“What’s the plan?”
“Why am I here?”Kyle entered the unit. Lahat kami ay napatingin sa kanya.
Ano’ng ginagawa niya dito? Bakit siya nandito? Hindi dapat siya nandito. Ayaw ko na pati siya ay madamay dito.
“I thought you’re gonna help me with my future case? They are my clients for my future case”Markus said.
Kyle looked at me, umiwas ako ng tingin dahil naalala ko iyong sinabi niya sa akin na hindi niya ako matutulungan dahil kapatid niya si Stephen.
“I won’t help you with your case”Kyle said.
I knew it.
“Kyle---”
“Don’t force him”Twixx said. I held his hand resting on the top of his knees and faked a smile.
I know that there’s no one wants to take the case if we are against Twixx’s family. Sino ba naman kasi ang may gusto na mauna mamatay, ‘di ba? Kahit naman na gusto kong tumakas hindi ko na magagawa, nandito na ako.
Hindi na pwede umatras.
“I’ll give you 90 thousand, just help Markus”lahat kami ay napatingin sa sinabi ni Axel. “100 thousand.”
“Twixx’s family is very dangerous, Axel! This is about life and death!”sinandal ko iyong ulo ko sa balikat ni Twixx.
“Choosing life when Twixx’s family is around is like living in hell, Kyle”Axel replied.
This is what hell looks like. That even we try to run, they are chasing us to death.
“Kuya is reinvestigating Irene Rivera’s Murder Case, I can’t protect him if I help you”alam ko na mas uunahin niya ang kuya niya. Si Kyle na lang ang meron si Stephen ngayon.
“Alam ba ni Lukas ito?”tanong sa akin ni Kyle.
Umiling ako.
“Death is chasing you, Ericka---”
“Sa tingin mo papabayaan ko si Eri, ha, Kyle?”tanong ni Twixx sa kanya.
“This is why I chose her over my family. I want to protect her. I am protecting her from my family who wants to kill her!”
Wala na ulit ang naglakas loob na nagsalita pagkatapos ng sinabi ni Twixx. Halata naman sa boses niya nag alit siya. Alam ko naman na nahihirapan din siya. Wala naman may alam kung kailan matatapos ang lahat ng ito.
“We need to create a strong plan, not an argument”Alex said.
“Ano’ng sabi ni Justin?”Markus asked as he leaned on the table.
“After the graduation”bigla na lang akong kinabahan. “That’s exactly what he said”
Twixx held my hand. But I closed my eyes, trying to calm down. Hindi naman maaalis sa akin iyong takot kahit nandito si Twixx. Paano kung ako na iyong isunod nila?
“Pinadoble ko na iyong mga nagbabantay sa inyo…”bigla ko rin naalala iyong mga lalaking sumusunod sa akin sa iswelahan.
Sabi ni Ryker mga tao iyon ni Axel, pero parang hindi iyon ang naramdaman ko noong mga oras na iyon.
“Okay na iyong rest house sa Laguna. We can stay there while preparing for our board exam”
“Hindi ba tayo masusundan do’n?”tanong ko kay Charles.
Hindi naman nila maaalis sa akin na mag-alala. Lalo pa’t bawat galaw namin ay malaman nila. Paano kung sabay-sabay kaming patayin do’n? Paano kung may masamang mangyari?
