"Ikaw nagluto?"
"Yes. Let's eat."
I sat in front of Cyden. He cooked bacon, egg and fried rice. It's been two days since the party.Araw araw ko siyang pinapagalitan,gusto kong mainis sa kanya pero mas naiinis ako sa sarili ko dahil nagpabaya din ako.
Ang hirap pag ganito ang misyon,nasa iyong kamay nakasalalay ang kaligtasan ng taong hindi mo naman kilala.Ang sakit pag hindi mo napagtagumpayan ang misyon.
"Meron ka bang trabaho ngayon Cyden?"
"Wala"he answered and drink his coffee.
"Hindi ka ba busy?may kompanya ka,"
"Yeah,my secretary will keep me updated."
"So,sasama ako pag may trabaho ka?"
"Yes."
"Pwede akong maging janitress Cyden,"
"No,ipapakilala kita sa kanila bilang girlfriend ko."
"Yes sir."
Pagkatapos naming kumain ay naisipan kong maglinis baka sabihin niyang hindi ako sumusunod sa rules niya.Siya naman ay nasa mini library,may virtual meeting.
The team always keep me updated, those culprits are hiding somewhere QC,they can't track the exact address but the surveillance is 24/7.
Natigil ako sa paglilinis ng lumabas si Cyden sa library at pumunta sa gawi ko.
"Magbihis ka."
"Bakit?"
"May pupuntahan tayo,"
"Saan ba?"
"Cemetery" tugon niya at kinuha ang walis sa kamay ko. "Let's visit my family."
Dali dali akong nagbihis ng Denim pants at White crop top.Bumaba agad ako.Nakita ko si Cyden sa may pintuan.
"Tara na."
Bumili na din kami ng bulaklak at kandila kanina.Pagkarating namin sa cemetery ay sumunod lamang ako kay Cyden dahil hindi ko alam kung saan nakalibing ang pamilya niya.
Huminto kami sa may tatlong puntod.
"This is my younger sister,Cyril Venice Concepcion beside her is my mom,Cecelia Lira Concepcion and this is my dad, Veniel Louis Concepcion."
"I'm so sorry for lost."
"It was my fault.You're right,I should have think before firing them,"
"Stop blaming your self" He stared at me. "It's done and all you need to do is to be tough.We don't know what's coming for you."
"It still hurts,"
"I know,but it will heal."
"I don't know if it will heal,"
"It will."
"I'm don't crying and mourning but this sh*t is killing me inside."
"I envy you for having a complete family"dagdag pa niya.
Kita ko ang pamumula nang mata niya, pinipigilan niya lamang ang pagtulo ng mga luha.
"Pwede ka umiyak Cyden,hindi yan nakakabawas sa pagkalalaki mo."
"You don't know the pain---"
"Alam ko kung gaano kasakit,naranasan at naramdaman ko din ang nararamdaman mo ngayon."
"What do you mean?"
"Wait for me okay?"
"Okay,we love you sweetheart."
"I love you."
I drove fast to the mall and I already called some agents just in case of emergency.As I arrived at the parking lot of the mall I immediately looked for them.
"Hello Dad?Asan kayo?"
Naghintay ako ng sagot niya pero wala.
"Where are you?Nandito na ako sa may parking lot."
Kinabahan ako ng walang sumagot.Pilit kong winawaksi ang mga negatibong inisip ko.
Pag may nangyaring masama sa kanila hindi ko talaga mapapatawad akong sarili ko.
"Dad?"
"Do you hear me?"
"I'm here."
"Umuwi na tayo.Asan ba kayo?"
Dumating na din ang ibang agents,agad silang pumasok ng mall para hanapin sila Dad.Nilibot ko din ang Parking lot at nakita ko ang kotse namin.
Habang papalapit ako sa kotse,hindi ko alam kung bakit kinakabahan ako.Nakarating ako harapang kotse namin,nanigas ako sa nakita kong eksena,tuluyan bumagsak lahat ng mga luha ko.
Para akong sinaksak ng paulit ng makita silang naliligo sa sariling dugo.Mas nadurog ang puso ko nang makita ang kapatid ko,pati siya dinamay pa nila.
"Agent Leo,we are very sorry for your lost"Saad ng katrabaho ko.
My lost.
I lost my family at the same time I lost my home.
Nilabas na nila ang katawan nga pamilya ko.Lumapit ako para makita sila ng malapitan.
I'm holding my dad's hand full of blood
"I told you to wait for me,your daughter will save you.Dad wake up please I---I promise to spend more time with you guys" Ayaw tumigil ng mga luha ko sa pag agos,naramdaman kong nanikip din ang dibdib ko. "DAD YOUR FAVORITE A--AGENT IS HERE" I said while shaking his body.
Binaling ko ang tingin kay mommy at hinaplos ang pisngi Niya.
"Mom,diba pupunta pa tayo sa New York? That we will spend our new year there.Wake up please,Y---You told me that you're excited to see me walking down the aisle"My voice cracked after hearing my own words.
Mas lalong bumuhos ang mga luha ko nang bumaling ako sa kapatid ko.
"Sheena wake up Ate is here.D---Diba maglalaro pa tayo? We will eat a lot of mint chocolate ice cream.Tuturuan pa kitang mag bike!Sheena you're too young----for this.PLEASE WAKE UP SHEENA,YOU'RE A---ATE WILL NEVER DESTROY YOUR TOYS ANYMORE JUST PLEASE WAKE UP...."
I wasn't prepared to face this kind of heartache.Grabe! tatlo agad ang kinuha.
"HINDI KO KAYANG MAG ISA!MOM,DAD,SHEENA PLEASE I----I WANT YOU TO SEE ME GROW AND I W--ANT YOU TO SEE ME FALLING INLOVE.I AM NOT READY FOR THIS FVCK!"
"TANG*NA THIS IS TOO MUCH!"
Nagulat ako ng may inabot na papel si Ricca sa akin.
"We found that at the back seat."
It's Sheena's drawing.Parang gusto ko nang magpabaril habang binabasa ang sinulat ng kapatid ko.
"Ate Sierra,you are my IDOL.And you are my favorite SUPERHERO!"
I'm so sorry,your favorite SUPERHERO can't even protect you.And your IDOL is lost right now.
Naranasan ko din Cyden.Alam ko ang nararamdaman mo ngayon.Di lang ikaw.
"I'm sorry Leo."
"It was a long time ago,"
"You're very strong woman."
"I'm not as strong as you think.I got so many weaknesses."
"But your weaknesses makes you strong,"
"I guess."
Napag desisyonan naming pumunta ng mall para maglibot at kumain.Habang nasa byahe Hindi ko maiwasang mapatingin kay Cyden.Nakikita ko ang sarili ko sakanya.
"Stop staring at me Agent."
"I'm not staring at you"napaismid siya sa sinabi."I am staring at the steering wheel."
"I caught you staring at me,"
"Evidence?"
"I don't have one."
"Yun naman pala e' wag kang feeling artista,"
"Am I handsome?"he smirked at me
"Oo naman.Ipasa mo nga yang kapogian mo sa mga magiging anak ko.Baka naman." I saw him raised his eyebrow.
"Are you afraid of being shot?"tanong ko
"Kinda."
"Don't worry Cy, I won't let that happen."
