"G-Give me Anaya and I'll give you Eithne."
Napakurap ako nang hindi nakalusot sa pandinig ko ang boses ni Darkkon. He was talking to Uncle Juno now after he hurt me with his words. Narinig ko na ang linyang iyon. Kakasabi n'ya lang no'n kanina?
I noticed that he would stop for a second before speaking. Pinag-iisipan n'ya kaya ang mga nasabi n'ya? Hindi kasi tuloy tuloy ang kaniyang pagkakasabi. Kanina ko lang napapansin pero mas nanaig ang sakit ng mga salitang binabato n'ya sa'kin.
Nang bigkasin n'ya ang salitang 'nagkaanak' ay 'nagka-anak' na tila ba ay hindi s'ya sigurado sa kaniyang sinasabi. Pero tinatakpan n'ya iyon ng galit sa kaniyang ekspresyon para mapaniwala ang lahat.
The small and unnoticeable details of his actions. . . I hope I was not just gaslighting myself.
Umangat ang tingin ko sa kaniya at napansin ko ang nakakuyom n'yang kamay. Nanginginig s'ya. Dumaan sa kaniyang mga mata ang lambot at sakit. Nang sinundan ko ang tingin nito ay hindi pala ito nakatingin kay Ayana.
He was staring behind her. Tila nakatitig s'ya sa kawalan at parang may pinapakinggan s'ya na s'ya lamang ang tanging nakakarinig.
My forehead creased after noticing his discomfort. He's not wearing his ghost skull mask, maybe he left it in the Jeep Wrangler. I could clearly read his expression and emotions. Sinuot n'ya lang yata iyon kanina upang 'di s'ya makita ng mga nagtatrabaho sa Private Armed Forces.
"Come here, Eithne," narinig kong matamis na utos ni Uncle Juno.
Tinalikuran ko si Darkkon at pursigido na akong ipagpalit ang sarili ko sa puwesto ni Anaya. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand.
I saw Uncle Juno pushing Anaya to step forward. Sinabayan ko ang bawat paghakbang ni Anaya.
Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang muli kong narinig ang boses ni Darkkon mula sa likuran ko.
"S-Stop. . . Stop," he sounded in pain.
Magkasalubong ang mga kilay ko at pilit inaalam kung ano ang nangyayari sa kaniya.
"Stop, fuck! She's just a baby! Stop!" Darkkon's baritone voice thundered.
Nanlamig ako sa galit at tumaas ang balahibo ko sa batok nang napagtanto ko ang mga nangyayari sa kaniya.
"I-I will fucking kill you if you touch my daughter! I did what you told me! I repeated after you word by word! I hurt my wife just to keep your hands off our daughter and the children! Fuck! Why am I still hearing Baby Lilith and the triplets crying? Goddammit!" galit na galit na sigaw ni Darkkon na parang kinakausap ang nasa kabilang linya ng suot n'yang microearpiece.
Wala sa oras akong mabilis na naglakad papunta sa kaniya at marahas kong hinawakan ang kaniyang tactical vest. I pulled him down to me because he's so tall and I couldn't reach his ear.
Kinulikot ng daliri ko ang kaniyang tainga hanggang sa maalis ko na ang micro earpiece. Hindi naman s'ya nanlaban sa akin. Hinayaan n'ya lang ako.
"E-Eithne, little one-"
Before he could stop me, I placed the microearpiece in my right ear and heard an unfamiliar voice of a man.
"Oh, Darkkon Sartori. Is my translator accurate? He told you the Tagalog lines I don't understand. Does 'pinagsisisihan kong nagkaanak tayo' mean you regret having a baby with her? Just making sure. I just want you to marry my daughter, and now she's heartbroken to hear that you have a little bitch with another woman. I chained Yosef Mizrahi after he almost betrayed me for telling the Prime Minister and the Israelic-State turned their back at me like how they turned their back at him. . ."
