A Puzzle From The Past (finished)

~CHAPTER 5~

~ALEXA POV~

since the day Belle visited Hiro at the mall, he has been acting weird

"is he okay?" i asked Val then drank my Fanta

since that day, me and Val became more close mostly because Val wants to make hiro jealous, but we help each other with our problems as well

"well i heard in ten years ikakasal sila ni Belle, and its making him lose his mind" he said while continuing playing his game

i spat out my drink in shock

"yow what the hell!!" Marcus yelled

"yow..." Jm mocked Marcus "...Language"

i was stopping myself from coughing when Val picked me up bridal style and went out of the hq

when he let go of me outside of hq i looked at him "dude ano problema mo, bakit mo ako binuhat ng bridal style"

He shrugged "nakatingin si Hiro ehh"

he then went inside the squad car like nothing happened "sira ulo"

~VAL POV~

The truth is hindi si Hiro ang nakatingin... another person was looking at how i held her, i never knew that i will fall inlove with my own colleague

i left my game to make her jealous but nothing happened, before i exited the room i looked back at her laughing with the others

~HIRO POV~

"ikakasal na nga sa bruha tas sa iba pa kinikilig si Alex" I whispered to myself

"may sinasabi ka?" Jerick asked

i looked at him "wala... teka!, bakit ka nandito?"

he paused his chewing, looked at me then ran for his dear life

i ran after him while yelling at him

"kanina pa ako nagdadrama don tapos nakikinig ka pala!!, hayop ka!!... patay ka saken pag naabutan kita!!"

the others were just laughing at his missery

"sabi namin sayo wag mo lilikutin yan pag nag dadrama ehh" Kelly yelled

"malay ko bang hindi ka nagbibiro" he ran outside of the hq

And all of us were just laughing at how miserable he looks while running away from Hiro

~ALEXA POV~

As always Val brought me to the Mall again, but this time he has his reasons

"bakit nga ulit tayo nasa mall?" i asked walking beside him

"cause someone is here, someone who wants to meet you" Val said looking straight at the girl wearing a bright red dress

we both approached her, Val looked her straight in the eyes while i look at her up and down

'she looks so familiar'

"you are indeed trustworthy Val Austria" she talked to Val with a familiar smirked plastered on her face

"indeed, Belle Ichika Yoshioka"

i was just in shock to see her right infront of me, wearing a very beautiful and expensive looking dress, heels... and bodyguards surrounding her

"is she the famous Heir of the Takahashi Company and the person my Hiro fell in love with"

she looked at me up and down "leave us Val, if you say anything about this to Hiro... your cousin dies"

Val walked away quietly

i looked at Val then back at Belle"his cousin dies??, What the h-"

she placed her finger on my mouth "oh honey, let's not destroy that tiny bit of innocence left in your mind"

i slapped her hand away from me "ano ba kelangan mo saken"

she smirked "simple, stay away from Hiro... he is going to be my husband in Ten years and I don't want anyone ruining it, not even a plain looking girl like you"

"this plain looking girl can kill you with no hesitation, and you are just a cash whore" i replied back trying to stop my devil from coming out

she walked closer to me, making no space between us "and this cash whore can kill your bestfriend's cousin within a split second"

i froze, "gusto mong layuan ko si Hiro, then i will"

"oh honey thats too easy, i also want you to tell him that you hate him with all your heart and to stop being your mafia partner"

how the hell would i do that, akala siguro neto magical ako eh

"fine i will, i will even persuade him to be your husband if you want" i said not thinking and just realized what i said after I told her

she smirked "one wrong move and i will kill Val's cousin"

"you are a demon"

"thanks for the compliment, i loved it" she then walked away

"ano naman kaya ang gagawin ko ngayon"

Val ran to me "Krystal, im sorry... i didnt know what to do"

"its fine Val, it's your cousin's life on the line... I completely understand"

he looked at me weirdly "you do"

i smiled at him "of course not you asshole... bakit naman kase sinunod mo"

"teka, ikaw may sabi its my cousin's life on the line diba" he argued back

"eh pwede naman natin syang iligtas ahh, takot naman yon kay Hiro eh, ano ka baaaa" i argued with him

we argued all the way back to the hq, we only stopped when i was about to drop the bomb to Hiro

~HIRO POV~

"uy Hiro" Val approached me

"uyy par, san ka galing?" i asked him

He looked hesitant but answered "sa mall lang may hinanap lang ako, BTW... samahan ko naman si Alexa sa rooftop may aayusin lang ako"

"oh ok"

i walked out of our room, to the elevator the. to the rooftop

"alone time with Alex lodi"

i saw her sitting at the rooftop bench so i approached her

"Hey Alex"

"oh hey... uhm, do you... ahm... do you like me?" she asked out of nowhere

"ahm, yeah, medyo" i answered with a smile

"well, i hate you... so leave me alone"

she then ran out of the rooftop and left me hanging here
