The Legendary Dark Demon

Chapter 50

I felt contentment as a stare at the bastard's lifeless eyes.

'You got what you deserved idiot,  that's what you get when you mess with me' pipi kong usal na para bang naririnig nito ang sinasabi ko.

Mula sa likod ko ay naririnig ko ang mahinang palakpak.

"Well done, Haruka.  It's good to know you're not that pathetic after all. " sabi nito sabay sipa sa akin sa likod kaya natumba nanaman ako.

I used all my strength earlier, I didn't have the energy to move anymore kaya nanatili nalang akong natumba sa sahig.

"You know Haruka,  you would've--"

Di niya ito natuloy nang biglang tumikhim sa bandang gawi nang pintuan.

"What?" galit na napalingon si Tsushima dito.

Pinilit kong lumingon sa kanila at naningkit ang mata ko nang nakita ko si Kairo na hawak hawak si Ianna na nagpupumilit kumawala.

"I saw her wondering around. She took down two of our men." sabi ni Kairo.

I knew there was something different about that guy. He must be one of Tsushima's brand new pet.

"Where's my sister you bastard!" sigaw ni Ianna dito.

"Ah,  the other heiress of the Drache mafia,  how convenient of you to come here yourself."

"Brianna!  Where's Brianna?!" sabi nito habang nagpupumilit paring makawala sa pagkakahawak ni Kairo.

"Calm down girl. You'll see your sister soon. You'll have a nice reunion six feet underground. "

Mas lalong nagpumiglas si Ianna at nakawala nga siya sa pagkakahawak kay Kairo.Mabilis siya at may inilabas na siyang kutsilyo at sumugod papunta kay Tsushima pero bago pa man siya makalapit ay may biglang sumulpot na lalaki at napigilan siya.

When I looked at the guy,  nanlaki ang mata ko.

He restrained Ianna at ngayon ay siya na ang nakahawak sa kutsilyo nito ngayon.

"Should I kill her?" he said monotonously.

"No!" biglang sigaw ni Kairo na kumuha nang atensiyon nang lahat. Tumikhim siya. "I mean, we can't, not yet, nasa atin na ang dalawang Mafia heiress nang Drache mafia,  pag nalaman nila ito,  I'm sure they'll be begging with there knees.  Atsaka, look at her,  I'm sure may mapapakinabangan tayo diyan. " mahabang paliwanag ni Kairo. 

Napatango naman si Tsushima.

"Tie her up and put her with the others." sabi nito na agad namang sinunod ni Kairo.

But all of that doesn't seem to matter, nanatiling lang nakatuon ang atensiyon ko sa kaniya.

He seems different....

A ton of emotion is flowing into me right now, naguguluhan ako sa puntong mahirap nang huminga.

The man I called my father looked at me. Ngumisi siya at lumapit saakin.

He kneeled before me and held my face.

"D...dad" I forced the word out my throat.

Like a waterfall, my memories na pilit kong ititinatago sa pinakasulok nang isip ko ay kusang lumabas.

My dad and....mom. I thought, sa paglipas nang panahon my memories of them would become vague and blurry pero hindi, they were as clear as a crystal kaya mas lalong masakit. They're faces, smiles, especially mom.  As a child I have always been observant,  nahahalata kong they don't really get along much, when they thought I was asleep I hear their muffled voices na nagtataasan ng boses.

Napatingin ako sa harap ko ngayon, malayong malayo siya sa noon.  Dad was always gone, dahil sa trabaho. I remembered he was kinda strict, distant and palagi akong pinagagalitan but I thought most dads are just like that, despite of that,  I still loved him noong bata ako.

I remembered my mom,  she's the coolest mom ever. I remembered how she'd do my hair, how she would pick a dress for me, cook my favorite food every morning,  I remembered her sweet smiles.  I remembered it all,  even that night when I saw them on the lying on the floor bloody.  Malinaw na malinaw parin ito sa isip ko to the point that it hurts. It hurts pretty much.

Seeing him now had relived my nightmares,  so many questions unanswered.

"Umiiyak ka rin pala." pagkasabi niya ay dun ko na pala namalayang lumuluha na ako. I tasted the salty  tears in my lips.

Nabaling ang atensiyon ni Tsushima sa akin.

"Looks like you forgot our little lesson Haruka. " sabi nito at lumapit din sa akin.

Ipinikit ko ang mata ko para tigilan ang luha ko.

Ilang beses na akong nagmura sa isipan. I feel weak,  pathetically and helpless.  The last thing I  wanna feel.

"Looks like you'll see your sister sooner than expected my dear." sabi ni Tsushima kay Ianna.

"Get the five kids" sabi pa nito sa kalapit na tauhan niya.

Ilang minuto pa ay dumating na ang kaniyang mga tauhan dala ang lima.  Brianna and Katasha were crying like it's the end of the world.  Yung dalawa ay nagpupumiglas at may isang nahimatay. Pinasalampak sila sa pwesto nang apat.

Pinalibutan ni Tsushima sila.

"I'm gonna punish my little pet, and you're all going to sit there and watch. " sabi niya sa mga ito.
Hinila niya ako sa buhok at pinaupo sa isang upuan.

They tied me up the chair para di ako makawala. Wala na rin akong nagawa.  I'm physically and emotionally drained.

Inilatag nila sa lamesa ang isang set nang daggers.

"You see, I've always hated weak people." sabi nito habang sinusuri ang mga punyal.

This scene was all too familiar,  of course alam ko asan ito papunta.

Noong bata pa ako, when I was under the mafia, I was forced to kill, Tsushima has this rule that's 'kill or be killed'. Sa murang edad ay alam ko ma humawak at maghagis nang kutsilyo. I could even assemble and disassemble a gun with my eyes closed. Pero hindi iyon sapat sa kanya.

To show emotion is a sign of weakness, lalo na ang pag iyak.

Noon,  pag nakita niya akong umiiyak, I would get 5 lashes in the back and if he sees a hint of emotion on my face,  another 5 lashes will be added. Heck, I was even 7 that time. Hanggang ngayon ay may marka parin nang latigo ang likod ko pero they're barely visible now.

Lumapit siya sa akin dala ang isang punyal. Pinunasan niya ang luha ko. He pressed the blade across my cheek and I felt it pierce my skin.

I was quite thankful to that Fierro guy for slapping me too hard.  Namamanhid na ang pisngi ko kaya it lessened the pain.

I kept a blank face and held my head up straight. My eyes were focused on the man I called my father, although right now,  calling her my dad doesn't quite fit with me.

Naramdaman kong tumulo ang dugo mula sa pisngi ko.  Hindi ko parin inaalis ang tingin ko sa kanya.

I was looking for something in his eyes.  Something that will prove he cares for me because he's my dad after all. Pero nadismaya lang ako, he was just smirking at me. Nagdududa na ako kung sino ba siya.

Napansin ni Tsushima ang pagtingin ko sa kanya at napatawa siya.

"How rude of me to not introduce him to you." sabi nito sa akin. "Since you have no use to me at anymore ,  let's get all things straight then I'll kill afterwards when the pain gets too much for you to handle."

"He's Dante Melchor,  an Otokawa mafia member, my original  first in command, my right hand man and he is not your father. "
