S|He is the Lost Beauty (Transgender Series)

Beauty 7

Sumunod ako sa tatlong agents na halos hindi matahimik kanina pa habang paakyat kami ng building.  Nagtutulakan si Crow at si Starling na para bang ayaw nilang manguna sa paglalakad. Samantalang si Raven naman ay tahimik na nagmamasid at nakaismid na nakatingin sa harap.

Hindi lang ito kalayuan sa kin kaya kitang-kita ko ang suplado nitong mga tingin sa kasamahan. Hindi ko pa din alam ang pangalan nila sa ngayon kaya tatawagin ko nalang sila sa kanilang code names.

Pansin kong typical interior ang meron sila. They have this Light French gray with a slight touch of Crushed Ice color. Pinapalibutan din ang bawat sulok ng window glassess kaya kitang-kita ang nasa labas.  And I would commend the interior designer for formulating this kind of ideas, minimalist yet sophisticated. The theme really fits the Security Agency that my Lolo owned.

Nakailang liko pa kami hanggang sa tumigil ang dalawang agent sa harapan ng isang pinto.  Maybe ito na ang office ng napaka aroganteng lalaking yon. The pride and vain really showing from his demeanor.

Bumalik na naman sa kakatulukan ang dalawa at may iilang beses pang tumitingin sa gawi ni Raven subalit lumalagpas din ito sa kin kaya pansin kong lumulunok pa sila ng laway nila. Can't they stop? bakit parang big of deal talaga sa kanilang pumasok or kung sino ang maunang pumasok sa Office niya?

"What is it to be scared of?" I asked blatantly. 

I dismissed the idea of waiting for them to open the door. Kanina pa sila nagtuturuan the moment that guy shifted from strict superior to Hitler mode. Samantalang di naman nagbalak na awatin o patigilin ni Raven ang dalawa, sadyang he's just there, just being him, I guess?

I walked confidently and passed them, which made them move aside at binigay sa kin ang buong espasyo para buksan ang pinto. Hindi ko naman siguro kailangan pang kumatok, right? besides Lolo would pass this Agency to me naman, so why bother.

Marahas kong binuksan ang siradura at nakairap na pumasok sa loob, pero di pa ako tuluyang nakakapasok ay isang napakalakas na hiyaw ang aking natanggap.A loud one.

"Don't you know how to knock?" he roared from the other side. What the hell! Is this necessary? Ganito ba siya sa mga ka agents niya? He seems, scary I guess? Veins protruding from his temple and eyebrows creasing towards each other, the unusual view na nakikita ko sa kanya palagi. Dahil he's always calm, quiet, and lethal at the same time. But it's different this time.

This is new!Kaya ba ganito nalang mag react ang dalawang to, dahilan sa ganito ang pinapakita niya?

I honestly think that he's scary and I admit that I was taken a back. Pero masyado na talaga akong naabalidbaran sa lalaking to! The whole idea of guarding me, him coming to city and leaving his provincial life, and just him-his mere existence really annoys me.

I clear my throat and looked at him irritably. Maybe that bomb incident earlier really taught me well, that nothing else in this world can be scary even this guy furiously marching towards my direction.

Kaya bago pa ako mawala sa composure ay pinadikit ko na ang dalawa kong braso. A typical brat moves, or should I say a defensive mechanism of the prey to prevent the predator to be eaten alive.

Tss.

Hindi ako defensive. I just have to play my cards against this guy na hindi ko alam kung ano ang pakay sa pamilya ko. He's been there with Lolo, maybe Lolo knows him well, but I don't. I dont know his background kaya who knows kung ano ang tinatago niya. But one things for sure, I would reveal that identity of him and let my family get aware of it in no time.

"Hindi ka ba naturuan paano kumatok?" he said without even looking at me. I just did the same. Hindi ako nagbalak sagutin ang tanong niya. Mukhang alam naman niya yun kaya I saw how he  gritted his jaw. The gnashing was very evident and that's a success for me.
