The DeVille Family

Chapter 5

Vince pov:

Iniwan namin sila Maria at Saphira sa mansion at si Kejin, Travis at rafael lang ang kasama ko ngayon. Hindi pa dumadating ang iba naming kasamahan mula sa iba't ibang lugar, nagkawasak-wasak kami after ng aksidente 8 years ago, ang iba sa amin ay napunta sa Paris, Nevada at Pilipinas, ako Naman ay nagstay sa mansion kasama si Maria at Kejin. Pinuntahan namin ang address na binigay ng lalaki na taga Nagasaki at pumunta sa 8th floor apartment minuto lamang ang layo sa Lucindra Hotel.

Tinanong namin sa tao na nasa labas ng apartment kung sino ang nakatira sa 4th floor room 403. "Oh, it's the Kanieda family, but Mrs. Kanieda died 4 years ago, so her daughter Misha kanieda is living alone there with her father." paliwanag ng babae na nagsisigarilyo. Umakyat kami sa 4th floor at kumatok sa room 403. "Hello, is this Misha Kanieda?" mahinahon kong katok sa pinto. Maya-maya lang ay bumukas na ang pinto at bumungad sa amin ang matandang lalaki sa wheel chair. "Oh why are you looking for Misha?" Tanong nito in Japanese. "Hi, sir we have something to say to Ms. Kanieda." sagot ni Rafael sa matanda at ngumiti. Tinitigan muna kami nito ng matagal at pinapasok na sa loob ng maliit na kwarto.

"Dad!? I told you not to move!" sigaw ng babae na kakalabas lamang sa banyo. "Um... Sorry, who are you?" tanong nito. Sinenyasan ni Boss ang babae at agad itong pumasok ng banyo at nagbihis, pagkalabas nito inalalayan Niya muna ang ama papunta sa kama. "Then, what now? What do you need?" Tanong nito. "You are the daughter of Mila Kanieda right? We heard about her, she worked once in Lucindra Hotel." sagot ni Travis. "What?? I am not her daughter! She is my auntie, her daughter died with her because of car accident. What are you talking about?" Gulat ng Tanong ng babae. "Ok miss magiging straight forward na kami sayo. Ikaw ang binigyan ng pera ng isang lalaki sa coffee shop sa harap ng Lucindra Hotel right?" seryosong Tanong ni Travis. Is that boy lying to me? I mean that boy from Nagasaki. Binigay Niya ang address pero hindi ako sure kung si Mila Kanieda ang kakampi ni Rinko. "You know about her? About my Auntie and mother?" Tanong nito sabay titig sa amin. "Ok fine, I will tell you but give me 2 reasons."

"My mother died at Lucindra Hotel, we discover that your Auntie once worked there. My mom Committed suicide, but no, she was murdered." sagot ni Travis. "I said 2 reasons, but it seems like you're desperate then I'll tell you." kinuha Niya ang nakataob na frame sa ibabaw ng Refrigerator at at pinakita ito sa amin. "This is my Auntie, this is her daughter and this is her husband. My Auntie died 4 years ago. She promised us that we could live here once she died, and so we did. They live here before us." sabay turo Niya sa picture. "2 years palang kami dito. She died because of car accident, her husband died because of lung cancer before her, her daughter committed suicide inside of her school, She jumped from 3rd floor." dagdag pa nito.

"My auntie is Mila Kanieda and my mother is Mika Kanieda, they're twin sister. They both worked in Lucindra Hotel 20 years ago but my mother left her job because she's pregnant. My father and her moved to Saporo to start a new life and that is where I was born. When my auntie died we move back here and live with my lonely cousin, Kara Kanieda. Before Kara died she shared me her secrets and gave me her bracelet. ito." sabi Niya sabay turo sa bracelet sa right hand Niya. "That guy you saw with me in that coffee shop, hindi ko Siya kilala. Pinilit Niya ako na makipagusap at nakinig nalang ako. Hindi ko sasabihin ang sinabi Niya pero we talked about cutting our connection with his boss. I don't know who he is mentioning and he gave me money. I think napagkamalan Niya ako as Kara." paliwanag nito, hindi ko at namin alam kung totoo ang sinasabi nito kaya iniba namin ang plano. "I hope you're telling the truth Miss Kanieda. We won't hurt you either your father, I just want the truth and justice." pamamaalam ni Kejin. Tumayo na kami pero pinigilan Niya kami at hinawakan ang braso ni Rafael. "I'm telling the truth, I badly need the money so I accepted it. You saw my father right? If you want some help, just meet me anywhere but not here I think they knew this place. Be careful." paliwanag nito. Tuluyan na kaming umalis at dumiretsyo sa office. "Kejin go to the mall, mag-grocery ka muna, Saphira is always hungry, the food stock in the Mansion isn't enough for her." utos ni Travis. Binaba ko si Kejin sa harap ng mall at dumiretsyo sa Company.

Saphira pov:

I woke up early in the morning and I wonder where did father went. Naiwan lang kami magisa Dito ni Maria. "Oo nga pala Saphira, You need to attend school tomorrow. It will take a lot of time before going back to your hometown with your daddy so you need to study in here muna." sambit sa akin ni Maria. "I know. We are not going back there anymore. It's boring there, I'm always alone but here madaming tao, kahit na katulong man or alalay atlis may kasama ko. Doon I'm always alone, daddy is always busy earning money." sagot ko Naman sa kaniya. "Awwww what a poor girl. Don't worry here no one will leave you alone, we will take care of you." sabi Niya sabay yakap sa akin, yumakap ako pabalik at nakipaglaro sa mga aso.

An hour later. Kejin is back pero wala pa sila daddy, just her. Pinuntahan ko Siya sa kusina na nagaayos. "Oh it's you Saphira." ngiti Niya sa akin. "Where's dad?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. "Oh they're in the Company. The company where the beauty products and medicines are." sagot Niya sa akin. "Oh I'm bored here alone, suggest what to do please." puppy eyes ko sa kaniya. "Oh haha this girl is so cute. You could walk around the Mansion libutin mo ang Mansion, puwede mo gawin Dito since you are the daughter of DeVille." sagot Niya. Ginawa ko ang sinabi Niya at lumibot sa Mansion. Nilibot ko ang pool, garage, gym, garden, at madami pang iba. Ang mansion ay maraming Silid at malalaking espasyo. Pumunta ako sa basement where the 7/11 located. Yes, this Mansion has its own 7/11, Clinic, and Gallery room located on the basement. This mansion is very big. Nilibot ko pa ang iba sa mga silid at umupo sa malaking sofa nang napagod ako. Naalala ko ang panaginip ko nang unang tulog ko Dito, bawat eksena ay m****o, ang bigat at ang lungkot sa pakiramdam tuwing naaalala ko iyon. That set where my dream was is big, it's big like how big this mansion is.

"Oh Saphira kanina pa kita hinahanap nandito kalang pala." bungad ni Maria. "Auntie Kejin suggested na lumibot ako sa buong Mansion but it's so big. Bukod sa malalaki ang bawat silid, kailangan ko ding dumaan sa mahahabang hall para makapunta and I am exhausted." reklamo ko. "Hahaha yeah this mansion is really big. By the way I will go to the school that you are going to attend tomorrow and get the things ready." sabi nito. "Don't worry Saphira that school is great I will make sure your safeness and you will have fun." dagdag pa nito. Yes! Maybe this is my chance, my chance to start having fun. I am going to be a good student for fun! I will explore Japan whenever I'm free but, I'm not allowed to go alone maybe it's ok to bring someone with me. I will find someone to be with me. I will start a new life here, I will join daddy. I will ruin sadness and kiss my life! Bukas ko sisimulan ang lahat, ako ay isang DeVille the Gangsters the DeVille! dadalhin ko ang pangalan na iyan kahit Saan.

Daddy went here dahil sa sinasabi nilang problema. Maybe I could help? I will show daddy na hindi lang ako isang Anak ng DeVille, if hindi Nila ako tanggap dati gagawa ako ng paraan pero hindi para tanggapin ako. Right now hindi ko iisipin ang mga sinasabi ng tao, iisipin ko lagi ang sarili ko. I will make them proud of me. Be with me DeVille.

Naglakad ako papunta sa pool nang madapa ako dahil sa nakaharang na upuan. "Aray!! that really hurts!!" sigaw ko sabay suntok sa upuan. Tumayo ako at nagpagpag ng dumi mula sa damit ko. Pagkatayo ko nakita ko agad ang itim na tela na nakapalibot sa parang frame, winahig ko ito at nakita ko ang painting ng isang babaeng black ang buhok at light green ang mata katulad ko. "Woah! Who's this beautiful girl?" Tanong ko. "Ehem Young Miss, she's the legendary Agatha DeVille. The Queen of Madness. They also says that she is the prophet of Ares, the God of War. She is Agatha DeVille also known as the Devil's child." sagot ng lalaki na dumating sa nalang bigla bigla sa likuran ko. "Hi i am Andy Farreth." pakilala nito sabay ngiti sa akin. "Hi, I am Saphira DeVille." pakilala ko din sa kaniya. Ang gwapo! Ang katawan Niya ay parang laging nasa gym, ang muka jawline Niya ay kitang kita at maugat din ang braso. "Deville? Saphira? Sapphire?" pagtataka niyang Tanong. "Y-Yeah." sagot ko Naman Dito. Bigla akong tumakbo at pumunta agad kay Maria noong hindi Siya nakalingon sa akin.

"Oh Saphira may problema ba?" alalang Tanong ni Maria sa akin. Umakyat ako sa sofa na inuupuan Niya sa sala at nagtago sa likod Niya. "I saw a man Infront of the Agatha DeVille painting. He said his name is Andy Farreth." sumbong ko sa kaniya. "Ahh, he's Andy Farreth the Chef of the Mansion, don't worry Saphira he's nice, and he's cool too. He only use kitchen tools as his weapon isn't that cool?" sabi sa akin ni Maria. "Really? Then that's cool. Ilan pa ba sa kanila ang hindi ko nakikita?" Tanong ko dahil pakiramdam ko sobrang dami Nila, dad told me not to trust anyone that's why I'm doubting. "We are actually 12, when Travis left Japan nagkawasak-wasak kami after the accident 8 years ago then Travis left and they all left the Mansion tatlo nalang kami Nila Vince at Kejin ang naiwan sa Mansion, minsan dinadalaw kami ni Rafael." paliwanag Niya sa akin. "This world is really interesting." bulong ko sa harap Niya. "By the way Maria, can you tell me that Agatha DeVille?" pakiusap ko sa kaniya, nakatitig lang Siya sa akin at parang nagaalangang sagutin ang Tanong ko. Who's Agatha DeVille?

"Saphira I would like to tell you anything but not her. That legend, that history, that period. All about her history was hidden by all including Government and even Passers. That history was forgotten by some of the Archeologist. I'm so sorry, all I can tell you is she is the Devil's child, she looks like you." paliwanag Niya. Totoo iyon kamuka ako ng nasa painting, especially her eyes and lips. How dangerous is this Agatha? I want to know about her, can I? "Don't make your curiosity eat you. This time is not about her anymore." dagdag pa ni Maria sa akin. "Ok, but you know who is Agatha right?" muli kong Tanong sa kaniya. "Yes, yes we all do. All the child of Villious Generation." ngiti Niya sa akin sabay Tayo. "Uh- Saphira let's buy some clothes online parang kahapon mo pa Kasi suot iyang damit mo." tawa Niya sa akin. Hala oo nga, nakalimutan ko wala pala akong dinalang damit because I expected na may time sa akin si daddy para mamili Dito sa Japan.

"Hello hello hello! the Cooking Master is back!!"
