Friendship
(PORTUGAL PART 3)
HINDI ALAM ni Shun kung bakit hindi niya magawang kalabitin ang gatilyo habang nakatutok ang baril na hawak sa misyon niya. He was sent to Spain to give an individual, a nobility, a lesson not to mess with the law.
Knight Alastair Minrod Velasquez was a son of Count Kelleon Velasquez. And Knight broke the law as he see fit and his employer just want him to give the spoiled brat a lesson.
That was his mission and he already expected going face to face with the brat but what Shun didn't expect was to be drag along with his lunacy and actually fighting along side with him.
He was told that the Count's son was dangerous but this Knight he met was not dangerous, he's like a kid in a man's body. He's happy-go-lucky and he has this 'I don't care' vibe around him.
And when he fought alongside with him, Shun felt like he can trust his back on him. At alam niyang hindi siya dapat nakaramdam ng ganun. But Knight protected his back when they were fighting even knowing who he was and what his intentions were.
Is this why I can't pull the fucking trigger? Because he protected my back?
Fuck!
Magaan kasama, masayahin at happy-go-lucky ang una niyang impresyon kay Knight ng una itong makilala at makausap, pero habang nakatayo ito ngayon sa harapan niya at nakatutok ang baril niya rito, walang emosyon sa mukha nito.
It's like he's looking at a dead man's eyes.
"Guys, come on," boses iyon ni Valerian na sapo ang sugat, "stop this nonsense, let's go. I'm tired."
Mula sa gilid ng mga mata niya ay nakita niyang sumusuray na si Valerian at bigla nalang itong nabuwal sa pagkakatayo. Siguro dahil sa sugat na natamo nito.
Shun doesn't know what to call Valerian. a hero or an idiot for taking a hit for a spoiled brat nobility.
Ayaw niyang mangdamay ng inosente— halatang mabait si Valerian— pero ang misyon ay misyon.
Humigpit ang hawak niya sa baril ng makitang gumalaw ang kamay ni Knight. Handa na siyang barilin ito ng magulat siya ng mabilis nitong nahawakan ang kamay niya saka hinila sila palayo sa kinatatayuan.
Shun was stunned when he saw a bullet hit near the pavement he was standing earlier.
Mabilis na itinutok ni Shun ang baril sa pinanggalingan ng bala at sunod-sunod na kinalabit 'yon ng makita ang lalaking may hawak na baril.
At nang mapatumba niya ang lalaki, gulat siyang napatitig kay Knight. Kung hindi siya nito hinila, siguradong tinamaan na siya.
Knight looked at him, "it's for the cake in the Train. Thanks." Pagkasabi nito niyon ay nilapitan nito si Valerian at inalalayan patayo saka bumaling sa kaniya, "can you try to kill me later? I'm kind of busy." He was asking as if they're not talking about life and death and then he pointed Valerian, "innocent person here, hello?"
"Are you fucking serious?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya rito. "I just pointed a gun at you!"
He can't fathom this guy! What the hell is he thinking?!
"I know, i was shaking." Puno ng sarkasmo nitong sabi saka napailing, "come on! We need to get to safety!"
Sa sinabi nito, mabilis niya itong tinulungan para alalayan si Valerian saka nagnakaw na naman ng sasakyan si Knight para may gamitin sila.
Oh, hindi pala 'yon pagnanakaw. Nanghihiram lang pala sila.
"Why save me?" Tanong ni Shun habang nasa passenger seat siya at nakahiga naman sa backseat si Valerian at si Knight ang nagmamaneho. "And don't tell me because of the cake."
