Everything is still hard for me to swallow. Hindi ako mapakali sa mga nangyayari. But this isn't actually the first time na mayroong mag-drop ng threat, I heard from Mom before na sometimes si Dad ay binabantaan or hinihingian ng ransom.
This is one of the reasons why ayokong maging businesswoman. Marami kang enemy na hindi mo kilala. Your life is at stake, too.
I sighed and sit sa upuan na katabi lang ng hinihigaan ni Enver.
I looked at him and is hesitant to contact his fellow security members. Bakit parang kilala ko si Enver? Yung feeling na familiar yung mukha niya. Or baka nasa isipan ko lang yun kasi ngayon ko pa lang nakita nang matino ang mukha niya. Palagi kasi siyang naka-sunglass at palaging naka-long face.
His hair is black and it isn't that long. I mean, he has a clean cut. Broad shoulders. Yung mga paa niya ay lumampas na sa hinihigaan niya kasi ang tangkad-tangkad niyang tao. Paano siya naging bodyguard? Ang bata niya pa kasi tignan.
I decided to call Mom from home. Alam kong nag-aalala na siya kasi hindi ako umuwi and the fact na Andre did not picked his call— baka busy din siya. I need to call my Father too.
I dialed Mom's number.
She immediately answered as if she was waiting for me.
"Amelie? Oh my god, Amelie. Where are you?" Sabi niya kaagad.
"Mom-Mom, I am fine. Don't worry about me. I— I have something to do and I wanted to make sure you are okay in there." Sabi ko.
"What was it that you are doing? May duty ka ba sa hospital?" Sabi niya. "Dad and I are at home. Pero we cant get a hold of Andre."
Napaawang ang labi ko.
"Mom— alam mo ba kung nasaan si Andre?" I asked.
"I can't get a hold of him." She answered. Napakagat ako sa labi ko. "Is there something wrong? You gotta tell us para safe ka, anak. Dad and I are overthinking kasi madaming threat ang nagsilabasan to Andre. They just really think that he doesn't deserve to be a CEO." Sabi ni Mom.
Napatayo ako.
Napansin kong nagising si Enver.
Habang hawak ko ang phone ko ay kaagad kong hinawakan ang dibdin ni Enver para di siya tatayo galing sa pagkakahiga. He groaned in pain when he realized about the wound.
I hushed him.
I continued talking to Mom.
"Mom, you shouldn't be bothered by that. It is normal to have that kind of complaint in the world. Kahit gaano kapa kabuting tao— may masasabi at masasabi pa din sila." Sabi ko. "Don't worry Mommy. We're trying to make things... right."
I can't mention Bhryle.
"Anyways, I— I should go. Enver is with me. Please tell his company that he is with me." Sabi ko and ended the call.
Napatingin ako kay Enver na nakatingin lang din sa akin.
"Ma'am..."
"'Wag mo kong tawaging Ma'am sumasakit na ulo ko." Sabi ko.
"Amelie..." His voice is a little husky and it drives me to look at him while he talks.
"What?" I asked.
"Is he really your fiancée?" He asked. Out of the blue.
Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata.
"You seriously worried about that than your wound? You could've died!" I said, annoyed.
"I know. I'm sorry."
He just apologized for having himself shot. Great, Amelie. What else?
"He is not my fiancée. He's just a— dream." I said to him and he froze. "I just said stupid things the other day to stop you from stopping him from what he wanted to do. He knows about the plans of Dustin Cafino. The guy who dropped a threat to my brother and has been tailing them for a while now. And this situation here— This house is their hideout. Maybe they're some kind of a mafia, brotherhood, frat or gang or whatsoever." I explained.
He watched every word I spilled.
"I understand."
"And you should be quiet about it," I said.
He left out a chuckle.
May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko? Yung naiinis na ako kasi ang daming iniisip at nag-aalala ako sa buong pamilya ko.
"This a big issue and you just laugh?" I said. "How come you got shot? I thought you're a special agent." I continued.
He bit his lip.
"What?" I asked.
Him, lying down there makes me want to punch him. Ganito pala talaga kapag may bodyguard? Parang lookout pero somehow wanted to be a hero and insisted na they are just keeping you safe every time na masusugatan.
"Yes, I'm a special agent. But no one can immediately respond to a gun firing from the dark. Especially when you are talking. All your senses might never work." He stated. "If he is your dream, I understand. Girls are just—"
"Girls are what?" I cut him off.
He smiled for the first time.
"Crazy over pretending stuff to make it real. To believe in possibility. You didn't cover up your connection with him, Amelie. You just put a little string on him to look at you. I can see it because it's obvious. I bet you liked him for a long time."
Wow, he talks a lot pala pag nababaril siya? Naiinis ako sa kanya kasi it seems like everything that he has been trying to say is real talk.
"Whatever."
