"World news, the whole center city of Portugal, is totally in chaos right now. According to the authority these massive destructions is, again,attributed to Mafia ---"
Before the news anchor can finished her statement, he already turned off the TV at napasandal sa swivel chair niya tapos tumingin sa tauhan niya.
"Now, its the Antinovi. And just like the De Luna, all of them were wiped out when they refused to join them." Anas ng tauhan nya tapos may nilapag itong itim na folder sa harapan ko,"That's the only information I can get."
Mabilis na binuklat ko ito, "Okay, contact Thomas immediately and warn him. If he ask for support send some Hawks to assist them." Utos ko while studying all the informations he gathered.
Tumango naman ang huli bago ito tuluyang umalis ng silid. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan ang mga nakasulat sa report. It's crystal clear that the Moirs is solidifying its foundation more, by trying to amass more power through forcing neutral party to side them before giving Zyralkire a lethal blow.
So far, they almost gotten control half of it and the only remaining Houses that are left, are now under my Famiglia. Thus, the next few days is very crucial. I just hope they agree with the negotiations I sent them. Just thinking of it makes my head hurt kaya napahilot na lang ako sa sentido ko.
"Will your plan work with them?"
Napatingin ako sa nagsalita at hindi na nagulat nang makita ko ang asawa ko, whose comfortably leaning against the door frame.
"Honestly? I'm not sure." sagot ko samantalang marahan naman itong napatango tapos tinungo nito ang isang couch sa gilid tapos prenteng umupo duon.
Tahimik ko lang itong pinapanuod. I can't help but feel burdened. Ito kasi ang naiipit sa sitwasyon namin. She might be calm on the outside, but I know she's having a hard time. Alam kong sa loob loob nito gusto nitong tulungan ang Zyralkire. However, she knew she cannot. She's now part of Fuirma Famiglia, a neutral party. And no matter what happen, we will never side to anyone.
"Do you have any back up plan in case they both reject your proposal?" Pagkaraa'y tanong nito dahilan para matigil ako sa iniisip ko.
Napabuntong hininga ko, "I --" ngunit di ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko ng biglang may maramdaman akong pamilyar na presensya.
Mabilis na napatingin ako kay Dama at tulad ko ay mabilis na naging alerto din ito. Pagkaraa'y biglang bumukas ang pinto...
"It's been a long time..." wika ng bagong dating tapos pinasadahan kami ng tingin tsaka bahagyang ngumiti.
"W-What are you doing here?" Gulat at kinakabahang wika ko.
Ngunit imbes na sagutin ako ay mabilis na nilipat ang tingin nito kay Dama at marahang sinuri nito ang kabuuan nito making my wife uncomfortable.
"Mama." Seryosong tawag ko dito dahilan para mapunta sakin ang atensyon nito, "What are you doing here?"
"Well...to see if everything is okay." Kibit balikat na wika nito tapos muli naman itong tumingin kay Dama dahilan para makaramdam ako ng kakaiba.
"How are you, dear? I hope you're not having too much stress with what's happening now." Pagkaraa'y tanong ni Mama kay Dama.
I feel something fishy...at di maiwasang magsalubong ang kilay. There something going on na tila itong dalawang taong nasa harapan ko lang ang nakakaalam.
"What is going here?" Ako
Pansin kong medyo natigilan si Dama at medyo namutla pa.
"You haven't told him yet?" pagkaraa'y kunot-noong wika ni Mama.

الأكشن'FEAR' The word that I'd hate the most a very LONG LONG time ago. But as time passed by, it became like a drug that makes me so HIGH together with BLOOD AND DEATH. A not so ordinary story of Underworld. P.S. I do not own this cover just saw it onlin...
