ANTON.
Me and Blue are deeply looking at BDL and patiently waiting for her reaction. I think it is her first time to witness something like this as she walk around while scrutinizing the bloody person.
Nainip na ako sa tagal so I nudged her, to see if she have the balls to hit the man.
She is really hesitant as she won't even raise her hand. I knew it!
I closed our gap but still, Bea is just standing there and doing anything kahit na kinakantyawan na siya. Our men are all laughing at her.
I smirked to them. They know the routine in times like this at dahil bago si Bea, they want a show.
"Okay boys, easy lang kayo kay BDL. I think she's not used to seeing blood. Give her some time, masasanay din siya." I hushed them.
"Yes boss pero pwede na siyang umpisahang sanayin ngayon." one of the men said.
"Sabagay, there's always a first time. Bibinyagan natin si BDL today. Here, use this." I said.
I have a plan and this is the perfect time to execute it. I reached for my gun and handed it to BDL.
Bea's eyes bulged momentarily upon seeing the weapon I'm giving to her. She was startled and astonished, to say the least.
"BDL! BDL!!!" the people around us screamed.
Kahit napipilitan at nanginginig ay inabot naman niya ito. Hindi ko binitawan ang kamay niya. Dahan dahan ko itong inilapit at itinutok sa sentido ng lalaki ang baril.
"Do it! Finish him!" bulong ko.
Maririnig mo ang mga hininga ng bawat isa dito sa loob ng warehouse. Pati ang taong nasa harap namin ay tumigil sa pagmamakaawa. Ang kaso, ayaw gumalaw ng kamay ni Bea.
"BDL?" I asked.
"I can't do it, sorry." sagot niya.
"As my bodyguard, akala ko ba you are willing to do everything for me. That was clearly written in the contract that was signed by you. Bakit ngayon ay naduduwag ka?" tanong ko uli.
"Kruk, kruk, kruk, kruk." natatawang sabi ng isa sa mga tauhan ko at sinabayan na ng marami.
They're all teasing her and mimicking a chicken now. Tila naman nagpipigil si BDL na patulan sila.
"He is not a threat to you anymore, Gob Anton." she said after a while.
Nobody has ever denied me yet on my instructions among my bodyguards, si BDL pa lang ang unang sumuway sa utos ko.
All eyes are on us, anticipating the next move. Damn! Mukhang mapapahiya pa yata ako ah. I slowly smiled kaya medyo lumuwag ang hawak niya sa baril. She thought that I've changed my mind. I didn't waste time anymore, sa isang iglap ay hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa kamay ni BDL sabay kalabit sa gatilyo nito.
BANG!!!!
A loud noise, a gun shot to be exact, was heard. I loosen my grasp on Bea's hand in a slow motion.
The lifeless body of the man falls on the ground, face down.
"Bulls eye. Another one bite the dust." I whispered.
"What have you done?!" Bea shrieked as she recovered from shock.
Fear and terror envelops her face. She dropped the gun and started to punch my chest.
"Eliminating the enemies, what do you think?" I sarcastically replied while shrugging my shoulders.
"How dare you shoot that man!!!" she shouted and tried hitting my face this time.
See? I knew it!!! Her real identity showed up. She is acting as Isabel Beatriz Paras De Leon, the kickboxer. Lumabas ang tapang. Parang nakalimutan niya na ako ang boss dito, ako ang boss niya. Hinayaan ko lang siya para mailabas niya ang kanyang galit.
The bodyguard as her secret persona is temporarily gone.
As she confronts me, halos lumabas na ang litid sa kanyang leeg. She punched me again, huh, ang lakas naman niya. Medyo masakit na ang mga suntok niya kaya sinangga ko na ang kamay niya and tries to pacify her.
"Calm down. He was a nobody. Hindi siya kawalan sa mundo. Besides, he deserves it for what he did to me. He was a traitor and in my eyes, all traitors must be punished. You should remember that BDL!" I said in a warning tone.
"You are not a God." she replied through gritted teeth.
"Maybe not but his blood is on your hands now, so pick yourself up. No need to pressure yourself BDL. We don't have room for regrets here as it comes with the territory. You must know that as my bodyguard." sabi ko sabay akbay sa kanya.
Matagal bago siya nakahuma at natumbok ang mga sinabi ko. Inalis niya ang kamay ko bago humarap sa akin.
"No, governor Anton. Everyone here witnessed that you did it so don't you dare make me as the scapegoat. This is not part of my job, not like this." she whispered, voice crackling, as she tries to kneel beside the man.
Awww, she have a soft heart, bless. Extremely caring but a little too much.
Kaya pati asawa mo, gusto niyang agawin Gob.
"D-dalhin natin siya sa hospital, mabubuhay pa yan." samo ni BDL sa akin.
I ignored her completely.
"Take this dead man out of here." I instructed my men.
Mabilis naman silang kumilos at agad na sinunggaban ang walang buhay na katawan ng traydor sa grupo. Nagkatinginan kami ni Blue, itinuro ko si BDL na tulalang nakatingin sa mga tao ko. He nodded and swiftly put his hidden cellphone away. Sikretong nag thumbs up pa siya sa akin bago lumapit kay BDL.
"Why don't you go home BDL. You've been working really hard lately, you deserve a rest. Have a couple of days off starting tomorrow tutal weekend naman na." Blue said.
"P-pero........" putol na sagot niya dahil nakatingin na siya sa bangkay na binabalot nila ng kumot.
"Kami na ang bahala dito. Here, take my car. Iwan mo na ito sa kapitolyo at doon ko na lang kukunin." sabi ni Blue.
Walang nagawa si BDL kundi ang sumunod sa utos ni Blue. Tinignan niya muna ako ng masama bago tuluyang lumabas. I took the handkerchief from my pocket and used it to carefully picked up the gun.
Napangisi ako. Akalain mo yun, everything went well according to my plan.
======================================================================
JEMA.
Ang himbing ng tulog ko ng makarinig ako ng malalakas na tunog. I opened my eyes instantly. May kumakatok sa pinto ng kuarto ko. I looked around my room, madilim pa sa paligid. Ang aga naman, hay.
I get out of my bed kahit antok na antok pa. Masakit ang ulo ko pagbangon. Dahil siguro sa kulang pa ako sa tulog. Mukhang tatlong oras lang ako nakaidlip.
I took my robe that was hanging beside the cabinet, lazily put it on before opening the door.
"Anton?" takang tanong ko.
"Good morning babe. Coffee?" he replied.
He was holding a tray with coffee on it. I smelled the aroma, bigla akong naglaway sa kape. Bago pa ako makasagot ay nakapasok na siya sa loob ng kuarto ko. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa aking robe at sinundan siya.
He put the tray on the side table at agad na pumunta sa may bintana. Hinawi niya ang kurtina kaya medyo lumiwanag na.
"Thank you." sabi ko sabay punta na uli sa tabi ng pintuan na nakabukas pa.
Anton knows that I want him out of my room.
"Yun lang, wala man lang "good morning too babe"? he asked.
"Good morning too. As you can see, I'm not fully dressed yet. So, if you'll excuse me, magbibihis muna ako." I answered.
Tinignan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa kaya bigla akong na-conscious. Napahawak siya sa kanyang baba at pagkatapos ay tinitigan ako kaya nakipagtitigan din ako sa kanya. He cannot intimidate me anymore.
"Since when did you feel conscious about my presence?" tanong niya habang lumalapit sa akin.
I gave him space as I thought he will go out but I was wrong. He quickly cornered me sabay sara ng pintuan.
Shit!
I pushed him lightly para lang makaiwas dahil sobrang lapit niya na pero mas malakas siya. Napasandal ako sa likod ng pintuan. Nakasalikop agad ang mga kamay niya sa akin. Unti unti niyang inilapit ang mukha sa leeg ko.
"Don't you miss me, babe?" bulong niya.
Tumindig lahat ng balahibo ko dahil sa ginawa niya. I tried my best to get away from him but to no avail. He pushed himself to me kaya dikit na dikit na ang katawan niya sa akin.
He started licking my neck then I felt that he is squeezing my bum now. Itinulak ko siya sa dibdib at pilit na inilalayo ang katawan sa kanya.
"Fuck you Anton! Get your hands off me!" malakas na sigaw ko kahit na alam kong walang makakarinig nito sa labas.
All our rooms here are equipped with insulation materials kaya soundproof ang buong bahay. Pero hindi ko na pinag aksayahan pa ng oras para isipin ito. Nagbabaka sakali lang na may makarinig sa mga kasambahay namin.
Napunta sa mukha niya ang kanang kamay ko. Halos bumaon na ang kuko ko sa pisngi niya pero hindi pa rin siya tumigil at hinahalikan niya na ang leeg ko.
I used all my strength to push him away at nung nakabuwelo ay binigyan ko ng isang malakas na sipa sa kanyang bayag. Tignan natin kung magkaka anak pa siya.
"Putang ina!!" namimilipit sa sakit na sigaw niya.
Nakawala ako sa kanya pansamantala. Tatakbo na sana ako pero nahawakan niya ang isang paa ko kaya sa carpet humalik ang mukha ko. Kahit masakit ang bagsak ay pinilit kong tumayo at agad na pumunta sa kabilang side ng kama.
"Wag kang lalapit Anton kundi ihahampas ko sayo ito!" sigaw ko sabay hawak sa crystal figurine na nadampot ko.
Pa-ika ika siyang lumapit sa akin.
"Hindi ako nagbibiro Anton." mariing sabi ko.
"Okay, okay. I am so sorry. It's just that, I miss you babe. Gusto lang naman kitang yakapin at halikan. After all, I am still your husband." mahinahon at malambing na ang boses na sagot niya.
Aba, nagbago ng demeanor ang hinayupak. His tone is now enticing and not aggressive anymore.
"Ang kapal ng mukha mo talaga. After mong magpakasaya sa kandungan ng ibang babae kagabi? Not that I mind but give me some respect naman. Besides, sa papel na lang tayo mag asawa." I said.
He looked surprised at what I said.
"Ibang babae? Anong pinagsasabi mo babe? Ikaw lang ang babae para sa akin." he said.
"Huwag ka ng mag-maang maangan pa. I was awake when you came home Anton. I heard everything pati na yung mga pabida mo kay Blue. Based on your anecdotes, you had a great time. So why are you trying to get into my pants? Kulang pa ba ang ginawa ninyo ng babae? Ha?" tanong ko.
"But it's your fault why I did that." he said.
"Oh wow! Do you want me to act surprise or shock? Or be thankful that you admitted to romping with prostitutes behind my back? Grow the fucking up Anton!! You are a governor, act like one! Your constituents deserves more from you." I replied.
"Coming from you? Don't get religious on me Jema. You are nothing without me!" he sarcastically said.
"I have nothing to say to you. Now, get out habang may konti pa akong respeto sayo. Huwag mo sanang ubusin ito." mahinahon na sabi ko.
"Bakit ganyan ka na kung magsalita sa akin. Dati naman ay hindi, you are always submissive to me. Ibang Jema na ang kausap ko ngayon." he said.
"Let's just say that I finally found my self, my self esteem and my rights. The old Jema that you knew before is long gone. After what you tried to do to me earlier, it just proved that I did the right thing about the divorce." I replied.
"I see. Always the divorce, wala ka ng ibang bukambibig kundi yang lintek na divorce! Bakit, sino ba ang ipinagmamalaki mo ha? Mayroon na bang iba?" he angrily asked.
Huh, what is he trying to insinuate?
"What do you mean? Wala akong ipinagmamalaki. Matagal na tayong hindi masaya sa ating pagsasama Anton kaya nga may kasunduan na tayo about the divorce. We will abide with our agreement after election kaya huwag mong ibahin ang usapan." I replied.
"Really? Who told you that we will push through with the divorce?" tanong niya habang nakangisi.
Eto na naman kami, grrrrrr. Nag iba na naman ang hitsura niya. Sawang sawa na ako sa mga antics ni Anton.
"You know what, I changed my mind. I want that divorce papers signed today." sagot ko.
"What? Why all of a sudden?"he asked.
"Because you are now out of control Anton. This is too much. I want out and I want it now!" I answered.
"Not too fast babe!" sabi niya sabay punta sa may table kung saan niya inilagay ang tray kanina.
Nakita ko ang kape na dala niya, siguradong malamig na ito dahil wala nang steam na nanggagaling dito.
May kinuha siyang envelope na nasa ilalim ng tray. Nagtataka man ay hinintay ko kung ano ang susunod niyang gagawin. He opened it and then tossed to the air the stuff inside. Dahil sa nabigla ako sa ginawa niya, I wasn't able to catch it. Sumabog sa sahig ang mga laman.
Nagkalat ang maraming larawan. Mga larawan namin ni Bea, iba't ibang posisyon. May nakahalik siya sa akin, may nakayakap ako sa kanya, atbp.
Omg! Napatutop ako sa aking bibig. Paano napunta kay Anton ang mga ito? Sino ang kumuha ng mga pictures? What should I do?
"You are in big trouble, you know that? Now, my dear wife, when I say no divorce, there is no divorce. Understand?" Anton asked as he watched me.
"Nooooo, you can't do this!" I cried while trying to gather all the photos on the floor.
"I can or you wouldn't want me to go to the police with this!" he replied.
I looked up at Anton and saw him brandishing a usb device. He got it on tape too? The fuck!
"It's not what you think." I immediately said.
I have to think quick of an alibi.
He smirked and approached me.
Hindi na ako lumaban pa sa kanya nung hinila niya ako papunta sa kama. He wants me to sit down on the edge so I just followed him as my knees are turning into jellies.
When I did, he was on his knees immediately, in between my legs.
"You know me, Jema. I hate being cheated on. Whether in my business, at work, much more in my personal life. I will do everything in my power to eliminate the enemy." he said while caressing my face.
He said it calmly but I can feel the rage in his voice. Alam ko na ang kasunod nito.
I just closed my eyes when Anton starts feeling my whole body. His rough hands pulling and tearing my clothes off, one by one.
He pushed me down when I was all naked. Nauulit na naman ang nakaraan. Napaiyak na lang ako.
I am thinking of Bea. I have to save her from Anton.
