~The son's instinct~
Elizabeth's POV
I've been receiving envelopes with my pictures and a letter inside. Just like, what the heck? Where are those came from? Hindi ako nag-mamaarte dahil mayroon akong stalker, hindi, it just that, I find it so creepy.
Nang marinig ko ang tunog ng doorbell ng bahay I walk toward the gate then open it. Just like, What the again?! A red envelope for the nth time. Pag nalaman laman ko lang kung sino ang bwiset na taong nagpapadala ng envelope na pula na ito, I swear I will punch him or her hard.
Tumingin ako sa paligid para humanap ng taong pwedeng pagtanungan kung sino ang naglagay, pero nabigo ako dahil wala namang katao tao sa labas. Ito na yung sinasabi kong creepy talaga sya.
I don't have any choices so, I get the envelope and went to the kitchen to cook food for us. Alangan namang para sa kanila.
Ellieh's POV
I'm here at the window of my room, sitting on it. In my room, my window is my most favorite spot or place inside my room. I accidentally glanced down and I saw a man's shadow behind the tree.
Spy, huh?
Who the heck is that?! I look down and I saw a tree so I quickly jump then when my feet already landed on the big brunch of the tree, I quickly balanced myself before I fall.
I jump quietly from the brunch and while walking quietly I get my folding knife from my pocket, which is always with me to protect myself... even though, I can do protect myself with or without any kind of any weapon.
When I'm near... I saw him still not moving and dancing with the air and I think he didn't recognize my presence. Well, that's good.
Test 1: Hide your presence. COMPLETED
"Who the hell are you?" I coldly asked the man while pointing my folding knife on his neck.
Shock. Is only his expression and I saw his eyes widen. According to his expression, he's scared to me. Why? I didn't do something to make him scared! I'm just a little boy but he's scared. Wow! Just wow! What a coward he is?!
Test 2: Make them scared. COMPLETED
With his wide eyes said, "I'm t-the one who sho-should a-ask yo-you tha-that," he said while stammering. Fear is visible on his eyes just like, what the heck? He's scared to me. That's ridiculous. Does my handsomeness scare him?
"I'm Ellieh. The man who destined to kill you." His eyes widen. He looks shocked. Is that impossible for a handsome kid like me?
He's looking at me with his nervous eyes. "Yo-your i-impossible," he nervously said while shaking his head.
I smirk, "then, make it possible." I coldly said with a deadly tone. I'm too young yet deadly. They don't know what I'm capable of.
I was about to give him wounds but I heard a shout, "Honey! Where are you?!"
"Be thankful that my mom is calling me," I said, scratching his cheeks. I know that it will leave a mark. And that's what I want.
"Run," I commanded so he quickly runs fast as he could.
I turned back my face to my usual expression. "Tss, weakling." I hissed then I quickly run to our garden. I also get my car toy in my secret box here in the garden, then sit peacefully at the grass as if there's nothing happen.
I heard some footsteps coming so, I act like an innocent son while playing the cars given by Mr. I don't know. I don't know if what is his name. He's also wearing a mask. And, it's weird.
I saw my mom entered the garden, "hu! Kala ko kung saan ka na napunta." My mom said while wearing a worried face then run towards me before hugging me. What's wrong with my mom?
My forehead creases, "Mom, what's wrong?" I ask while looking straight to her eyes. She looks away, avoiding my questioning stares.
She gulped then said, "no-nothing, Honey. Let get inside. It's getting dark in here." She said before standing. I gave her a last glance before fixing my eyeglasses.
Ang gwapo~ ko talega.
She carries me before walking to our kitchen. Maybe, we're going to eat our dinner beside it's already 6 and 15 in the evening.
As we go inside. Something caught my attention...
"What the..."
Someone's POV
"Ma-master!" Narinig kong tawag ng isa kong tauhan kaya naman napatingin ako sa kanya at nakita kong may hiwa sya sa pisnge nya. At nakakapagtaka dahil hindi lang sya basta basta hiwa. Letter 'E' pa.
Who's that E?
"What brings you here, bastard?" I ask, alam kong sanay na silang tinatawag na bastard because I used to call them, bastard ever since.
Huminga muna sya ng malalim bago nagpatuloy, "M-master, yu-yung anak n-nya..." Simula nya kaya naman naagaw nya kaagad ang atensyon ko.
"Any information about her son?" Tanong ko kaya bahagya syang tumango.
"Hindi sya basta-basta. Batang napaka-amo ng mukha pero may mala demonyong ugali. Nakakatakot na bata, sya ang may gawa ng sugat sa pisnge ko at sa tingin ko kung hindi sya hinanap ng nanay nya, malamang patay na ako. Napakalamig. Napakalamig ng boses at nakakatakot. Simpleng bata na may tinatagong agenda," paliwanag nya.
"Hindi sya basta-basta, Master." Dagdag nya pa. Kung gano'n kakaiba nga ang batang iyon. Nakakapagtaka sa tagal ko ng nagmamanman pero ni minsan di ko sya nakitang may kasamang lalaki. Sino ang tatay ng batang iyon? Paniguradong di lang basta basta ang tatay ng batang yun.
"Sino ang tatay?" Tanong ko at nakita ko namang napalunok sya dahil sa tanong ko. What's wrong? Wag nyang sabihing wala parin syang nakukuhang impormasyon tungkol sa tatay ng bata?
Lumunok muna siya bago nagsalita, "wa-wala p-pa po-pong le-lead," sagot nya kaya bahagya kong kinuha ang baril ko at itinutok sa kanyang noo.
"Dalawang buwan lang ang ibinigay ko sayo at hanggang ngayon ay wala ka paring nakukuha?!" Galit na sigaw ko habang nakatiim bagang. "Wala kang kwenta!" Binaril ko na agad ang noo nya pagkatapos ko magsalita, baka di ako makapagtimpi at idamay ko ang pamilya nya.
Walang kwentang nilalang.
"Clean this mess. After, leave and kidnap her son. Wag na wag kayong babalik hangga't di nyo kasama ang bata." Utos ko at umalis na ako bago pa sila magsalita. Mga wala silang kwenta!
Ellieh's POV
"Mom, wake up," I said then patted her cheeks. My mom is really beautiful. Ow~ I was mistaken, beautiful is not enough to describe my mom. Her beauty is like a Goddess. And I admire it.
She moves slightly and groaned, "hmm. It's too early, baby," she said while putting her blanket back.
I sigh, "Mom, it's already 7 in the morning. I want to go with you to your office." I said again but she didn't listen so I stand beside her and jumped.
"Mommy, wake up! Wake. Up. Wake up!" I shout while jumping in my mom's bed. This is quite enjoyable, huh.
I heard my mom chuckle before pulling my foot towards her, causing me to lay beside her then she hugged me.
"Opo gigising na po." She said while chuckling. "I'm awake na," she added then kissed me on my forehead then she hugged me again. Sweet.
She faced me then said, "always remember that Mommy loves you so much." She sweetly said to me before giving me her genuine smile.
"Your Ellieh loves you too." I sweetly replied before smiling at my mom.

"Good morning, ma'am, sir."
"Have a good day, ma'am, sir."
"Good day, ma'am, sir."
They greeted me and mom. Nod and smile is only her answer. We're now walking towards my mom's office. She's wearing a simple black dress with a white blazer while me, a white shirt with the black blazer then black pants.
"Ang gwapo talaga ng anak ni ma'am." See, they said, I'M HANDSOME.
"Alam ko, di ako bulag."
"Gwapo siguro ang tatay nya."
"Aba syempre. Ang ganda ganda ni maam e."
"Tingnan mo, ang ganda pa ng mata."
I heard all of their compliments. Well, all of it is true. I'm too handsome in my outfit— I mean I'm handsome every time not just like this time.
When we reached my Mom's office she faced me then ask me, "Hey, baby, do you want something?" She asks while looking at me with her genuine smile.
I shook my head. "Nothing Mom," I said then sit properly. I saw a rubrics cube under the table so I get it and played it.
I was fixing the rubrics cube when suddenly I heard knows. I bet Mom also heard it.
"Come in," my mom said, then I saw a girl entered the room, I think it's my mom's secretary. I can feel something about her presence. It's not normal.
She smiled, "good morning ma'am, I'm here to give you your schedule for this day." She started, Mom just gives her a nod as an answer.
"This coming 9:00 am you have a meeting with the President of Rodriguez Corporation, Mr.Hendrix Rodriguez. And this 10:00 am, it's blank here so it seems that it's your vacant. At 12:30 pm after lunch, Mr.M will come here to discuss some matters. Then last, 3:00 PM will be the board meeting. That's all, ma'am." She said then smiled at me when she recognizes that I'm looking at her.
"Okay, you may now leave," my mom command. She just bows her head then leave.
I cleared my throat before continuing, "Mom, I'm just going to walk there," I said while fixing myself in front of the mirror. Why do I need to be this handsome as Greek gods? Tsk! Tsk!
"Okay, I'm just going to call my secretary to accompany you," she said.
I shook my head in an instant, "no need mom, I can handle myself," I said so she nod as an answer.
"Take care,"
While walking here in the hallway I suddenly felt some strange presence. They're planning something.
I didn't bother the presence I'd felt I just continue walking, they're still following me so I went to the parking lot.
When I reached the parking lot I stopped then speak, "who the hell are you?" I asked but they didn't appear, they're pissing me, huh.
I sigh deeply. "Again, who the hell are you? Who sent you here? Don't make me repeat my words. You wouldn't like it," I deadly said then they appear in front of me. Perks of having this handsome face and intimidating presence.
I saw the guy smirked. "Tama nga sya, kakaiba kang bata ka," the leader said, I think. All I can say is...
He's ugly as hell. Geez.
"I don't care," I boringly said then rolled my eyes.
I saw their I-think-their-leader's forehead creased, and that makes him uglier. "Kunin ang bata!" He commands his opponents but before they can touch me they're already laying at the floor with a knife in their foreheads. Good job, Ellieh. Aside from being handsome, you're really good.
"What a nice scene?"
Then I heard a hand clap.
