Chapter 21: Behind the Mask

Chapter XXI: Behind the Mask

Bella's POV

"And that is how I ended up here. We figured that it is not safe for me to go home anymore since the organization is still looking for me so I decided to stay here with Yula instead."

Saglit kaming natahimik lahat sa loob. Masyadong mabigat ang kinuwento ni ate at halos di ko mapigilan ang mga luhang nangingilid sa mga mata ko habang nakikinig sa kwento nya.

Tiningnan ko lang si ate sa mata matapos yun. She must be suffering too much from the memory. Hindi ko inaasahang ganun pala kahirap ang pinagdaanan nya. I was a fool for hating her.

Ang totoo naman talaga ay wala syang kasalanan sa lahat ng ito. It was the goddamn organization who doesn't know how to leave us alone.

"Anong nangyari sa taong tumulong sayo? Nakaligtas ba sya? "

"Hindi ko alam. Sinubukan namin syang balikan at hanapin pero nabigo kami. Hindi ko na rin matandaan pa ang lugar kung saan nila ako nilagay. " Parang naluluha si ate habang binabanggit nya yun.

Naguiguillty siguro sya sa nangyari at bakit nya sya iniwan. Kahit ako sa sitwasyon nya ganoon din ang mararamdaman ko.

"Pero nakilala mo ba kung sino sya? "

"Narinig ko lang ang pangalan nya nang sumigaw ang isa sa mga humahabol sa amin ng Dr. Luvius. Siguro yun ang pangalan nya ngunit wala na kaming alam maliban doon. Hinanap namin ang pangalang Luvius kung saan-saan baka may tumugma sa kanya ngunit hindi din kami nagtagumpay. "

"How about the scribbled letter that I received? Was it really from you? " I changed the topic to ease her uncomfortable feeling.

"Yes but it was Willson who made it possible to send it to you, though. " I'm still not use to them calling sir Tyrron, Willson. Parang ang bilis lang ng lahat. Parang kanina lang wala akong kaide-ideya sa mga nangyayari at ngayon ay parang bomba nilang pinasabog ang lahat ng mga rebelasyon sa pagmumukha ko.

"We know that we can't deal with the organization alone. We needed help but we also need to be cautious. We could have explained to you everything but we don't wanna risk anything, I'm sorry for lying to you, " Sir Tyrron's eyes were full of sincerity.Ngumiti lamang ako sa kanya.

"But how did you know that Sunset hotel will be on fire in that specific date and people will be missing?" 

"Nung nagtatrabaho pa ako sa organisasyon, isa lang ang malinaw sa akin...they were abducting people. Hindi ko alam kung para saan. Just when I was trying to hack into their server I found out that they were planning to kidnapped more people and burn the whole sunset hotel to cover up their real intention."

"Kung ganun matagal na pala talaga silang nangunguha ng mga tao."

"Yes but in your sister's case, she is much more important to the organization. Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit."

"Kayo din ba ang nagpadala ng mapa sa akin sa hospital kung saan nakatago si Vee? "

"What map? " I was taken aback by their response.

"It was given to me in the hospital. Nakasulat doon kung nasaan si Vee. Akala ko kayo ang nagbigay sa akin nun. "

"Isa lamang ang binigay namin sayo at iyon ay ang scribbled letter, " Stephanie commented.
