Angry
"You idiot! You beast !!!" those words came immediately when Karlos saw Mang Hermano climbinpg into his house.
Because of his quick action, we only saw that he punched the old man a few times.
"Stop already!!!" cried Abel. Because it was more than Karlos, he almost tore his clothes.
Mang Hermano couldn't help but cry. I tried to hold him with both arms but he wanted to get out of there.
"I'm coming! Beat me to death!" aniya.
Carlos who seemed to be upset because he was just staring at him.
"What are you waiting for !?" Mang Hermano threatened Karlos but he came to his senses.
Even if he didn't say a word, he could feel the anger in his eyes. How his breathing with intensity and his fist ready to punch. He’s still on fire but I think he’s holding back.
Abel still held him by the arm while I did nothing to the old man's struggle.
"I'm sorry everyone! Believe me. I hope you understand. I didn't want to kill Father. I didn't want that! I just need to get my son treated"
He slowly knelt down in front of Carlos while wiping away the tears with his own arm.
He bowed. "Please forgive me"
"Mang Hermano" I call him in a low tone. I want to build him but he doesn’t want to.
"Forgive me! I didn't mean to!" its voice cracked and seemed drowned in the cold.
But the man he is apologizing to is like a stone standing. There was no other emotion on its face but anger.
Mang Hermano's lament was the only thing that could be heard as well as his repeated apology.
Turning the lock on the door I turned. The woman in her mid 40's appeared. She was wearing a simple gray dress with a shoulder bag.
When my mother and I went to them, I promised that I would tell her as soon as I found Mang Hermano.
All I know today is he has a job but he seems to be putting it off.
His job now is not to be a lawyer. He briefly stopped practicing law after the death of Uncle Erman.
All I know is that his current job is to deliver fruits to towns near El Preve.
Even though his salary was small, he persevered because it was important for him to eat three meals a day.
"Where's Hermano !?"
Like Carlos we couldn’t stop him from rushing. He hit the old man several times.
"You must be hanged upside down! Feed you to the beasts of the forest! You will die! You are indebted to the people who helped you!"
His every blow was strong. Some parts of his bag still have steel and it's made of leather so it will really slip.
"All right. You still hurt me, I don't care anymore !!!"
The old man sobbed in the middle of his crying. Aunt Flora seemed tired so her knees became soft causing her to sit on the floor.
She burst into tears, and Abel and I comforted her. I was also angry but I didn’t implement it. I am angry with the people involved in Dad’s death. But there is no point in my anger when it is too much so I calm myself as much as possible. I have to think correctly that's what I believe. I must not be confused as I think about how to fight Don Emilio and Donya Leonora.
By the time I let go of my anger I certainly couldn’t think straight.
After the three calmed down we talked about how we could beat the two Roshans in court. The resistance is enough but we need power.
We will need help Abarquez so we will go there immediately. Like the Roshans they are influential in many things but they are not used to the wrong thing. The siren of the ambulance and police car was deafening to the ears. Around the Abarquez mansion surrounded curious people.
"What's going on?" Abel preceded me to ask the woman from right near the Mayor's house.
"Grandpa !!!" moan of girl holding doll.
Her other relative was grieving as she looked at the cold corpse.
Don Mascar's wife almost died from crying so much.
"Heart attack" said the woman Abel asked. He stopped in front of us for a moment to eat an apple.
"I don't believe it was a heart attack. I used to be their housemate. The story has long been that Don Emilio really wanted to kill this Don Mascar. Why you? Don Mascar is getting stronger with people. I also heard that he wants to fight back Don Emilio in the next election. That's why it's settled "
I was just stunned by what happened to the Mayor. He is a good man. He does not politicize. They are different from the Governor. When Don Mascar has a project, he doesn't cover his face or even have his name engraved on the building just to say that people are indebted to him.
Don Emilio is different. Almost all of his projects are concentrated on his face as well as other politicians who oppose him.
"Pre, Letty texted. I need to go home. They're looking for me Mom. Are you?"
"I'll go home after this too. I can't leave Mang Hermano at Karlos' house just in case something happens to him"
We went back there again. The sorceress was the one we watched over the three of us. They don't fight because they don't urinate so I don't have to worry.
But even if they didn't fight, I was still not confident.
As I sat in the living room I recounted what had happened as if they had softened.
"We can handle this even without the Mayor. Let's just trust" I told them.
I hope that even from what I said, they came to life.
"Pre, Piper updated on Facebook. Picture you might want to see"
I smiled to see him happy while holding the pizza.
"I can say I love you in the comment box"
He started typing but I held his wrist firmly.
"Not anymore. I told you, you just comment. Do you want to?"
I sniffed at what he said.
"You know let's go home. Let's take Mang Hermano to church first"
As we rode the tricycle I could not forget Piper’s smile. Add the rest of him. I miss its kiss and hug.
Something flashed in my heart. I don't think I will experience that again.
