“OHH! SI DOLION! WAHH yey pumunta ka! Ako pinuntahan mo hmm?” masaya kong sigaw-sigaw at dinaganan s'ya ng yakap. I cling on his shoulder and swayed myself together with him. He sweetly smiled and patted my head that made me chuckle.
“Yes, I came to see you. Dali na't ihahatid na kita.” Dolion told me and pinched my cheek.
Sa susunod huwag ka uminom nang marami kapag wala ako. Sino mag-aalaga n'yan sayo? Ikaw talaga, ang kulit mo!” Dolion nagged and I pouted.
“Kakakita lang natin ulit inaaway mo na ako.”
“I miss you!” I said while pouting. He then carried me on his arms. I wrapped my arms around her neck and buried my face on his neck.
“I was dying to see you, everyday without you was a torture for me.” Dolion whispered and kissed my forehead.
“I'm sorry for what I said that night. I'm sorry for everything! I was so harsh. I'm sorry... Forgive me, please?” I cried on his neck.
“It's fine, princess. It's very fine. I'm so sorry for what I did to. I regretted everything.” Dolion hissed and kissed my forehead again.
“I love you!” said his manly voice.
SHE FELT LIKE HER HEAD WAS hammered when she woke up.
“A-Aray!” daing n'ya at napahawak sa ulo dahil sa sakit. She sat down on the bed and looked around. Jayla was still deep asleep in her side. Suddenly, Jairus came in with a food trey in his hand. It has a steaming hot chicken soup together with a hangover pill and water.
“Here!” Jairus said and placed the food trey in the bedside table.
“Salamat, Jai!”
“Don't mention it. Kainin mo na 'yan habang mainit pa. Inomin mo rin yang gamot, okay?”
“Opo, papa.” Anica said with a smile.
“Tsk! Sige na, ihahanda ko pa yung kay Jayla. Kanina pa gising si Meghan eh.” pagpapaalam ni Jairus at palabas na.
“Jai!” tawag ni Anica rito at agad naman itong napalingon.
“Hmm?”
Anica pressed her mouth shut and sighed. She looked at him and awkwardly smile, “Did Dolion came?”
Jairus brows furrowed and shook his head.
“He didn't. Why?”
“Ahh! Wala lang natanong ko lang. Sige na, alis kana shoo!” Saad ni Anica at inis s'yang tiningnani ni Jairus bago pa ito umalis nang tuluyan.
Anica deeply sighed when Jairus went out. She fakely smiled and whispered to herself, “So that was just a dream.”
But why does his touch felt so real? Why does those words feels so sincere?
Anica bit her lower lip and shrugged her thoughts off.
You hurt him, and his right I swallowed my words, so, I don't have the rights to demand. No matter what, I'm also at fault.
She took her spoon and started eating the soup with a heavy feeling. Though, she needs to be tough since they have things to do and finish after all.
AFTER TWO DAYS, they all went to the hospital to see the attackers. They're all conscious. One of them doesn't looks so well, though.
“Kalisto Almirez, former driver ng gobernador, nagtrabaho sa kanya nang mahigit limang taon. You were arrested after you were caught together with 3 other men, transporting drugs to the other city. The police incharge wasn't also the governor's party. This time, you got caught for attacking us after a week that the governor's found out what we did. Sa tingin mo ba ay nagkataon lang lahat ng nangyari?” pagsalaysay ni Jairus na nakaupo sa tabi ng
“A-Ano ba pinagsaaabi mo r'yan?!” sigaw ni Kalisto.
“Umamin nalang kayo. Kasi tatagal at tatagal, malalaman din namin kung sino nagpadala sa inyo. Kung hindi si Gobernador, edi sino?” Anica hissed.
“Una sa lahat, hindi kami nagkaroon ng interaksyon sa inyo. Pangalawa, lahat kayo ay mga naging driver ng gobernador. Higit sa lahat, sa susunod siguraduhin n'yong burner phone ang gamitin n'yo kapag gumagawa ng ilegal na tawag.” Anica took a cellphone inside her pocket and played an audio.
“Ito bang tatlong ito, sir?” tinig ng isang lalaki.
“Oo!” sagot naman ng tinig ng gobernador.
“Gawin mo na ang pinaggagawa ko.” saad nito at agad natapos ang awdyo.
Gulat at tamlay na nakatingin ang kriminal sa kanila at hindi alam ang sasabihin, kahit ganoon lang ang hawak na ibedensya nila ay yari sila rito.
“Sa katangahan n'yo, hindi mo namalayang on-record ang tawag kaya't nasave ito sa device mo. At baka hindi mo alam na may ganitong bagay kaya't hindi mo binigyang pansin ang call history mo, tama ba?” taas kilay na sambit ni Anica at huminga ng malalim.
“Sabi mo sa tawag ay tatlong tao! Tatlong tao ang pinag-usapan n'yo at may pinapagawa sayo ang gobernador. Huwag mo sabihin saking nagkataon lang ding inatake mo ang tatlong kaibigan ko roon?”
“Unang-una, gusto n'yong ipalabas na aksidenti ang mangyayari kaya pinaandar nyo ang trak na walang driver at binangga n'yo sa basement namin. Pagkatapos noon ay pumasok kayo sa loob at ich-check sana kung patay na sila ngunit sa kasamaang palad para sa inyo, buhay si Jairus at nakipag-away kayo sa kanya. Pero dahil sa lisensyado s'yang gumamit ng baril at isang self-defence ang ginawa n'ya, may karapatan s'yang labanan kayo. Sa kabilang banda, sa mata man ng batas o ng tao, halatang kayo ang may dapat pagbayaran.”
Anica sighed and stood up. She looked at him sternly and said, “Sa ngayon, hindi pa namin makukuha ang gobernador dahil hindi ganoon kalonaw at hindi ma-kribilidad ang ibendesyang ito pero sisiguraduhin naming makukulong kayo at ang gobernador na iyon.”
“Tara na, Jairus. Kailangan pa natin asikasuhin ang kasong isasampa natin sa kanila.” mapanakot na saad ni Anica at agad na kumaripas palabas ng ward.
“Kalma, puso mo n'yan, Nic!” natatawang sambit ni Jairus at napapailing sa subrang mainitin ng ulo ni Anica.
“Nakita mo na 'yong mga ebidensya na pwede nating gamitin para kay governador. Kailangan nalang natin ng malakas na back-up. Hindi na kailangan itong palakihin. Buhay naman kaming tatlo. Sigurado na namang makukulong ang tatlong iyon.” sambit ni Jairus at napatigil sa paglalakad si Anica. Hinarap nya si Jairus at bumuntong hininga.
“Despite of all our evidence, we can't assure that we can win this through. It's still the Governor, the more allegations, more credible evidence, more crime we could unlock, the bigger the possibility we can win this war. Kaya hindi ako titigil dito.”
Jairus nodded as a sign of agreeing to what she said and they continued to walk. When they got out the hospital, Anica's eyes encircled in shock. Someone who's so familiar and unusual to appear in front of her.
“Hi, Anica Carcueva!” the man's baritone voice.
