Waves of Memories

Chapter 14

Nang makarating kami sa Max's ay agad siyang naghanap ng table for us.

"Avi, what do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Beef menudo and calamares will do" I answered.

"Okay, wait for me" he smiled.

When he walked away, I opened my phone and saw a text from dad.

'Mnemosyne, meeting later @ 6 pm.'

I guess this is important. Dad wouldn't text me if this is nothing.
Maybe related sa trap na nangyari.

I kept browsing on my phone when I felt Lukas' presence in front so I looked up and saw him carrying the tray.

Yes! i'm so hungry na talaga.

"Ah finally, I'm really hungry na kase" I blurted.

He chuckled then we started to eat.

"By the way, my mom wants to meet you again. We'll have dinner daw sa house" he suddenly said.

Napatingin ako sakanya at tumango.

"Kailan daw ba?" tanong ko.

"Saturday daw para walang class" he answered.

"Okay free naman ako" sabi ko.

It's already 3pm kaya naman inaya ko na siyang manuod ng movie.

"Hey Lukas, ano papanoorin natin ngayon?" I asked.

"I Care A Lot is showing now, you heard about that?" he said.

"Yes, they said it's a good movie" I answered.

Tumango siya at hinila ako para bumili ng popcorn at drinks.

Pagkatapos naming bumili ay pumila na siya para bumili ng tickets.

"Let's go?" yaya niya.

Tumango ako at nagsimulang maglakad patungo sa loob ng sinehan.

The movie started pagka upo namin kaya naman hindi na namin kailangan pa maghintay. We were casually watching when I felt his hands on my shoulders.

Chansing amp.

The next few minutes ay naramdaman kong hinawakan niya ang kamay ko kaya naman tumingin ako sakanya.

WTH. Hindi man lang nagpatinag ang kupal. Kinurot ko siya kaya natawa siya. Agad kaming sinaway ng ibang tao kaya tumahimik nalang ako.

Pinabayaan ko lang siya hanggang sa matapos ang movie.

"The movie was a blast! Marla is a guardian robber" I said while laughing.

"Yeah. she chose the wrong person" he added.

We were casually walking when we saw his friends Calvin, Jake, and Evander.

They waved at us at agad na lumapit.

"So you two are dating huh?" panunukso ni Calvin.

Agad ko naman siyang inirapan kaya natawa ang mga katabi niya.

"Obviously bro, tinatanong pa ba 'yan?" pagmamayabang ni Lukas kaya kinurot ko.

"Wala ka pala bro eh" tukso sakanya ni Evander.

Inambahan ni Lukas ng suntok si Evander kaya napataas naman ng kamay ito.

We continued talking until we both decided to go home.

"Mga bro una na kami, ihahatid ko pa si Avi eh" paalam ni Lukas.

"Sure bro, maghahanap pa kami ng girls" tawa tawang sabi ni Calvin.

Tumawa lang ako at nagpaalam na rin.

When we arrived at the house agad na binuksan ni Lukas ang pintuan. Wow gentleman na talaga.

"Goodbye, Avi. See you" he said.

"Goodbye Lukas, see you" sabi ko.

He hugged me.

Agad naman akong pumasok sa bahay para mag bihis. 5pm na kaya kailangan kong magmadali baka ma late pa ako sa meeting.

Suot ko ang aking Boxy Faux Leather jacket na pinaresan ng skinny jeans at Gothic ankle boots.

Agad kong pinaandar ang aking Ducati Desmosedici.

Mabilis na nakarating ako sa HQ kaya agad akong pumasok sa Conference room. Napansin kong marami na sila sa loob kaya tinignan ko ang aking relo.

5:57 pm. Shoot muntikan na.

"Finally you're here. We'll be starting in a few minutes" Boss said.

Nilibot ko ang aking paningin at napansin na halos lahat ng nasa loob ay ang mga taong matataas ang posisyon. This is serious.

Nang pumatak ang alas sais ay agad na sinimulan ang meeting.

"Good evening. I guess you already know that our agenda for tonight is serious" Boss started.

"The BLCK Organization is connected to this" he continued.

Fck. They're making a move again. BCLK Org. is our top rival. They smuggle, push drugs, and even assassinate the government officials.

In short, stopping them is our top priority. It's been a year since they stopped. Akala namin 'yun na.

"Last week, Mnemosyne stopped a transaction but to our surprise it was a trap. Mnemosyne saw through it that she even caught the spy here" he explained.

Seryoso lamang na nakikinig ang lahat at naghihintay lang sa bawat salitang bibitawan.

"The spy we caught have a tattoo in his back, then the next day one of our clients were found dead inside her room. The BLCK Org. left a letter beside her" Boss said.

So this is it huh. We need to move quickly before they kill all our clients.

"I summoned all of you here to let you know the current situation of our organization. Of course I have my plans already" he continued.

Agad namang tumango ang lahat.

"I will let the Alpha team handle the smuggling later. I will order them na pasabugin ang ship na naglalaman ng mga illegal drugs and cars" he explained.

Good. Kase nakakapagod na makipag habulan kay kamatayan. I need a rest.

The meeting continued smoothly kaya agad din itong natapos. Nang palabas na ako ay nakita kong nag aabang ang dalawang babaita kaya agad akong lumapit.

"So ano na Mnemosyne?" Athena asked.

"I'll let boss handle them first. Na s-stress na talaga ako" I said while walking.

Tumango naman si Gaia kaya naman hindi na nagtanong pa si Athena.

Lumabas na kami ng HQ at napagdesisyunan na pumunta muna sa DQ para kumain ng ice cream.

"Hey Rese, kailan mo ba talaga ipapakilala boyfriend mo?" tanong ni Luna.

"Friday na mga bes, pupunta daw siyang school susunduin niya ako" sagot niya.

"When kaya ako susunduin sa school" sabi naman ni Luna.

"Gaga ikaw nga araw araw sinusundo ni Luke" bara sakanya ni Rese.

Tumawa lang ako kaya agad silang napalingon sa'kin.

"Hoy Avrielle, ano na? jowa mo na?" tanong ng walanghiyang si Rese.

"Gaga hindi pa, hard to get ako 'no tsaka hindi pa nga nanliligaw" sagot ko.

"Ay ano ka ba naman bes, nagliligaw na 'yon. Kaya nga nanghingi ng chance diba?" sabi ni Luna.

"Oo nga, manhid mo bes" dagdag ña ni Rese.

"Aba sorry naman ho ano" sabi ko sabay irap.

"Tatanungin ko nalang sa Saturday" dagdag ko.
