C E V O R – X A V E R I O
In my own way, I have showed people the power I have and possessed. I am the living proof of suffering itself. I live with the meaning of my name. I am powers.
I made a promise to mom and to everyone who has made me to this person I am today; gusto kong maramdaman nila ang hapdi ng apoy, ang sakit ng mawalan, ang paulit-ulit na masaktan sa parehong sugat habang buhay.
The door of my office opened wide. A sophisticated woman entered with scrutinizing eyes on me.
"I know one thing and that is the Rusciana Mafia would be angered to what you did, Cevor. But what is this report I read that there seen no reaction coming from their leader? Anong pinag-usapang niyo ni Rusell para hindi siya maki-alam sa mga binabalak mo?" Mabigat ang mga kamay niyang nilapag ang hawak-hawak na mobile pad sa lamesa.
Gwen is a smart woman. Walang bobo sa pamilya namin. We have became the powerful family both underground and legal businesses dahil sa talino, sipag, at kakayahan namin.
Inalis ko ang pagkakasandal ng mga kamay ko sa lamesa at tinanggal ang putting belo na nakatakip sa mukha. Pinakita ko sa kaniya ang walang ka-interes ko sa mga katanungan niya.
"I have the control, don't worry." I said nonchalantly.
"So, may pinag-usapan nga kayo?" Basing from her stares at me, she confirmed something.
"I don't have to explain everything to you, and you'll follow as I say." Tumayo ako mula sa pagkaka-upo at nilapitan ang tray table na naglalaman ng mga inumin.
"Bakit ang tigas ng ulo mo, Cevor? Kailan ka ba titigil sa pakikipagkita sa lalaking 'yon! That is insane!" Umalingawngaw ang sigaw niya sa buong silid.
Hinarap ko siya at tinaasan ng kilay, "I am doing everything in my power to maintain the momentum with the other pillars. It is my duty to protect my people and you knew it very well, Gwen!" I raised my voice.
"Akala mo ba hindi ko alam ang mga palabas niyo, Cevor? You think you can fool everyone with your fake shows? You really think I would fall for something so bizarre and stupid?" Lumapit siya sa akin at nagtagisan kami ng titig. An eye for an eye.
"I know nothing about this musing." I pour a glass of wine to avoid her angered expression.
"Alam kong alam mo, Cevor so fucking look me in the eyes like a normal brother would do to his sister. Ikaw ang nasa posisyon pero kapatid mo pa rin ako. Don't avert your gaze. Dahil sa lintik mong mga mata ay kitang-kita ko ang katotohanan!"
"I order you to stop, Gwen. This is the only warning I'm giving you." I said with conviction.
"Sa isang buwan nakikipagkita ka sa leader ng mga Rusciana, your ex-lover, Rusell. The same man who ordered the assassination of your mother. At first I saw it as peace talk, like your fuck-up alibi, but no, I found something more, Cevor." Mainit at mapanuri ang mga tingin na binibigay niya sa akin.
She stepped closer at mahigpit na hinawakan ang balikat ko. Her grip was painful but I remained composed. I don't want her to see me in vein. I am strong, I kept telling myself that.
She pushed herself closer and whispered the words I was afraid to hear. The truth I tried to hide from everyone,
"You are sleeping with the enemy."
Hinablot ko ang kamay na nakahawak sa balikat ko at tinulak siya. It was a strong push but she wasn't clearly affected by the look she's giving me.
"I will remind you, Cevor. You can keep a secret from Nhaze or dad, but not me. I know everything about you. And I'm telling you to stop seeing that obsessed man you're seeing."
