She's My Boyish Girl

Chapter 12

Third Person

AS his eyes squinted while watching the car driving away from them, he sighed heavily. They will be fucked up in no time if the boss knew that the Villaceras' Old Man escaped from their sight. Though they managed to shoot him, Pheonix knew he's wounded.

Whatever the result is, he's obliged to report it to Akuma. So he fished out his phone and dialled the Boss' digits. It answered immediately, but the boss didn't speak at all, seems like Akuma is waiting for him to tell the details.

Pheonix swallowed hard. "He escaped, Akuma. But we managed to injure him--" he didn't finish his words when the boss hanged up on him, just the usual. Especially when he reports bad news.

That guy, the Head of Villaceras. He just made the biggest mistake of his life. He bumped the wrong enemy.

MALAKAS  na binuksan ni Arkin ang pinto ng hospital na pinuntahan niya. Nakita niya agad ang kanyang amang nakaratay sa kama. Maraming galos ito at maputla, agad niyang nilapitan ito at tahimik lamang na nakasunod sa kanyang likod sina Nox at Kae.

"Dad! Anong nangyari?! Why... how did you have this?! Did someone tried to kill you?!" Sunod sunod niyang tanong. Napangitngit siya nang makita ang kalagayan ng ama, hindi niya alam kung sini ang may pakana nito. But he's sure the one who did this wanted to kill his father.

Ngumiti ang Daddy ni Arkin at umiling. "I-I'm okay, Arkin. Don't worry about me," kalmadong ani nito ngunit halatang nahihirapan sa sitwasyon. Napayukom ang kamao ni Arkin.

Kung sino man ang may gawa nito ay walang puso! Mabait ang Daddy niya and his Dad is doing his best to provide for them, to give them a bright future!

Natahimim ang lahat ngunit umalingawngaw ang tunog ng telepono ni Kae. Agad niyang inexcuse ang sarili at sinagot ang tawag. Lumabas si Kaemoon sa room at sinagot ang tawag ng kanyang Ama. Nang marinig ang sinasabi nito ay agad na nanlamig ang buong katawan ni Arkin.

He immediately ended the call and went back inside. Dapat malaman ni Arkin at ng Daddy niya ang nangyayari! Mabilis niyang binuksan ang pinto at nagulat pa ang lahat.

"Kaemoon? Nagpapahinga si, Dad! Huwag kang mag-i--"

"Shit! Binangga ni Tito ang Shi Akuma Yakuza!" Natatarantang ani niya. Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Arkin at kapansin-pansin na kalmado lamang ang mukha ng Daddy niya.

"Anong pinagsasasabi mo? Walang binangga si Dad!" Binalingan niya ang Dad niyang may malungkot na ngiti. Tahimik lang na nagmamasid si Nox sa kanila, hindi niya naman alam kung ano ang sasabihin o gagawin. Hindi niya rin ugalinh makisawsaw sa problema ng iba hanggat di hinihingi ang tulong niya.

"Dad! Tell me! Ano ba talaga ang nangyari!" Nag-aalalang tanong niya. Mabuti na lamang at wala rito ang Mommy at ang mga kapatid niya. Ayaw niyang marinig ng mga ito ang mga ganitong bagay.

"P-pinapatawag ang buong Villaceras dahil sa kasalanang nagawa niya sa Yakuza. Your lives are in danger, Arkin. You're meeting, Akuma. The Boss of Shi Akuma Yakuza."

"How did you know those things, Kaemoon? Kilala mo ba ang mga taong yan?" Nox interfered. Hindi na siya nanahimik pa, something's telling him na may alam ang kaibigan niya.

Kaemoon sighed and turned his back on them and raised his t-shirt. There's a a smal black butterfly tattoo on his back na half an inch lang ang laki. It's so small. "Do you see the black butterfly?" They all said yes at ibinaba naman agad ni Kaemoon ang damit niya at humarap sa kanila.

"Our bloodline is an underling of Shi Akuma Yakuza. My Dad just told me awhile ago na pinapatawag ang pamilya niyo Arkin, to pay for your Dad's mistake."
