"Trusting a person ain't wrong, but trusting the wrong person means death."
------ Xenon K.
"A kiss means everything to me. So, if you kiss me please do it properly." --- Myracle Y.
Chapter 6:
MYRACLE SLIGHTLY OPEN the door and peek to see if Xenon was there. When she didn't saw him, she quickly yet carefully go to the kitchen and grab a piece of bread and water.
After that, she slowly walk into the stairs to avoid noise and quickly close her doors.
She deeply sigh. It's been a week since that 'kissing' happened and it's been a week since she's avoiding and ignoring Xenon.
She touch her lips and remember when Xenon kiss her. Tumalon sya sa kama at impit na napatili.
He kiss me.. He kiss me.. He kiss me.. He kiss me.. He kiss me.. He kiss me..
Halos gabi-gabi napapanaginipan nya ang pangyayaring yon at hindi mawala sa isip nya ang mukha ni Xenon habang tinitingnan sya.
Hindi nya pinansin yun noong una pero ngayon sigurado na sya. Sa pagtingin nito at paghalik sa kanya ay sigurado na talaga sya.
Nang makapagisip-isip si Myracle ay nakaisip sya ng dahilan kung bakit ganun si Xenon kung umasta.
Hindi sya makapaniwala noong una. Pero kalaunan ay natanggap na nya. Xenon is no longer a human.
He's a cannibal!!!
*****
Nagising si Xenon dahil sa isang panaginip na nakapagpatuyo ng lalamunan nya. He mess his hair due to frustration.
He looked at the clock and its only 6:20 am in the morning.
He dreamed of it again. Ever since he kiss Myracle hungrily in that position, he can't help but feel aroused. The l**t inside him was rampaging and want to take over.
Every time he remember those sweet, soft lips, her flushed cheeks, those confused yet innocent eyes, every time he remember that, his breath became unstable and his heart beats fast.
Xenon look at his friend down there and heavily sigh when he saw 'it' getting harden and harden every minutes.
Before he imagined Myracle being n***d--- although he's imagining it already--- he took a deep breath and stand up.
A cold water did help him a little to calm his friend down but it became useless when he imagined Myracle completely n***d.
Damn! Damn! Damn it!
He hit his head against the wall to erase the picture of Myracle in his mind. A sexy lady wearing nothing was maddening. It takes him an hour to calm down.
When he's done already, he turn off the shower and pick a black suit in the closet.
He walk downstairs and saw the maid preparing a breakfast. He look around but did not found any shadow of Myracle.
"Good Morning Master!" Sabay-sabay na bati ng mga maids nang makita sya.
He stare at the milk that was place on the table and ask. "Where's Myracle?"
The maids look at each other before answering. "We did not see her yet Master. Maybe she's still sleeping." Joy said.
Xenon's brows arched. He know that Myracle should be up by now. Its weird since Myracle always woke up at exactly 6:00 in the morning.
"Prepare her milk and bread in the tray. I'll carry it." Malamig na ani ni Xenon.
The maids, again look at each other. It is a first time that their Master will carry a tray and whats unbelievable is that, Xenon will carry it only for a girl.
That's new right? But some maids are not surprise anymore because they thought that Myracle is Xenon's 'WIFE'..
Anyway, even though some maids are surprised, they still managed to composed their selves and carefully put a milk and slice of bread in the tray.
Once it was done, Xenon carry it and walk upstairs while the maids look at him walk 'til he's out of sight.
Nang makitang wala na si Xenon ay nagsimula na silang magsalita---or more on, gossips.
"Ang sweet ni Master no?" Kinikilig na sabi ni Joy.
"Sana all hinahatiran ng pagkain. Yung asawa ko nga parang walang pakialam sakin." Nakasimangot na saad ni Aling Estella.
"Wag kang bitter tita! Para sa mga inlove lang yan. Bakit? Mahal ka ba ng asawa mo?" Nakangising pang-aasar ni Renalyn.
"Wag nyo akong tuksuhin mga marupok na bata. Baka hindi na kayo magka-boypren dahil dyan sa ugali nyo."
"Hindi ako marupok.. blah blah blah.."
At nagsagutan na po sila. While they were quarreling, Xenon felt numb while standing in front of Myracle's door.
He took a deep breath before deciding to knock.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
"Sandali lang!" Sigaw ni Myracle mula sa loob.
After a while, may narinig syang yapak ng paa na papalapit and that's when Myracle open the door.
He almost drop the tray when he saw her looking at him. Myracle is wrapped tightly in a towel and her hair is still dropping wet.
He stare at her face down to her showed cleavage down to her legs and audibly gulp.
He closed his eyes and try to relax, not wanting to scare Myracle more. He opened his eyes and saw Myracle looking at him confused as to why he was standing there with his face, red.
Xenon turn around and harshly breath. "Put your clothes on Lady."
Before I lose my control and make love to you right here, right now.
"Huh?" Takang tanong ni Myracle. She look at body and said, "I was weari----" naputol ang sasabihin nya ng makitang naka-tuwalya lang sya at kita pa ang dibdib nya. "..ng clothes.. KYAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Dali-daling tinakpan ni Myracle ang dibdib nya at sinarado ng malakas ang pintuan. "I hate you Ace! I hate youuuu!!!!" Sigaw nito mula sa loob.
Xenon blows a deep breath. "as if you mean it!" He murmured.
Ipinilig nya ang ulo nya ng ma-imagine ang itsura ni Myracle kanina. So fvcking hot! Damn!
Makalipas ang ilang minuto narinig nya ang pagbukas ng pintuan. Hindi nya ito inintay pang makapagsalita at bigla nalang pumasok.
"My hands felt numb holding this.." itinaas ni Xenon ang hawak nyang tray. "so, let me put it first in the table." Ani nya tsaka ipinatong ang tray sa desk.
"Bakit mo ba kasi dala-dala yan? Eh tapos na akong mag breakfast." Nakasimangot na ani ni Myracle.
Kinuha ni Xenon ang gatas sa tray at humarap sa kanya. "Don't care. You still drink it or I'll make you drink it?" Saad nito at ibinigay sa kanya ang gatas.
"Eh pano kung ayoko?" Irap ni Myracle at nag cross-arms. "Pano mo naman ako mapapainom nya eh ayoko ko nga."
Ngumisi bigla si Xenon. "It's simple."
Tumaas ang kilay ni Myracle sa sinabi nya. Ininom ni Xenon ang kalahati ng gatas at ibinalik ang baso sa tray.
Napangiti si Myracle nang inumin yun Xenon. "Ayan! Ganyan nga! Ikaw nalang yung uminom nyan." Palakpak na sabi nito.
Nakangiting kinuha ni Myracle ang tinapay sa tray at akmang kakainin ito nang bigla syang hinila ni Xenon at isinandal sa pader.
"Anong ginag---- hmmpp" nanlalaki ang mga mata ni Myracle ng halikan sya ni Xenon at maya-maya lang ay may nalasahan syang matamis na tubig.
Nang mag sink in sa utak ni Myracle kung ano ang nalasahan nya ay nagpumilit syang makawala ngunit mahigpit na hinawakan ni Xenon ang kamay nya at pinailalim ang halik.
Xenon bit her lips causing her to part her lips and he use it as a chance to put the milk he drink inside her mouth.
Humiwalay si Xenon sa halik at pinahiran ang gilid ng labi ni Myracle. "Drink it or else."
Tiningnan nya si Myracle at napangisi ng makitang nakatulala ito habang wala sa sariling nilunok ang gatas.
"Good girl." Ani nito at umalis dahil siguradong mabibingi sya pag nag sink in sa utak ni Myracle ang nangyari.
Nang maproseso ang nangyari ay sumigaw si Myracle. "Aaaahhhhhhhh!!! You cannibal!"
Mangiyak-ngiyak na sigaw ni Myracle. Napahalakhak na bumaba si Xenon sa hagdan ng marinig ang sigaw ni Myracle.
Pfft. Me? A cannibal? I'm too handsome to be a cannibal.
Natigil ang mga maid sa pagtatrabaho ng makitang tumatawa ang amo nila habang palabas ng pinto.
Ilang minutong katahimikan ang namayani hanggang sa narinig nila ang pagragasa ng kotse.
"Oh my god! Did you see it? Did you see it? Oh em gee! Pwede na akong mamatay." Kinikilig na tili ni Grace.
"What the heck?"
Binatukan ni Joy si Renalyn sa sinabi nito. "Ulol! Anong 'what da heck' ka dyan! Tumawa si Master. As in humalakhak! Bingi ka ba?"
"Aba'y anong nangyari sa batang yun? Kung makatawa ng wagas kala mo kung sinong nanalo sa lotto." Takang sabi ni Aling Estella.
Napa roll eyes si Angel. "Alam mo tita! Hindi tumataya si Master sa lotto at kung tumaya man sya at manalo ay siguradong hindi yun tatawa ng ganoon. Duh! Mas mayaman pa yata si Master kesa sa coordinator ng PCSO." Mataray na sabi nito.
"Aba! Wag mo akong tarayan Anghel ka! Baka gusto mong ikaw ang patrabahuin ko ng mga ginagawa ko." Ani Aling Estella.
Tumawa ng pilit si Angel. "Ano ka ba naman tita! Joke lang yun no."
Naputol ang pag-uusap nila nang bumaba si Myracle sa hagdan habang umiiyak. Dali-dali nilang binitawan ang mga ginagawa nila at pinalibutan si Myracle.
"Ma'am anong nangyari sainyo?"
"Okay lang po ba kayo?"
"Bakit po kayo umiiyak?"
Pumalahaw ng iyak si Myracle. "Waaahhh! Huhuhuhu! I hate you Ace! I hate youu! Huhuhu!"
The maids look at each other then back to Myracle.
"Kaya naman pala!"
"Mag-asawa nga naman." Ani ni Sheena. Ang pinakabata sa kanila.
"LQ kang pala."
Inalo ni Aling Estella si Myracle. "Ano ba kasing nangyari?"
Suminghot-singhot si Myracle. "K-kasi .. kasi.. k-kinain nya yung labi ko. Huhuhu.. T-tapos kinagat nya pa. Waaahhh! Huhuhu he's a cannibal! I hate him."
Tulalang tiningnan ng mga maids si Myracle. Hindi maproseso sa isip nila ang sinabi ni Myracle.

"OH MY GODDDD!!!"
"OH EM GEE! MAGKAKACHIKITING NA TAYO!"
"BWAHAHAHA! IBA RIN SI MASTER EH NO?"
"AMO NAMIN YAN! WAHAHAHA"
Napuno ng tilian ang bahay ni Xenon. Ang iba ay naglulupasay na sa kilig, yung iba naman ay sumasayaw.
Natigil si Myracle sa pag-iyak ng makitang masasaya ang mga maid. "B-bakit kayo masaya?" Pinunasan ni Myracle ang luha sa pisngi nya. "I-isali nyo naman ako. May occasion ba?" Singhot na sabi nya.
Napapoker face ang mga maid sa sinabi nya.
What do they expect? Myracle will not be Myracle if she's not like that.
"Ano pa bang aasahan ko sayo Ma'am?" Nakafacepalm na ani ni Joy.
"Buti sana kung magagamit natin yang ka-inosentehan mo sa pang aakit kay Master." Naiiling na sabi ni Sheena.
Napatingin ang mga maid sa kanya. Tinaasan sila ng kilay nito. "What?"
Pumalakpak si Monic. "Perfect ka dyan! Gagamitin natin ang kainosentehan ni Ma'am para maakit si Master." Ngumisi ito. "tingnan natin kung hindi pa magkaroon ng chikiting dito sa mansion."
Kumunot ang noo ni Myracle sa pinagsasasabi ng mga maids. "Ano bang pinag-uusapan nyo? Tsaka sinong aakitin?"
Ngumisi ang mga maids. "Just sit and learn Ma'am. I'm sure sa susunod na buwan malaki na ang tyan mo."
Myracle's eyes widened. "Papainumin nyo ako ng lobo?"
Umirap si Sheena. "Bahala ka nga Ma'am! Basta may plano kami. Operation: palobo-hin ang tyan ni Ma'am sa susunod na buwan. Bwahahaha!"
Binatukan ito ni Monic. "Tanga! Operation: Akitin si Master na buntisin si Ma'am."
"Oh shut up nic! Basta operation: magkaroon ng chikiting dito sa mansion." Nakangising sabi ni Joy.
"Tama!" Segunda ng mga maid.
Nagtatakang tiningnan ni Myracle ang mga maid na nakangising nakatingin sa kanya.
NAPATIGIL ANG MGA empleyado sa pagtatrabaho at tulalang tiningnan ang boss nilang wagas kung makangiti.
Simula ng pumasok ito kanina ay di na mawala ang mga ngiti sa labi nito. The employees are bewildered.
In their almost 10 years of working in AC company, not even a single time they saw their boss smiled. Not until now, Xenon was smiling for a half an hour already and it's a sight to be hold.
"Woah! Iba ang ngiti natin ngayon boss ah! Ano yan ha?" Sabi ni Rahnzeel.
"Siguro naka-score ka no?" Tukso ni Hanzen.
Xenon look at them, poker face. "You regain your voice already? Want me to tell Myracle to poison you again?"
Natahimik ang dalawa sa sinabi ni Xenon. They don't want to get through that again. Living without voice is terrifying.
"Joke lang naman boss." Mahinang sabi ni Rahnzeel.
Tahimik na tiningnan ni Jahnzeel si Xenon. "Boss, Can I ask a question?" Seryosong saad nito.
Sumandal si Xenon sa swivel chair at pinaikot.
"Its about Ella.. Is it possible.. that she is an enemy?"
Napatigil sa kinauupuan sila Ruzziel sa narinig. It once occurd in their mind but no one start to ask Xenon about it.
Xenon closed his eyes and c***k his neck. "That.." he took a deep breath. "is the question I can't answered."
Hanzen and Jahnzeel stand up and was about to leave when Xenon spoke.
"But.." Xenon continue that made Jahnzeel stop. "She can be an ally or enemy if we wanted to."
Xenon stare at the window and smiled. "Don't worry about her. She is my 'wife' after all."
They gaped while looking at the back of Xenon. They might not see him but they know that he is smiling.
Napailing silang lahat sa sinabi ni Xenon. There are so many things that change him in just a short period of time.
Looking at each other, they already knew the answer. Things change when Xenon meet her.
When he meet an innocent mysterious girl named Myracle.
******
XENON STARE AT THE FILES he's holding but as he expected, it's all fake. He took a deep breath and massage his temple.
File Info:
Name: Myracle Ella Silvestre
Mother: Deceased
Father: Deceased
Sibling/s: Deceased
Other Information: None
Maybe he should dig deeper. With that thought, he stand up and go directly to where is the book shelf and push aside the books.
He fingers search for something and when he touch it, he smirk. He type the password and the book shelf itself turned into half.
He step inside in his hacking room. Its been a while since he use this room. Wherever you look at, only a computers will welcome you.
He look at the sensor and after a while it start to check him.
"Body checking... Body checking.."
The sensor turn to green. It means, it recognizes Xenon.
"Recognize.."
Xenon sit in the chair but before he could touch his computer, the sensor point a laser through his eyes.
"Acquiring Password.. Acquiring Password.."
"Aizen is Handsome." Nakangising sabi nya habang nakatingin sa laser.
"Password Acquired."
After he said that, a hologram appear in his computer.
"Damn! Kahit ilang beses ko na narinig ang password mo, di ko pa rin mapigilang kilabutan." Nakangiwing saad ng nasa hologram.
"Oh shut up Oxhyl. I might kick your a*s now." Xenon said smirking.
"Eh? But I'm a hologram dude. You can't kick my lovely ass."
Napangiwi si Xenon nang makitang tinapik nito ang pwet nito. "Fvck! Gross!"
Oxhyl look at him flatly. "Kung di lang talaga kita boss baka nasuntok na kita."
Napailing si Xenon sa sinabi nito. But he talk like I'm not his boss. "And if you're not useful, you are already killed long time ago."
Napahawak si Oxhyl sa dibdib nito. "Ouch! May tumusok yata sa puso ko."
"Stop your drama! Anyway, get out. I'm gonna search for something and you're hindering me." Seryosong sabi ni Xenon.
Oxhyl cleared his throat and look at Xenon, coldly. "I have an information boss regarding the Five Families."
Biglang umiba ang timpla ng mukha ni Xenon sa narinig. "You have an information about them, meaning, they are still active?"
Tumango si Oxhyl. "Yes. The Four Families is active but the other one is missing."
Kumunot ang noo ni Xenon sa narinig. "Missing?"
"Actually, no. Its like, they dissapear without a trace. I'm having a hard time accessing their file." Ani Oxhyl.
'I'm having a hard time accessing their file'
' I'm having a hard time accessing their file'
' I'm having a hard time accessing their file'
Saglit na natigilan si Xenon sa sinabi ni Oxhyl. Why do I feel like I heard it before?
'Kare no shisan ni akusesu suru no wa muzukashī'
Xenon stilled and slowly, he smirk. So that is,huh? My instinct can't be wrong.
"--ss"
Damn you fvcktards! As if I'd let you!
"Boss"
Napatiim bagang si Xenon. No one will get into him. No one.
"BOSS!"
Nabalik sa reyalidad si Xenon nang sumigaw si Oxhyl. He's too pre-occupied to that matters that he didn't even realize how important this conversation is.
"I'm sorry, what is it again?" Wala sa sariling sabi nya.
Its Oxhyl's time to be confused. "Are you okay boss? Do you want me to tell you next time?"
"No." Agad na sabi ni Xenon. "Continue."
Umayos ng upo si Oxhyl. "As what I've said boss. The Four Families is currently at Las Vegas. But I don't know the exact location."
"How about the other one?" Xenon asked.
"Like what I've said, they dissapear without a trace. All I know is, their last transaction went wrong and after that, they went missing--or so I thought." Oxhyl explained.
Napaisip si Xenon sa sinabi ni Oxhyl. How could that be?
"These Four Families is in Las Vegas yet you don't know the exact location right?" Xenon asked.
"Yes boss."
"So, how come the other families is here?" Seryosong tanong ni Xenon.
Oxhyl's eyes widened a bit. "In the Philippines? Are you sure boss?"
Xenon shrugged. "Maybe. Actually, their underling is in my company right now."
Oxhyl slammed his hand in the table. "WHAAT? But that's impossible. Philippines is the last country they would ever visit. How come they are in the Philippines?"
Xenon tsked. "Better know it Oxhyl or I will go there and kick your a*s off."
Oxhyl pout. "But I'm a hundred miles away from there, you know?"
Xenon let out a loud breath. "The Four Families is not in Las Vegas. Maybe they are here in the Philippines. Make sure you're in contact with them."
"Yes boss." May kinuha si Oxhyl na files sa ibabaw ng lamesa at pinakita ito kay Xenon. "18 years ago, the Five Families start to dissapear one by one. No one knows the reason behind it. And then, after 9 years, their death began to spread all over the world. Many yakuza's tried to replace them but no one succeed."
"Apparently, there is a certain organization who is said to be the one who's eliminating the bandits that is trying to go against them." Pagpapatuloy ni Oxhyl.
"Did you already investigated that organization?" Tanong ni Xenon.
"Not yet boss. But I heard they were a group of girls and is very poisonous." Oxhyl said.
"What are they? Human experimentation?" Nakakunot-noong tanong ni Xenon.
"Not sure boss. I'll go and investigate it." Paalam ni Oxhyl.
Xenon shake his head. "I'll do the investigation. You, must report to me whatever the Four Families are doing."
"How about the other Family?" Tanong ni Oxhyl.
"Let them. Your first priority is to find the exact location of the Four Families and report to me whatever they're doing. Got it?"
Oxhyl nod. "Yes boss." After he said that, the hologram dissapeared.
Xenon paused for a while before opening his computer. "Damn! Looks like I've got to delay investigating that lady."
While typing, an email popped up in his computer. Staring at that, he cracked his neck.
"This better be good f*ckers!" Ani Xenon sa sarili.
He clicked the email but another email popped up again. He, then, clicked it again but just like the first one, another email popped up again.
He impatiently sigh. Once again, he click the email and finally, it opened.
It's an attachment that was sent by Oxhyl. He open it and a pattern welcome him.
He smirk realizing why it was a pattern. It's a code. Usually, if they were sending some important information, they would make it look as a pattern. But the truth is, it's a code.
His hand search for the keyboard and fastly decipher it.
G A M B I N O F A M I L Y
Xenon paused and clench his fist. He don't know yet what family killed his mother but the Gambino Family has been one of his suspect.
All his life, he's been searching and finding for the justice he want for his mother yet he failed.
He secretly studied being a sleuth. No one knows it. As in no one. Even his friends don't know it.
He don't trust anyone when it comes to secrets. For him, everyone can be an enemy if they want to. No friend and no Family. They would eventually leave you in the dark.
Like what the other say, even your own shadow leave you in the dark. It'll only be back once a light comes again.
In short, if you're down, everybody leaves you. And if you rise, everyone will come to you.
