Chapter twelve: Help

"Stop, pahinga muna ako." Sabi ko kala Saya na patuloy pa rin akong tinuturuan magsparring. Oo na, kailangan ko nang matuto gumawa ng strategies. 

Tinuruan na rin nila ako humawak ng baril and how to aim it straight to the head, yes. Ganon na ako ka-tanga lumaban. 

"I think we should stop here," Sabi ni Enzo sabay palakpak. I think he's proud dahil succesful ang plano niya. Napagod ako! "Darling, are you tired?" 

Tumango ako, "Yeah. Bukas nalang ulit." 

Napagdesisyonan na naming umuwi kaya sumakay na kami ng kotse. Naging mabilis ang biyahe namin at wala namang naging fast and furious action kineme sa daan. Enzo was just silent the whole ride. May iniisip to. 

"Dito ka na naman ba matutulog?" Tanong ko pagkalapag ng gamit ko sa lamesa. He sat on the couch that he bought for me. Yeah, binilan niya na ng gamit ang place ko. 

"Can I sleep here again?" He looked at me with his hopeful eyes. Ang cute bakit ganon? I sighed before answering him. 

"Do you want to sleep here? It's your decision." I wore an apron, magluluto ako. Hindi na sumagot si Enzo kaya paglingon ko sa kanya bagsak na siya sa couch. I smiled while observing him. Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko at kumuha ng isang kumot para sa kanya. Malamig kasi. 

I placed the comforter on top of him, he looks so peaceful and innocent while sleeping. Parang wala lang sa kanya ang mga trahedya na nangyayari ngayon sa buhay niya. One being pressured because he is the heir, two his family problems, and lastly his undying emotion that he feels towrds me. 

Naisip ko nang ireject siya, pero some part of me kahit one percent lang na iniisip, that it's not bad to give him a second chance. To be honest kung wala lang akong isa pang ex, babalikan ko na siya. Pero si Cassian kasi, he gave up everything for my happiness. 

While Enzo he will give up his own life for my protection. 

They're both perfect guys, and I'm here having so many flaws and conflicts. Maraming galit sa akin, sobra. Pero silang dalawa lang ang tumanggap sa akin ng ganito. 

Naalala ko tuloy yung isang beses na umamin ako sa taong gusto ko nung highschool, before Enzo. 

"Gusto kita." I said while looking directly at his eyes. Ngunit malakas siyang tumawa ng malakas at naagaw namin ang buong atensyon sa cafeteria. 

"Oh ano gagawin ko? Tingin mo gusto din kita? You're stupid, and you don't care about your grades. I hate those kinds of women." Ouch, sobrang sakit naman non. 

I should've just stayed silent. Because in silence I am the only one that can own you. 

Pero ngayon, dalawa na sila. Na nagkakandarapa para sa akin. Ganon ba ako kaganda?

I kissed him in the cheeks, "you deserve the universe. You don't deserve me darling." 

Bumalik na ako sa kusina at nagsimula nang magprepare ng ulam. I cooked pork adobo, nagcrave kasi ako bigla ng Filipino dish. Naghain na ako ng bowl at chopsticks. Tinanggal ko na ang pagkasuot ko sa apron bago lapitan si Enzo. 

Magiisang oras na siyang natutulog ah. I gently tapped his arms pero ayaw niya pa rin magising. 

"Darling, food is ready. You should wake up so that it wont get cold." Sabi ko ng may malambing na tono. 

It took him about a minute before opening his eyes, he smiled when we made eye contact. Umupo siya ng maayos at nagulat nalang ako sa susunod niya ginawa. He kissed me. Mabilis lang siya, but it was sweet. Kinikilig ako wait lang inhale, exhale, Ravenna. 

"Wow, you cooked adobo?" Tanong niya at tumango naman ako. He washed his hands before sitting in front of the food. 

"Tebemono o arigato." He said before digging in the food. I can tell that he's happy. Ibang iba siya kagaya nung una naming pagkikita. He was giving out a fake smile to everyone, at ako lang ang nakakapuna ng totoo niyang kasiyahan. 

"Are you happy?" Hindi na ko nakapag-pigil at nagtanong na. He slightly nodded. 

"Where did that question came from?" 

Umiling ako sa kanya, "No where. You're just genuinely happy right now. And I want to know if your happy because your with me or because of the food." 

"I'm always happy, darling. Happy with you, rather." 

We finished the food and I offered to wash the dishes, sinabi ko sa kanya na magpahinga nalang siya. 

I dried my wet hands before going to him. He was reading the letter my mom wrote before she died. I don't really mind, siya naman ang nagbabasa at hindi naman iba. I trust him, and he trusts me. 

"I'm sorry for your lost, mind giving me more details on why you're here and how you ended here? Also, do you wan't me to help you find your younger brother?" He asked so many questions so I don't know which one to answer first. 

"We had a mission, because the stellards and Remingtons decided to team up and stop us, the Hendrix corporation. We had a fake launching and invited Remington and Stellard. And then there was a big war, my mom was killed by Stellard but we killed those two leaders. And why I ended here..." I sighed before continuing my story. 

"I saw my boyfriend kissing the suspect or the person who killed professor Alferez our original mission. And that's why I killed that girl and my position was taken off. Pero babalik ako sa Pilipinas pag namatay na yung dad ko at kailangan ko na asikasuhin yung companya." 

"Hmm... How ironic that you still broke up with that dude. But your brother? Do you have any idea where he is?" Tanong niya muli. 

"I have an Idea who the father is, it's Stellard but we killed him. And I don't have an idea to where my lil bro is." Sagot ko, he tapped his side. Maybe ordering me to sit beside him. 

Tumabi naman ako sa kanya at isinandal niya ang ulo ko sa balikat niya sabay yakap sa akin ng mahigpit. "You keep on asking me if I'm alright but you can't even ask yourself if you're alright. Darling, okay ka pa ba?" Simpleng tanong na nagpalambot sa akin, doon na ako tuluyang umiyak. 

Hindi na ako makapagsalita dahil sa paghihikbi ko. "Shh, darling. I'll help you find your brother. And I'll make you happy. Darling, even if the whole world is against you remember that I'm here. Listening to your problems and trying to make you feel better." 

And with that nakatulog ako.
