❝ Oath and Duty ❞
—✦ Elara
In just a snap, the whole world turned its back against Kol Aiden—the man that was once every girl's dream; the man that was once labeled as the country's pride; the man that was once adored by the whole nation.
Kol Aiden is now in the country's wanted list, at hinahanap na ito ng mga police. Maya't-maya ang mga balita sa TV patungkol sa kaniya at sa mga krimeng ginawa niya, pati sa social media ay sulpot nang sulpot ang pangalan niya. Everyone already knows his real identity.
His fans are devastated and extremely disappointed. Ang pagmamahal na pinangako nilang walang hangganan ay unti-unting nagiging poot at panlilibak.
Some people from his management are already speaking up and exposing his unusual behavior that they sometimes encountered—which I never encountered. Or maybe because I'm a clueless naive, easily-manipulated fool.
The Bright Sun is now known as the Dark Soleil.
The most loved man in the whole country is now the most hated criminal.
Apat na araw na ang nakalilipas nang makatakas si Kol mula sa rooftop, Apat na araw na rin akong umiiyak habang paulit-ulit na nadudurog ang puso ko.
Hindi ko rin maiwasang mapaisip kung nasaan na si Kol, anong kalagayan niya at saan ito nagtatago.
I hate him with all my heart. He fucking deceived me—he betrayed me. But I still can't help but to care.
Though, it still hurts.
I did nothing but to hug him lovingly, and he? He was pointing his knife behind my back.
At unti-unti, pinagsisisihan kong. . .
Pinagsisisihan kong nakilala ko siya. . .
"Can't you just move back to your Dad? It's dangerous for you to live alone."
My gaze divert to Flint right after he says those words. Naririto kami ngayon sa sala at kasalukuyang nakaupo rito sa sofa.
Malumanay akong napangiti sa kaniya. "It's okay, Flint. Mahigpit ang security rito. He won't be able to come near me."
Matapos mailagay si Kol sa wanted list sa buong bansa, hindi na ako pumasok sa office. Hindi na rin ako lumalabas dito sa condo. It's not that I'm afraid, it's Flint who advised me to stay in my condo until they catch Kol.
Sa totoo lang ay mas nag-aalala pa 'ko kay Flint kaysa sarili ko. Kol is after him. He is his ninth target.
Hanggang sa hindi pa nahuhuli si Kol, hindi pa guaranteed ang kaligtasan ni Flint.
Nabasag ang ilang segundong katahimikan nang marinig namin ang pagbukas ng pinto ng unit ko at may pumasok mula roon. Bumungad naman sa 'min si Maia na may bitbit na groceries.
