Kabanata 4: Bang
I started the engine of Seiji's ducatti that I borrowed earlier and drive swiftly to Night nerve. I want to take a break. Crying and cutting myself makes me realize that it's pathetic. That I am pathetic.
I just wanted to forget everything and be someone for a night.
As I entered, they cheered me.
I parked Seiji's ducatti.
The emcee announced that someone Perseus will be my rival. I looked at him. I can sense fear in him but for pete's sake. I am no one!
I heard someone whistled. Tsk, arsehole.
Before I jump out of Seiji's bigbike. I removed my pink helmet and shook my head. I wore mask to hide my identity. I walked towards him without breaking the eye contact.
"Hey." I whispered in his ear.
"H-hey there," he stuttered, huh?
"You ready to lose, handsome?" I said with boast.
"Take off your mask first," he said with command, eh? So confident.
"Win first," lumayo ako at nagwink bago umalis patungo sa motor ni Seiji.
That's a rule. Win first before you took my mask.
Maya-maya ay nagready na kami. We're on our own position sa starting line while the audience are so loud cheering us. Just 10 lapses then I can go home and sleep.
He looked at me na parang nagbabanta.. okay?
I think he'll not going to kill me, aren't him?
Sinuot ko ang aking helmet. I twist the ignition and the engine roared to life. So as he.
Naglakad ang babaeng may hawak na flag. Itinaas niya iyon. She wink. Hudyat na ibababa na niya.
Go Leon! I cheered to myself.
Nang maibaba ay agad na tumakbo ang motor ni Perseus na parang gutom habang ako? Pinapausok pa lamang ang makina. The audience's faces are mixed with worries and joy. Nang makatatlong ikot siya ay saka ko lamang pinaharurot ang motor ni Seiji.
I drove fast as the lightning. Di kalaunan ay nalampasan ko siya. The crowd became wild. That made me smile and happily drive till finish line. I stopped. He stopped too.
I faced him. I positioned my arm and aim a finger gun at him and fired it
"Bang!" I mouthed. My trademark.
After it. I drove fast and furious back to my house.
