Chapter 35

Hongkong

After niyang iwan si Adil ay pumunta kaagad siya sa Hongkong pagkatapos siyang ihatid ng tauhan nito ay may binigay itong box sakanya.Nang tiningnan niya kung ano ang laman noon ay isang cellular phone nilagay niya ito sa box tapos ay bumili siya ng mga bagong damit at wig after that kaagad siyang pumunta kay Rika.She gave her the address she was not sure if she is still there dahil ang usapan nila ay magkikita sila after 4 days pero pang anim na araw na ngayon.

Dala ang kanyang Katana ay pumasok siya sa maliit na hostel.Madaming mga malalaking mama ang andoon.The place smelled awful, full of cigarettes and alcohol ang iba ay mukhang isang buwan ng di naliligo.Some of the men are looking at her pero di siya nilalapitan ng mga ito.She is a very known Assassin most people are afraid of her.

Kunti lang ang nakakakita sakanyang mukha.

But they knew it was her when they saw a woman holding a Katana and a red hair.

Lumapit siya sa Bakanteng mesa at umupo siya doon.She was looking at a man he was busy talking to someone.Ng nakita siya nito ay tumango ito hudyat na alam na nito kung sino ang pakay niya.

Then suddenly a guy approached her.He has a big body and he was smilling at her.She knows what kind of person he is.She gave him a glare and a murderous aura pero mas lalo lang itong natuwa.She is not in the mood lalong-lalo pa at haggang ngayon ay nagluluksa siya sa pagkamatay ni X.

Bago pa ito magsalita ay inunahan na niya ito.

"Leave"she said calmly

But he didnt listen he was about to take a sit when blood splash around the table.After that people looked shocked and then laugh hard.

Pagkatapos ay tumayo siya at lumapit siya sa counter.

"Hi!Ching

Ching has a chinky eyes matanda na ito at may mahabang balbas.

"I see you killed one of my costumer"

Tiningnan niya ulit ang lalaki nangingisay na ito.She saw a empty glass earlier binasag niya iyon at sinaksak niya sa lalamunan ng lalaki.

"Yea I did"she replied

Tumawa lang ito

"I see you never change Red'

Go upstairs she is waiting for you.

Tapos ay umakyat na siya sa itaas.She opened the door and she saw Rika.She was sitting on the floor she is doing some meditation.

"I thought you will never show up Red!then Rika Open her eyes tapos ay tumayo ito.But she felt something off with her.Pagkalapit nito sakanya ay kaagad siya nitong sinuntok pero nakailag siya.She tried to hit her again pero nailagan niya ulit ito.

"Rika your too slow you can never hit me"sabi niya dito.Tinitigan lang siya nito ng masama at umupo ito sa kama.

"So tell me why you are mad at me na dapat ako magalit sa pinag gagawa niyo?she ask her.

"Fucker!You should have stayed a little more in that goddamn desert with the King! Red Natalo ako sa pustahan namin!Ngayon ay di naako tinitigilan ni Alice!Also that Miguel aggghh!Did you know how much money I losed?

"I dont give a damn Rika!

"I know you dont!pero kasalanan mo malapit na matapos ang laro it was just a span of 5 minutes at mananalo naako pero umalis ka doon.

Sa sobrang galit niya ay lumapit siya dito then she put her hands on her neck.She slightly strangle her.

"Dont you ever make a fun of my life again Rika.Even if you are my friend dont you dare step out of your bounderies.She looks scared at tumango ito.

Now get your things I promised to get you that Item thats why I am here.

Ilang minuto pa ang nakalipas ay nasa baba na sila pero bago pa sila umalis ay may inabot siyang papel kay Ching.

"Contact him and give him this address''

Tumango ito

"Hmm Rika wont be happy about this Red"sabay hawak sa balbas nito.

"Trust me Ching that's what I want right now after what they done to me!

Pumunta sila ni Rika sa isang madilim na bahay.

"You sure it's the place?she ask her

"Yes nasa loob ang mga items Ive heard they will go to other place to robbed again.

What kind of item you want the most?

Tas ngumiti ito

"A journal written by Hayato Sato"

Di na siya nagtanong pa knowing Rika she was obessed with things that are part of history.

Pumasok na sila sa loob they are plenty of men tatakas pa sana ang mga ito ng pinigilan niya.She is using her Katana at isa isa niyang pinatay ang mga ito haggang makapasok sila sa loob ng kwarto.

The room is full of painting and jewels most of it have things to do with history.Rika's eyes is shining brightly!

"I know we can make it Red!

"Tsk!wala naman itong ginawa kundi tumayo sa likuran niya.

Naglakad siya sa gitna ng may makita siyang maliit na libro na nasa glass.It looks rusty but still in good condition.It was written in Japanese.Then she saw that name bigla siyang kinabahan at the same time she feel excited.

"Rik--a who is this Hayato Sato?

Lumapit ito sakanya at tiningnan din nito ang brown na libro.

"He's a half Filipino ane half japanese but he grew up in England.His father is a japanese archeologist kaya namana niya din ang passion nito.You know this man made plenty of history,he found the tomb of the great emperor in China not only that he found many of discoveries.Tell you he is my Idol I started to study history because of him.I was inspired in all of his work.

"Serena makikilala mo na kung sino ka talaga!

"That's a very good news Rika where is he.How can I met him?excited na tanong niya dito.

Narinig niyang huminga ito ng malalim.

"You know Red I wanna meet him also but I cant"

"Why?she ask her

Di pwedee kahit saan pa ito ay hahanapin niya!

"Is he dead?biglang tanong niya dito

"I hope he's not ang journal na yan ang kahuli-hulihang naiwan niya bago ito nawala.

He's been missing for thirty one years now Red the authority declared him dead already dahil di mahanap ang katawan nito.

His family said that he was doing some reasearch about a unknown tribe in Japan it was very risky but he loves adventure and month past this journal was found in his apartment they try to find him pero parang bula nalang itong naglaho.

They said that the Emperor of Japan might kill him because he is trying to know there deepest secret of that trive and others say baka naglayas lang madaming kuro-kurong lumabas but until now walang maibigay na sagot then after that because he been missing for many years sumuko na ang pamilya nito at tinaggap nalang nila na baka namatay na nga ito.

"Damn it!She tried to look for answer all her life.In the past she tried searching for her biological parents.Kahit di niya alam saan magsisimula ay hinanap niya ito saan-saan napadpad siya sa ibat dakong mundo pero wala parin siyang sagot na mahanap.

"No!no Serena dont give up now you have a clue!

Then she saw that Name again and she read it.

It was written in Japanse

"AMURA"

"Shhh!don't say that name they said it's curse!kaagad na saway ni Rika sakanya.

Biglang nanlaki ang mata niya

"You know anything about Amura?!

"I told you not to speak of her name.I dont know alot but it's a very famous Urban legend they say she cursed her self.

And?

"That's all I know actually now I remembered it the reason Hayato Sato got missing is because of his research .Old people said he was curse because he tries to talk to her.

"You believe that?she ask her

"That's why I want to read his journal .This journal is very precious!This people break in into the the emperor palace just to robbed this.Ive heard madaming namatay pero nanakaw parin nila ito.They planned to sell this and many are very interested to have this as their collection!

"Now this will be mine!

"Tell me ?Why is the Emperor protecting his journal Rika?

"Red I dont know ok but the Emperor made a decree not talk about that Legend anymore or speak of her name but Hayato is so brave he didnt follow him instead he went there secretly!

Kahit paano ay naging magaan ang pakiramdam niya.Unlike in the past ngayon ang alam na niya kung saan siya magsisimula and this journal will be her key to found her parents and her lost memory and the woman inside her mind.

Kaagad niyang binasag ang glass at kinuha niya ito.

"Red give it to me!What are you doing we made a deal!

Sakto naman na may narinig silang mga yapak na papunta sa kanila.Then Rika saw Miguel bigla itong namutla.

"Fucker!Serena!!Why is he here?Give me that journal!

Pero di siya nakinig dito

"Miguel I need to go now you take good care of Rika.Ive heard Alice win in the game that they created.Congratulations! You can claim your prize now.

Nakita niyang ngumiti ng malapad si Miguel.

"That's why I am here Red"

"Tan*gina niyong dalawa!!Miguel magkamatayan man di ako sasama sayo!

Napangiti na lamang si Serena that's why they are friends parehas sila ng ugali ni Rika.

Narinig niyang sinisigaw nito ang pangalan niya pero di niya ito pinansin.Her attention is in that journal.Sumakay siya sa kotse na gamit nila ni Rika kanina.She was driving the car earlier kaya nasa kanya parin ang susi.She starts to drive pero ang di mawala sa isip niya ang journal na iyon.She stop the car tapos ay inabot niya ito at binuksan mmay nahulog na litrato mabilis niya itong pinulot dahil baka masira.The picture is too old it was the color of black and white and it's kind of blurry.

Binuksan niya ang ilaw ng kotse para makita niya ito ng malinaw.Bigla siyang natigilan ng makita niya kung ano ang nasa larawan.

It was a woman wearing a kimona she was running at kahit black and white ang picture ay sigurado siyang magkaparehas ang kulay ng buhok nila at di siya pwedeng magkamali dahil hawak hawak ng babae ang Katana na meron siya ngayon.Her sword have unique markings

"Finally Adil!Malalaman ko na kung sino ba talaga ako!sambit niya sa kanyang sarili.
