GUYS LEAVE A COMMENT DOWN BELOW PARA ALAM KO NAMAN INIISIP NYO HAHAHAHAH.
----
THE next day, I woke up late but I'm feeling better na. I've been thinking about the design of his mask that I should do since kahapon pa. I want to make something for him atleast to thank him for all he did for me. I went out of the room and I was confused when I couldn't find Ver in the house. I ikot-ikot na nga eh but still, I couldn't find him so I went out of the cabin. There! I found him nakahiga on the latag under the tree behind the cabin. He's now wearing his mask na naman.
"You're here lang pala!" I said while I lakad towards him.
"Yeah, I'm actually waiting for you." He pushed himself up to get into a sitting position.
"Sorry hehehe, I slept late last night." I sat sa tabi nya.
Humarap sya sakin. "Why? You had nightmares?"
I scatched the back of my head. "No, I was thinking about the design of the mask that I promised you, remember?"
He stood up. "Okay, I'll get you papers and a pen." Pumasok sya sa bahay at bumalik with papers and a case which I guess contains the pens? He handed it to me then naupo na ulit sya beside me.
I was drawing the design of his mask while eating the club-house sandwich that he prepared when he spoke.
"Are you really curious about what happened to me?"
My eyes widened, is he going to make kwento na? I excitedly nodded my head while munching the sandwich.
I guess it's time to bare myself to Lissandra. She told me her fears, almost everything. Pinag-katiwalaan nya agad ako sa maikling panahon. Now, it's time for me to do the same.
"My dad is a retired NAVY SEAL, doon ko nakuha ang idea na maging sundalo rin balang-araw. Nakilala nya ang nanay ko sa Middle East, isa itong anak ng Italian Business-Tycoon na naroon para sa isang business transaction involving Arabs. They met when my dad is in a middle of war between ISIS, isa ang nanay ko sa hinostage and that's how my little brother and I were born. Nang mag-retire ang tatay ko ay dinala nya kami sa Batangas, kung saan nakatira ang aming lola. Isang simpleng probinsyana ito na naanakan ng kano. Kaya't napunta kami dito sa Pinas. Sa ngayon ay mag-kakasama ang aking ama,ina at nakakabatang kapatid sa Italy para asikasuhin ang negosyo ng pamilya. Pinili ng kapatid ko na mag-manage ng business namin at ako naman, pinili kong sundan ang yapak ng tatay ko." Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga. Tahimik lang si Liss na nakikinig sa kwento ko. Hinubad ko ang mask at dinama ang pilat ko sa mukha.
"If you're wondering how I got these scars, ito na sasabihin ko na. Bilang NAVY SEAL ay natatalaga kami sa iba't-ibang lugar. Dito nag-karoon ng idea ang girlfriend ko simula highschool na may ibang babae raw ako. Si Amanda ito, mabait at mahinhin ang pag-kakilala ko sa kanya pero nag-bago sya. Ayun nga, hindi ko alam kung saan nya nakuha ang ideya na iyon, ang alam ko lang naman ay nag-tratrabaho lamang ako. Umaalis man ako dahil sa misyon ay bumabalik pa rin ako para sa kanya. Sinabihan ko ang matalik kong kaibigan na si Jake na bantayan ito. Ngunit, hindi lang pala bantay ang ginawa. Kaya naman pala nagback-out ito sa pagiging sundalo rin. Sobra-sobra sa pag-babantay ang ginawa nito, inahas nya rin." Natawa ako sa huli kong sinabi. Nanlalaki ang mata ni Lissandra tila may nahihinuhang ideya pero pinatuloy ko ang kwento.
"Nasunog ang balat ko noong may isa kaming misyon sa Afghanistan na muntik na akong bawian ng buhay."
