My Assassin Girl

21. Accepting Nightmares

Minutes of silence between them.

Would you mind,if I also ask your past?'" walang atubiling tanong ni Alexander.

"They are all nightmares to me". sagot ni Margaux.

"I see...I never thought that an assassin like you still have nightmares". pang aasar ni Alexander sakanya.

"That was before gangster. I had always nightmares about all the bad happenings in my life but I had to move on.And see, now I am already someone's nightmare". as Margaux defend herself.

"How would you have done it?". Alexander asked.

"What you mean? Killing people or so?you already knew the answers". si Margaux.

"No..I mean how you have done that to be my beautiful nightmare?" Alexander smiles at her.

What he said surprises her. Na sobrahan ata sya sa kape at nag papalpitate sya.

Dahil sa tensyon na nadarama ni Margaux ay tumayo na sya sa pagkaka upo..

"Let's go". pagyaya nya kay Alexander at maka iwas sa tensyong namagitan sa kanila.

"Where we will go?'. takang tanong ni Alexander.

"I hear hell is particularly nice at this time of year". pang aasar na sagot nya kay Alexander.

"Ahh..sounds exciting!" Alexander chuckles.

Umiiling nalang si Margaux. Somehow, being with Alexander make her felt comfortable. Since he knews she was an assassin there is no need to be coy.

"Ahh by the way Nathalia, can I invite you for a dinner at my place?when its okay on your schedules."pagyayaya ni Alexander kay Margaux.

"Is there any occassion or so?''. si Margaux.

"No..but since I share to you my nightmares it means that you already became a big part in my life.Maybe you would still like more to hear my nightmares?". seryosong tanong ni Alexander.

Natahimik sa Margaux.She can see the young Alexander back then. Ang sarap nitong baby-hin pero pinipigilan nya ang kanyang sarili na mahulog lalo dito.

"Sige...I will come.around what time ba?". she agreed.

"Around 6pm. And you know my address right?you've been there once". may ngiting aso ang pagkasabi nito.

"Yes. I still remembers it,gangster". diin na sagot ni Margaux.

"So, will be waiting you there baby". naka flashed ang pinaka gwapong ngiti nito.

Margaux went back home na may ngiti sa mga labi nya. Sa wakas nahanap na nya ang matagal na nyang gustong mahanap. Handa syang makinig sa mga nightmares ni Alexander.Willing syang maging sumbungan nito. And maybe at some point, matutulongan pa nya itong mahanap ang killer na pumatay sa daddy nito...bilang kapalit sa pagligtas nito sakanya dati, handa syang maging sandigan ni Alexander.

Pagkatapos ihanda nya ang sarili ay nagpaalam si Margaux kina Madam Dee,Madam Lu at kay Lexie.Sinabi nya sa mga ito na bibisitahin nya ang kanyang dating bahay .Yun din plano nya dati pa..ang bisitahin ang kanilang mansyon bago sya tutungo kay Third.

Kahit naging assassin na sya,may isang tao pa rin ang nakaka alam na buhay pa ang isang Margaux Nathalia Ong. Si. Atty. Romero ay ang kanilang family lawyer. Ang lahat ng property ng kanyang mga magulang ay sakanya napunta at nakapangalan ang lahat. Pero ang tanging alam lang nito ay wala sya sa bansa. They are still communicating each other through writing emails at minsan pa skype. But she still kept on telling him na di pa sya muna uuwi sa bansa.
