Chapter 1

"INSPECTOR ALIXTA, Your Father were asking for your presence" A decent man wearing a Formal attire approached the beautiful girl sitting beside me. Alixta gave me a weak smile before nodding upon Mr. De Loso. Agad na umalis ang lalaki bago muling magsalita ang babaeng ito.

"Zion, Let's just talk about this next time" Ipinikit ko na lang ng mariin ang mga mata ko bago pakinggan ang mga salitang nakakapagod nang pakinggan.

Is she really that though? kaya nya ba talagang ipagpalit ako sa mga bagay na di naman nya talaga dapat pagka-abalahan? Im confused, she told me that she loves me, but she's always choosing her job over me.

Alixta is known for her Good dedication to her Job. What do you expect from a girl whose responsible for defying the act of crimes? She's an Officer, Police Officer. My Inspector to be exact. Yes, That lady is my woman

"Zion please talk to me, Alam mo namang di ako mapakali kapag di nakikita kong nagtatampo ka" Agad itong tumayo bago lumapit sa akin. She cupped my face while giving me a pleading look "This one is my last case. I promi-"

"Dang that promise!" I shouted in Anger. Agad kong nakita ang pagkabahala sa mga mata nya "How many times did you promised me to quit that job of yours and marry me? I lose my count Alixta!"

"Zion..."

"No listen me Alixta. Look at me" I gripped her shoulder while forcing her to look on my face. "Look at me, Im tired can't you see? i know that you love your job and i am proud that you are slowly achieving your Dreams but Dang! Dang it! You are Risking yourself, Your life! and everytime that you are telling me that you have a new case. It slowly killing me because on every step that you are taking i know that Death is following you, and I'm afraid, can't you see? I'm afraid"

"Zion i... i" Nakita ko ang agad na pagtulo ng bubutil luha nya sa mga mata nya. "I'm sorry, i.. i didn't mean to-"

"Please, Just be with me. I know that you love your job but-" before i finished my sentence she hugged me tightly while whispering her 'Sorry' and 'I love you's' to me

I thought she will grant my only favor to her. But as i expected, She's still tough.

She Kissed my lips devouring my longing for her, Making me realized that my longing will always be a longing for her. She pushed me a little while showing me her innocent sweet face "I Love You my man" she whispered "You don't have to plead me because i am ready to grant it with all my life, but Zion. Give me more time, i just really need to finish my last case"

"Damn"

"Zion please understand me"

"Understand you? until when? Damn I don't get you! i don't get this, all i want is to make you safe, all i want is to be with you, all i want is to be-"

"So as I Zion! So as I, but just please Kaunting pang unawa na lang tatapusin ko na 'to, You have no idea on how much i love you. Tutuparin ko naman lahat ng pangako ko, Kaunting hintay na lang"

But Damn i am Tired.

"Just Wait For me to finish this, Just wait"

"Ms. Alixta, Sorry to Interrupt your conversation with your boyfriend but Your father is waiting for you" Agad akong hinalikan ni Alixta sa aking noo bago umalis sa opisina ko.

"I love you" She mouthed on me as she go. Nang mawala sya sa paningin ko ay Agad akong napabuntong hininga.

I love you too. I Love her. Ang gusto ko lang naman ay ang mabuhay ng walang pag aalinlangan. Natatakot na baka magising na lang ako isang araw ay may biglang magbabalita sa akin na wala na sya. I just can't take it, I can't

Inis kong nasuntok ang pader before taking my seat on the swivel chair. She's that tough huh? What if i made her pregnant? Will she still pursue that damn case of her? Pagak akong napatawa bago ko tignan ang litrato nyang nakadiaplay sa Opisina ko. I really Love this Woman

Napatigil na lang ako sa pag iisip nang marinig ko ang malakas na pag ring ng phone ko. Agad ko itong sinagot bago ko pa maisip na magwala sa Opisina ko "What is it?"

"We finally traced the one who's responsible for stealing on your company Mr. Zion" Agad akong napatigil ng makuha nito ang atensyon ko

"Tell me, Who?"

"Sir i don't think it's a good idea to tell you but-"

"Drop that f*cking reason, Just tell me you bastard"

"It's Mr. Anderson" And that made me Froze.

PATIENTS IS a virtue and that virtue was slowly fading on the face of an old hag who's sitting in front of me. Nakayukom ang kamao ng matanda habang nakatingin sa papel na kasalukuyan nyang hawak ngayon. Shock is all over his face but still keeping his confidence with his posture

Tumingin ito sa akin bago pabagsak na ibalik ang papel na hawak hawak nya sa akin. "You still don't have a concrete Evidence Young man, Watch your allegations about me"

"Hindi pa ba sapat na Ebidensya 'yan? I may be Young but i know this kind of plain sh*tness trick Mr. Anderson" Agad na nawala ang gulat sa mukha ni Mr. Anderson bago ngumisi sa akin

"Why would i steal your money if i can make it through my business? You may know something Young man but kulang pa din ang kaalaman na 'yon" Kumuha ito ng isang piraso stick ng sigarilyo bago ito sindihan at sumandal sa upuan "Let's say that it was me, But i can always reverse your nonesense allegation about me. So you better watch your words Mr. Zion"

Palihim akong yumukom ng kamao bago ko mapakalma ang sarili ko. Agad kong pinunit ang papel sa harap nya mismo bago inumin ang kapeng nasa harapan ko "I get it Mr. Anderson, Mas mabuti nga namang maghanap pa ako mg mas matibay na ebidensya para hindi ka na makatakas pa sa gagawin kong sapot. Don't worry I'll trap you in a good way next time"

"Sure If you can" nanghahamong wika nito "Anyway how's your relationship with my daughter?" Agad akong napatigil ng mabanggit nya ang salitang 'yon "I see she's still stubborn"

"You talked to her right? Ipinatawag mo sya n'ong isang araw"

This man is getting into my nerves

"I did" He replied. Pinunasan nito ang kanyang kamay bago tumayo at tumingin sa akin "That Woman is still stupid. Hindi ko ba alam kung bakit ko naging anak ang isang 'yon. Wala syang kuwenta"

"That Woman Is Alixta your daughter"

"She's Stupid" He stated making me want to punch his f*cking face. How could him to call my woman stupid? "Anyway I have to go, Ni hindi ko alam kung bakit ako umattend para sa walang kwentang usapang ito"

"Old Hag" I said giving him a warning tone, But instead of showing me a pissed look he smirked on me

"Just a piece of advice before i left Mr. Zion. Get that stupid girl out of my way. Marry her, Get her, I don't care. Hindi mo naman siguro gustong ilayo ko s'ya sa iyo, Right?" Inihagis nito ang paupos ng sigarilyo nya sa lapag bago nya ito tapakan "Don't take it seriously Zion. It was only an Advice"

"Don't worry, Kahit hindi mo sabihin sa akin ilalayo ko siya sa iyo."

"Make it faster then, Young Man" Wika nito at agad na umalis sa harap ko.

Napahilot na lang ako sa Sentido ko bago ko buksan ang Phone ko. Im stressed damn it, Agad akong napatigil ng makitang may message si Alixta na ipinadala sa akin

Today 3:46 Pm

'I love you Zion, Galit ka pa ba? Please Forgive me, I can't stand two days without me seeing you, Can i sleep at your house? Babawi ako'

Agad akong napangiti ng mabasa ang text nya sa aking 'yon. Di ko talaga matitiis ang babaeng ito. I love her

'Do you still need to ask my permission to sleep on our House?' i replied

'I love you too by the way'

Napangiti na lang ako bago ko ibinulsa ang Phone ko. Pero agad din iyong nawala nang makita ko ang isang panyo na mukhang naiwan ni Mr. Anderson sa Pag alis nya kanina.

Agad ko itong hinawakan ngunit mariin akong napayukom ng kamao ko nang makitang may pulang itong mga mantsa

Blood.
