Lucious
"K-Kuya.." He can't almost voice out his words.
When he passed out, dinala ko agad sya sa isang bakanteng kwarto sa tabi ng OR. I asked Zach to guard the door while I'm cleaning his wound. May tama sya sa kaliwang braso.
"Stay still." I groaned and pushed him on the bed.
"S-Si Tomi.." Paos nyang sabi at nagpumilit pa rin.
"Clara's doing her job. Consider his life saved." I told him and wrapped his arms with bandaged.
"B-But.." Aalma pa sana sya ng samaan ko ng tingin.
"If you don't want me to kill that kid, don't let yourself get killed because of him. I'm not nice and you know that." Malamig kong sabi at tinapos ang ginagawa.
"I'm warning you, you don't want to see me mad, Lustine Knight." I warned before leaving him inside.
"Guard him. Stab him with a sedative if he tried going to his lover. I'm just going to do something." Utos ko kay Zach at iniwan sya don.
Sumakay ako ng elevator para bumalik sa kwarto ni Vince. May iuutos ako kay Kenn at sya lang ang pwede kong asahan na gawin yun. Papunta na rin ang tatlo para tingnan ang kalagayan ni Lustine. Malamang at tinawagan rin ang mga yun.
"Boss, kamusta po sya?" Salubong ni Kenn sakin.
"Hindi sya yun." Sagot ko at sumulip sa loob.
Nagtaka naman ito. "Po?"
"Kaibigan nya yata. But Clara's on it, mabubuhay yun." Paliwanag ko.
"Akala ko po si Boss Lustine na talaga." Para syang nakahinga ng maluwag.
"Anong ginagawa nong dalawa?" Tanong ko.
"Ah, naglalambing lang po si Vince sa Kuya nya." Nakangiti nyang sagot.
Tumango ako at sinabi na sa kanya ang balak kong iutos. Naintindihan nya naman ito agad at nagpaalam na aalis na. I told him to ask for Kevin's help too, Lucian's reaper. I trust him but this job is kinda dangerous. It is very risky.
"Kuya Lucy!" Masiglang kumaway si Vince ng pumasok ako sa loob.
I saw Shin averted his eyes when I looked at him. I can't smirk like I used too. Naalala ko ang kalagayan ng kaibigan ni Lustine sa baba, and thinking that it may also happened to the both them, it's slowly killing me, papatayin ako ng konsensya ko.
But of course, I won't let that happen.
"Hey, having brother moment?" I sat on his bed.
"Yes po! Gusto mo po magjoin po?" Bibo nitong tanong.
I smirked. "Pwede ba?"
Tumango sya. "Oo naman po! Dito ka po!"
He tapped the empty spot, gesturing me to lay with them. I don't know why, but I glanced at Shin, like asking for his permission. But he wasn't looking at me, he's obviously avoiding making eye contacts with me. I find him adorable doing that.
Is he finally noticing me? Is this a progress?
Papahiga pa lang sana ako ng tumunog ang cellphone. Napasinghal na lang ako at hinugot ang cellphone ko. My face changed when I saw who's calling. Nilingon ko si Vince na curious na nakatingin sakin, nakatabingi pa ang ulo.
I forced a smile. "Sasagutin ko lang ha?"
"Sige po! Balik ka po ah?" Nakangiti nyang sabi.
Ginulo ko ang buhok nya at bumaba ng kama. I glanced at Shin once again but he's still avoiding my eyes. I sighed and left the room.
