I don’t know but my hands suddenly trembled after reading that part. How can I not feel awful about what my Father did to us. Rosalia walked towards me and hugged me tightly.
“Ray…
"I know Sis, I have read the letter you have given me. Is this really true” I asked, moving back. I looked at Rodolfo as well. He just smiled at me in response.
“Yes, Ray. What you have read there is true. She also asked me to look after you,after her passing. But since our father is very strict, I acted like I was really into what he was doing. It hurts me every time when you and big brother are being hurt by him. I wanted to drop my act, but if I don’t get enough power, how can I help you to live comfortably.” She explained, holding her tears back.
“But why did you do that? It felt like you left me alone, like I was thrown into a deep dark sea.” I said.
“I helped you a lot, also I cannot do it upfront that’s why Rodolfo also helped us behind the scenes. Father is already blinded by his wealth and power, and we need to overthrow that before our elder brother also turns like him.” She answered.
Hearing all those words made my heart feel the pain that I had before. It felt like I was being stabbed a lot of times. I stayed still, thinking of all the things that happened in the past. Then another memory flashed in my mind, and it was the kid I was talking to in the park. I was at home, and my father picked me up with his car since disapproved that I was attending a field trip.
He was so mad that he kept on telling me hurtful words, and he just drove fast. On our way back, I noticed a young group of people waiting on the other side of the road. My father talked to me and I felt something hit the car.
I was about to look outside but father stopped me to do so, and drove so fast without knowing what happened. I was so scared at that time and never peeked outside the car until we arrived at home.
I felt someone touch my shoulders, and I snapped out of that memory. “Ray, are you okay?”
It was Rosalia.
“Yes, I am okay. I think we should go home now, Rosalia. I want to rest already.” I said.
