I'm on A Gangster World [ON-GOING]

Chapter 27: Darkest Fall

Third Person's P.O.V

Lahat ay abala sa pagtulong sa gagamitin ni Ezekiel except for Maxwell, Shanella and Krystalia who are staring blankly at Ezekiel. No one tries to speak, no one tries to ask, they are all quiet, keeping themselves from talking.

"Stop staring at me like that. Goddamnit" Ezekiel uttered when he noticed how they look at him.

With that, Krystalia sighs heavily and choose to leave them inside and freshen herself, as if it would freshen her mind. Tomorrow is the day she is afraid of. Hindi sa wala siyang tiwala sa katatagan ni Ezekiel but it is 'mafia' that we are talking about here. Hindi madali iyon, nanggaling sila sa ganitong group lang, kung may nalalaman man sila tungkol sa mafia ay iilan lang.

"I'm sorry for making you worried" bigla ay may nagsalita sa likod niya. The voice of a man she is worried for.

"Hindi ba talaga pwedeng isama mo kami sa misyon mong 'yan? You can do it better with us" masama ang loob na wika ni Krystalia. Hindi na niya inabala ang sarili para harapin si Ezekiel. Nakatingin lang siya sa kawalan habang sinasabi iyon.

"The situation is too serious to bear, I don't want you all to be involved with this" wika ni Ezekiel pagkatapos niyang tumikhim. Umirap sa kawalan si Krystalia, she knows she can't do anything but let him. Alam na alam niyang wala ng makakapigil kay Ezekiel.

Namayani ang katahimikan sa pagitan nila. Wala ng isinagot pa si Krystalia dahil baka kapag sumagot pa siya ay mag-away lang sila. Even if it hurts her to know that Ezekiel will risk his life for being a legal mafia, she can't do anything but let it. Anong karapatan niya? Desisyon iyon ni Ezekiel, hindi sakaniya. Besides, Ezekiel has a valid reason for doing things like this.

"Come on, let's have our dinner" yaya nalang ni Krystalia. She can't bear the moment, she can't even look into Ezekiel's beautiful eyes. The surreal and worried feeling surrounds her whole body.

Pumasok siya kasama si Ezekiel sa loob ng secret place, sa hapagkainan ay halatang pinipilit nilang maging normal ang usapan. Halata din na iniiwasan nilang pag-usapan ang mangyayari kay Ezekiel bukas, it's not that they tend to think that Ezekiel will die but his mission might kill him— there's a big possibility. They're sure of that.

"This house will still be as clean as I expected when I came back idiots" wika ni Ezekiel na kinatahimik nila pero binawi din at unang tumawa si Lamperouge, sinundan ito ng iba pa na halatang nagpipilit lang ng tawa.

Only Shanella, Maxwell and ofcourse Krystalia can't hide their real reactions. Pare-pareho silang tahimik at nakamasid lang. Nang matapos ang dinner nila ay tumunog ang phone ni Ezekiel, showing his sister's name.

He sighed heavily and calm his self. He needs to act normal like nothing will happen tomorrow. "Hello my princess" malambing na bati niya. He sat on his swivel chair na nasa kwarto nila ni Maxwell at pinaikot iyon.

[Kuya! Good evening hehe. Kumain ka na?] lahat ng sakit at pag-aalala ni Ezekiel ay bumuhos ulit. Hearing his sister's cute laugh and sweet voice. It goddamn hurts him.

Isa lang ang nasa isip niya sa pagkakataong 'yon. He have to keep his self alive. He needs to come back healthy and kicking, for his sister, his princess. He shouldn't be killed.

"Yes my princess. How about you?" tanong niya sa kapatid na nasa kabilang linya.

[Yes kuya! I missed you so much! Lagi kang mag-iingat ha? Idadala mo pa ako sa paris e. Hmp]

Sa pagkakataong iyon ay may lumandas na isang takas na butil ng luha sa pisngi ni Ezekiel. No one see his emotions, his feelings behind his unbearable attitude. Only him can determine what he is feeling right now. Vulnerable. That's what he is right now.
