A Wife by Chance

Chapter 32

Because of yesterday's file of work , Nica wasn't able to make on time to report to work. But different things happen on Sedrick's side the moment he reach the company lobby, it's still 5mins. before 8am and why his people are still here? Until he noticed the eight people in uniform. Four are the military officials and another four were police in uniform and they are not ordinary kind.

"Good morning Mr.Moore, Mr. Yap!" sunod-sunod na pagbati sa mga emplerado pati ang nasa reception area.

"Good morning Mr. Moore! sorry for making interruptions on your place."

"Good morning gentlemen!.., it's not yet working time so ..never mind it. Should I assume that we did something that able to bring you early in the morning, I hope we didn't. "

"Don't worry Mr. Moore, we came here to meet your acting president Ms. Sanchez."

"I'm the president here so you can discuss it with me as well. I think she's not here yet, how about let's proceed to my office and have some coffee. "

"Thank you Mr. Moore, but we don't want to disturb your business knowing that your time is precious. We can stay here and wait when she comes."

"okey then, but won't you mind to tell me if what violations she made?"

"Don't worry Mr.Moore, we can afford to wait her even a whole day. After all she's worth to wait."

"let's wait her together, I want also to know the reason behind this, she's my responsibility. "

Tahimik ang lahat habang nag-aabang sa pagdating ni Nica. Nasa gitna ng lobby ang sampong Tao, habang okupado naman ang buong gilid ng building sa mga empleyado na gusto rin malaman ang dahilan.

8:18am ng pumarada ang sasakyan ni Nica sa labas ng building lahat ay nakatingin sa kanya. Hanggang sa kanyang pagbaba ay nakasunod ang mata sa lahat.

Pero ang ikinagulat ng lahat ang paggalaw ng walong naka uniforms, gumalaw ng dalawang linya na magkaharap. The moment she step in and walk ay biglang humarap ang dalawang linya at nag salute sa kanya na mas lalung ikinagulat ng lahat.

Hindi nagbaba ng kamay ang mga ito at naghihintay sa command ni Nica. Kahit malaki ang kanyang tyan ay tumayu siya ng tuwid at binitawan ang dalang bag at nag salute sa mga ito. Pagbaba niya sa kamay ay saka pa nagbabaan ang mga ito.

Alam ni Nica na may dahilan ang pagpunta nila, pero hindi niya poyde ibukang bibig ito. She look around at ganon nalang pagkamangha dahil punong puno ang gilid ng lobby.

"Everyone! good morning! good morning boss! Ano ba ang gusto niyung marinig? dahil nandito kayu at nag-aabang sa aking pagdating....salamat ha?!"

Parang nahihiya ang mga ito dahil yumuko ang ulo.

"okey!.. I'll feed your curiosity! they are my brothers in arm... to be specifics i was one of them during my younger years..."

nakangiti siya habang sinasabi yun.

Halus hindi makapaniwala ang mga ito sa kanilang narinig, ang sunod nilang nakita at narinig ay mula na sa mga taong naka uniform.

"Captain Sanchez Congratulation!"

"Captain Sanchez Congratulation!"

"Congratulation Captain Sanchez!"

"Congratulation Captain Sanchez!"

Pati ang dalawang lalaki na nasa gilid nila ay hindi makapaniwala sa narinig. Ang alam lang nila ay dati itong alagad ng batas, but never come to their mind or it never cross to them that she's this big.

"I know you don't come just to congagulate me., lets talk about it in my office. "

Binalingan din niya ang mga company employees, "everyone! after we leave proceed to your work! there's nothing special around"

Unang umakyat ang kanilang panauhin kasama si Tony at naiwan sina Sedrick na dinampot ang bag ni Nica sa sahig at sumunod silang umakyat. Pero ang ginawang galaw ni Sedrick ay hindi nakaligtas sa mga matang nandoon. At alam ni Nica yun, pero wala siyang magagawa dahil hindi naman niya kayang damputin ang kanyang sariling bag.

Hinayaan nakang niyang nasa mga kamay ni Sedrick ang kanyang bag dahil sa totoo lang tinatamad siyang gumalaw ngayun. Parang ang bigat ng katawan niya at mahahalata the way she walk, Nang makapasok sila sa loob ng elevator ay hindi napigilan ni Sedrick na maawa dito.

"Are you okey babe?" nasanay na siyang tawagin ito ng ano-ano.

"i don't know.. i lost my body control now "

"is it gard?"

"yeah... its hard, difficult and tired"

Upon hearing her answer, he can't help but get mad on himself for adding her difficulties, kakausapin nalang niya ito mamaya. The moment they enter the conference room Ysa and Tony are serving those men with water and coffee. Since they are not businessman so they talk straight.

"Captain we are sorry for disturbing your time but we came here for your help" tapos nilingon nito sina Tony at Sedrick.

Nica is now setting in the center while Sedrick on her right side. He let her take the position because this matter belongs to her. The men in uniform set each side of the room.

"gentlemen we can proceed they are not outsider" she mean Sedrick and Tony who's on the side but she let Ysa leave. ",Ysa you may go now, Tony is here, thank you!"

"Captain, we are facing now a kind of drugs that came from China and manufactured in Myanmar.

Upon hearing this Nica have her own clue if she is not mistaken, it was her last unfinished mission.

"you look for me because of it? but i already leave my service long time ago."

"We know but we asked the Falcon for their help but they will only do it if you were with them"

"as you can see im pregnant! what help could i give to you? and the Falcon... are they tired for breathing my name?".

"We all know that this kind of case the best one to handle is you and your team."

"Since im once a service person, so tell me why and how this things work in the society?"

"we discovered this about 2months ago, we're doing milirary drill but a series of bomb explosion happened near by. We deployed our men and able to catch those people but 75% of them were shot and killed. As we do interrogation we found that those people who killed their brothers are the one who plant the bombs on their goods."

"To be specific their transaction was being exposed and ruined by those women in black.They don't leave any goods in that placed and able to distroy it all"

"women? so what do you think of those women's move?"

"We can't deny that we are thankful of them but on other hand dapat e daan sa maayus na pamamaraan."

"hmmm... maayus na pamamaraan? but let me ask you this, if the bomb explosion never happened do you think you huys we're aware of that kind of drugs and the drug transactions and dealings? and its a shame it happened near to your area."

"It's a big slap to us after knowing that this kind of drug already took place to the society. Perhaps its been a year since it reach to the market. "

"i think you don't need me or the Falcon, how about asking those so called women in black, they are more reliable i think."

Si Tony at Sedrick ay nakikinig lang pero hindi nila alam may ganitong side si Nica na kahit itong mga klaseng tao ang kaharap niya ay malaki ang respitong binigay.

"We can't get any trace from them, and they were only 3people. I think they're those high trained and well built and knowledgeable. "

"i agree on that for they step first before you did by chance (sound of mocking ). If you were given a chance to meet them., what would be your judgement on their pass actions?"

"if they are for our side, definitely we will spare them and they should work under our command."

"really? what if...I DON'T WANT!!!"

Nag-iba ang tuno ni Nica pati narin ang kanyang mata na ikinagulat sa mga tao sa loob.

"Captain you mean, its you who make that move?"

"What if its me or not?"

"it make sense if it were done by you... 75% of those armed people were killed, only someone like you could manage to handle that event well."

"your kidding me? you really do believe that its me,"

"then who else than you?.... if other may do it, then what's the reason on destroying those goods "

"Im pregnant, and about to due in few days, base on the duration 2months ago... I'm on my 7th month then, do you think I'm still capable on doing so?"

Ang mga tao sa harap niya ay may duda ang mga mukha, maliban sa kanya ay mahirap makakita ng babae na tulad niyang gumalaw. Kung hindi sinabi ng mga nahuli na babae ay poyde silang magduda sa iba. Alam ng lahat na nasa loob ng silid kung ano ang kaya niyang poyde gawin maliban nalang sa dalawang nakikinig lang .
