Soundtrack: Look After You by The Fray
If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forget the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Her POV
"Kaelan, we need to go back now. "
Natigil sa paglalaro si Kaelan nang dumating ang isa sa mga nakakatanda niyang kapatid. Trione, ang ampon ng mga Trivago. Siya ang palaging naghahatid dito kay Kaelan sa park para makapaglaro. Bakit ako nandito? Alexandria always drags me here. Ang parkeng ito ay halos nasa gitna ng aming mga bahay. At sa kabilang dako naman mula rito ay ang ampunan kung saan galing si Diana, ang kalaro ni Kaelan. Ngumiti sa akin si Trione habang tumango lamang ako sa kanya.
Kumunot ang noo ng nakababatang Trivago dahil sa biglaang pagdating ng kanyang kapatid.
"Why brother? Did anything happen?"
Natawag noon ang atensyon ng naglalarong sina Alexandria at Diana. Tumakbo ang bata mula sa ampunan papunta kay Trione at yumakap rito. Magkakilala silang dalawa dahil sa pareho silang sa ampunan nanggaling.
"What's wrong Trione?" tanong nito habang hinihila ang laylayan ng damit ni Trione. Dahil sa mas matanda ang lalake ay abot beywang niya lamang ang sampung taong gulang na si Diana.
"Did anything happen to kuya Rai?" Alexandria asked with a worried face. Kuya Rai? Ah, the eldest Trivago. Alexandria told me about him. Raijin Trivago. He is the famous prodigy and the wealth of the Trivagos. But I never saw him. Mayhem and Carlos must have been strict parents.
Ang alam ko ay parehong sundalo ang ama at ina ni Kaelan. They are heroes of this country, they were born to protect. They are shield to bullets that's why their lives are at stake. Kaya siguro ganoon na lamang ang pag aalala ni Kaelan.
Umiling naman ang lalake bago nagsalita.
"No, everything's fine. You are asked to go home, Kaelan. The Colonel has arrived."
Kaelan froze. Para siyang nabuhasan ng malamig na tubig nang malaman kung sino ang dumating. Colonel Octavius Cole Trivago. I know him. He is the well known colonel and a genius tactician. He is feared by his men for he is a strict leader. The same goes to his family. He is Kaelan's nightmare.
***
Ilang taon rin ang nakalipas at ang dating colonel ay isa nang heneral. Pangalawa sa may pinakamataas na posisyon. Now, what does a servant of the country have to do with the monster of the century? Associating Sebastiano Genpou with Octvius Cole Trivago is dangerous, too dangerous.
"Perrie Holstein." pagbati nito sa dati kong pangalan.
"I believe that the lady you are referring to is long gone, General." I stared at the old man, who is far away from being shocked. He knows. Binigyan ko ng isang makahulugang tingin ang naguguluhan kong tagabantay. Agad naman niyang naintindihan ang ibig kong sabihin.
"Lady Morfell, shall we?" pag-aaya nito sa babae. Alexandria looked at me and then to the old man. Mukhang wala rin siyang alam dahil nakakunot ang noo niya sa akin. I just gave her my cold stare, obliging her to follow my Vanguard's command. She just rolled her eyes knowing that she cannot defy my orders.
"We'll head to the lobby, my lady." I just nodded at him before fixing my eyes to the old man. Pagkagulat? Wala noon sa mukha niya. Takot? Wala. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nararamdaman niya. Sa kanya yata namana ni Raijin ang ganitong pag uugali. But, I have already penetrated Raijin's walls so breaking the General's would be easy now.
