Take Care

"Didnʼt I tell you to wait me, hmm?" malambing ang boses ni Santi habang tinatanong ako nito.

I tightly closed my eyes bago ko sinagot ang tawag ni Santi. Tumikhim ako.

"Iʼm here in the police station... Weʼll talk later, okay?"

"What happened? Is there something wrong?" sunod-sunod na tanong nito. Napabuntong hininga ako. I averted my gaze nang dumapo ito kay Ivor na nanatiling nakatitig sa akin.

"Weʼll talk later. Iʼm still here in interrogation room," dagdag ko bago nagpaalam. I sigh again.

Bakit ba pareho naming pinoproblema ang mga ama namin. Bakit ba ang titigas ng ulo ng mga ito!?

Umismid ako nang maalala ang ama ko.

"Itʼs your boyfriend?" nag-aalangang tanong ni Ivor. Bumuntong hininga ulit ako bago tumango ng mahina.

"Will you cooperate us for this, Ivor?"

I am not sure if Ivor is okay with it. Weʼve had been together for almost 8 years before, from studying in airforce 'til in training. Hanggang sa nangyari na nga ang hindi namin inaasahang pangyayari dati.

Ivor Gleth Salvaleon is a good man. He wonʼt let anyone get hurt. Isa 'yan sa mga bagay na ayaw ni Ivor-ang may masaktan sa mga kasamahan niya. Hindi ko lang agad ito namukhaan kanina dahil bukod sa nag-mature na ito, he looks more different than before. A 6 in four feet man who looked so innocent and a soft boy type before, but now is one of a hell devastatingly handsome that can make every woman dream to get under him... Well, I am not one of them. He is now taller and has those biceps and triceps in a place. Bumabakat sa itim na tʼshirt nito ang magandang hubog ng katawan that weʼll surely Cadet Del Rosario salivate. Tss!

I saw his silver gun earing in his left ear sparkled when he shook his head.

"I..." Ivor made a steeple of his fingers and slowly nod at me. "I will, Laney..." and sighed.

I know this is hard for him. Itʼs him against his father-against his dream.

"I hope youʼll understand that I am doing my job, Ivor. This is not easy for me too but I need to do my job..."

Ivor nod at me.

Pagkatapos kong kausapin si Ivor ay agad na akong nakipag-usap kay Chief Orlando para sa gagawing plano. Nagpaalam naman kami ni Alaister pagkatapos dahil kailangan pa naming e-report iyon kay Tito Darius.

"This is...unbelievable!" Napabuntong hininga ako dahil sa sinabi ni Alaister. Well, kahit naman ako hindi rin makapaniwala.

"Finally, kaunti na lang at makaka-uwi na rin tayo!" Talia excitedly said. Agad akong nakaramdam nang lungkot dahil sa sinabi nito.

Before I always craved to go home... But after what I discovered about my fatherʼs dirty secret, parang ayaw ko nang umuwi. Parang mas gugustuhin ko pang magpakalulong sa trabaho kaysa isipin iyong problema ng pamilya ko. Mas gusto ko pang takasan iyon kaysa harapin. Mas nakakapagod kasi iyon mentally and emotionally kaysa sa trabaho dito na physically lang akong mapapagod.

Kinabukasan rin ay agad na nagplano ang CIA with the cooperation of FBI para sa planong paghuli kay Mr. Ivan Gérard Salvaleon. Ivor cooperate too na mas lalong nagpadali sa pagtunton ng ama nito. I feel sad for Ivor, but happy at the same time. Finally, he can now fully accept that he did wrong for chasing his fatherʼs love and attention.

"Can you do me a favor, Lieutenant?" The sadness and pain in Ivorʼs voice is visible. Tumango ako. "Will you take care of yourself always? I am not able to protect you anymore... Donʼt let anyone harm you... Will you?" ulit nito.

Agad namuo ang luha ko. My heart clenched. I am so thankful for having this man kahit matagal na kaming hindi nagkita at nagkakasama. Now I realized that I missed him.

"I will, Ivor... Take care also..." mahina kong usal at paulit-ulit na tumango dito. I can't help myself not to feel sad. He is my friend. He's special to me. Ivor was the one who saved me from those bandits who kidnapped us before.

"Позаботься о себе всегда, Ivor..." (Take care of yourself always, Ivor...) I whispered and hugged him tight.
