The Legendary Durga

CHAPTER 2

AGNEZKA PATRIARCA POV

So this is Philippines huh, you can feel the big difference in the weather. Is it summer here? So damn hot! I feel like I'm in the middle of a desert. Now then, I wonder how this place will welcome me. It better be interesting!

As I walk side by side by this boring guy, I heard murmurs all around us.

"Hey! Look at that guy. He's so hot! Is he a celebrity?"

"Mag-jowa ata ang dalawang 'yon eh, kainggit naman si ate."

"Sonno kapporu wa kawaii."

Even though they were speaking different languages, I can understand them, thanks to my Nonno (Grandfather) who forced me, not asked, but forced me to learn all different languages when I was a snotty kid.

At least it's a little useful.

Now that I look around, there are a lot of people looking at us, mostly are women. I looked at the guy who's beside me, quiet for some quite time now. Indeed, he is undeniably handsome for a thug, the kind of face you wouldn't see every day and his face and built is just my type of guy.

If I was another woman, I would've jumped him by now.

And there he is people, wearing the same damn poker face again.

I think we exchanged for about five or four words to each other the entire flight and I'm saying that was the span of sixteen hours. The guy didn't talk that much, he was just doing his thing without even bothering to look at me. He would only talk if I ask him or if he needed something from the flight attendant. Hell! I felt like I was invisible the entire time. Does he hate me for some unknown reason? I don't remember pulling a prank on him, or maybe I did. I don't know nor does it matter.

I was just, not used to this quietness.

People kept on whispering about this tall-handsome-sexy guy beside me. Is it their first time seeing a good looking guy? They're exaggerating. Good looking guys aren't extinct you know, you can see them on television and Facebook.

SEBASTIAN CROSS POV

The flight was really tiring, my whole body was stiff and I felt like a caged bird the entire time. I did my best not to make as much eye-contact with Agnezka, though I know that was rude, I think it didn't bother her at all. There were times that I could feel her staring at me but I still pretended not to know.

Or maybe I was just imagining things.

As we walk through the airport people were looking at us, some are even taking pictures. This is bad, we might get discovered. We have to go now, but why are they looking at us? Do we look like wanted criminals? And why are they taking a picture?

Then I heard some whispers.

"Maganda 'yung chiks pare." Bulong ng isa sa mga lalaki sa malayo.

"Oo nga eh hot na hot, parang 'yung weather." Sagot naman ng kasama nito.

Oh! I see, so it was that.

I looked at the said beautiful woman, she's indeed beautiful. No doubt men would turn their heads the moment they see her.

Tch! We really have to go now. Why the hell does she have to be beautiful? Getting attention even though it's not needed. It's not even the start of school yet and now attention is all over us. This is going to be troublesome. Really, boss, how could you do this to me? This is not a vacation at all.

This is babysitting!

"Let's go." When I saw a cab, I grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. I immediately felt her struggling from my grip. She's strong, hella strong.

"You bitch! Do you have a death wish, you fucking dare to grab me?!" She threatened, her eyes furious, I could see a visible vein pop from anger. She's really good at swearing, so it comes naturally from her mouth huh.

I looked at her nonchalantly, I couldn't help but look at her eyes, but I immediately looked away, then I sighed. Can't she comprehend that we need to be far away from the cameras and attention? Did she forget her purpose?

"We really need to go." I stated firmly.

"Three seconds, if you don't remove that filthy hand from me, I'll bury you alive. You piece of shit!"

"People are staring at us, there are even others that are taking pictures. Do you want to blow our cover that fast? We just arrived and you want to be discovered already." Her eyes blinked as if she just remembered something. She flicked her fingers, meaning my thoughts were right.

"You should have just told me asshole." She muttered in a low voice and harshly swung her arms out from my grasp. "Didn't need to grab me like a damn luggage. Do that again and you're dead."

She sulked, just like a kid would. It's funny to see that the Legendary Durgatinashini is sulking because I grabbed her. The woman who everyone in the mafia world fears from her unearthly powers, is sulking right in front of me. I want to laugh, but unfortunately, I would get beaten up if I did.
