In The Midst Of Chaos (ON-GOING) ADULT SERIES #1

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Akill stayed by my side while I was still in the process of recovery. Halos hindi na siya pumapasok sa trabaho. Ngunit napag-alaman ko na pansamantala ay si Lester ang pumalit sa kaniya sa kompanya.

I became curious because, out of all the people, why does he trust Lester so much-even though it's his parents' company? I mean, we can't easily trust someone with something we cherish the most, right? Unless, Lester did something in the past that made him have such a great amount of trust in him.

I want to ask Akill about this, but I don't want to rush him. He should learn to trust me like how he trusts Lester. I mean, yes, he trusts me, but the trust I have gained from Akill is nothing compared to the level of trust he gave to Lester.

I want to know Akill better . . . Not just because I'm curious, but because I love him.

Isn't that how love works? You should learn to know the person you love. Not just because you want to satisfy your curiosity or feed your assumptions, but because you genuinely want to understand them, learn about them, and get to know them better.

"Liele, ito yung mga lessons na diniscuss nang wala ka, I made it as PDF file para 'wag na maging hassle sa pagsulat. I even made a slideshow of some questions na possible lumabas sa exam na isesend sayo via Gmail. I-check mo na lang ulit dito sa flashdrive kung talagang gumagana. Kumuha na rin ako ng modules mo. And don't worry, ako na rin ang magpapasa niyan. Pero by next week, hindi na raw modules ang ibibigay sayo, kasi nakausap ko na ang mga subject teacher natin na via online na lang raw sila magsesend ng lessons sayo."

George placed the modules and the flashdrive on the center table before he walked towards me. Napangiti naman ako habang pinapanood siyang gawin iyon.

Akill went on the mansion para kumuha ng mga gamit at magpalit kaya tanging si George lang ang kasama ko ngayon. Gano'n naman palagi, uuwi lang siya kapag kukuha ng gamit o hindi kaya ay kinakailangan niya talagang pumunta ng opisina. Lalo na kapag may meeting na kailangang siya ang kaharap ng board of directors.

I can see how stressed he is, halos palaging maitim ang ilalim ng kaniyang mata dahil sumabay pa ang kasong isinampa niya laban kina Irine at ibang mga involved pa rito. Hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa rin ang daloy ng hiring. Akill even found out na isa ang magulang nila Irine na nagtatrabaho sa kanilang kompanya at inalisan niya ito ng trabaho. Although, I want to contravenes his decision, tama lang siguro 'yon para matauhan sila- that what they did was serious. Lalo pa at parehong nanganib ang buhay namin ni George sa ginawa nilang iyon.

They should face the consequences of what they've done.

"George, thank you." saad ko nang maupo siya sa tabi ko.

George's recovery was fast, probably because the damage he sustained wasn't that serious. But still, we're both victims in their hands. Whether big or small, they need to pay, especially since both our lives were put at risk.

"Ano ka ba, wala 'yon."

I bit my lower lip. "Alam kong marami ka ring ginagawa, sorry."

Naguguilty ako, because I felt like I'm being a burden to everyone. Because of my condition right now, dumadagdag pa ako sa responsibilididad niya- gayong marami siyang ginagawa. I should be thankful dahil kahit gano'n, nagagawa niya pa rin akong mai-singit
