CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Anatomy
Early in the morning, Elijah clamped our doors and command us to pack our bag because he need to go and get Klare. Nalaman niya kasing kasama ang mga Cos sa bakasyon nila.
We move like ninjas. Lahat na yata ng pwede naming dalhin ay nailagay namin saming backpack. Nataranta pa kami kung paano namin pagkakasyahin ang sari sarili namin sa trailblazer ni Elijah.
Sa driver seat si Elijah, Sa front seat ay si Rafael at Erin. Sumama nga rin pala si Spike at Maxwell at pagkadating daw agad namin ay pipick up-in nila ang sasakyan nila para hindi kami mahirapan.
Sa likod ay nagkasya kaming natira. Kami nila Chanel, Azrael, Josiah, Maxwell at Spike.
Ang eight-hour trip ay ginawa lang yata ni Elijah na limang oras. Nag stop over kami para sa lunch at sakto naman na tumawag si Pierre. Sa kaba ko ay hindi ko masagot agad dahil sa panginginig ng kamay ko.
"Hey." Bati niya.
"H-Hey." My voice suddenly shake.
"Is there a problem?" Bakas sa tono niya ang pag-aalala.
"Where are you now?" I changed the topic.
"We stopped for lunch. You?" He asked.
"We stopped for lunch, too." I chortled.
"Where are you?" His into his rigid voice ow.
"We are currently heading to Surigao. Elijah's gonna make it up to Klare." Sumeryoso na rin ako.
"What? I won't let that asshole near my sister." Matalim na sabi niya.
I rolled my eyes. "Let them be, okay? You should calm. May rason si Elijah. Let Klare hear them out."
"After what he did? No way in hell."
"Stop your delusion. You're not the one who has say on this. It has to be your sister." Sagot ko. Naka order na sila Erin sa fastfood chain na 'to at nakita ko na sila na nagsisimulang kumain.
"Kaya nga! It's my sister we're talking about. Your damn cousin hurted her!" I sighed in frustration.
"Just let them talk! What the hell is your problem with that?" Tumaas rin ang boses ko.
"Clau? The food is ready. Let's eat!" Nilingon ko si Spike at sinenyasan na susunod na ako kaya pumasok na rin siya sa loob.
"Is that Vasquez? Sinong kasama n'yo dyan?" Sunod sunod niyang tanong.
"Ako, Rafael, Elijah, Erin, Chanel, Josiah, Azrael, Maxwell and uh, Spike."
"Why are near with him?"
"What? Sumama sila, anong magagawa ko?"
"Just stay away from him."
"How can I do that? Nasa iisang sasakyan lang kami."
"Just... find a way! Don't talk to him."
"Huh? You're ordering me too much, Pierre." Matalim kong sabi.
"What? No! I'm just... fuck. I'm sorry. Just... don't talk to him."
"You don't tell me what to do. I'm sick of that!" Pinatay ko 'yon at pumasok na rin para kumain.
Hindi ako nagrereklamo sa pagiging ganoon niya. Nadala lang siguro ako from my thoughts na kasama niya yung Princess Co na 'yon.
Nang makita namin sila Klare sa Hotel Tavern kung saan din kami kumain nang makarating kami sa Surigao ay nagkagulo dahil sa pagsugod ni Elijah kina Klare at sa pagsasagutan nila.
