Restricted Island (Island Trilogy #2)

Isla Dise Nueve

Pagkauwi sa bahay. Paulit ulit na binasa ni Gazchela ang nakapaloob sa mapa.

"Strike Class really exsist!" Lucas hissed. Trvi is sitting on his back while he's laying on his belly. "Hindi na tayo mahihirapan nito."

"So, dito na kayo? Di na kayo aalis?" Trvi asked.

"Yep! Makakapagpahinga na ako." Luchaino automatically fall asleep.

"Damn, he hibernated!" Ani Lucas.

"Is he a plant?" Trvi asked. Natawa si Lucas at tumango.

Sinipa sipa ni Epimaco si Luch. Hindi na nga ito nagising. "Anong gagawin ko rito?"

"Just put him in his room and let him sleep. After he wakes up, mukhang ako naman ang susunod." Natawa si Lucas.

"Heads up, couple! We're here for you two!" Ani Elias. Si Jan nasa sofa lang at malalim rin ang naiisip. "Bakit nandito ka?"

"Binomba yung bahay ko." Sumimangot si Jan. "I'll stay here for a moment. It was my enemy in court."

"Masyado mo kasing pinikon." Sabi sakanya ni Josiah. Natawa lang si Jan at kumindat. Both of them wouldn't known if walang kliyente na napipikon sakanila. They're too strong that even the oldest lawyers had a hard time to deal with them.

"What's your plan?" Josiah hugged Gazchela from behind. They're in the balcony watching Trvi and his uncles playing basketball with him. Si Luch lang ang wala dahil tulog ito.

"Do what they wanted tho." Gazchela leaned her head on Josiah. "We're starting again." Natawa ito. "They granted my request immediately. Everything is now on my monitor. I don't talk shit so probably next week I'll go to that place to see."

"I'll come with you."

"Mmm." Gazchela nodded. "Jos..."

"Yes love?"

"Do you think we can continue living even though we're being chased?"

"Yeah. Maybe one day we're living in peace, where we're not worrying about our safety."

"I can't wait to have that day in my life."

"We will always be together. Wala nang may mawawala sa atin. Hindi ko na hahayaan ang bagay na iyan."

Hearing her husband's words calm her demons.

Both of them went downstairs. Josiah joined the boys while Gazchela went to the living room. She used a remote to pull down a hidden monitor from the ceiling.

The General cleared to her yesterday that he wasn't sure if the Strike Class is staying at the same place. Hindi rin naman alam ng Heneral kung ano ang ginagawa ng Strike Class, inaalala niya lang ang salita ng Lola nitong namayapa.

Gazchela checked the place. Bale sa mapa may sampong lugar na nakasulat sa gilid. On her mind, those ten places might be the place where they can find them. Sa isip niya, baka sa sampong lugar na to nagpapalit palit sila ng tirahan. They don't have any proper lead.

"Trabaho na agad?" Lucas uttered. After an hour the boys entered the living room, all of them are sweating.

"I don't want to wait for nothing." She answered as her fingertips busy typing through the board.

"Tapos na ba ang loving loving era niyo?" Tumawa si Epimaco. "Busy'ng busy kayong dalawa a."

"Natatapos ba 'yon?" Gazchela asked immediately. Josiah smiled proudly. "Inggit na inggit na ba kalbo?" The couple laughed.

Gazchela tilt her head to avoid the pillow that Epimaco throw.

"I'm not kalbo!"

"Sige nga, tanggalin mo 'yang kalbo wig mo." Tumawa si Lucas.
