Chapter 46: Chapter 46
39.1
In a few minutes from now, we're now back. Manila is already waving at us.
Wrum was sitting next to me. As usual, he sits next to me. While Don Guillermo is sitting at the back of us. I could hear them talking to Wim from my seat. I heard them talk about why Don Guillermo had come. His private plane is under maintenance and he will not be forced to fly to it. It might cause trouble in the air.
Wrum's is still silent beside me. I was just wondering what happened to him. It would be better if he was like that. Rather than repeat the phenomenon that happened to us.
I just closed my eyes. Drowsiness is also visiting me. I knew we were close to Manila, but I really couldn't help but close my eyes. Until I realized that I had fallen asleep.
****
"We're here in Manila." even before I fully opened my eyes, I heard something whisper in my ear. I knew it was Wrum's voice so I woke up quickly.
I felt my headrest on his shoulder. So I just sat properly in my seat. I didn't realize that I was leaning on him. Damn.
I adjusted myself and turned my gaze around. I never saw Wim, Xander, and Don Guillermo again. Maybe they're out and maybe, we're just the two of us staying here.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize we had arrived." I just told him.
"Let's go out. They are all waiting for us," he said and I just nodded at what he said.
He stood up to me first. I followed him and came out. I saw cars coming to meet us and Don Guillermo, Wim, and Xander were already standing there. They immediately turned to look at us and approached them slightly.
"Go now inside the van," Wrum commands me. "The black van," he added.
"Wait Silic." I heard Don Guillermo stopped me. "Before you're going inside the van, this is all I'll tell you. As I promised, we're already here in Manila. You'll know where your father is. As soon as possible." he said to me. "And I know the anger you feel for me right now will go away when you find out the truth."
If something happened to my father, the fat on his stomach would disappear. When something happens to my father, then, they will taste an act of revenge from an oppressed person.
"I said to go inside the van! Don't listen to his words full of lies." Wrum stammered angrily at me.
"Lies? That is not a lie," said Don Guillermo and turned to me. "Listen to me than to him. You gave him your full trust and you don't even know the truth."
"Stupid!"
"You are stupid!"
Are they already screaming because of me? It's not a love affair. My God.
"Don't listen to the two evil." smiling Wim, said to me. "It's better if you don't listen to them."
"Yeah." Xander agreed and they opened the van for me.
I got in the van. They sat down nicely inside and after a while, they closed the van. They still stay outside. I couldn't even hear what they were talking about but I could see the father and son shouting.
Don Guillermo creeps me. It was as if he was giving me an idea about Wrum. I didn't know where to believe. I also don't want to cry. I am still thinking positively about my father's situation.
I don't want to cry when I'm not sure what I know.
I kept watching them and for a while, I saw Wrum and Don Guillermo pull out a gun at the same time, they pointed it at each other. I saw the same thing with Xander and Wim and then with the other Wrum's people who also pointed their guns at Don Guillermo's people.
I was suddenly confused. What are they doing? Did I think they were all on the same side here and I was their only enemy? I am their only captive. I don’t know why they do it. Instead of making me drowsy, it disappeared because of them.
I was suddenly nervous. Damn it. What will I do? Will I go out and stop them? Am I the one they are fighting over? It’s not about being ambitious, but I just can’t help, but ask myself.
I can't just sit here and watch them shoot there. I'm also afraid to go out, maybe when I go out, they'll shoot me. My God. I could do nothing and I could no longer control myself.
I opened the door of the van then got out. "What is this?" I questioned them. "Why are you fighting?"
They turned to me because I asked them. I am just hoping that they don’t fight for whatever reason it is.
"Go back to the Silic van. You shouldn't have come out." Wim said to me.
"Put all your guns. You shouldn't be fighting." I told them. "Okay then, if you don't stop, just right there. You'd better get rid of the demon in the world."
"F*ck!" I heard Wrum mutter and he immediately lowered his gun. Don Guillermo's gun, aimed at Wrum as well as their men, was also lowered.
Oh, why did they lower their guns?
Don Guillermo laughed at what I said. "You're too wild, Silic." he said "I like that woman."
"But she doesn't like it." instead of me answering, Wrum answered it for me. "She's not willing to be with you. She wants to be with me, not you," said Wrum and he shoved his gun into him.
I never told him that I liked him better than Don Guillermo. My God. He's making a story. Bur damn it. I feel butterflies in my stomach when he said it. Even if it's not thrilling. Cringe.
Wrum walked over to my stand. It has a serious face. Damn that kind of stare. Just like he is already killing me in his stares.
I blinked a few times when I saw that it had stopped in front of me. It stays staring at me.
I blinked and I was almost true to my position.
"I told you not to go out," he whispered to me. I know he hates me. Even though I didn't do anything wrong. "Go inside the Van .... now!"
My eardrum was almost shattered by his scream at me. I did nothing and immediately got into the van. Everything surrounds me getting worse. How can I sleep in a situation like this? So messy.
I can't even understand what is happening right now and I don't know what might happen next.
