Timothy Riley
Death Alley.
It is where gangsters from different areas of the country, where reunited. It is not just a simple place where they drink and socialized.
It is a place where fights and death can be seen— as the name says it all. They have this stuff where there aiming for a power. Where, whenever who is in the top, can be powerful.
Chaos. Is what you can describe the place.
And why the hell i know these things?
"Timmy, mukhang nasasanay kana yatang pumunta sa akin?"
He said in a smirk. Kung hindi ko lang talaga sya kailangan para pumunta roon, i will never go to him.
"Shut it Atticus. Do you have a fight?"
Yeah, my ex buddy. We used to be best pals, but he ruined everything and pretended nothing happen.
He is a gangster—sort of. He has this fight once a month—i think. As i have said they have this kind of fights, where there aiming to be on top. I think Atticus and his gang are somewhere in the fifth place. I don't know exactly, basta ang alam ko. Ang hilig nito sa basag ulo.
We are totally opposite during our days. I am an nerd freak and a totally shy boy, and he? Sobra pa sa bagyo ang kayabangan. But he never bully me, he wanted to build friendship with me. We were eight, at hindi kami mapaghiwalay. Then it came Raizel and the rest of the guys in the picture.
Our circle of friends are intangible, until he ruined all of it.
"Alam mo na wi-wirdohan ako sayo. You used to keep distance sa mga gulo. And now ikaw na yata ang lumalapit sa kanila"
My wife's there dumbass!
"I just wanted to watch"
"Hahaha, you wanted to watch me fight? Oh c'mon Timmy, first the underground auction. And now an underground fight? Sabihin mo nga, are you building a gang?"
Tangna! I'm completely wasting my time in here, Sibyl might be somewhere in there, and God know what, she might be in danger. She is completely alone.
"Just take me in there, will you?"
Patience Timothy.
"Okay let's ride my baby"
When he said baby he mean, his car. Papunta kami ngayon sa isang Luxury car,as expected from him. We are now currently riding in his white with a black stripe Lamborghini. Well, Sibly's cars are way more cooler than him.
As our journey starts he keeps on bugging me with all stupid questions. I just shrugged it off, ayoko nang patulan pa ang mga sinasabi nya.
I wanted to call Rai or even Kurenai, but By is mad with me. Kung ano man ang gagawin nya sa akin, the let it be. I know those punches are not enough. I can see it in her eyes.
"Hey man"
Atticus talks someone on the phone, iginala ko ang tingin sa lugar. And some how parang malapit na kami.
"What ?! Seryoso kaba Jin? But how?"
Jin? Rings a bell, kasama nya to sa gang. At base sa usapan nila mukhang may nangyayari.
Atticus ended the conversation and accelerated the car to make it faster.
"Slower dude, mamatay tayo"
"No way man! Somebody is beating the number 1 gang. Hinding hindi ko palalampasin na mapanuod to!"
He said with an excitement on his voice.
Finally we arrived at our destination. The place is very crowded. Para itong isang village sa laki. And in all fairness to this place, mayroong nakatayong mga clubs. Food stalls and what knots.
In this place so big, where do can i find Sibyl?
I think she might be inside in one of this clubs, at nag papalamig ng ulo. I hope.
"C'mon Timmy, you wanted to see a fight right? Lets watch this one"
I don't want to, Siby is my priority right now. She is alone, i wanted to say sorry. I was about to turn my back when i heard a shouting voice.
"You useless pathetic human!"
Agad akong nakipag siksikan sa mga tao. Habang ako ay papalapit, i've been hearing cry of despair. Mga lalaking naka bulagta ang naabutan ko, lahat sila ay puno nang dugo ang mukha at namimilipit sa sakit. As I've carefully watched them, they have a common tattoo on their hands, it's a half moon. And i recognized it, it's the same tattoo of the man that i shot during our car chase earlier.
"Sinabi ko na sayo hindi ko sya kilala!"
A tall man with a bulky built shouted, naka higa ito sa lupa. Katulad sa mga lalaking nakabulagta ang hitsura nya.
"Die!"
I run as fast as i could, i don't want a life will shed because of me.
"I'm here, I'm sorry."
I hugged her as tight as i could, i just keep on telling her i am here. God knows much i wanted to be like this with her always.
"I'm here. Stop this, I'm here"
My words aren't soothing at all, true to my word i will always be here with her.
Dahan dahan kung niluwagan ang pagkakahawak ko sa kanya. She didn't do anything instead umalis lamang ito ng tahimik. Sinundan ko sya hanggang sa makarating kami kung saan naroroon ang kanyang motor.
"By, please talk to me. Kung gusto mo akong suntukin cge! murahin mo ako, tatanggapin ko lahat wag lang ganito"
I am begging, ayoko nito. Her face is stoic, mas gusto ko pang makita ang Sibyl na palaging naka kunot ang noo. At palaging naiinis sa akin.
"Shout at me, gulpihin mo ako! I —"
Dammit! It hurts! I tasted rust in my mouth, napatumba ako sa lakas ng impact ng suntok nya.
"You God Damn moron!"
She punch me again in the cheek, atleast pantay na ang pasa sa mukha ko.
"How could you not tell me, that those bastard chased you! You didn't even call me you fucking mongrel!"
"I-I don't want you to worry"
"And you chose not to tell me! Paano nalang kung hindi ko naisipang lagyan ng baril ang kotse mo? What would you do?!"
"It's okay, w-wag lang ikaw ang masaktan. I am a burden to you now By, gusto ko lang na maging okay ka. Forgive me for not telling you, forgive me for being weak. "
Urgh! I swear, maaga talaga akong mamatay. But no, i need to accept this kulang pa to'. Kwenelyohan nya ako at ibinalibag sa lupa, damn it ang sakit na nang katawan ko.
Unti unti nang nanlalabo ang mata ko, By is just standing infront of me. Anytime soon i can feel it, nawawalan na ako ng malay. I tried to sit, at nagawa ko. I looked at my wife, i wanna shout in happiness kase nag aalala pala sya saakin. Yun nga lang ganito ang inabot ko, i deserve this anyway. She is my wife and yet i choose to hide a secret from her. I used to tell her that we're gonna work together as one, and yet naglihim pa ako.
Alam ko na ang pag aalala nya sa akin ay dahil lang sa ako sa asawa nya. Ah, i wished someday she will feel worried again and by that time there wil be love on it. I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath i want to gain back may strength again.
Hmmm, i can feel her presence beside me. I smell something sweet. Strawberries. I really love that scent of hers.
"You freaking monkey, you are now my weakness"
