BHO CAMP #3: Clash Of The Private A1

CHAPTER 5 ~ A Leader ~

"Amm..."

"Triton Lawrence!"

"Nandito ako sa isang night club sa manila. Naiwan ko siguro diyan ang bracelet-"

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa naririnig ko. "You're not supposed to take it off."

"Dawn sweetheart-"

"This is too much Triton. Ilang mga properties ang nalagay sa panganib ngayong gabi na ito. My cousin was even injured! This is your responsibility too. You know the reason why the agents were divided into two division but you're not helping even just for the sake of your own family!"

"Dawn..."

Ikinuyom ko ang mga kamay ko. Everything is too much. I won't lose another person. I won't let it happen. "Nawala sa amin si Storm. Sino ang pipiliin mo na mawala sa panig niyo?"

"What the hell, Dawn?!"

"Adonis, Athena, Hera, Hermes, Enyo, Eris, Erebus, Nyx, Ocean. Sino sa kanila ang gusto mong mawala? So you can feel the burden that you will carry once you lost someone because of your irresponsible actions."

Nararamdaman ko ang tingin sa akin ng mga kasama ko ngayon sa control room. I felt Sky touch my hand to calm me down but I just flinched away from her.

"Hindi mo pa rin ba naiintindihan Triton? Or maybe you don't care enough. While I was gritting my teeth to keep on working, trying with all my might to not let myself fall from misery, ikaw nagpapakasaya sa mga babae mo. While I was almost pinned to the ground with the weight of my sins, you're currently drinking yourself to death."

Sandaling katahimikan ang namayani bago muling nagsalita si Triton. "Hindi mo kasalanan ang pagkamatay niya."

"It is! Nawala si Storm dahil sa akin. While I was sitting on my throne, my cousin was being tormented and violated. While I was sitting on this damn throne, I lost my cousin! If one of my comrades go home with a broken bone, a scratch on the face, a bullet wound, a bruise...it will be my fault. That is the weight a leader must carry."

Nanginginig ang kamay na pinutol ko ang linya. Huminga ako ng malalim at pilit na pinakalma ko ang sarili ko. I can't lose it. I need to clear my mind and finish this.

"Dawn..."

Nilingon ko si Sky na siyang nagsalita. "Magpahinga ka na."

"Tama si Triton, Dawn. Hindi mo kasalanan."

"Everything was my mistake. Hindi dapat kinuha ni Storm ang mission na iyon. Kung hindi dahil sa kapabayaan ko hindi siya mawawala sa atin."

"Alam nating lahat na kulang pa ang impormasyon tungkol sa mission na iyon. Storm took the risk. H-Hindi ko alam kung ano ang problema ni Storm ng mga panahon na iyon. All I'm sure about is that she took the mission even though her head was not in the game."

Tumayo ako at naglakad na papunta sa pintuan. Wala ng saysay na pag-usapan pa ito dahil alam ko na hindi nila magagawang maintindihan. "I'm gonna take a rest."

"Dawn please..."

"Take a rest too Sky."

No matter what they'll say, I know that nothing will change. My father taught me that. A leader must carry every sins.

And I will.

NILINGON ko si grandaddy Poseidon. Nandito kami sa isang resort kasama ang lahat ng Elites. Nagdesisyon kasi si grandaddy na mag relax na muna daw kami. Hindi ko alam kung may sinabi ba sa kanila ang mga kasamahan ko kaya bigla kaming nagkaroon ng outing. But here we are. "Dawniella, bebe girl! Bakit nandito ka lang? Tignan mo ang mga kasama mo oh nagrerelax. Do the same sweetie."
