Chapter 5: [Sobra na!]
(Xyrine Jean's POV)
"Xyrineeee Jeaaaan!"
"Argh. Ano na naman ba 'yon?" pupungas pungas kong anas.
"Xyrine, nagmamakaawa ako sa'yo, 'wag ka na pumasok ngayong araw. Panigurado ako, may masamang mangayayari sa'yo."
For pete's sake, gusto ko pang matulog. "Pwede ba Ella. Just mind your own business?"
"Xyrine. Hindi ako nagbibiro. Please, 'wag kana — Acck!" hindi ko na s'ya pinatapos magsalita dahil tinulak ko na s'ya palabas ng kwarto ko.
It's too early to deal with this kind of crap.

(Uncle Julyo is calling...)
Napatitig ako sa cellphone ko nang makita ko kung sino ang tumatawag.
Ha, tumawag ka din sa wakas.
"Hello, uncle, papabalikin mo naba ako?" bungad ko agad sa kan'ya kahit alam kong 'di 'yon ang sasabihin n'ya.
"No."
Napakunot ako ng noo. "Hindi mo pa din ba na-rerealized na hindi ako dapat na andito at nandyan ako sa headquearters?"
"No."
Nakakairita. "So why are you calling then?"
"Just giving you an order."
"Order? what do you mean by that?" tanong ko kahit sa tingin ko ay alam ko na ang dahilan ng pag-tawag n'ya.
"Why did you kill?" tila binalot ng katahimikan ang buong paligid naming dalawa dahil sa tanong n'ya.
As expected, alam kong makakarating at makakarating sa kan'ya ang ginawa ko. "Having been a professional assassin for more than half of my life, isn't it ironic to ask that question?"
"Montreal University is exclusively attended by heirs and heiresses of major companies, influential families, and elite conglomerates."
"And so?"
Narinig ko s'yang bumuga ng hangin bago muling nagsalita, "you are no longer Assassin, XJ."
Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko dahil sa sinabi n'ya. Why does he need to blurted out that way?
"From now on, you are not allowed to use any skills you acquire through the organization to kill anyone."
"But—"
"That's my final order. "
Bago pa ako makasagot ay naibaba n'ya na ang tawag.
Ha! does he have any idea how terrible Montreal University is? Those heirs and heiresses he's talking about are toying with ordinary people's lives! As if forgetting that I'm an assassin wasn't enough, it's like he's thrown me into a cage with furious kittens with my hands and feet bound.
Order? Impossible.
