The Demon General's Young Wife

Chapter 71

Galit na galit ang first-lady nang mapagtantong peke ang abong nasa earthen jar ng Congresswoman.

Kakatapos lamang ng burol at balak na sana niyang isaboy sa basurahan ang abo ng nasirang Congresswoman nang maamoy niyang amoy BBQ ang abo noong buksan niya ang sisidlan.

Nang suriin niya iyun ay napag-alaman niyang parang hinakot lamang iyun mula sa BBQ shop or somewhere.

"HILLARY! HANGGANG NGAYUN BA NAMAN BIDA-BIDA KA PARIN?! ANU TO?! AT SINO NAMANG GUMAWA NITO? SINO!" Galit na bulalas ng first-lady at galit na ibinagsak ang hawak na banga dahilan para mabasag ito.

That's when the ashes were spread out revealing a small piece of paper.

Nangunot ang noo ng first-lady gayun din si Francis nang makita iyun . Gayun din ang reaksyon ng mga tauhan nila na kasama nila sa harap ng isang dumpster.

May nakaguhit doong parang logo sa paningin nila, it was in both red and black colors. It looks like two letter being combined to create a logo ngunit parang logo iyun ng isang mercenary or a mafia group.

Nakaramdam ng kaba n'un ang first lady gayun din ang Bise-presidente.

"Clarissa, a-are you sure that Dhark is really dead?" Tila diskumpyado namang biglang naitanong ni Francis.

Hindi naman nakasagot agad ang fisrt-lady na tila nawala ang confidence, "o-of course! Nandun siya mismo sa sasakyang sumabog. The DNA sample matched him too." Sa wakas ay naitugon niya.

"Then who the hell is doing all of these fuss! Una yung pekeng tao sa kwarto ko, ngayon naman may nagnakaw ng abo ni Hillary at pinalitan ng peke, and that logo or whatever you call that. Is this supposed to be a warning? Yaysh! Who are they and what are they after? Money? Revenge? Anu?! Are they Mafia or mercenaries? How dare they threaten as like this!" Mahaba namang iritadong pahayag ni Francis.

Tahimik lamang ang nag-iisang luhang naglalakbay sa pisngi ni Dhark habang nakatunghay siya sa huling hantungan ng ina.

He's sitting down on one knee while looking at his mom's picture. He's at her niche na siya mismo ang nagpagawa and it lies beside his dad's tombstone.

Napapakuyom ang mga palad at puno ng galit ang kanyang mga mata habang nakatitig sa larawan ng ina. "Rest well, Mom. You're with dad now, he'll for sure take care of you from now on. As for me, I'll take care of those people who did us wrong. Hanggang sa sila mismo ang magpakulong sa mga sarili nila o mas piliin na lamang magpakamatay kesa maiharap sa akin." He asserted so casually with his now empty stares. It seems like even pain can't do anything to his numb and hardened heart.

It was at that moment when Shu has finally found him without him noticing it. Well, maybe he does feel some footsteps behind him but he didn't bother to take a glance thinking that it's just another beraved or a sepulcher or maybe one of his men guarding the area.

"H-Han..." Maya-maya'y naisatinig ni Shu dahilan para mamilog ang kanyang mga mata at napaangat ng bahagya ng mukha.

Only Shu calls him Han, so there's no way that it's from someone else. Pero hindi siya makapaniwala kaya napapikit siya thinking that it's just some figment of his perturbed mind.

That's when Shu came closer at yumukod sa likod niya to hug him from the back dahilan para lalong manlaki ang kanyang mga mata. "D-Deanna?" Sa wakas ay naisambit niya.

Hindi naman tumugon n'un si Shu at niyakap lamang siya ng matagal. Wala siyang naging imik ngunit wala ding naging pagtutol. Sa halip ay dinama niya ang yakap ng kanyang asawa na batid niyang isang yakap ng pakikiramay.
