Bexan's POV

"I was raped." I frozed the moment I heard those words. I didn't know how to react but out of instinct, I hugged her. Wala akong sinabi at gano'n din siya. Nagyakapan na lang kami. I felt sorry for Lilith. I didn't know what to say! Ano sasabihin ko? Sino gumawa sa'yo niyan? Paano nangyari? Hindi naman basta-bastang magsasabi sa'kin si Lilith ng info, lalo na't ang sensitive ng topic.

"I-I'm sorry," sambit ko. Nagtataka ako kung bakit 'di nagsasalita si Lilith. Nararamdaman ko pa rin 'yung mukha niya sa dibdib ko dahil sa pagyakap ko. 

"Lilith?" Tiningnan ko 'yung mukha niya. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil nakatulog si Lilith. Ramdam ko tuloy 'yung bigat niya. So gano'n? Ginawa niya akong poste? Galing!

"Dont worry, I got you," ani ko sa kanya habang natutulog. Binuhat ko siya papuntang kuwarto ko at pinatulog siya do'n sa kama ko. Tinitigan ko lang si Lilith na natutulog. That kinda explains the shit she did with Eduardo and Rajesh. 

Fine, I admit. I care about Lilith even though she's such an asshole. I felt happy that she finds me fun to be with but in fact I'm a really boring person. I'm happy because she hangs out with me because no one really does that. I really appreciate Lilith's presence. Kanina nalungkot ako dahil sa sinabi niya at the same time, nagulat din ako. Nagagalit ako para kay Lilith, lalo na sa mga nanggago sa kanya.

"I always got you, I promise," ani ko sa kanya kahit na tulog siya. Kinuha ko 'yung cellphone ko at tumingin ng memes. Mahilig kasi ako sa mga shit posts and wholesome memes. Matapos ng ilang minuto ay 'di ko namalayan, kaka-scroll ko ng memes ay nakatulog na pala ako. Nagising lang ako nang nakarinig lang ako ng pagbasag. Agad kong binaling ang tingin ko sa tabi ko. Teka, sa'n na si Lilith? Agad akong bumangon para hanapin si Lilith, pero wala naman siya sa kuwarto ko. Nakita kong nasa sala si Lilith na nakatingin sa nabasag kong litrato noong bata-bata pa ako.

"Lilith?" ani ko kaya agad siyang lumingon.

"N-Nag-sleepwalking ata ako." Kumurap-kurap si Lilith bago ako tingnan ng diretso. Sleepwalking? Si Lilith?

"N-Nabasag ko pala 'yung picture frame mo. Pasensya na. Bilhan na lang kita ng bago." Sinubukan niyang linisin 'yung nakakalat na bubog sa sahig pero pinigilan ko siya.

"Just leave it be. Are you okay?" pag-aalala kong tanong. Baka nga kasi may nasabi akong mali kanina sa kanya.

"H-Huh? Ahh! Ay oo! Ayos lang ako! Tsaka gabi na, uwi na ako, ah!" Kumunot 'yung noo ko dahil nga parang nakakaiba 'yung kinikilos ni Lilith. 'Di ko na lang binanggit 'yung sinabi niya kanina dahil baka mabulabog ko siya. Bigla na lang siyang nag-walk out. 'Di ko man lang nasabi na ihahatid ko na siya. Hindi ko alam, pero pagkatapos no'n ay sinundan ko si Lilith. Kinuha ko 'yung kotse ko at sinundan si Lilith. I just knew that something's not right.

"The fuck are you doing? 'Di naman 'yan yung daan papuntang Onic." Mahina kong bulong dahil papunta siya sa isang park. Nagtago ako sa isang side walk para 'di niya ako makita. Dala-dala niya 'yung Johnny Walker na natira namin kanina. Binantayan kong maigi 'yung ginagawa ni Lilith. Walang katao-tao sa park at inupuan niya 'yung swing ng mga bata at natulala. The fuck, anong ginagawa nito? Tinawagan ko si Lilith gamit ang cellphone ko. Tiningnan niya lang ito sabay mute. 

Problema no'n?

Huminga ng malalim si Lilith at ipinikit ang kanyang mga mata sabay sandal sa swing. Para siyang may iniisip na malalim. Ibang-iba sa Lilith na nakikita ko araw-araw. Si Lilith kasi mukhang gago pero itong nakikita ko ngayon, seryoso, eh. Iminulat niya 'yung mga mata niya at natulala na lang ulit. Bale 30 minutes akong nagbabantay sa kanya na nakatulala. Biglang may lumapit na lalaking mukhang matandang manyakis kay Lilith.

"Oh, shit." Hahawakan niya sana si Lilith pero binigyan ni Lilith ng elbow strike 'yung manyakis kaya dumugo ang pisngi nito. Tumawa-tawa 'yung manyakis at akmang susugurin si Lilith pero napigilan 'yon ni Lilith at binali 'yung buto ng manyakis at sinipa ito kaya natumba ang manyakis.

So.. do I help or what? 

"Wala ako sa mood ngayon, ah. 'Wag mo 'kong itsorbohin." Binugbog ni Lilith 'yung mukha ng lalaki kaya napuno ito ng dugo.

"Gross," mahina kong bulong. May nakita akong papalapit na mga lalaki kay Lilith. Shit, may mga kasama pala 'tong manyakis na 'to. Kinuha ko 'yung baril ko sa glove compartment ng kotse ko at lumabas. 

"Yo! Get the fuck out of here!" Pinaputok ko 'yung baril kaya nagtakbuhan sila palayo. Tch, assholes.

"Bexan? Ginagawa mo dito?" gulat niyang tanong.

"Hindi ba dapat ako magtatanong niyan? Gabing-gabi na tapos 'di ka pa nauwi." 'Di nga talaga ako mapakali dahil nga sa sinabi niya.

"Crush mo ko, 'no? Kaya mo 'ko sinusundan?" nakangiting biro ni Lilith kaya napasimangot ako. Akala ko na kung ano na 'yung iniisip niya, puro kagaguhan lang talaga.

"Can I just.. take you home?"

"Yiee! Crush mo 'ko! Sorry, friends lang talaga tingin ko sa'yo." 

"Lilith." Tumawa siya ng mahina.

"Joke lang! 'To naman, 'di mabiro, eh!"

"Are you really okay?" 'Di talaga ako mapakali. Bakit gano'n? Naninikip talaga dibdib ko dahil sa sinabi niya kanina. Kinurot ako sa pisngi ni Lilith.

"Aray—"

"Ang cute-cute mo talaga! Okay nga lang ako! Ang kulit!" May nakakaiba akong naramdaman dahil sa mga salitang 'yon. I opened my arms signaling for a hug.

"Ano 'yan?" kunot-noong tanong ni Lilith.

"Hug."

"Yuck!" Napasimangot ako dahil sa sinabi ni Lilith, gago talaga. Tatalikod na sana ako papunta sa kotse pero may naramdaman akong mahigpit na yakap mula sa likod ko. Napangiti ako ng mahina dahil sa ginawa ni Lilith. People think she's a demon, but I think she's another pretty soul.

"Thank you." Lumingon ako sa kanya at yinakap siya ulit. I just wish that I could help her in some way even though I don't know the exact details of what really happened. 

"Teddy bear, omg!" Pfft—how cute. Wait, am I seriously blushing? 

But I wonder.. what the hell is going on with Lilith?

~•~

Nakalipas na ng ilang araw mula nung nag-inuman kami ni Lilith. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko matanggal sa isip ko 'yung sinabi niya. Tiningnan ko lang si Lilith na natutulog sa sofa. I really can't imagine what happened to her. I'm glad na kahit lalaki ako ay kumportable pa rin siya sa'kin. Biglang may kumatok mula sa labas ng office namin ni Lilith, si Jollibee.

"Good morning, Jolli—" Sinamaan ako ng tingin ng sekretarya ni Lilith.

"Juvilee," tapos nginitian niya ako. Nahahawa ba naman ako kay Lilith na Jollibee ang tawag sa kanya.

"Sir, the inmate is awake." Tinanguan ko si Jolli—I mean Juvilee, at linapitan ko si Lilith para gisingin. We need to start the interrogation as soon as possible.

"Lilith." Tatapikin ko sana siya siya pero marahas niya akong pinigilan gamit ang isang kamay niya at agad-agad minulat ang kanyang mga mata.

"H'wag!" Pinandilatan niya ako ng mata. Bakit bayolente 'yung reaksyon niya? Kumunot 'yung noo ko dahil sa ginawa ni Lilith.

"L-Lilith?" Nakahinga siya ng maluwang matapos niya ako titigan ng ilang segundo. Bakit ganyan itsura niya? Binitawan niya ako ako mula sa pagkahawak niya.

"Ah, ano nga ulit 'yon?" tanong ni Lilith sabay kinusot-kusot ang mga mata niya at humikab. There's something wrong.. I can feel it.

"Lilith, what's wrong?" kunot-noo kong tanong. 

"Anong what's wrong-what's wrong? Nauulol ka ba, Bexan?" Parang binabalik niya lang sa'kin 'yung tanong ko. I don't think I have the guts to ask Lilith what actually happened. Fuck..

"E-Eduardo's awake," palit ko ng usapan kaya agad siyang tumayo.

"Ahh, gano'n ba? Ako na lang sa control room, tapos ikaw na lang sa interrogation. Baka matakot si Eduardo sa'kin, eh." Tinapik ako ni Lilith sabay umalis ng opisina namin. Sumunod naman sa kanya si Jolli—este! Juvilee pala. Naiwan tuloy akong nakatulala sa sofa.

She's so close, yet I feel a boundary.

Sumunod ako kay Lilith. Dumiretso sa control room at ako naman sa interrogation room. Nando'n si Eduardo na nakaupo sa isang upuan at nakaposas. Umupo ako sa harap niya at tiningnan si Eduardo na nakayuko pa rin sa'kin. Tinignan ko 'yung mukha niya na punong-puno ng galos. Mukhang maayos na 'yung ilong niya at hindi na deformed tulad noon. Onti-onti niya inangat 'yung mukha niya sa'kin.

"M-Mr. André?" Umiling ako at ngumiti.

"You got that wrong. I'm Bexan Ivanov, a newbie agent from the unheard Onic Agency. Nice to meet you," ani ko, kaya kumunot ang noo niya.

"T-The police?"

"No.. as I've said, I'm an agent. We're far from government premises, and also more efficient workers from the National Police Department," I said proudly. Mukhang nagulat din si Eduardo sa sinabi ko.

"So tell me about the Camorra group, Eduardo." Napalunok ng laway si Eduardo.

"I can't feel my dick." I silently scoffed. Well that's normal, because he got shot in the dick.

"We'll have our medical team assist your 'dick' sir. You'll heal in no time."

"Ohh, so where's your wife? We almost fucked, didn't we?" No wonder Lilith almost killed him to death, they almost fucked? I felt slightly bothered when he called Lilith 'my wife'.

"Natalia sir, is also an agent. She's my job-partner named Lilith, not my wife," sagot ko.

"Ohh, I see," lutang niyang sagot. I guess the truth serum's really effective on this guy.

"I'll get straight to the point. I need answers, Eduardo," diretso kong sabi.

"Alright.." ani niya. Buti na lang madali lang siyang kausap at rumeresponde agad sa mga tanong ko.

"I'm part of the Camorra group, but only as their lap dog. I only do what they asked me to. My boss is Lucas Artina, and I haven't personally met the other big bosses yet," ani niya, wala ng iba.

"Where are you going to smuggle your goods here in the Philippines?"

"In the main branch."

"Where is this 'main branch' you speak of?" tanong ko.

"It's in an abandoned building close to Las Navas Old Public Market," sagot niya.

"What transactions have you made with this 'Lucas Artina' you speak of?" dagdag tanong ko kay Eduardo.

"I'm indebted to him, I was about to pay him the 30 Million dollars I owe, but Stella spent all of it for useless luxury. He was going to use it to smuggle all the prostitutes here in the Philippines. It's a good thing you guys showed up, or else I would've died. Sadly, I lost a dick along the way." Tumawa ng mahina si Eduardo. He had the nerve to laugh in such a pathetic situation? What a weird old man. Alright, mukhang sapat na 'yung nalaman namin 'yung location ng main branch nila.

"Do you know 'Lucas Artina's' whereabouts?" tanong ko.

"He migrates to different places from time to time. Last time, he was staying in Paris, France. He must've migrated again, but I have no clue on where he is now." Tumango ako sa sinabi ni Eduardo.

"I see," I silently answered.

"Oh right, I recommend you bring a lot of people with you. He has lots of bodyguards with him at all times, so it would be pretty difficult to approach him." I think I should request a crew for our case. Things will get pretty bloody along the way, and I have a feeling that people around the area will get heavily affected. I'll have some people to scout the area 'til we come prepared.

"Alright Eduardo, I'll come to you when I need more information. Everything is enough. We'll do our best to give you our best 'healing service'. Thank you very much," ani ko at aalis sana pero pinigilan ako ni Eduardo.

"Mr. Ivanov, Lucas Artina and the Camorra group is not something to take lightly. I suggest you—" Linapitan ko si Eduardo at ngumisi.

"I am fully aware of that, but let me tell you this.. Onic is also something not to take lightly. I can assure you that your group will reach it's fall in no time. Now.. have a wonderful after noon, Mr. Cordova," ani ko sabay alis ng hindi linilingon si Eduardo. Pinuntahan ko si Lilith papuntang control room. Nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa upuan.

"Lilith, give me the best agents here in Onic. We'll be needing a military squad."

    When I come out of the house and enter the car, Mr Joe - my dad's personal driver greets me enthusiastically." Good morning Miss Williams! How are you?"" Good morning Mr Joe" I say, deliberately refusing to answer his question." Did you know that elephants are one of the most -"" -I'm really sorry Mr Joe but I'm not interested in fun facts today" I say politely. The man had been my dad's driver for twenty years and so I couldn't for any reason be mean to him. Plus I actually like him." What's wrong Miss Williams?" He asks, starting the car before he drives when the gates to our mansion of a house opens.I sigh deeply and say " no Mr Joe, everything is okay". He just nods while I take out my headphones from my bagpack and play the song " ocean eyes" by Billie Eilish. That song meant a lot to me, it reminds me of the day I first met him - Rex Cooper.

    Little Cookie was in her early teenage days, was merely 15, when Arthur first joined the club as a Bartender three years ago. Her first impression was that of a little braided skinny girl who sat at the corner and was sucking on her lollipop while few women beside her were smoking causing her to cough randomly. Even though she was not comfortable there, her body frame was just too weak to dwell amidst chainsmokers, yet she sat there obediently as if she was a kid left in kindergarten.She, who was so thin and weak that day, looked like a 10 year old to him; what work did a little girl have in bar, she seemed to be alone too! Concerned Arthur asked around and came to some really stupendous realisation.The girl who was all aloof and clashing to the atmosphere of the club was said to be sold to Seductress a week ago. Rumours had it that she was not a native European but a girl who was exported from South Asia. No wonder she looked darker than the othe
