The Truth Behind the Lies ( COMPLETED )

Chapter 18: The New Cheif

Alliyah

DAYS HAD PASSED and I'm still on my leave. Ayoko munang pumasok, but now kailangan kasi I dedeclare na ng higher ups kung sino ang magiging bagong Cheif. Well I guess its Rewis, sya kasi ang pinakamatagal sa amin at mas may experience. So today, we will see.

Papasok palang ako ng HQ ng bigla akong tinawag ni Zach.

"Liyah? Sandali."

Sa halip na tumigil, dumeretso lang ako sa pag lalakad. Ayoko pa syang makausap ngayon. Hindi ko pa sya kayang pakinggan. Sa ngayon mabuti munang umiwas ako.

"Liyah, bakit mo ba ako iniiwasan?"

Kasi ayoko pang makipag usap sayo. Kung pwede ko nga lang yun sabihin ng deretso sa mukha nya nagawa ko na. Pero ayoko rin naman syang saktan, kaya I choose na iwasan nalang sya.

Ng maramdaman kong sinusundan nya ako, binilisan ko ang lakad ko. Pero sa halip na tigilan nya ako sa kahahabol nya, hinawakan nya ako sa balikat at isinandal sa pinakamalapit na dingding.

"Why do you keep on ignoring me?"

Sa halip na sumagot ako, sinubukan kong tanggalin ang kamay nya sa pagkakakulong sa akin.

"Liyah, answer me." He said with his eyes full of eagerness.

I didn't move, nor flinch. Wala akong ginawa kundi tumayo lang sa kinalalagyan ko.

"Liyah listen to me, please. Hindi ako yung tinutukoy nila. Maniwala ka naman."

Still I didn't respond. Sige lang mag salita ka, pakikinggan kita pero wala kang mahihitang matinong sagot mula sa akin.

"Liyah, sinet up lang nila ako. Maniwala ka naman sa akin, please. Please lang." He said while begging. He's really begging.

"Liyah magsalita ka naman oh."

"Tapos kana ba? Kasi may pupuntahan pa ako."

Nag pukol sya ng nakakagulat na tingin sa mukha ko at dahan dahan nyang tinanggal anv kamay niya sa dingding.

Habang nag lalakad akong palayo, may narinig pa akong pahabol na salita mula sa kanya.

"Wag kang mag alala Liyah dahil hindi ako mag sasawang paulit ulitin kang isandal sa dingsing para lang makinig ka, at hindi rin ako mag sasawang paulit ulitin ang mga sinasabi ko  hanggang sa maniwala ka dito. Papansinin mo din ako Liyah, at kahit mag tagal pa yun wala akong pakialam."

I admire your eagerness pero hindi ko muna yan maapreciate ng buo Zach. Sorry.

But the truth is, I already forgive you, but I still don't wan't to talk to you.

AS I enter the room,the silence welcomed me.

"Finally you're here." I've startled because Rewis talk directly on my ear. For pete sake.

"Yeah I'm here. Isn't it obvious?"

"I'm just joking around mate."

Yeah you heard it right, mate, because were batchMATES thats why.

"I'll congrats you in advance mate." I said.

"Are you kidding? Pwedeng ikaw ang maging sunod ah."

"Kahit na i declare nila na ako ang magiging bagong Chief, I still won't accept that."

"Its a huge opportunity. Bakit mo ituturn down?"

"Personal reasons. Personal matters."

"Yeah yeah, I understand. Lets go? The announcement were about to start."

"Yeah."

While waiting for the higher ups, I get my bag and get the one of my favorite books. The Da Vinci Code.

"Still a fan huh." Rewis stated

"I will always be a fan."

"Natapos mo na ba yan?"

"Of course."

"Talaga? Re read?"

"Mhm. Paborito ko talaga tong libring to."

"Hundi naman halata."

"Tsh. The higher ups are here."

As they enter the room the whispers had stopped.

"Ngayon nalang ba uli nila nakita ang higher ups?"

"Maybe." Rewis answered.

"Good morning everyone. I know that some of you only saw us once. But we are only here to announce who will be the next Cheif. We all decided that the new Cheif is..................................... Rewis. Congratulations."

"I told you mate."

He didn't answer me. Hahahaha he's really stunned he didn't expect this.

"Hey mate, galaw galaw."

"H-ha?"

"Sabi ko galaw galaw. Tinatawag ka sa stage mate. Hahhaha di makagalaw?"

"P-pota ka mate."

I only just smirk and then I pushed him to the stage. Bahala ka sa buhay mo hahahahha.

"A-ah, uhm, T-thank you everyone, you k-know, this is a great opportunity but also a scary one. As you all know, this position is one of the highest position, so its twin is danger. I never thought that this position will be mine. Ironically, I thought that this position will be granted to Liyah. I mean she's tough, strong, genious and especially has this." Sabi nya sabay turo sa puso nya. "But still I'm honoured because this position was given to me. Thank you everyone. I'll do everything so that everything went well."

I was stunned on what he said. He expected na ako ang susunod? Seriously?

"Congrats Mate."

"Thanks."

"Ano ba yung pinag sasabi mo? Bakit puro tungkol sa akin?"

"Kasi akala ko talaga ikaw ang pipiliin. Aish. Bakit kasi ako?"

"Ayaw mo ba?"

"Gusto ko syempre. Sino ba naman ang aayaw dun, pero sa ilang taon na pagiging detective ko at pagiging police, hindi ko naman to hiniling."

"Alam ko. Pero ito ata ang naka tadhana sayo eh."

"Maybe. Pero wait, bakit ayaw mong maging Cheif kahit ikaw ang piliin nila?"

"Sa totoo, hindi ito ang pangarap ko, maybe that's why."

"Kung ganon, anong pangarap mo?"

I faced him. "I wanted to be a lawyer."
