Mr. Deceiver (TAGALOG R+18)

I'm really exhausted, no one really don't wanna hire me after almost a half day that I'm looking for a job. Gutom na rin ako at isang 500 pesos bill na lang ang laman ng wallet ko. I don't have anything, I lost everything. Napaupo ako sa isang bench sa loob ng isang park at hindi ko alam pero bigla na lang akong naiyak at humikbi. Sa putong 'toh, hindi ko na talaga alam ang gagawin ko at wala na akong pupuntahan, wala na akong babalikan. Pinunasan ko ang luha ko na hindi tumitigil sa pagpatak gamit ang isa sa mamahaling panyo na meron ako. I remembered everything, every words before I was kicked out in my own home. "Sorry Ms. Berlusconi, but this mansion wasn't your family's property anymore. Isinangla na ni Mr. Berlusconi ang mansion na ito sa bangko dahil sa mga utang na meron kayo." that's what the representative of the bank had told me. "What?! No! Hindi isasangla ni Daddy ang mansion na 'to! Leave me alone!" "We're very sorry for what happened to your father, Ms. Berlusconi, but we have to drag you out of this house o kami ang mawawalan ng trabaho," humarap siya sa mga police na kasama niya, "Paki-assist naman si Ms. Clara palabas." "What?! No! You can't do this to me! I am the solely daughter of Carlito Berlusconi!" They didn't let me speak, hinawakan nila ako at sapilitang kinaladkad plabas ng sarili naming pamamahay. Ibinato lang nila ang mga bagahe ko. I reached for my phone in my pocket, I tried to call my family Lawyer and good thing he picked up the phone immediately. "Hello? Atty. Landon?" "Ms. Berlusconi, how may I help you?" he asked me calmly "What's happening? Bakit pinapaalis na ako sa bahay?!" nagpapanik na tanong ko sa kaniya "Nasaan ka? I'll pick you up to confirm some things." "Nasa labas ako ng gate ng mansion. Kinaladkad nila ako palabas, I want to sue them! I believe that this is against my human rights!" I frantically said "Calm down, I'll pick you up there." I waited for him that time, he came. Pinasakay niya ako sa kotse niya at pumunta kami sa company building namin. But while in the middle of our way there, ng uusap kaming dalawa. "What happened? What did they told you?" Attorney Landon asked me My tears trail down to my cheeks all of a sudden, "They told me that my father mortgaged the mansion for his unpaid debts tapos sapilitan na nila akong inilabas sa mansion." "We have to go to the company to see what you still have in your hands. Hoping that there still some." he uttered "What do you mean, Attorney?" "You'll figure it out once we are in the company." He continued to drive until we reached the company, may ilang empliyado na nag sisiksikan sa tapat ng entrance at ang ilan sa kanila ay nakikilala ko na mga tauhan dati ni papa. Agad kaming lumapit ni Attorney Landon at nagkakagulo sila. "Papasukin niyo kami!" "Nagtatrabaho kami dito!" "Mga empliyado kami ni Sir Carlito!" That's what I heard when I arrived there, their pleads to let them in because they all work there. At hindi naman ako makakapayag na ganito. They once served for my father, they all served this company and my father with loyalty. Kaya umakyat ako sa main door kahit pilit akong pinipigil ng isang guard. "Let go of me! I own this company! Ako ang anak ni Carlito Berlusconi!" sigaw ko sa mga bagonng security guard na pumipigil sa akin na makapasok And then someone came out from the building, he's also wearing an office suit and holding a suitcase. "Greetings, Ms. Berlusconi." "Who are you?" that's what I asked him when he approached me "I am this company's new Lawyer." he answered "Ah, yes. So you're aware that I'm the owner's daughter, yeah?" I sarcastically said onto his face Pero isang ngisi ng pang-iinsulto lang ang natanggap ko mula sa kaniya. Napakulo no'n ang dugo ko pero pinanatili kong kalmado ang sarili ko. I kept myself composed and still act as professional in front of this arrogant man who's claiming that he's the new company lawyer. Paano naman 'yon mangyayari kung si Landon ang hinire ni papa na company lawyer. There's something wrong in this. Naramdaman ko ang presensya ni Landon sa tabi ko. "Yeah. I know you're Carlito Berlusconi's daughter. The late owner's daughter." He got some document in his hand and gave it to me. Title pa lamang ng dokumento ay nahuhulaan ko na, "Because now, your father or your family doesn't own this biggest oil company anymore." Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko. In that moment, I feel so paralized, I can feel my legs and it feels so weak. H-Hindi na namin pagmamay-ari pa ang BOC? "What are you talking about? I am Attorney Landon Buenaventura. I am Berlusconi Oil Company's Lawyer." "Oh, yes. I know you. Now, I'm the new company lawyer and not you anymore. So now, you are free to leave this building with your boss." mas lumaki ang ngisi niya at naramdaman ko namang kumuyom ang mga kamao ni Landon. "Who's the new owner of this company if it's nit me or my father?" matapang kong tanong sa kaniya "Well, I proudly introduce you Mr. Antonio Ignacio Juaquin." I stunned at that moment, I heared that name already and father always tell me that that Anton is one of his business partner. And now, he's the owner? How? So there's only one answer in that, he betrayed my father. "Let me talk to him!" bulyaw ko sa kaniya But this chap just shook his head and laugh as if I said something funny. "Sorry, Ms. Berlusconi, but the NEW owner is busy." he really emphasized the word 'new' and then he smiles widely, a sarcastic one when a car arrived, "Oh, there he is." he called the two security guard, "Kindly assist this two out of the way, the owner is arriving." Hinawakan kami ng dalawang security guard at kakaladkarin na sana kami nang magsalita si Landon. "Aalis kami ng kusa." that's when the security guards let go of us Sumakay kami sa sasakyan ni Landon, we're both speechless at that moment and we don't know what to say. Hanggang huminto kami sa isang ATM Machine dahil sinabi ko. "I'll just withdraw some cash so i can find myself a place to stay." He just nods as an answer Sinubukan kong ipasok ang card ko pero hindi ito nareread. I withdrew my card from the machine but again, it was in valid. Bumalik ako kay Landon at doble ang kaba dahil sa ATM. "What happened?" tanong ni Landon sa akin "Hindi tinatanggap ng Machine 'yong card ko." Nanlalamig na ako at that moment at napahilamos naman si Landon ng palad niya. "Get in, Ms. Clara. I'll call the bank." Pumasok ako ulit sa shotgun seat at siya naman ay tinawagan ang bangko. "Good morning. This is Attorney Landon Buenaventura. Berlusconi's family Lawyer. I just wanted to ask about Ms. Clara Berlusconi's account status?" Wala akong marinig sa sinasabi ng nasa kabilang linya pero tumatango-tango si Landon habang nasa tainga niya ang cellphone. Habang kinakabahan naman ako sa tabi niya ng mga oras na iyon at natatakot sa mga posibilidad na nangyari sa account ko. Ito ang kinakatakot ko sa lahat, ang mawalan ng access sa pera namin lalo na ngayon ay mag-isa na lamang ako. "Thank you so much. Yes... alright, bye." Landon already dropped the call and looked at me with dismayed look on his face, "Someone froze your account. And your trust fund is on your father's bank account now. So your bank account and your cards won't be valid anymore." I went silent for a minute and stopped myself from crying. Ngayon, paano na? Saan na ako pupunta? Mi-wala akong kakilalang kamag-anak dahil solong anak naman si papa. Where should I go? I don't know any kind of job or even house hold chores. What the f*ck is going on in my life? Is this my vengeance for being self-centered, bad attitude Berlusconi Brat? "I can't pay you anymore, Landon. You should drop me off here." Landon sighed at what I have said, "Sorry for everything that's happening to you and to your family right now. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to protect you and your father despite of everything that your family had done for me to have a better career on my path." Ngumiti lang ako ng mapait that time, "It's not actually you, Landon. It's them who betrayed my father." "You can stay with me for a while, Ms. Clara." I shook my head and just smiled, "No, I think it's already time for me to live with my own and top hiding in anybody's resources. Thank you for serving my family with faithfullnes and integrity." An smidgen amount of tears pooled Ladon's eyes but he wiped it and look at me with strength and determination, "I promise, I will do everything to know who's behind this and I'll come back with the title that belongs to your family as a gratitude for everything that your father had done." I just nod and smiles, "Until next time, Attorney Landon. Take care."
