VANCE.
THE MOMENT when my late mother gave birth to me. The moment when I get able to understand how life works. There's one thing in my life that I had, which I am beyond grateful for. She poured the love that every child could ever ask in this world.
When I was in grade school, she had taken me to school and even if she's bombarded with her work, she never forget to fetch me back then.
I still remember how much she cared for her son before. She've had woken up early in the morning, to prepare my lunch for school. Kahit kailangan, hindi ako nakatanggap ng sermon o paninigaw mula sa kanya kahit na napakapasaway kong bata.
I had the best and loving mother in my life, but I never experienced the feeling of having a complete family.
The only thing in my mind now, is a big question for the person beside me. Did she kill her own family?
My eyes can't help but squint as I pierced my gaze at Colt. I shook my head and diverted my attention at the view outside.
The woman beside me didn't utter any words after her confession. Nilalamon na siguro ng konsensya niya. Hindi naman nagkomento pa si Jade sa narinig niya.
Lumipas pa ang ilang minuto at nakita kong tumayo si Ryde mula sa inuupuan niya.
He stood up front and took something from the back pack he's carrying.
"We are already here," he said and wore a crossed-strap to his chest. A small yellow pouch was attached to the strap, and it was placed on Ryder's back now.
Nagsitayuan na rin ang kambal saka ginawa ang ginawa ni Ryde.
Pinagmasdan ko lang ang ginagawa nila at hindi ako kumilos. Gano'n rin si Colt sa tabing upuan ko.
"Tatalon tayo, Vance," saad ni Jake nang mapansin ang pagkunot ng noo ko habang tahimik silang pinapanood.
T-tatalon?!
"Hindi ko alam, pero itong misyon na 'to, gusto akong patayin!" bulalas ko at napahilamos sa mukha gamit ang dalawa kong palad.
Tapos nang isuot ni Ryde ang suit na kailangan para ligtas na makakababa sa isla.
Lumapit siya sa gawi ko. "You won't die, Vance. We'll use this." ipinakita niya sa 'kin ang parachute na suot niya.
Napabuntong hininga ako sa nalaman. Sinimulan ko nang kunin ang gamit ko at habang sinusuot ko ang parachute, pinaliwag ni Ryde sa 'min ang dahilan kung bakit namin 'to gagawin.
Mas mapapadali sana kami kung lalapag ang chopper sa helipad.
"We are trespassing the Dezvouz Island." he tightened the support belt on his waist. "Apparently, we can't present legible documents for a plane flight as civilians." he turned his gaze at us, "Because we're criminals."
Napatango ako sa sinabi niya.
Nang makita ni Ryde na naisuot ko na nang maayos ang straps at mahigpit na rin ang support belt sa baywang ko. Pinakita niya sa 'kin kung paano paganahin.
