Chapter 8
Ahhh.....I need to go....pilit niyang hininila ang kanyang palapulsuhan.
How old are you Aurora?he asked her.
Ahmmm....s-seventeen.
Yumuko ito bumuntong-hininga.
Too young he whispered na hindi nakaligtas sa matalas niyang pandinig.
Tama ba ang nakikita niya sa mga mata nito?panghihinayang?
I will be turning 18 after three months!yes....Ano bang ginagawa mo Aurora?!ano naman sa kanya kung magdidisiotso ka na?bakit ko ba nasabi yon?!
Muling umangat ang mukha ng binata sa kanya.
Then I will wait for that day to come....
Huh?Hindi niya mawari ang ibig nitong sabihin.
Now tell me what happen to your feet?tanong nito habang nag-uumpisa itong kumain.
Ahmmm......umupo siya sa silya at sinabi ang nangyari kagabi.Napatingin ito sa kanya.
You did it?did you know how much dangerous to go there?why did you do that?!nabitiwan nito ang kutsara.
Because your wounded and weak last night.We can't send Hitoshi there because there's no one who will to protect and stay with you here so I decided to go there.Paliwanag niya na siyang ikinagulat niya.
Naputol ang usapan nila ng dumating si Azuka.Agad siyang nagpaalam sa binata at iniwan ang mga ito.
Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin niya ang nagdududang mga mata nito.
Isinara niya ang pinto at bumalik sa kusina.
Aurora halika na at kumain na tayo wika nito habang naglalagay ng plato sa hapag-kainan.
Umupo siya at maganang kumain.
Kumusta yang sugat mo?tanong nito sa kanya.
Maayos naman manang.....medyo kumikirot pa subalit hindi na gaano sagot niya.
Maghapon ay inabala niya ang sarili sa paggawa ng gawaing-bahay upang maibsan ang lungkot na nadarama dahil sa pangungulila sa kanyang pamilya.
Sinitchi touch his back.It's still in pain and he can't go back to work because the doctor told him to rest.
Be careful with that woman Sinitchi better for you to send her away before it's too late for you.
Shut up your mouth or someone might gonna heard us!saway niya kay Azuka.
The person you are doubting saved my life!If it's not because of her maybe now I'm dead.
He still thinking by what Azuka said to him.Maybe he showed too much kindness to her.His mind always occupied by her.But this young woman saved his life.
What happened to you is a big question.
How could those people attempt to kill you?you are been so good to them?
Maybe you need to use a little bit violence and show your power to them.He suggested.
Azuka remember that people are not the same just like us.I didn't know who they are but I'm sure those are against us.
It's started the first time he saw her walking with her friends three years ago.
He can't forget the way she smiled that day.
After his previous relationship he never took a glance with a woman not until he saw her.And when his fellow soldiers wants to do something bad to her he saved her and punish them.
He doesn't want any bullshits in his work.
He will do his duty without any f*****g shits.He will keep his loyalty to his country by doing his job properly.
He knows what other soldiers escapades and he's aware about it.Sometimes they are using their power to abused and corrupt.But he's not like them.
He believe that showing kindness to anyone is the best that he can do.
He stood up and open his window.
She's outside busy hanging some clothes.He swallowed as he watched her gracefully moved.Her dress that suits her better even it's just an ordinary dress.
He pissed off and close the window.
He raise his arms and face the walls.
Sinitchi what are you doing?!she's too young oh f**k!He close his eyes and he saw her image in his mind.
It's been a while since he taste woman.
Maybe he just needs someone to ease his f*****g desire.
Sa isang liblib at tagong kweba ay lihim na nagaganap ang isang pagpupulong kasama ang ilang mga traidor na sumasalungat sa mga mabubuting mamamayan at tuwid na opisyal.
You failed to kill Sinitchi.....it's our chance but what you did?tanong ng sundalong hapon sa kanya.
Someone interfere with my business.
Who is that f*****g person?inis na tanong nito.
She's one of his people..
What....?!well that arrogant Yoshida has something with that girl.Keep an eye to them.
Yes sir.....the woman vow and bid goodbye to them.
Are you sure we can trust her?tanong nito sa tauhan.
Height ....I'm sure of it.
Well that's good....the leadership will be mine soon and that Yoshida will be gone...
What....?
You heard it the other troops made attack to the nearest towns and villages without notice.
That bastard Masaki!that's why we can't talk nicely to the people of this country because of them!
What are we going to do?Akira ask him.
Leave it to me.
Ayan...!malinis na....abala siya sa pagkukuskos ng buong kabahayan.
Mamaya ay magpapaalam siya kay Sinitchi.Nais niyang makita ang kanyang mga kanayon.
Kumatok siya sa pinto ng silid na kinaroroonan nito.Dito madalas mag-usap ang amo at ang kaibigan nito.
Come in .....she heard his baritone voice inside.Para siyang nakalutang sa alapaap.
Naudlot ang sandaling paglipad ng kanyang isip ng bumungad ang guwapong mukha ni Sinitchi.
Ohhh.....!why it takes you so long...?come in ...
I'm sorry .....pumasok siya sa loob.
Sit down....he said.
Umupo siya sa katapat na silya at pinagsalikop ang kanyang mga kamay.
I-i'd like to ask your permission....niya mettin mabain ka pay wika niya sa ilokano.Dali na Aurora sabihin mo na!wika niya.
I want to go to the town sir.....
You go alone?take Hitoshi with you or Divina...he suggested.
No....I want to go alone.....
Sinitchi raise his brow and gazed at her.
What you gonna do there?did you know it's too much dangerous for a woman like you to go alone?wika ng binata.
O-okay I'll go with Hitoshi....I just want to buy something.....
Then go with Hitoshi...
Wala siyang nagawa at hindi na nakatanggi.
Hindi na sila nakapag-usap ni Isagani dahil nakabantay si Hitoshi.Bumili na lamang siya ng palamuti sa buhok at umuwi na.
Kinagabihan ay siniguro niyang tulog na ang lahat.Nilingon niya si Dina na mahimbing ng natutulog.
Dahan-dahan siyang lumabas ng silid maging sa sala.
Nagtagumpay naman siyang nakalabas sa loob ng bahay ng walang nakakapansin.
Ibinalabal niya niya ang sarong sa ulo at nagsimulang tinahak ang daan patungo sa kinaroroonan ng mga kanayon.
Medyo may kalayuan din ito.
Mabilis siyang nagkubli sa masukal na bahagi ng may dumaang sasakyan ng mga sundalong hapon.
Nagmadali siya dahil kailangan niyang makabik agad.
