STILL ON ANDREW'S POV

.... I feel like I'm being really slow here... pero wala na talaga akong ma gets sa mga nangyayari tapos tong dalawang to nag-uusap pa between the lines at ginagawa akong manghuhula! Can't they just say who's who?!

"...Ikukwento ko pagkatapos nito..." ...Why do I have to be the last one to know everything?

"......."

sfx: Gun shot

"Bullsh*t one week..." pagbaril na ni Andre sa binti nung isa na namimilipit na sa sakit... "Pagnahanap ko ang baboy na yun... sisiguraduhin ko ililitsyon ko sya..."

"...yeah?" paghawak naman ni Fyn sa Rad com nya "...I'm on the way...." Solid cold ang boses ni Fyn nung sabihin nya yun... mukhang alam ko na kung tungkol saan ang tawag.

"Dark--"

"Let Andre go..." seryosong sabi ko dahil mas makakabuti yun "Please"

"Oh interesting!! Then lets do that!" may malademonyong ngisi na si Andre... "If you fail getting my son and wife... you both will lose your life, fair trade fair trade I like that" May mapagbirong tono pa si Andre pero nang tumingin ito uli samin may panlilisik na ang mata nito "Get my Son and wife back.... Pandora.... and I will let that man experience the most painfull moment of his life..."

".... You'll lose your life first if you threaten me again..." napahinga nalang ako ng malalim... kanina pa sila hindi nakikinig sa mga sinasabi ko nung dumating kami sa hideout na to at kanina pa sila nagpapalitan ng banta.

"...then you'll lose your LIFE" ... napakuyon ako ng kamao... "In this world... there are no brothers, family nor lover when face to face on war.... You know that well..." makahulugang sabi ni Andre na agad kong nakuha.

"....."

I am a acquaintance not a friend, brother or a family in the war... that means Andre will surely aim for me first as I am Fyn's weakness. I am not sure to say weakness because I know if I were to pass away... she'll put this world into a blood bath worse than before and never been seen and heard.

"Go ahead..." ... right hindi---

"Wha--" pareho kami ng naging reaksyon ni Andre sa sinabi ni Fyn.

"Bakit nagulat ka... Andre?"....those cold stares... "Life's a gamble... I know that better than anyone. But I'll tell you... choose wisely of whom you want to make an enemy of. You don't me well enough. You might want to stop threatening me while I'm being patient enough with your non-sense."

"Tch...." The person I love.... is the person I feared most....

"... I don't bargain, Andre... I don't except demands... I make demands, I rule people. So you better make good choice of words while I'm still being nice."...

"......" she's that--

"Yeah that's right Andrew.... She's the same girl that time..." napatingin ako kay Andre, hindi na maipinta ang mukha nya... this is the second time I saw that kind of expression on him... "The angel of death...."
