PROLOGUE
"Go to the left side." Digit commanded him sharply, and he did what his cousin said.
"A little step..." he walks slowly while preparing for his moves.
"Stop.." Nakikita niya na ang paparating na tauhan ni Mr. Kim, maingat siyang naglakad at iritang ipinilig ang ulo.
"Zero, check the footage on the 9th floor, I'm coming" he said thoughtfully, waiting for Digit to command.
And a group of morons lay on the floor with a gallon of bloods in their shitty face.
"Nice shoot, Digit. I could kiss you right now," he smirks.
"Tsk how dare you, f*****g move."
inayos niya ang ear device na sout sa kaliwang tenga habang tumatakbo, then he quickly full the trigger and shot one of Mr. Kim's man.
Ipinilig niya ang ulo nang may malala. Like a sudden gust of wind, someone swept through his mind
"f**k, that smile affected my thoughts" he admitted.
"I can clearly see Kim now, he's at the Lobby. There is no one on the ninth floor King, make your move fast." His cousin Zero declared, but damn him, he can't even move his body, that woman is floating in his Imagination.
"f**k King, move! We only have ten minutes" Digit shouts at the line, but he can't really make a single move, like he is a newly made statue.
"Hey dickhead, may tangina sa hulihan ni King." Zero shouted too. Heartened by her smile, he chose to think of her rather than listen to his cousins.
"There are three of them, Kingxer move a bit natatakpanan mo sila."
"Damn why is she in my..." He murmured. Bago pa siya mabaliw ng husto sa babaeng iyon ay kinagat niya ang ibabang labi para pigilan ang sarili, gusto ng mag focus, ngunit napatumba na siya ng bala sa tiyan.
"Goddammit! Kingxer" Digit released a cuss.
Kingxer groans and winches in pain, then another bullet hugs his legs.
"Fvck! fvck! fvck!" todo mura siyang napahawak sa sugat niya. Bago niya pa mabaril ang tauhan ni Mr. Kim ay naunahan na siya ni Digit.
"You're a good sniper Digit, Mahal talaga kita," nag flying kiss siya sa ere.
"Fvck you King, Naka alis na si Kim." sambit ni Zero sa kabilang linya. Iritado.
"Urgh I can't feel my legs, it's f*****g hurts, Digit help me here," napangiwi siya sa sobrang sakit ng tama niya, pinagmumura siya ni Digit na ngayon ay nakita niyang bumababa na sa roof top ng kabilang building. Nang may armadong tao ang humarang dito ay bigla nitong naipatumba.
"Zero, Check the footage at the lobby sundan mo..." in the middle of dizziness he managed to speak.
Zero cut him off. "I'm doing my work here, professionally." Diin nito sa huling linya.
"Thanks, buddy."
"Damn you, King. You just ruined my plan," was his reply.
It took Digit a few minutes before fetching him. Nang makalapit ang pinsan ay tinulungan siya nitong tumayo at inikay palabas ng building na yon.
" I want to punch your fvcking face right now" Digit's eyebrows furrowed.
Padabog siya nitong pinasok sa sasakyan, wala man lang pakealam kahit may natamo na siyang sugat, at baka yon pa ang maging cause of death niya.
"You just saved my ass, but I'm dizzy" asar niya sa pinsan ang huling natandaan bago bumagsak ay ang pagkaltok nito sa kanya.
KINGXER blew a loud breath, He's cleaning his deep wound near his chest, that freaking bullet nearly end his life. Nearly? Na-ah hindi naman ata, kahit ilang bala pa yan kaya nya. Hasa na siya sa nakakamatay nilang training kahit noong labing dalawang taong gulang palang siya.
"You should be fvcking careful next time, King." His cousin does'nt sound worried at all.
"'Kay'kay sorry for the mess, I just, I just can't think straight, I don't know what happened to me. Maybe she bewitched me" he rolled his eyes dismissively.
"She who?" Digit frowned at him, like he's already disgusted for what he is about to confess.
"Tsk, that girl, I was in f*****g daze earlier when that bastard shot me, her smile continuously played in my f*****g mind for the whole day, I forgot I'm in a mission " He placed a roll gauze pad in his wound and lied comfortable.
"Kingxer IV don't f**k around, hindi na matinong kausap si Zero ngayon dahil kay Strawberry, dahil sa babae! tapos ngayon ikaw na naman? "
"Man, I don't f**k around, Hindi ko lang alam kung anong nangyayari saakin at sa putanginang isipan ko, I swear I won't fail my next mission," he grabbed his cigarette at sinindihan yon saka bumuga ng usok. Kailangan niya ng stress reliever.
"Alright, stick to your words, see yah around." Naglakad na paalis ang pinsan niya at iniwan siya sa kanyang silid.
"Ahh those eyes just made me f*****g insane," ginawa niyang unan ang isa niyang braso at pumasok na naman sa kanyang isipin ang mukha ng babaeng halos pumatay na sakanya.
Yeah that's her fault, because of her smile he nearly got killed. Alright, he's being dramatic again. He'll quit it. Muntik lang siyang mapahamak, ganon na lang.
Hindi niya napakinggan ang sinasabi sa kaniya ni Digit kanina dahil paulit-ulit na naglalakbay sa diwa niya ang babae. Ano kaya ang pangalan ng maganda na iyon?
Tumayo siya at pumunta sa mini kitchen nila para kumuha ng malamig na tubig, nang makabalik siya sa sofa ay naka upo na doon ang isa niyang pinsan. May hawak itong gitara at kumakanta ng always be my baby habang titig na titig sa litrato ng isang babae.
He sat beside his cousin and look at the picture too.
"She's pretty." He compliments the girl in the picture. His cousin didn't bother to give him a response until he finished the song.
"She is, I just saw her today after so many years."
"So, what's your plan?" His cousin looks at him, confused.
"Haven't you been listening to the song? I just sung.... Oh darling, you can't escape me, 'cause you're always be my baby?" He laughs at his cousin. Okay he get it. He certainly knows his plan.
"Cranky, aren't we?... sorry, not paying attention to the lyrics. You sing so f*****g good." He shrugged his shoulder, and because his cousin is like having a menstruation, he stood up and left him. "Okay... Good luck with your plan, Douglas." He added.
Pumasok na siya sa silid niya habang nag hu-humm ng kanta na kinanta ni Douglas. A song just reminds him of something, so he unbotton his pants and only left nothing on his body before he lay on the bed. He's ready to reminisce about something.
The bass pulsed through the floor, vibrating up his legs. World outside the club faded away, replaced by the hypnotic beat and the swirling lights. He was lost in the music, in the unadulterated joy of a woman giving him a lap dance.
"Wanna f**k after this?" The woman whispers to him as she crazily moves her butt above him, then bites his neck.
"Very drool, but nah." He inclined his head and told the woman to stop. Umalis na ito sa kandungan niya, pagkatapos ay Ininom niya ang tirang alak sa table. He was about to stand up when a goddess walked in. May kakaiba siyang naramdaman sa mga oras na iyon. He can't name it, but the feeling he felt right at that moment is somewhat exciting.
His jaw clenched, he didn't care about the people around him, their faces were a blur, their voices a distant hum. His surroundings faded away.
There was only her.
Para itong musmus na bata, naliligaw, may hinahanap. Kahit ang sout nito ay hindi pang club. Naka dress ng kulay beige na abot sa tuhod ang haba, ang buhok ay naka butterfly cut, at parang transparent ang maputing balat na nasisilawan ng lights. Nakatitig siya sa bawat galaw nito.
Suddenly Jason Derulo's song played
Wait! In a f*****g club? Nagpapatugtog ba nang ganon?
'I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just tryna find ya
I've been like a maniac
Insomniac
Five steps behind ya
He stood up when another woman was about to approach him. He did drink a lot of vodka, but he can manage to compliment the goddess.
Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit check please
'Cause I finally found the girl of my dreams
He watched her, mesmerized, as she moved towards him, smiling, waving her hand... or not?
Much more than a grammy award
That's how much you mean to me...
Nilampasan siya nito. She didn't seem to notice his handsomeness!
He had to talk to her, to get to know her! Then his cellphone rang, inis niyang sinagot ang tawag.
"What?"
"Zero on a game!" Malutong na nagmumura ang kabilang linya
"And?"
"I need your fvcking backup, fvcker!"
Napa ngisi siya ng maalala ang tagpo na iyon.
"So unfortunate, I didn't get the chance to know your name, my sweet," he bit his lower lip seductively, pretending that girl in front of him, spreading her legs, yum.
"I wonder what your taste is? hmm malalaman ko din" Kingxer shut his eyes and let himself fall asleep.
Tomorrow he'll do the move.
