Chapter 4

Bulungan at sigawan ang rinig ko sa campus.

“Totoo? Wala na si Jessa?”

“What happened?”

“Ano kinamatayan nya?”

Ilan sa mga bulungan at pag uusap na narinig ko habang naglalakad ako papunta sa classroom namin. When I arrive in front of our classroom's door, an evil smirk formed on my lips. Pumasok na ako.

“Esabella! Narinig mo ba?” Tanong ni Oliver, kaklase ko.

“Ang alin?” Tanong ko.

“Si Jessa, Yung nagbubully sa inyo, she's dead.” He said frightened.

“Huh? S-Si Jessa?” Pagpapanggap kung usal at tumango s'ya.

Kunware ay natakot at nagulat ako pero sa kaloob-looban ko ay puno ng saya at ngiti ang nangyayari.

“A-Ano kinamatayan n'ya?” tanong ko dito na kunware ay hindi ko alam. Tsk. Dumbass I'm the one who killed that animal.

“Hindi namin alam.” Sagot nito at nagbugtong hininga ako.

“Okay students! Go back to your seats!” Saad ni Miss Robles kaya naglakad ako papunta sa upuan ko. When I passed Alliah I heard her say...

“Nice acting, Assasin.” Bulong nitong saad sa akin na ikinagulat ko. Umupo ako.

“I guess everyone know about Jessa's death. Students, being outside at night is so dangerous, let's just pray for a peace rest for Jessa.” Saad ni Miss Robles.

“Rest in hell, Jessa!” Bulong ko sa sarili ko din formed a smirk on my lips.

Lahat Ng tao sa campus ay nagulat sa pagkamatay ni Jessa. What bothers me is Alliah. She said Assassin‽ In lunch break wanted to approach her pero umalis s'ya, she wasn't in the room, not outside.

Natapos ang klase na hindi kami nakakapag usap. Papauwi na lahat, I was still searching for Liah. I saw her coming out the gate kaya tumakbo ako at nilapitan s'ya. I grasp her wrist at kinaladkad s'ya.

“B-Bitawan mo nga ako, Esa bitaw!” Sigaw nya pero patuloy ko lang s'yang kinaladkad papunta sa library. Nagtago kami in midst of the bookshelves.

“Ano ba kailangan mo?” Tanong nya. Galit at takot Ang dinig ko sa boses nya.

“Ano ba problema mo?” I asked and takot na takot nya akong tiningnan. She's frightened, what's wrong?

“I-I k-know you're the one who killed J-Jessa...” She shutters and I was shocked like, how? How did she know?

“What?” I shockingly asked but I acted calmly para Hindi nya mahalata.

“I-Isa kang Assassin 'no? Isa kang killer?” Malakas nyang saad so I covered her mouth.

“Hindi ako killer.” Mahina kong Sagot at binitawan s'ya.

“Talaga lang? Hindi ko mawari Ang dahilan Ng pagkamatay ni Jessa but Esa, Nakita kitang sinunsundan s'ya kahapon.” Takot nyang saad.

“Tapos?” Tanong ko.

“I-I just feel it.... I k-know you're the murderer.” Sagot nya at nagbugtong hininga ako.

“Bakit mo nasabi?” Tanong ko na naman.

“Just like the movies Esa!! Karamihan sa mayayaman mamamatay tao, Mafia kung Baga!” Saad nya na dahilan ng pagtawa ko. I don't know but I just found her theory funny.

“A-Ano tinatawatawa m-mo dyan?” Saad nya kaya napatawa ako.

“Wait, give me sec.”  Tawa parin ako Ng tawa. Tch. She's so weird and funny. But... In other thoughts, she's right. I'm a mafia, some of rich people are doing illegal jobs, I'm one of them. I stopped laughing and cleared my  throat.

“Should I be honest with you?” I fiercely asked and she gulped.

“Be honest with me, I won't be afraid and I will trust you.” She bravely answered pero halata parin Ang takot sa boses nya.

“Should I be honest with you?" Mahina Kong Saad and her eyes widened.

“E-Esa....” May takot sa mga Mata nya habang nakatingin sa akin. She looks at me like i was an Ang before but on how she stares at me right now I'd like she just Satan arise from hell.

“Yes, I'm the murderer.” Saad ko and she closed her eyes.

“E-Esa, pwede mo P-Pang bawiin Ang sinabi mo... T-Tell me you are just joking.” Saad nya then I shook my head.

“I'm a mafia, the Woodward Gang's mafia princess.” Matapang Kong Saad sa kanya.

“Takot ka sakin? I don't care if you don't want to be a friend of mine now that you know the truth but.... I'm telling you Liah.... Don't ever spill a word.” I hissed and sighed.

"You have two choices... You'll cover the truth and continue to be my friend or spill the truth, you know what's the consequences of telling the truth, Liah...” I seriously said to her. I'm dead serious right now.

“Cover the truth to protect me so I can protect my family.” Saad ko at tinalikuran s'ya.

“Once you follow me that means you still wants to be my friend, if not, then be it.” Saad ko at naglakad papalayo sa kanya.

I walked out the library. I went to the parking lot of the school para kunin Ang kotse ko. Heckkk!

Nakalimutan ko kung asan ang car keys ko. I looked on my shoulder bag, kinalkal ko ito.

“Arghhh! Where are those fucking keys‽” Sigaw ko at biglang may humawak sa damit ko. I grasp the hand of who the fuck touched me and I was about to flip that person but I stopped when I saw it's face. Si Alliah.

“I was about to flip you off, wag moko gulatin kung ayaw mo masaktan.” Sigaw ko sa kanya then she pout and I cleared my throat.

“A-Ano yun?” Hindi ko s'ya tiningnan. Nagtatampo-tampuhan ako.

“You're the only one who called me friend, so I will protect you like how you protected my dignity.” She said then pout, Ang cute nya. Kanina lang ay subrang takot sya sa akin pero ngayon she's being adorable towards me.

“Tch.” Nakangiti Kong Saad.

“I will cover the truth to protect you, only you.” Saad nya.

“Sasawayin mo Ang batas para sakin?” Tanong ko at walang alinlangan syang tumango.

“Lahat para sa kaibigan ko.” Saad nya at bigla nya akong niyakap. Nagulat ako dun, no one hugged me except for Daddy Leo.

“A-Alliah...” pagtawag ko sa kanya.

“I'm sorry... I just feel I want to hug you.” Saad nya at bumitaw.

“I will go home now, I need to do something.” Saad ko at tumango s'ya. I just found my keys in my pocket, tch.

Pumasok ako sa kotse ko.

“It's time for my adventure.” I said and winked. She chuckled then I shut my car's door and started to drive.

I drove to my next destination, for a new mission.

“You need to get the flashdrive from that guy. Big Drug transactions are uploaded there.” Dwayne reported from the radio. He send the location in my car's device.

“Copy that.” I said at binilisan ang pagdrive.

I stopped driving when I arrived 60 meters away from my destination. I changed my clothes. I wore a black sleeveless and a pocketed jeans for the gun and weapons I'll use. I put on a bulletproof jacket. When I finished changing, I drove towards my destination. Nakarating ako sa isang bahay, this house was located in the center of a forest. I went outside my car.

I just found myself smirking, those men are expecting me to be here. May mga lalaki Ang nasa labas Ng bahay. They looked at me, there were five of them.

“Where's your boss?” I asked.

“Dadaan ka Muna samin, bata.” Saad Ng Isa. They pointed their gun on me.

I threw a smoke stick on them, to cover me up. I took out a gun on my pocket and run towards them. Nagpaputok sila, but they don't even know where I am. The smoke will only last 2 minutes.

I grasp on of the men and broke his neck. I shot the other one with my gun. The smoke is gone. Nakatutok Ang dalawang baril sa ulo ko.

“May lakas loob ka pang lumaban?” Saad Ng Isang lalaki. I kicked the other man away and shot his legs.

The other man kicked me away, I slipped. I took out my knife at hinagis ito, the knife landed on his hands kaya nabitawan nya ang baril n'ya. I stood up and shot his head. Dalawa nalang sila.

The other one is already shot on his legs, itong Isa nalang. She tried to punch me but I dodged. I tried to punch him but I strike off. I intentionally slipped and kicked his feet. I cocked my gun then shot him on his head. I went towards the one whom I shots in his legs.oko patayin. Maawa ka...” He shutters, I shot him in his legs again.

“Ahhh!” Sigaw nito.

“Kalalaki mong tao nagmamakaawa ka sa harap ng babae. Tsk. Tsk. Ang Hina mo.” Saad ko.

“Maawa ka, M-Miss wag moko patayin.” Pagmamakaawa nito at ngumiti ako. I cocked my gun at itinutok ito sa ulo nya.

“I show no mercy.” I said then pull the trigger.

“Esa!” Tawag Ng Isang boses. Si Dwayne, dumating na sila. Kasama ni Dwayne Si Klinton at Ang ibang kasama namin, the lower ranks.

“Let's go inside.” Saad ko at nanguna sa pagpasok. Maraming bodyguard sa loob. Tinutukan nila ako Ng baril ngunit tinutukan din sila Ng mga kasama ko. There is a man who is seating in front, nagtama ang mga Mata namin at ngumiti ako. I walked towards him. Nakatutok parin Ang mga baril sa akin but Dwayne and Klinton comes with me.

“Sat down, milady.” Saad Ng lalaki.

“Ibaba nyo Ang baril nyo.” Saad nito. I sat down on one of the chairs in front of him.

“What can I do for you?” Tanong nito. I put my hands on his table.

“Give me the flashdrive.” Mahinahon Kong Saad at tumawa s'ya.

“Sa tingin mo ganun yun kadali, Esabella Woodward?” Saad Ng lalaki. He had a deep brown eyes, when you stare at it, you will feel like you're drowning. He has a charming eyes, a sweet smile, makapal din Ang kilay nya at napakakisig, he is definitely hot.

“Hindi madali pero kakayanin ko.” Sagot ko at ngumiti sa kanya, he shook his head.

“Sayang lang, Ang Ganda mo para mamatay dito sa lugar ko.” Natatawa nyang saad.

“What makes you think you can kill me?” Saad ko na may ngiti. I stood up and put the gun on his head. Tinutok Ng mga kasamahan nya ang baril sa akin ngunit andyan si Dwayne at Klinton to cover me up.

“Give me the flashdrive.” Pag ulit ko and then he pushed me away na dahilan ng pagkagulo ng sitwasyon. The lower rankd are having fight with the man's people at kaaway din ni Dwayne ang... Let me call it na right hand ng lalaki. Tumayo ako at lumapit sa akin Ang lalaki.

“Let me introduce myself, I'm Marlon Brando.” Saad nya. Fuck! I lose my gun, it slipped from my hand.

I kicked him away from me but he was able to grasp my foot si it was a failed assail, he flipped me.

We kept on a fist fight. I was able to strike him but he has a strong muscle. Pumulot s'ya Ng baril. Tsk.

“Sayang lang, mamamatay Ang Isang anghel sa kamay ko.” Saad nya then cocked the gun. I took out another knife from my pocket.

“Tsk. Kutsilyo? What makes you think na mapapatumba mo amo gamit ang Isang kutsilyo?” Saad nya.

“Sa munting kutsilyo ko, dadanak Ang dugo mo.” Saad ko. I saw Dwayne in his back so I smirked. Dwayne kicked Marlon towards me so I strike him with my hand in his neck. I stabbed Marlon I his chest. He held my hair.

“K-Karma will come.” Saad nya.

“Yes! Karma will come, I do come.” Saad ko then hit the final blow. I stabbed him again in his chest. He took his last breath.

Kinapa ko ang suit nya at hinanap Ang flashdrive. I took it out from his pants and threw it to Dwayne and he catches it.

Dwayne offered a hand at pinatayo ako.

“Well done, Esa!” Pagbati ni Dwayne at nginitian ako. Some of our low ranks died pero marami pa din Ang bilang naming nandito, lahat Ng kasamahan ni Marlon ay Patay na.

“It's time to go home.” Saad nya at inakbayan ako. I feel someone is staring at us, lumingon ako. Galit na nakatingin sa Amin si Klinton at lumabas s'ya.

“Let's go home.” Saad ko Kay Dwayne at ngumiti s'ya.
