I gripped the gun tighter as he loaded his gun.
"Leave, I'll take care of this." He commanded na alam kong hindi saakin.
Umatras si irene at umalis na sa pagkakaupo sa swivel chair ang magaling kong ama.
They all left, leaving me and Vladimir.
"How does it feel to be betrayed?" He coldly said.
Is this my punishment?
I don't want to end up like this, if you only knew.
"Why don't you shoot? It's your time to fulfill your mission, to kill me."
I slowly shook my head, I can't hurt him.
His eyes were piercing at me, his voice were cold, and his aura was dark. Dangerous.
This is not how he talked to me before. He's full of gentleness before.
But how can he act like this? Like he didn't even love me before, like he didn't know me?
"Scared now, huh?" He mocked.
Can I hurt the father of my child?
No.
My knees were trembling, but I still managed to stay still at my position.
I can't break down in front of him, not when I know he's not gonna comfort me anymore.
"Enough, please. You're not the one I wanted to hurt," I plead. My voice is shaking.
"Then my ally is the one you wanted to hurt? Do you think I'll let you?" Nag iinit na ang mga mata ko.
"Please, you don't know anything." Mahinang Sabi ko na sapat lang para marinig nya.
"And so? Carpio is my ally, It's my responsibility not to drag him down." I gripped the gun tighter at his words.
"But you're willing to drag me down? Kill me? Like i'm someone you never met?!" I hissed.
He stayed silent for a moment before speaking, "Oh, how I wish didn't meet you."
Tuluyan bumagsak ang mga luha ko, Mas lalong bumigat ang dibdib ko.
"You're my fucking enemy, you killed my friends who's so much important to me. And you're assuming that I won't seek revenge? That's bullshit." Mariin nitong Sabi, bakas sa boses nya ang galit.
My gaze softened, naibaba ko ang pagkatutok ko ng baril sakanya. "I'm sorry."
Napayuko ako.
I remember how many organizations I took down in Sylvester Bor Mafia organization, some of the bosses are his friends.
I just realized now, I took the people who's important to him.
Yet I assumed that he won't hurt me just because he love me?
Does he even love me?
"You're already defeated, why don't you back down?" I clenched my fist at his words.
"Defeated? Back down? Don't tell what to do, for fuck sake." I glared at him.
"Why? Aren't you Like that? Taking orders from your boss and then you're gonna do it, what's the difference than telling you what to do?" He sarcastically said.
"Get out of my way vlad, or I'll ruin you too." Madiin kong Sabi.
He didn't flinched his gaze remained Cold and dangerous, "Go ahead."
"Get out my way, you're out of this." Malamig kong Saad sakanya.
"You think I'll let you? Even if it requires to burn down the world with you in it just to stop you, i'll do it." His jaw hardened.
How can he pretend I'm someone he never met?
"Now choose, leave this place or you will die here?" His voice was intimidating, cold.
Is this the ruthless mafia boss I've heard about? Not the gentle man I've met and fell inlove with?
I took a stepped back, if I die his child will die too.
I don't want that to happen, this child deserved to see the world.
It's innocent.
I left that place, he didn't chase me. He didn't stop me.
He let me walked away from him.
Without any hesitation in his eyes, without any regret. His eyes full of anger.
"Are you okay?" Lumingon ako kay delta.
"Yeah," I sighed heavily.
We're currently at the balcony, all of us.
I'm leaning against the railing, looking at the city lights view.
"What's your plan Maeve?" Alpha asked.
"I'm gonna raise this child without him," I said without looking away at the view.
There's no choice, he won't see his child ever again.
Letting me go means letting go of our child.
You gave me enough punishment and I will give your punishment back.
"You're not alone in this Maeve, you got us." Lota seriously said.
"Yeah, we're gonna help you raising that child." Epsilon said.
This team never disappoint me, I'm glad I'm their leader.
"Anong we're? Ikaw nalang para kapag nagkita ulit sila ikaw nalang tututukan ng baril." Nakangising Saad ni alpha kay epsilon.
Pero minsan talaga ay hindi ko kinakaya ang mga kalokohan nila.
"Tangina mo ba? Bakit magpapakita ba sya?" Malutong na asik ni epsilon at binato ng buto ng manok.
Katatapos lang kasi namin kumain at fried chicken ang ulam namin.
"Malay mo diba, expect the unexpected?" Taas noong Saad ni alpha at binato pabalik kay epsilon ang buto ng manok ngunit nailagan iyon ni epsilon at tumama kay lota na nasa likod ni epsilon.
"Aray!" Daing ni lota at masamang tinitigan si alpha.
"Hoy, hindi ako yan." Tinuro nya si epsilon na parang bata.
"Tanga ka pre, bakit mo kasi binabato? Tinatanim yan Bobo." Malutong na Sabi ni lorde kay alpha.
Napasapo ako sa noo ko at si Delta naman ay napakamot sa noo nya.
"Tanga, Bakit mo itatanim? Sinto sinto ka ba?" Asik ni epsilon kay lorde.
"Kulang kulang lang yan," pilosopong Saad ni alpha.
"Bobo, ganito kasi yan. Diba ang buto ng halaman tinatanim?" Saad ni lorde.
"Oh?" Si alpha at epsilon.
"Edi dapat Yung buto ng manok dapat tinatanim din para tumubo diba? Gets? Di kayo nag iisip." Napahilot ako sa sintido ko.
Potangina talaga.
"Itlog din ba tutubo don?" Kunot noong tanong ni epsilon.
Pota, etong mga to? Makakasama ng anak ko lumaki?
Ano to, sumpa?
"Hindi, ang tawag don. The chicken plant." Saad ni lorde.
Napailing na lamang kami ni delta, wala na talagang pag isa to.
Binatukan sya ni lota at dumaing ito, "ang dami mong pera hindi mo magawang bumili ng utak."
Nagsi tawanan si alpha at epsilon, napanguso naman si lorde na parang bata.
Sakanilang lahat talaga ay si lorde ang puro kalokohan.
"Ang boring, wala ba pwedeng gawin?" Saad ni delta.
"Videoke tayo." Suggestion ni lorde.
"Tangina mo, wag na."
