THE QUEEN (Season 1: Completed)

Chapter 57

Arken POV

Kanina pa ako nakatunganga habang iniisip ang maraming bagay. Pagkatapos naming mag-usap ni Marcus ay mas lalong hindi ako makatulog. Kahit anong gawin ko, palaging bumabalik sa isip ko ang lahat ng sinabi niya.

Damn! That was unexpected!

'I love you.'

Damn! Those words! Tinapik-tapik ko ulit ang dibdib ko para kumalma. Marcus is constantly bugging my mind and Kuya on the other hand is still not calling me. My phone rang and I automatically accepted it when I finally saw it's Kuya.

"Yeobosaeyo?" Nag-antay akong magsalita ang kabilang linya pero wala akong narinig. "Oppa?! Yeobosaeyo?!" Medyo nilakasan ko na ang boses ko.

["Yeodongsaeng..."]

"Oppa! Wae geuleohge olae geol lyeossneunji?"
Translation: What took you so long to call?

["Sssh! I'm okay. I'm okay. No injury, no cut, no wound or whatsoever."] Imporma nito kaya kumalma ako.

"Hmm.. good."

["But, I do have a problem..."]

"Stop beating around the bush."

["Calm down."]

"I am calm."

["I think I stepped on something..."] Napapalatak ako at napaupo sa kama.

"Landmine?"

["Yeah."]

"What a clumsy little raccoon you are." I sighed. "Where is Butler Hyo?"

["He's here in front of me. His face right now is like a dog that is about to lose his master."] Narinig ko na nagsalita si Butler Hyo gamit ang lengguwahe namin na sinaway ito.

"Alright. Listen carefully. Don't do anything stupid. Don't move. Don't breathe. Don't annoy the hell out of me."

["Yeodongsaeng! You're making me more nervous!"]

"Stop whining. Focus." Kastigo ko.

["Okay."] I heard him breathed heavily.

"Open your facetime. Let me see you first." Utos ko at mayamaya pa ay nagfacetime na nga ito. Kitang-kita ko ang malalaking butil ng pawis sa noo nito. Gusto kong matawa sa itsura nito ngayon. Malayong-malayo ito sa alaskador na mukha niya na palagi kong nakikita.

["Don't laugh!"] He immediately warned.

"Make sure that the enemy is not lurking around the vicinity."

["Wala. I think this is a mine infested area and no one has the courage to wander around on this place ."]

"Tss! And yet you're there. You're stupid and clumsy but you're lucky enough because your sister loves you." I shook my head. "Stop grinning like a cheshire cat and hand over your phone to Butler Hyo." Sinunod naman nito ang sinabi ko at nakita ko nga si Butler Hyo sa screen.

["Agassi."]

"Listen to me carefully. Once my brother dies, I'll kill everyone in your lineage. Including Butler Daki and Butler Jang. You know I am not bluffing, Butler Hyo." Banta ko.

["Understood, Agassi."]

"Let me see his foot." Utos ko at agad naman itong tumalima. "Okay. I see it. Do you have a knife with you?"

["I do have, Agassi."]

"I need you to disarm the mine. Do it carefully and calmly or else both of you will explode." Paalala ko. "Clean the area around his foot. Make sure that you don't touch his legs." Agad naman itong sumunod sa sinabi ko.
