Sonkan 2 (The Revolution)

Chapter 12

-Alexi-

MABIBIGAT ang paghingang pinakawalan ni Reigan habang nakapako ang tingin nito kay Trevor. I'm seeing that aura again. The aura he's carrying whenever he turned into Al Capone, the badass gangster that everyone fears.There's no emotion in his face but I could feel his rage. His anger is flowing through his fist which curled tightly. Craving to quench his thirst on killing Trevor. Makikita sa lukot na mukha ni Trevor ang pagdaing nito habang pinipilit nitong gumapang palayo. Reigan isn't satisfied on the strike he did to Trevor so he drew near to him and grabbed him by the hair. Binuhat siya nito sa ulo at sinalampak ang mukha sa pader na parang isa lamang itong bloke ng yelo. I gasped in awe.

"You hurt her. Now I have reason to kill you" mariin nitong sambit. Puno ng galit ang kanyang boses. Hindi pa ito nakuntento at sinandal niya sa pader si Trevor at paulit ulit na pinagsusuntok sa mukha. Every punches looks like a hard rock hitting his face. I saw how Trevor's face bleed as he couldn't do anything but to receive his punches. I was stunned. Parang ibang Reigan ang nasa harap ko ngayon. Tila lahat ng nakimkim nitong galit ay bumuhos sa bawat suntok na 'yon. Kusa na lamang akong napasigaw nang may dalawang Ghetto ang papalapit sa likod niya. Ang isa ay may hawak na tubo at ang isa ay jigsaw.

"Reigan. Sa likod mo!"

Agad na bumaling doon si Reigan at bago pa siya mahampas ng tubo ng lalaki ay nahawakan na nito ang kamay niya. Kusang natumba sa semento si Trevor na bugbog ang mukha nang bitawan siya ni Reigan. His face is still blank but his eyes were blazing. His anger is like a fire that whoever go near to him would be burned. Dahan dahan niyang pinilipit ang kamay ng Ghetto na 'yon hanggang sa mabitawan niya ang tubo. He screamed in pain and looked at Reigan as if he's desperately begging him to let go his hand. At this point, he has no mercy. It's like something triggered him to get mad on that extent. Narinig ko nalang ang pag-crack ng buto ng lalaking 'yon at natutula ako nang makitang nakapihit pabaliktad ang braso nito. Did he just break his arm?

Sunod itong lumingon sa babaeng may hawak na jigsaw. Bakas ang takot sa mukha nito nang sa kanya naman bumaling ang atensyon ni Reigan. She concealed it by attacking him with jigsaw but Reigan caught her by the neck. Kinuha ni Reigan ang jigsaw sa kanyang kamay at initsa ito sa maalikabok na semento. The girl is struggling to breath as her blood flow blocked on her throat. Dahan dahan siyang tinaas ni Reigan at tila walang balak bitawan hanggang sa mamatay ito.

"Reigan.."

I called him. With that little voice of mine, it immediately captured his attention. His eyes were glued to me as they softened. He looked like he melted when he saw me in cuffs.

"Alexi.."

He gazed back at the Ghetto girl he was choking and slammed her back on the wall before he let her go. The Ghetto girl passed out. Seconds before I realized, all of Trevor's guards in this place were all knocked down when I looked around them. Lumapit siya kay Trevor na kasalukuyang walang malay at kinapa ang bulsa nito. He took the keys and walked towards me. He hurriedly inserts the keys on the cuffs. As my hands free from the cuffs, kusa na lamang akong natumba dahil sa panghihina ng tuhod ko. Agad akong sinalo ni Reigan at niyakap. At the moment, I feel safe in his arms. I hugged him back as my tears suddenly fell.

I was like a child being rescued. The flood of emotions I was trying to cover went down as I was crying in Reigan's chest. I heard him hushing me.

"Shh..it's okay. I'm here. You're safe now" his voice is soothing. Somehow it calms me a bit. Naramdaman ko ang labi nito na lumapat sa ulo ko. Now he's back being gentle. Malayong malayo sa galit na Reigan kanina. I don't want him to come here but I'm glad he saved me.

"Hey, lovebirds"

Parehas kaming napalingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses. My forehead creased as I saw Coleen standing within a few meters from us. Umangat ang tingin ko kay Reigan. "Did you come with her?"
