Blood And Tears

Kabanata 13

CELESTE

A group of policemen arrived in our area, but they are too late to rescue us when Hunter's man flew away.

Perfect timing for us to make Shiva believes that enemies attack us. But this guy, Roro, saved and helped us.

I took Shiva's cardigan from her car and covered it to her shivering body.

She's still shocked at what happened; it seems like she never witnesses any trouble.

Poor her, she never thought what kind of life she has--- a heiress of whole spiders, yet afraid of their own ghost.

How could this woman creates trouble in other lives when she can't face her made disaster

"Who's that guy?" Shiva asked while her lips trembled.

"I don't know." tipid kong sagot at hindi ko rin naman talaga siya kilala at wala akong balak na kilalanin siya.

"Where's my pouch?" Shiva asked again and handed her white pouch.

Marahas siyang huminga ng malalim at inayos ang tindig. Hindi na ako nagtaka kung sa paano niya umasta.

She never let other see her fear and composed herself into a fierce one, a strong independent woman but actually a naive and weak, Shiva.

Now, I'm seeing her inner soul--- mas mahina pala siya sa ina-akala ko. Not so good to waste my time.

Sinundan ko siya at nilapitan niya ang mga pulis, she even took a plenty of money from her pouch.

Officers stared at her and she furiously slapped the money to them, "Make everything confidential. Walang lalabas sa media. All I need is to find out who the hell ambush us. Get it?"

"P-pero ma'am,"

"Kulang pa?" mataray na sabi ni Shiva.

Mukhang kahit mamatay na siya sa kaba ay magagawa pa rin niyang ilabas ang pekeng sungay at buntot niya.

Tss! Akala mo kung sinong matapang ngayon halos ma ihi naman sa salawal kanina.

"Oh ayan," sabay hampas ulit ni Shuva ng cheque sa dibdib ng pulis.

"Kapag nagawa mo ang inu-utos ko, dodoblehin ko ang bayad sa'yo at siguraduhin kong tataas ang ranggo mo." napatingin ang pulis sa may cheque at halata sa panlalaki ng mata niya ang gulat sa presyong binayad ni Shiva.

Tumikhim iyon at nakangiting tumango kay Shiva, "Sige po ma'am, kami ng bahala rito."

"Good," sabay sensyas ni Shiva at umalis sa harapan namin ang lalaki.

"They are stupidly into money," ngising sabi ni Shiva at gusto ko siyang irapan.

"Money are the lord of everyone, don't be silly to judge them, dahil parehas lang naman kayo."

"Anong sinabi mo?" sabay harap niya sa akin at ang taas ng kilay niya.

"You are working hard for all your shits dahil sa pera diba? Then so they are, Shiva. Mapalad ka lang dahil mas mayaman ka sa kanila--- pero ang totoo pare-parehas kayong mga buwaya."

"Bitch!" sigaw ni Shiva at ini-angat ang kamay para sampalin ako.

Hindi ako kumurap man lang at hinintay ang pag dapo noon sa akin pero agad na lumaki ang mata ni Shiva at humagod ang tingin naming dalawa sa lalaking na sa likuran niya.

He's actually tall, mas matangkad nga lang si Hunter sa kaniya--- sa tingin ko ay mas mataas lang siya ng kaunti kay Rian.

"Isn't rude how you treat your twin that way?" sabay kaming na samid ni Shiva pero na unang tumawa si Shiva.
