The Red Butterfly (My Lady Gangster 2) :Published under Lifebooks

FINALE

Fia's POV

I planned for a perfect timing, the timing where Zach will corner Renz. Kasama ko sila Zia at Lhester, habang papunta pa lang bilang back up and Shadows at si Claude.

Napatumba namin ang mga tao ni Zach, kaya napaatras siya.

"Fia," he said looking at me. Kaya naman kaagad ko siyang tinutukan ng baril.

"Stay where you are!" I commanded and opened the door of Renz's car. He quickly got out.

"Fia, what is this? Ba't kasama mo sila Lhester?" Tanong niya na nakatingin kina Lhester at Zia na nakatutok rin ang baril kay Zach.

"This is a trap inside a trap, Hun." I smiled at him, but he frowned.

"Huh?"

"Don't mind that. For now we need to capture Zach." Utos ko at saka apat na kaming nakatutok ng baril sa kanya, nagtaas na rin siya ng baril at tinutok ito kay Renz.

"You think you caught me?" Zach asked backing away. I smirked; he never knows when to give up.

"Give it up, Zach. It's time for you to pay for your crimes." I stated, but he just laughed.

"My Lady, I was only doing those things for you. "

"What? Don't start blaming me for those. You killed Zehl, you tried to kill Renz twice, that is not for me. It was for yourself you idiot!"

Nawala naman ang ngisi sa labi niya. "Tch! Yes it was me. But I just want us to be together. Para walang sagalaba sa ating dalawa."

I almost throw up on what he said. I never thought I was blinded by this man before.

"Shut up! You disgust me! I never love you, Zach! You were just a pathetic obsessed stalker following me around! And there won't be anything between us!"

He gritted his teeth, he's distracted. That's why I though it was time. I looked at Zia's side. As of a cue, Zia pulled the trigger, but then Zach shot at the same time.

"Ack!" Renz shot on his shoulder. And Zach was about to pull the trigger again, but I pushed Renz away. I closed my eyes as another gunshot was fired. I was ready to be feel a graze, but I didn't feel any.

"Lhester!" That's when I realize Lhester blocked the bullet and was shot on his back. Lumapit rin si Zia roon, kaya narinig ko ang yabag ng papaalis na si Zach.

"I'm okay, go after the bastard!" Lhester told Zia, tinaguan rin ako ni Renz. Nang magkasalubong ang tingin namin ni Zia ay tumakbo na kaagad siya.

Habang hinahabol niya si Zach at pinaputukan ko ito sa kaliwang balikat niya, kaya napaluhod siya. Pero pinilit niyang tumayo, pero naabutan na siya ni Zia.

Pinaulanan kaagad siya ng suntok ni Zia at sipa. Pero nakakalaban pa rin si Zach. I could not shot again though, because I might hit Zia.

Kaya naman tumakbo ako papunta sa gawi nila, saktong papalapit na ako nang maitulak ni Zach ang kambal ko at tumalsik ito.

"Zia! Zach, you bastard!" I yelled as I slid beside his right leg and pulled it. Nadulas siya at nabitawan niya ang baril na hawak niya. Napalingon rin siya sa akin, kaya ngumisi ako at hinagis sa mukha niya ang baril na hawak ko. Umiwas siya kaagad, pero dahil sa pag-iwas niya ay hindi niya namalayan ang atake ni Zia.

He was leaning his head on the left side, then when he face back in front Zia's butterfly kick welcome him. Kaagad siyang natumba at saka pumatok si Zia sa kanya at sunod sunod na sinuntok siya.

"Tangna mo! Talagang binaril mo pa ang asawa ko ha! Pwes! Wala ka nang mukhang ihaharap kanino."

Zia screamed as she continued punching Zach's face. Huminto na alng siya nang tapikin na siya ni Renz na sapo ang tinamaan niyang balikat. Tumigil na naman na si Zia at pinosasan si Zach.

"You asshole, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."

Dumating na naman na ang back up at mga ambulansya, pero nanatili si Renz sa tabi ko.

"Fia, are you okay?" He asked, just then I smiled and hug him.

"Hun, I---" Hindi ko naman na natapos nang himatayin ako. Everything was solved, but everything went in to a blur too.

Renz's POV

"What happened to her?" Tanong ko kaagad sa doktor nang matapos niyang e-check si Fia.

Ngumiti namana ng doktor. "She's fine Mr. De Vera, she's just tired. Your wife and child are okay."

Napatulala ako sa kanya.

"Come again?"

"Sir, I said, your wife and baby are okay."

"She's pregnant?" Tumango naman na ang doktor at iniwan na kami sa silid. Nabendahan na rin naman ang balikat ko, kaya nanatili na muna ako sa tabi ni Fia.

I can't believe what's happening, I didn't know that she's---

"Hun," Fia called out for me. Kaya inalalayan ko siya ng upo.

"Are you okay?" Tanong ko, nginitian niya naman ako.

"Did they tell you already?" She asked. My jaw dropped and my tears came rushing.

"Is it really our baby?" I asked like an idiot.

"Of course, I'm 5 weeks pregnant now. You're going to be a real father soon, Mr. De Vera."

Hindi ko na naman na napigilan at niyakap siya.

"Oh come on old man. Don't show our baby that gloomy look." She teased, but I continued crying anyway.

"Renz, there's something I must tell you first." Saad niya at bumitaw sa pagkakayakap ko. Umupo naman na ako sa gilid niya.

"What is---" Hindi ko na natapos ang tanong ko na biglang siniil niya ako ng halik. It was a short kiss but what she said next made me tear again.

"I love you. I love you, Renz. And I'm sorry for making you believe that I didn't care. I'm sorry for making it hard for you all this time."

"Fia, if you're saying this because of the baby it's---" Hindi ko na anman natapos nang halikan niya ulit ako. This time it's longer. She was holding on to my shoulders as he ended the kiss and looked straight to my eyes.

"Lawrenz De Vera. I was confused for a long time, when Zehl came I totally buried what I felt for you. But I know one thing for sure. Yes, Zehl has a place in my heart, but I have already loved you from the start. Since the day that you married me, I know something was in there that I didn't run from the fckng wedding. I know that I fell for you whenever I fckng come back to you after many years of hiding; I know that I love you when I almost fckng lost you. And I know I will choose to say I love you, because it hurts me whenever I say I don't."

"Fia," she didn't let me speak another word.

"That's why, will you, Mr. Renz De Vera, marry me again?"

"I love you too, Fia. And I will ask you instead. Will you marry me again?"

She bit her lower lip but nodded. "Yes, Hun. Yes!"

And with that I experienced the most blissful moment yet that I have experience. She whom I love, love me back. She that has the face that I can never forget has remembered me as her man. She who loves me and will continue to love me has decided to be with me forever. And she, who they called the Red Butterfly, has become mine from here on and eternity. She will be forever my best agent, my best companion, my best comrade, my best enemy, my best partner and my best lady gangster.

~The end of another journey, but the beginning of a new.~
