Chapter 52.5 - Revelation

Nagmadali akong bumalik ng room. Gulat na gulat pa din ako sa nakita ko. Was that even true?! Sira na ba talaga ang ulo n'ya para gawin ang ganung bagay?! Akala ko madadatnan ko sila dito? Pero ni isa kanila ay hindi pumasok?

Pumunta ako kaagad sa labas ng school since wala naman akong kotse. What hospital?! God! H-hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. I tried to call Carl, first time kong gagawin 'to. "H-hello?" halos manginig ang boses ko. Damn! Bakit ba ako kinakabahan? I hate this feeling!

"Oh Master? Bakit ka napatawag?" he said on the other line. Narinig ko pa ang mga boses ng ibang kaibigan n'ya, siguro magkakasama sila.

"I know what happened to Terrence. Umm, can you tell me where and what hospital he is?" I asked. He said 'yes' and then he gave me the address. I must go and try to reconcile things with him. While I was waiting on this waiting shed, someone suddenly grabbed my arms.

Bigla akong napalingon sa humawak sa braso ko, "Sino ka?" I asked him. Natulala ako sa kanya, pinagmamasdan ko lang s'ya. Bakit parang may nag-iba? Nakasuot s'ya ng itim na face mask at tanging mata lang ang kita sa kanya. "Black knight.." I mumbled.

"Relax. I won't do anything to you. Trust me.." he said. His voice was so familiar to me. Bakit ngayon ko lang ba napansin na may kaboses s'ya? Maybe nung time na kasama ko s'ya, my mind was pre-occupied. Ugh! Sino ba kasi 'yung kasama ko?!

"Who are you ba?" I hissed. Nakafocus lang s'ya pagdadrive. Bakit ba ako sumama sa kanya? Why I do have this feeling na kilala ko s'ya at bakit n'ya ba ako kilalang kilala? His voice wasn't so deep like the first time we met. The last time I talked to him, that's so deep and manly. But now, something went different. I really can't tell what it is, but it's different. Myghad, sumasakit ang ulo ko.

Suddenly I remembered something when my dad and this black masked guy talk over a phone call.

"What? Are you serious?" my dad said. Kita kita mo sa mata n'ya ang pagkagulat. Busy lang kami ni Tristan sa pagtingin sa kanya. "Do you mean? 'Yung pinakamalaking share sa company ay nakapangalan sa akin? Is that even true?" my dad said. "Oh Jesus! How can I thank you? Is this legit?" he added. Then the call ended. Nagtaka kami ni Tristan kung ano ba talaga ang pinag-uusapan nila. But one thing is for sure, I know that it is about my dad's company.

"What's tha, Pa?" I questioned. Ako lang talaga ang mapagtanong in terms of this. My brother was indeed quiet. Ni hindi n'ya nga ako pinapansin. "And what about that conversation? Who's that? black knight ba? Is that even a name?" I asked and he frowned.

"No. That his code name. Ayun na lang daw itawag ko sa kanya." napatango ako sinabi n'ya. 'Yung caller ni Papa and the black knight I've encountered were the same? I guess so. Diba nga sabi ni mysterious guy sa akin. He will do something about our company? Eto na ba ang sinasabi n'ya?

"He bought the biggest shares. Sa atin na nakapangalan 'yung company. Meaning tayo na ang magmamay-ari nun." Nabigla na naman ako sa naalala ko. Napatingin ako sa lalaking kasama ko ngayon.

"Show me your face black knight.." I said. Hindi na ako nandito para makipaglokohan. Nandito ako para alamin kung sino ba talaga s'ya?

"Who are you and why are you helping us?" I asked as he pulled down his black mask. "Liam?" all my hints were vanished. Nagulat ako sa nakita ko. I didn't expect that he is Liam. Napatakip ako sa bibig ko. This is very unexpected. "Liam?" that's the only word I can manage to say because I was too shocked, hindi ko alam na s'ya pala 'tong lalaking nagtatago sa itim na maskara.

"This is me.." he said.

"So.. it's you. Ikaw din ba ang tumawag sa Papa ko?" I asked. Nasa tapat na kami ng elevator. Tumingin naman s'ya sa akin at iniwas din ang tingin.
