Datum 9 : Resignation Letter

Napatingin ako sakanya as he then stared back at me seriously.

"Attempting to trespass on Xavierheld's minor territories is just a light offense sakanila. Pwede pa tayong maabswelto regarding the Mechanical Knights case dahil sa pagmamalinis mo. They will be considering it as a minor offense and will not pay their full attention to us. Therefore malaki ang posibildad na isusuko lang nila tayo ulit sa mga tunay na humahawak ng kaso natin, walang iba kundi ang mga inutil na Galactic Police Forces." he narrated.

"Xavierheld wont give a damn regarding small issues. Ibang usapan na if we touched their officials. Just imagine, kuya, if nasa kamay tayo ng GPF? Ipapatapon tayo ng mga inutil na yun sa Niflheim Space Prisons somewhere banda sa hindi malamang lugar sa mga tigyawat ng buwan!" he continued with his eyebrows greatly fused. 

"Imagine living on a 10 x 10 cell with stinky urine-like smell all over the place. Idagdag mo pa ang mga amoy ng naghahalong pawis at dugyot ng mga mukhang huklubang mga kriminal."

"I mean look!!! could you survive that living hell where in fact you can be a prisoner who lives in a fully furnished cell with the smell of fresh and crisp pine air perfume. Free food for 3 times a day plus snacks? Clean toilets? and also Consider that we have Ielvy with us. Ghad damn it kuya, paganahin mo naman yang kokote mo.." 

Tuluyang humiwalay ang aking kilay nang matanto kong tama nga naman sila. Napatingin ako kay Ielvy na halos mangiyak ngiyak sa takot sa kabilang selda. Napabuntong hininga ako.

"You're right, Ivann. Mas pipiliin ko namang makulong sa ganitong lugar, well at least, knowing that the both of you are safe." I said as I sat on my mattress.

Napabalikwas kami nang tingin nang marinig namin ang pagbukas ang main door mula sa may tabi. Agad akong napatayo as I excitedly rushed through the rails hoping to see our dinner being served.

Hindi nga ako nagkamali as the food trolley then arrived. But to my dismay, mukhang hindi ako makaka request ng extra gravy as I saw a familiar woman that pushes the said cart.

"Mi..Miss Stella?" Ielvy with her astonished voice.

I just stood there as she served the food towards us. Oh yeah.. What was her name? Stella ba yun? She faced me with a blank stare.

"I brought you extra gravy. Gustong gusto mo raw na isabaw ung gravy sabi ng cook eh." She said na lubos na nagpagulat sakin. That sneaky b*st*rd cook.

Maigi niyang inabot sakin ang tray at dahan dahang naglakad upang kunin ang isang automatic rotating steel stool.

She just placed the stool in front of our cells and sat there as she started to observe us eating. What the hell.. a little privacy please?

"Please don't mind me. Please eat.." She softly said as my other companions began to eat as if they weren't fed a century. Napabuntong hininga ako.

"What had brought you here, Stella babe..? Are you waiting for the effect of the poison you had put into my food?" I said na lubos na ikinagulat ni Ivann.

"Kuya naman!" he whispered at napailing nang mapangiti si Stella.

"Being so doubtful eh? ay nako.. malalaman lang natin yan pag nangisay at nagsimula nang bumula ang bibig ko." with her annoyed tone at inabot ang kutsarang hawak ko.

Agad siyang kumuha ng kapiraso ng aking rice at gulay at walang panamang kinain ito, sabay balik ng kutsara saking tray leaving me speechless.

She then swallows it as her eyebrows raised. Napasipol ako sa tuwa.

"Damn.. you really leave me breathless." I said as I put my spoon in my mouth and began to eat.

"So tell me, do the three of you happen to be related to each other?" she then asked.
