1st Person's POV
-------------------
Hindi pa rin ako pinapakawalan ni Max. Nasusufocate na ako.
"..and that is how I got my personalities. So would you stop moving or I will really kiss you!", Max said at hinigpitan niya ang pagkakayakap sa akin.
"Ugh, pwede na kasing pakawalan mo ako. Hindi ako makahinga", I tried to kick him pero nakakawit ang mga binti niya sa akin so I barely move.
Para na ata akong uud eh.
"Aba, maganda yan para naman makabawi ako sa mga pananakit mo sa akin", he answered. Ang saya niya pa ah!
Kung sasakalin ko kaya siya para instant suffocation.
"You're crazy!", I shouted
"No im not.. but maybe, im going crazy for you", are those sweet cheesy words, part of his everyday vocabulary ?
"Aishh... you lunatic ! Pwede ba!"
"Don't move I said. Hindi pa ako tapos magsalita. Sasabihin ko na lahat para wala ng sasabihin si AKini, don't worry I know more than him", sabi niya habang nanatiling unggoy na mahigpit ang kapit sa puno.
So that's makes him a monkey now..
"Aish!"
"And I know you do not agree with the plan of ours going to Midway, but please cooperate. Because we need you"
"Are you saying you need me to find your parents?"
".... Its not... Uhm, aish.. okay!"
Pinakawalan niya ako.
Agad ko siyang dinambahan. Pinatalikod ko siya and I locked his arms.
"Again?... oww!, You really like being on top of me??.. Fine, I'll let you. Oww...Okay okay.. aish.. Let go of me!"
"Well, if you'll answer my questions"
"Okay, sige"
"First, hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit tayo pupunta doon", I asked without letting him go.
He tried to move at para lang akong nangabayo. Petty move.
"It was about the mission. I want to continue what my dad and Uncle Ramlee had started dahil malapit na sila sa pagpapabagsak sa proyekto iyun. And I won't let there sacrifices to be just nothing!", he said.
Hmm... not convincing enough.
"Ouchh.. ANo ba! Mababalian ako ng buto! You BEAST!", sigaw niya.
"Bakit pumayag ang iba na sumama sa'yo with your selfishness"
"Its because they wanted to. They have their reasons. Akini wants a revenge because his dad was murdered by the Intel and our Mom has been abducted. Miko wants change, he wants to be normal and he wants the drug and his willing to fight with us... Oww..Would you lossen it a bit.. ouch!"
"Elamore and your gay cousin?"
"Ouch.. fine fine.. I just blockmailed my cousin. His needed in the plan. ... Elamore, we had a deal."
"What deal?"
"Ouch.. No, im not going to tell you!..ouch, pakawalan mo muna ako"
"I'm not that easy.. Ano gusto mong baliin ko muna to!"
"AHHH!!... F*ck!... do you need to do this? Ouch!"
"What deal!"
"Are you torturing me?... You won't like it when I'll use my transformation. Im recharge now after you kick my junior."
NO!!
Hindi nga siya nagbibiro ng tumagos ako sa katawan niya.
His a ghost again.. Hindi ko siya makita ng may..
"AHHHH!!!"
Bigla akong napatalikod at gaya ng ginawa ko sa kaniya kanina, he locked my shoulder.
"OUCHH!!", the world really turn upside down.
"Hahaha, do you think, you can beat me all the time... im sorry babe, I'm not going to tell you about the deal. Its beyond the things you should know"
"Get off me!"
"Nope, I'll be riding you too", he said.
This is UHH!!
"I also have questions for you and answer honestly or this ride would be really rough!"
AHHH!!! Damn this perverted monkey jerk!
"Who is helping you? Who are they?"
Napaisip ako kina doktora.
"Im not gonna tell you!", I shouted.
"AAAHHHH!"
"Tell me or I'll break this arms", he said at hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak sa magkabilang kamay ko.
Masakit!!
"They're a volunteer researchers on the project. They did'nt tell me much about it, but they're good people"
"More", he said.
"They help me to discover my personalities, develop my skills and they did not give me to the agents or the Intel!! Ouch!"
"Who are they? Anong pangalan nila?"
I heard my bone cracked.
And I almost cried because of pain.
I used my weapon alteration.
"Woaahh.. easy", Max
I tried to move my hand to be able to cut Max hands or hurt him to unleash me.
"Aaah! Im not still going to let you go!", he said.
Naramdaman ko ang malapot na dugong umayos mula sa naging kulay na abong kuko ko at sumugat sa kamay ni Max.
Then I felt scared...
The flashback...
"Are you crying?", Max.
Max already got off me and I still did not move with my stomach lying. Binaliktad ako ni Max and I just let him see my weakness. I did not cover my face but rather lying down freely with my both arms at my side. I let my tears flow as it is.
"Are you okay?", Max na nakaluhod sa gilid ko. Umayos siya ng upo and let me rest my head on his lap.
Bigla ko siyang niyakap at napahagulgul.
Naalala ko ulit kung paano ako naging halimaw. Hindi ko alam na ganito ako kahina dahil hindi ko pa rin makalimutan ang simula ng lahat kung bakit ako nakasuot ng pekeng mukha at gumagamit ng pekeng pangalan.
Ang pagpatay ko sa dalawang dayuhan at pagputol sa kamay ng kasama nila, na alam kung hindi ko binalak.
Ang dugong tumalsik sa damit ko dahil sa hindi ko inaasahang ginawa ko. Ang mga taong umiiyak at sumisigaw sa nangyaring aksidenteng nagawa ko. At ang mga taong nadamay maging ang pamilya ko na hindi ko alam kung anong sinasabi sa kanila ng tao at ang mga taong alam kung hindi pa makakalimutan ang aksidenteng gawa lang ng isang tao. Ako.
And I know... that I cannot kill. And I will never kill to avoid the history repeats itself.
Im not going to let it happen. But why do I think of killing someone even if I mean it as a joke. Death is not joke.
What am I doing?
This should not be happening.
>>>>
We are silently eating and Max dishes was really good but I can't compliment him 'bout it because the atmosphere was in silence and I feel guilty for hurting him.
"I... im sorry", I said...
Sorry dahil nasugatan kita. Napatingin ako sa kaniyang braso, binalutan niya ito ng tela. Sana naman hindi malalim yun.
"hmm", balik niyang sagot.
Mas nakaramdam ako ng hiya.
Natapos kaming kumain na hindi man lang nag-uusap. He even washed our dishes. He let me stay in the living room alone and watching local news. Nasa secret room siya and I wonder what he feels and what he's thinking.
I closed the television and went to our...my room. Naalala ko ang research namin. Binuksan ko ang laptop.
I opened the file and I was surprised when it was
Done.
I read the conclusion, I check the methodologies and every part of it. It was really done.
Hindi ko alam kung paano natapos ito .
Does he done this by himself?
When?
I went downstairs..
Sobra na tong pangongonsensyang nararamdaman ko. Atleast I'll thank him and say sorry for hurting his shoulders again and wounding his arms.
I push the button inside the time piece and the secret door opened.
Nakita kong nakaupo si Max na nakatalikod sa akin habang pinapanood ulit ang video. A video that was taken by the drone.
Naroroon ulit ang dalawang lalaki. Kitang kita ko sila at napansin kong kamukha ng isang lalaki si Max.
And maybe that would be his father and the other man wearing eyeglass would be Ruzzel Ramlee, the eyes , lips and the hair color resembles some feature of Mrs.Patricia. That would make him the favorite nephew.
Ngunit alam kaya ni doktora na kinuha ang pamangkin niya ng mga Intel?
Lumapit ako kay Max.
"Di.. di you finish the research?", tanong ko sa kaniya and I know I stammered.
"Yeah, I have the time when I got absent", he said.
"ganun ba... T-thank -yo-you. Thank you", I said.
What a pathetic me..
Aish..
Max sigh.
"Nasaan ang babaeng malakas sumigaw, ang matapang na babaeng walang hiyang e-judo ako? Ang tapang ng babaeng yun at walang awang sipain ang pinaka-iingatan ko"(Korean), Max
His voice and the accent made me really feel terribly sorry.
Uhmm
Tumingin siya sa akin.
"Would you just stay like that? And, I... i fear your fears making you cry.. I... It was .. I mean... Geez, we're both stammering"
Napakagat labi ako para pigilan ang labing gustong ngumiti.
"It was, I mean... why are we like this for the sudden? Could we just still... be the Sneaky Beast and Perverted Freak?", he said...
Napangiti ako ng tuluyan pero hindi ko alam ang sasabihin.
"Aishh... will you stop smiling... It's really awkward... haist.. I'll just sleep in the living room tonight", sabi niya at tumayo.
I let him leave the room first..
Kinikilig ba ako ulit? Ngayon?
This was...
Ugh...
What are you doing to me Max?
Lumabas ako sa silid na yun at nagtungo sa kuwarto. Max is holding a pillow when I entered the room
"Will we just sleep together, tonight?', I said.
Binigyan ko siya ng ngiti.
"Sabi mo we should still be usual as it is. No awkward moments", I said. Kinuha ko ang unang kinuha niya.
"ah.. i.. okay... I'll just closed the t.v downstairs and the lights", he said. Tumango naman ako.
