บท 161: Leo's promised!
"What did you say?"
Marahas na tanong ni Mr. Mondejar sa kanyang nag iisang anak na lalaki.
"I told you to stop—"
Ani Leo na halos lumuwa ang litid sa kanyang leeg sa lakas ng sigaw.
"Stop? Who are you to—"
"I'm not asking you as your comrade, I'm asking you as your son. Let's stop this, marami ng mga taong nadadamay dahil sa atin."
Tinitigan sya nito na para bang tinatansya, he smirked afterwards.
"As my son? Bakit kailan kaba naging anak sa akin?"
"Why don't you asked yourself, when did you become a father to me before asking
me this stup—"
Nilapitan sya ng ama at akmang hahablutin ng bigla niya itong itinulak.
Leo grab the gun na nasa tagiliran ng tauhan ng kanyang ama at baliwalang pinaputukan ito sa hita.
Naalerto naman lahat ng naroroon nang tinutukan niya ang ama, Leo's expression was blank but his eyes is burning with fury.
"Ayaw kong umabot pa tayo sa ganito, pero ayaw niyong makinig!"
Malakas na napahalakhak si Mondejar.
"I'm probably to soft with you, Am I not?—bring her to me!"
Utos nito sa mga tauhan, ganoon nalang ang takot na nararamdaman ni Leo nang makita ang ina na may baril na nakatotok sa sentido nito.
The fire in his eyes automatically died, napalitan ito ng sobrang takot at pag aalala para sa kaligtasan ng ina.
"I told you you, I own your life—"
"Hayop ka talaga!"
Malakas na bulyaw ng ina ni Leo kay Mondejar.
"Wala ka talagang konsensya, pati anak mo dinadamay mo sa kahayupan mo. Patayin mo nalang ako, wag mo ng idamay ang anak ko, para mo ng awa!"
"Hindi mo pa ura—!"
"Stop it!"
Nanginginig sa galit na inilang hakbang ni Leo ang pagitan nila ng lalaking may hawak sa kanyang ina, at pinagsusuntok ito sa mukha hanggang sa mawalan ito ng malay.
"I'm going to do what you want, please spare my mom!"
Nakaluhod na pagmamakaawa ni Leo, habang nakakuyom ang kanyang mga kamao.
"Don't mind me anak! Malaki kana it's about time for you to decide for your own. Wag mo na akong isipin!"
"Ma—"
"Bring her back!"
Utos ni Mondejar sa kanyang mga tauhan.
"Leo. .anak. Wag kang makinig sa kanya para mo ng awa—"
Hindi na umimik si Leo habang patuloy na tumutulo ang kanyang luha, parang gusto niyang sumabog sa galit ng mga uras na iyon.
Leo wanted to do something pero ang katotohanang kahit ano man ang kanyang gawin wala syang magagawa dahil sa sitwasyon, hawak ng kanyang ama ang taong pinaka importante sa kanya.
"Siguro naman naiintindihan mo na ngayon ang ibig kong sabihin—"
"Maipapangako mo ba ang kaligtasan ni mama?"
Bigla nalang napatitig ng masama si Mondejar sa kanya.
"Makuha mo parin bang mag mayabang kahit sa ganitong—"
"Maipapangako mo ba?"
Nanlilisik ang mga matang bulyaw ni Leo sa ama.
"Sa uras na may mangyaring masama kay mama, hahabulin ko kayong lahat kahit sa empyerno pa kayo magpunta!"
"I promised the safety of your mother—just bring Hades granddaughter to me!"
Mayamayay may pagsukong sabi ni Mondejar while he secretly smirked.
Wala syang planong tuparin ang pangako niya rito, sa uras na madala nito sa kanya ang apo ng mortal niyang kaaway, Leo is no longer of used.
At isa lang ang dapat gawin sa mga wala ng silbi—itapon!
"That brat has done to many damaged to me, she already got Ronald and this time it's Kurt—I should hung her head to served everyone as a warning!"
Anito maya-maya that makes Leo grit his teeth and despised him even more.
"And oh—"
Pahabol nito.
"That boy seems to be your rival— finished him, I don't want you to have a future trouble!"
Not my brother—you monster!
Gusto sanang isigaw ni Leo sa pagmumukha ng ama pero pinigil niya ang sarili, it will only put Rain in danger.
Leo was shaking in anger, no one could ever touch any of his family, not anymore!
He stood up, at walang lingon likod na lumakad palayo sa naturang lugar. In his head, alam niyang kahit kailan hindi marunong tumupad sa kasunduan ang ama.
He's a big liar and a traitor!
Pero sa uras na may mangyaring masama sa kanya ina hinding hindi niya ito palalampasin, isasama niya ito sa hukay.
"Thank you!"
Naalala niyang sabi ng kanyang ina sa kanya ng minsang pinayagan sya ng ama na kausapin ito.
"For what?"
Pabigla niyang tanong.
"For keeping your, promise. I understand why you've told me—"
"I don't understand, ma!"
Nagtatakang tanong ni Leo sa ina.
She was smiling, the kind of smile na laging niyang nakikita rito noon but there was sadness in her face.
"I saw your brother!"
Pabulong nitong sabi that made him gasped in shock. She said it while sobbing heartily and crampling the edge of her shirt.
"Where? but my brother—"
"He was here with me! Lee alam ko na ang totoo. I saw his necklace—I am a mother and how could a mother not recognized her own blood?"
Anitong nag uunahan ang pagtulo ng kanyang mga luha.
"He had my eyes,too!"
"I'm sorry mom, if I lied to you!"
Doon na impit na napahagulgol si Leo, hindi na niya makayaan ang emotion. His heart is breaking knowing the truth that his mother already knew about his brother.
He also felt sorry towards Rain nakita at nakausap na nito ang tunay na ina pero wala man lang itong ka alam-alam.
"I understand—your brother, how is he? Is he being good to you?"
Napatitig si Leo ng matagal sa kanyang ina habang patuloy na lumuluha.
"He's been good to me, ma. We been friends kahit noong hindi ko pa alam!"
Pagsisinungaling niya sa ina.
No! It wasn't a lie. The two of them could've been friends if not because of their situation.
Rain's been good to him kaya lang naman ito naging aloof sa kanya because he's being protective with Sophia, that he'll do the same kung siya man ang nasa position nito.
"Let's protect him, huh? we should stop this son, it's enough napapagod na ako sa ganito!"
"I promise ma, I'm going to protect him but please take care of yourself, hold on a little at matatapos din ang lahat ng ito. I will bring you somewhere, ilalayo kita dito malayong malayo—"
Napahagulgol niyang sabi habang nakasubsob ang kanyang mukha sa kandungan ng kanyang ina.
Seeing her mother in that state breaks his heart into pieces, ito lang ang tanging meron sya mula paman noon hanggang ngayon.
His Mother spend her youth with him and looking her beautiful face right now na tila tumanda ito ng ilang taon sa orihinal nitong edad, parang gustong gusto niyang patayin ang lalaking dahilan ng lahat ng paghihirap nito.
But that man is not just any man. He's Mondejar his very own father.
His father was never been a father to him kaya't malayong malayo ang loob niya rito, but nevertheless, hindi niya matatanggal sa kanyang systema ang katotohanang ito ang kanyang ama.
"I will always go with you, wherever you go!"
Anito na niyakap sya ng mahigpit.
"I'm sorry ma!"
"It's me who should apologized to the of you, I never been a good mother. You were in this situation because of me and yet you're always protecting me, it's time for me to do the favor!"
Nakangiti nitong sabi habang pinapahid ang kanyang mga luha.
"It's my duty as you're son ma!"
Hindi na ito sumagot at niyakap na lamang sya ng mahigpit.
The memory of it makes him happy and sad at the same time, hindi na nga niya namalayan ang pag agos ng mga luha.
Leo suddenly jerked when his phone vibrate.
"Sir I already found her!"
"Where?"
Pabigla niyang sagot sa kabilang linya, the other line give him the exact location bago niya ito pinatayan.
Leo dialed another number, and this time he was hoping against hope that he would picked up the phone immediately before it's too late.
