Chapter 5 FIFTH

EVEN until the car, I can see how reddish my mom's eyes are, depicting anguish from what happened to Brent. Inclining my head down and inserted the car key and open the engine while mom started putting on her seatbelt as she was sitting beside me in the driver's seat.

I can feel how mom loves Brent. I understand all of it. For the last ten years, no one is there to comfort my mom but Brent did. Not only the love he gave but the money that my mom enjoyed the most. All the luxury, whims, or any wishes mom asks for, stepdad gives it to her fully and without hesitation.

Maybe mom just felt that there is no source of income at all since Brent is gone. I'm still not sure if we can get any single penny if Brent will give his inheritance under our name. I'm wondering if we could fully trust him. Especially how sweet Brent's words are when he mentioned the inheritance to me before.

Should I also believe that all my mom's lover, dies? I mean none of them will stay longer until mom will get her hair gray. Because most of my mom's relationship doesn't stay longer and after few years, either gone or died. My mom still looks younger for her age of forty. Anyone can mistake her because of her skin. Maybe she's still off to marry again.

We are almost reaching the house when I asked her again. "What's your plan now, mom?"

I horned the front house for the guard getting alerted as I was going to park the car inside the house.

"I still wanted to continue the lawsuit case of your father. I need to know who shot him dead. Who's the culprit behind the ambush. I want justice for Brent," she answered as she started to pat her face dry after the exuded liquid she made.

Then one of the guards vastly opens the white gate and I just drive it inside after. "Who else it would be? It must be one of his business rivals or an enemy with a personal resentment," I said as I turn the engine off and started to pack myself up and remove my seatbelt.

"That's what I wanted to find out," mom uttered. Her voice is full of determination.

I wanted to say that it is better to stop and stay quiet than meddle and implicate things. I don't want mom to get hurt, she's the only one I have right now, even how opposite we believe in things.

"Let the cops handled it, Mom," I said like it sounded an uproar opposing her thought.

Mom didn't look at me back as she removed her seatbelt and walk herself out of the car. I just made an explosive sigh. I know mom is not a person who easily surrenders, especially if she felt reasonable. But if mom is after the money, it would be better to slip it off. If Brent wanted a good life and make my mom like a queen, he would never let her work in that b*llsh*t BE Cosmetics Company that Brent owned. But he still chooses to let my Mom work as an excused. He's like a deadly disease that I wanted to burn, deeper.

When we arrived mom is like a lifeless doll. Not moving didn't even bother to eat. She's quiet as an air. She loses a life and appetite from the world that felt Brent is a big absence of her consciousness. If my mom only knew what's the real score, maybe she wanted to kill him with her own hands. If only she is...

But there is no used to talk about what he had done to me, ruining my life and innocence. What are the years counted for? After almost six years of being in a cage, I can't even find a key to unlock it. I can't scream nor cry. All I can do is abide by it and wait for the right time.

Mom is empty-head, no idea at all in what kind of world does Brent Echavez has. 'Yesterday is one's mystery but today will be Celestine's glory,' this is what I always put in my head. Thinking straight that I'm doing this right.

The happenings should not affect me. I should stand on my own and prove them wrong about Brent's real picture.

The next day, I went into the office, continuing my work as if nothing happens. I can even hear them gossiping about what I did and what had happened to Brent. They even show how relaxed they are, loosen up, and exposed it in front of everybody because their big boss is gone. Completely gone. I lifted the corner of my lips making a grin.
