***Yesha's POV***
Nauna akong nakauwi ng condo dahil hinatid pa ni Suzy si Kai kila Ate Ren. Medyo gabi na kasi nasiraan pa ako sa daan. Buti na lang marunong din ako magrepair. Pero pagkarating ko sa parking lot ng building ng condo, parang may hindi tama. Masama ang kutob ko. May pamilyar na mga kotse akong nakita. Hindi ako maaaring magkamali sa simbolong nakalagay sa hood ng mga ito.
"Narito sila", bulong ko sa sarili ko.
Tinawagan ko si Suzy.
*ring ring*
[Unni!]
"Suzy, they're here."
[Who?]
"Raven"
[Ha? Paano? Sigurado ka unni?]
"Oo. Nakita ko yung symbol ng gang nila sa mga kotse dito sa may parking lot ng condo."
[Ottoekhae(What to do)?]
"Hwag ka munang uuwi dito. Delikado. Makitulog ka muna kila Ate Ren. I'm sure na papayag naman sya."
[Okay. Pero paano ka?]
"Sisiguraduhin ko muna kung sila iyon. Don't wory, hindi ako magpapahuli sa kanila. And else, nasa tabi-tabi lang ang bodyguards na ipinasunod sa akin ni Dad. They will show up in case I need help."
[Sige unni. I'll communicate sa gang members natin sa Korea if ever na may alam sila. Basta if you need help from me, don't hesitate to call.]
"Arraseo(I understand)."
I ended the call.
***Suzy's POV***
After that conversation with unni, sobra na akong kinabahan. Of all gangs in Korea, bakit Raven pa ang nandito. It's not na natatakot kami sa kanila. Actually, as of now, we are in good terms with Raven but we doubt if they are really sincere to be friends with our gang. Their gang is very dangerous. Before they made a negotiation with us, they always attempt to be the best gang in Korea. In other words, they always tend to compete against us.
At first, they were just nothing in such industry. Then, they have carved their own name. But they did it in a harsh way. They overthrow small gangs and even killed innocent people. Even though our gang is the most powerful in Korea, we never did what they did. We're not that cruel.
We accept their proposal to be a member of the association of gangs in Korea which our gang headed. They promise that they will abide with our rules. Their reason is that they want to change their reputation. But I don't think it's what their real reason is.
Just like now, why are they here in the first place? Why are they in Yesha's-unni's condo? I'm really pissed off pag sila pinag-uusapan.
Hanubayan...Napapa-english tuloy ako..Sensya na, ganyan talaga ako pag kinakabahan.
I am in a depth of thinking when someone caught my attention.
"Where do you think you're bringing me to? Kanina pa tayo lampas sa bahay namin," muntik ko nang makalimutan. Kasama ko si Kai. Hmp, sinusungitan na naman ako pero okay lang dahil labs ko naman sya..Haha
Ihahatid ko sya sa bahay nila tulad ng bilin ni Ate Ren. Yep, hindi sa shop kundi sa bahay nila. Itinext sa akin ni Ate yung address nila.
"Ahh-ehh...Mianhaeyo oppa(Sorry boyfriend)!", pagkasabi ko nun ay nag-uturn na ako para makabalik sa bahay nila na nalampasan ko. Hanubanaman kasi. Lutang ang isip ko dahil sa pag-uusap namin ni Yesha unni kanina...
Yang Raven naman kasi, masyadong epal sa tahimik na buhay namin. Naku, kung ibon lang yang gang na yan tulad ng pangalan nila, matagal ko na silang inihaw at kinain. Joke lang! Kahit maging ibon pa sila, di ko sila kakainin. Mamaya malason pa ako. Bleh!
Nakarating na din kami ni Kai sa bahay nila...Wow! Ang laki naman. Biglang bumukas yung gate kahit wala namang guard o kahit na sino doon. All I can see are high railings of metal which is the gate at camera sa sides. No wonder na bahay to ng mga Ramirez-the most influential family in the field of technology in the world. Mas mayaman sila kaysa sa fiancé ko kuno na gusto ni Daddy. I'm sure ico-call off ni Dad ang engagement namin ni Jiro pag nalaman nya na boyfriend ko si Kai.
Hindi ako social climber. Mayaman di kami. Kaya gusto ma-call off ang engagement dahil di ko talaga gusto si Jiro. At si Kai naman, na love at first sight ako. Oh my gosh! Bakit ba ako nag-eexplain? Hooooo! Naiimbyerna ako sa tuwing naalala ko yung lalaking yun.
Ano na kayang nangyari dun? Whatever. Waley ako paki...Wahahaha...Oo na! Ako nang masama...
They're number one in such industry pero bakit parang walang alam si Ate Ren at sa akin pa nagpagawa ng website ng shop niya? Hmmmmm....Nevermind...Baka hindi kasi sya interesado sa business nila kaya ganun.
"Sister in Law!", sigaw sa akin ni Ate Ren nang makababa na kami ng kotse. Niyakap niya ako.
"Ate Ren!", I hugged her back.
"Ang aga nyo naman.", she chuckled as she say that.
"Ate naman! For Pete's sake, its already 11 pm. Anong maaga ang pinagsasabi mo?", sabat ni Kai na nanliliit ang mata. Maygad! Ang gwapo nya.
Napangiti naman ako. Bago ko kasi sya hinatid pagkagaling sa mall kasama sila Yesha-unni at Nathan-oppa, niyaya ko pa sya na mamasyal kaya late na kami nakarating...
"I know little bro. So since it's already late, sleep here Suzy. I'll just call Yesha para ipagpaalam ka", seryosong sabi ni Ate Ren. Wow naman! Sakto talaga ang yaya ni Ate Ren. Kakasabi lang ni Yesha-unni na dito muna ako mag-stay.
"Sure Ate Ren. Actually, irerequest ko din sana yan. Hihi."
"It's settled then. Dun ka sa kwarto ni Kai matutulog para masaya."
"Ate/Unni!", sabay kami ni Kai.
"Joke lang. Sa kwarto ko sya para makapag-bonding kami. Hahaha"
Hooooo! Bakit joke lang ate? Kunsabagay, baka ma-rape ko ang napakagwapong nilalang na ito sa harap ko kung nagkataon...Hihi...Ano ba tong iniisip ko? Bad Suzy! Bad!
Bigla kong naalala si Yesha unni. I need to know kung bakit nandito ang Raven. I need to contact our gang.
"Ate Ren, pwede ba akong makigamit ng CR?"
"Sure. Just go inside the elevator and click the gold button. It will lead you there."
"Thanks unni!" Wow naman. Pupunta lang ng CR, elevator pa?
CR ba talaga to? Hmmm...Everything is seem to be manipulated by technology. Gusto kong kalikutin...Waaaahhhhh! Natetempt ako pero there is more important than this.
I opened my laptop. Good thing, James is online. He's our gang member which is in intelligence unit. I guess, hinihintay nya talaga ako or si Yesha unni na kontakin sya. He's aware na nandito ang Raven.
I connected with him.
"James, why is Raven here?"
[Suzy-shi. They're there to get Yesha-shi. The Raven's heir was involved in an accident and they were blaming us for it. According to my spy in Raven, they want to get even so they want to get our gang's heiress, Yesha-sshi and hurt her. ]
"That's ridiculous!"
[I know. Our gang has nothing to do with the accident. We are framed up by Jaguar. They can't accept the fact that we remove them from our association because of their acts. They did it for revenge.]
"I understand now. They made a big mess. We all know that Raven is very sensitive with such things. Though they are member of our association now, I will not be surprised if they will attack us. "
[Yes, Agasshi(My lady).]
"Did Dad know about this?"
[He's now on his way to Raven's headquarters to prove our innocence.]
"Omo! What if it's too late? Raven is now in Yesha-unni's condo. She said a while ago that she saw their symbol in the parking lot."
***Yesha's POV***
Matapos kong tawagan si Suzy, bumaba na ako sa kotse. Sa fire exit ako dumaan. Nasa 6th floor ang unit ko. Nagmamatyag din ako sa paligid para malaman kung may kakaiba.
Bago ko pa man din buksan ang pinto sa 6th floor, nakarinig na ako ng ingay. Tunog iyon ng mga naglalaban. Bahagya kong binuksan ang pinto para makita ko ang nangyayari.
"I cant believe this!" Nandito sila. Nandito ang Raven. Pero, anong ginagawa nila rito?
Kasalukuyang nakikipaglaban ang mga bodyguards ko sa kanila at mukhang natatalo na sila. Mayroon lamang akong 5 bodyguards. Kahit tauhan sila ni Daddy, nasa akin ang loyalty nila kaya hindi nila sinusumbong na nandito si Suzy. It's simply because I hire and train them personally. Unknown to Suzy, they were living as same floor sa amin.
Pero kahit malakas sila, masyadong marami ang kalaban, I think they were 20. It's very unfair.
Biglang tumalsik ang isa sa mga tauhan ko papunta sa pintuan na pinagtataguan ko kaya bumukas ito.
"Miss A, they're here. Raven.", sabi sa akin ni Mark, isa sa mga bodyguards ko.
"Why?"
"They want to get you. Run now."
"But-"
"No more buts."
"They will pay for this. I'll send them to hell."
"We can't fight them now. They were many."
Bago pa man din ako makasagot ulit. Nakita ako ng mga kalaban at papalapit sa akin yung isa. In fairness gwapo sya. Erase! Erase! Erase! Ano ba tong iniisip ko. Nasa panganib na kami, yun pa din ang iniisip ko?
"Annyeong! Yessha-shi or should I call you Miss A.",sabi nung lalaki habang nakataas pa yung isang kamay na tila nangangamusta. Mukhang sya ang lider ng grupong pumunta dito.
"Tss. Feeling close naman. Kala mo gwapo.", bulong ko sa sarili ko.
"Narinig ko yun"what the??? Marunong syang mag-Tagalog?
"What do you want?"
"Go with us and I'll spare the lives of your bodyguards.", sabi nya at saka sinipa ang nanghihinang si Mark sa harap ko.
"In your dreams", kasabay ng sambit ko non ay ang paghagis ko sa kanila ng tear gas. San ko nakuha? Sa bulsa ko...Haha...Masyado silang marami and I think they were equipped with guns. Good thing hindi nila yun ginamit sa bodyguards ko. Yes, I can fight them and I'm confident that I can beat them but not in this case. If they really have guns and shoot me at once, hello??? 20 gangsters na sabay-sabay babaril sa akin, sa tingin nyo mabubuhay pa ako? Hindi ako si Majinboo para hindi tablan ng bala.
Agad ako tumakbo pababa ng staircase. Tinanggal ko na yung sapatos ko para mas mabilis akong makatakbo pero may 3 na mabilis akong nahabol.
One grab me from my hair. It hurts. I grabbed his hand and crushed it with my fist. He cried out loud because of the pain. I'm still holding the hand of the first guy when another one is approaching near me so I immediately kick him where it hurts the most. Napaluhod sya sa sakit habang hawak yung parte na sinipa ko. Oops! I think something cracked? Here comes the 3rd guy. Tila may kukunin sya sa bulsa nya and I'm pretty sure it's a gun.
Tumingin ako sa paligid ko. I saw an umbrella. Bingo! Pero bakit may payong dito? Hmp...Bahala na. Kinuha ko iyon at tumama sa noo nya ang dulo. I'm really a sharp shooter. Nice shot Yesha! Tumba na yung 3 pero nakita ko na paparating na yung iba nilang kasamahan.
"Don't let her go!", sigaw ni kuyang gwapo. Yung lider.
Madali akong sumakay sa kotse. Agad ko iyong pinaandar at pinatakbo ng mabilis.
Tinawagan ko si Suzy.
*ring ring*
[Unni! Confirmed. It's really Raven. They were here. I have contacted James. Raven's heir was involved in an accident and they were blaming our gang. They want to be even so they want to get you. But it's not our gang's fault. It's a set-up of Jaguar. Aish!]
"Okay but I need your help first. I'm in my car right now at hinahabol nila ako. Help me na matakasan ko sila. I have turned on my gps right now para matrack mo ang location ko."
[Of course unni...........I have tracked you now. Omo! 4 cars were following you right now.]
"Tell me the directions para mailigaw ko sila."
[Ok....Turn left on the 3rd street na madadaanan mo. Then, turn right to the 2nd street. You will pass by a cemetery. At the end of it, always turn right to every street you see. ]
Sinunod ko yung sinabi ni Suzy. Kahit papaano ay meju malayo na ang distansya ko sa kanila pero they're still following my track.
[This will be the last Unni. Just go straight with the fastest speed that you can. Turn your lights off. Just go straight. Trust me. When I said NOW, turn to your right immediately. Arraseo(Understand)?]
"Arraseo(I understand)!"
Kahit alam kong delikado ang sinasabi ni Suzy, I trust her. And else, nakataya na rin ang buhay ko. It's either I got caught by Raven and get killed or I die because of car accident.
I turn off the lights of my car. Wala ring streets lights and the moon is not even there to lighten the road. Mula sa side mirror, I saw their cars fast approaching. I have gone through many gang fights and almost got killed but this is the first time I was chased by cars at the place where I'm not that familiar.
I can't see anything. I'm just driving and waiting for Suzy's signal.
[NOW!!!]
It's the signal Suzy told me. I immediately turn the car to the right. Ilang beses din nagpa-ikot ikot ang sasakyan ko bago ito huminto. Nakaharap ito ngayon sa pinanggalingan ko. Nagulat ako nung makita ko ang sumunod na nangyari. A car bumped into something na parang may nasira then I heard splash of water. Sunud-sunod ang tunog na tila may nahulog sa tubig.
I turned on my lights.
"Oh my gosh!", I gasped.
[Unni! How was it?]
"Your really awesome little sis."
[I know. Buti nga sa kanila. Hahaha.]
Sa dulo pala ng daan ay dead end. You really have to turn right or else mahuhulog ka sa malawak na ilog. It's not just an ordinary river but a wide one and I think its kinda deep. Lumabas ako ng kotse at tumingin sa ibaba. Unti-unti nang umaahon yung mga gangsters.
Bumalik ako sa kotse at nagmaneho na ulit. They can't catch me now. Mataas ang pinagbagsakan nila and I doubt if makukuha pa nila mga sasakyan nila sa tubig.
"Still there dongasaeng(lil sis)?"
[I'm here unni...Still need something?]
"Yes, intrude the security system of our condo. Erase all the details na may kinalaman sa Raven. It's a big trouble if may makakaalam sa nangyari."
[Aye! Aye! Captain!]
Then, I end the call. What happened today is really interesting even though I almost died. Binalikan ko ang mga bodyguards ko and I brought them to the hospital. I stayed there as well.
