[72] THE PLEDGE

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Sir, ipagpaumanhin niyo po pero hindi namin mahanap sa buong vicinity si Ma'am Gail."

Napasapo sa batok si Mr. Rivera sa sinabi ng head ng security na si John pagkapasok nito sa isang pribadong silid ng hotel. Trinity tried to calm down her husband but the latter has already gone raging mad.

"I-check niyo ang CCTV footages sa control room! Sa dami niyo, natakasan pa kayo ng anak--- uh!" Pabagsak na umupo ang ginoo sa sofa saka nito sinapo ang kaliwang dibdib. Nagsisimula na naman itong manikip kaya huminga siya ng malalim. 

"Are you okay, Mirko?" Trinity asked his husband with full concern. Namumutla na naman ito kaya pinigilan niya ang sarili niyang 'wag magpanic. "Drink this. 'Wag mo nang problemahin si Crystal. Malaki na siya. Kaya niya na ang sarili niya."

He released another deep breath before he spoke. "J...just look for her," he said, ignoring his wife.

It's already 11 in the evening and everyone was still busy on the program. Kung hindi lang sila in-inform ni Fifth na nawawala ang anak nila ay hindi nila mapapansin dahil sa pagkaabala nila sa salo-salo.

Mag-iisang oras nang nawawala ang anak nila kaya naman hindi na nila mapigilan ang sarili sa pag-aalala. Besides, he saw Kurt at the party. As much as he wanted to tell the guards to drag him away, he just can't. Hindi siya ang may hawak dito, kundi ang ka-merge nilang kompanya na King's Corp.

He took another few deep breaths as he sipped on the bottled water. Trinity caressed his back and continued to calm him down.

"Ang tigas talaga ng ulo ng batang 'yan. Bakit hindi niya tayo maintindihan?" He muttered in gritted teeth.

His wife sighed deeply as she sat next to him on the sofa. "Wala na bang ibang paraan, Mirko? Naaawa na ako kay Crystal. Hayaan nalang natin sila ni Kurt na sumaya."

He averted his eyes to her. "And now what? Hahayaan niyo akong makulong?!" He shook his head and took another gulp. "I know it's my fault. Pinagsisisihan ko naman 'yon. At alam kong maiintindihan din ako ni Crystal gaya ni Louis pagdating ng panahon."

Nanatiling nakatitig lamang si Trinity sa asawa. Alam niya ang puno't dulo ng lahat kung bakit sila namomroblema ng ganito. She's actually tired from all this dilemma that's why she chose not to interfere anymore. 

"I didn't steal anyone's money," Mirko suddenly blurted out and then buried his face on both his hands. "I swear, I did not."

Sa totoo lang, naaawa na siya sa kanyang asawa. He was accused of stealing a large share of Choi's company when the truth is he really did not. Hindi niya alam kung paanong nangyari't sa isang pirma lang niya ay naipasa sa kanya ang lahat ng kalokohan ng isang empleyado doon. He tried to investigate who it was but they found out eventually that this man behind this scam was already dead.

"I know... Calm down, Mirko. Baka mapasama ka pa nyan."

"Mapapasama talaga ako kapag hindi nila mababalik sa akin si Crystal! Dammit!"

Napatigil sila nang may kumatok sa pinto. Bumukas ito at pumasok si Fifth na bakas sa mukha ang pagkaseryoso. Mabilis na tumayo ang ginoo at nilapitan siya.

"Anong balita?" he asked eagerly.

Fifth furrowed his brows into a straight line and shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry but I can't find her."

Napatadyak ang ginoo sa center table kaya naman pinakalma siyang muli ng asawa.

"She might have come with that i-diot of that man!"
