My motor went through smoke when I turned the brakes. After a two -hour drive, I arrived at my destination, the cemetery where my mother and my sister are buried.
There are a lot of trees in this area so I can save my skin from the scorching sun. Add to that, the silence that brought pleasure to my feeling.
I turned off the engine. I removed my helmet and placed it in front of me. I sat for a while and inhaled the nice breeze.
When I was satisfied with what I was doing, I immediately stood up. Treading my foot on the grass is what I look around. As I expected, no one but me. It's very quiet. You can only hear the noise of dry leaves flying on the floor.
I picked up the shades that hung on my shirt. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon so the sunlight was still in the sky trying to escape from the towering trees. I put the shades on my eyes and started walking.
Even before I could get close to my mother's grave, astonishment flashed across my face. When I got closer I immediately raised one knee to the ground. I picked up the boquet of roses next to a candle. I looked next to my mama's grave and like this, it also has flowers.
I immediately looked around me. The candle is only half full and it looks like the person who lit it has not gone far.
But it was surprising because no one was there when I came here.
I rummaged in my pocket. I picked up my cellphone and immediately called Cyirl.
"Bitch! I said five o'clock! It's not obvious that you miss me, is it?" he said.
"Shut up!"
I breathed heavily. I looked again at the roses I was holding. "Can you ask Nicko if he visited the grave of mama?" I said without taking my eyes off the roses.
He shouted again. "Stupid! Nicko is in Batanes! How is he going to get here?" his answer makes my forehead frowned.
Who will put it here?
Couldn't Dad? I immediately asked in my mind.
But impossible.
If only Dad had been here in this place, Uncle should have seen him a long time ago. We should have been with him for a long time.
I looked again at the rose I was holding. Surprisingly, because of the many kind of flowers, the one that Mama and Ate put on was actually their favorite, rose.
“You know, I’ll will report you to mom later when I pray,” she said bringing me back to reality. "You're hallucinating," he added before turning off the call.
I just gasped.
Maybe if I had told him right away what I saw today he might have been in a hurry to come here. But I don't want to, I know my brother is busy. Even if he doesn’t say it I know he does a lot. Since dad disappeared, mom and ate died, I know he has focused his full attention on work. So even though my brother's behavior changed, I just understood. He is the youngest. He is my mom's favorite, after all. So I knew he was the most hurt of us all.
I put the cellphone back in my pocket. I looked at the flower again. I was reminded again of the happy memories Mama and I had. Tears are already forming in my eyes. I grabbed mama’s tombstone and followed the engravings on it.
Ma. Keziah Peralta.
Very good name that the Perezs just broke. I bit my lips when I remembered Mama's prone body. They have no mercy. They are not satisfied with a gun. They rained down on Mama from her chest to her head.
I looked up when a tear fell into my eye. I pulled out the necklace that was always hidden in my wallet. I took care of it because it was the first gift Mom gave me.
"Coming soon, ma," I said while still looking up. "I'm about to get revenge on you and ate."
I stood up and looked again at their tombstone. When I was satisfied I immediately turned away.
I was getting back on my motor when I heard a loud gunshot. I don't know where it came from but I can feel the pain in my arm. I looked at that and there I saw the tear of my shirt and the flow of some blood.
I immediately bavk my senses. I quickly grabbed the gun from behind me. I looked around and when I saw a shadow of a person in a nearby tree I immediately fired it. He immediately ran and got on his motorbike.
I hurried to the place where my black motorbike was parked. I quickly started the engine and started it right away.
I was in front of the cars. I followed it as best I could. It kept turning in cars until I couldn't see it at all.
Gosh!
I couldn't catch up with him as my head heated up. Instead of going straight to the corporation I went to the clinic held by Uncle. I cleaned the wound and left immediately.
I looked at my watch. I was just right at the time of our meeting. As I entered the building, Cyril's familiar back immediately appeared on me.
"Gosh! Really? I've never been to such a place before!" it yields in the nomenclature. He held the cellphone and pressed it to his ear.
"Send it to my email! So I can see!" he added.
I tapped his shoulder which surprised him. He quickly turned off the call and hesitantly looked me in the eye.
"When have you been talking to others?" I asked before sitting down. "You know that's forbidden, Cyril. When did you learn to break corporate law?" I question again.
"I-it's nothing!" he said, obviously lying. "I-It was just my classmate in elementary," he added and looked at my arm. "What happened there?" he asked with a frown.
I did not answer it.
I headed over to my unit as he went to headquarters to pick up the ones I picked earlier. When I climbed into the unit I immediately took care of it.
A few more minutes counted before I heard a knock from the door. When I opened it, I saw Cyril, carrying a black suitcase. He immediately glared at me. He sat on the bed and I pushed him.
He pulled out of his pocket the oversized black pouch. He laid it on the bed and opened it. In frint of me is a laptop, a cellphone and two earpieces.
"Bitch, you can use that when you're there," he said as I nodded. "Only the two of us can talk using that earpiece. The earpiece is already connected so you have to be careful."
I only answered with a nod.
"The car you're going to use is already downstairs. It's also connected to my laptop so I can make sure you can get there safely," he said as he handed me a key.
He held my hand tightly. "Bitch, be careful. Just act like an innocent, ok?"
I couldn’t help but smile. My brother still hasn't really changed completely. His heart is still very soft. Any covering up of mischief in his persona still can’t hide the memorable Cyril I know.
I carried the suitcase and the black bag. I got off and he drove me to the parking lot of this building.
"Bitch, promise you'll be back," she said as she opened her hand for a hug.
"I'll be back, all you have to do is guide me." I patted his back. "Be careful, Cy."
He bit his lips. I can already feel the trembling of his shoulder. "Bitch, I can handle myself. You take care because I can't handle it when you're gone."
My eyebrows were almost raised when we reached the place where I would be staying for the mission. I thought I would live in a tall building but I didn't seem to read what was written in the folder because of the excitement.I saw small houses. They are made of cement and come in different colors. It's not small and there seems to be something to be proud of.There is also a store in the middle and there are two chairs placed there where people are sitting. Opposite was a park. And on the other side, there is a gate. You can see from here the towering houses.Ryan shook his head as he also looked outside. "Looks like you haven't read your mission well," he said.I shook my head too. "I'm sorry, Ryan. My hand is really itchy," After I said that I immediately picked up the folder in the back.I was almost depressed because of what I read.I have to pretend to be a normal citizen. So, I need to associate with them so I can accomplish the missio
"Bitch, aren't you going to school tomorrow as a teacher?" Cyril greeted me when I answered the phone.Five days have passed. Tomorrow I will go to the school where the son of a demon is studying. It's not obvious at my age. I am 24 and almost three years ago when I finished my college."Yes," was my only answer.I arranged my meal. I pinned the cellphone to my shoulder and to my ear."Lucio, why didn't you call yesterday? Why didn't you updated me?"I heard on the other line the silence. "Hey, I'm asking you.""W-we have a meeting," he stammered.I raised an eyebrow. "Meeting your face!" I sighed."J-just, you have a lot of questions, just focus on your mission!""Will you tell me or I won't answer your calls?" I threatened him."Gosh," it's resentment.I couldn’t help but smile. "I'm waiting, Lucio. 3 minutes."He was out of breath. "I-I went somewhere," he replied. I could feel the nervousne
It only took a few seconds before someone got out of the same car.A woman in a red dress but lacking fabric. Her body is slim but her chest is really proud. Oh, yeah. Now I know why the demon Jacob stayed with him.Her height is also just right for a woman. He was up to Jacob's shoulder but because of the hees she was wearing she almost reached the devil's ear.I can’t deny that she's beautiful. But with the make-up on her face, she almost looks like a clown.I was worried with her look. God. She don't even know how to blend eye-shadow?"Bitch, just calm down," Cyril said calmly.I let out a deep breath. "Is there anything I can do?"Isn't this woman watching make-up tutorial? I asked in my mind.I eventually parked the e-bike on the side where there were parked motors.The sun was slowly rising. And little by little, more and more cars are coming.I heard Cyril's laughter suppress. "This school is so beaut
"Good morning," I greeted the children.They stood up together but one of them remained seated. They all greeted but his mouth remained shut.Three days ago and in those three days he was always like this. Jacob's son is always quiet."Okay, kids!" My lively introduction. Because of that they were all staring at me. "Get your coloring book and coloring materials!"They made noise again. They decorated coloring books. Socializing perhaps."Teacher Mel! I have many many colors!" Itzy's mouth opened again.I smiled again, "Good! Lend your classmates when they borrow!" Then lend me your daddy too.Somehow my headache subsides when I talk to Itzy.I looked to the far end of the room. My two eyes saw a child who to this day was still staring into the window.I really wonder how it became Jacob's son. It looks like an angel. Far away from his demon father."Hey," I whispered.But it looks like he didn't hear my vo
"Bitch, according to the memo, you need to get some files as soon as possible," Cyril opened up to me using the earpiece I was wearing in my ear. "Because of Jacob's company, some of the companies that our uncle holds are already losing money," he added.But I look like a robot walking into the house. I do not know what to do. I was so confused.I still can't get over what happened earlier. The concern on Jacob's face when he saw his son.I can't quite figure out why he should be sad about what he did.I am disgusted with myself. It's not me.I am not weak.I never felt sorry."Jose! Maybe you want to talk? You, monster!" Nicko shouted on the other line.It looks like the two of them are together. And it looks like the moron tandem will fight with me again."I'm not in the mood to wrestle," I replied before removing the earpiece from my ear.It was really good that Jacob and Kyro left immediately. That demon didn'
"You eat a lot, ah." His nod made me smile.We are now in a restaurant near the house we went to. Fortunately, Kyro is good at eating.Ryan picked up his cellphone and motioned me that he will go to comfort room which I nodded."Wow, you and your father are cute," the saleswoman said to us. She landed the extra rice I ordered. "You're cute with your pajamas, hahahah," she added with a laugh.Kyro looked up. He smiled and I couldn't help but rejoice."Ma'am. We're not but thank you," I replied.Kyro's smile was gone. So I immediately looked at the saleswoman. "Just a joke, we're really a father and son tandem."I tap the shoulder of Kyro. "Are you still eating?" I asked.He nodded and pointed the glass on my side.I handed it to him. "Good, let's just rest for a while before we go home, ah."I could feel Ryan sitting next to me. "Come on, Attorney found out again that I ran away.""Kyro, is it ok for us to g
"Looks like you really enjoying your mission today, ah?" Cyril opened up to me after I put on the earpiece.I just got home and Ryan just left a minute a go. It's eleven o'clock tonight so my eyelids are very heavy. We didn't go home right away because of Kyro. The boy was crying when I tried to leave."And he's really trying to invite you to their house?" He added.It is shocking to think that the demon Jacob will invite me into their house. I couldn’t help but be surprised. He was in too much of a hurry. Fortunately, I told him that my house was just across the street. When I said that, Kyro calmed down."How did you know, aber?" I asked completely confused."Bitch, you might have forgotten my name. . .Cyril." I heard his laughter on the other line. "I could do everything I wanted to do.""'Don't bother me anymore, Lucio. I might really slap you when I come back." I closed the door and went upstairs.I went straight to bed. I
I can almost pull myself together because of the annoyance. My heart could not stop beating fast because of the nervousness.That nasty demon. He actually entered my house and worst! In my room!Wait?My room?My eyes widened immediately.The earpiece!I immediately searched for the earpiece and the gun I used last night.God, Marco! What if he saw? It will be a huge problem for you!I searched everything in the room. From my messy bed to cabinets that are full of clothes.I tweaked myself again.Gosh! Where is that!I keep searching. I don’t care if they’re still waiting at the living room. It was my last day at that school though. It's only seven o'clock and my mission is more important than that demon.I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the gun under my laundry."Teacher! Faster!" I was immediately upset when I heard the demon's shout.I rolled my eyes. "Faster your h
