Being Her [On-going]

CHAPTER 16

Ravenese POV

"What's your name?" Malamig ang aking boses ng  tanungin ko siya.

"Forgive me for my late introduction. I forgot to introduce myself in the meeting room, Madam." Yeah! Ang taong nasa likod ko lang naman ay walang iba kung hindi ang personal guard ko. 

"You can just call me by my codename, Madam. It's SXM." Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa narinig.

Seryoso ba siya? Well, not bad, the problem is how would I pronounce it?

Tumikhim naman ako saka nagtanong. "How do you pronounce it?

*Light chuckles

Napataas ang kilay ko ng narinig ko ang mahina nitong pagtawa. Geez! His voice sounds pleasant in my ears!

Napailing ako sa iniisip ko at malamig na binalingan ang lalaki na ngayon ay tumahimik na.

  "You can just pronounce it by S-h-i-m, Madam." Saad nito habang may maliit na ngiti sa kanyang labi.

Geez! Kung araw-araw kung makita ang mukha at ngiting yan baka mahulog ako....ackk! But....! 

Iwinaksi ko sa isipan ang ideyang iyon dahil....WALA IYON SA PLANO KO! Baka maburilyaso pa ang plano ko kapag inuna ko ang mga bagay na di dapat kasali sa kailangan kong gawin.

"Alright, I'll call you SXM." Turan ko.

Tumango naman ito.

"But aside from that, I wanna ask you more." Saad ko at ibinalik ang tingin sa papalubog na araw.

"Sure, go ahead, Madam." Walang pakundangang pagpayag nito.

Confident, huh? Tsk! 

"Where do you live?" Una kong tanong. Madali naman niyang nasagot iyon.

"Andreda City, Madam. Do you still want the specific place?" May pang-aasar niyang tanong.

Tsk! You think I'd buy that answer. Geez! 

"No need. I can easily have that information in just a snap of my hand." Confident kong saad.

"Then, why are you asking me, Madam?" Nagtatakang tanong niya kaya napatawa ako ng mahina. 

Acting clueless, huh?

"Because, I want the truth to come from you, directly." Seryoso kong sagot.

"Now for my second question, Can I really trust you? Will I be able to rely unto you? Anytime? Anywhere?" Sunod-sunod kong tanong.

Seriously, Veranell? Second question ba talaga yan?! 

"You can, Madam. I am confident with my skills and with myself, of course."  Mayabang na sagot niya.

"Good, yet how can you show your loyalty? Are you even honest?" I asked with my cold tone.

"Didn't you said so, yourself, Madam. I am the best fighter among our group that's why the 'Mr.' assigned this task unto me." Paliwanag niya habang taimtim akong nakikinig sa sinasabi niya.
