The Assassin's Heart (gxg)

Chapter 43

SUMMER

"Anak? You're leaving again? Ano ba yan? Parang napapadalas ata alis mo."

Shit.

I was about to enter my car kaso naabutan ako ni Dad.

"Oh I uhm... Mag out of town lang kami Dad."

Sabi ko.

"Out of town? Again?"

"Yes, Dad bakasyon naman eh. Gusto ko lang magrelax. "

Sabi ko praying it would work.

"Pero hindi ka na naman ganito. You're not the type who goes out all the time."

"Bakit di mo na lang kasi aminin..."

"Aminin ang alin Dad?"

Napalunok ako ng laway when he climbed down the stairs saka ako tinitigan ng diretso.

Oh no, does he know aleady?

"Na may boyfriend ka na."

Naubo naman ako saka natawa.

"Boyfriend!? What? What's even that?????"

I asked laughing.

"You know what I mean Sum, are you dating someone? Cause if you do wala namang mali. Just make sure he's got enough spirit to face me."

Seryoso ang mukha niya saka ako napangisi.

Oh he's not a He, cause she's a SHE. Kung spirit lang naman ang pag-uusapan I'm pretty sure she got more than what he expects.

It's just that, complicated pa ang lahat and I don't know how will he react kapag nalaman niyang ang taong kinikita ko ay ang taong kamuntikan nang makapatay sa kanya and it's something that I'm worried too.

Pero ipasasantabi ko muna yan, dahil kailangan ako ni Almirah.

I know a time for all of this will come.

A time where we will talk about our relationship and our future together.

"Alis na ako Dad."

I said as my mood suddenly went down. Naisip ko nanaman kasi yung possibilities na wala kaming future na dalawa.

"Okay. Mag-iingat ka."

Sabi niya then kissed me on my forehead.

Napahinga ako ng malalim habang tinitingnan ang reflection niya sa side mirror ng sasakyan ko.

After that, isang mahabang byahe nanaman ang pinagtyagaan ko upang makarating sa isla kung nasaan siya.

Gaya ng ginagawa ko dati. Ipapark ko ang kotse in random establishments at maglalakad papunta sa port kung saan nakaparada ang yate na sinasakyan namin papunta ng isla.

Nakatago ang maliit na port na yun sa likuran ng isang pabrika ng mantika and you have to go around the place and small woods to get through it.

I was about to enter the woods when suddenly I felt a sudden weird feeling, like something is wrong.

Kaya kaagad akong umalis ng trail at dumaan sa madamong bahagi.

I looked around as I bend down to see if I'm being followed pero wala naman.

Kaya nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad pero off the trails na.

Malayo na sa kung saan talaga yung daan papunta sa daungan.

Minutes later at naririnig ko na yung hampas ng alon sa dagat hanggang sa marating ko na ang dalampasigan.

Tanaw ko na sa di kalayuan ang puting yate na nakaparada but then another sudden surge of weird feeling took over me.
