CHAPTER 44

Divulgence

DMITRI.

KASALUKUYAN KONG binabagtas ang madilim na kahabaan ng iskinitang walang katao-tao, 'di alintana kung gaano man kalamig ng madaling araw. Kahit na madilim, hindi ko naman kailangan pa ng ilaw, salamat sa sinag ng malaking buwan. Pasimple akong lumiko sa isang masikip na iskinita kung saan sa dulo nito ay ang antigong mansiyon na noo'y inimbestigan namin nina Major Gallente ngunit hindi ito natuloy nang bigla akong nawala.

I really had a bad feeling towards that antique mansion that time, but this time, there's no way I'd runaway again. I'll bodefully face what this mansion has for me. At kung anuman iyon, hindi ako aatras.

Ngayon pa ba ako uurong gayong nagawa ko na ito dati nang walang pag-alinlangan?

In fact, infiltrating a warehouse alone loaded with hundreds of thugs inside was barely possible. Relying on my own instinct and verdict back then was a fifty-fifty chance of success rate. But you know, I've killed one valuable person that made the warehouse thugs tumbledown. I borrowed some of their highly flammable gases on a barrel, and made a hole in it so that it would spread all throughout the warehouse. Watching outside the warehouse after my personal operation, the thugs was already struggling why their gas barrels had leaks and how should they deal with it. Before they could save the last container of their product, I lit one single match and drop it on the gasoline near my foot.

Kahit isang maliit na apoy lang ay magdudulot ng malaking pinsala.

I turned around smugly and walked victoriously as the warehouse exploded simultaneously from the back to the front, burning each and every corner of Chief Justice Gregory Solveig's illegal gas operating den.

Nang makalabas na ako sa iskinitang pinasukan ko, isang malapad na kakahuyan ang tumambad sa akin kung saan sa dulo nito ay kitang-kita na ang antigong mansiyon.

Nagtago ako sa isang puno at nagmasid sa lugar kung may taong nagbabantay ba o wala. It looks like no one was around. Hindi na ako nagdalawang-isip pang lumabas sa pinagtataguan ko at dumaan sa gate papasok.

I walked straight to the mansion door obliviously on purpose to the risk and danger I'd be facing, I held the mansion's doorknob and flung the door open.

Before I could react, a solid and heavy matter banged my head that made me unconscious.

AFTER THEY'VE successfully restrained me, Kuya Duncan and papa Donovan spend the rest of their time inside my messed up room, and talked to me.

They asked me 'why'. Why did I do it? Was it just for fun? Was it just for my own consumption? Why did I killed a valuable individual?

They asked me another question, what. What was my reason for me to execute that felony action? Because it's making me feel good? Or because I'm just too stupid to do that kind of action without thinking right?

Lahat ng mga tanong nila at mga sumunod pa ay iisa lang ang sagot ko; gusto ko silang iligtas.

Pinatay ko ang mahistradong iyon dahil hindi ko gustong pinagbabantaan nilang patayin ang ama ko. Sinunog ko ang warehouse na iyon para hindi na sila makakapagpatuloy sa kanilang ilegal na negosyo. At nagtangka akong magpakamatay dahil kinakain ako ng konsensya ko. Baka madamay ang pamilya ko kung malaman pa nila. Baka tuluyang mawawala ang pamilya ko. Mas mabuti pang mamatay ako para walang makakaalam sa nangyari at hindi na lalawak ang komplikasyon.
