His Queen: The Beginning

Chapter 21

It's been three days since that confirmation. Tatlong araw na, at sa dalawang gabi na 'yon, hina-hunting pa rin si Ash ng katotohanan. Katotohanan na kahit kailan, ay siguradong uukil sa utak niya.

Hindi man niya gustong magalit sa mga adopted parents nila ni Vash, but thinking how they fvckin' give her to the Xarthous' as their payment is not shitty acceptable! She's not theirs for them to decide! Wala silang karapatan.

And Vash too! How dare they involve her innocent brother to their filthy monkey business? Fvck! Though, still, she's thankful that they took care of her bro.

"Fire, spare the cake. You're murdering it." Kalmadong sita sakanya ni Horizon. He's sitting comfortably across Ash while sipping his coffee.

The night she left the house, dito siya dumeretso. Sa condo unit ni Horizon. She got no place to stay in, and it's a waste of money if she stay in hotels. Another thing is, she won't be able to do her things, freely. Thanks to their CCTVs.

She goddamn know that it's so strange for a man and a girl live in one roof. Tss, it's not that we're sleeping together! People and their motherfudging judgement. I doesn't care, thou.

"Whatever." She rolled her eyes on him and start eating the cake she murdered, just a moment ago.

"Anyway, did you already do what did I told you last night?"

He nods before wiping his mouth.
"Actually Fire, it isn't me who did that job." He said while wriggling his brows.

Kumunot ang nuo ni Ash sa sinabi nito. He doesn't have an apprentice. Who the hell did his job?!

"What? Then who, if it isn't you?"

He shrugged his shoulders and reach for the remote control of the TV. He opened it and motion his hand.

"Watch." Then a video of a woman appears, holding a sanitary napkin. Obviously, advertising the product. Tila umakyat lahat ng dugo niya sa katawan.

Mabilis niyang dinampot ang bread knife sa mesa at pinalipad ito sa direksyon ng lalaki. Just a centimeter away from his ear. Tumusok ang kutsilyo sa upuan.

Biglang nahigit ni Horizon ang hininga at nanlalaking matang' nakatingin sakanya. Maya-maya, pagkatapos maka-recover, sinamaan siya nito ng tingin.

"Are you going to kill me, Fire? Nadadalwa ka na!" Himutok nito sa baluktot na tagalog.

At kailan pa natuto ang gago?

"Yes, if you keep toying me, dickhead." She coldly answer and eat again like nothing happened.

"I'm not toying you! That's a commercial for hell's sake! Learn to wait, will you?"

"Don't you dare command me! I'm superior than you! And i can kill you in a blink."

Ngumuso lang ang lalaki at pinaningkitan siya ng mata. Malamig niya itong tinignan at kumain nang muli.

"Look, that's what I'm talking about." Kapagkuwa'y sabi nito at itinuro ang TV sa likuran niya. Hindi pa siya tuluyang nakaka-lingon, isang malaking boses ang pumaibabaw sa buong hapag.

" Sunod-sunod na pagsabog ang naganap sa Visaya nitong mga nakaraang araw. At kaninang umaga'y may naitala nanaman ang nga otoridad na pagsabog galing sa isang warehouse sa Takloban. Katorse katao ang naitalang patay sa nasabing warehouse at walang nakaligtas. Iniimbestigahan pa ng ka-pulisan kung sino at ano ang motibo sa pag-papasabog. Naaalarma na ang mga Bisaya dahil sa mga sunod-sunod napag-sabog na nagaganap ngunit hindi pa sila maaaring ilikas  sapagkat hindi pa masabi kung terrorism attack ba ang mga ito.
