~PAIN~
MATUTULOG na sana ako ng may biglang kumatok sa may pinto. Ang buong akala ko ay si kamatis pero nadatnan ko sa labas si Mr. Everton na nakatayo doon. He smiled and pretty obvious it's just a fake one. Not genuine smile.
"Can we talk Miss Herrera." maawtoridad na wika nito. It's not a question, it's a command.
"Of course Mr. Everton." sagot ko saka binuksan ng maluwang ang pinto para papasukin ito. Naupo kami sa pandalawahang mesa na naroon.
"I want to ask about this."
Napatingin ako sa white folder na nilapag nito sa mesa bago ko kinuha at binuksan. Napaupo ako ng tuwid matapos kong makita ang pamilyar na mukhang nasa litratong kalakip ng folder. Kaagad kong tinanggal ang ano mang reaksyon ko ng makita iyon bago ako muling tumingin kay Mr. Everton.
"That guy is one of the top most wanted person over the world. He is Jefferson Herrera, the big boss of a big, powerful and dangerous organization that you called messoribus papilio or in English term the Reapers Butterfly. The organization involed in drug-dealing with not so extraordinary drugs, gambling, racketeering, prostitution, illegal transport of firearms all over the world and lastly...killers."
"Why are you telling all this stuff about this guy to me?" maang-maangang tanong ko.
Napataas ng isang kilay ito. "I just thought you know that guy, your surename is the same."
Natawa ako ng pagak. "It doesn't mean we are related Mr. Everton just because we have the same surename, hindi lang ako ang nag-iisang Herrera dito sa mundo."
Sa pagkakataong ito ay siya naman ang natawa ng pagak. "Oh! come on Miss Herrera, let's stop fooling each other and please don't fool this old man." then he smirked. "I know who you are, I know where you came from and I know what kind of people your family is."
I knew it! Kaya pala kakaiba ang kinikilos nito pagdating sa akin dahil alam na niya ang likod ng pagkatao ko. Hindi na ako magtataka pa kong paano nito nalaman lahat ng mga impormasyong iyon. Using his power and wealth he can do everything to know what my secret is. Madaling kumuha ng isang taong mag-i-imbestiga sa isang taong katulad ko at hindi na nakakapagtataka na kilala niya ang walang'yang ama ko. Tsk. My father is kinda popular guy because of his criminal organization.
"But the real reason why I came here is to tell you that I don't like you for my grandson, you're a big disgrace to his name and to our family!" mariing saad nito na may bakas sa tinig ang malaking pagkamuhi sa akin.
"I don't want to be rude Mr. Everton especially you are his grandfather but let me tell you this, I don't care if you already know the real me and the hell I care if you don't like me for your grandson. Forest decide what he wants to his life, not me, not you or anyone else."
Napataas ng isang kilay ito. "Really? then let's see after my grandson discover who truly you are Pain Sleing HERRERA."
Doon ako natigilan matapos nitong sabihin iyon. Handa na ba akong malaman ni kamatis ang pagkatao ko? No! mariing sagot naman ng aking isipan. Muli kong binalik ang aking atensyon kay Mr. Everton na nakangisi na, unting-unting nawala ang matapang na ekspresyon sa aking mukha. "What will be his reaction after knowing that you are related to this criminal. That you are a mafia's daughter?"
"Stop it!"
Natawa ito. "Seems your afraid that my grandson will found out your dirty big secret." his tone was matter-of-fact.
"What do you want me to do Mr. Everton?" I ask dryly with a blank expression.
"Break his heart."
