Chapter 14 : Aiden the Tracker
2066 Words
Lucas's POV
Kakaalis lang ni Sabrina at Issay at tila ang lalim ng iniisip ni Levi ngayon. May problema ba siya?
"Do you like Issay Levi?" I asked him out of nowhere dahil basi sa mga kinikilos niya ay may gusto siya dito.
"Seriously? You're asking me about that?"
"Just answer my question. Yes or no?"
"Ofcourse not!! She's just my maid Lucas."
"Issay is a good person Levi, I treated her as a friend of mine already so I hope that you'll not hurt her."
"Can you just shut up? You're disturbing my mind. Look, I'm thinking about something serious here" He said at tumingin sa labas ng bintana.
Hindi na ako nagsalita pa. I know Levi, he's confused right now. I don't know what he's thinking about. Maybe Issay? His dad or Sabrina? 'sigh' I witnessed all he's sufferings back then.
He deserves to be happy. After the long run, he changed a lot. Until now he can't move on from his past. It's been seven years but the wound in his heart is still fresh. I opened the Television and Levi's advertisement about mens beauty soap showed up. I'm really proud for his Achievements but I know that he's not happy with it.
He's father can't even accept him as his son. Levi is Tita Arriana's son from her first love. Mr. Jackson Carter is not his real father. Tito Jackson loves Tita Arianna too much but he can't accept Levi as his son. That's how complicated his family is. He didn't feel the love of a father. I pity him for that. I wish that someday he could find his happiness. I was thinking everything about Levi until the so called Penpen of Issay appeared.
"Elijah Levi!! Where's Issay?" He asked with an angry voice.
I know this guy loves Issay, no doubt because it's obvious. He's actions speaks louder than words. This guy is one of the reason why Elijah suffered. I know everything about them. This Stephen Rosales is known as Blood. The leader of all gangsters in the campus back then.
"Issay is safe Blood. Don't worry, she'll arrive soon." Bumaling ang attensiyon niya sakin dahil nagsalita ako.
"Lucas, the famous cassanova in the campus. Nice to meet you again." He said and sit in the sofa beside me.
"You're not welcome here Rosales." Levi said in a cold voice while still looking at the window.
"You hate me that much huh? Well, the feeling is mutual nerd."
"Don't be stupid Rosales, I'm not a nerd anymore."
"A f**k boy then." Rosales said and crossed his arms and closed his eyes while resting his back in the soft fabric of the sofa.
"You didn't change, still an Asshole." Levi said calmly.
After he said that, silence consume the room. Only the sound of the television can be heard. Minutes passed by and finally Issay and Sabrina arrived. When blood saw her, he then called her name and hugged her but pain in her expression showed up.
"T-teka lang Penpen." She said and move backward. Blood knew that something is wrong with her kung kaya't na ngunot ang nuo nito.
"Okay lang ako Penpen." She said again ngunit hinila ni Rosales ang mga braso niya kung kaya't pati ako na nagtaka kung bakit tila nasaktan ito. Hindi naman masyadong malakas ang pagkahila sa kanya but it seems like she's in pain.
"Take off that long sleeves Issay."
"What the heck are you doing Rosales?" Reklamo ni Levi ngunit hindi siya pinansin nito at naka'y Issay lang ang attention.
"Naku hehe, huwag na Penpen."
" Take it off Issay, don't lie to me. I know you're not okay."
Yeah, he's right. It's obvious that she's just pretending to be okay. Did something bad happen? I became worried that time dahil itinuring ko na rin na parang kapatid si Issay. After Rosales ordered her to take off that sleeveless she's wearing, I was shocked to what I saw. Namumula ang mga braso niya at tila may mga kalmot ito. Sino kaya ang gumawa nito? Nagalit ako sa isipan ko dahil sa nangyari kay Issay.
She's innocent and a kind hearted girl. I can't bear seeing a girl like that. I saw the anger in Blood's eyes. When Elijah saw it too, he's mood changes. It seems like he's pissed off to what happen.
"Who did this to you?" Blood asked.
"Is it Sabrina again?!" Levi asked with anger in his voice too.
Hindi ko namalayang bumangon pala siya para lapitan si Issay.
"My fans did that." Maarteng sagot ni Sabrina which pissed me too. I know he loves Levi, but how can she let her fans hurt Issay like that.
They will listen kung umawat siya. Mabait si Sabrina but simula ng dumating si Issay sa buhay ni Levi. It seems like she's afraid that someone might steal Levi from him. Issay was shocked ng hinawakan ng mahigpit ni Rosales ang braso ni Sabrina.
"Ouch you're hurting me." Maarteng reklamo nito.
" Who did this? Tell me!!" He's angry voice echoed in the room.
Issay was about to stop Blood pero pinigilan siya ni Levi. Puwersahang hinila ni Issay ang kamay niya mula dito at napadaing ng kaunti si Elijah sa impact sa sugat nito. Nakita ko ang pag aalala sa mukha ni Issay dahil sa nangyare kung kaya't inalalayan niya muna pabalik sa bed si Levi.
"Elijah help me!!." Mangiyak ngiyak na sabi ni Sabrina ngunit hindi ito pinansin ni Levi. Hindi na ako sumali sa nangyayari at nagmanman lang ako sa mga kilos nila.
" Tell me!! Or else I'll break your arms."
"Penpen tama na!! Wala siyang kasalanan." Awat ni Issay ngunit hindi siya pinansin nito kung kaya't mas nilakasan pa nito ang boses.
" Penpen!! Tama na iyan!!" She said ngunit winaksi lang nito ang kamay niya at napa daing siya ng matamaan ang gas gas niya kung kaya't natauhan ito.
Si Elijah naman ay tila ang lalim pa din ng iniisip at naka tulala lang sa bintana.
" I'm sorry."
Pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon ay hinila niya na si Issay paalis sa kuwarto at doon lang natuhan si Levi.
"Stop!! Don't go with him Issay!!." Babangon na sana siya but I stopped him.
" Issay needs Rosales right now Levi. Just let her go with him. Kahit ngayon lang, I'm sure that he'll take care of her." Saad ko na nagpatahimik sa kanya.
Hours had passed pero parang hindi mapakali si Levi. What's wrong with this guy? Sabi ko sa isip ko at umiling na lang. Kumuha ako apple at kumain habang nagnunuod pa rin ng TV. Until he spoke.
" Let's get out in this f**k!n hospital Lucas. I need to do something." Bumangon na ito sa bed at hindi ko na siya napigilan pa.
"You're not yet healed Levi. So just behave here." Ngumisi ako ng nakakaloko sa kanya. Kumagat ako ulit sa apple at muntik na ako mabulunan dahil sa sinabi niya.
" I'll find Issay now. You can't stop me Lucas." Sabi nito habang nagsusuot ng polo niya.
" Wow, kung si Issay ang pipigil sayo sumusunod ka. Tapos kung ako deadma?" Pag aasar ko sa kanya kung kaya't binato niya ako ng unan.
" Shut up Jerk."
" 'I chuckled' Oh common, you're starting to like her don't you?"
" That won't happen. I can't lose anymore." Sambit nito so I raised my left eye brow.
"Really? "
"Yeah."
Hindi ko namalayang tapos na siyang magbihis at tinutupi niya na lang ang manggas ng polo shirt niya.
"Let's go." Sabi nito
______
He paid the bill and then signed the paper na wala ng papanagutan ang hospital kapag may nangyaring masama sa kanya. When we arrived at the hotel ay agad nitong tinawagan si Issay. He was irritated dahil matagal pa bago nito sinagot ang phone.
" It seems like you're happy huh." He said sarcastically and I know that he's referring to Issay.
He's acting like a jealous boyfriend. Pffftttt... ngayon ko lang ulit siya nakitang ganito. I smell something fishy... Hmmmm..
"Go back here Issay. I want to know if your arms are okay." He said worriedly. Oh Sh!t men, it's getting obvious.
He's laying on the bed while looking at the ceiling. Kanina pa siya ganyan. Ang lalim ng iniisip at sa tingin ko kapag napasok ko ang isip nito ay malulunod ako. Pffttt... Natawa ako sa ideyang sumagi sa isip ko.
"Come back here Issay. I need you." After he said that the call ended.
I need you. Hmm, he's too possessive huh. Itinapon niya ang phone sa gilid ng kama at bumuntong hininga.
"Why are you looking at me like that Lucas?" Tanong nito sakin dahil napansin niya yatang kanina ko pa pinagmamasdan ang mga kinikilos niya.
" Well, you're being childish Levi." I Chuckled at nag salubong ang dalawa niyang kilay sa sinabi ko.
" I'm not Lucas. As my personal maid, I need her to serve me. That's her purpose." Sabi nito at bumangon sa kama. Kumuha siya ng yosi at sinindihan ito.
"You're being defensive." Humiga naman ako sa sofa. I noticed that he's staring at the cigarette and after that a smile formed in his lips. This guy is getting weird.
"Why are you smiling at the cigarette?" I asked curiously. Bumuga muna siya ng usok bago nagsalita.
"Do you know the story of Adulfo about the cigarette." He asked while smiling. He's having a mood swings. This guy really sucks.
"Of course I don't know. Who's that Adulfo you're talking about?"
"That story is only for me." Saad nito at chineck ulit ang cellphone niya.
Hours had passed but hindi pa din dumadating si Issay. He was looking at the door for the whole time. After a minute he called her again.
" Issay!! Where are you? I waited for too long." Reklamo nito.
Pagkamaya maya'y naging malamig ang boses nito. I knew it, he's voice changed when he's talking to Blood. So it means that the one he's talking with is Blood. Ang talino mo talaga Lucas at siyempre guwapo pa. Huwag na kayong kumuntra, nagiging totoo lang ako sa sarili ko. Remember , honestly is the best policy.
"I'm not talking to you Asshole !! Where is she? Give her the phone." He said in a bossy tone.
Sa sobrang inis niya ay tinapon niya ang phone sa pader kung kayat nabasag ito. Tsk, a short tempered guy.
"That jerk is consuming my patience." Saad nito sa malamig na boses.
"You should rest first. Issay will comeback soon." Pangungumbinsi ko sa kanya.
" How can I rest if Issay is with that jerk?"
"You're acting jealous Levi."
"I'm not Lucas." Depensa nito kung kaya't umiling na lang ako.
"Whatever."
" I'll find her. Call Aiden now. I need his help."
"Seriously? You'll call that jerk just for this?"
"Just do it now Lucas." Wika nito kung kaya't ginawa ko na lang.
Aiden is a secret agent and he's one of the trackers of the Rouge Agency. He's good at tracking locations and investigations. He's one of our childhood friends. We only asked for his help in serious matters because he's a busy bee. Elijah is really getting weird.
'Phone ringing on the other line' After a few seconds Aiden answered the call.
"Hello Lucas boy. How have you been?" Malokong tanong nito sa kabilang linya.
" Elijah have something to tell you." I said at hinagis ang phone kay Levi at agad niya ding sinalo ito. Dahil naka loud speak ang phone ay naririnig ko ang usapan nila.
"Nerdy boy, you missed me?" Bumuntong hininga na lang ako dahil kay Aiden. He used to call us like Lucas boy and nerdy boy.
"I need your help Aiden. I want you to track something." Rinig ko ang pagtawa ni Aiden sa kabilang linya.
"Is that a serious matter nerdy boy?"
"Stop calling me nerdy Boy if you don't want me to kick your ass there."
"I'll help you in one condition."
"Spill it ."
"You'll help me in my upcoming mission next week."
" I will, just do what I want you to do Aiden."
" Tss, fine. Just send me the info that I needed." After that the call ended.
Napa iling na lang ako dahil sa ginagawa ni Levi. An agent's mission is dangerous. It can lead you to death. Tsk, he agreed to Aiden just to track where Issay is.
