[Kaijin Del Mundo]
"Investigate about Wang Sisters." Sambit ko habang nakaupo sa opisina at nakaharap sa bintana.
"As much as possible, Call some Enforce Duty to spy their moves." If there's anything that I can do for her... Sigurado kong ito ang natatanging paraan. Kung sino man ang dalawang magkapatid na 'yon ay sinusigurado kong may kasalanan sila kay Airish. My girl wouldn't be so angry if they didn't do anything to her.
"Yes Sire." It's been a while since I came in this office of mine. It's been months since I visited my place in here. I wonder if I'm still used at handling things like this...
"Yo Kaijin! Back to business na ba ulit?" His timing is always perfect. "It's been a while since I handle this group. Do you want to continue?" Hindi ko maikakailang magaling sa technology ang lalaking ito. He's one of my hackers and my best virus programmer so far.
"So we're back in business." Umupo siya ng maayos bago tumingin sakin. "Can I know why?" Looks like I can't just make him agree that easily...
"It's because I want to protect her." No one can ever harm her. Tama, hindi dapat siya nasasaktan. I prefer to see her smile than to cry. They don't even deserve her tears.
"But being back in business means your willing to take the risk. Alam na ba ng Dad mo na hinahawakan mo na ulit ang Enforce Duty?"
"You know that we're not Illegal. And Dad wants me to continue his path. So I'm just following his orders. Itatatag ko ulit ito dahil gusto ko siyang maprotektahan." Call me cheezy but I'm just doing my best to protect her.
I can't let anyone touch or harm her. She's too precious for me...
"Talagang naadik ka na." I can't deny that fact.
"She's my kind of drugs that I didn't mind to overtake." And whoever take my drugs will be thrown in the pits of hell.
"Anong plano?"
"Gusto kong alamin mo kung sino si Euwan." That jerk... Just who the hell is he? Bakit naiirita si Airish kapag binabanggit ang pangalan niya?
"I'll hand you the informations when I'm done with it. Mahirap ang pinapagawa ko lalo na pangalan lang ang binigay mo." I can always count on him.
"Did you heard the news about Xerxes?"
"What about him?" I'm just asking. It's not like I have feelings towards him. I already give my attention to her after all.
"He has a girlfriend. He's straight now." Well that's good to hear. "And you know what's the biggest news?"
Tinignan niya ako ng seryoso habang inilagay ang paa niya sa isa pang swivel chair.
"Magkapatid sila ni Pey sa ina. Ang bali-balita... Xerxes mother died in a car accident. Her last wish for Xerxes is to marry a girl to continue the race of their family. Xerxes made his promise and now... He's engaged to a girl. Mahirap paniwalaan pero nakatanggap ang pamilya ko ng invitation. Sa States gagawin ang wedding since uuwi si Xerxes sa states with his Fiancé." So 'yon pala ang dahilan kung bakit hindi siya makakasama sa outing.
"Why are you telling me this?" Bigla siyang bumuntong hininga. "Rage Society are invited to that party. Hendral's family hired them to secure the wedding." Then if they're invited... It means that Xerxes have a connections to them. It means that we can spy on that day.
"Pero hindi sila nakabihis as a group kaya tingin ko mahirap silang hanapin." That group always catch my interest from the start. Sila lagi ang nakakauna sa targets namin. We really owe them a lot for killing those drug sindicates.
"Then don't forget to bring your shades detector on that day." Ngumisi si Asylum. Siguro ay nakuha niya na ang sinasabi ko. Sigurado akong ang mga taong kasama sa Rage Society ay may nakatagong armas sa katawan nila. In this case, Asylum can detect them and he can send it on my computer.
"I wouldn't forget about that. But first, how can you say this to Airish?" Is he dumb? If she know this she'll hate me for sure.
"Wala akong balak at hindi ko babalakin." For her sake I would risk everything.
"You're deeply in love with her. I hope you didn't repeat the history." I'm sure with this. Even if she leave me. I'll still chase her. I can't just lose her... Kahit na alam kong gusto pa niya si Althea, I can change it.
"This is the last time." Sagot ko sa kanya.
"Pag-alis niya we can hang out again."
"Should I say that to Venice?" Natawa naman siya ng bahagya at biglang napailing. "You're in love too." Pang-aasar ko sa kanya.
"We're just the same. But not like your story. You have so many competitors Kaijin."
"Alam kong ako ang pipiliin ni Airish. I don't need to compete." But Caden is really bothering me for some reasons.
"You're confident." Natatawa niyang sambit tsaka tumayo at nag-inat. "I'll be going. Birthday din ni Venice ngayon. I'll ask her if we can date. Ciao (Bye) Mr. Del Mundo." Sambit niya at umalis na.
Kinuha ko naman ang cellphone ko at tinipa ang numero ni Airish. Bakit pagdating sa kanya nawawala ang tapang at arogante ng boses ko?
I can't even play with her like the other girls. Ni hindi ko siya mapasunod. But in the other way.. As long as she's safe and sound... I don't mind being the UNDER.
"What?" Cold as ever~
"I missed you. Do you missed me?" I asked using my SWEET TONE.
"I don't. But now that you called me, take responsibility. Sunduin moko dito sa Modeling station. I'll give you 10 minutes." Her tone...
"Anong problema? Your tone looks so disappointed."
"They give me a break. That two siblings change all of the cast. It's humiliating, so come in here and pick me up." Are they going to ignore my girl because of that newcomers? Why will Wang sister change all the casts? Is this even legal?
"Hintayin mo ako." I try to composed myself as I sigh.
"I will." Tsaka niya binaba ang tawag.
"SILVESTRE!" Agad namang pumasok ang Assistant ko. "Take that Modeling Agency down." No one ever humiliates my girl.
"Burn that studio. Wala kayong ititira." This is your consequences.
"Yes Sire." Kinuha ko ulit ang cp ko bago tinawagan si Ate Maurice. "Ohh baket? May kailangan ka nanaman?"
"I'm back in business I wonder if you're interested." Tumahimik sandali sa telepono bago ako nakarinig ng pagtikhim. "You should think twice. Ilalagay mo sa kapahamakan si Airish. Do you know the consequences?" Tumayo na ako at naglakad papalayo ng opisina. Little did they know that this Fvckboy has many connections than they ever imagine.
"Of course." Hindi naman nagtagal ay nakababa na ako at sumakay sa motor ko. Dinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya. "Is that a yes or a no?" Sabay paandar ko ng makina ng Ecose Spirit.
"OO na! Sige na! But don't call me when you're driving! May naririnig akong makina! Sa'n ka pupunta?!" Sumeryoso naman ang mukha ko ang sineryosohan ang tono ko.
"I'll never let my girl on that Modeling agency. I'll pick her up."
"So may paserious mode ka na ngayon Kaijin Del Mundo? Wow. I thought na magiging fuckboy ka na forever but look at you! Hahahaha I want to meet her soon. I wonder if she'll passed my test." My girl is strong and capable in doing things. She can make your life a living hell just by one snap.
Her power is just to good.
But mine is capable of doing anything for her. I don't mind killing those jerks who'll opposed and harm my girl.
"Be her guest. But I'm informing you that she's flawless." Dinig ko ang bahagyang tawa niya sa linya.
"We'll see about that." Ako na ang nagpatay ng tawag at mabilis na pinaharurot ang motor ko.
Ilang minuto pa at nakita ko si Airish na nakatayo sa tapat ng pintuan ng Modeling Agency. Kaya niyang pabagsakin ang lugar na ito pero bakit hindi niya ginawa? "What happened?" She looks calm as she looks at me.
"I just can't stand them so I walk out instead." Parang ganito rin ang sinabi niya tungkol sa ate niya. She can't stand Asumi's attitude too so she walked out. Hindi lang pala ako ang taong nilalayasan niya. She always keep her composure. As expected from an Elegant Laxamana.
"Give me that helmet." Walang anuman ay kinuha na niya ito at isinuot sa ulo niya bago sumakay sa motor. "I don't mind being the driver." Napailing naman ako sa sinabi niya at sumakay na ako sa motor.
"Sa'n mo gustong pumunta?" Tanong ko habang inistart ang makina. "Take me home." Bagot niyang sambit.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Don't state the obvious Kaijin. Of course she's not fucking okay!
"A cup of Caramel Coffee will make me okay."
"Hold tight!" Ramdam ko ang kapit niya sa likuran ko pero hindi ko ramdam ang yakap niya. Do I need to demonstrate it to her?
Inilagay ko ang dalawang braso niya sa bewang ko. "When I say tight. HOLD TIGHT." Sabay paandar ko ng motor.
Hindi naman din nagtagal at huminto kami sa isang coffee shop. Sa pagkakatanda ko ay ang pamilya ni Venice ang may-ari nito.
"Good afternoon Ma'am and Sir." Bati ng mga empleyado. We both smile as we passed by. "Ms. Laxamana, long time no see." Ngiti ng kahera kay Airish. My girl is so popular.
"Yeah, It's been a while. Anyway, I would like to have a Caramel Coffee."
"Coming right up Ma'am!" Umupo na kami at kita ko ang pagsalampak niya sa desk. Kita ko ang marami at halo-halong emosyon sa mga mata niya. I'm not that numb. I know when her mind is in trouble.
"Mind sharing your pain?" Napatingin siya sakin.
"Things are complicated. Hindi mo na dapat ako alalahanin." Sabay ayos niya ng upo. She looks so much in pain that makes me want to hug her. But All that I can do for her is to stay by her side.
"Ok then." Even if you don't wanna say it. Malalaman ko rin ang bagay na iyan. "Here's your coffee Ma'am. Right amount of sugar, Right water temperature, Right caffeine, and small amount of Espresso. Enjoy." Inamoy niya muna tsaka marahang ininom ang kape.
"Caramel coffee is your favorite Coffee while Earl Grey is your favorite tea." Nakangiti kong sambit sa kanya na ikinatigil niya sa paghigop.
"Caramel coffee reminds me of my family." Ano namang problema sa pamilya niya?
"Your family looks fine." Ibinaba niya ang caramel coffee bago nagsalita. "Nevermind." Tumayo siya bago ako nginitian.
"I'll make some food when we go home." Napakabilis niyang ibahin ang pag-uusap.
"What should I make?" Napatayo ako at hinawakan ang kamay niya. There's no other way. Looks like I have to intrude in her life to know her secrets.
Pagkalabas namin ay agad kaming sumakay sa motor para umuwi sa mansyon. Pagkahinto ng motor ay agad naming inalis ang helmet at pumasok na kami sa loob. Isang hindi pamilyar na taong may hawak na bouquet ang nakita namin pagkapasok.
[Airish Laxamana]
"Who let this toxic enter my mansion?" I clenched my fist as I look at every maids.
"Don't you miss me?" Nagpapatawa ba siya? Do I look like a happy person for him? Ang lakas ng loob niyang pumasok sa pamamahay ko.
"LEAVE." Matigas kong sambit na ikinalapit niya sakin. "Airish... Wala na kami ni Herra." Do I look like I care?
"DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MY WORD EUWAN. UMALIS KA SA PAMAMAHAY KO ORAMISMO." Makita ko lang ang pagmumukha niya... Inis na inis na ako.
"Please Airish... Give me a chance. Oo naging marupok ako pero please don't let me leave without explaining." They're the reason kung bakit muntikan na akong mamatay. Herra planned it all. Para lang mapunta kay Euwan ang mana kaya tinangka nila akong patayin. That bitches are so desperate to have the Laxamana's treasure. At itong lalaking ito, hindi sapat sa kanya na nakita akong sugatan. Mas kinampihan niya ang girlfriend niya kaysa sa sarili niyang kapatid... Hindi ko malilimutan kung paano ako nagdusa sa mga kamay nila... Hinding-hindi ko PAPALAMPASIN ANG MGA GINAWA NILA SAKIN. Ultimong SALITANG PAGTITIMPI NAUBOS KO NA.
"Lumabas ka." Sa inis ko ay kinuha ko ang isang vase at itinaas.
"Kung ayaw mong patayin kita." Napabuntong hininga siya habang inilapag ang bouquet. "I'm sorry Airish." Handa ko na sanang basagin ang vase ng humarap si Kaijin kay Euwan.
"Leave. Airish doesn't wants to see you." Kita ko ang pagtingin sakin ni Euwan. "I follow his orders Airish. And one day... You will too." Inis kong ibinaba ang vase pagkaalis niya.
Alam ko ang bagay na 'yon. But he doesn't have the rights to give his opinion. If I need to please the elders gagawin ko. Kung 'yon lang ang paraan para manatili kami. I'm willing to kneel down just to be with them.
