Deepest Secrets Of Gangsters {On Going}

[01] Assassins

JEZZUI'S POV

Bigla akong napamulat ng mata. Hindi ko napansin na hinihingal na pala ako. My heart was beating really fast.

Napahinga ako ng malalim at pilit inalala kung nasaan ako. Maya-maya pa ay bumangon ako.

Ah. Now, I remembered.

I'm here beside a cliff. I went here a while ago to clear my mind. Hindi ko napansin na nakatulog pala ako.

This was where I usually hangout. It's kind of a personal space to me. My friends didn't know about this place 'cuz I never spoke of it with them. Maybe because I only go here whenever I wanted to be alone.

I inhaled the air around me. The atmosphere here was one of the few things that make me calm. It's really peaceful. Maya-maya ay naalala ko kung bakit nga ba ako nagising.

That dream again.

It has been eight years since that happened. The day when I lost a huge part of me. A nightmare. I honestly didn't want to remember it but I must. It's one of the things that keeps me going. And it always cling to my dreams.

Napayukom ako ng kamay. 'Yung sakit na nadama ko noon, hindi pa rin nawawala. Pero sa dami ng napagdaanan ko matapos mangyari 'yon, I learned how to control it.

After that incident, Tito Kent took me and my brother in. He stood as our guardian and brought us here in U.S. He also made sure to make us stronger.

I entered the organization my parents founded as a top assassin. My brother did too but he excelled more on hacking and tracking. This organization my parents build was doomed to fall. But Uncle Kent saved it.

He took over the organization together with some of the elders after my parents were killed. He was the second in command of my father, which was also why he was able to gather the support of the elders and held the organization firm.

We went through hell just to get to where we are now. I'm able to hide the pain and keep myself void of any emotions that would stop me from doing my plans thanks to the training I've been through.

After all, that's what I live for.

Napabuntong-hininga ako. I should head back soon. Baka mamaya ay kung ano na ang kalokohang nangyayari dun. But I'll stop by the arena for a while.

NAGMAMANEHO AKO papuntang apartment. Medyo mabilis ang takbo ko dahil gusto ko ng magpahinga. I just went through a rough fight. It was fun breaking the arrogant fool's bones and beating him to death but, right now, I just want to sleep.

Finally, I arrived. Bumaba ako sa motor at dumiretso papuntang pintuan. I suddenly stopped walking.

Something was wrong. I could feel it. It tried to listen if there were any noise inside. But it was dead quiet. I slowly opened the door.

Ang dilim. Nang binuksan ko ang ilaw, mukhang sinalakay ang apartment ko ng bagyo dahil sa gulo. While looking around, I heard something breaking from the kitchen.

I knew it.

Dumukot ako ng maliit na punyal mula sa likod ko. Hinawakan ko iyon ng mahigpit at naglakad ng dahan-dahan patungong kusina. Hinanda ko na ang sarili ko.

Pagkarating ko sa kusina, biglang may lumipad na punyal papunta sa akin. Agad ko naman itong iniwasan. Tinignan ko kung saan nanggaling ito at nandoon ang isang lalaki na pinapaikot pa sa kanang kamay niya ang isa sa mga punyal na hawak niya.

An assassin.

Napangisi ako. Bigla na naman akong binato nito ng punyal. At sa pagkakataong iyon, sinalo ko na gamit ang dalawang daliri sa kaliwa kong kamay. Inasinta ko ang leeg ng kalaban at ibinato pabalik iyon. Natamaan ko siya dahilan para sumirit ang dugo niya at matumba.
