"Boss, nahanap na namin siya."

"Where is she?" Agad na tanong ko.

Agad kumunot ang noo ko ng makarinig ako ng putok ng baril mula sa kabilang linya.

"Shit, mukhang natamaan yung babaeng may highlight ang buhok!"

Halos nanlamig ang buong katwan ko dahil sa narinig mula sa kabilang linya. Liliana had a hair highlight...

Dahil sa pagkataranta ay agad akong lumabas ng mansion at inutusan ang lahat ng natitirang guard para bantayan si Celestina. It still night time probably at dawn. Alas dos na simula ng takasan niya ako.

I understand that it was a gangfight but I can't help but to worry.

"Boss, sa malaya Street malapit sa may sementeryo."

Agad kong binaba ang telephone at pinaharurut ang kotse ko papunta sa location na sinabi sa akin ng mga tauhan ko.

Malaya Street... its a street own by the underground society. Malaya silang gawin ang lahat doon kaya natatakot ako na may mangyaring masama sa kanya.

Not this time when she already enter my life. She already involve her life to me so there's no backing out.

Agad akong bumaba ng kotse at dumeretsyo sa loob ng isang abandoning bodega.

LILIANA

I really thought Esto will be shot at that time. Akala ko hindi sila ganto karami. We came unarmed. Samantalang sila ay may kany kanyang mga armas.

"Shaya! Hey, ayus ka lang?" Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang balikat ko kaya naman unti unti akong tumayo at ininda ang tama ng baril sa tagiliran ko.

I smirked when I remembered that it's the same place where Syto shot me.

I was wondering when Adue suddenly entered my mind his reaction will be priceless again if he saw me bleeding again. OA pa naman iyon.

That itallian Mafia is somehow a softy beast. Sa panglabas na anyo niya ay isang marahas na Halimaw. Pero kabaliktaran lang iyon ng pagkatao niya. He was softy. Totoo na may ikli ang pasensya niya pero mapagpasensya naman siya. Lalo na sa kapatid niya. He also told me that he raised his sister alone. Siya ang nagpalaki kay Celestina sa murang edad.

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin nakikita ang sinasabi nilang merciles, ruthless, at cold-hearted itallian Mafia.

He was intimidating but I can say hea was a good person.

But tonight is different. Iba ngayon.
When this abandoned warehouse opened and it revealed him looking at us angrily. Kung nakamamatay lang ang tingin ay nakabulagta na ang lahat ngayon.

He didn't spoke his face remain blank. Na kahit ako ay hindi ko mabasa. Adue...

And on that everyone left dumbfounded when our enemies for tonight was already bathing on their own blood.

He wasn't wearing a mask. He don't even use his black hair instead he was here on his bare face. Kaya lahat ay nagulat lahat ay nakanganagng nakatingin sa kanya.

With blood flowing on his hands and a suit that tainted by blood after cutting the troath of the gang leader of our enemy he faced as. With his blood shot pale black eyes his gazed find me and that's when we made eye contact. I never thought that this night will come. Where I will face the infamous itallian Mafia who was known because of its merciless, blood lust, ruthlessness.

He's infront of us.

I watch him how he throw the head of one of the members of the gang we are against tonight.

I wasn't scared. I was not scared on him. Nagulat lang ako. The person onfront of us is really different from the Adue I met.

Naramdaman ko ang pag-atras ng mga kasamahan ko na maging si Esto na inaalayan ako ay napahigpit ang hawak sa akin habang namginginig ang katawan.

Adue went straight on me while his eyes remain cold and his face was emotionless.

"Uuwi na tayo." Matigas na Saad niya habang masama ang tingin kay Esto.

Esto did back off as Adue hold me and carry me into a bridal style.

I cam sense how my gangmates looking at us from our backs. I know I can sense how curious they are but they are too intimidate too spoke up.

"Adue..." I called out. I didn't hear any respond but I heard how he started the car engine.

My vision is turning into a cloudy one. Bumibigat na rin ang tabular ng mga mata ko.

"Shit," rinig kong mura niya. At binilisan pa ang pagmamaneho.

"Mas mamamatay pa ata tayo sa pagmamaneho mo Adue..." nanghihinang sabi ko sa kanya.

"Just stop talking, Liliana. You're making me insane! Sinaabi ko sayo hindi ko patatahimikin ang akluluwa mo pag namatay ka." May bahid ng Inis na sabi niya habang mas pinapaharurut pa ang sasakyan niya.

"Chill, Adue! Mababaw lang 'to! Hindi pa ako mamamatay!" Tumatawang sabi ko sa kanya.

I thought he will take my joke but I was wrong. Mas binilisan niya pa ang pagmamaneho at naramdaman ko na lang na huminto na ang kotse. He didn't even bothered going out on the driver seat door. Tinanggal niya ang seatbealt ko at agad binuhat at sa pintuan kami ng passenger seat bumaba.

He didn't even bothered closing his door and fuckin run in distance at naramdaman kong may sumalubong sa akin.

I'm too tired to open my eyes so I remained it shut pero naririnig ko pa rin ang mga nasa paligid ko.

"Is she dead?" Boses iyon ng lalaki.
Narinig ko ang pag 'tsk." Ni Adue bago ito barahin ang sinabi ng kung sino.

"Shut up, Limuel! Just fucking ready the aid."

Naramdaman ko ang malambot na bagay sa likod ko naramdama ko rin ang malamig na simoy na tumama sa may tyan ko ng itaas kaunti ni Adue ang suot kong damit.

"It's in the same spot again. Are you kidding me Liliana?"

I didn't give him any response and instead i let myself to be drown into darkness.

I even heard him calling my name many times but I didn't bother answering him.

I want to rest... let me rest...
