Splintered Hearts 1: Quinten Coen [COMPLETED]

Chapter 46

It's been almost five months since Yesh left Quint. And Quint can't take it anymore. Daemon really did do everything to hide Yesh. Tuwing akala niya ay makakakuha na siya ng information about where she is, mali pala ang nakukuha nilang information.

At first, Riley wanted him to just listen to Daemon, pero tinulungan din naman siya ng kaibigan niya. Ayaw ni Riley na magkaaway-away silang magkakaibigan, and Quint was ready to ruin that friendship.

But Daemon is a smart man. Kilalang kilala siya ng kaibigan kaya alam nito kung halos papaano siya mag-isip. Kahit anong gawin niya, hindi siya makalusot sa kaibigan niya.

Which led him here in Australia. Wala siyang ibang choice kung hindi ang kausapin si Daemon para malaman niya kung nasaan si Yesh.

He's going crazy. He wants to see her. He wants to earn her forgivesness. Gusto niyang bumawi kay Yesh. Gusto niyang makasama ulit ito.

When Quint arrived in front of Daemon's office, para siyang mamamatay sa sobrang kaba.

What if Daemon's not satisfied with how he is right now?

What if nagbago ang isip ng kaibigan niya at mas gusto na nitong hindi niya makita si Yesh?

He's scared. For the first time, he felt scared. Natatakot siya sa magiging desisyon ng kaibigan niya.

"Oh, you're here." Daemon said when he entered his office.

Pakiramdam ni Quint ay pinagpapawisan siya ng malalig habang nakatingin sa kaniya ang kaibigan niya na para bang sinusuri siya nito. Daig pa nito ang tatay na iinterviewhin siya dahil hinihingi niya ang kamay ng anak nito.

"Dude, come on. Tell me kung nasaan si Yesh. Please." He said and Daemon raised an eyebrow at him.

"Why should I?" Tanong nito sa kaniya kaya naman napalunok siya.

"Because I'm going crazy." Quint said.

"Kaunting-kaunti na lang at mababaliw na ako. I can't do this anymore. I honestly don't want to come here and beg para malaman kung nasaan si Yesh, pero hindi ko na kaya. I can give you anything. My money? You can take it. My assets? I'll willingly give it to you. I don't care kung anong gusto mong makuha kapalit ng impormasyon kung nasaan si Yesh ngayon." Sagot niya sa tanong ng kaibigan na nagkibit balikat sa kaniya.

"Pero hindi ko kailangan ang pera at ari-arian mo." Bored na sambit naman nito kaya hindi nakaimik si Quint.

Hindi na niya alam kung ano ba ang dapat niyang sabihin para lang tulungan siya ni Daemon.

"Then, how did you hide her from me? I'm confident in my ability to gather information. Pero paano? How did you do it?" He asked and Daemon smiled.

"Because I'm your friend. Alam ko kung anong tumatakbo diyan sa isip mo lalong-lalo na kapag nagagalit ka. Because whenever you're mad, you become a narrow minded person. You're very easy to predict when you're mad Schmidt. Pero kung kalmado ka noong hinahanap mo si Yesh, malamang nahanap mo na siya ngayon." Nakangiting sambit nito sa kaniya kaya naman napakurap-kurap siya.

"Stanley helped me in hacking the airport's cctvs. Stane and Harry helped me in making sure that Yesh would be able to leave without a problem. Louis also helped me in certain ways. And while you were looking for information about Yesh in the black market, Dwaine helped me in fabricating the information. Harry, Stane and Pierre helped me in making sure that Yesh would be unharmed and her location would remain a secret. Royal families have trained shadows Quint, you should be aware of that since you're a nobleman."

"But if you used your head instead of being the impatient man that you are, you would realize what I was doing." Mahabang sambit sa kaniya ng kaibigan niya at tumayo ito sa kinauupuan nito.
