WITHERING LOVE

Chapter 33

POV
"Jacinto? Ano na balita?"
Sabi ni Mr. Hernandez
"We're working on it sir. Di pa po namin nahahanap yung stocks"

"Bilis bilisan niyo!" Inis na sabi ni Mr. Hernandez
"Ginagawa naman po namin ang lahat sir"
Tumingin lang kay Jacinto si Mr. Hernandez

"Make sure this plan you have is going to work, I wont let you handle things anymore. Nagkakaintindihan ba tayo?"
"Opo sir"

Tinuloy na ni Jacinto yung mga plano niya para mahanap yung stocks ni Mr. Gonzales
To think about it, this is a bigger stock. Its also because of the Santiago Enterprise.

Jacinto informed one of his men again to also search the building of the of the Santiago's
Hernandez has mens working for both companies
Para may mga balita siya sa mga pangyayari

"Siguraduhin niyong walang makaka kita sa inyo" Jacinto said while on the phone

MR. GONZALES' POV
I arranged a meeting again
Para lang ma updatae about sa investigation of the incident

The only thing that the investigators has found is yung sasakyan na ginamit nila
They are still trying to locate that car

Wala silang traces na iniwan
We are all in the meeting room
All employees sat down and I stood in the middle

"Did any one find something?"
Tahimik lang ang meeting room
Nag titinginan sa isa't-isa

"Its okay, don't worry about it kung wala kayong nahanap"
I took a deep breath

"Plate number lang ang nahanap namin. The police had located it, at nasa junk shop na daw yung sasakyan. They tried to ask kung sino ang nagdala niyan pero di nag salita yung tao. Mukang binayaran yata siya nang malaking amount to not talk about it"

I sigh

"We will get kung sino man ang may gawa nito. And I hope we get them soon"
I dismissed the meeting and went back to my office

There are a lot of things running in my head
Someone knocked on my door interrupting my thoughts
"Yes, come in"

Bumukas yung pinto and I saw Hernandez there
"Yes, may I help you?"
Tanong ko

"Tanong ko lang sir kung kailan niyo gusto simulan yung training nang mga bata"
I sigh, medyo na stress na ako
"Kung kailan mo gusto, should be fine" I told him

"Do you want anything sir?" Tanong siya ulit
"No, I think I'm fine. I'll go home and take a rest" I smiled at him
Tumayo na ako at nag bilin sa kanya

"Ikaw na muna bahala dito" I tap Hernandez on the shoulders
Tumango lang siya
Lumabas na ko nang opesina ko
_______________________________

Nakarating na ko nang bahay
When I came in
Parang may mabango akong naamoy

Pumunta agad ako sa kusina
And I saw my wife there cooking something

"Wow bango naman niyan"
Medyo nagulat siya

"Oh aga mo ata umuwi ah?" Tanong niya
"Gusto lang kasi mag pahinga" Sagot ko

"Okay ka lang ba?" Tanong niya ulit
I sat down on the stool
"Well, I'm just stress. Dahil sa insidenting nangyari"

She sighed and hugged me
"Mahahanap din natin sila. Kung sino man sila pag babayarin natin sila"

Pumunta na ko ng kwarto and rested
While my wife still cooks

POV
Hernandez was left at the office alone after Mr. Gonzales left
He went straight to his computer
May sinaksak siyang USB para ma hack niya yung password at mabuksan yung computer

He succeeded, he opened it
Tinignan niya lahat nang files sa computer niya
Hinalungkat niya lahat nang andun

He slammed the table
Galit siya
Dahil wala din doon ang mga hinahanap niya

"Dapat andito lang yun eh" sabi niya sa sarili
"Maybe it's in that safe" he was looking at it
He got his phone at tinawagan si Jacinto

"Kapag hinalungkat nito ang office ni Gonzales, buksan niyo yung safe
May kutob akong nandun yung papers"

Binaba niya din agad yung phone

Kinuha niya na yung USB at pinatay yung computer
He called someone again
To make sure that the CCTV camera footage from that day is deleted

Nag memeeting sina Hernandez, Jacinto at iba pa nilang mga tauhan sa kanyang opisina
"So, kailan niyo balak isagawa ang plano?"
Tanong ni Hernandez

"Gumagawa na po kami nang blueprint sir"
Biglang tumingin nang masama si Hernandez kay Jacinto

"ANO?! GUMAGAWA PA LANG KAYO NG BLUEPRINT?!"
Sigaw ni Hernandez

They Flinched at his loud voice echoing the room
"AKALA KO PA NAMAN TAPOS NA KAYO JAN?!"

"Malapit naman na po sir matapos"
Nanliit yung boses ni Jacinto
"Bilis-bilisan niyo! I cant wait to take down their companies. Ive been waiting for too long"
Sabi ni Hernandez

"Yes sir, isasagawa na po namin ang plano as soon as we are done with everything"
Kalmadong sagot ni Jacinto

"Siguraduhin niyo lang, kundi malilintikan kayong lahat saken"
Lumabas na yung mga tauhan ni Hernandez at si Jacinto na lang ang naiwan sa loob

"Pfftt, akala mo kung sino, mag nanakaw lang naman" sabi nang isang lalaki
"Sinabi mo pa, kung di lang malaki binabayad neto sinumbong ko na tong kupal na to kay Mr. Gonzales"
Sabi naman nang kasamahan niya

Tumango lang silang lahat
"Tara na nga"
Alok nung isa
Sumakay na sila sa kanilang van at umalis na

"Kailan mo tatapusin yang blueprint na sinasabi mo?"
Tanong ni Hernandez

"Sir bukas na bukas po sir"
Sagot naman ni Jacinto

"'Bukas?" Tanong ulit ni Hernandez at mukang galit na siya

Jacinto was quiet for a second
"Mamaya po sir tatapusin ko na po kaagad"

Di siya makatingin kay Hernandez
Tumango lang siya at pinalabas na si Jacinto sa office niya

Jacinto sighed and went to his office to finish the plans that they have
"All of these will pay off"
Bulong niya sa sarili niya

He pulled an all-nighter just to finish his tasks
Empty coffee cups are piled on his desk

He finally finishes it at by that time it was already morning
He will do anything just to please Hernandez

Jacinto was in the lobby of the building on his way home
Nag kasalubong sila ni Hernandez
"Oh, uuwi ka pa lang ba?"
Tanong ni Hernandez

"Yes sir" yun lang ang sagot ni Jacinto
Tumango si Hernandez "okay, I'll see you later"
They went on their own way
