Chapter 22: Dagger
Desmond's POV
"This will be the last time that I will do your favor, Rajna. Hindi ba ikaw dapat ang kumukuha nito sa police station?" Irritation filled my voice when I headed to Rajna's law office to give her the files she needed for the case she's holding.
She should be the one who's collecting some evidence on the defendant, not me. I'm still busy with the killings that are happening here in Manila, but here I am, giving some files to my cousin.
She grimaced at me and patted my shoulders, the reason why I clenched my jaw. "Thanks, cousin. Libre lang naman ang katapat nito sa'yo, hindi ba?" I shut my eyes and tried to control my anger towards Rajna.
Ang sarap balibagin, argh!
"Sa susunod na gawin mo ulit 'to, hahayaan na lang kita, Rajna. Ang tamad mo. Para saan pa ang mga paa mo kung hindi mo naman gagamitin?"
"Oh gosh, Desmond! Grabe ka mag-talk, ha. Don't worry because this will be the last time that I will request a favor from you," she hissed and rolled her eyes.
Ngumisi ako. "Sabi mo 'yan, ha. Huwag mo na akong gagambalain."
"Des, what the hell! Wala ka ba talagang pakialam sa pinsan mo?" she exclaimed but it doesn't even bother my conscience. She still looks like the ten year old Rajna Criselatia that I know, napaka-spoiled pa rin at maarte.
"Stop disturbing me, Rajna. Alam mo namang may hawak akong kaso ngayon tapos sisingit ka pa." Mahina siyang natawa na para bang hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi ko.
Pare-pareho lang naman kaming maraming ginagawa pero hindi kasi uso sa kanya ang pagkukusa e.
"I literally hate you right now, Desmond. My law office is only a few minutes away from the CIDG, so don't be grumpy." Hindi ko ba alam kung saan niya nakukuha ang kakapalan ng mukha niya pero nakaka-ubos siya ng pasensya.
"Bakit ka galit? Ikaw na nga 'tong naka-abala, tss."
"Shut up, libre lang naman ang kailangan mo e," sabi niya at binuksan ang folder na binigay ko.
"Aalis na ako, naistorbo mo ako e," diin ko sa kanya at akmang maglalakad na nang biglang tawagin niya na naman ang pangalan ko. Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na hininga at sinubukan na pakalmahin ang sarili ko sa pinsan kong nakakairita.
"Are you this dumb, Desmond?" 'Yon ang pahabol niya kung kaya tumaas ang kilay ko.
"I know you already agreed on the arranged marriage. Do you even know what you're doing?" Rajna grumbled, and immediately confusion disappeared from my expression. Do we need to talk about this now?
"It's not of your business, Raj--"
