Chapter 24
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"Easy, man." Isang matangkad na anino ng lalaki ang tumayo mula sa dilim. As usual, he's wearing an Armani. It was his signature.
He is Acid Thunderwood, the famous merciless shark in the business industry. A businessman. A billionaire in his young age.
"I have been meaning to talk to you."
I gritted my teeth. "And I don't wanna talk to you."
"Oh, sure you don't, brother."
Kami lang dalawa ang nandito sa malawak na kuwartong may sampung billiard tables na tanging ilaw sa paligid ay mga pulang maliliit na chandelier. Narito kami sa private undergound club na pag-aari ng Red Note Society, an elite brotherhood na kinabibilangan namin. Our leader is my younger cousin, Panther Foresteir. We are twelve in this group.
Being in this brotherhood means everything; power, power and more power.
Being an RNS makes you god. Untouchable. Unbeatable.
Kinailangan ko ang lahat ng impluwensiya na meron ang grupo para mabawi ko ang lahat ng ari-arian ng pamilya ko at makaganti sa mga taong may atraso sa akin. At para na rin makuha ko ang iba pang bagay na gugustuhin ko.
"So how is she?" tanong niya, pertaining to Ingrid, of course.
Naglagutukan ang kamao ko. "I told you I have a plan. Bakit kailangan mo akong pangunahan?!"
"Plan?" He looked at me as if he's mocking me. "Plan na itali muna siya sa 'yo bago mo sabihin sa kanya ang totoo? Is that your plan? You really think na kung asawa ka na niya ay hindi ka na niya iiwan? There is a thing called "annulment" in case di mo alam."
"You're not supposed to meddle in my personal life."
"I know I crossed the line." Nakapamulsa siya sa suot na slacks ng lumapit sa akin. "I just did what I thought is right, brother. I thought you just need a little push para makapagtapat ka sa kanya."
"A little push?" Napamura ako. "Sinayang mo ang plano ko, I'm now back to zero!"
"I'm sorry about that, my man. Life is short, hindi mo dapat sinasayang ang pagkakataon mo dito sa mundo." He sounded bitter while saying that. At alam ko kung bakit.
Kung gaano kalamig ang kanyang mga mata, ay ganoon din ang personality niya. He was bitter. Byudo kasi.
His wife was killed by a Black Omega Society Member, an elite brotherhood na kalaban ng brotherhood na kinabibilangan namin.
It was a fair duel between Acid and Hendrix Ybarra Montenegro, a nineteen years old boy, a genius na member ng BOS. Pero walang nag-akalang biglang susulpot ang asawa ni Acid. Iyon ang ikinamatay ng babae.
"I don't want you to lose that woman," mayamaya ay sabi niya. "Benilde is back in the country. Hindi papayag ang babaeng iyon na sumaya ka."
Alam nila ang lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ko. Mula sa pagkakakulong ko sa asylum, sa paglaya ko, kay Benilde, an ex fling at ngayon kay Ingrid at kay Aki.
"I just wanted to make sure that you're sane now, Ala. Na wala kang gagawing pamimilit kay Ingrid kapag kasal na kayo at alam niya na ang totoo. And I wanna make sure na kapag balikan ka ni Benilde, hindi niya na magugulo ang buhay mo."
"Just mind your own business." I was now glaring daggers on him.
"I will not." Ngumisi siya. "Hindi ako naging parte ng samahan na ito para pabayaan kayong lahat na sirain ang mga buhay niyo at manira ng mga buhay ng mga babaeng mapagtripan niyo."
