Yakuza Royalties

Chapter 27 : Gone

Khera Mitzy Candice POV

Sobrang tahimik ng paligid, maski mga katulong ay di nag salita at pumunta sa kanya kanya nilang lugar. Walang may ganang mag salita samin. Nagkakatinginan lang kami sa isa't isa na may tensyon.

" Mymy? "

Muli kong naituon ang atensyon ko kay Claude na karga karga ko lang ngayon. Huminga muna ako ng malalim saka ngumiti kay Claude at hinalikan to sa noo.

" I'm so sorry sweetie, but Mymy have to talk to your Dada. Go to Yaya Susan first okay? Mymy will follow later. "

Tumango naman si Claude sakin at saka ko binalingan ng tingin si Ate Susan na sya namang agad tumango. Kinuha nya naman sakin si Claude at saka dumeretso dila pa akyat sa taas. Nong makita kong naka pasok na talaga sila sa kwarto ay saka pa ako napa lingon pabalik sa dalawang taong kanina pa naka tingin sakin.

" So, it is true? Ano pa nga ba ang masasaksihan ko dito diba? Ano pa ba talaga ang kailangan kong masaksihan dito ah?! "

Puno nang galit na ani ni Xyriel. Umiiyak sya ngayon na nakaharap saki. At puno ng galit. Sinubukan ko syang lapitan at nag salita ng mahinahon.

" It's not what you think Xyr---"

* Paaaaak!!! *

I was caught off guard when she slap me hard. Natagilid pa nga ang mukha ko sa sampal na ginawa nya, but, I still looked at her straight , like there's no slapping scene happened. I never questioned why she did that and I'm not denying that this is all my fault. I deserve to be slapped by her anyway. I kept everything from her, I kept secrets that I know can hurt her , and what's more? I didn't do anything to make it right for her. Bibigyan pa sana nya ako ng isa pang sampal , I know she's furious right now, I can feel it . Pero agad napabaling ang tingin ko kay Sky nong mabilis nyabg napigilan si Xyriel. Niyakap nya to ng sobrang higpit. Nag pupumiglas pa nga si Xy sa kanya.

" Let go of me Xavier. I said let the fvcking h*ll go!! "

Agad syang binitawan ni Sky dahil sa gulat nong sumigaw na talaga sya at malakas nyang itinulak si Sky. And I never thought we would cussed like that. I never think of a day she'll say that. And it's because of me.

" You, how could you do this to me? I treated you like my bestfriend, even more than a friend could be. I treated you like a sister Mitzy! But why? Why did you lie to me? If you think you did it for my own good, well, it didn't. You could've told me at least. You could've warned me so I won't be hurt like this. But you didn't! You keep on making me like a stupid fool! I trusted you Mitzy, I trusted you so much that it makes me loved you like my own sister. I didn't even think that I would be hurt like this by you. "

I can feel warm liquid flows down to my eyes. This is my first time someone saw me cry besides my parents. I never ever cry in front of my friends before. I always stayed as stiff as I can, no emotions coming out, I always looked like I was the supreme . That's how I trained myself ever since I was a kid. But now, I can feel like I'm being slapped many times, that I'm being stab right on my chest, I can't even breathe properly. Nakita kong nagulat si Sky nong makita akong umiiyak ng di ko namamalayan. Gusto nya sanang mag salita pero walang lumalabas sa bibig nya.

" Kaya pala madalas ko kayong makikitang magkasama ehh. Kaya pala parang ang close nyo na sa isa't isa. Kaya pala daddy ang tawag ng anak mo kay Xavier ay dahil sya naman pala talaga ang ama nito. At kaya pala ayaw ng magaling kong boyfriend na pumunta ako sa bahay nya ay dahil dito pala nakatira ang fiancee at anak nya. Ngayon... ano pa bang sekreto ang di ko nalalaman huh? Baka mahal nyo na ang isa't isa at itatakwil nalang ako na parang wala lang? "

umiiyak nyang sabi, habang ako... nasasaktan ako dahil nasasaktan sya ngayon ng dahil sakin.

" Let me ask you this Mitzy. Pinlano mo ba talaga na wag sabihin sakin ang sekretong to para maagaw mo sakin si Xavier?? At plano mo ring isama si Kyla sa mga plano mo dahil kaibigan sya namin ni Xavier huh?? "

I was like, what the fvck was that, again? I see, so that's why this all started huh? That pecker-header donkey b*tch , I can't even think of what kind of b*llsh*t stories she came up to make me like a stupid w***e in Xyriel's eyes. Just don't let me see that darn worm again, I swear I will skin and grilled her alive, tch. Napatingin nalamang ako kay Xyriel na nag aantay sa sagot ko, kaya bumuntong hininga ako.

" A part of it was true, I did planned on keeping it as a secret from you, not just because it's what I wanted. I just don't like the fact that you'll see me as your greatest enemy if I'll confess to you. And also, Sky did asked me to keep it not just from you, but to all students too. And you got it all wrong Xyriel, I never planned on taking Sky from you. That never came up in my mind either. Because I don't want you two to break up again, and I don't want it to happen just because of me. It happened once, and I don't want it to happen twice. Oh, one more thing, It's not my nature to negotiate with those good for nothing wretch worms. That two face anaconda she's the one who wanted to break you up right from the start, not me. And if you don't trust me, then asked her by yourself instead. "

Nagulat naman sila sa sinabi ko, I don't care kung magulat sila oh ano. I just want to go upstairs and think I want to relax myself, especially now, I really wanna skin that b*tch alive you know. I want to hunt her down myself, tie her upside down, and skin her alive like a freak*n goat!

" Don't worry, I won't mind if you trust my words or not. I just wanted to warn you about that psychopath . Haven't you realized it yet? I've long known of you both having a secret relationship behind my back, and even in front of me. But still, I kept my mouth shut . I even let you have a free relationship where you can date and do whatever you want freely even if I know my parents wouldn't let me go that fast if they know about this. So don't think that I'm going to take Sky from you, I'm not even thinking of it, not even once. Frankly speaking , I don't like this marriage in the first place. It's fine as long as I have my son with me. I can give him everything he wants, you know. I can take care of him until he grows up. "

Bumuntong hininga naman si Xyriel at saka itinuon ang tingin kay Sky.

" I have a question for you Xav, and I want you to answer it honestly. "

" Anything babe. "

Sagot ni Sky sa kanya ng walang pag alinlangan. Mukhang alam ko na kung anong mangyayare at gustong gusto ko na sanang umalis rito. Dahil kung hindi ay ako lang ang masasaktan rito.

" Do you still love me?? "

It feels like I'm on a movie, looking at the main characters while I am just the side character of the story. I can feel my heart ache a bit. I don't even want to feel this. She intensely stare at Sky who's also looking at her. Darn, why must I be the side character here? It irritates me like a d*mn. Just please, don't let me see those things that I don't like. I don't even know why I'm feeling like this, I hope someone can answer my question. I hope Ryle's here with me. I hope so.

" Of course... I do love you , it never changed . "

Will I give them an applause then? Ghad, when will they stop? Good heavens.

" Then , do you love Mitzy? "

Dang! Is she serious? Why would she asked that? Sky's face and I were totally dumbfounded. Our mouths were both hanged out of shock as well as our eye balls were about to fall off our big shocked eyes. I mean, who wouldn't be?

" I do care for Khera that's all , I don't love her. You're the only girl that I love, Maine. "

He looks sincere and there's no doub in his voice. But d*mn, that hurts like h*ll sh*t! I secretly put my hand on my chest as if clutching my shirt. Do I look like I'm just a statue here, huh? I saw Xyriel smile after she heard Sky's answer.

" Then kaya mo ba akong ipag laban sa dad mo , NGAYON??.."

Natigilan ulit kami... Sky turned to face me... and I just smiled at tumango

Mukha naman silang naibtan ng tinik at ito ako. Puno na ng tinik sa puso, ang sakit sakit ehh. But... if I say no... ano naman ang magagawa ko... di naman ako mahal ??... s**t this love thingy... sana bato nalang puso ko ehh.... nakita ko namang ngumiti si Xy sakin and I know di pa nya kayang lumapit sakin dahil sa nangyari. Kaya hinayaan ko nalang sya.

" If there's nothing else, can I go now? My baby's waiting for me upstairs. "

Nong makita kong pareho silang tumango ay ako naman yung napaginhawa. Para bang ang tagal kong di huminga? Di ko na sila inantay pa na mag salita at saka umalis na sa living room at umakyat ng hagdan. Napahawak naman ako sa gilid ng mukha ko kung saan nasampal ni Xy. Ramdam ko nag pag iinit non, pero di ko niramdam ang sakit. I better not. I deserve this slap anyway.

Xavier Skylex POV

Maaga akong nagising at dito na rin natulog si Maine. Sa guest room nga lang at kumakain na kami ngayon ni Maine dito.

" Manang, please woke Khera up, I bet Claude's also hungry now. "

Normal na ani ko kay Manang Belen. Nag hahanda kasi ng pagkain si Yaya Susan. Magkahawak kamay kami ni Maine habang kumakain. Kaya masaya ako, talo ko pa ang bata sa saya ko. Natigilan naman ako sa pag kain nong hindi umimik si Manang Belen at di man lang kumilos. Nakatingin lang to sakin habang nakakunot ang noo.

" Manang? "

Pag ulit ko, nanatili pa rin sya sa pwesto nya.

" Ya Susan! Paki gising nga si Khera! "

Nag mamadali namang lumabas galing kusina si Yaya Susan na tulad ni Manang Belen ay naka kunot din ang noo.

" Po sir? Nabingi lang po ba ako? Tama ba yung narinig ko Manang? "

Tumango naman si Manang sa kanya. Nalilito na talaga ako sa inaasta nilang dalawa. Kaya napa higpit ang hawak ko sa kamay ni Maine.

" Is there something happened that I didn't know, Manang? "

Seryoso ko nang ani. Napayuko naman sya at mag sasalita na sana si Yaya Susan kaso siniko nya to kaya napatabon ng bibig. Halata na sila eh. Sa mga kinikilos palang nila.

" Answer me , Manang "

There's a warning on my voice. Kaya napa talon sa gulat ang dalawa. Naramdaman ko naman ang mahinahong pag haplos ni Maine sa kamay ko. Kaya medyo huminahon ako.

" Di ko na kailangan pang umakyat anak, wala na naman kasi akong taong magigising don. "

" What do you mean? "

Nalilito kong tanong. I don't know why but my hearts been pumping wildly. I felt nervous all over.

" Wala na sina Miss Mitzy at Young Master Claude. Umalis sila kanina pang madaling araw. Ang habilin nya sakin ay sabihin ko nalang daw sa iyo pag gising ka na . At wag mo daw syang hahanapin dahil di na kailangan. "

Agad napa yukom ang kamao ko nong marinig ko yun. Alam kong wala syang hinabilin na lugar o ano man kay Manang Belen. She just don't want me to know where she is. I know that, but I can't help myself, I badly wanna know where they are. And there's only one place I know where they might. And I hope I'll see them there.

" Let's go Maine... we have to go somewhere...."

Agad kaming umalis at pumunta sa Villa Dela Vega . At nong makarating kami don ay agad akong nag tanong kung narito ba si Khera. Pero lahat ng nag ta trabaho don ay walang alam sa kinaroroonan nya. Kaya pinuntahan ko ang bahay ng mga kaibigan nya dito. Inisa isa ko talaga. Na suntok pa ako ni Kyled. Nong makarating ako sa bahay nila ay di pa nga ako naka pasok sa gate, sinalubong na nya agad ako ng suntok. Pinuntahan ko din ang bahayng mga kaibigan ko nag babakasakali na baka makita ko sya don. At sa huli nang list ko ay ang condo ni Xaviel. Pagkadating ko don ay walang isang tao.

" Xav, your brother texted me. He wants you to go to your dad's main office. "

His main office here? Kaya walang alinlangan ay tumakbo na ako palabas kasama si Maine. Taranta din syang tumakbo, mas mabilis pa ata sya kesa sakin. Mabilis akong nag patakbo ng sasakyan ko para lang maka rating sa office ni dad agad. Para na akong temang na takbo ng takbo makarating lang agad sa office. Nong makarating ay agad akong sinalubong ng sekretarya ni Dad pero di ko lang to pinansin at deritsong pumasok sa office.

" Where's Xaviel?!.."

" I'm right here brother! "

Normal lang na ani nya na para bang walang nangyare. Nilapitan ko naman sya at saka kwenilyuhan. Napataas naman ang dalawang kamay nya na akala mo ay su-surrender sa isang away. Agad naman akong inawat ni Maine. Nang may tumikhim galing sa likuran ko. Kaya pareho kaming napalingon don.

" Dad??..."

Kakarating palang ata nya rito, kasama nya si Yuji na nasa tabi nya lang.

" Good, now that both of my sons are here. I see you also bring your girl along, Xavier. "

Patango tango nyang sabi habang naka hawan sa chin nya na nakatingin kay Maine. Halata namang kinakabahan si Maine sa tabi ko. Kaya itinago ko sya sa likuran ko, tumabi naman si Xaviel sakin. Na seryoso din na naka tingin kay Dad. Sinundan lang namin sya ng tingin hanggang sa naka upo sya sa swivel chair nya dito sa office.

" Is this really your choice , Xavier? "

Nagulat ako sa tanong ni Dad sakin, not just me pati na si Maine. At walang ano ano ay tumango ako kay Dad.

" Y-yes dad... "

" Do what you want then. I will no longer object on what decision you have there. "

Bumuntong hininga na lamang sya. Masaya ako na pinayagan nya kami ni Maine. Pero may something then sakin na hindi masaya. Siguro dahil di ko pa nakikita hanggang ngayon si Khera.

" I hope your happy with your choice, you can go out now. " nauna na kaming lumabas ni Maine habang nanatili sa loob si Xaviel. Sinadya ko talagang mag hintay sa kanya hanggang sa makalabas sya sa office ni Dad. At di nga nag tagal ay bumukas ang pinto. Nakita ko ang seryosong mukha ng kapatid ko. Saka ko sya pasugod na tinanong. Habang naiwang nakaupo si Maine.

" Where is she? "

I asked him, at agad akong nairita nong bigla syang nag smirk sakin.

" Why do you wanna know? You're no longer obligated to her . And may I remind you, you already have your girl, if I were you just stay focus on Riel . "

Yeah, I know that. But still, I want to know where she is. I wanna know if she's fine, if they're fine. Is it wrong for me to do that? I'm just worried for them. I don't think I can even sleep in this state. Fvck, why am I even acting like this? Di naman ako ganito ah?

" I know that , I just wanna know if they're fine. Please Viel. "

Umiling na lamang sya saka bumuntong hininga.

" Like you, nobody knows where they are. And if I may have known? I still won't tell you anything. "

Masama nya akong tinignan. Di ko sya masisisi kung ganyan ang trato nya sakin ngayon. Pero bigla bigla nya nalang along hinila gamit ang kwelyo ko palapit sa kanya. Napatayo pa nga si Maine ng dahil sa ginawa nya. Agad nya naman akong binulungan.

" I know you're stupid Xavier. You've made a wrong choice man. I already warned you from the start. I didn't think you'll do something like this. You hurt my precious dude. And I really want to punch you deadly if it's not just for Riel. I won't control myself like this. You're such a dumb*ss, you know? Just this once , let me hot you hard. "

Napangiwi ako ng bigla nya akong suntukin at deretso nag lakad paalis. Pasalamat nalang siguro ako dahil isa lang ang natanggap ko sa kanya. Agad naman akong nilapitan ni Maine.

" Oh ghad, Xav you're bleeding! "

Natatarantang wika ni Maine. Ngumisi lang ako sa kanya.

" I must be thankful I only got one. Or else I'll be laying on the hospital bed for weeks. "

" Don't joke like that, will you?! "

Pero seryoso nga ako don sa sinabi ko. Iba kasi yung kapatid ko magalit. Wala yung pakialam kung ano man ang mangyare sa kalaban nya pag galit na sya. Ganon din naman ako, pero ayaw kong mabugbog at sa kanya pa. Pero, deserve ko yung suntok na yun. At iisa lang ang nasa isip ko kahit na nakikipag biruan ako dito.

" Khera, where the hell are you? "
