C62 Chapter 61

"Good evening, Mang Berting." Architect Dy said. The father nodded and took the Architect's hand as well. I also noticed the brown envelope he was holding earlier, he opened it and then took the papers and handed them to Dad. The surprise on Dad's face was obvious.

"Those are the papers that prove that the land your house stands on is not yours, we have the right to evict and demolish your house right now." Page explained by Architect Dy. My eyes widened.

"Maybe you are mistaken, we have been living here for five generations and this land is ours." Dad answered.

"No Mang Berting, you can read what's written there, here are all the documents you need to prove that you are not the owner of the land." Engineer Bautista answered and then he returned to those who were waiting with them.

"Go ahead and start demolishing the house." He added.

"Let's talk about it carefully for a moment." I stopped but they didn't seem to hear and continued, Dad chased them and begged them not to destroy our property but they still destroyed the yard that Dad and I worked hard to build.

"It's like you don't." Dad said more and then he grabbed one of the people who were destroying the yard to stop him just in case –

"Dad!" I immediately shouted how did he punch Dad so that he was lying on the grass. I immediately ran to help Dad.

"Dad." He was crying because his nose and mouth were bleeding!

"You shameless people!" I still shouted at them.

"I'm sorry Miss, we're just doing our job, talk to the owner of this land."

"What's happening?" Not far away, I heard the cry of the mother. "Let's talk about it for a moment! Don't destroy our house!" Mom said panicking.

"Mom!" I also called him worried about what if the person who works with him also falls on him and hurts him like he did to Dad, but I can't get close to him right away because Dad is not okay yet.

"The land is ours, my husband inherited it from his grandfather, so what are you talking about who owns the land? We are the owner of the land!" Mother explained further.

"My trouble again."

"Oh, Lena looks really unlucky, the couple is involved in trouble again because of her."

"Because he can beat the son of one of the rich clans here in the province." I turned to my back again and I just noticed that my neighbors and I are getting suspicious of what is happening to us and instead of helping us, they are saying bad things to me, Mom and Dad were with me but I still hoped -

"Help! Help us! Neighbors, you seem to have mercy, please I'm begging even if it's just for Mom and Dad, help us! Help us!" I cry when I tell them but they just look at me, no one has the guts to come to us or even answer me but they comment on my negative side.

"Stop that!" I heard my mother's scream and I looked at where she was standing -

"Mom!" Because he was also pushed away so that they could tear down the wall of our house. "Dad, wait a minute, I'm going to see Mom!" And then I ran to Mom. I immediately helped him to get up from lying on my lawn.

"Mom..." When he turned to look at me, he was already crying and that's how I was surprised –

"It's all your fault!" He shouted at me, my mouth fell open in shock at what Mom did.

"Mom..." And then I tried to hold her but she immediately shook my hand, my chest immediately tightened and then I cried too. Mom looked at me badly as if suddenly I didn't know her anymore.

He stood up so I stood up as well, just as I was about to approach him he himself approached me and then he slapped me.

"Odelia!" I heard Dad say more. I held my cheek which at first was very painful because of Mom's slap until my cheek gradually became numb.

"Odelia why did you do that?" Dad said, I didn't even notice that he had come closer to us. Mother pointed at me again and then she spoke angrily –

"Marry everyone! If you hadn't flirted with Señorito we wouldn't have been hot!"

"Mom –" And then I stepped to hug her but –

"Don't come near me! I'm not your son!" I'm very upset, the pain I feel is mixed and mixed from being heartbroken with Kenzo to what is happening now with Mom and Dad.

"Odelia that's right." Dad is still comforting her but it seems like Mom won't stop no matter what I say in my mind Mom is just being carried away by what she feels, I can't help but be hurt too much. Mom turned to Dad as he cried.

"We shouldn't have taken that boy then, we made a mistake. I feel like we took care of a Snake." Mom's words hurt me so much that I couldn't move from where I was standing and just cried and cried.

"Look where we're going to be picked up now! In kangngangan?" Mom said in a tired voice.

"Odelia, slow down your speech, Lena is already hurting!" Dad still restrained him.

"It wouldn't have come out if all of this hadn't happened! We were fine then, just in case of that girl!" And then Mom taught me again.

"Flirt! It's okay if it's just anyone with the same status as us in life but I don't understand why he really likes Señorito!" Mom said crying.

"You see? You see the outcome? You don't have the house that you and your father worked so hard for! We don't have anything to call a house anymore, that's all we have! It's going to be lost! It's going to be lost because of you! You're unlucky! Unlucky! You are not your father's son, you know what's true? You're just adopted! Adopted! Your father and I just picked you up from the trash! When it's really trash no matter what you do to clean it, it's still trash! You're trash! You're trash Selena!"
