Maxine Austria is Alive

MIGUEL

My physical body had suddenly quiver as I received the bad news. Sinong naglakas ng loob na magbigay ng utos upang i-assassinate ako?

I shouted in a shivery voice. “Melvin! Where's my guards? Stop whoever that shit in attempt of killing me!”

I wandered my sight to the vicinity but Melvin's figure didn't showed up. Where is he?!

Dala ng kaba at pangamba ay nagtago ako sa ilalim ng aking lamesa.

Oh, really, Miguel? Ito na ba ang the best hiding spot na mayroon ka? Mas mukha kang nakikipag-duck, cover, and hold sa posisyon mo.

Damn it! Pati ba naman utak ko kinokontra ako sa ginagawa ko!

Where do I hide? I'm old enough not to jump off from my office's window. I'm currently on the third floor of the building. Of course I can't. Even if I try to do so, there where will I meet my own death.

“Melvin!” I shouted again.

Oh, really again, Miguel? Do you want them to find you? I'm telling you, that's not the best thing you need to do under this situation!

What is happening to me? Kung ano-ano nang naririnig ko sa ulo ko!

I heard some footsteps coming from behind of the door in my office, minutes had passed and it briefly stopped.

Is that Melvin?

I wanted to shout again and confirm if it was really, Melvin, but I refrained myself, I remember what my brain said about this matter, about shouting to ask for help.

Napakainutil ng mga tauhan ko. Why they haven't responded till now? Sayang ang ibinabayad ko sa kanila.

There were noises coming from the behind of the door. Someone's knocking down the door through kicking. And it immediately stopped.

What is happening? Is it Melvin?

And another weird noise — someone had shot the knob by a gun. And I heard the creaking noise sound of the door gradually opened.

Bahagya kong inangat ang ulo ko to check who opened the door.

It's not Melvin! It was someone who wear a sexy, fitted, colored with a black and red suit. She wear a mask that only covers her upper portion of her face. Her lips is visible. And those lips seemed familiar.

“Miguel William Fernsby. The sole owner of M&A International,” wika nito nang may maririin na pagkakabigkas. “I wonder what M and A stand for? Is it Miguel and Aubrey, your wife? Or Maxine Austria's  International?” she said before her lips widened, wearing a grin smile.

Nagtagpo ang mga mata namin. Kanina pa ba siya nakatingin sa may direksiyon ko?

Her voice was also familiar. As if I have already heard it somewhere for sometime.

Tumayo na 'ko't tuluyan nang nagpakita sa kanya.

“And who the hell are you?” I asked. Pirme itong nakatitig sa'kin na tila may baon-baong malalim na pagkagalit. Itinago ko naman ang pagkatakot at nagkunwaring hindi.
