Their Wild Obsession (Completed)

Epilogue

Alken's POV

A week had passed after that incident. Napoleon died on the spot while the rest suffered from a severe effect of the explosion. Ang inakala naming solusyon sa lahat ay isa palang bomba na nakabalot sa supot. Tangina lang, nasayang ang oras namin roon at ngayon ay mas mahihirapan pa kaming gumalaw dahil sa epekto ng pagsabog. Though it was a kind of miracle to wake up this early, and I am thankful we still have time to fix this mess. 

I tried picking my phone resting at the side table. Sawyer, who's been playing on his phone groaned in annoyance. 

"Toscano, just tell me if you wanna die and I would gladly do that to you." He tried to stopped me but I didn't let him. "Do you want me to show how many broken bones you have?"

He only got mild wounds kaya ito narito ngayon nagbabantay sa akin. Siguro kaya hindi ito masyadong naapektuhan ay dahil noong mga oras na yun mayroong tumawag na kinailangan niya pang lumayo upang sagutin iyon.

I cursed when I felt an excruciating pain on my back. Damn it. Pakiramdam ko na dislocate ang mga buto ko sa likod.

"I just want to make a call." I answered.

He tsked. "Call and then what? You'll continue finding till you die?"

Nagtagis ang aking bagang. "You don't understand, Sawyer. Every fucking second is very important."

He stopped for a second and then sighed. "Do whatever you want then."

I dialed a familiar number I called two weeks ago. Two rings before the other line answered.

"Did you find it?" Bungad nito. 

Pinigil kong hindi magmura nang pilitin kong mag-iba ng posisyon. 

"Not yet, b-but we'll try again." I answered, almost choking. "I called to let you know that we'll visit one of these days."

Sandali itong natahimik. 

"I went there." He revealed. "He told me his reasons and.. it was all my fault."

Natahimik kaming pareho. This is not the right time to blame each other because we're almost running out of time.

"I have no right to be mad at you because in the first place I am the one to blame." kapagkuwan ay narinig ko ang muli nitong pag buntong hininga. "I'll trust you on this, please.. s-save my daughter."

I nodded, determined. "We will."

"Send me the exact time of your visit and I'll tell my agents about it." 

I nodded before the call ended. 

I took an exhausted breath. I could still remember the very first time I met him alone to ask for help. He's very intimidating, but I felt relaxed whenever I see his amber eyes that look just like hers. 

"What makes you meet me, Mr. Toscano?" He spoke when we finally sat down. 

We are inside a famous restaurant in Bernese. I just thought of travelling all the way here to talk to him personally. Even if we're not really close ever since, I still respect him as the father of my woman. He deserves to know the truth and I also want to ask for his help since he lived here with Maria. 

"I want to ask a favor, Mr. Dela Paz."

He sipped from his tea, still observing. 

"It's so rare for someone as powerful as you to ask favor from me." 

I swallowed hard. He really is intimidating. It feels nostalgia with the way his amber eyes looked at me. Eyes like those I wished to be seen one more time.
