Chapter 55
My forehead furrowed slightly. She let go of the hug, then shook her head.
"Who's-" I rolled my eyes around. Stop right opposite an also unexpected advance.
What-
Why?
Huh ?!
"Zi!"
This time, I didn't know if he was still smiling or worried about the way he was staring.
He was looking at me grimy, with jaw slightly clenching. In the darkness of his gaze, the word in the midst of the dangerous storm is lacking to explain the current feeling.
He was leaning against the wall. Just next to the door, so I didn"t immediately notice. Like Hans he also holds ice cream, but with a different flavor and more expensive.
Do they heal the encounter?
"Why are you here?" confused I approached him.
He was about to take the hand, but it backed away. Not even able to hide the anger.
And I must admit, he was making me feel inferior in every d ** n level! It was as if I was burned by his tense stare. Thrilling, scary.
I couldn't trace any signs of Zi. He completely turned into an untamed beast, so ready to murder his first prey.
"I thought I would wait another five months," I was afraid but still tried to approach it.
He's making me tremble. But at the same time my heart is in a huge glee, seeing him finally here. Well and alive!
"There you are in your Miklaus," he openly harvested. I was about to turn around, but I quickly grabbed the hem of the dress to stop it.
"I didn't mean to do that-"
"Tsk!"
"What's up?" Hans suddenly entered the conversation, using a startled voice.
"Because Zi ..." I scratched my neck, "I didn't like the way I hugged you."
"Hug me too. That's the art."
There was also no signal at the place he went to. Although I want to report on my relationship with Zi, it's unlikely to be done because I can't be contacted. Just now we talked again and met after almost a year.
Immediately many changes can be seen in his body. He became more muscular, had small beards growing on his face, and suddenly his skin color turned brown. But instead of reducing the nice guy add more. It made him look more manly and mature.
"I am the boyfriend, just to remind you."
"I am the a guy best friend," they stared at each other. Both sporting a sarcasm.
"So what?"
"When you break up, it's unlikely that the relationship will be restored. But when we get confused, the friendship can still be rebuilt."
As far as I understand, Hans seems to know something about my relationship with Zi. But how? Where? When?
"We will never be separated," Zi suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me dominantly. All you need to do is hide it behind to hide it completely from Hans.
"Don't talk about it Pilvera."
"Why, you plan to kidnap him? Let Auntie tame you first. "
"It's over... I'm the one he always calls."
They weren't like that before. We almost don't want to talk when we're together. The tension in between is often obvious, but not once have I seen an answer. Unlike now, they almost want to bite each other.
"Maybe after he calls me, you take care of him. Out of pity? " I could feel Zi's sarcastic smirk.
I was positioned right on the edge of it. To look back at him was a bad idea for me because I could still feel the sting of intense anger in my eyes. It seems that their current quarrel with the man in front of them has intensified.
"Is Tito too?"
"Of course... They're two."
Wait...
I'm a real child, they only greet me once a week, or go to Kiesha's condo even if it's close to home. I'm the one who goes through them to see if it's okay. Then these two, if I'm not mistaken they contact almost every day?
How did that happen? Coincidentally there is a signal every time my parents call?
Did I think mom didn"t like them? He himself said that when I once visited the house to eat because I was too lazy to cook.
It turns out that my mother is a scammer.
"I think Gee's parents have been with us twice," Hans suddenly thought in his own words.
For a moment it shook, then stared at me in disbelief.
"Oh why? Is it my fault? " my voice rose a bit. I think I will be blamed for what my parents did, "Don't just believe. Even I was fooled. And one more thing, can you stop this conflict that is obviously meaningless? You look like kids! " I tried to get out of Zi's grasp, "What happened? Why did you come home so early? "
"I think you're planning something else Geline..."
"That"s not what I meant Leander. You yourself said it would be a long time before you came back, so it was surprising to me. "
He just moaned.
"Ask your boyfriend what happened."
"I don't think any of you have a poem to answer. Don't wait for me to get wet... "I threatened them.
Yes, there was still a feeling of emptiness in Zi's deadly stare. But that will also disappear with the gradual emergence of annoyance. It's annoying to just listen to their answers while the questions flood the mind.
"We can't go back to work for a few months," Hans averted his eyes. So did Zi who was still pissed.
"Why?"
"One of them made a mistake on the mission," they would announce.
"What?"
This time, I no longer knew who to turn to. I am so confused right now!
Why were they punished at the same time? Are you together-
"Coincidentally, the two groups were merged into the same mission. My group, and Pilvera's. I have been given the right to govern us all. But there is a companion who is proud of his own stand. I'm not saying he's here and I'm just in front of you, am I? "
"Who's as crazy as to agree to the plan you have in mind?"
"Everyone agreed to it, except you."
They start quarreling again.
"Correction, my team thinks of it as fictional. Just to remind you, we are not in the teleserye that even if the hero jumps into the abyss without a rope, he will still live. "
"Water will fall..."
"At that high distance, do you think everyone can survive? I can never risk my men's life just for your unrealistic plan. "
"What was the difference between your plan then? Someone still died ah? That is why we failed because of your stubbornness. "
As they answered, I slowly retreated back inside the unit. Maybe it's better to be alone, than to face this kind of mess.
In this case, I don't want to take sides. Right or wrong the reason is they still failed the mission and are now temporarily removed from duty. Why are these two combined? There you go, both did nothing good.
Pity those affected by the contradiction of their decision.
Lesson learned; never put Pilvera and Sullivan in one mission.
Before the two of them even noticed I managed to close the door.
'It's up to you, you have to get ready before entering!'
Many more days passed with the two of me. Not once did the day try to be peaceful because almost every minute there was an answer going on. Hans rejoined the investigation. Personally started, now she wants to end for the former suitor who somehow also played a big part in life.
Even though the offering of love was ignored, he did not even once try to feel bad for his sister.
"I'll be the one to investigate Dominic's case," he suggested as he looked back at the CCTV footage shortly before the accident, in which Kiesha was even more affected.
They were actually together with the victim and suspected suspect at the time. Luckily, the truck driven by an unknown man hit right in front of Dom. But in what has happened here, it seems vague that the identity has been exposed.
It was hit by an SUV while running away from Kiesha. On the force of the impact, died directly. That thing is also a query we had to include in the investigation. It is unlikely that a vehicle will arrive immediately, unless we wait for the moment to silence not only Dom but also the driver who was definitely paid to carry out the plan.
It would have been nice if a family and relatives had appeared. But it seems that the real culprits also planned that.
They are so smart. Even I couldn't keep pace on their track.
"Kiesha is sending me to her," Zi said after hanging up the phone before holding it.
That woman also thought of leaving the Da Silvas "home. I still don"t know where his own feet took him, as it was hard to find due to the sure -fire disposal of the phone I was supposed to base on where he was located.
The last thing I saw was him and Fergus answering, until he got out of the gate and rode a tricycle. The criminal quickly got into his car to follow. After that they disappeared in line. Even if I kept on hacking through the CCTV systems of the place's households, without the exact coordinates everything would fall to nothing.
"He already has a message? I'm coming! " there was no hesitation in my response.
"It's dangerous there Gee-"
"Even here, it is still dangerous. Especially when opponents find out what we"re doing. If we are together, you can protect me better, "I begged, staring at him.
"I don't want to hurt you."
"Please?"
"It's okay with me if he's here. I will take care of- "
"I'll just take him," Zi interrupted Hans. I must have been scared of what I could do here with the man who was so busy when he replied, "We're leaving tomorrow."
"Can I come along?"
"No! Stay here..."
"I am not asking you Pilvera."
"The answer will still be no."
Here they are again...
I gasped violently. Folded, then leaned the tired body on the sofa. It would be better if these two were separated. If we stay together until Kiesha is there, I might lose my patience and become a karatist in no time.
I immediately prepared for the night. I couldn't deny how badly I missed my bestfriend. This will be a surprise for her.
'Are you done preparing the utensils?'
First message I received from Zion tonight. It's only been an hour since Hans and I went home, but I feel like I haven't seen him in two decades.
'Yup... How about you?' I smile in reply.
It was only a few seconds later that his name appeared on the screen again. This time I couldn't bear to call.
"Oh?"
"Oh?" he asked back. A bit confused.
I think the word I opened is changing. Usually, I say Love".
"Are you doing that?" I ignore.
"Wondering what that 'Oh' is for."
"Grabe ah? I didn't mean that. "
"Whatever you say Neilani," he answered hoarsely.
I suddenly imagined him lying on the floor, with only boxers and shirt on. Clinging to drowsiness. But I had to stay awake to talk.
We have always been like this. Even together all day, that doesn't seem to be enough. There must be something to talk about until bedtime.
Sometimes, we randomly talk about each other's possible future. We don"t sometimes try to open up the conversation about the consequences of the relationship. We don"t want to precede events. I don't want him to plan things for us, instead I want him to achieve his goals for himself. Throughout the process he would expect me to just support him. Even if they happen to have to take different paths, I will still give them the support they want.
"Have you seen the sky?"
"Nope. I am inside "
"Try looking at it."
"Are you outside?" I hurried out of bed and moved to the balcony of the condo.
"I see the stars from where I lie."
"Here, looking too."
"Good."
"If you are going to name one of it, what would it be and why?"
"Is this Miss Universe?" I couldn't stop laughing.
"This is a topic initiated personally by your boyfriend. You have nothing to do other than providing a definite answer. Any complaints would result to a serious consequences. Try fighting for your right and you'll see, "he was so dead serious.
Still, I couldn't find any reason to be nervous. He's originally solemn at almost everything. Nothing's new ...
"Well, truthfully I"d name it after you. Because when you look at it, the stars in the sky serve as decoration. If it dissolved, the galaxy would look lifeless. Pale, lifeless- "
"When I came, did the world live like that?" "Are you making me nervous, Geline?"
"Panira ka naman e! "
I heard him chuckled a bit.
"Is there no one else? You are hot. "
"Your thickness... Why, do you have a suitcase there?"
If he was just on the sidelines maybe, a few blows of assurance would have been received today.
"I"d name none of it. These aesthetics ain't mine to begin with. "
"Hmmm?"
"I'll just make my own universe and will name it after you."
I could sense his smile. Something that makes me grin as well.
Although not directly facing, I can already see his red cheek. Ashamed of own words. He only really does it once. He's sweet at times, but so toxic more often. If the answer is mixed with rhetoric, be more direct if you say disgust with the things I do.
But that's alright. He also used to listen to my explanations. In the event of a mistake in the comment, we will apologize immediately. If I am the one who is missing, it will explain the reason why the part should be corrected.
"It's too late?"
"Can you just be thrilled?"
We talked until midnight. What a conceivable subject. They will quarrel over each other's opinions, then they will laugh.
At exactly five o'clock in the morning we set off for San Antonio. Stop briefly at a store to buy breakfast. In the car we ate and had coffee. After that I went back to sleep because I had a headache.
Just woke up again when suddenly the phone rang. I quickly grabbed it from the dashboard. Kiesha's registered name was the first to be seen.
"Where are you going Kiesha Amira Alfano?"
I swiftly opened my laptops. I actually brought them so that up to here I could observe what the opponent and my own friend were doing.
I first tracked her location.
"I left them, I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away."
"You're worrying me, you know that?" I pretended to be a mother scolding the child for not saying goodbye to leave the house.
I next entered the system of the building where he was. She's in a hospital nearby, wearing nothing else but Kiesha Amira's designer clothes. My friend's venom has been coming back for a few weeks.
What was he thinking at the moment? He probably won't follow Dominic, will he? He's still in a coma.
"I'm sorry because."
"I can see you."
"I know."
The call eventually ended.
Its image also disappeared immediately when it entered a room. Dom's hospital room. Even this I do not forget to watch every day.
"Is he okay?" Zi asked curiously in the middle of the silence.
"Yup," from the door, my gaze shifted across Spencer's house. I just opened a laptop and it immediately popped up.
Often it is in the CCTV footage positioned in front of its residence that I first observe. Whenever I noticed no human signal in its entirety, I then opened the tracker to confirm the inference.
It's only seven in the morning, maybe it's still inside and sound asleep? What I noticed as early as when he was awake was eight or nine o'clock.
I spent a few more moments observing such a building, until I realized Spencer was not inside.
I quickly turned the tracker on. I've managed to hacked through his phone's GPS. This is also what I often look at whenever he comes out. With this, I was able to follow his every move. Not just him, but also the others.
I confirmed that he was not in his own house after the name of the place appeared on the screen. He was in a restaurant near us!
I quickly entered its system. Exactly with CCTV right in front of him, so it"s obvious what he"s currently doing.
He was sitting alone near the glass window. Looks like someone is waiting ...
My attention is too focused on it. So miss looking at Kiesha"s current situation. It was too late to warn him. From the entrance of the hospital, Fergus Da Silva walked straight to the room where his friend was just a few steps away from where he was. Before I could make a call, he already got inside the room.
I quickly covered my mouth and exaggeratedly shaken. Dead...
"Why?" worried I looked at Zi.
"I didn't notice that Fergus was also in the hospital. They are currently in Dom's room ..."
"With Kiesha?"
"Ummm," I nodded.
We were both tense while waiting for the release of one of them. I know Kiesha will move out first, I am so sure of it!
A few more seconds and my suspicion was correct. The friend's face was the first to appear. It quickly rubbed his chest and he leaned weakly against the wall.
This is my fault, I know ...
She took her phone out, so do I. I know who she will call.
When the phone rang, I didn't even bother to look at its registered name. No hesitation answered.
"Why didn't you say Fergus was coming here too?"
"Because you turned off the call right away. And then I only noticed him when he entered the entrance. He's not the one I'm currently following, Spencer."
"He saw me Gee!" she hyperventilated.
I quickly pulled the phone away from my ear. The tinis too of his voice.
I turned to Zi, she simply told me to go to the hospital to surprise my friend. Suppose maybe we pull him out.
Stir first, before laughing.
"So what Kiesha? You're not Alga now. And I'm sure he won't see the innocent Alga in you. Look at the one you used to be or, you look more like you're going to a party than visiting a dying friend. You two are way different when it comes to fashion, "my long line. I was not prevented from releasing a few cheap ones.
She's overacting again. With so many differences between him and Alga, Fergus is unlikely to recognize it. And she's wearing a huge amount of make up! Even I would be shocked if I just didn't know him completely.
"Alright," it shrugged.
"Anyway, Spencer is in a restaurant nearby. Looks like someone is waiting," I change the subject.
"East or West?"
I even entered the CCTVs in the neighboring area, to direct him in the right direction.
"East. Just go straight after crossing the pedestrian. You enter the first restaurant you see, he's in there."
When he finally got out of the entrance, we arrived exactly. I didn"t appear in sight of it first, so did Zi. We are watching her intently. Ready to respond, in case someone please rush.
Black, glowing and new Ferrari suddenly became the center of its vision. In the readable facial expression, he obviously had an idea of whose fancy car belonged.
It shook and the gaze hovered around. Someone is looking for what.
What is she trying to do?
I had to cover it up again, for sure!
His eye stopped at the oversized rock. Automatically smiled and run it went.
Oh my, Kiesha Amira Alfano. That's expensive! When he got caught, I no longer knew how to help.
Bewildered I searched for his phone number. I gotta do something to change her mind.
"What is he thinking about you Amira? I'm watching you through the CCTV."
Lie ...
'I am watching you personally!'
"That shiny thing in there was the devil's car right? Make sure to delete this footage my dear."
She hanged up. I have not yet finally heard the cry of the mind.
When the stone was finally obtained, it did not hesitate to aim for Fergus Da Silva's beautiful car.
With full force, he hit the glass of the Ferrari. It did not break immediately so it was seconded. Immediately the alarm sounded. Instead of being alert, he even made this music. It was like dancing like crazy, with the thrill of every blow.
I was just confused by the sense, as I watched him squirm. It was as if all the anger had accumulated and in the car poured out.
"Poor rock, beaten by Ferrari," Zi commented shakily.
He leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest. It"s better to say it enjoys the visual scene. It was a live action happening here!
Because of what he was doing, many people looked at Kiesha. I was just as shocked. Others would have been in a hurry, but stopped to be curious.
Finally, its smooth paint he did not miss to sign.
"Perfect!" she chirped in so much glee. "Look at the beautiful art I just made," it laughed out loud. Looks like an improved version of a witch.
Then he artistically released the stone and bravely walked away.
"Ma'am, just wait. What you did is forbidden," the security commented.
"What's wrong with it Mr. Security guard?" he acted in tears. "The owner of that car broke me big time. He got me pregnant, then ran away. I'm so mad at him!" the excitement replaced the earlier drama.
To be continued...
