Start the War

Chapter 019

"Where the hell is she?!"

"Cj, please calm dow—"

Nakatingin lang ngayon si Sebastian sa nangyayari sa kaniyang harapan. He's sitting at one of the couches while remaining his silence.

So...

How long has it been since Cheska's abduction?

"How am I supposed to calm down, Sophia?!" he glared at her with his tired eyes. "How long has it been? 22 hours? Just where the hell is Alexandra hiding?! Where is that woman?!"

He sighed. Right, it's almost one day since Cheska was taken away by Andrei Sakamoto known as Alexandra's older brother.

Sa hindi malaman na rason, Alexandra is nowhere to be found. They already asked help from the elders but to no avail.

However, the Lees aren't stopping from moving. He even doubts the people in Italy are resting at the moment. They're all restless.

So does Cj right there in front of him.

"Hinding hindi mo masosolusyunan ang problema mo if you're this mess!" Sophia reprimanded with hand on her waist. "Hindi ka makapagisip ng maayos because you're too worried! You are panicking! I am asking you to calm for your own sake!"

And that made him sigh again. Those words came from the girl who's about to lose her composure.

Who wouldn't be irritated from how Cj's been acting? That's not just so him. He's a tactician. He is smart.

Ngunit ngayong nagpapanic siya, hindi niya iyon magamit gamit. He is vulnerable whenever his mind isn't in a stable state.

Well, surely everyone is like that.

But Sophia's point here is, kung hindi pa siya magaayos, wala talaga silang magagawa niyan. Cheska will never be found on his state at patuloy niyang mararanasan ang kabaliwan ng magkapatid.

Minamadali niya ang lahat na simula makuha si Cheska, hindi niya pa ipinipikit ang kaniyang mga mata. He's trying to find Alexandra's whereabouts forcefully without any proper plan.

He's that worried.

When it really comes to his sister, kapag nasa panganib sila, he's losing himself.

However, at this point, Sebastian understands Cj's side. His unkempt actions are hiding something meaningful and painful.

Frankly speaking, this is not his first time seeing Cj acting strangely. He once witnessed his breakdown a very very long time ago.

Cj has a strong promise to himself. And that is to protect his sisters at all cost with all of his might.

Siya ang panganay kaya natural lang na protektahan ang kaniyang mga nakakabatang kapatid. He will do everything with all of his strength just to keep them safe from anyone who tends to bring them harm.

Even his parents told him the same thing. Bago pa man siya kausapin tungkol sa pagiging 'kuya' niya, nagkaroon na siya ng pangako sa kaniyang sarili.

That's why when Cheska was about to leave the country, he was the one who checked every corner of the plane.

He made sure nothing is off. He made sure his sister will arrive in the Philippines totally unharmed.

But what happened was the exact opposite. The plane crashed and her sister is until now still hasn't come back to them.
