Chapter twenty-two: Drink


We just landed at tulog si Luke na buhat ni Enzo. 


Aidan picked the city where there is the least population in Japan, matalinong bata pero bobo lang siya sa part na marami kakayahan ang agency nila Enzo. 


Papunta kami ngayon sa location ni Aidan, hindi ko alam kung ano dapat iexpect ko, na sunog siya? We were caught on fire on that mission and we didn't see him out. 


Many possibilities na pwedeng mangyari, pwedeng patayin niya ko on the spot at makita yun ni Luke at trauma na yun sa kanya sa buong existence niya. 


Nagising na si luke at naghikab hikab pa. Medyo timing din naman at nakarating na kami sa bahay na tinutuluyan ni Aidan. 


I knocked three times pero walang sumasagot, umiinit ang dugo ko. Hindi ko kailangan ubusin ang panahon ko sa ganito. Kahit makita ni Luke ang gagawin ko wala na akong pake, I would rather explain myself to Luke than put our lives at stake. 


Buong pwersa kong sinipa ang pinto at bumungad sa akin si Austin...


"What the fuck are you doing here?" Galit kong tanong sa kanya, "Diba nasa Pinas ka? Tangina ako na ngayon ang susundan mo?" 


"Language, darling. Luke is watching." Bulong ni Enzo. Austin turned his gaze to the little boy Enzo is carrying. 


"Who do we have hear? May anak pala kayo?" Austin put out his devilish smirk before walking towards Luke. 


"He's my brother, now answer me where the hell is Aidan and why are you here?" I said coldly, narinig namin ang mga tapak ng mga paa na papalapit sa amin, I saw Aidan with... Yvethe?!


"Are you seriously kidding me? This day could not get any worse." Umirap ako. 


"So since alam ko naman ang pakay niyo dito, could we cut to the crap chase?" Sabi ni Aidan at naglabas ng dalawang bote ng alak. 


"We're not drinking, impossibleng walang lason yang iinumin natin." 


"Oh come on baby, just have a little sit and a chillnuman." Doon tuluyang nagalit si Enzo at biglang sinuntok si Austin. "What the fuck?!" Tumayo si Austin at biglang kinwelyuhan si Enzo. 


"Tangina mo ah, sino ka ba kay Ravenna? Ay wait, ikaw yung gagong tumulong sa kanya para makatulong kala Priam. Kaya pala napatumba ang mga tao ko sa islang yun." 


"First of all you don't have the right to call me 'gago' and second of all I am her fiance." Nanlaki ang mata ko, and the word is out.


"May kwarto ba dito kung saan pwede patulugin yung bata?" Tanong ko, sige papayag ako sa inuman pero hindi yun makakaligtas ng mga buhay niyo. Kapag ako nainis at napuno I will get a knife and I will give these three 500 stabs. 


"Room to the left." 


Kinuha ko sa kamay ni Enzo si Luke at ipinasok sa kwarto. 


"Hey, you're sleepy right? You should sleep here, because after this we'll leave again and I'll fly the plane again." 


"Ate are you mad at me?" Kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya. 


"Why would I be mad at you, love?" Malambing ko sinabi, I kissed his forehead. "You know that I could never be mad at you." 


"Because you were shouting earlier." 


"Don't mind ate, she's just protecting you. Now, sleep and take a rest. I'll wake you up when we will take our leave okay. Sweet dreams, Luke." Lumapit ako sa pintuan palabas ng kwarto, pinatay ko ang ilaw habang nakatingin pa din sa kanya bago isara ng tuluyan ang pinto. 


"I don't see a ring, how are you his fiance?" Takang tanong ni Yvethe. Inirapan ko siya bago tabihan si Enzo. I kissed him on the lips before gettinga shot. I straight the shot before answering her. 


"Well I guess we don't need a ring just to tell people that I'm his and he's mine." Mayabang kong sagot, I saw her disgusted face before drinking a shot. 


"So wala pa rin bang sasagot ng tanong ko? Bakit kayong tatlo nandito?" 


"Isn't it obvious? Me and Yvethe helped Aidan set you up." Boring na sagot ni Austin. 


"You guys are total idiots, why would you even do that?" 


"By the looks of these immatures they probably did it for fun." Bulong ni Enzo na narinig nung tatlo. 


Binato ni Aidan si Enzo ng unan at natawa naman ako, "If we were not rivals we would probably be friends." 


"Yeah, I agree." Sabi nung tatlo. 


"But we did that set up to make you be more known in Japan, Ravenna. Don't you like it, you are the most famous sensation here in Japan." Singit ni Aidan. 


"No dude, you made our life miserable. We're lucky that our boss master haven't heard that news because they're so busy with their personal life." Sagot ni Enzo, I just drank a shot. I will only answer if needed. 


"Bakit kayo pumunta sa Japan?  Diba pinapahirapan mo pa yung mga kaibigan ni Vesper?" Tanong ni Enzo, wrong question! Dapat di mo na tinanong yun. Austin smirked before straighting a shot. 


"Oh so you want us to keep making their life like hell? I'm down, are you down babe?" Baling niya kay Yvethe. 


Umiling nalang ako bago sumandal kay Enzo he put his arms around my waist before pulling me closer. 


"PDA!" Sigaw ni Aidan. 


"Speaking of you, do you have any plans on letting Kaede and Hailey know that you're alive and well?" Tanong ko, umiling siya bago ako tingnan diretso sa mata. His eyes, parang may itinatagong sikreto na hindi niya gustong ipaalam sa kahiti kanino. 


I think I can read his mind, he's probably scared. Scared of the outcome that he caused. He never thinks before he makes a move. 


"Nah, they are smart. They could probably figure it out if we post this picture." Sabi niya at naglabas ng phone. Bigla niya nalang pinindot yung shutter button. 


"Why are you even gonna post that?" Tanong ni Enzo. 


"For them to know, well we're not gonna post it directly on instagram or facebook. We would post it on a more nprivate site, if they're good and smart enough they will find this picture." Sagot ni Yvethe. 


Nagring ang phone ko at nakita kong tumatawag si ate, shit! Ano problema nito? I showed my ringing phone to the person beside me at tumango naman siya. 


"Excuse us, we have an important call to answer." Sabi niya. 


Nagpunta kami sa loob ng kwartong tinutulugan ni Luke, tulog na tulog siya kaya hindi yan magigising. 


Sumakit na ang ulo ko, a sign that he's in my mind. 


[Ravenna?]


"What do you want?" Malamig na tonong tanong ko. God this is so not me. 


[By any chance you're going back sooner?]


I chuckled bitterly, [you called me just to ask that? What if I tell you that I am never coming back?]


[You can't do that,] Her voice is like about to crack. Maiiyak na siguro siya. 


"And why should I listen to you?"


"What happened to you Ravenna, this is not you. You should know that dad had a heart attack earlier. And I hope you should consider coming back kasi kapag na tigok si daddy, yung responsibilidad mo dito. Bawal mo ito bitawan. You fucking promised." 


A moment of silence, mga dalawang minuto Before I speaked again.


"I don't care." Sabi ko bago ibaba ang tawag. 


I sighed at napahawak sa ulo ko, medyo sanay na ko sa sakit ng ulo ko. 


Nagring naman ang cellphone ni Enzo at sinagot niya agad ito, kahit hindi naka speaker rinig na rinig ko ang galit sa boses niya. 


[Enzo Okazaki, get the fuck back here right now!]
