Chapter 6:
The Greeks
DESIRE CARMELA
Mommy..
Is that you??
The car is not tinted so I can see the person driving that car. Isang babaeng naka suot ng dilaw na suit. She has a long wavy jet-black hair, pale white skin and cherry lips. Nakausot siya ng maskara but I can see her doe eyes, sharp jaw line that are way similar to the image of my Mom.
Kahit hindi ko makita ng buo ang kanyang mukha, I can see that she look like me..
Or not..
I look like her..
Pinilit ko ang aking sarili na huwag lumabas sa aking pinagtataguan. I still need to hide. I don't even know if she recognized me. I don't even know if she's truly my Mom.
Bumukas ang gate at wala akong ibang nagawa kundi pagmasdan lamang ang pagpasok ng babae sa loob.
Napapikit ako ng mariin ng maramdaman ko ang luha na tumulo sa aking pisngi.
"Desire.. don't cry.." pag alo ko sa aking sarili.
Pinagmasdan ko muli ang gate..
Shadows from the Sun..
Is this some kind of cult? Or Organization? Syndicate?
Right.. Thieves..
Ikaw ba talaga iyon, Mommy? Kasama ka ba nila? Magnanakaw ka din ba?
Bumukas muli ang gate at may isang babaeng lumabas doon. Nakasuot ito ng suit na kulay itim lahat. She's also wearing that maskara. She had that hair same as mine. May pulang highlights din ang buhok nya tulad ng buhok ko. Then I realize, siya iyon.. Ang babae na nakita din sa crime scene.
May kausap siya sa kanyang cellphone.
"I know. I just saw Selene." she spoke in monotone.
Sinundan ko siya ng patago. Siniguro kong walang ingay ang bawat yapak ko.
"I have important things to do, Cronus. Bye." binaba niya ang tawag at nagpatuloy sa paglakad. I notice how stealth she moved. Napakatahimik ng bawat hakbang niya. As if she's not walking at all. Para siyang nakalutang lang dahil masyadong tahimik ang bawat galaw niya.
Kinuha niya muli ang kanyang cellphone sa bulsa. Maybe because someone call her again.
"Cronus. You're annoying. Stop calling me. I'm not going to that meeting." aniya. Her way of speaking are emotionless. She's just talking on a very flat tone.
"I don't care about Helios and that Selene. Erebus are nowhere to be found. Hestia is not yet here in the Philippines. Theia is missing. And Helios is just a crazy brute and want revenge. That Selene just wants to be the boss here when she's not. Shadow is our only True God. Afterall, we are called Shadows because of him."
Kumunot ang noo ko sa mga nasambit nitong pangalan. Erebus? Hestia? Theia? Helios? Selene?
She also mentioned Cronus awhile ago.
