Behind Every Lie [Completed]

TRUTH 25

AIDAN FORMENTERA

"Of course this fucker is alive..." tangang sabi ni Adonis habang hinahawakan pa ang likuran ko.

Pasimpleng umiling ang aming pinsan. "You're not getting it... aren't you?"

Ngunit, nang matahimik na kaming lahat at halos magkatitigan ay doon lamang unti-unting umusbong ang mga impormasyon na pilit namin itinatabi.

"Holy shit..." Napatingin si Adjer sa puwesto na inilibing ang isa naming kapatid.

"A-Anthony... is alive?" Mahinang tanong ni Amara nina Damond na abala lang sa pagtitingin sa sahig.

"What the hell, assholes? My face looks better than the dirty ground so eyes up!"

Napatitig silang lahat kay Allaniah dahil sa biglaan niyang pagsinghal. But my eyes remained looking at the damn pictures.

Fuck.

"He pulled a stunt again," galit na sabi ni Andrias. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

I knew it. That fucker pulled this stunt because he knows that I'm looking for him.

I scoffed. So, he left Aurelia?

"You awfully dress the same, dude..." komento ni Adonis habang umiiling pa.

Damn, he left Aurelia!

"May mga tauhan kami sa labas ng bansa na nagsumbong tungkol kay Anthony." Damond sighed and walked towards the table.

Unti-unti niyang nakuha ang atensyon ko. But Aurelia still lingered in my mind.

Does that mean that I can have her?

"He was seen in different places for the past few weeks. Obviously, he's been traveling but I don't know where he's getting the money."

Natigilan si Damond at napatingin sa akin. "You know where he gets his cash?"

Napalunok ako at napayuko. When they noticed my silence, Dalziel sighed.

"Stop treating yourself so hard, Aidan..."

Umiling ako. "I let him go again... even if it was my job to catch him."

Unti-unting bumisita sa aking memorya ang mga pagkakataon na puwede ko sana siyang kunin o kaya patayin sa probinsya. Pero sa 'di malamang dahilan ay hindi ko ito magawa.

It's probably because of conscience. It could also be because he's my brother. Pero puwede rin maging dahilan si Aurelia... ang mahal niyang babae.

Fuck. Si Aurelia... ang mahal ko ring babae...

I scoffed and closed my eyes. "I didn't want to hurt her... that's why I couldn't kill him..."

Dahil sa kumukulong galit ay napailing ako.
