"THANK YOU." madali kong sabi at siniko ko si Asahi na nagmamaktol.
"It's not like kayo lang ang pinunta ko dun." sabi ng nakangusong driver. He looked as if he was angry.
Ba't naman siya magagalit?
"We could've fixed the car." pagmamaktol na naman ulit ni Asahi.
Nasira kasi agad ang kotse na gamit namin. It would be a hassle kung aayusin pa namin yun so tinawagan nalang namin si Matt para magpadala ng mga aayos ng car at humingi nalang ako ng tulong kay JD.
Nagpahatid nalang kami papunta sa building namin dahil kailangan ko mag-imbestiga bago umuwi.
He doesn't know the location so magpapadrop lang kami sa convenience store malapit sa hidden building namin. Disclosed to the public ang lahat ng buildings ng detOrg.
I suddenly remembered the ring. Paano niya na afford yung singsing?
"Uhh JD." pagtawag ko.
"What is it?" he asked coldly.
Ang lamig.
"How do you have lots of money?." I asked but then I regretted asking dahil nangunot lang ang noo nito. I can see it from the front mirror.
Sungit.
"Nevermind." I whispered.
"My family's well-off." he suddenly answered.
I wonder how well-off they are.
Sumandal ako sa gilid ng sasakyan at tumanaw sa labas. It's raining kaya pumikit ako, I never liked the rain. It's so annoying.
"Are you fine there, Yela?. You can sleep if you want." napatingin ako sa harap. JD was constantly glancing towards me.
I've not slept properly these past few days dahil na rin sa paglolocate ko sa drug na lorg na yun. Ang lamig din ng sasakyan. Parang gusto kong matulog agad.
[This will be the first and last time that I will be putting another person's POV in between the story. I just wanted to add some sneak peeks of their past . Asahi's POV below.]
DI AKO MAPAKALI sa nangyayari. Now we're in another stupid car with a stupid police. It became more awkward nang nakatulog si Yela. I picked out my chewing gum from my pocket. Naiinis ko itong binuksan at nginuya.
"Is she sleeping?" tanong ni Darius.
"Tulog na tulog." I glanced over her. Natutulog siya ng mahimbing, nakanganga pa nga at mahinang humihilik. Napangiti ako ng konti.
"Good."
"Let's talk." hamon ko sakanya.
"What do you need now?" he asked annoyed.
"What's your business with Yela?" I asked him.
"It's none of your business Deks." he said as if he was teasing me.
"Don't call me by that name again, Darius." I snickered.
"Bakit? Brings back memories?" I saw how he smirked.
"As if I'd remember those times."
"We're here." he stated as he parked on the sidewalk.
