NES #5: Million Fingerprints

ZHANGWEI

Am I dreaming right now? Kasi kong nanaginip lang ako, ayuko ng magising pa gusto ko nalanh managinip hanggang sa mamatay ako. I was looking at the woman who we thought dead and we mourn for years. Tapoa ngayon makikita namin sya na nakatayo sa may pintuan, wala man lang pinagbago.

My eyes landed on her katana, it was the same katana that I saw at the night sacrifice herself to save me when infact kaya ko naman syang iligtas at makakalabas kaming dalawa mula sa factory na iyon. She really confirmed that she's the girl behind those Ace Of Spade mark.

Pero aaminin ko na miss ko ang babaeng ito.

"My work here is done, Now it's my turn to finish my personal plan." Inikot nito ang kanyang katana at binalik sa lagayan nito.

Walang nagabago sa pustura nito pati sa tunonng pananalita nito, sya parin yung malamig na babaeng nagsalita, na akala mo ay patay na o kinunan ng emosyon ng maykapal

Tinapunan nya kami muli ng tingin bago sya naglakad papunta sa paanan ng hagdanan, walang miski ni isang gumalaw sa amin upang lapitan ang babae, we're still in shocked to see her. Hindi ako makapaniwala na buhay sya, I mean, I saw her being eaten by the fire because of the explosion.

Hindi ko makakalimutan ang gabing iyon dahil hanggang ngayon dala ko parin ang guilt ko but now, seeing her right now, I look like a fool but also I am happy that she's alive, makakatulog na siguro ako ng maayos ngayon because there's a certain blurry picture on my dream that it always haunted me.

Please help me get out, that's the only thing I only heard but pictures are blurry. Maybe it's her.

Tiningnan lang namin sya hanggang sa mawala sya paningin namin, naiwan kaming nakatulala na sa hangin, contemplating if we saw her or we are just day dreaming because of how we missed her.

"She's here.." wala sa sariling usal ni Alison.

Lumingon ako sa kanya doon ko nakita ang luhang saktong tumulo mula sa kanyang mata, the pain was visible. She looks like she was beeing betrayed.

"She's here the whole time! She's with you the whole time and you didn't tell me?!" Galit nyang tiningnan si Mr. Agustin. Sunod-sunod na tumulo ang luha ni Alison habag nakatingin sa lalake.

"It was her request not to tell everyone.." kalmadong sagot ng lalake sa kanya, sa totoo lang gusto ko syang sapakin.

Kahit sinabi nya na lang kay Alison na buhay ang kaibigan nito, hindi na sana siguro hahantong sa ganito ang sitwasyon ni Alison ngayon. I know the very reason why she left the agency, it is because of her not because she was being framed up by the demons inside the agency.

Maven was the only reason why dhe continue to be an agent and when Maven lost her life, she also lost interest on the Field that we were in today.  Hindi madaling mawalan ng kaibigan na tinuring mo ng pamilya.

"Fuck that fucking request." Sinipa ni Alison ang hangin dahil sa kanyang galit. "You know how I felt when I lost her! I know how I mourn for her! You know how much I care for her! Dahil kong mawawala sya, para narin akong namatay! I valued her so much, that I am willing risk everything for her!"

"She's my best friend, she's my only family since everyone left me, she's the obly thing that I have in this world! Sya yung dahilan bakit pa ako nabubuhay dito sa mundong to! How could you do that to me, Tito,you saw everything since we were little, sana inisip mo din ako bago mo inisip yung gusto nya."
