Chapter 4
The sun was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun... like my anger that time.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko kay Mama nang malaman ang bagay na iyon. I can't burst this indefinable feeling.
Anak ako ni Alivor Levesque. At hindi ko inakalang may kapatid akong buo.
I can't believe this bullshit.
Nakakagalit dahil mukhang mas malala ang pinagdaanan niya kaysa sa 'kin. Kahit papaano ay nakakasama ako ang mga kapatid at pinsan ko na Levesque... kahit 'di nila alam na kadugo nila ako.
Pero sa kaso ni Vielle, inilayo siya sa amin. Itinago sa lahat. Hindi ipinakilala.
"Your mother and my father had an affair. May anak sila.
I lifted my eyes to Leuxia.
My eyes were almost popping out in extreme shock. I swallowed hard because I can feel my heart pounding hard.
I was about to utter a word when she didn't let me.
"Nasa Santuario siya ngayon. Sinusubukang hanapin ni Ate."
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag doon. I almost thought that she's pertaining to me. Although, hindi ako sigurado sa sitwasyon nilang tatlo noon.
Ngunit 'di pa rin maiwasan ang bayolenteng reaksyon. Naulit na naman...
"Did you enjoy it?" I asked and smiled.
Thank goodness that Alexia found her. Sinusubukan naming bumawi sa kaniya.
Vielle nodded and smiled back.
"I've never been tried streetracing in Santuario. It's interesting."
I smirked, looking at her satisfied reaction.
Diretso ang tingin ko sa patag na kalsada habang humaharurot.
I suddenly remembered the peaceful days before with my sisters.
Nung mga oras na hindi pa siya nawawala. Iyon din ang araw ng huli kong punta sa junkyard sa Ventura's Garage kaya't naalala kong muli.
And now I'm coming back with Tria... like what I've said last night.
Pareho naming hindi alam ni Atasha ang dahilan kung bakit pero tumuloy kami. Isa pa, oras na rin siguro para bumalik kaming tuluyan.
The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. The golden fingers of sunlight lit up as it shone softly on the road with a flurry morning activity.
I can see vividly the light of dawn since I didn't wear my helmet.
Nawala sa isip ko ang dalang helmet kanina sa mansion ng mga Vanliere at naiwan iyon.
Nilingon ko sa side mirror ang mga Levesque na nakasunod din sa akin. I slowed down my speed when I can finally see the huge sign of Ventura's Garage.
Nang pumarada at makababa ay nagtagpo ang mga mata namin ni Atasha, parehong nagtataka. Sabay naming nilingon si Leuxia.
"The mission about smuggled motorcycle."
We nodded as Kael and Mako arrived.
Tinanaw ko sina Leuxia na tumawid at tinungo ang mga Bloodfeud. Prente akong sumandal habang nakatitig doon.
My brows shot up when I saw her going back with the other Bloodfeud and that includes Giusteo.
I shifted on my stance and stood straight.
My dagger eyes darted to him. He's looking back too.
"They will come with us inside," Leuxia spat, informing.
"Tss."
My glaring eyes were glued against him. I cursed inside my mind when I realized the situation here.
Tinulak siya ng isang pamilyar na Bloodfeud.
"Hindi ka ihuhulog niyan!"
"Move fast. We need to go there immediately."
Nanatili ang nakamamatay na titig ko sa kaniya.
"Dalian mo na Theo."
"Hindi niya yata ako pasasakayin-"
"Bakit hindi?" I smirked. "Sino ka ba?"
Bumaling ang mga mata niya sa akin kasabay ng pagkalaglag ng panga.
"Ano?" his brows shot up.
"Hindi ka pala kilala kung makaarte 'to," ani Bloodfeud.
"Shut up, Zyon," Giusteo glared him.
Umalis iyon nang senyasan nila Mako.
Bumaling ako sa motor at tuluyang sumakay. I can sense him doubting, seems like afraid in my harmless look.
I stayed still as I felt him riding. I smirked on his nervous face.
"Calm down, you won't die..."
"Storm you should- what the f**k?!" he cursed loudly.
I pursed my lips as he gripped on my shirt behind. Napakapit siya roon dahil sa biglaang harurot ko.
Dinig ko ang mahinang mura niya sa halos sumadsad na motor sa lupa dahil sa pagliko ko.
"Be thankful that I forgot my helmet now, Giusteo."
Natigilan siya nang marinig iyon. Nanatili ang titig niya sa akin mula sa salamin at halos matulala.
I leered before drifting with one hand. Agad siyang natauhan doon. I pursed my lips.
"Putangina?!"
Malutong na mura niya nang nag-inat ako ng dalawang braso sa gitna ng pagmamaneho. Napakapit siya sa bewang ko sa pag-aakalang matutumba kami.
Mabuti nalang at nauuna kami sa iba.
I can drive a motor with no hands for a bit longer time. I can still balance it.
"Calm down, I can balance. Huwag kang malikot," iritang untag ko.
"Dang. You're unbelievable."
He shook his head incredulously.
He stiffened when I held his hand on my waist. He gaped when I let it there with my own hand.
I smirked when he was the one who removed it first.
Kita ko ang gulat na mga mukha ng taong nadadaanan namin lalo't hindi na ako nakahelmet. Nakilala nila ako maliban kay Leuxia at Atasha na may suot ngayon.
Sakto iyon nang pagdating namin sa pinakadulo ng junkyard. Malinaw pa rin ang kabado niya ekspresyon hanggang sa makababa.
"Did you just hold my hand?" he asked with eyes widened.
I turned to him and flashed a lopsided smirk.
"So?"
Tinalikuran ko si Giusteo bago pa siya makasagot. I smirked while walking towards Leuxia with Yara.
"Om- Storm, Tasha?!" Yara blurt in surprise.
Ang mga tao sa paligid ay nanatiling nakatitig sa amin. Naninibago sa pagbalik namin.
They can't still handle our presense. Nanatili ang parehong reaksyon hanggang sa makapasok kami sa casino bar na pag-aari ni Allison, Auntie ni Yara.
"Storm?! Kamusta ka na?" a boy asked.
Hindi ko siya kilala pero mukhang matagal na tambay dito sa lugar. I just nod at him as a response.
I saw Bryson inside, looking at Leuxia with Trevan.
Hindi niya kasama kahit sino kila Damian o Vox. Dumiretso na kami nang anyayahan agad ni Allison.
I kept quiet, listening about Leuxia's question to her. I don't have any idea about their mission since I'm not a member from HA.
Hearing the prize of streetracing was doubting. I looked at Allison vigilantly and observed her. This is quite unsual.
Nanatiling magulo ang isip ko hanggang sa umalis kami doon. Napailing ako at binalewala iyon.
Mukhang marami na rin sigurong nagbago simula noong umalis kami rito.
"Hindi ka pa ba naaaksidente rito?" Giusteo suddenly blurt out.
Nakatingin lang siya sa akin habang nakasakay na ako sa motor. I looked at him lazily.
"No, not ever."
Pinasadahan ko siya ng tingin na kabado pa rin at nakatitig sa akin. Nanatiling diretso ang tayo sa gilid ng motor ko.
"Natatakot ka ba? Motor lang 'to," I leered.
"No, I'm not! Who said?"
I smirked mockingly and gestured him to ride. He swallowed hard, observing my Ducati.
"Okay, sakay ka na sa akin," untag ko.
"Ha?"
Tamad kong tinapik ang upuan ng motor.
"Ah! Oo, alam ko 'no..." he cursed silently. "Saan pa ba? Syempre sa motor lang."
My brows furrowed. I looked at him perplexedly before I shook my head.
Hindi pa rin nakaligtas ang malulutong niyang mura hanggang sa makarating kaming lahat sa mansion ng mga Vanliere.
I listened to their plan too. Napasama ako roon dahil naging parte sa plano. Tahimik akong nag-obserba.
Ngayon ko lang sila nakasama aa ganitong sitwasyon. I need to observe them better.
Leuxia is under this group. I can't let something bad will happen to her that caused by this group... if ever.
I walked outside their hideout. Dumiretso ako sa shooting range. I took my phone when I felt it vibrating.
"Azea..."
"Ma," I paused a bit. "Kamusta ang paghahanap kay Vielle? Wala pa rin bang balita?"
Tumikhim siya sa linya. Ilang saglit pa bago ito sumagot.
"Wala pa rin..."
Napabuntong hininga ako nang marinig iyon. Kahit dito ay 'di namin mamataan kahit pa anino niya lang.
I don't know what I will do. f**k it.
Inabala ko ang sarili sa mga baril na nakikita. I lifted my eyes when I saw someone coming.
He's a Bloodfeud member but I forgot his name.
Binalewala ko iyon at sinubukang gumamit ng baril. Patuloy ang pag-asinta ko, inilalabas ang kung anong hindi maipaliwanag na nararamdaman.
"Do you want some?" he asked.
I glanced at the cigarette case he offered. His eyes widened I took one.
"You smoke?" he asked in a surprise tone.
"Ano sa tingin mo ang ginagawa sa sigarilyo? Nginangata" I sarcastically asked.
He chuckled before he threw the lighter.
"I just didn't expect it."
I gazed at him lazily.
Nanatiling diretso na ang tingin ko sa kawalan habang naninigarilyo.
"Why do you smoke?" he asked.
"Gusto ko lang..."
"Oh, I thought for a particular reason too."
Sabay kaming napalingon sa paparating. I saw Giusteo and a Bloodfeud named Kaiden.
Giusteo's eyes widened looking at my hand, holding a cigarette.
"Wow, smoking buddies?"
"Bigyan mo rin daw isang stick si Theo, Laxner," natatawang untag ni Kaiden.
"Shut up, Vicente," Laxner glared him irritatedly.
I walked away as I stubbed my cigarette butt somewhere.
"Ah, ouch!" Giusteo exclaimed.
Natigilan ako at nilingon siya. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa paa niyang nakasapatos naman.
"Storm," he called mockingly and laughed.
I sarcastically smirked at him before turning my back. I leered on his laughter. That fucker.
Sa mansion ng mga Levesque na ako nagpalipas ng gabi. Lahat kaming tatlo ay naghanda para sa pagbabalik sa karera kahit 'di pa ito mismo sa GRC.
We can't fail this. And I know it won't even happen... just like before.
The night sky was aglow with the bright city lights. The raging sound of our motorcycles broke the silence of night.
"Watch out the road, Storm..." Giusteo said on the line. "You are driving so fast."
"You repeated it so many times. Shut the f**k up."
I shook my head and focused on driving, leading the race.
I tilted my head when I heard a distorted sound from the earpiece.
"Sobra kasi harurot mo. Ang layo mo na!"
"Karera 'to, malamang?"
"Pero nauuna ka na sobra. You can slow down now."
"It's a damn race. I can't f*****g slow down. Giusteo, for f**k's sake?" I asked irritatedly.
I silently cursed when I heard him laughing. I shook my head and focused myself.
"Ayan bumabagal ka na."
"Because you are distracting me, dumbass."
"It's an honor to be a distraction against the drag racing queen," he mocked.
"Tss."
Humarurot na ako lalo at 'di pinakinggang ang patuloy niyang pagsasalita.
I'm still leading the race and I can see now from behind the Tria.
Halos dikitan lang din ang pagitan nila Atasha at Leuxia.
As what I expected for the welcome to Tria. We won again for countless time.
Pero nanatili pa ring magulo ang isip ko nang matapos iyon. Dumagdag pa roon ang mga Caceres.
Humarurot ako pabalik sa Ventura's Garage dala na ang Ducati. The streetracing community lead by Yara is doubting me.
Iba lang pakiramdam ko. I narrowed my eyes as I observed them from the dark. May mga pulis pa rin at iilang tao.
"Storm..."
I immediately turned my back when I heard it. My eyes widened a bit in confusion.
"You came back here," Giusteo added.
"How did you know?"
"Sinundan kit- ibig kong sabihin-" he licked his lower lip. "Bumaba ako sa sasakyan ni Killian nung nakita kita."
My eyes narrowed at him. I shrugged.
"Bakit biglaan kang bumalik? Alam nila Leuxia?"
"Hindi," tipid na sagot ko.
I shifted on my stance when I remembered something. I turned to him.
"You are a hacker right?"
"Oo," he nodded proudly. "Bakit?"
I bit lower lip and looked back to the end of junkyard. Unti-unti nang umaalis ang mga tao roon.
"May ipapagawa ako."
His brows shot up.
"Bakit kita susundin?"
"Bakit mo 'ko tatanggihan?"
"Bakit nga ba kita tatanggihan?" he nodded and chuckled. "What is it, Storm?"
I smirked mischievously. I can feel something will happen soon. A bloody chaos.
My eyes sharpened on the particular direction.
Nilingon ko si Giusteo na naghihintay pa rin ng sagot. Nanatili ang mga mata ko sa kaniya at 'di namalayan ang pagtitig.
It seems like a habit, staring... Darn it.
The pale crescent moon shone like a silver claw in the night sky. We both looked up at the blanket of stars that stretched to infinity.
I should stop this while it's still vain.
Before I could even kill him too... because of a lie.
