Alyza Eunice POV
“How are you? Are you now fine?” bumungad agad sa 'kin ang nag aalalang mukha ni Laxus pagkadilat ko ng mata.
Kumunot ang noo ko. Ngek? Anong nakain nito at biglang nag alala?
Dahan dahan akong umupo at niyakap ang sarili kong mga tuhod.
“Okay na 'ko, thank you,” I smiled broadly and he smiled back.
Tumitig ako sa mga mata niya. Kahit mayabang ay may bait rin naman pala. I appreciated his concern.
“Gutom ka na ba? What do you want to eat?” kasabay ng pagtayo niya ay napansin ko ang punit niyang damit na may dugo.
Bigla tuloy akong napahiya, naduguan ko na naman ang damit niya.
“Gusto ko ng umalis rito, tsaka busog pa 'ko. Anong oras na nga pala, Demon?” agad na nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa sinabi ko. Maski ako ay nagulat rin sa lumabas sa bibig ko.
“What the fuck, idiot? My second name's Devon not Demon, is it that the effect of bullet in you? Forgetting the most handsome's name? Oh fuck!” he exclaimed with the matter-of-fact tone.
Well it is true. He's handsome and I admit that.
“I'm asking, what time it is?” tumayo ako at dahan dahang tinanggal ang dextrose na nakakabit sa kamay ko.
Maayos na ang lagay ko, medyo kumikirot na nga lang ito.
I took a glance at Laxus, he's eyes fixated on his wrist watch. “Six forty-seven in the evening,” he sighed. My eyes widened.
Akalain mong ang tagal ko palang nakahiga rito?
“What was the fuck are you doing, idiot?” he frantically walked near me, pero huli na siya natanggal ko na ang aparatong 'yon.
“Let's go?” wala sa sariling hinawakan ko ang kamay niya palabas. He just stare at our hands and blink a multiple times.
“Are you sure that you're indeed fine?” his voice are assuring, napatigil ako sa paglalakad at tumingin sa kaniya
“I'm hundred percent fine, Laxus,” saad ko at maingat na iginalaw galaw ang kaliwang balikat kong may benda.
“Pfft idiot,” he pinched my cheeks saka kami sabay na lumabas ng hospital na walang sabi sabi.
“Sino pala 'yung humahabol sa 'tin?” I said after closing the door of his car.
He start the engine first and drive.
“It's none of your business, idiot,” it took a seconds before he respond, napataas ang kaliwang kilay ko.
“Anong it's none of my business ka diyan? Ako 'yung nabaril! Kaya it is part of my business also!” naiiritang sigaw ko na inilingan lang niya.
Ilang sandali rin kaming binalot ng katahimikan, nagsalita na 'ko bago pa 'ko mabingi.
“Accident lang ba 'yung nangyari? O baka naman kilala mo sila?” those words escaped from my lips.
Napatigil siya saka saglit na sumulyap sa 'kin.
“They are underlings of Kenriki Townsend-- who killed my parents,” seryosong saad niya.
“Now I know and they're keep chasing you para patayin, am I right? But why? Anong mapapala nila 'pag nagawa nila 'yon?” kunot noo kong tanong, hindi pa rin inaalis ang paningin sa kaniya.
“Our company,” he sighed deeply. “Kenriki Townsend want to get our company and I won't let that happen, until I'm still breathing he can't procurable it,” he said in emphasis way.
“Bakit hindi mo na lang ipaubaya sa mga pulis? Why don't you try to report him and let the cops bring him to the jail?” I bite my lower lip. I don't know why I'm telling this.
“Do you think I'm 'that' kind of person? Complaining to the cops, seriously?” napatawa siya ng mahina. “Hindi sapat ang makulong lang, buhay ang kinuha niya kaya buhay rin ang kabayaran,” he clenched his fists as his teeth gritted.
Magtatanong pa sana ako pero baka mamaya masuntok na 'ko nito, kaya mabuting wag na lang.
Kagaya ng pagsundo niya ay inihatid rin niya ako pabalik. Dumiretso na kaagad ako sa room at nagpahinga na. This must be the exhaustive day I ever had.

“Seven days to go before the party began,” Guitterez said while cleaning his Assault M16 Riffles.
Yeah, seven days and for sure Kenriki Townsend also there.
“Nakarating naba sa'yo?” I was about to hit the target using my shotgun when suddenly Guitterez asked.
“What is it?” I asked, my brows arched.
“'Yung secretary mo nabahag ata ang buntot. Hayun, umalis na, natakot dahil baka madamay rin siya sa gulo mo,”
I shrugged my shoulders. She's not my absence so why would I worry? Tss.
I put the bullets inside the magazine of my shotgun and point it to the target.
*BANGG!*
“Bullseye!” I whisper, smirking.
“Nice bro! Tyamba, tyamba! Hahahaha!” he laughed at loud.
“Shut the fuck up Leopard Guitterez!” I point the gun in his head.
“Calm down, bro!” he raised his two hands as a sign of surrender. I look at him with my flaming eyes. “Waaah! Easy!” he said then ran away from me.
Para talagang bakla 'tong gagong 'to!
Nakailang putok pa 'ko sa target bago ko napagpasiyahang umuwi.
Dumiretso agad ako sa bar island ng kusina.
I need to practice more, more and more. Hindi sapat ang kakayahan ko ngayon, kailangang mas gumaling pa 'ko.
*BKSZZZ BKSZZZZ*
I took out of my phone when I feel it vibrating.
‘Did you like my gift? Oh you're welcome, Mr. Delfuego!’ Townsend message burst upon me.
“You really a piece of shit, Townsend,” I clenched my fists and sip my beer.
