Pagkatapos kong patahanin si Mel, inalalayan ko muna siya papunta sa isang spare room sa loob ng Suite.
Pinaupo ko muna siya sa kama at nagpaalam na umalis muna doon upang uminom ng tubig.
Naabutan ko si kuya Diamond sa sala, malalim nanaman ang iniisip. He's figuring out what will happen now that we have a witness.
Kay Mel ngayon nakasalalay ang fate ng aming Mafia. Malaking responsibilidad para sa isang maliit na tao.
I wonder how she's coping with this. She doesn't know how powerful and at the same time weak she is because she is our star witness.
Kuya Diamond met my gaze.
"If what Club's saying is true, then Mel is going to be in danger." He said.
I just stared at him. Come to think about it, I never knew her full name. Might ask her later though.
"Nakaabot na sa Delestria Court na may witness tayo. This sudden revelation can either tip the scales in our favor, or lose what little chance we have to buy us some time for Ramos and Roma to locate our father." He said.
"Kuya... won't we have time when they'll be looking for the Oi Prokliseis? Diba... matagal nang hindi ginagamit iyon? They have to find it first. Otherwise, you won't have any means to take father's throne." Sabi ko.
Tulad nga ng inisip ko dati, this will become problematic kung magkakaroon ng change in leadership sa aming Mafia. It rarely happens. Kadalasan ipinapasa to nang walang gamit na Oi Prokliseis.
He looked deep in thought while absorbing my words. I left him there and proceeded to go to the kitchen. I decided to get coffee (because my head can't take this info anymore) and tea for the lady in the spare room.
Dala dala ko ang dalawang tasa na may laman na kape at tsaa sa room niya.
Paano ko ba ito bubuksan?
I had an idea. A stupid idea pero tinatamad na kasi ako eh.
Using my head, I knocked on the door three times.
Ow...
5 seconds later nagbukas iyon at nakita ko si Mel na nagtataka kung paano ako kumatok seeing that my hands are preoccupied.
"Paano ka kumatok?" nagtatakang tanong niya.
Ayish! Tinanong pa!
Namula ako. Wtf.
Hindi ako namumula. Bakla ka ba Spade?!
"I used my uh... forehead to knock." I said, embarrassed.
She laughed and ushered me inside. Paika-ika pa siyang tumungo sa kama at umupo while I settled on the seat next to her bed.
Remind me to get some crutches, no, a wheelchair for this girl the next time I walk out of this room.
I handed her the tea and she mumbled a 'thank you' before sipping. I sipped mine too and was overwhelmed with the strong taste of caffeine invading my senses.
Wow... this is good coffee.
Back to the matter at hand, may mga tanong pa akong hindi nasasagot because of this mysterious girl. I'm no stranger to attraction. I know I was attracted to this girl, but what I don't know is, to what extent?
"So I was wondering--" I cleared my throat before continuing.
"—since you're going to be our witness to this, situation we're currently in, why don't we get to know each other? Play 21 questions?" I said.
