PART 8 — THE FIRST CRACK

P.O.V - SHAIRAH

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rhQG3Qqxm

Hindi ako makatulog.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxY1g3WJab

Tahimik ang buong kwarto.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve5p8GLWLP

Naririnig ko ang mahinang paghinga ni Stephanie mula sa sofa.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLsJbUbTGq

Pero hindi iyon ang dahilan kung bakit gising pa ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCaf9WLUYW

May kung anong bumabagabag sa isip ko.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSPIFsCSWA

Something felt wrong.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nY0t0Og7U

Simula nang umuwi ako-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RPRHvhtgR

parang bawat sulok ng bahay na ito ay may itinatagong kuwento.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCXZoYlMQ3

At mas nakakatakot?

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BqU6AMT6A

Parang lahat kami ay may kanya-kanyang bersyon ng katotohanan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsZtr9NhYG

Napatingin ako kay Stephanie.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivyWHMxnM

Natutulog siya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrHYrDCNpp

Mukhang pagod.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdLG3QgMFR

Mukhang bata pa rin.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiHIAqL8LU

For a moment...

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz1fXhEv5f

nakita ko ulit yung little sister na kilala ko.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wR89Dl9WR

Yung batang sumusunod sa akin kahit saan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp3qvg6GZc

Yung batang takot matulog mag-isa.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3MVmiFPwY

Yung batang lagi akong tinatawag na Ate.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJuMRCZpfR

Pero nang maalala ko ang mga nangyari...

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0UofQROV

napapikit ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVlTINe8t1

I can't just forget.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYx31YOmjn

Hindi pa.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIms8e1A3k

Hindi pagkatapos ng lahat.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaY4Yp6mhx

THE NEXT MORNING

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgE1LnYGQh

Nagising ako sa tunog ng mga plato sa kusina.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJldcOBeh1

Dahan-dahan akong bumangon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl4lstoa7D

Wala si Stephanie sa sofa.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIwmtC90v

Napatingin ako sa paligid.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrE52JXQXe

Baka nasa banyo.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZvDf7Hx7

Tumayo ako at kinuha ang tungkod ko.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuXCLR6Oas

Tok.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yIHXXNQzR

Tok.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFESUH1lLHy

Tok.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhqkL3pjNS

Paglabas ko ng kwarto-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA02iEoCtU

may narinig akong mga boses mula sa hallway.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefNcNblLsP

Si Dad.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVKWhipwOE

At si Manang.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VViIboROL

Hindi ko sinasadyang marinig ang usapan nila.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKCqrFU5XG

"Sigurado ka bang walang nakakaalam?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8XoOrc4W5

Napahinto ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGe7vfEDOU

"Opo, Master."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2dzsjsWG

Tahimik sandali.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZwI85wA8G

"Good."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHf5pUeV3u

Napatigil ang kamay ko sa tungkod.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsjhM9vjxu

What are they talking about?

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgiVFYrfb2

Lumapit ako nang kaunti.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3VmzGdJqK

Pero bago ko pa marinig ang kasunod-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrdKJyqea5

may bumukas na pinto.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKNBz8Ck9u

Napalingon ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5AzfLEJ3M

Si Dad.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwzfWnRN3U

Nagkatinginan kami.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArlEqDmHP7

"Shairah?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGPVgdsf5U

Mabilis niyang itinago ang hawak niyang cellphone.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEU47EW4OX

"Gising ka na pala."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJCATAQIm9

Tumango ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGWQsWYTc

"Opo."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2uDBJotTm

May kakaiba sa kilos niya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX75WKzjO5V

"May kailangan po kayo?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWqGHJsUEL

"Wala."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUq7Chwu7l

Ngumiti siya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IxTV2nSSn

Pero hindi umabot sa mata niya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy9tQumzvL

"Pumunta ka na sa baba. Naghihintay na ang almusal."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ESR0nfkij

Tumango ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie951HsfRn

"Okay."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKNwdj9UhT

Naglakad ako pababa.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueRsZLQ6jl

Pero hindi na mawala sa isip ko ang narinig ko.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiKwZ4gauD

"Sigurado ka bang walang nakakaalam?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUHEpg9ddd

Walang nakakaalam ng ano?

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rTjc62zKU

Pagdating ko sa dining area-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyLfjDApbV

nandoon na si Clifford.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGi0J2CXKQ

Tahimik siyang kumakain.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF6kJsIbuK

Nang makita niya ako, tumingin siya sa akin.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeDkEP9FF9

"Good morning."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIA3Y5rFnb

Hindi ako sumagot agad.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbYyX503k6

Umupo ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mF5MqZ4Sd

"Morning."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCQvetkOAr

Tahimik kaming dalawa.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSzzrdnm4i

Hanggang sa may napansin ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0me38I33E

May maliit na marka sa kamay niya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKkPVYSs7o

Parang lumang sugat.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tINi0pzpi

Napatingin siya sa kamay niya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k9morbxL1

Napansin niyang nakatingin ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mlENLZgFi

Agad niya itong itinago.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk7VOKCdjb

"What?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6tFY4Oyrd

Umiling ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoVxi082oj

"Nothing."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSmDW9Aec6

Pero may kung anong bumalik sa isip ko.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgr97Oe7pb

Isang alaala.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE0InAANei

Isang gabi.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ970JI4P5uC

Isang sigawan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSg8rqsubO

At isang taong hindi ko kailanman nakalimutan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG3PunzOhZ

Stellan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkdED3daMZ

Napayuko ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iDqUR4mjf

Hindi ko alam kung bakit.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG2MgzdWDf

Pero sa loob ng limang taon-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGmzYUESP

may isang bagay na hindi ko kailanman naitanong.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl2taTVaYH

What if he was telling the truth?

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNe4vNG2Sc

Agad kong inalis ang isip na iyon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1kYOyGHPs

Hindi.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDhLbWdR5L

Hindi ko dapat isipin iyon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQZllHLidM

Dahil may nakita ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzNqSDbqMW

May narinig ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpsV1uFu9o

At may mga taong nagsabing-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBV2bM0ldv

siya ang may kasalanan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsAKcUJzx

Pero...

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX6yZPp0zl

bakit parang may kulang?

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ7qcSIJHn

LATER THAT DAY

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUXiNYQzPl

Nasa library ako nang makita ko ang isang lumang kahon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fe2laLfGP

Nakatago sa pinakailalim ng cabinet.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTaVCjEFyj

May alikabok.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOPOxoIR1C

May maliit na label.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsfcwk7hIT

VILLARREAL FAMILY - 2019

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7a9EgmxI7

Napatingin ako rito.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVow0YRyevk

Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang may humihila sa akin para buksan iyon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYIWkVqAWn

Dahan-dahan kong hinila ang kahon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMI75DokMR

May mga lumang litrato.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV088Ma9oO

Mga dokumento.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQVTQWrUj8

Mga sulat.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyS2WgWUQW

At isang litrato naming magkakapatid.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFLF5Uisy

Ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJptE2vq97e

Si Stephanie.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7YgwHxaAV

Si Stellan.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gnfeVoQJX

At si Sean.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvOuugIM6s

Nakatingin kaming lahat sa camera.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaSiIfcXqC

Masaya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsHpyTTvqo

Buong-buo.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ubVWEtpm

Napangiti ako nang bahagya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPlh3sNGfc

We really were happy.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYkZffxrEh

Hanggang sa may napansin ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9JluUUbMY

May isang papel na nakasingit sa ilalim ng litrato.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqmTIxYC45

Kinuha ko iyon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWUlK9dnTS

Binasa ko ang unang linya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EMNRGFiSF

Nanlamig ako.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh59xEdqkR6

Hindi ko naituloy.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMsR1WMRt7

Dahil sa mismong sandaling iyon-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPATmOiIr3J

may narinig akong boses sa likod ko.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV66leNN7X

"You shouldn't be looking at that."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos03oSsqe4

Dahan-dahan akong napalingon.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmu71IPerh

Nandoon si Clifford.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bx8cGd8wa

Tahimik.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG6PoiDAWk

Nakatingin sa hawak kong papel.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wqcqL5lT3

"Why?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfBYlqGzAI

Hindi siya sumagot.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqlEfSpQad

Lumapit siya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7UUdRBT8

"Because some things are better left in the past."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j8GYbh10E

Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa papel.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU6QxTf9ZZ

"That's what everyone keeps saying."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzLGJrVhDn

Tumingin ako sa kanya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUzMhn5THp

"But nobody tells me why."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZbwove1C

Nanatili siyang tahimik.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYVSlgzFcS

At sa unang pagkakataon-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfORwrqctrq

nakita ko ang takot sa mga mata niya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGBqIR5YX3

Hindi galit.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgcYcsrWhs

Hindi guilt.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrgDaymPI6

Takot.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNIn4nHRoi

At doon ko naisip-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIL86GbL2W

Maybe the past isn't buried.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt47uyegHmY

Maybe someone is just making sure we don't dig it up.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr48mAxitTw

Dahan-dahan kong ibinaba ang papel.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhbOMVVr5P

Pero bago ako tuluyang makaalis-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyasRTPDqfp

tumingin ako sa kanya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz4bOgl0AT

"Clifford."

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW8xq2bbTZ

"What really happened that night?"

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSU6ubTc4S

Hindi siya sumagot.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEc1kwNtAs

At sa katahimikang iyon-

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkNk47F2rQ

alam kong may alam siya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejyxBpvIj3

Something.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyycz27dPk

At marahil...

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfjzM4fRM1

iyon ang unang bitak sa kasinungalingang tinawag naming pamilya.

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qac6ZsnwF

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImDbtb2lZv
