The Support

Chapter Fourteen

Jaypee groaned and took a step back from the impact when she kicked his chest, he looked up and saw an angry Hestia.

"Miss Hestia--"

Naputol naman ang sasabihin nito nang salagin niya ang suntok na mula sa dalaga, ilang beses naulit iyon but Jaypee didn't fought back. He is just shielding himself from her attacks.

Then something clicked into the back of his mind.

Hestia was the one who he fought back in Don's office.

"Miss Hestia." Pagtawag naman niya sa dalaga.

"No! shut up! Shut up!" She screamed and did a roundhouse kick and again, Jaypee managed to shield himself.

Where did she learn to fight like that? Jaypee asked in his mind as he stare at the heaving figure of Hestia in front of him.

"Why..."

"Miss Hestia--"

"Why do I feel like this?" She asked and looked at him. "Why do I feel hurt after I learned who you really are?" She added.

"It's because you trusted me and here I am, breaking it." Jaypee answered patiently. "I can assure you, Miss Hestia, I won't harm you in any shape or form." He assured her.

"H-how can I trust your word?" She asked quietly.

Wala namang salitang kinuha ng binata ang handgun nito na nasa likurang bahagi ng pantalon niya and he gave it to Hestia after he put down the safety of it.

"My life is in your hands, you can kill me right here right now if you think that you don't trust me." Jaypee answered.

"You want me to kill you?"

"If you think that you don't trust me."

Humigpit naman ang pagkakahawak ni Hestia sa baril na ibinigay sa kanya ni Jaypee while still thinking if he can be trusted.

"If ever things go downhill, I just want to say that I am glad that I met you...Hestia." Jonathan said at para namang tinakasan ng hangin ang dalaga nang marinig ito mula sa kanya.

But she still can't understand why.

Is it something about her lost memories? That's why she's feeling this way?

She points the gun at him, she's expecting fear on his face pero wala itong reaksyon, na para bang sanay na sanay na ito sa mga gantong sitwasyon.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked.

"I am sure." He answered.

"Then close your eyes...hindi mo gugustuhin na ako ang huli mong makita bago ka mamatay." She instructed and that made Jonathan smile a little.

"I beg to differ." Jonathan said at nanatiling nakatingin sa dalaga.

"Close your eyes." Hestia repeated.

Jonathan sighed at ilang segundong tinitigan ang dalaga para kabisaduhin ang detalye ng mukha nito bago tuluyang pumikit at hinintay ang pagtama ng bala mula sa baril na hawak niya.

He knows how painful it is since Lyka and the other inventors back in the HQ experimented on the bullet of that gun, and he is sure that if Hestia will use it, she will point it at his heart.

Where it is fatal.

Minutes later, he didn't felt a bullet shot in his body nor he didn't hear a gunshot.
