A Match Made in a Hell

Kabanata 30

“ I told you, I can't. You tell me that you will stop after the masquerade party so what is this all about?” I'm right. When the first time I saw Arthur,I have some bad feeling about him.

“ Come on, Arthur. You said that you love, Aurora,right? You just going to set-up her family then you're done. As easy as that” that voice. That devil voice. Fuck him. You're really evil, my brother.

“ Easy? Really? I'm going to kill the family of my girl. Ikaw ang gumawa. Madali pala eh” I looked at them. You're both stupid.

Bakit dito niyo pa pag-uusapan sa tapat ng condo ko ang mga ganyang bagay.Stupid as always.

“ Then  let me kill your gir,instead” his girl? What a dreamer.

Lumabas ako sa pinagtataguan ko. They both look surprise when they saw me.

“ Lawrence? What are you doing here?” a puzzled expression came into their eyes.

“ What I'm doing here? I'm living here and I think I'm the one who need to ask you that question. Why are you here? It's dawn and you both talking and standing there like a fucking ghost”

“Listen, we heard that Aurora went here after the incident last night. Maaring dito siya nagtatago “

I stopped myself from laughing. These two are really airheaded. I want to give them a round of applause for their stupidity.

“ She's in my condo” their eyes widen because of that sudden answer. If your stupid then let me grab that opportunity to fool you.

“ Good timing, Mukhang umaayon lahat sa plano ko” Luhan laughed like a demon. I make sure that I will erase that expression to your face, just wait.

“What is your plan? I will do my best to help you. I just realized that your Mom really cared for me when I was young so maybe this is the right time to pay it back”

When my mother died. She stand as my mother but just like other. She didn’t treat me like his real son. I experience hell because of her and she is also the reason why my mother died early.

I was young back then so I can't defend my mom. She cut all my mom cards so we can't continue her treatment.

My mother is the legal wife but she makes her as a mistress. Hindi natuloy ang pag papagamot kaya nang hina si mama at wala akong nagawa kundi tanggapin ng sinabi ni mama na hindi niya na kaya.

That was the only way to lessen her pain.

My father didn’t protect us at all. He was busy with his business that he forgot that she has a wife and son. Masyado rin siyang busy sa pambabae niya kaya hindi ko alam baka may kapatid pa ako sa iba.

Luhan isn’t my brother. He's the son of that witch on her first marriage so I'm not related to him even a single bit so it's stupid that everybody is saying that we're look aliked. Ew.

“ So what are your plans? Do you mind if you tell me so I can help” it's 2:46 A.M. so I still have plenty of time to hear their gibberish plans.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanila at tumatango paminsan minsan upang hindi nila maramdaman na hindi ako interesado. May namumuo ng plano sa isip ko at kailangan ko nalang ang tulong ni Aurora at ng pamilya niya.

“ I'yon lang ba? Just like what my brother said.It's piece of cake. No need to worry,I got this.” Luhan tapped my shoulder so I just nodded and wave my hand to bade my goodbye.

“ Hey,Lawrence”I did  not look at him nor utter a word. I just stand there and wait for the next thing he will say.

“ Bakit nasa condo mo si Sheen?”

“ I saw her lastnight. Hirap na hirap siya dahil sa mga natamo niyang sugat kaya dinala ko siya sa condo ko dahil hindi ko alam ang bahay nila”

“ Your Evil. Hindi mo siya tinulungan.Kinuha mo ang opportunity na'yon para mahuli sila. Nasaan ang puso mo”

“ Coming from you? Wake up, Man” I laughed and walk away from him.

I drove as fast as I can to buy food and get some clothes on my stepmom boutique. Luckily, I knew the passcode of her door.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone sa tukador at nag-tungo sa kwarto. I already told Aurora what she need to do.

We can't talk in person because someone might hear us so I'm texting her about their plans.

Au-Gold:

Nasa banyo na ako. Andami dami kasing pwedeng pag pwestuhan ko.Dito pa talaga

I chuckled. I'm so sorry. You told me to lay down in bed so I have no choice.

Lawrence:

Aurora.Read this carefully. I already know their plans and they will do it tomorrow. I act as their companion to know about this.

Lawrence:

Be patient, okay? Don’t go anywhere after this because it will just ruin our plans. They going to kidnap your family including that two girls. A blackmail, for you not to do anything. You know, Arthur. Right? He is one of them.

Au-Gold:

Bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi sa akin 'to? Sandali,tatawagan ko muna sila Peony. They need to protect my family and their selves.

I waited for almost 20 minutes and my cellphone vibrated again for another text.

Au-Gold:

It's finished. After you said the word kidnap. I already know what to do. For sure, they will use bomb to threat me and my family. Just like in every movies they will put them on a chair and tie their hands using a rope.

Lawrence:

Maybe but we need to make sure that everything is under control. Hindi tayo pwedeng mag-padalos dalos dahil lang alam na natin ang plano nila.

Au-Gold:

I asked the twins to become bait. it's too risky but I trust them and I know they can make it.

Lawrence:

Okay. I told them that you're here in my condo. My brother want me to give you a bottles of alcohol. Obviously, it’s not an ordinary drink for sure. They might put sleeping pills or drugs to knock you out. We will get that.

Au-Gold:

Jay, let me leave this Condo before they even do their plans. I don't want them hurt you and beside you're not really involve on this shit.Let me do this.Alone.

Lawrence:

No, it doesn’t matter if I'm involve or not. I'm with you all this time.Ngayon pa ba ako susuko? Ngayon pa ba ako titigil? Even you stop me million times, I will still come to you kahit ipagtabuyan mo pa ako because I want to protect you. You're not immortal ,Aurora.Nasasaktan at mamatay ka. Hindi habang buhay kaya mong sagipin ang sarili mo kaya andito lang ako kahit ano pang sabihin mo. Kaya basahin mong maiigi 'to.

Lawrence:

We will wait for them tomorrow and I will drink with you. Let's act just like before. We're enemy so it's suspicious if I'm the one who will ask you to drink.For sure the normal response is you will refuse so you are the one who will ask me to buy you an alcohol.

Lawrence:

Please, endure everything because I don’t know what will happen after we get drank. Maaaring dalhin ka nila sa abandonadong lugar at pahirapan. I don’t know, just endure until I finish everything. Isipin mo lahat ng kabaligtaran. Na demonyo ako,na nagtraydor ako,na hindi umayon sa plano mo ang lahat. Ipapakita ng mga mata mo at ng expresyon mo ang nasa isip mo kaya dapat ipakita mo sa kanila na ikaw ang dehado. You need to press the Actress mode again.

Au-Gold:

Okay.Just take care of yourself at huwag kang magpapakita sa akin at mag-rereklamo ng may masakit sa'yo. Bibigyan mo ako ng isang libo pag nangyari 'yon
Napailing nalang ako sa sinabi
