang malalim.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5FuM2WvnV

"He said, 'If you tell them what you saw, Stephanie will be next.'"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNwHjHmKuZ

Nanlamig ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Jr6Q9noe

Napatingin ako kay Ate.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNpF03GaX1

Pareho kaming hindi nagsalita.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSbh0HockK

P.O.V - SHAIRAH

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeH8NyadmG

"Manang..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7jSpCX1M4

Mahina ang boses ko.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggThWIVNn

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa amin?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0wojDFCEL

Namasa ang mga mata niya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyfftfQ1vX

"Dahil natakot po ako."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ubrTOaxad

"Five years..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHrK69seOl

Nanginginig ang boses ko.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQdle29H9q

"Five years akong galit kay Stephanie."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0IK8MNvYI

Napayuko siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqMjPA1E7J

"I know."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqKl44e5Mq

"Limang taon kong inisip na siya ang dahilan kung bakit ganito ako."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi5mHkKrFu

Tahimik.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8y3gZRneJ

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE2hCFXoSU

Hindi siya agad sumagot.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zm5I8U05

"Dahil noong gabing iyon..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5QjboBEuk

Huminto siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTM6njAGnU

"...may isa pa akong nakita."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ZyyfiUYw

Nanlamig ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz39scsrJdq

"Who?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCnUJnuIWw

Tumingin siya sa akin.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTUCmEPlw

"Si Master."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE4LEXB1el

Dad.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g2rcG1LHl

"Pagkatapos kayong dalhin sa ospital..."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwmzrk2Z0A

"...bumalik siya sa hallway."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM2NQjKuCR

"Mag-isa?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1SIrMcK9v

Tumango siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNMHkGKWyW

"At may hawak siyang maliit na envelope."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rb46sXbmV

Napatingin ako kay Stephanie.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2aCtJsf8S

"What was inside?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJhd3W9O6Y

Umiling siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8zAZ81fHE

"Hindi ko po alam."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1oPi302oN

"Then what did he do?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXIbbqciHk

Mahina niyang sagot:

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCfGnbZaqf

"Pumasok siya sa storage room."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlamSa3i8vW

Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxg8mgYNzs

The same storage room.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU7Mi11mBu

P.O.V - STEPHANIE

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGiaEbgHKy

"Then he knows about S-17."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVlb5drQt

Tumango si Manang.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKheNgGE2Y

"Opo."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku3gApt1sG

"And Clifford?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyholsmOu4X

"Alam din po niya."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HmhKL2tnf

Tahimik.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2b9gPeFqh

Napatingin ako sa susi sa mesa.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNLTAWskWE

"So both of them knew about that room."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSZ1yExC2y

Hindi sumagot si Manang.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy7pfFaKiB

Pero bago pa ako makapagtanong-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjjXGeB1uK

may narinig kaming tunog mula sa hallway.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeW7k9XUa1

Tok.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvTsCZdcO

Tok.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz7LnZYN4c

Tok.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIo7CKC3j8

Napatingin kami.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxruRRwo5Q

May anino sa ilalim ng pinto.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADb5G3BWz

May taong nakatayo sa labas.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sonwX4gM2

"Manang."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwuHw5s0QQ

Boses ni Dad.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJgz1HGZFt

Nanigas siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z6w4BbYif

"Why are you telling them this?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFcu8r81Fy

Walang sumagot.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQg8gJzALw

Dahan-dahang bumukas ang pinto.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwudHBL2RRR

Nakatayo si Dad.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2gNgC5NpJ

Tahimik.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCxGhdS7c5

Malamig ang mukha.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUfwFsVc3O

"I think it's time we stop talking about the past."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCifeefB4

Napatingin ako sa kanya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF6VqpmGmN

"Why?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqhcUe9sb

Hindi siya sumagot.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZsKGnB0hg

"Are you afraid we'll find something?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYPEIpr5DN

Biglang nagbago ang expression niya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPk0TfUq6T

"Stephanie."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP5MuFIqeF

"What are you hiding?"

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbzvE40nFa

Lumapit siya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OtyF6dRiI

Pero humarang si Shairah.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVgG4B9HwX

"Don't."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxYsd7EpCi

Tumingin si Dad sa kanya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAeu0lRX2A

"Move."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi6uAsybUo

"No."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM6VUtAaBf

Unang pagkakataon matapos ang limang taon-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9tpPA0rzJ

tumayo si Shairah sa pagitan namin.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ1dK7akj5

Hindi para sisihin ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGaCuYVsDd

Hindi para protektahan ang sarili niya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALYr35Tzdq

Kundi-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSMOEjoMOG

para protektahan ako.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy7J53Oi1U

"You had five years to tell us the truth."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbbK9wiJtO

Malamig ang boses niya.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7It1gHQBt

"Now it's our turn to find it."

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzAoj6mEI7

Tahimik si Dad.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCLSoxraUG

At sa mukha niya-

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04xLHCj6Ip

may nakita akong bagay na hindi ko kailanman nakita noon.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFlpITIunq

Fear.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtYbaZskot
