CHAPTER 61

AUTHOR

("Where the hell are you, Kian?!") Napangiwi si Kian dahil sa lakas ng sigaw ng kapatid nya mula sa earpiece nya. Alam naman nya na magagalit ito dahil lumabag sya sa utos nito na manatili sa tabi nila, but he just can't! Nasa malayong gusali sila nakapwesto at hindi makita ni Kian kung ano man ang nangyayari sa loob. He can't just do nothing while the others fought for the Gemesis War.

He will not gonna stand by. He will fight too.

He swallowed before answering, "I'm sorry, Ate."

("Don't sorry me! Sabihin mo na kung nasaan ka or i swear to god Kian, i will —") 

"I can't just stand by, Ate! I want to fight too! i want to do something too!" Mahina nyang sigaw at sumandal sa isang pader.

("You're gonna get yourself killed! Please, Kian, just tell me where you are —")

Bumuntong hininga si Kian. Ramdam na ramdam nya ang pag-aalala ng Ate nya. Wala pa'ng isang oras simula noong umalis sya sa pinagtataguan nila ni Xian ngunit maraming pwedeng mangyari sa isang oras na iyon. Right now, hindi nya din alam kung ano ang mangyayari sa kanya in the middle of a bloody war.

Pwede syang mamatay dahil sa ligaw na bala o masabugan. He don't know. He doesn't want to know.

Hinigpitan nya ang hawak nya sa caliber nya. "I know that you're worried Ate, but i will be fine. I promise."

("Kian—")

He snap. "I can't just do anything Ate! They're all fighting while i'm doing nothing! I'm not even allowed to hold your gun! Hindi na ako bata, Ate! I'm not that weakling nerdy boy anymore and i will fight for our Clan! I will fight just like them, just like you!" Sigaw nya. Natigilan sya bigla.

This is the first time that he ever shouted to his Ate. This is the first time that he snaps. Ang alam lang nya ay gusto nya ding makipaglaban. Wala syang tiwala sa kakayahan nya, ngunit may tiwala sya sa talino nya. 

They're in the middle of a war right now. And they can't afford to be weak.

Natahimik ang kabilang linya. Gusto din sana ni Kian na hindi na magsalita pa. He's ashamed that he snaps like that — and worst, to his Ate Sheilyn. But he's tense. He's not that far away from the bloody battlefield at puno ng sigawan at putukan sa buong paligid.

And he's only holding a caliber with ten bullets.

He swallowed again. "I'm gonna go inside their base. Alam ko na maraming mga Gangsters ang nakakulong sa loob at ginagawang alila. I'm gonna save them quietly and surely. Alam ko na halos lahat sa kanila ay focus sa digmaan, and i will not waste this time." Bumuntong hininga sya. "Kahit hindi ko kayang makipaglaban, Ate, basta may nailigtas ako ay okay na saakin. I understand that you're worried about me, but i can do this alright? Trust me, please."
