The Protector

Chapter 35 - Revelations

BEA

"You?!" I said.

My eyes opened wide when I saw her face.

"Surprised?!" she asked as she walked towards me.

"Of course not!" I replied.

Natigilan siya sa sinabi ko.

"Why am I not surprised? Maybe because the first time I saw you, I knew that you were up to no good! I was right all along!" nang-uuyam na sabi ko.

Isang malakas na suntok ang dumapo sa pisngi ko. Laglag ako sa upuan.

Tumawa ng malakas si Ali.

Pumutok ang labi ko dahil nalasahan ko ang alat ng dugo na umagos. Hinila ako ng isang lalaki para umupo uli.

"Masyadong matabil ang dila mo! Yes, it's me. The one and only girl of the governor but because of you, he left me!" mabilis na sagot niya sabay lapit uli sa akın.

"Only girl? Nagpapatawa ka ba? Ali, in your dreams! The governor has a lot of side chicks, you won't be able to count it by your two hands!" I answered.

Isang malakas na sampal galing kay Ali ang tumama sa mukha ko. Napabiling ang pisngi ko sa kanan. Napangiwi ako sa sakit.

Putang ina!

Kung hindi lang ako nakagapos, kanina pa tumba ang babaeng ito sa akın. Akala niya uubra siya sa akin. I tried to stand up but her men were quick to hold me down by the shoulder.

Nasa magkabilang side ko ang dalawang alalay niya kaya hindi na ako nag attempt uli. They are ready to pounce on me in case I will do something drastic. Tumahimik na lang muna. Itinuloy ko ang unti-unting pagkalas sa tali nila sa kamay ko.

"Me and the governor were okay until you came. Kasalanan mo lahat kung bakit kami nagkahiwalay." she said.

At bakit naging kasalanan ko pa, huh?! Kaya ba ako nandito, para maghiganti dahil iniwan na siya ni Gob? This woman is evil, mukhang nabaliw na.

"You're full of yourself Ali when in fact you're just a home-wrecker! In short, kabet ka lang! Do you really think that you got a chance with the governor? He might be in your bed but you won't be able to own him. Men like him are not satisfied with just one partner. Poor Ali." I shouted.

I need to keep arguing with her by shouting, baka sakaling may makarinig sa amin sa labas. I have to do all the possible ways just to escape from them and get out of here.

"Same with you Isabel Beatriz De Leon! Akala mo kung sino ka magsalita eh isa ka rin namang kabet!" she retaliated.

Umangat ang ulo ko sa narinig. She knows my full name, how come? She knows about me and Jema? Napatiim bagang ako at hindi ito nakaligtas sa kanya.

"Nagulat ka ano? Kilala na kita, the one and only Isabel Beatriz De Leon, yung talunan at laos na kickboxer." she said while laughing.

Nagbulungan naman ang dalawang tauhan niya at parang ilag na tumingin sa akin. Yung isa ay mas humigpit ang hawak sa baril.

"I don't give a fuck if you knew me, Ali! Wala naman akong itinatagong baho. Unlike some people who are here. Me and Jema? I don't know what you're talking about. Bakit mo ibinibintang sa iba ang gawain mo?" I sarcastically answered.

"Oh don't deny it. I have evidences! Who would have guessed na ang isang mahinhing asawa ng gobernador ay mahilig pala sa kabet. Kumabit na nga lang, sa kapwa niya pa babae din! Yucky. How pathetic!" she screamed.

Shit! She knows it!

I thought of Jema. Is this the reason why she suddenly broke up with me? Baka alam na din ni Anton ang tungkol sa amin kaya bigla na lang siya kumalas. It must be. Jema is in trouble pag ganun. I really need to get out of here but how? Mukhang masama ang balak ang babaeng ito sa akın at kay Jema.
