STUNNED

Chapter TWENTY-EIGHT

"Gorgeous." Anton praise me when he saw my dress, pero kabaliktaran ng nararamdaman niya dahil naiinis ako. I look different now and I don't like it. My hair are now straight and diyed with ash gray and black mixture which kinda suit me but still I prefer my natural wavy brown hair. My clivege are too expose and even my skin. Sino ba ang bobong gumawa ng damit na ito? Ang daming issue about rape pero nagawa parin ng mga ganitong klaseng damit. It's a black glittering long gown, long sleeve pero may OA na v shape neckline dahilan para kulang nalang ay lumuwa na ang dibdib ko. Nag mistulang backless narin ang likod dahil string lang naman ang nanduon. Hindi lang iyun may mahabang slit pa ito sa kanang parte ng hita ko at walang ibang paraan para hindi ito lumabas tuwing maglalakad ako. Idagdag pa ang mataas na heels ko ngayun na nakakairita na ang dinudulot na sakit sa aking paa.

"I don't like it." Ngumiwi ito.

"And why? You look stunning Liv, my girlfriend is such a good stylish." Inirapan ko siyang muli.

"Girlfriend my ass." Tumaas ang kilay niya.

"Hindi ka naniniwala?"

"Hindi." Pinal na sagut ko kahit pa medyo nagtataka nga ako kung kanino niya nakuha ang gown na ito.

"You'll see."

"Whatever." Sabi ko nalang at sinubukan muling maglakad ng hindi natatapilok.

"Wow Liv, you look great!" Waxton exclaimed. Kasunod nito si Julius at Hunter na kapwa nakatingin din sa akin.

"Well I don't feel the same."

"Nervous?" Hunter ask na nakasuot narin ng putting suit.

"I'm not! but I hate this dress, I feel naked." I almost yelled to them but instead, they laugh.

"You look beautiful Liv, don't worry." Hunter added, I sighed defeated.

"Weapon." Lumapit sa akin si Julius at ipinakita ang dalawang maliit na kutsilyo saka lumuhod sa harap ko at siya pa mismo ang naglagay nuon sa aking sapatos na suot. Hindi naman iyun kapansin-pansin dahil black glittery boots naman ito.

"Thanks." Tumango siya at bumaling naman kay Hunter.

Hunter is wearing a white Americana suit and a long sleeve gray polo tucked on the inside with a black tie. His new cutted hair was brushed up and I notice the changes of his hair color. It was a natural black before but now it's chestnut brown. He look pretty manly and masculine I admit. Hindi na ako magtataka sa mga babaeng baliw na baliw sa lalaking ito.

"You can use knife?" Julius asked.

"Yeah ofcourse." Hunter answered. Lumapit sa kaniya si Julius at siya na mismo ang naglagay ng kutsiltyo sa tagiliran nito. Hindi naman iyun halata dahil maliit lang din naman iyun na naïf-fold pa.

"We needs real weapon Julius." I said.

"Uh that's not gonna happen?" Wanton was the one who answered.

"What if something cames up? We need guns Julius." I exclaim.

"That's why me and Waxton will cover you."

"But-"

"No buts!" hinilot nito ang kaniyang ulo saka huminga ng malalim.

"This mission is to finish the Thana and to clear our name. Fucos with the plan Liv and protect your goddamn life no matter what. This mission is not to prove that we are criminals but somehow a hero, you got what I meant right?" i gave him a sharp look.

"What about them?" tinitigan ko ang isang silid na lulan ng dalawang tao.

"Isn't that kidnapping?" taas kilay kong sabi.
