CHAPTER 19
MAHINA SIYA pagdating sa babaeng mahal niya. Alam iyon ni Luther kahit hindi sabihin sa kaniya ng ibang tao. Just one kiss from his beloved, Amethyst, he melted like a chocolate under high heat. Her lips were soft and sweet and it just sent him to frenzy. And it rendered his capability to think rationale.
Slowly, Amethyst stops kissing him and pulled away to asked him a question. "Galit ka pa ba sakin?" May pag-aalinlangan sa boses nito at kaba sa sagot niya.
Pangko-pangko pa rin niya ang dalaga habang naglalakad siya patungo sa silid niya.
Huminga siya ng malalim saka tumitig sa mga mata nito. "You know, Amethyst, I already accepted the fact that i can't stay mad at you for a long time. Kahit yata anong pilit kong magalit sayo... I just can't stay mad."
Bumukas ang kasiyahan sa mukha nito saka hinaplos ang pisngi niya. "So you'll take me back?"
Napatitig siya sa dalaga. Is she playing with me? Or maybe not. Maybe she's being honest this time? But how can he trust an Agent who's job is to put him behind bars?
"Luther?" Pukaw nito sa kaniya.
Napakurap-kurap siya saka pasimpleng huminga ng malalim. "Do you want me to take you back?" Yes, I'm weak.
Nakangiting tumango ito saka ihinilig nito ang ulo sa balikat niya. "So...kumusta ka na?" Tumikhim ito. "Are you doing fine?"
Luther kicked the door to his room open. "I'm still breathing. Still no Police to put me behind bars."
"What are you doing now?" Tanong nito, halata ang kuryusidad sa boses.
Umiling siya saka ihiniga si Amethyst sa kama. "Hindi ko sasabihin sayo." Puno ng pagdududa ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya. "Yes, I'm not mad anymore but my trust, you broke it and I'm having a hard time putting it back together."
Amethyst's face saddened and he felt a jolt of ache in his heart. Pero tama naman ang sinabi niya. May karapatan siyang hindi pagkatiwalaan ang dalaga.
"I understand." Sabi nito saka pilit na ngumiti. "I'm really sorry, Luther. I was just doing my job. Yes," Amethyst confessed. "I'm an IIEA Agent. I'd been an agent for three years now. I'm not a full-pledge field agent; my expertise lies in intelligence department only. Mas iba akong misyon ng umuwi ako, pero hindi ikaw 'yon. Laking gulat ko nalang ng binigyan nila ako ng bagong misyon at ikaw nga 'yon. Nahirapan akong magdesisyon kong anong gagawin ko, anong pipiliin ko. Ikaw ba o ang misyon ko."
"Obviously," Luther sighed, "ang misyon mo ang pinili mo."
She wanted to nod her head, to make him believe that she sent the report but she found herself shaking her head. "It wasn't me, Luther. I didn't sent it."
Luther snorted. "I have connections, Amethyst. Alam kong ikaw 'yon."
Tumango siya. "Yes, it was sent from my e-mail but I didn't send it."
"Who then?"
Nag-iwas ito ng tingin, "I can't tell you who. You maybe lenient to me but I don't think you'll show the person responsible for the report mercy."
Luther tsked. "So you're protecting this person?"
"I have to. That person did my job that I couldn't do." She sighed heavily. "Though I'm guilty of typing the first and second part of the report, the rest was not mine. Hindi ko kasi kayang tapusin." Kinagat nito ang pang-ibabang labi, "I left it in the draft of my e-mail. And when you killed that man and I left, I cried the whole night thinking whom of what the right thing to do."
