Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Going back to Manila.

They already prepare everything. The items that need to be brought back to Manila. So I guess, for me, I won't bring anything back to Manila. Except for my body and soul that I have to carry.

"Are you ready?" Wrum asked me as he entered the room. I got up from my seat on the side of the bed. I am ready. I'm fully dressed.

"Yes," I answered him sparingly.

"Okay then, let's go."

Following him out of the room and went downstairs. We went straight to his car.

Wim opened the back seat door for me and I immediately went inside. Wrum sat next to me and Wim entered from the front seat. The driver was Xander.

This is what I've been waiting for. To be able to return to Manila. Xander started the car's engine. The van left earlier with Wrum's people already on board. 'Advanced Party' as Wim says.

"Silic," I heard Wim call to me. "Trust me, everything will be okay. Wrum will find a way and whatever happens, just trust him — just trust us."

As I said, I have nothing more to say about that.

"That's not what matters right now Wim," I answered him. "The important thing is that I will know if my father is still alive."

That's the most important thing that I need to do, to know what is the current situation of my father.

"We'll talk about that later, what's more, important now is that we can go back to Manila." I heard Xander said. "Here we go."

Xander started the car while I entertained myself watching from here through the glass window.

If this is the sequence that my father did, why am I even involved in this wheel? That was always the question I always asked myself in the beginning but until now I still can't answer it. How can this be answered if I haven't seen my father yet? He is the only one who can tell me the truth. Can I trust him?

He is my father and I should respect and trust him. But I just couldn't help, but worry that even my father, I couldn't trust him either. Hopefully, it won't reach that much. Damn it. I do not know what to do.

Moments later on our trip, I saw Wrum's private plane from the glass window. Because of my meditation, I am no longer aware of it. Wim and Xander came out first. Xander opened it for me while Wim opened it for Wrum then came out.

I saw Wrum's people scattered. They make sure that the area is safe and cannot be easily attacked by the enemy.

Wrum approached me slightly. "Let's go," he said seriously to me as he put his hand on my back, but I immediately removed it as well.

We started walking towards his private plane. It's late. Darkness is engulfing the sky. Only the lights around us give us light here.

Even before we could get in, we heard a car coming. A van signaled to stop Wrum from walking and turned his gaze to the van that had stopped near Wrum's car.

"F*ck this idiot." I heard Wrum mutter from behind me. "Who told him that we are now going back to Manila?" Wrum asked Wim and Xander angrily.

"I didn't tell him. You already told me not to tell him." Wim replied and turned to Xander. "Don't tell me you're the one who said this, Xander?"

"What ... He just asked me and I'll probably answer," said Xander and Wrum, and Wim's faces got even angrier. "Sorry."

"F*ck!" Wrum said.

"Damn you!" Wim said.

Who is in this van? Maybe it's not Don Guillermo, is it?

One of his personnel has already opened the van. I saw some men come out and next to come out was Don Guillermo. I am not mistaken in my suspicion. Is he going with us?

"Why he's here with us?" I asked Wrum.

"I don't know, either. I didn't invite him to be with us," he answered me. "Because of the stupidity of Xander, that's why he is here." I nodded at what he told me.

Don Guillermo came slightly closer from where we were standing. He immediately smiled at me, so I just avoided looking at him. We're not even close.

"I heard you're going back to Manila son," introduction by Don Guillermo to Wrum. "And I also want to go back to Manila. That's why I am here."

"I don't want you to come with us. You have your private plane." and Wrum said.

"Yeah, I know. But I want to come with you." said Don Guillermo. " I'm already here."

"Damn."

I remember what Wrum told me. My father is in the hands of Don Guillermo.

"Where's my father?" I could no longer restrain myself from speaking. "I know my father is in your hands. Tell me where my father Don Guillermo is and what you did to him?"

Don Guillermo just smiled at my question to him.

Not because I asked him where my father was, I believed and trusted Wrum immediately. I just want to ask Don Guillermo again. I know I asked him about it.

"Your father is not with me and I did nothing to your father. But I know where he is." smiling, he said to me. "Do you know where your father is?" he asked me and he just turned his gaze to Wrum.

I am hoping that my father was with Wrum, does he? I was so nervous and I just turned my gaze to Wrum.

He also turned his gaze to me and stares. It was as if he was talking to me from his gaze. Moments later he suddenly grabbed my arm. He suddenly dragged me into the private plane.

I wanted to say something more to Don Guillermo and I would ask him but Wrum and I entered here in his private plane. He can tell me to come in here. He didn't just drag me without me knowing the reason.

I'm not doing anything wrong. I just asked Don Guillermo about what he told me. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

"What's up? Why are you dragging me again for no reason?" I asked him.

He faced me. He hasn't answered me yet. He just made me sit in the chair.

"Listen to me," he told me seriously. Do I look like I’m not listening to him? I already have a big ear.

"I'm listening idiot," I said.

"Fine. Just don't listen to that idiot again and don't ask him about your father."

"Why? Are you afraid?" I asked him and it just stopped.

"I'm not. I just don't want you to believe in his lies," he says.
