Wrath Of Azura

11

Raizel was laying on the ground covered with his blood while Luminas kept on punching him with no mercy. No one dares to step into the fight, afraid that they will anger Luminas more.

"When I arrived. I saw Luminas talking to Raizel. I don't know what they were talking about, bigla na lang sinipa ni Lumina- AZURA!" Her sentence was cut off nang makita ako lumalakad patungo sa gitna.

I grabbed Luminas's collar and pull him away from Raizel. Everyone was stunned at what I did. Tumingin ako kay Luminas na nakaupo sa lapag, tumayo ito at tumingin saakin.

I spread my arms, protecting Raizel behind me. "Stay behind me..." I whispered.

"Alam ba niya ang manyayari? Once na she stepped in to Luminas's business."

"Masususpend ang AODO nito."

"Boyfriend ba ni Azura 'yan?"

Naririnig ko ang mga bulong nila and I chose to ignore it. Fuck them.

Mas lalo ko nararamdaman ang galit ni Luminas and he was clenching his fists.

But what is this terrifying aura? Nakakatakot... ramdam ko ang pagnginig ng mga katawan ko. I looked up to Luminas at nakita ang mask niya ay nasa gilid na at makikita ang labi nito na may dugo dahil sa pag kagat-kagat nito ng labi.

"Azura, I know, you know, everyone knows... you're my favorite person here." He grabbed my chin. Kahit hindi ko kita ang mga mata niya... alam ko, galit na galit siya, "but sometimes... you have to mind your own business and just watch."

Ngumisi ako and held my middle finger up to his face. "Fuck you, asshole. Since when did you become so important? That I have to follow your shit." I slapped his hand away and helped Raizel to stand up.

I put his arm around my shoulder and my arm is around his waist. We walked away, marami ang mga nakatingin saamin, and my members moved to make way for us. Mukhang maraming tanong ang mangyayari kinabukasan.

Nang makalayo na kami sa warehouse pinaupo ko si Raizel sa lapag at dahil masyado itong mabigat. Kinuha ko kaagad ang panyo ko at binuhusan ito ng tubig, pinahid ko ito sa mga may sugat nito sa mukha.

"Dalhin kaya kita sa hospital?" tumayo ako para mag hanap ng malapit na hospital but he holds my wrist stopping me. "Malala 'yang sugat mo! Kailangan mo talaga mag pagamot." I asked worriedly.

"If we go to the hospital for sure may mga pulis na sasama para imbestigahan ang nangyari. Madadamay ka pa." he said while leaning on the wall.

"Di 'yan! Maraming connection 'yan si Luminas. Hinding-hindi tayo iimbestigahan, kaya mag pa hospital ka na." pilit ko siya sinasabi sa kaniya dahil grabe din ang mga sugat nito.

"Wag na, Azura... just sit here beside me." He commanded.

I just sat down beside him and looked at him. Ang gwapo niya parin kahit bugbog sarado.

"I'm sorry..." I bow my head at ramdam ko ang mga luha ko napalabas na. Puta, ba't ako napapaiyak?

He chuckled and pat my head. "I won't question your identity and relationship with those gangs. I know, hindi ka tulad sa kanila. Judging by the fact that happened there, you chose to protect me." He smiled.

I still felt guilty about it. "Ano nangyari? Ba't andon ka? At pinag bubugbog ka ni Luminas doon?" I asked.

"Nung tinawag ka ng kaibigan mo, umalis na din ako. And someone put something on my nose, maybe that's why, kung bakit ako na walan ng malay. When I woke up, I was already inside the warehouse and many people surround us." He explained. "I don't know why, but that guy said something about... mess with her, you mess with me..." tumingin sa'kin si Raizel, "baka 'yung nangyari sa festival. 'Yung na ghosted kita doon."

"No, I never told Luminas about it nor my members. No one knows about you being my model, only Aerum and Lucas know." This is getting suspicious. Ba't alam ni Luminas non? Is he spying on me? No, alam ko na kaagad kung sino mag-eespiya sa'kin pag ganun. Is it Shiloh?

"Si Shiloh... Ano-ano lagi ginagawa niya?" I asked. Ang pagkakaalam ko mag-pinsan silang dalawa.

Ngumisi siya. "I don't know about that bastard, all I know is he's always at his work and being dumb." He said sarcastically.

"May galit ka ba kay Shiloh?" I asked kasi mukhang matindi ang galit nito kay Shiloh eh.

"Yes, just his mere existence annoys me." He said irritated.

"I see."

"Avoid him, Azura, and that Luminas guy... there's something about them that makes me feel weird," Raizel said and put his hand on his chin. "Like they are one person."

"I don't think so." Disagreeing with his thoughts. "Luminas has scars all over his body at may mga tottoo 'yon while Shiloh does not."

"Pano mo nalaman? Nakita mo?" He asked suspiciously.

"H-Hoy, h-hindi naman, p-pero parang ganun na nga." Utal-utal ko'ng sinabi sa kaniya. Fuck, ba't nagmumukha ito na I got caught cheating on him.

"It's none of my business anyway." He shrugged off his shoulders and stood up. "Kung 'yan ang sinabi mo. Let's not suspect them in the meantime."

"Mag-pahinga ka muna hoy!"

"Shit, wala nga pala bag ko." He frustratedly said and sighed.

"Sabay ka na lang sa'min umuwi!" I exclaimed excitedly. I felt a water drop on my nose. Tumingala ako at umuulan. "Yay!"

"It's just rain, no need to be excited dahil ang sunod niyan ay lagnat." He said sarcastically.

"Masaya kaya maligo sa ulan!" Pag-dedepensa ko. Kinuha ko ang kamay niya at tumakbo kami kung saan naka park ang mga motor namin.

Tawa kami ng tawa dahil nakakatapak kami ng mga may maraming tubig na tumatalsik kaya mas lalo kami nababasa.

"Ano ba 'yan mga mukha kayong basa na aso!" Lucas scolded us when we arrive kung saan naka parking ang mga motor.

"Sa'kin sasakay si Raizel." I volunteer.

"No! dahil 'di natin alam kung saan-saan mo siya dadalhin!"Lucas immediately rejected the idea.

"It's fine. Azura is the only person I trust here." Raizel said bluntly.

Lucas rolled his eyes at umangkas na si Raizel sa'kin.

"Walang helmet?" Raizel asked.

"Amboring pag may helmet!" I said at binuksan na ang makina.

"Mas lalong boring pag dinala ka sa prisinto dahil wala kang helmet!" he said in disbelief.

"Pag kasama kita. Hindi boring." I winked and drove off in a fast pace. Habang ang mga kamay nito ay nasa bewang ko.

I looked at my side mirror at nakita ang mga tainga nito ay namumula. I chuckled and smiled. Cute...

Mike's POV

I stopped the car as Luminas ordered me too. Tumingin ako sa bintana at nakita ang AODO gang members ay kumakarera na at rinig ang mga hiyawan nila habang nagmamaneho.

I looked at the rearview mirror at nakatingin din si Luminas sa bintana.

"That bastard..." Rinig ko ang nanlalamig na boses ni Luminas. Tumingin ako ulit sa bintana at nakita ang lalake na 'yon at si Azura ay naka sakay sa iisang motor. Ang lalake ay nakaangkas, hawak-hawak ang baywang ni Azura.

Napakunot ang ulo ko nang makita si Luminas na tinanggal ang maskara niya. Kitang-kita sa mga nito na gusto makapatay. Habang nakakuyom ang kaniyang kamay.

"Ikalma mo ang sarili mo, Luminas... it's not the time yet." I said calmly. He somewhat calms down at ang mukha nito ay nabalot naman sa kalungkutan.

I know you're angry... but we cannot act rashly or else... our hardwork will not pay off..
