Chapter eighteen: Set up

"So let me get this straight, you want me to control you everytime your ate will call, or anything connected to the people in the Philippines that wants you back there?" Napahawak siya sa baba niya habang umiikot ikot sa kwarto namin. Yes kwarto namin, dahil gusto niya sa iisang silid nalang. 

Pero hindi kami natutulog sa iisang kama, siya sa couch na malapit sa kama. 

Tumango ako sa kanya, "Yes. Control me and make it look like I don't care and give them the cold treatment. Baka kung ako mismo ang kumausap baka iwan na kita dito, like sayonara bitch." Natawa siya sa sinabi ko. 

"You are already learning nihongo huh? That's bad." Sabi niya bago umupo sa sa harap ng study desk. He opened is laptop before starting to type. We're in the middle of a conversation at inuna niya pa talaga yan? How rude! 

"And why would you I control you again, simple hypnosis can lead to major headaches more often, yung naranasan mo 3 days ago mild palang dahil first time lang maranasan ng utak mo yun. There are many side effects that can happen when we continue this type of hypnosis." Sabi niya bago bitbitin ang laptop at tumabi sa akin. 


"Like what?"

"You can faint very often at any time or matter, you may have serious mood swings, or you may have selective amnesia where a certain scene or scenario will be forgotten by your brain and carry on the usual day like nothing happened." After hearing that parang nagdalawang isip na ko. 

"See, now you don't know what to do. Are you going to take the risk? Or you can just act cold and you don't care if the world knows you exist or not." I can take the risk, pero kung pipiliin ko ang pagaacting baka mabobo lang ako. Dapat kay Kaede binigay yung acting na yan, she wants to be an actress. 

And yet again she is not here and she doesn't need to act like this. 

"I'll take the risk then." Sagot ko kaya napaangat ang tingin niya sa akin. 

"I can't believe you, pero ano pa bang magagawa ko. When you decide, you never change your mind again." Sabi niya bago umiling. 

Napaawang ang labi ko, hindi naman ako ganon! "Sore wa usodesu!" Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay bago magpatuloy sa ginagawa niya sa laptop niya. 

"Ma, hontoni?" Sabi niya habang nagta-type pa rin sa laptop. Kung ayaw niyang maniwala edi wag! Hindi ko dapat sinasayang ang oras ko sa mga taong ayaw makinig sayo. 

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at lumipat sa isang kwarto designed for me, it's a room full of books. The room's design is galaxy or the solar system and the shelves are white. At pinuno nila ng mga libro, saan sila nakahanap ng mga tagalog na libro? At yung iba naman english novels that I haven't heard of in my whole life. 

I picked up a book called 'Love is a game' umupo ako sa carpet at nagbasa, this boook is about 400 pages but I can finish this in no sweat. 

Wala manlang nagbigay sa akin ng warning na nakakaiyak pala nito, the girl died because of the man that loved her so much that it destroyed her. Their love was so pure but they still managed to break each other, what kind of crap is that? 

You don't consider that as love because it hurts, when there is pain it's not called love. 

Bumukas ang pinto kaya nilingon ko kung sino yun, nanlaki ang mata niya nang makita akong umiiyak. Mugto na siguro yung mga mata ko ngayon, these tears has been going for about 15 minutes. 

"Why are you crying?" Tanong niya nilingon ko yung librong natapos ko na at sinundan niya yung tingin ko. Ibinalik ni Enzo yung libro kung saan ko yun kinuha bago ako lapitan. 

"Let me guess, you finished a tragic book?" Tumango ako sa kanya, umiling nalang siya bago ako alalayan patayo. Nagkibit-balikat siya bago magsalita muli, "Fix yourself pupunta tayo sa underground." I checked my wristwatch at nakita kong 11:49pm na. 

"Ano naman ang gagawin natin doon in this hour? Iinom?" 

"No, business." 

Nauna na akong umalis ng library kineme area namin at nagpalit ng white jogger pants with a red shirt, and add a leather jacket. 

I wore my mask bago ilock ang unit namin with the keycard. 

Kaya ako nagsuot ng leather jacket para doon ko itatago yung hand gun ko, incase na may surprise attack sa amin. 

"Darling, remember what I taught you. How many people are watching us at the moment?" Tanong niya habang nakatingin parin ng diretso sa pavement na dinadaanan namin. 

2 days ago tinuruan niya ako kung paano makiramdam sa lugar, it took Enzo to master that kind of instinct about  5 years. At ito na ang test kung talagang fast learner ako. 

"6 people 7 o'clock, 4 on 11 o'clock and 2 on 3 o'clock." I saw him flash a smirk before turning to me. Our gaze met and our eyes were like communicating. May plano na to agad. 

Bumagal ng bumagal ang lakad namin bago ako maglabas ng baril. I aimed it at 3 o'clock at boom tumama nga sa isang lalaki. Narinig ko ang daing niya sa sakit ng tama ng bala kaya nilapitan ko yun. Yung isa naman ay  nandoon pa sa gilid, he was trying to pull the trigger directly at my head but I saw his move and shot his gun before ending his life. 

"Shit." Sabi ko nang may sumipa ng baril ko, I was reloading it pero naunahan ako gumawa ng hakbang. 

I dodged his punch before kicking him in the ass. I got my knife from my bun and slashed his neck causing his blood to be on my knife. Dinampot ko yung baril ko at kinasa ito, I shot the man that was charging at Enzo. 

I also used the knife and throwed it to the person with a sniper. Kahit nasa malayo ka, I can feel you asshole. 

The game went the same until we finished the last man. 

Maglalakad na sana kami muli pero may nakita akong isang camera na nakatutok mismo sa pinaglabanan namin. 


"It's a fucking set up." Malamig kong sinabi, we don't have time for these kind of mysteries. We need to find the person that watched us here.
