Chapter 31: Can't Stop This Feeling

AUTUMN'S POV

WTF! Is this true? Talaga bang ihahatid ako ngayon ni Hawk?
I am currently here in driver's seat with Hawk beside me.I feel all my blood is rushing on my face. I can't even believe that he ask me to be his partner. Is this the reward Bulls Eye is talking about?
I want to let a sweet smile on my face but I can't. I don't want to spoil the moment of silence.
"By the way, where did you live?" biglang sabi niya habang nakatuon ang atensyon niya sa daan.
"H-huh?S-sa New Town Subdivision."Nauutal na sambit ko. Nababaguhan ako dahil hindi 'yong cold na Hawk ang nakikita ko.
"Okay." He said and smiled.
Sh*t! Did he just smile?
I blink my eyes so many times, if I am not really dreaming. At hindi nga dahil ngayon ay nakangiti parin siya. He looks very handsome and manly.
"Are you Hawk? What did you do to him?" pagkompirma ko. Lalo pa siyang natawa. At tumingin sakin.
"Of course. I'm Hawk."
"Then are you Phantom?"
"I am."
"And am I dreaming?"
"Why?" napakunot ang noo niya ngunit nakangiti parin. I want confirm if he's smile is genuine.
"Because the Phantom and Hawk I know is very cold to me.And now you are treating me this way." I said seriously. His smile suddenly faded and coldly averted his attention in driving. Ibinaling ko ang tingin ko sa harap na daanan.
Silence suddenly filled the atmosphere. I always knew Phantom was always cold to me. I joined the 12 Prodigies just because I want to get close to him to win his heart. Hindi ko alam na sa lahat ng mga Prodigies, sa akin lang siya malamig. And I don't know why? Kaya hindi talaga ako makapaniwala sa ipinapakita niya sakin ngayon.
He suddenly speak and broke the silence.
"When I see you beside Stone, I suddenly hate myself for not realizing your worth."
That feeling that your heart skips a beat and you suddenly feel nervous. 'Yan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. He sounds so sincere and then he looks at me.
"I like you."
I froze. Hindi ako nakapagsalita. Ibinaling niya ulit ang atensyon niya sa daan. Ngunit ng mahismasmasan ako. Ay gusto kong umiyak dahil sawakas nakuha ko na ang atensyon niya.Hindi ko mapigilan ang saril kong paghampasin siya.
"Hey! It's hard to drive.."
"YOU JERK!!BWISIT KA!! MAY 'NOT REALIZING YOUR WORTH KAPANG NALALAMAN!!'" galit na saad ko. It took me a hard time. I even do some bad things just to win him. But then I can't help my tears from falling. Ramdam kong inihinto niya ang sasakyan. Hindi na ako lumingon sa kanya at lumingon sakin.

"Alam mo bang ginawa ko lahat magustuhan mo lang ako. I let Bulls Eye control me and act as my twin sister, like I am innocent, and the hardest part is act like I love that Stone."
I paused, I gathered all the courage to stop myself from crying. Ayaw ko munang magmukhang mahina at wala na ako dapat pang itago.
"Ang planong pagbuwagin si Anaconda kay Stone ay nagawa niya na. Bulls Eye's next plan is to kill Stone by using the rule. Hindi manganganib ang buhay ni Stone dahil alam kung ako ang mahal niya bilang si Chill.He is obsess of killing Stone. Kaya sumugal siya, he is waiting for Anaconda to fall for that guy which sounds so impossible.Sumugal din ako katulad ng pagsugal ni Bulls Eye.Do you know why I am became part of that plan?Because I am obsess of getting your attention. "habang sinabi ko mga salitang ito ay narealized kong nagiging tanga ang isang tao sa pag-ibig. I look at his eyes but I can't read his emotion.
"Wag mo na akong ihatid baba na 'ko." I was about to open the door, someone caught our attention. A very familiar figure, na nakasakay sa isang motor na halos paliparin na ang takbo nito sa bilis.
"It's Anaconda." he said almost a whisper. He suddenly started the engine and followed her.I suddenly changes my mind because I feel that Anaconda is in a hurry.
Hindi lagpas sa limang minuto ay nakita naming tumigil si Anaconda at bumaba.Ng makalapit na ang sasakyan ay nakita kong may nakahandusay na lalaki sa daan at nilapitan ito ni Anaconda.Dali-daling bumaba si Hawk at lumapit dito. At sumunod narin ako.
"Queen! Anong nangyari?" Hawk said in curiosity. Biglang tumayo si Anaconda. Hindi niya kami tiningnan. At naglakad papunta sa motor niya. She suddenly looks at us. At doon ko nakita ang sobrang galit sa mga mata niya. I suddenly feel out of breath. Dahil ang mga tinging iyon ay alam na alam ko.
"Take care of him."
Malamig na saad nito at ipinaharurot na ang motor niya.
"Fuck! It's Stone."
Rinig kong napamura si Hawk. Kahit ako ay nawala bigla ang takot ko dahil nakita ko si Stone na duguan at walang malay. Dali-dali ko namang tinulungan si Hawk.
Naawa ako sa lagay nito ngayon. I have the urged to follow Anaconda and watch those who are responsible for this be beaten to death.
NOSIDE'S POV
"Easy one million pesos." Nakangiting sabi ng kaibigan kong si Malik. Ngumisi naman ako habang nakatingin sa rear view. Ako lang naman ang nagdridrive.
