Present, Mistaken Love (On-Going)

Chapter thirty eight

Michelle's POV

"Kuya Gelo saan ba tayo pupunta?" I asked him

I checked my watch, it's already 5am, out of nowhere kasi tinawagan niya ko kaninang 4am and he wants to meet me

"Andrea called me last night" he seriously said as he is very much focused sa pagdridrive

"what did she told you?" I curiously asked

"Let's talk about it once we get there" he said, I dont even have any idea kung saan kami pupunta so I decided to take a short nap

Nagising na lang ako nang mapansin kong huminto kami tila lumipas din ang ilang oras, I checked my watch again and it's 8am.

"nasaan tayo?" I asked, tinignan ko ang paligid at nakahinto kami sa tapat ng isang bahay

he didnt said anything sa halip bumaba na siya kaya sumunod ako

"I dont know either, pero ito ung lugar na sinabi ni Andrea" he approached the gate and tried to open it, bumukas naman ito at bahagya na kaming pumasok

Naglakad kami papunta sa main door, he held the knob and it's not locked, "kaninong bahay 'to?!" I asked, nauna siyang pumasok tapos sumunod lang ako

*kkkrriingg krriingg*

"Hello? we're here...yes...okay...got it"

"who's that?" sa totoo lang naguguluhan ako sa nangyayari

"it's Andrea. Sabi niya dito muna tayo magsstay. No one knows this place..." then nilibot niya ang kanyang tingin at nahanap ang switch ng mga ilaw, "and I guess.."

"o.m.g" gulat na sambit ko

"this must be her hide out" pagtutuloy niya sa kanyang sinasabi

pagbukas ng mga ilaw, nagulat talaga ako sa mga nakita ko. Iba't ibang klase ng mga pistols, bombs, shotguns, laptops, wires...lahat na. Grabe, nalulula ako

"can we talk for awhile? Alam ko kasi na may nalalaman ka sa ginagawa ni Andrea" he asked kaya sumang ayon ako

pumunta kami sa dining area, it's a good thing na lahat ng necessities meron na dito

"ano bang gusto mo malaman?" I asked habang nagsasalin siya ng red wine sa baso

naupo muna siya sa kabilang side ng table bago nagsalita, "I know Andrea has been busy with her own business. This mafia thing, akala ko kasi simpleng member lang siya pero mukhang mali ako" natatawang sabi pa niya

"so may alam ka din?" I asked

nagkibit balikat siya, "not much. pero ayun lang ang alam ko. I need to know para maintindihan ko" he seriously said

"well, sasabihin ko lang kung ano ung nalalaman ko. May tatlong malalaking mafia group sa Japan--Takashi, Yamazumi and Shinichi. Ate Andrea isnt just a simple member ng isang mafia group--under siya ni Shinichi, parang siya ung kanang-kamay nung pinaka boss nila. Ate has a team at isa sa member nun ay Kuya ko though hindi ko siya biological brother since adopted ako"

"how long has she been doing this?" curious niyang tanong

"as far as I can remember, my Kuya told me that Ate Andrea has been working with them for about 8 or 10yrs now. Basta she started it when she was 18yrs old" tila nagulat si Kuya Gelo sa sinabi ko, halata ngang wala siyang alam sa ginagawa ng kapatid niya

"I never knew that she worked at that young age. She faced random bullets, lose a lot of blood, had a lot of scars and scratches but she never even dare to tell me even my parents" hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya
