Mark is laughing really hard. I even punch him in his chest. He told me it's not a mission but a birthday party. Fuck him. Nilabas ko pa naman ang baril ko kasi akala ko mapapalaban kami.
"I thought it's a big mission sa isang drug lord Mark. Damn you!"- I hissed.
"What drug lord are you talking about SPO1 Whitlock?"- Damn that voice. I look around and there I saw him. Police Commissioner Kaiden Zachary, my greatest crush in this field. We salute him and I said sorry for my wrong hypothesis awhile ago. He just smile at me and contains his laugh. Shocks! That was so embarrassing.
He invited us inside the house and we're now sitting in a long table. It's his mother's birthday. My team prepared a gift for her, I didn't even know it.
"And now, we will be having here on stage the grandson of our birthday celebrant to give his message. He is a doctor, a public servant, a billionaire, and an owner of a well known hospital in the whole world. Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the very handsome Doctor Zygmunt Zachary."- Everyone clap their hands and I can even hear some whispers from the visitors. Majority mga babae na para bang may mga bulate sa pwet kung kiligin. Umakyat na ang isang lalaki. He's really formal with his black tuxedo. Every part of him screams richness. His hair is neatly comb, and even I'm far away with him, I can see how his black pair of shoes shines. Napaka-confident ng pagkakatayo niya.
"Thank you so much Jenny. When I was young, I was crying because of disappointments and failures, I don't have the courage to fight for my life. But granny was there. She told me that I should find a way, an inspiration because I will need it if I want a brighter future, we need it to make our dreams come true and we need it to simply feel special." His eyes darted at me. May nakikita akong ibang emosyon sa mata niya. Pinagpatuloy niya ang message niya ng hindi inaalis ang paningin sa akin. Kinakabahan tuloy ako, namamawis na din ang palad ko.
"For one day, we can have the chance to be their beacon of light, their silver lining in the clouds. For you grandma, I wish you all the best in life. I want to be your comfort just like how you did to me when I was young. I want to be your doctor when you're sick, but please stay healthy. Know that I love you so much and I will always give back every little thing you gave to me. Happy birthday granny.. I saw how he hug his granny and kiss her cheeks. Everyone claps at sunod na tinawag and daddy niya, anak pala siya ni ng chief of police namin.
Bumaba si Zachary sa stage at hindi ko na nakita kung saan siya pumunta. Nakikinig lang ako sa nagbibigay ng speech sa harap. Pero di ko maiwasang isipin kung bakit hindi nag-pulis si Zachary samantalang pulis naman ang tatay niya. Gusto niya ba talaga ang medisina?
"Can I seat here?"- Para akong nanigas sa kinauupuan ko. Yan ang boses ng taong iniisip ko. Tumingin ako sa kaliwa ko and there I saw his eyes again, para niya akong nilulunod sa mga tingin niya.
"Would you mind it if I seat here?"- He smiled.
