Zech Chartreuse

03

Unti-unti ko pinaglakbay ang aking mata sa aking paligid. Naninibago ako sa kapayapaan na hatid nito. The whole ocean is screaming for peace and brotherhood.

"What happened to you?" he asked with gentle in his face. Ang makapal niyang kilay ay magkasalubong at tila ba malaki ang galit sa mundo.

Maharan kong pinikit ang aking mata, at unti-unti ko naalala ang lahat.

"H-He betrayed me...," nanghihina kong sabi.

Sa dinami-dami na nangyari sa buhay ko hindi ko alam ma darating pa pala ang araw na nanghihina ako o masasaktan pa. I killed a lot of people, from innocent to monstrous.

Tumango siya sa akin. "You know what is the painful betrayal? A betrayal come from the people we trusted and love," he said without any emotion.

I trusted him. Takot ako buksan ang sarili ko sa tao dahil alam ko mawawasak lang ako, pero iba sila. I treated them like a family yet they still betrayed me. Hanggang kailan ko mararamdam ang pagtataksil ng mundo? Hindi ba ito nagsasawa sa pagwasak sa akin?

"I need to have a background check on you, before I let you stay in our island," he left the room.

Nilibot ko muli ang aking paningin sa loob ng kwarto kung nasaan ako. Puno ng medical equipment ang buong kwarto ay ngayon ko lang napansin na may mga nakakabit sa aking katawan. Tinanggal ko ito ay nang tumayo ako ay doon ko naramdaman ang sakit at nakita ko mga mga pasa at galos sa aking katawan na sanhi ng pagkahulog ko.

How can people betray those who trusted them so much? The scar and trauma can't erase easily. Hindi ito madadala sa simpleng patawad. It takes time to regain yourself again and heal the agony.

"So, you're the man our founder referring," someone entered the room and I saw the badass man looked at me.

"Who are you?" I asked him. I ready myself in any attack but he just smirked at me.

"They are doing research to your life if you deserve to stay here or we will kick you," sabi niya na hindi ko naiintindihan ang kanyang mga pinagsasabi. Prente siyang umupo sa sahig ng clinic na kung nasaan ako.

"I heard your're working under mafia family. Why  don't you stay here for a while and escaped from betrayal you got. We may be criminal in other people's perspective but we are also innocent in our pov. The world is just fucked. If you need a family to lean on, our brotherhood is open since one of our founder want you to stay," he said, showing his gentle face.

Kahit hindi ko lubos na maintindihan ang kanyang pinagsasabi ay hinayaan ko lang siya. Maya-maya pa ay may narinig kaming kakaibang ingay mula sa labas. 

"The fun is starting," he uttered.

"Fun?" I asked full of curiosity. He just smirked and grabbed my hand.

Tang'na, ramdam ko ang sakit ng buo kong katawan. 

"F*ck, can you calm down!" I hissed.

Pero ang gago ay tulay lang sa pagtakbo pababa ng clinic habang hawak-hawak ang braso ko. "The orgy is starting. You need to met the founders,"

Nang makababa kami sa ground floor ay agad kami napahinto. Bumungad sa akin ang ganda ng buong isla at ang sariwang hangin dito. May naglalakihan na building din napaligid dito, mula sa hotel, restaurant, bars, at iba pa. 

"Nasaan ako?"I asked while mesmerizing the beauty of the island.

"You are in the private island that built by the founder and its members with perspective goals. Ruthless gentlemen that bound by revenge and pleasure who have one goal. I would like to ask you, Zech, do you want to be a part of the brotherhood?" Kane asked.
