Chapter 72

"No, inside this plane I got accurate knowledge about the asteroid, its movement, the speed and all as well as the capability of this plane. It's my job, I am the Commander of this mission."

Pedro said firmly, in his authoritative tone.

Just like before, we all went in silence. Graham Bell and Commander Sanders stared at Pedro blankly.

Of course, who would disobey the Commander's order? Yes, Sanders also have the position but in this mission it's Pedro who has the greatest power.

Sa kanya ang misyong ito at kaming tatlo ay kanyang mga katulong lamang. We're just here to support his decision and actions.

We were obliged to follow Peter's command.

Kailan ba ako huling ginamitan ni Pedro ng awtoridad? Napakatagal na at hindi ko akalaing muli niyang gagamitin ito.

"P-Peter, what are you talking about? Just like that? How about me? Can't you hear your words?" I weakly asked him.

Hindi ba at sinabi niya sa akin na lalaban kami? He promised me. Then what's with his words now?

I knew that this isn't the right time to talk about us, hindi na ito tungkol sa amin ni Pedro, kundi tungkol na ito sa buong mundo.

But I can't help it, ang takot ko ay nagsisimula nang umapaw.

Mukhang nakukuha ko na ang pinaglalaban ng UASA tungkol sa relasyon, there's a instance that love might hinders their people's right decision making.

"P-Peter," halos magmakaawa ang boses ko para lumingon lang siya sa akin.

Kusang umangat ang aking kamay para hawakan ang kanyang braso. Pero hindi ko pa man siya nahahawakan ay pinigilan na ako ng kanyang kamay.

"Behati, listen." His eyes softened for a moment, pero agad din itong nawala bago niya ibaba ang kamay ko.

Humarapan rin siya sa dalawang lalaking nanunuod lamang sa amin.

"We should proceed now," tumango si Graham Bell at Commander Sanders.

Nagmadali nang bumalik si Graham Bell at Commander Sanders na bumalik sa kanilang mga pwesto.

Dito ako hinarap nang maayos ni Pedro, he held my face and look straight into my eyes.

"I'm sorry baby, but I need your cooperation. This is our mission, our hardship and everything will just turn into ashes if we do not lay our every card. But look, we are trying, we are fighting but just like Graham Bell said if this didn't—"

"It will WORK! It will damn work Commander!" hindi ko na pinatapos ang kanyang sasabihin.

"Yes, that's my Behati." Marahang ngumiti sa akin si Pedro. He pulled me close to him and he softly claimed my lips.

Sabay kaming tumango sa isa't-isa bago kami naghiwalay. I went directly to my seat near Graham Bell. While Pedro stayed standing watching the continuous movement of data coming from the satellite.

"Should we wait for the UASA?" Commander Sanders asked.

"No, should take our actions now. We can't waste time just waiting." Sagot ni Pedro.

Nanatili kaming nakikinig ni Graham Bell, we're just waiting for Pedro's command.

We're just hearing the continuous tapping from the hologram monitor until we finally got a video signal from UASA.

"What's the situation Commander Armstrong?" one from the intelligence team asked.

"Terrible," tipid na sagot ni Pedro.
