Tourney of Beguiling (North Series #2: Fausea)

Chapter 34

Hindi ko maiwasang maiyak habang nakaupo. The people around me is not helping lalo na si Rhyno at Archer na palakad-lakad habang nag-uusap.

Kung ibang pagkakataon ay ayaw ko silang kasama sa iisang lugar.

Nandito silang lahat. The Ponferrada Clan.

Para siguro alamin kung nagsasabi ako ng totoo. Wala na akong pakealam sa tingin nila.

I can see from my pheriperal vision na pinag-uusapan ako ni Deb at ang Ina nito.

"Julius, can I borrow a gadget? Gusto ko lang malaman ang lagay ng mga anak ko." I pleaded nang dumaan ito sa aking harapan.

He look hesitant at sumulyap muna kay Rhyno na nakamasid pala. He nodded, kaya binigay sa akin ng head bodyguard and isang phone.

My hands trembled searching for the wildfire in Lahaina.

I gasped and contained my sobs as I saw the fire fastly consuming the whole place. May mga tumatalon na sa dagat and all that. I tried searching for the resort that I was working but it was also burned to ashes. Mas lalo akong kinabahan dahil malapit lang doon ang tinutuluyan ng mga anak ko ngayon.

"We can't land to Kapalua Airport right now, Rhyno." His uncle said.

Rhyno's jaw clenched. He walked out, nang madaanan niya ako ay saglit niya akong sinamaan ng tingin bago nagtuloy-tuloy sa isang private room.

I saw Archer chasing fleet glances to his cousin, worry is evident.

We landed in Honululu after an almost eleven hour direct flight. Hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos.

Armed men were everywhere nang bumaba kami.

Ni walang sumusulyap sa akin. Kahit noong papasakay kami sa limousine.

"What are their names? My men are searching every evacuation sight right now." Rhyno strictly asked.

Napayuko ako. "Fauna and R-Rhysea Lorenzo."

I saw how he gulped his emotions away nang sabihin ko ang pangalan ng kambal. His family gasped upon mentioning Rhysea. I caught Deb's attention, nang lingunin ko ay nag-iwas ito ng tingin.

Nangilid ang luha sa aking mata. "I also have a baby boy, his name is Beath."

"Akala ko ba dalawa lang ang anak niyo ni Rhyno?" Pia Ponferrada asked.

Umiling ako. "I have three kids."

Ramdam ko ang bigat ng tingin nila. Rhyno stared at me intensely as if wanting to point something.

I don't need to explain myself to them.

But as my girls' father, Rhyno has the right to know. Other information does not concern them at all.

We stopped in a helipad of a big mansion. Tatlo ang gamit naming chopper dahil para na rin sa mga tauhan nila. Of course, the whole clan is here.

Hindi mawala ang aking kaba habang nasa himpapawid, I could see the whole Island right now... also the smoke from the island of Maui.

Nang magland sa Kapalua ay may nakaparada agad na mga sasakyan.

"Where are we going?" I asked when I saw na papaliko kami sa isang daan at hindi diretso sa Lahaina.

Pinagmasdan ko ang sasakyan nila Rhyno na diretso ang sibad habang itong sinasakyan namin ni Deb at Tita Pia ay lumiko.

"Sila na ang bahala, hija. Let's wait here." Pia Ponferrada calmly replied as we enter the premises of a luxurious beach house.
