It was said that the Yamaguchi-gumi is the strongest and biggest yakuza clan there is. And in that big family of yakuza, there was a beautiful growing dragon. Cold and heartless. Fearless and strongest. And the youngest chosen one.
At ako yun.
I...

Nagising ako sa ring na nagmumula sa cellphone ko. I grab my phone na nasa gilid lamang ng unan ko at tinignan kung sino ang tumatawag.
Mabilis akong napabangon at tumingin sa wall clock na nakaharap sa kama ko ng marealize kung sino ang caller. Sandali, alas singko palang ng umaga. Pero bakit....
I looked outside my window and it's still dark outside.
I stared at my phone for a moment. It's still ringing and the name of the caller is flashing on the screen.
Why is he calling me in the break of dawn?
I took a deep breath before pressing the green button.
"Hello?" I greeted and I grimaced when I heard my own voice. It sounded dry and husky.
"Good morning sleepy head." Cole greeted and I instantly imagine him smiling playfully while saying that. I shook my head at the thought.
"Why are you calling me this early in the morning? " wala sa loob na tanong ko habang iniinda ko ang mabigat na pakiramdam mula sa ulo ko. This is what I get for crying myself to sleep last night. I sighed to myself.
Cole chuckled.
"This is the first time that I called you and I got this as a greeting? " ani Cole.
I bit my lower lip and slowly went back to bed while my phone is still on my ear. I'm feeling a pang of guilt when I know I'm not supposed to.
"No. I mean, it must be something important for you to call me this early." Namalayan ko nalang ang sarili ko na nagpapaliwanag kay Cole. Even though it's out of my character to explain myself.
Tumikhim si Cole sa kabilang linya.
"You're right.. It's seriously important. "
For the second time ay napabangon ako. I sat straight on the bed and waited for him to say more.
"Look outside your window. " utos nito sakin na syang dahilan para matigilan ako saglit.
With that , i hurriedly jumped out of my bed and I almost tripped before I reach the window.
Mabilis kong binuksan ang bintana at ang unang bumati sakin ay ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na may kasamang ambon.
I don't know why I did what I did. Ngunit ang una kong ginawa ay ang suyurin ng tingin ang paligid at hanapin siya sa labas sa pagitan ng dilim at hamog.
"Here. I'm right in front of you. " he said in a low and husky voice.
Lumipad ang tingin ko sa isang bulto na nasa ilalim ng street light at napasinghap nalang ako habang hindi parin makapaniwala.
There I saw him. Wearing a grey hoodie and jogger pants and white sneakers. He was leaning on the pole while holding his phone to his left ear.
"Ano'ng ginagawa mo dito? " ang tanging nasambit ko. Ang akala ko ay mamaya pa ng tanghali kami magkikita.
