Gunshot 10
FINAL SHOT
"Tangina naman Boss! Ano ganyan nalang tayo?!" sigaw ni Stark ngunit isang sulyap lang ang binigay ni Kodj saknya na lalo lang niton ikina asar.
Inis na ginulo nito ang buhok, huminga sya ng malalim bago napag desisyunan na iwan ito, it has been three months since she died. Pero heto at wala parin sa katinuan ang lalaking kaharap nya, kung noon ay tahimik ito ngayon lalong lumala ang lalaki, pumupunta sa University para mangulo, umaway, manakit, pumatay.
Tangina hindi na alam ni Stark ang gagawin, hindi niya mapigilan ang lalaki dahil mismomg sya ay takot ditto, ibang iba na ang lalaking kinakatakutan ng lahat, putcha nakakabakla pero totoo, lalong lumala ang ugali nito, noon naman ay nakakusap mo pa ito ngayon kung hindi galit ay hindi bubuka ang bibig.
Naalala pa nya, ang mukhang yan. Nakaluhod sa damuhan habang ang bahay nito ay umaapoy, mismong sya ay napatigil sa pagtakbo. Unang pumasok sa isip nya ay ang kapatid ni Kodj, ngunit sa mukha ni kodj na iyon ay alam na nya, sumisigaw ito ng walang tigil. Hagang sa lumabas ang mga bumbero...
May dalang bangkay.
Parang tanga noon na mismong sya ay hindi alam ang gagwin, nakatingin lang sa bangkay na sunog, hindi makilala at patay. Parang nagging blanko ang lahat, nagdilim ang paligid at nag zoom in ang mata nya sa bangkay ng babae. Ang mukha ni Kodj ang tinignan ulit nya, bakas sa mukha nito ang pagka tigalgal.
Unti unti syang lumapit sa kinatatayuan noon ni Kodj hangang sa sumigaw ito ng napakalakas. "DAMN YOU X! FUCK YOU!IM GOING TO KILL YOU BASTARD!" hindi makapaniwalang tinitigan nya ang lalaking puno na poot habang tumakbo papunta sa katawan ng kapatid. Humagulgol ito. And all he can do that time is to avoid seeing him like that.
Dahil ang gusto nya ay hindi Makita ang lalaking matatag na ngayon ay hindi maktayo. Ayaw nyang Makita. Ang pinuno ay pinuno Kaylan man ay hindi ito nagpapakita ng kahinaan.

It was my fault, my fucking fault.
"Hey babe, you okay there? I guess you are. But hell, im not okay Van, tangina...."
I pressed my eyes tightly, to avoid my tears from falling. "Ang gago lang kasi, hangang ngayon hindi parin kita maipaghiganti, Tangna, a-ang sama ko na ba?" para akong tanga na kumakausap sa puntod nya. But hell! I don't care.
"Satan can burn me all he want, but I won't give a damn Van, I am already experiencing something that even satan and his hell will be embarrassed" I smiled, but it not an ordinary smile, it was empty, it was hallow.
"Fucking unfair eh?you fucking left me without me, telling you how much I love you, putcha, ma m-mi-miss ko yung babaeng sasalubong sakin sa bahay Van, tangina, wala na akong sasawayin, wala na akong pupuntahan sa skwela para sunduin ka, para pumunta sa guidance at I report sakin lahat ng kalokohan mo, I-iniwan m-mo ako" I fucking look like gay but shit. I broke down.
"Baby, ganoon na ba kadaling iwan ako?" but what I asked suddenly hit me, I laughed.
"Tss, ako nga pala ang nangiwan Van, A-ako kasi ang may kasalanan"
I slowly shut my eyes. Feeling the cold breeze that brush my face, it was peaceful so fucking peaceful that I even Thought it doesn't suit me. Hindi bagay para sa taong kagaya ko na, M-mamamatay tao. Hindi ko namalayan unti unting pumapatak ang luha ko habang nakpikit.
"Don't you hate me baby? I fucking promise to k-keep you safe, I fucking told you that you are my queen and I am your knight, pero fuck, s-sa huli hindi kita .. N-naprotektahan.."
You became my home Van, you become my comforter, and I even swear that I will never leave you didn't I? but what the hell just happened? I become the person you never wanted to be, I promise to be your leading man but heck in the end I become a useless audience. I fucking promised a lot of thing baby, but look. I'm a mess.
In the middle of thinking something, my phone vibrated,
Wala akong planong sagutin ito ngunit walang tigil ang pangungulit ng kung sino mang tao na tumatawag, without looking at it I answered the call.
"I found him" malamig na turan ni Kurt. Para naman akong yelo na nanigas sa kinahihigaan, I couldn't think right, ngunit ilang sandali lamang ay bumangon ako at mabilis na pumunta sa kotse. "Let's meet, HQ" and all he said was "Sure" before I left her again. "I love you Van" I wishpered.
Muntik na akong matawa dahil sa ginagawa kong ito siguradong nangagalaiti na iyon sag alit, sumisigaw sakin habang naglalabasan ang ugat sa leeg. But damn it. I'm doing this for her because this is all I can do.
"Soon baby,soon makakasama din kita."
That was not a promised, because when he arrived at the headquarters he called all the reapers and bosses,plus his colleague to join the group. He swear those words and he meant it.
That day, he wasn't wrong to his conclusion... he wasn't wrong anymore, he did. It happen. He saw her. And for the last time, he finished what they started, he won. That day? He become the person they never imagine, the knight transformed in an untamed beast. The knight transform into a king the knight transform into e person you must fear. That night, the knight transformed into A living Satan. Now that everything was settled a part of him breath.
Finally......
Nagkasama sila
Fin.
