Shot by You [COMPLETED]

Chapter 12

"You need to guard them from here... to here," ani Drag sa dalawang lalaking nasa harapan. He's been giving them orders and assignments para sa out of town na bakasyon namin nina Sandrine.

It was supposed to be an out of the country trip, pero dahil sa mga naging restrictions para sa safety protocols ay sa bansa lang din kami makakapag-bakasyon.

I was watching them with my arms crossed. They were assigned to protect me. May iba pang miyembrong kasama but I prefer them to be near me than hide in the dark when guarding me.

Ang sistema ay iimbitahin ko rin sila kunyari sa bakasyon namin nina Sandrine. This trip won't be easy. Kasama namin si Sandro at Sandrine, the two most important figures of Spain.

Mahigpit ang magiging seguridad namin. Maging ang pupuntahan naming lugar ay palilibutan ng mga bantay. They will execute the plan na para bang wala lang. The guards will blend in with other tourists so none of the siblings will notice.

I sighed as I went out of the room. Ilang araw ng pinagpa-planuhan ang bagay na ito and I'm getting sick of it. Pagkaakyat ko mula sa basement ay naabutan ko si mommy na nagbe-bake ng cookies. She was even humming while baking.

"Are you all done?" Tanong nito pagkakita sa akin.

"Sila hindi pa, ako? I'm getting sick of it, Mom," sagot ko rito.

Umupo ako sa high-chair na nakaharap sa lababo. I was watching her bake the whole time. Maya't maya ako nitong sinusubuan para matikman kung tama na ang lasa ng ginagawa niya.

Nang mainip na ay umakyat ako sa kwarto. I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling. Hindi mawala sa isip ko ang ginawa at sinabi ni Sandro kahapon. It's just.... it's really melted me.

Tumunog ang cellphone ko. Kaagad ko itong kinuha at sinagot. Hindi ko man nakita kung sino ang tumawag ay sinagot ko pa rin iyon. I stayed silent upon answering my phone. Wala akong masabi.

"Hearing you breathe is nice but it would be better if you'd talk," anito sa magaspang na boses.

"Ano naman ang sasabihin ko?" Kunot-noo kong tanong. I bit my lip in anticipation.

"Hmm, let me think," anito sa malalim na boses. I heard his deep breaths and I honestly feel jittery.

I waited for him to talk again but seconds passed and he didn't muttered a single word.

"You dumb ass. Why did you call me if you're just gonna sleep while we're on the phone," naiinis kong sabi.

"Finally, you spoke around twenty words," he suddenly said and chuckled.

"Tss. Whatever," I said and rolled my eyes. "Why did you call?"

"I just want to. Bakit? Bawal ba?" Tanong nito na parang nagtatampo.

"May sinabi ba ako? Nagtatanong lang ako kung bakit," sagot ko.

"Hindi mo ako kinausap simula kaninang umaga," he pointed out.

"Huh? Am I obligated to talk to you everyday?" Sarkastiko kong tanong.

"No. But I want you to be held responsible with your actions," he said, authoritatively.

"Pwede bang diretsuhin mo nalang ako? Andami mo pang paligog-ligoy," naiinip kong sabi

I heard him chuckle on the other line.

"Impatient," anito. "Pagkatapos mo akong akitin? Pahulugin sa'yo...... iiwasan mo na ako? 'Di kakausapin?" Nang-aakusa nitong sabi.

"Woah. Hold it right there, Mister. Kailan kita nilandi? Inakit? Pinahulog? I wasn't even making a move then," mayabang kong sagot.
