SAB Series #1 : Behind the Dark Shadow

Wild

I stared at the ceiling, my mind feels blank I don't know what to think. I just laid on my bed while staring blankly on my ceiling. I feel so pathetic acting like this.

How come a fucking Laurier came at this point?

I can heard the door of my room opened. I tightly close my eyes and was ready to yell who dimwit had the gut to disturbed my silence.

But I stopped when I heard Ram voice.

"You look in hell Wild. You fucking look like a loser right now," he said.

I open my eyes and turn my head to look at him. I glared at him, piercing my gazed on him to tell him I don't wanna talk to him.

"Go away," I said and turn my eyes back on my ceiling. I don't have any strength to speak with him.

"No. I won't go until you come to us. Baka nakakalimutan mo may meron kang responsibilidad, Laurier."

I snap my head to look at him, the intensity of my glare burning against his sharp gazed.

"Guevero..."

"One more thing. Laurier's called a meeting today."

What he told me made me stop from glaring at him. Instantly my mood changed. If I felt nothing earlier, now I can feel annoyance by the mere sound of my families name.

Sasabay pa talaga sila.

"A what..? Meeting with them?" Bumangon ako mula sa pagkakahilata. Ram was looking at me boredly, umirap pa ang mata nito. This man, tsk.

"Yes requested by Vante."

I clenced my jaw after hearing that man name. I'm sure he's probably aware from what's going on in our family. Ngayong alam na nila hindi ko na maitatago pa ito.

"Right, sino mga kasama?" I asked Ram who told me who would be present from the said meeting. Ayoko na sana pa magkaroon ng pagpupulong ngunit hindi ko naman na mapipigilan pa. Families circle calling for a meeting made me shiver.

Dahil nga sa binalita ni Ram sa akin ay napilitan akong kumilos kahit ayoko. Inside my room it feels so lonely. Walang wala na iyong dating buhay noong nandito siya.

Pinagmasdan ko ang mukha ko sa salamin. Sa ilang araw matapos marescue sila Ram bumalik kami rito sa mansion na may mabigat na damdamin. I would be lying if I told everyone I'm fine if it's not. I'm not fine from what happened. I didn't expect him to say such things to me that day. I didn't expect him being in Bellevue side, trying to deceive me.

Kaya naman pala kada kikilos kami ay napupurnada dahil sa kanya. He gave them all the information he needed, ang tanga ko sa part na iyon. Alam ko na ngang may traydor sa loob ng pamilya nagbulag bulagan pa ako.

"Ready?" I heard Chalevere speak, he's casually leaning on the doorframe. Pinagmamasdan ako.

"Yeah," tipid kong sagot.

The four of us went to Thunder Audi A8 that he really loves. Lahat kami ay naka black suit na tila ba ay aattend sa patay. Well, mukhang patayan naman pupuntahan namin, knowing my family? Ni minsan hindi naging kalmado ang lahat kapag magkakasama.

I saw him waiting for us while leaning on his black car with a cigar on his lips, he look at us with a smirk which I rolled my eyes.

"Yabang," rinig kong usal ni Ram bago buksan ang back seat. Pumasok ako doon kasunod siya, si Chalevere naman sa passenger na inutusan si Thunder na mag drive na.

I looked at the window thinking sadly we still haven't find Gabrielle. Simula noong araw na iyon wala kaming balita sa kanya, naambushed siya at hanggang ngayon hindi namin alam kung buhay pa ba siya o hindi. I am hoping he's still alive, kasi kung hindi baka kung ano ng magawa ko.
