My Right-hand Accomplice (Amandora Oneshot)

#Accidents

*Ang daya mo.* Those were the words that kept on echoing throughout his head.

He began recklessly driving along the highway, passing by the speed limit that's clearly stated on every signage that's near. He passed down every car, every vehicle on sight. He could feel tears streaming down his face, everything was going too fast for him until he suddenly reached a breaking point.

He opened his eyes, he turned around and saw that his vision was blurry, he could feel the heat radiating from his surroundings, he could hear the screams of civilians outside his vehicle. He was confused, everything wasn't clear to him. He felt the area becoming hotter than usual, too hot, boiling in fact, then the world turned dark from his perspective.

It was a sunny afternoon in the estate, everything was going fine, not a single argument that was being led by anyone. Aurora took a sip from her Champaign before setting down her paperwork.

"Amando, pakidala nga nito ka kuya Galvan." She commanded.

But she was left with silence overwhelming her office, she looked around and noticed him missing.She sighed of annoyance, she grabbed the papers and left to go to her brother's mansion.

As she walked through the corridors of hr brother's mansion, she could hear the whispers of the other staff, chattering about some nonsense, she rolled her eyes and continued walking until she reached the main door. As soon as she stepped foot, she saw her brother sitting down and drinking tea while reading the newspaper.

She looked at him for a second before approaching him. Galvan noticed a presence, he quickly turned around and saw her sister.

"Aurora! What a lovely surprise!" Galvan greeted while setting down his paper.

Aurora rolled her eyes and immediately handed him a folder.

"Take this, nandyan na yung mga papeles na hinihingi mo, if you ever ask for a favor again make sure sa iba mo ipapautos, nakakapagod pumunta sa bahay mo!" Aurora stated

"Bakit ba kasi ikaw ang nagbigay nito? Nasan si Amando? Bakit hindi nalang sya ang utusan mo?" Galvan wondered before checking the envelope.

"I fired him." Aurora replied

Galvan paused for a moment, he looked at her, expecting another word but nothing came.

"Pardon?" He asked again.

"You heard me, I fired him, well sya mismo ang umalis." Aurora replied

"You fired Amando? Galvan asked.

"Yes." Aurora answered.

"You. Fired. Amando?" Galvan asked again.

"Technically, I did not fire him, sya mismo ang umalis." Aurora corrected him.

"Aurora anong bagay ang pumasok sa ulo mo at sinesante mo ang nag iisang kanang kamay mo, ang taong nakakaalam ng lahat ng sikreto mo, at ng pamilya natin." Galvan asked while raising his voice.

"Ginusto nyang umalis, kaya I didn't stop him." Aurora replied while turning around.

"Aurora, this is the first time na umabot sa ganito ang sitwasyon nyo, he has been so loyal to you since day 1, ano ba kasi a pinag awayan nyo para umalis sya. And knowing you? Alam ko ikaw ang may kasalanan." Galvan stated.

Aurora rolled her eyes at him and walked away, leaving him annoyed. This is why he hated having a proper conversation with her, it would always end up in her not answering anything.

Aurora left her brother's manor, annoyed by the question that hee brother was trying to ask. She remembered earlier when he was still in the manor, the last thing they argued about before leaving.

"Aurora, mali natong ginagawa mo, masasaktan si Sam kapag nalaman nya ang nakaraan nyo ng papa nya. Amando replied

"And why do you care?" She asked while looking at her collection of golden statues.

"Nag aalala ako sayo, bakit mo banaman kasi sya pinatulan?" Amando asked.

"Excuse me? Baka nakakalimutan mo na kung sino ang kinakausap mo Amando?" Aurora was annoyed before facing him.

"Nagtatanong lang ako Aurora, bakit ba ang hilig mong iwasan ang topic na'to? Dahil ba hindi mo tanggap na hindi ka pinili ng doctor nayun?" Amando asked once again.

Aurora snapped and quickly slapped him across the face.

"You have no right to question what I want to do with my own life Amando, know your place, and that's being my right hand man, nothing more, nothing less." Aurora replied

Amando smiled at her. "Ang daya mo." He replied

She looked up and met his gaze, his face was unreadable, but he continued.

"Ibiniga ko sayo ang lahat, hanggang ngayon, pero hindi parin pala sapat, kasi kaya mo naman pala makahanap ng magpapasaya sayo, sa taong hindi naman karapatdapat." He whispered.

"Anong sinabi mo?" Aurora asked while looking at him.

"Ayoko na." He replied not looking at her and leaving her standing on her own, she watched him leave her house and disappear.

Aurora rolled her eyes upon remembering what happened. She continued walking by her corridors when all of a sudden she heard the voice of Rico calling her.

"Ma'am Aurora! Nakita nyopo yung balita?" Rico asked concerned.

Aurora glared at her. "Wala akong pakelam sa mga balitang yan!" Aurora yelled before walking away.

Rico watched her leave, she looked at her phone and continued watching the live news.

"Ang heartless talaga ni ma'am." She whispered.

Aurora finally entered her home, as soon as she stepped foot inside her house her phone rang. She quickly grabbed it from her pocket and saw that it was an unauthorized number.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hello, is this Aurora Palacios?" A person from the other line asked.

"Of course, who is this? Why do you have my number?" She asked.

"Were calling from St. John's Hospital and clinic center, kayo po kasi yung nakalagay as emergency contact for Mr. Amando Namas?" She asked for confirmation.

She rolled her eyes upon hearing his name. "What do you wa-"

Before she could continue the nurse spoke again. "Naaksidente po kasi si sir along the freeway, nasunog din po kotse at buti nalang hindi nahulog sa tulay."

As soon as she heard those words she felt the world around her crumble. She never realized that this small conflict would lead to this scenario

"Amando".... She whispered in disbelief.

TBC....
