Chapter 35

"Are you sure you'll be okay?"

Bungad sa akin ni Freya nang makarating ng hide out matapos naming mag training sa malawak na garden.

Hinihingal na tumango ako kasabay nang pag dampot ng bimpo mula sa pwesto ni Azure. Pinigilan pa nya ako nang agawin nya sa akin iyon at sya na mismo ang nagpunas sa akin. Natahimik ang lahat at alam ko ay nakatuon na ang mata nila sa amin ng Boss ko.

"Stop staring and go inside," He seriously said so the three followed immediately.

Napabuntong hininga ako nang patalikurin nya ako para punasan ang pawis sa likod ko. "Hindi mo kailangan gawin to." Pigil ko sa kanya

"I want to, don't worry. No feelings involve, I just miss doing this to you."

I bit my lower lip as I turned around to catch his eyes. "I know, but it's 7 years past already. Go and wait for your woman, I don't want you to stuck in me. Marami pang iba." Nginitian ko sya at kinuha ang water jug at bimpo mula sa kanya bago ko sya talikuran.

Nang makapasok sa loob ay nag pahinga ako saglit bago napag desisyonang maligo. Mabilis ang naging kilos ko dahil sa iniwan kong trabaho na kailangan ko pang puntahan para sa meeting na a-attend-an ko mamaya.

Someone knocked and I walked in silence as I open my door and saw Leo. Kumunot ang noo ko at tinignan ang labas.

"Bakit?" Takang tanong ko.

He show me the gold folder. "Your assignment. Azure sent me this to explain this to you before the meeting."

Tinanggap ko ang hawak nya at binuksan yon. Puno nang impormasyon ang mga laman nyon at napakunot ang noo ko nang mapanilyaran ang apelyido.

"Guttierez na naman?" Hindi sinasadyang nasabi ko kaya napatingin sya sa akin.

I didn't expect him to laugh in front of me. "Sino paba? That's the family who had some darkness. Kaaway nang lahat. Maybe some of our sniper people should kill him already so no one will get involved including innocent people because of his revenge."

Napataas ang kilay ko. "I know, it's too old. Sa sobrang tagal nang mini mission to, wala pa halos magtagumpay para patayin sya." Iniligay ko ang folder sa mesa at tinignan sya. "So what are we planning for?"

I saw his eyes are amused by something. "That's why we have a meeting later, your question will be answer."

He smiled at me before closing the door. Tsaka ko lang napansin ang buhok ko na naka twalya kaya agad kong tinanggal iyon. Napapikit ako sa inis nang hindi mapansin iyon sa kakamadaling pagbuksan sya.

Nagmadali na ako sa pagkilos at tinuyo ang buhok ko. Dahil walang magawa, ginamit ko ang cell phone ko para makapag online kasabay nang sunod sunod na notif sa messenger dahil sa ingay nang mga kaibigan ko.

Chloe: @Krishiana.mag seen ka, hindi ka pwede mawala sa kasal ko.

Irish: @Chloe. Don't worry sis, a attend yan basta wag lang daw nya masalo ang bulaklak.

Some of them make an 'Haha' reaction.

Desiree: Just wishing Krish to be happy even his love life still complicated.

Nicole: Eh paano ba yan, magkakaroon paba nang chance na magkabalikan sila?

Xyria: It depends on the two people sis-in-law.

Chloe: @Everyone. Your navy blue dress will be sent into your home by Friday.

Irish: Got it sis.

Nicole: Sino ang maid of honor?

Desiree: The one and only single here ofc, peace out Krish id you read these.

Krishiana: Inaasar mo ba ako Desiree?

Irish: Hindi daw, pinaparinggan ka lang

Krishiana: Wag kayo masyadonh mag alala sa akin ha, ok lang ako. Literal na ok lang, tanggap ko na pagiging rich tita at single habang buhay.

Nicole: Gaga! Sinayang mo genes ng magulang mo tapos magiging rich tita ka lang?

Xyria: Let's see if she will be unmarried after the wedding of Chloe.

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Xy.

Krishiana: Anong sinasabi mo?

All of them just seen my message! Pilit kong pinapakalma ang sarili ko nang maramdaman ang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Ano ba itong nararamdaman ko?

Desiree: Let's see each other tonight.

Iyon na ang huling mensahe sa gc namin kaya pinatay ko na lang ang cellphone ko. Hilot ang sentido ko nang pumasok si Azure.

"Hindi pa din kita napapatawad noong huli tayong nag usap." Bungad ko sa kanya at natawa naman sya doon.

"I'm sorry, I still can't avoid you like that. It's hard to be far away from you."

Nag iwas ako ng tingin nang maramdaman na kakaiba sa sinabi nya. "Akala ko ba tapos kana dyan?"

"I thought so, but you never expect me to move on fast right? I almost be a dog just to chase and protecr you for 7 years." He almost whisper.

I bit my lower lip to stop myself to cry. Guilt eat me up slowly. Palihim kong hinawakan ang dibdib ko at nang maramdaman ang normal na tibok nyon ay tumalikod na ako sa kanya at nag kunwaring may hinahanap. I can't cry in front of him and show my weakness. I shouldn't do that.

"Pwede ka nang umalis, magkita na lang tayo sa meeting mamaya." Pigil ang emosyon na sabi ko at huminga nang malalim.

Ilang minuto pa ang bumalot sa katahimikan bago sya mag salita. "It's not about my feelings for you. I came here because you will see him later."

Kaagad akong napabaling sa kanya. "Anong sabi mo?"

Tinignan nya ako sa mata, kahit gusto ko man iiwas iyon nang may mabasa akong sakit ay hindi ko magawa. "Yes, he's from the different org but he's not an enemy so, he'll be our guest, after you go to your friends bachelor party."

Nagugulat ko syang nilingon at kasabay noon ay ang agad na pag alis nya mula sa kwarto.

Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko kasabay ang panginginig nang mga kamay ko, kasabay nang paglalabo nang paningin ko dahil sa onti onting lumalabas na emosyon mula sa akin.

I'm busy searching for my medicines when someone outside called my name. Pinipilit kong pakalmahin ang sarili ko bago mo buksan ang pinto at nakitang si Freya iyon.

"The meeting will start at five minutes." Paalala nya sa akin at tumango naman ako. Pinakatitigan pa nya ako at bumakas ang pag aalala sa itsura nya. "Are you okay? You're shaking a little bit."

Itinago ko ang panginginig nang kamay ko at pilit syang ngintian. "I'm fine, susunod na lang ako."

Mukhang nag dalawang isip pa sya bago tumango at tumalikod. Napasandal ako sa pintuan at pinikit ang mata ko. Iniisip na sana hindi makarating kay Azure ang nangyayari sa akin dahil alam kong hinding hindi nya ako lulubayan pa ulit.

I don't know when I was started to cry. Ni hindi ko man lang naramdaman kung hindi ko pa naisipan mag ayos. Kasabay niyon ay kumalma ako at tinignan ang itsura ko mula sa salamin.

"After he abandoned you, you're still strong and I'm proud of you. Even though you can't love someone because of him." Natawa ako nang sarkastiko matapos malaman ang sinabi ko. "You will get over this."

After I calm down, lumabas na ako at pinindot ang elevator mula sa basement at kasabay nang pagbukas nyon ay syang pag tama nang mata namin.

My heart was beating so fast but I can feel pain, only pain and it starts to stabbed me. I really can't even looked at him for too long or else, I'll be in the darkness again.

Tumabi ako sa bakante na upuan, kay Azure. When I started to sit, they started to talk about the plan.

"The person, Vion Guttierez will be here tomorrow, his flights are midnight so we won't have to worry. The guns will having a silencer so no innocent people will be disturbed. He will be here to get revenge and to destroy Philippines. After Axel Melendes died because of protecting his sister, Vion didn't get revenge of him and now it's the time to move because he'll be targeting the only one girl, Xyria at midnight. They're planning some hard plan, and we both know that Xyria is now pregnant of Veil. Her husband will be worried and we afraid if Veil killed some people, we won't allowed that because of one of the Boss. Now this is what we'll do.."

Pinilit ko pa din makinig nang magsalitan nang salita si Azure at Lexord. I don't know why he was doing this and I don't even have a clue why he was getting involved of our plans. Kahit na hindi ako natutuwang makita sya ay pinilit ko pa din maging normal kasabay nang paghawak ni Azure sa kamay ko para maipakalma ako.

While they're talking. Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang pag tiim ng bagang nya at sa pasimpleng sulyap nya mula sa pwesto namin ni Azure. Nakita ko lalo ang pagdilim nang tingin nya nang makita ang suot ko nang sing sing doon.

"Dude, you're out of our topic. Are you alright?" Pagpukaw ni Azure sa kanya nang makitang nakatingin sya sa suot ko.

Nag iwas sya nang tingin at hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang mga mata nya. It can't be and he should be happy now with Eyah.

"Are you two really engaged?" Halos lahat ay napatingin dahil sa isiningit nya.

"We are." I talked. All of them were looking at me. "7 years has passed, I finally free and love him without thinking of someone, so I even say yes and ready to love him for the rest of my life." Walang emosyong sambit ko sa kanya na hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang pinagsasabi ko.

Pinagsiklop ko ang kamay namin ni Azure. Maybe he understand why I acted.

"How about you, you are already happy right? With your wife?" Pukaw ni Freya sa kanya katabi si Val.

"No," Lahat kami ay napatingin sa kanya dahil sa sagot nya.

"What do you mean no?" Singit na tanong ni Val sa kanya.

He looked at me first so was I. Maybe this time, I should prove myself that I'm not affected to his presence anymore. And how I wish I'll be free loving someone more than him and let Azure loving me for the rest of our lives.

"We broke up before our marriage."
