GANGSTER ROYALTIES: The Gangster Society

CHAPTER 37. STICK WITH YOU

CHAPTER 37. Stick with you

KHALI‘S POV

“Kanina ka pa? Pasensiya na, ang hirap sumakay sa ganitong oras.” tila nahihiyang wika ni Brent sabay kamot sa batok.

“It‘s fine.” sagot ko na lamang at uminom sa frappe ko.

Hindi ko naman actually namalayan. Kumakain ako eh. Buti nalang binaon ko ‘yung cookies na bigay ni Kangkong.

“Tara na?” tanong niya. Tumayo na ako at umalis na kami.

Saan nga ulit kami pupunta? Parang ako na yata ang tinu-tour ni Brent, wala na naman akong kwenta dito.

I don‘t really mind being his company. Tutal sabi niya gusto niya lang ng kasama. Ang mahalaga mabayaran ko na agad siya. Hindi talaga nagpaparamdam si Kangaroo pag Linggo.

Pero sabi niya kagabi may aasikasuhin ulit siya kaya magiging busy siya this day. But I‘m pretty sure he‘s also sulky about me hanging out with Brent during Sundays. Kasi nag-aaya lumabas, para lang di ako makapunta sa lakad ko. Hingi na kaya ako ng pambayad kay Aniki para matapos na?

Wait. Why would I even do that for that King? He even lied to me last night...

Psh.

Bakit ba kasi niya hinahanap si Shadow?He keeps telling me not to get involve in gangster activities, then he‘ll swiftly change the subject. He‘s so annoying.

I‘ve been thinking about the possible reason why Kangaroo is looking for Shadow. And I‘m pretty confused.

First, like what Kangaroo told me before, gusto niyang makuha ang buong Tenebrés kay Shadow.

Sigurado naman ako na hindi niya ako mahahanap. If he‘s gathering informations about me from the past, I‘m confident that he won‘t be able to find me. I‘ve been very careful. So, there‘s nothing to be worried about. Besides, it was Izu who covered me up. No one will find me.

Unless I show up myself...

And if Nami speak with him. But... I‘m pretty sure she won‘t. Kung may hunch talaga si Nami na ako si Shadow, that‘s because she is sharp. She was always been like that.

I could just eliminate her if she tries to betray me...

Anyway, wala naman sigurong grudge si Kangaroo kay Shadow, wala naman akong maalala na na-meet ko siya noong active pa ako. With that unique vibes he has, it‘s really impossible to forget about him. I‘ve really never met him as Shadow.

Gusto niyang makuha ang buong Tenebrés? ‘Yun lang ba talaga?

The more I think about it, the more I get confused. If he wants Tenebrés, I can give it to him. Hindi nga lang personally, but I can give it to him with my members’ help. Hindi na kasi talaga ako pwedeng lumabas as Shadow, dahil kapag nalaman ni Izu, hinding-hindi na talaga ako makakabalik dito sa Pilipinas. ‘Yun nga lang, hindi naman kasi ako sure kung Tenebrés lang ang goal niya, I‘m pretty sure there‘s more. At dahil diyan, mas lalong hindi ko pwedeng i-reveal nang basta-basta nalang na ako si Shadow.

Kasi noong gabing iyon, he was really willing to quit the Gangster Society for me, pero ngayon hindi man lang niya magawa ‘yung request ko.
