Start the War

Chapter 013

"Please, let me in. I just need to tell them something. This is important!"

Magkasaklop ngayon ang dalawang kamay ni Cheska habang nakaharap sa dalawang guwardiya na nagbabantay sa isang gate. Gusto lang naman niyang pumasok ngunit hindi siya pinapayagan.

Why is she always in the situation where she always has to plead for their permission?

"Hindi po talaga kayo pwedeng makapasok. Makinig na lang po sana kayo. We don't want to use force especially that you're a girl!"

"Kailangan ko ngang makapasok." her voice slightly raised. She's slowly losing her patience. That made her sigh. "You will regret not letting me in! I told you, a lot of times, may kailangan akong sabihin sa mga kaibigan ni Lorenzo!"

The one sighed as well. "Sinabi ko na rin sa inyo, miss. Kailangan sila mismo ang magpapasok sa inyo sa loob. Malilintikan kami kapag hinayaan ka namin. Mawawalan kami ng trabaho!"

Magsasalita pa sana si Cheska ng biglang makadinig ng isang motor. A white BMW F 700 GS is coming to their direction.

Naningkit ang kaniyang mga mata. Hindi niya pa makilala kung sino ang may sakay noon dahil sa helmet na kaniyang suot.

Tumigil lang ang mabilis na patakbo noon ng makalapit sa gate. Nagkatinginan ang dalawa guwardiya, kinakabahan dahil sa sitwasyon na sumalubong sa lalaking sakay ng motor.

Meanwhile, Cheska just stood there, looking at the guy curiously.

Kenneth took off his helmet and gave Cheska a displeasing look—that's not a pleasing way to welcome someone.

What a very transparent and honest expression that was.

"What are you doing here? And how did you know where we are living?"

"U—uhm..." napalunok siya. "I asked the president for your address and—"

"And why are you curious about our home?" marahang tumaas ang kaniyang kilay. "Have you already forgotten the deal between us and you? Why are you looking for us now? What do you need?"

Ang daming mali sa kaniyang nadinig dahilan para mapasimangot ang kaniyang mukha.

First, she didn't ask to be there. Did she ask Lorenzo to save her anyway?

Sa pagkakalaam niya ay bigla itong sumulpot sa kaniya and now she feels like it is her responsibility to deal with the situation that in the first place, she didn't ask for.

Second, bakit para kung makapagtanong ito ay may hiniling ito sa kanila noon? Sa pagkakatanda niya, si Lorenzo pa nga ang humingi ng tulong sa kaniya.

But she just let it go.

Hindi na niya iyon pinansin dahil wala naman siya roon para makipagaway. Hindi na niya iyon gagawing big deal dahil ganoon naman ang normal na takbo ng kanilang utak.

She doesn't want to be so inconsiderate about their 'decent' way of thinking.

"I am here to tell you that Lorenzo is in the hospital."

"What?" his eyes widened.

"To make things short, a kunai with poison was stabbed on his back. He's now in stable condition—I assume as we speak."

Kenneth looked away with hi eyes are tightly closed. "Fucking Alexandra!"

"Alexandra?" may pagtataka sa kaniyang tono. When she realized what could be the meaning of it, her brow furrowed. "Did that woman do this? Was she the reason—"
