I've Been Executed

Chapter 35

Zajei's POV

"Why the hell did you know each other?!" Sigaw ko while I'm on the road with Rage dahil hindi ko na nagawa pang sumama kay Ma'am.

She just literally grabbed Rage' arm at dinala ito sa kung saan tapos hindi na siya bumalik pa.

Si Rage nalang ang nagsabi sa'kin na sinundo na raw ito ng asawa n'ya which is partly true somehow dahil nakita ko nga ang aswang na sea creature na bitbit si Sven palabas ng bar.

Damn it.

Nakakainis kaya! Ang lakas manghila ni Ma'am kanina tapos iiwan din pala ako sa ere pagkatapos nilang mag-usap ni Rage.

"Reagan!"

"Easy, Zajei Loure." Natatawang bigkas nito habang abala sa pagd-drive. "Kaya pala familiar si crush mo, s'ya pala si Savi."

Inis na napahilamos ako sa aking mukha bago s'ya tingnan ng masama. "Can you just fvcking tell me why do you know her?"

"She's a good friend."

"Ayan lang?" Naninigurado kong tanong dahil bitin ako sa sagot n'ya. "Where did you met her?"

"California. . . Baka nakakalimutan mo kung ano ang apelyidong hawak n'ya bago s'ya nagpakasal sa asawa n'ya." He shrugged his shoulder and playfully looked at me. "Too bad, hindi mo s'ya nakilala noong nasa US ka pa edi sana wala s'yang asawa ngayon tapos baka ikaw pa ang girlfriend n'ya." He chuckled loudly reason for me to frustratedly slammed the dashboard.

"You moron! Hindi ka nakakatulong!"

"Hey ako nagbibigay ng info sa'yo!" Bwelta nito pero inirapan ko lang s'ya while trying to compose myself.

"James." I mumbled under my breath at inalala kung ano ang koneksyon ng pamilya n'ya sa pamilya ko. Agad akong napasinghap nang maalala ko ang isang bagay. "Damn it!"

"Ano? You remember it now?"

Hindi ako nagsalita bagkus ay napasabunot lang ako sa sarili kong buhok.

Tangina, how can I ever forget that surname? Ayun ang katulong sa kaso na hinawakan ng grandparents ko before they died!

"Rape, frustrated murder and child abuse, plus smuggling. Atty. Hilda Corten handled one of the top mystery case in New York City together with Atty. Aviela James. Even the Great Prosecutor Saijen Corten helped solving the mystery. To sum it up, as expected, they won. They leave a legacy but ended up lying in a coffin. . . Months after they won the case, their lifeless body found in their own office. Murderers left no trace behind---"

"Enough!" I screamed while holding both of my ear.

Slowly, my tears falls endlessly. My eyesight became blurry habang nakatingin ako sa kawalan.

That experience left a big scar on my mind. It left me a traumatic experience because I was the one who first saw their lifeless bodies. All of 'em. My grandparents are pinned of the wall, their hands are tied up and it looks like they made fun of 'em.

The autopsy showed na mula sa malayo sila binaril pero it also resulted that they tortured them first. Ang daming sugat sa katawan nila. Their bloods are scattered all over the room.

They assassinate them but they traumatized them first.

I saw in my own eyes how Atty. Aviela James hang on the wall with multiple gun shot. I clearly saw the exact place kung saan sila natagpuan na walang buhay.

I tried to forget that moment.

But I definitely can't.

I had several nightmares because of that kaya matapos ng burial ng grandparents ko ay agad akong iniuwi ng magulang ko sa Pilipinas. They didn't let me stay at our house in New York dahil paulit-ulit ko lang naaalala ang lahat.
