Downfall Of The Badass

Chapter 28: The King Has Arrived

Kumakain sa isang malapit na restaurant sina Ty at Laurice ng tanghaling iyon habang isang nurse muna ang sandaling naiwan sa ina nito.

"I've heard about JT. Is Tita Marga alright?" ani naman ni Ty

"I guess so...but...but I know she blames herself too..." malungkot namang sagot ni Laurice

"She'll be fine baby...she's strong..." ani naman ni Ty

"I know...but JT...I can see right through his eyes...all the pain and hatred inside him..." ani naman ni Laurice

"He'll come around baby...maybe not now but he will. You're the only sister he have in this world..." ani naman ni Ty na naalala ang sariling kapatid.

"I don't know...who knows..." ani naman ni Laurice pero hindi na nakasagot pa si Ty.

Kitang kita ni Laurice kung paano ito natulala sa t.v na masa harapan niya.

Reporter: Kasalukuyang po kaming nag aabang dito ngayon sa NAIA terminal 3 para sa pagdating nina King Andrei ang Queen Shanice sa bansa na kalalapag lang ng eroplanong sinakyan nila.

Reporter: King Andrei! What brings you here in the Philippines without any prior notice?"

"I came here to bring someone back. Back on his true home and back on who really is." simpleng sagot ni Andrei na seryosong seryoso saka naglakad na palavas ng airport.

"Ty? Are you alright? " tanong naman ni Laurice na tila nagpabalik kay Ty sa kasalukuyan.

"Yeah...yeah....sorry... Are you done eating?" tanong naman ni Ty

"Yeah...what's wrong...?" nag aalalang tanong naman ni Laurice

"Nothing... I just need to be back in the office...I forgot that I have an important meeting..." ani naman ni Ty

"Is that so, let's go then...I can just take a cab so you can go straight to the office..." ani naman ni Laurice

"No, I'll drop you in the hospital before I go to the office." ani naman ni Ty na tila balisa pa rin.

"If you say so.. " ani naman ni Laurice kahit nagtataka ito.

On the way to the hospital ay tinawagan na agad ni Ty si Lex.

"Lex, where are you?" ani naman ni Ty

"I'm in the conference room juat wrapping up the meeting. Why?" ani naman ni Lex.

"I'll be there in 15 I need you in my office. And...and call Devon." ani naman ni Ty na ibinaba na ang tawag.

Nang makarating sa ospital ay hinalikan pa ni Ty ang dalaga bago nagpaalam dito.

Nang makarating sa opisina si Ty ay naroon na sina Lex at Devon.

"What is so urgent that you have to call me out of my free time with my daughter?" ani naman ni Devon

"Lex, play the breaking news about 30 minutes ago." ani naman ni Ty.

"What about it?" ani naman ni Lex.

"Just play it." ani naman ni Ty.

Agad namang nahanap ni Lex ang sinasabi ni Ty at ipinlay iyon.

"What the hell? He's here..." ani naman ni Devon ng makita ang palabas.

"Shit! What are you gonna do? Your brother is here." ani naman ni Lex.

"The fuck I dunno..." ani naman ni Ty.

"I guess you're up for a mess Ty." ani naman ni Devon

"He's gonna be looking for me." ani naman ni Ty na napasandal sa kanyang swivel chair.
