Chapter 30

"R-Rohen!" I yelled at him when he already stepped out of the car. Alone.

Cold liquid ran through my body. He gave me furrowed brows. I swallowed hard. "P-Please be careful..." I couldn't even hear my own voice because my nervous system is starting to mess up.

Pero mukhang naintindihan niya ang sinabi ko dahil tumango lang ito bago sinara ang pinto. I immediately locked it like what he said, but my eyes were on him. He strode silently and unnoticeably on the side of the barricades. Palapit sa mismong mga naka-dock na malalaking bangka.

This is the first time I saw him holding a gun in his armored uniform. Is he trained for this kind of thing? He was so confident he could protect me back in Manila. He might learn how to held a gun but fighting a criminal without a back-up is a suicide except if he was really trained— My eyes widened at para akong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa napagtanto.

He's a Ronoua himself.

Napasandal ako sa backrest habang takip-takip ang kamay sa bibig. He is a Ronoua! B-Bakit ngayon ko lang napagtanto?! Of course he was highly trained! Apat lang sila na apo sa side ng Ronoua! O-Of course he was... Without Castiel, he can be the successor of Ronoua Intelligence.

"Rohen is full of surprises." I stated to myself, bewildered.

Naibalik ko ang kamay sa manibela dahil ni isang segundo hindi ko tinanggal ang mata sa kanya. But I guess I have nothing to worry about. If Castiel also allowed him to come here alone first, he knew Rohen could fight. He will not risk his cousin's life in an operation.

I tried to focus and shoved away the thoughts and revelation because this is not the time to be flabbergasted by Rohen's identity. But I feel like, whatever I am unveiling now. Is just the tip of the iceberg.

Huminto ito sa isang maliit na building at nagtago sa gilid. Hindi na ganoon kadilim doon at kung susumahin, maybe it was the toilet of the port. Bilang na bilang ang mga tao sa paligid. If something happens, which surely will, they have all the time to run. Meters away I tried to watch his every move.

In his perfect stance, holding a gun with two hands, my eyes widened when a middle aged man went out of the toilet unalert. Nasty and torn clothes, long tangled hair. Nagsimula siyang sundan ni Rohen paalis doon ngunit bago pa ito tuluyang malapitan ni Rohen ay nakaramdam na ang lalaki.

"Oh! Shocks!" sigaw ko nang bigla rin itong humugot ng baril at hinarap si Rohen.

Rohen, almost two feet away from him, held his hand that was holding the gun. Halos lalabas ang puso ko nang imbis iwasan ni Rohen ang baril ay sinalubong niya ito at hinawakan ang dalawang magkabilang dulo at inikot iyon nang mabilis, dahilan upang mabitawan ng lalaki. Walang kahirap-hirap niyang nabawi sa kamay ng lalaki iyon. It was so fast it happened in split seconds.

Rohen threw the gun away and shock was evident on the guy's face, that his gun just vanished in front of his eyes. Like a lion found his prey, Rohen went to him. The guy was panicking but he tried to throw punches pero sinasalag lang lahat ni Rohen.

I think Rohen is taking his time until the security arrives. He will not finish and send this criminal alone. I held on to the steering tightly while watching them. Nangangati ang paa ko na lumabas dito at tulungan si Rohen, pero pinaglalabanan ko ang sarili dahil alam kong wala naman akong matutulong sa kanya.

Isa pa, iyon ang kaisa-isa niyang bilin sa akin. Ang wag lalabas ng sasakyan kahit anong mangyari.

Rohen threw a powerful blow on the guy's face, and because he's way taller he did it so easily. He stepped closer and another one, then another one. I swallowed the sharp in my throat when I watched him putting all his distress and anger on everything that happened to the guy.
