What will happen tomorrow is really hard to foresee. And more that you don't know who really the enemy is.

Sometimes, we tend to trust people because of what they are showing to you. But behind that, there's a monster that they are trying to cage when they are with you.

"Your brother, what is his name?" While we are eating, Justin asked a question.

"Ashtonn Caddel," I answered when I finished drinking my water.

Napansin kong napatigil siya sa pagnguya. Bakit? Kilala ba niya si kuya?

"Do you know my brother?"

"You should ask him."

"Why do I need to ask him if you can answer my question?" I fired back. Ang dami nang lihim ni kuya sa akin. Gusto kong malaman lahat para kahit papaano ay mas maipaglalaban ko siya.

Pero paano ako lalaban kung sabay-sabay na umaatake sa akin ang mga kalaban? Ang mga problema? Ang mga sekreto? Paano ako lalaban sa mundong puno ng sikreto at kasinungalingan?

"It's not my story to tell. But I can help you find out something about your brother," after he said that, he stood up from his sit and started tapping in his phone.

I look at Austin who is looking at me too. He held my hand and softly touch it. It's like he's calming me. Little did he know that only his presence, it can already make me calm.

"Trust your brother," tumango ako sa kanya bago kami sumunod kay Justin na pumunta sa sala ng bahay niya.

"She'll be right here in a minute," Justin announce and I only nodded. Sino ang tinawagan niya?

Tahimik lang kami sa sala nang dumating ang sinasabi ni Justin.

I noticed that there's no maid in here. Maybe he doesn't want to have one.

"Gisele," pagtawag ni Justin sa babae na dumating. She's pretty and I guess, she's in her early thirties?

"Is she the sister of Ashtonn?" Justin nodded and motioned his hand to offer the single sofa to the woman named Gisele.

"It's great to see you here, Miss Caddel,"

"Alexandria," I said as I offer my hand and she accepted it for a shake hands.

"So, what do you want to know?"

Ano nga ba ang nais kong malaman tungkol sa kapatid ko? Marami. Alam kong maraming sikreto si Kuya sa akin. Pero bakit kailangan pa niyang e sikreto sa akin? Kapatid niya ako 'diba?

Gusto kong mainis kay Kuya. Gusto ko siyang sumbatan. Pero hindi ko magawa kasi alam kong dahil sa akin din lahat. Ako din ang rason kung bakit marami siyang lihim, pati na ang pamilya namin.

"What's your connection to my brother?" Nagkatinginan sila ni Justin na tila ba tinatanong sa isa't isa kung sasabin sa akin o hindi.

"Do you really want to know from us? Or do you want to know from him?" Kung ako lang, gusto ko na galing mismo ang mga impormasyong malalaman ko kay Kuya. Pero hindi na ako makapaghintay. Gusto ko'ng malaman ang ilan sa mga hindi masabi-sabi sa akin ni Kuya.

"Tell me." Gisele sighed before leaning her back at the backrest of the sofa.

"He is the former messenger of our organization."

Kulang ang gulat para ipakita ang emosyon na naramdaman ko ngayon.

My brother was a former agent? Is that what they are trying to say? How? How did he ended up to be like that? And why would my brother be an agent for an organization?

Ano ang rason niya para sumali?

"What do you mean messenger?" With all the curiosity in my eyes, I asked Gisele.

"He will be the one to deliver the crucial informations to each divisions. And he is the only one who's allowed to tell everything to Macaria." Mas sumakit ang ulo ko dahil sa impormasyon na sinasabi ni Gisele sa akin.

"If you're wondering who's Macaria," Justin interrupted as he elegantly sip on his wine glass.

"She is the main head. That's all I can say," he said, shrugging.

Hindi lang ordinaryo ang naging trabaho ni Kuya sa ilalim ng organisasyon nila Justin. Kuya, bakit ang dami mong sikreto sa amin? Sa akin?

"Bakit nasabi niyo kanina na former na si Kuya?"

"He quit. Only Macaria knows his reason."

Sa buong pag-uusap naming lahat kanina ay mas dumadami pa ang mga katanungan ko kay Kuya.

Alam ba nila mama ang lihim ni kuya noon? O baka hindi? Dahil sariling desisyon iyon ni Kuya? Hindi ko alam!

May mga katanungan pa ako tungkol sa mga nais pumatay sa amin ni Kuya. Mga katanungan sa pagkamatay ng mga magulang at kapatid namin. Alam kong dadami pa ang mga tanong sa isip ko sa mga susunod na araw.

Gustong-gusto ko nang tanungin si Kuya tungkol sa mga sikreto niya sa akin pero kailangan ko munang malaman kung sino ba talaga ang mga lalaking humahabol at nais pumatay sa akin. Hindi lang sa akin kundi si Kuya din.

Hindi pa ba talaga sapat ang mga buhay ng magulang namin kasama na ang kapatid namin? Ang desperada naman nilang mapatay kaming lahat sa pamilya.

"Alexandria," akala ko kung sino na ang tumawag sa pangalan ko, iyon pala ay si Austin lang. Pinili ko kasing mapag isa sa garden ng bahay ni Justin.

"Hmm?"

He went to me and sat to my side. I am silently looking at the beautiful flowers in front of us. They are so great to see.

Nabigla ako nang maramdaman kong may dumamping kung ano sa uluhan ko. It's Austin, he kissed me in my head.

Niyakap niya ako na tila ba ipinaparating na hindi niya ako iiwan. I smiled before I hugged him back.

"It's gonna be alright," I slowly nodded as a response.

"Justin wants to tell you something. Come on,"

Sumunod ako sa kanya na walang sinasabi.

Isa lamang ang namumutawi sa isip ko ngayon at iyon ay kausapin si Kuya tungkol sa lahat. Hindi ko maaaring matanong si Macaria dahil una ay hindi ko siya kilala at pangalawa, hindi ko alam kung saan siya hahagilapin. Sobrang nakakahiya na kung hihingi pa ako ng tulong kay Justin ay Gisele.

Pagdating namin sa sala kung nasaan si Justin ay agad akong sumunod na umupo katapat ng single sofa na inuupuan ni Justin ngayon.

"I traced them using the chip I personally installed to their vehicles," Justin started and probably talking about those men who tries to kill me.

"And luckily, it leads me to another evidences and culprits. I'm not sure of you'll be happy to know about this or not. But for me, you deserve to know the truth." Justin breathes heavily as he massage his temples.

"I just hope that you'll trust him still,"

I can't point out what he's talking about. I had too much information for today. I don't think I can bare another information again but I should.

He then taps on his laptop before he gave it to me. At first, all I can see is men's faces whom to be those who tries to kill me. And then suddenly the video changed. It is like a CCTV footage but webcam video. Argh, I don't know too much about computers.

What the fuck? What is this?

Tell me that I am just dreaming. Tell me that I am just hallucinating. I can't accept this. Why?

"I..."

"I..."

"I don't b-believe this," nag-unahang tumulo ang mga luha ko habang nakatingin sa screen.

"Why of all people? Why?" I slowly turned to look to Austin. My eyes began to form tears that causes my eyes to get blurry.

"No, this can't be,"
