Hired Killer Chapter 36

##### Chapter 36 Reconciliation

The day of the fiesta has arrived and this is the beginning of the Miss Barangay Milagrosa pageant. The sound of the cheer from everyone echoed all around the stage, and people raised colorful banners of their favorite candidates for the pageant that marks the annual celebration of beauty, intelligence, and talent.

Faye was standing backstage, preparing for the pageant because she was one of the judges, looking at Yoko while her heart was still troubled. They have been fighting for weeks. At hanggang ngayon ay nagpapatigasan pa rin sila kung sino ang unang susuko.

Ang pagdating ni Travis sa pagitan nilang dalawa ay lalong nagpa-komplikado sa sitwasyon nila dahil labis-labis ang selos na nararamdaman ni Faye kapag kasama ito ni Yoko. Travis is also one of the judges of the pageant.

When the pageant started, the judges were seated in their respective seats, the crowd roared again. Yoko's siblings and friends were there to support her completely.

Faye had no idea there was going to be a swimwear competition. As the first candidates walked onto the stage, the audience cheered. However, when Yoko appeared, wearing a glittering bikini, the surrounding noise grew louder as Yoko's name was shouted. Faye seemed to lose herself for a few seconds because of the noise of the people and because she saw what Yoko was wearing, her breath caught in her throat. She wanted to run on stage to cover Yoko's body.

Yoko is confident in herself as she walks. She carries herself gracefully, her expression is both fierce and vulnerable. Yoko seems oblivious to the effect she has on the people watching, her focus is only on the stage. Even her fellow contenders, and the audience admire her greatly.

Ang pagnanais na sumugod sa entablado ni Faye at takpan ang katawan ni Yoko mula sa mga tingin ng mga manonood ay labis-labis ang pagtitimping ginagawa n'ya. She clenched her fists at her sides, kinagat-kagat n'ya na lamang ang labi n'ya. Walang ibang gustong gawin si Faye kung hindi protektahan si Yoko, ngunit narito sila, nababalot sa kanilang hindi malutas na alitan.

Until the talent portion came, Yoko sang and danced and the audience impact was so wild because as if her dancing and singing become sexy and hot. That's why it seems like the whole surroundings are heating up. Because of this, Faye swallowed hard.

Habang tumatagal ang gabi ay lalong nagiging mainit ang kompetisyon. Nakasuot ng napakagandang long gown si Yoko para sa evening gown portion. Tinutukan s'ya ng spotlight sa entablado, malakas ang kumpiyansa n'ya sa sarili.

Tumayo si Faye sa kanyang judging station, dahil s'ya ang magtatanong ng question kay Yoko para sa Q and A.
As Faye glanced at the card in her hand that was in the question, a smile appeared on her lips, because the question here seemed to be meant for them by fate.

" Yoko, para sa gabing ito, this is your question. Do you believe that in love there is no gender or age? "

Yoko’s eyes lit up with conviction, her words cascading like a gentle stream.
" Love knows no boundaries, neither gender nor age can define its depth or beauty. Love is a universal language, spoken fluently by those who dare to feel. It is the connection between souls that transcends societal norms. It does not recognize gender or societal norms. Love is the feeling that binds our hearts, transcending every label put upon it. Whether it’s a woman loving a woman or a man loving a man. Love is pure, it’s real, and it’s absolutely beautiful. "

Si Yoko ay nakatayo sa entablado, habang ang kanyang puso ay mabilis pa rin ang tibok dahil sa pagsagot n'ya ng tanong ni Faye para sa Q and A. Nagustuhan ng mga judges at mga manonood ang sagot n'ya, ang kanilang mga palakpakan at sigaw ay lalong nagpakaba sa kanya.
