Maid in Your Arms(BBHS5)✅

Chapter 43. Mission

I don't care about him being an agent. Tinangap mo nga ang asawa mo 'di ba? I'm not gonna judge him, Serenity. Because I am no saint myself. Hindi ako dios para husgahan siya. I love him and that's all it matters."

Mission
.
.

"How do you like your coffee, Sunny?" si Serenity.

"Two sugars and white please," smiling at her.
.

I roam my eyes around the greenery area. It's a beautiful old fashion patio with a creeping roses all over. Everything around here is surrounded by flowers, and the smell of the blossoms in the air is like a strong perfume.
.

"Mahilig ka sa mga rosas?" Sabay tingin ko sa bulaklak nito.

"Nakahiligan lang din..."
.

Naupo na ako at maingat niyang nilapag ang ginawang kape sa akin. Naupo na agad siya.
.

"Help yourself, Sunny," turo ng mga mata niya sa chocolate biscuits na nandito.

"Salamat," ngumiti na ako at kumuha nang isa.
.

Nawala ang pag alala ko habang nakatingin sa bawat bulaklak ng halaman niya sa paligid. I've been thinking for Brent the whole time, and I've been wondering if he can follow us later or tonight.
.

"How are you and Brent?" Tipid na tanong niya, sabay inom sa kape.

"Yeah, all good. Mabuti naman kami. Kaso mukhang may kong anong nangyayari na hindi ko maintindihan ito. Naiwan siya sa Isla at heto ako, dito..." Buntong hininga ko.
.

She nodded while drinking her coffee. I looked at her thoroughly, and all I can see is the contentment of everything. Nakatingin siya sa kung saan nakatingin din ako, sa mga bulaklak na nandito.
.

"Alam mo hindi talaga madali ang trabaho ni Brent... He works in the same field like my husband, Sunny," panimula niya.

.

Napatitig na ako sa kanya at naguguluhan pa ako ngayon. I thought Brent works under Clyde, and that Clyde is his sole master. Ba't ngayon sinasabi ni Serenity na magkapareho ang trabaho nila.
.

"W-What do you mean?"
.

Maingat niyang binaba ang tasa at tinitigan lang din ako. Kinabahan na ako... Heto na nga ang kinatatakutan ko. Ang boung akala ko kasi kay kilala ko na si Brent, hindi pa pala. May kulang na impormasyon pa ako tungkol sa pagkatao niya.
.

"Naalala ko noong lumuhod si Clyde sa harap ko... He proposed a ring and his identity. I could not believe it... Ang akala ko kasi sa mga telenobela lang nangyayari ang mga ganitong bagay. Hindi pala, dahil napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na ang taong minahal ko ay hindi basta-basta..."

.

"I was hesitant at first but my love is stronger and I could not imagine my life without him. Kahit na ano paman siya, hindi naman siya masamang tao talaga," ngiti niya sa akin.
.

I blinked my eyes a few times and I couldn't even swallowed my own saliva. Something's blocking inside my throat that I couldn't even utter a word. Gusto ko sanang magsalita, pero mas pinakinggan ko na siya.
.

"Brent is the same, but he's life is more complicated than my husband, Sunny..."
.

Umiwas siya nang titig at napatingala sa bulaklak ng rosas na nasa harapan namin. I can even hear her deep breathing.
.

"That two is like brothers, because they have the same kind of job. Pero iba si Brent, full time squad kasi siya at mas peligroso ang sa kanya."

"And what do you mean by that?" nalilitong tugon ko.

"Brent is not what you think he is, Sunny... Nahihirapan siyang ipaliwanag sa'yo ang lahat. Kaya kung kaya ko, sasabihin ko lang kong ano ang nalalaman ko."

"And what do you know, Serenity? Straight to the point. Sabihin mo na at huwag mo ng paikutin pa ang lahat. Maiintindihan ko naman siguro 'di ba?" iritadong tugon ko.

.

I feel like I am about to explode and I want to know to truth. Tumayo na ako at agad na kinalma ang sarili ko. I know myself when I get furious, but the worst side of me is I can't control my worries.
.

"Serenity?" mahinahong tugon ko sa kanya.

"Brent works under the Black Hawk Organizations, and yes, he's not a typical normal person because he's an agent, Sunny, a special dark agent."
,

My brow furrowed and my jaw drop rapidly. How can she expect me to believe it? I just can't... Well, to prove he was in the army and been to wars... And so? Kaya ba ganito siya ngayon at ito ang trabaho niya? Uh, nakaloloka!
.

"And so? What's the big deal?"

"I don't care about him being an agent. Tinangap mo nga ang asawa mo 'di ba? I'm not gonna judge him, Serenity. Because I am no saint myself. Hindi ako dios para husgahan siya... I love him and that's all it matters..."
.

Nangilid na ang luha ko habang sinasabi ko ito sa kanya. Kinuha ko na ang bag ko. I'm so confused right now. My mind is telling me that he's gonna be okay, but my heart is the opposite way around. Kinakabahan ako. Mas kinakabahan ako ngayon para sa kanya.
.

"I need to go, Serenity. I need to see him."

"Sunny... Just wait. He's on a mission-"

"What the heck! I don't care! Mamatay siya sa walang kwentang mission na 'yan. I can make him stop, and I want him to quit at his job!"

"Sunny hindi mo kasi naiintindihan-"

"Why do you need to explained this to me, Serenity?! I can ask him myself. Ba't ko pa sa'yo nalalaman ito?"

Tumalikod na ako at handa na akong umalis dito.

"Because he's not sure if he can make it!"
.

Nahinto ako nang hakbang at parang nanlamig lang ang boung katawan ko. Have I heard it right? No, way...
.

"He promised me..." Sabay harap ko sa kanya, at pilit na pinigilan ang namumuong luha ko.

"He promised me that he will be here with me tonight. And I'll take that as the only answer from him!" Sabay talikod ko sa kanya.
