Hidden Mistake

CHAPTER 14

The past few days have been hell.

Consecutive missions, incidents and trainings. Every day was hell for us. We couldn't even eat on time. Hindi na rin kami gaanong kumakain ng sabay nina Ace.

I rarely visits the mansion and my condo. Sobrang babad namin sa trabaho na hindi na namin halos alam ang salitang pahinga.

Team Bs' investigation is also done. Walang naman nakitang kahina-hinala sa kanila. Which I'm not so sure of. They can now work and go on missions.

I spent my days training ang staying in my room to rest. I didn't waste any time. I need to have time for myself.

"Nyx, kumain ka na?" bungad ni Ace.

Kalalabas ko lang ng kwarto at plano ko sanang pumunta sa cafeteria. It's lunch time. Hindi kasi ako kumain ng pang-agahan kanina kaya nakaramdam ako ng gutom ngayon.

"Pupunta pa lang ng cafeteria. Ikaw?" I asked.

"I was about to call you. Sabay na tayo. Nandon na sina Hunt."she said.

Oh. After few days, nagsama-sama rin kami. Tumango ako bilang pagsang-ayon. Ace then lead the way.

Lahat ng nadadaanan naming mga agents ay busy. Paper works here and there. Dahil sa sunod-sunod na insidente, naging mas mailap ang ahensiya sa mga misyon. They make sure everything is okay. The agents are also monitored every now and then. The agency is even more strict now.

Paliko na ako sa hallway papuntang cafeteria, ng bigla akong hinila ni Ace.

I gave her a confused look. Akala ko ba kakain?

"Hindi diyan. Sa labas tayo kakain. Hindi ka ba nauumay na palaging pagkain sa cafeteria ang kinakain mo?"

Hindi pa ako nakakasagot, hinila niya na ako palabas. Paglabas ng agency, nandon na ang apat na lalaki. I was shocked to see Rainela.

"Pinasama ni Hunt. Kinakawawa ng ibang agents eh." bulong ni ace habang papalapit kami.

"Hi Nyx. Long time no see." bati ni Yudis.

I smiled "Yeah. Nice seeing you again" kahit na kakikita lang namin kahapon.

We work in the same building, yet we rarely see each other. We talked for a bit. Tahimik lang si Hunt at Rainela sa gilid. It was awkward, alright.

"Let's go. Baka gutom na kayo. " anyaya ni Hunt sabay tingin sa akin.

"Okiii. Sa backseat ako. Rex tabi ka sakin." saad ni Yudis.

Sabay na pumasok sina Yudis at Rex sa backseat ng sasakyan ni Hunt. Red and Ace will be riding a different car. Maybe Red's car.

Hindi ko alam saan ako sasakay. I don't want to ride with Ace and Red because I'll look like a third wheel. Hell, I also don't want to fit myself in Hunt's car. Puno na iyon.

"Magmo-motor na lang ako." I said.

"No. You can ride with Ace and Red." Hunt paused, like he wanted to say something but stop himself. "Para hindi na hassle. It'll be safer that way." he added.

I just sighed and nodded before going to Red's car. I put my seatbelts on and looked outside the window. I crossed my arms and watched Hunt opening the door for Rainela. They look closed now. I just sighed and closed my eyes. The thought of seeing him with another girl makes me feel uncomfortable. Or maybe, I just got used to him, giving me special treatment before. Ako lang. Hindi naman ganito ang nararamdaman ko sa tuwing nakikita ko siya may kasama noon. Pero bakit kapag si Rainela…

Fuck! What's happening to me?! Palala na ako ng palala. This isn't good.

Pagkarating sa restaurant, naupo malapit sa bintana si Hunt. Sa tabi niya si Rainela at sa tabi nito ay si Rex. Nasa harap ni Rex si Red. Of course, Ace sat next to Red. Si Yudis ay naupo sa kabisera. The chairs in front of Hunt is empty. I have no choice, but to sit there.
