Entry No. 51 Helga - the black sheep 2

"Helga is a rotten fruit of my father's unfaithfulness," kuwento ni Sir Vladimir nang napagod sa kakapilit buksan ang bintana at pinto ng van na kinalalagyan nila.

"She was 12 years old when her mother died. My father have no choice but to bring her to our London home, to avoid scandal. Since my father made a promise on Helga's mother before she died. We practically grew up together, me my two brothers and two sisters. She is eight years olderr than me. We treated her fair and square. Her nanny and mine are both Filipinos, that's why i speak Filipino very good."

"She was pleasant at the beginning. Until we reached our teens. She will cut classes and go out with friends. Hang out with unpleasant people all the time. She will ran away from home and only to comeback very thin and hooked with drugs. My father moved her to the Philippines when she was 27. She was tasked to manage one of our business until it was discovered that Helga was using the factory as a front to her prohibited drug dealings. My father cannot bear what she had become so he decided to put her in a rehabilitation in England away from her connections." putloy ang kwento habang si Pam ay kampanteng nakikinig at patuloy sa paghanga sa maamong mukha ni Vladimir. "After three years, my father was convinced by Helga's complete recovery. But after two years she was caught again doing drugs and selling them. My father ask the government to put her to jail to teach her a lesson. But after three months my good father release her from jail since he cannot bear his feelings towards my sister. But after three months of release, she was on it again selling drugs and into white slavery." parang hindi na yata matatapos ang kasamaan talaga ni Helga, naisip ni Pam habang nakikinig kay Sir Vladimir.

"My father is a good man. He let us learn what is the value of money by working hard for it. I was lucky I started as a Manager. My brothers and sisters started as clerks in one my father's businesses they earned their masters' as a working student. Now each of them owns their own company with proven track record in the business of their chosen industry. All of their companies are integrated of course. To make it even stronger." napapangiti siya habang nagkwekwento nang biglang nag bago ang anyo niya ng nabanggit niya ang pangalan ng kapatid. "But Helga. Helga is different. She is a complete opposite to all of us. After my father discovered that she's into drugs again. He cut all her allowances and freeze all bank accounts. Now to get even with my father, she will devise something to extract money from us. Like she was hospitalized with a dreaded disease, send us a ransom note that she was kidnapped and other ridiculous stuffs." pagtatapos niya na may bakas na galit sa mukha.

"Boss i saw two ladies earlier. They were tied down by the kidnappers up front. They said they are getting tired of her. I just didn't know if its your sister," paliwanag ni Pam.

"Are you sure? What does she look like?" tanong ni Sir Vladimir na parang nabuhayan ng loob. "But if what you said is true then we are in grav danger since these kidnappers are for real. I am sure that my sister would not hurt me. I don't know about these guys," biglang nawalan ng pag-asa ang itsura ni Sir Vladimir.

Huminto ang sasakyan.

Narinig nilang bumukas ang dalawang pinto sa harapan at sumara. Naririnig nilang sinususian ang trangka ng pinto nila. Napayakap si Pam kay Sir Vladimir ng bumukas ang pinto sabay napasigaw ito nang "Ay!"
