FLEUR was breathing heavily. Nang bumukas ang elevator, nagmamadali syang maglakad patungo sa office ni Mistress Emilia. She looked at her surroundings and noticed that nothing changed, the agents of the Toxic Organization resumed their trainings and some were happily talking at the cafeteria. But that did not ease her worries.
Nang makarating sya sa harap ng office ni Mistress Emilia, bumuga sya ng hangin at kumatok sa pintuan.
"Come in," even Mistress Emilia's cold voice did not change.
"Good morning, Mistress." Fleur bowed and looked at Mistress Emilia. "Please tell me it was just a part of the plan and Hyacinth is somewhere safe."
Mistress Emilia remained stone cold and her expression was blank. "I'm very disappointed. This will be the first and last time na mangyari ang kahihiyang ito sa ating organisasyon."
Nanginig ang tuhod ni Fleur nang marinig niya ang mga salitang sinabi ni Mistress Emilia. She managed to stand despite the situation but tears started to well up in her eyes. "N-No, it can't be . . ." Mahina niyang sabi.
She just bowed and immediately went outside. Nang makalabas siya sa opisina, bigla siyang napaupo sa sahig. As soon as she heard the news of Hyacinth's death, agad siyang pumunta sa headquarters ng Toxic Organization para ma-confirm ito. She thought it was staged because there are instances that agents will fake their deaths as part of the mission.
Ang kaninang nagbabadyang luha ay tumulo na. Pinigilan niya ang sarili na humagulgol ngunit hindi niya ata ma-kontrol ang labis na sakit na nararamdaman niya. The hectic agents started to look at her and she just smiled. Tumayo sya at nagsimulang umalis doon. Nakasalubong niya si Azalea habang naglalakad paalis. Namumutla si Azalea, may mga konting pasa at halatang wala itong tulog.
Nakayuko ito kaya hindi sya napansin. "Azalea . . ." Tawag ni Fleur. Si Azalea ang huling nakasama ni Hyacinth dahil sa misyon na ginawa nila sa Cebu. "Azalea . . ." Tawag niya pa dahil parang hindi sya naririnig nito. Fleur walked towards her and held her hand. Biglang nagulat si Azalea.
"H-Ha? Bakit?"
"What happened?" Fleur asked.
"Fleur . . ." aniya habang nakatingin kay Fleur. "I swear I did my best to save Hyacinth ngunit . . . ngunit nakarinig ako ng putok ng bala at huli na ang lahat . . ." Napayuko si Azalea.
Azalea might be traumatized. It's the first death since this organization was established. Not to mention na sabay-sabay silang lumaki rito sa organisasyon at nagkaroon ng pinagsamahan.
Fleur fell silent.
"Mauna na ako Fleur. Hinahanap na ako ni Mistress." Tumango lamang sya sa sinabi ni Azalea. Mistress Emilia might punish her for failing the mission at baka mas mahigpit ang consequences dahil mas invested si Mistress Emilia sa mga misyong pinapagawa niya ngayon.
Umalis na si Fleur sa headquarters at pumunta sa apartment nila ni Hyacinth.
Nang makarating sya sa kanilang tinutuluyan, pumasok agad sya sa kwarto ni Hyacinth. Humiga sya roon at natulog.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nagising si Fleur sa tunog ng alarm. She looked around upang hanapin kung saan nakalagay ang alarm clock at nang makita niya ito ay pumunta sya sa study table. It's already 6:00 PM at bigla niyang naalala na palaging nag-a-alarm si Hyacinth tuwing 6:00 PM para gumawa ng dinner. She sighed. Hyacinth was her best friend, her companion since she began her training as an agent in Toxic Organization.
She looked around the room. Hyacinth has a thing for purple colors kaya purple with a mix of white ang kulay ng kwarto niya. Napabaling ulit ang kaniyang atensyon sa study table. Umupo sya at kinuha ang notebook na nakalagay dito. She opened it and realized it was Hyacinth's journal. It's wrong to touch other people's stuffs but Fleur was having a gut feeling that Hyacinth left this in the study table on purpose.
She went to the last page and it was addressed to her.
Astoria,
Don't trust Mistress Emilia. Todo, a tiempo.
Kumunot ang noo ni Fleur. "Anong ibig niyang sabihin?" Fleur mumbled. Napaisip si Fleur kung bakit hindi dapat pagkakatiwalaan si Mistress Emilia. Naguguluhan na si Fleur sa nangyayari ngunit kanina pa sya nag-iisip sa dapat niyang gawin.
"Fleur . . ." Napalingon si Fleur sa tumawag sa kanya. She looked at Azalea and noticed na mas marami ang bruises niya ngayon kaysa noong una niya itong nakita.
Nandito sila ngayon sa isang liblib na lugar kung saan walang makakapansin sa kanila.
"Azalea, alam kong may ideya ka na kung bakit kita ipinatawag dito."
"His name's Sawyer Morales. He's also known as Apollo. 27 years old." Azalea said.
Tumango si Fleur at nagsmula ng maglakad. "Sandali . . ." Pagpipigil ni Azalea.
Fleur turned around.
"This is Hyacinth's necklace. Naiwan niya sa kung saan kami namamalai doon sa Cebu." Sabi ni Azalea habang binibigay ang kwintas.
Tinanggap ito ni Fleur at tiningnan. Hyacinth's real name was engraved on it.
Elliana
She let out a heavy sigh. Nagsimula na syang maglakad paalis ngunit may humarang sa kanya. Fleur raised her brow.
"You can't stop me, Iris."
"I'm not here to stop you, Fleur." Iris smiled. Kumunot ang noo ni Fleur. "I'm here to join you."
"Me too," Azalea added.
"No. Just stay out of this-"
"And what? Sit still? You're not the only sister of Hyacinth, Fleur. We are also her sisters." Iris said. "We are sisters and forever will be."
"Fine." Fleur just rolled her eyes dahil wala na syang magagawa pa. "Let's warn them not to mess with us."
And they all smiled because they know the true meaning of that warning.
