La Muerte #3: Hiraeth (COMPLETED)

Special Chapter

Caroline Felicity Kings

Imagine how bothersome and heavy it is to know anyone's secrets, to see everyone's past just by looking at their eyes, to see someone's deepest, darkest and hideous past. People might say it's a blessing, people might say it's a great ability to have, but to me, it just feels like a burden.

"Wag mo akong nginingitian diyan Madel."

Inis na sabi ni tatay kay ate Madel nang malamang may panibagong misyon nanaman ito at matagal siyang hindi makakauwi.

"Sorry."

I mouthed to ate, napanguso lang ito. They asked me what ate is doing and I couldn't lie to them so I ended up saying what I saw using my ability to see the past. 

"Tatay naman hindi naman ganoon kadelikado itong misyon ko ngayon, saka bibisita ako."

Napakamot ulong sabi nito.

"You know how much we dislike you being an agent! We were always worried!"

Nakapamewang na sabi naman ni nanay. 

"You can just manage your mother's company or the empire Madeline, no need to risk your life to earn money."

Problemadong sabi naman ni tatay, bumukas ang pintuan at iniluwa noon ang kararating lang na si Theodore galing sa eskwela. Nangunot ang noo nitong takang tinignan sila ate at lumapit saakin.

"Girl, anong chismis?"

Tanong ng bunso namin, I'm six years older than him, he's 11 while I am already 17. He also has silver eyes, but he looks exactly like our father.

"The usual."

I shrugged, umupo siya sa tabi ko at nakidakot sa pop corn na kinakain ko.

"I don't want to manage our business, I want to be a soldier but you two didn't allow me so I became an agent instead."

She shrugged.

"Plus I am 26, I want to earn my own money and be independent. Saka nag iingat naman ako, my ability is also handy, I don't need to fight up close right? and nanay also check before I go to missions. I am a high tier, one of the best agents of the organization, sa mga kalaban ko dapat kayo mag alala!"

Reklamo niyang ikinatawa ni Theodore.

"Tama, mala hulk yang si ate eh, kingkong saka hulk na pinagfusion."

Singit ni Theodore, tinignan tuloy siya ng masama nila ate, nanay at tatay na nagpatikom lamang sa bibig niya, nailing nalang ako. 

"Nagcomment lang eh, grabe kayo."

Nguso ni Theodore.

It's true, Ate Madeline is the best sniper in the organization she's working as an agent. Since she has an incredible vision, she can also calculate when and where she will hit because of her eyes. Her eyes can see clearly even if it's far away than a normal person does. She is also really good at fighting so I am not really worried that she will easily get hurt.

"You're a sniper so why do you have to be a body guard on your next mission?"

Kunot noong sabi ni tatay saka humaukipkip, si nanay naman ay marahas lang na napabuga ng hangin at napaupo.

"Cause they need a high tier agent for this mission and other agents were not available so it has to be me. And I just have to guard him, hindi naman araw araw ay may magtatangka sakaniya, I just have to accompany him, that's all!"

She explained nangunot ang noo roon ni tatay.

"Him?! is he single? mas pogi ba saaki---"

"Mas pogi kayo tay syempre! babaliin ko ang kamay kapag hinawakan ako."
