Chapter 13: The News
****
Nagmamadaling pinuntahan ko agad ang DF. Wala na sila sa loob ng Event Hall kaya diretso kung tinahak ang daan papunta ng DF HQ dito mismo sa loob ng campus. Naabutan ko ang lahat doon pati na ang mga girls na hindi naman membro ng DF.
Natuon agad ang nagbabagang tingin ko kay Chase na prenteng naka-upo sa sulok na upuan. He doesn't look like a worried boyfriend. For goodness sake! His girlfriend is taken captive by the enemy and we don't know where they are yet he look like nothing happened? What the fvck!
Mabilis ko siyang nilapitan at hinablot ang damit niya. Gulat siyang napatingin sa'kin. Napatayo siya sa paghablot ko ng damit niya kaya diretso siyang tumingin sa mga mata ko.
"You fvcking bastard!" I cuss at his face. Because of rage I forgot that he is still a superior to me, next to the GeP.
Mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang pulsuhan ko at marahas na tinanggal ang kamay ko na nakahawak sa damit niya.
"I'm not a bastard, in case you don't know." He said coolly. "What's the matter, Aries?"
I sigh harshly. "Seriously Chase, you're not worried? Those filthy Yakuza people has taken Shandra yet you're acting this way?"
"That's it?" He looked at me unbelievably, as if I'm stupid. "Do you really think I'm that heartless? Aries, it's Shandra you're talking about, my beloved girlfriend. Of course, I'm dead worried as you are, all of us here. But we all know that she's not just a simple girl, Shandra is a Princess for crying out loud. At hindi ko siya magawang pigilan kung gagawin niya ang tungkulin niyang yun. Kahit masakit sa akin, kahit sobrang hirap ng kalooban ko at kahit sobrang nag-alala ako wala pa rin akong magagawa. Dahil nangako akong hindi ko siya pipigilan o pagbabawalan kung kailangan niyang gampanan ang tungkulin bilang Prinsesa."
That makes me speechless. Chase almost shouted. Halata sa boses niya at sa masamang tingin ang pangigigil.
"And I'm just here sitting, dying for her call. I maybe look like I'm not worried but I'm am, Aries. Not just worried but I'm also afraid so damn much right now." Pabagsak siyang naupo ulit sa inupuan niya kanina. Itinukod ang siko sa hita at itinakip sa mukha ang dalawang kamay.
I groan inwardly. "I'm sorry, I was over the line." I said in a regret voice. I can't help it but to curse myself in my mind.
"Where's Nemesis, Aries? Di ba kayo ang magkasama?" A question came from Haven.
"That's also the problem. I lost her. Ng balikan ko siya sa pinagtataguan niya, wala na siya." Inilabas ko ang panyo na nakita ko kanina malapit sa pinaglapagan nila kay Shandra. "I found this near the place where I hide her. This belong to Neme."
"Is it possible she's taken away by same people who take Shandra away?" Vash ask.
"Maybe or maybe not. Besides she's had nothing to do with Yakuza's." Answered Laxus.
May sasabihin pa sana ako ng pabalyang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang nakakunot-noong si Novie. She's giving me a sharp look before she look directly to Chase and frown. Bago niya binalingan ang iba.
"Gentlemen and Lady?" Tumuon ang tingin nito kay Yana at bahagya pang tumaas ang kilay. Na nginisihan lang huli. "We need to go to The Mansion, asap. The Grand and Head Scamper called us."
We all groan in dismay. Naka-abot na agad sa kanila ang nangyari. At mukhang masasabon kaming lahat nito. Lalong-lalo na kaming dalawa ni Novie. Mukhang yun din ang maging kapalaran ni Chase.
