Ruby Red Stone

"Hello good morning mga momshies."

Maarteng sabi ko saka nakipag beso kay Aunt Lilia at ang kapatid nitong si ninang lucy."

"I still can't belueve you had an alliance with that good for nothing organization! Without even consulting me?! Don't talk to me."

Irap ni aunt lilia, napangisi akong sinundot ito sakanyang tagiliran.

"Aysus si tita tamporurot."

Tawa ko, inirapan lamang ako nito. Aunt lucy on the other hand is silently watching tv, nakaupo ito sa wheeled chair at hirap parin sa pagsasalita. After being in a coma for 15 long years ay nagising ito limang taon na ang nakararaan, at hanggang ngayon ay hirap paring magsalita, slowly she's having a progress but seeing her like this is breaking my heart.

I know how much aunt lilia loves her sister at di man niya ipahalata ay nasasaktan ito ng sobra na makitang ganito ang kalagayan ng kapatid.

"Don't worry about it auntie, I made an alliance with Lucifer, not the former king okay? saka we need more man power for my plan, wag kang masyadong bitter tignan mo oh kumukulubot na muka mo."

Iling iling na sabi ko, napangiwi itong inirapan ako.

"Shut up Ruby palibhasa alam mong di kita kayang tiisin kaya kumikilos ka nalang bigla bigla! fine we'll have an alliance then but don't ever tell that man about my sister, And I maybe old but still looking beautiful, may manliligaw nga akong nasa mid 20's eh gosh nakakastress pag maganda ka."

Sambit nito sabay hilot sakanyang sintido, napangisi nalang din ako, Aunt Lilia is already on her mid 40's but her face and body looks 15 years younger than her real age, hindi mo aakalaing gurang na ito.

She never married anybody dahil sa dami ng priorities nito, at sa sobrang taas ng kanyang standards, nakuntento ito sa mga flings, she even told me na di pa niya nasusuko ang bataan, feeling ko nga magsasara na ito ano mang oras kung hindi niya bibilisan. She maybe 45 pero madami paring lalaking nakapila sakanya, But I'm still thankful though, Mula pa noong mga bata kami ay madalas kami nitong bantayan kapag wala ang mga magulang namin, she's a great mother figure to us.

"Anyways agent Blue reported to me..." She cleared her throat and then again talked. "Last time at ngayon ko lang naalalang sabihin sayo."

Sumeryoso ang muka nitong hinarap ako, I rolled my eyes upon hearing Wade's name. Ang daming sideline ng lalaking yun ah.

"What did he told you this time?"

Kunot noong tanong ko, Nagtaas ito saakin ng isang kilay.

"Kayo na?"

Tanong nitong nagpangiti saakin.

"If you trust Wade's chismoso skills auntie, malamang oo."

I said then shrugged, Auntie Lilia sighed

"Look, it's not that you're not allowed or something but are you sure about this? I'm not concerned about you, kasi wala naman akong pake sayo, I'm more concerned to your boyfriend, kawawa naman "

Iling iling na komento nitong nagpanguso saakin.

"Kung tutuusin jackpot na sya sakin auntie, saka ayaw mo yun? di ako matutulad sayong may sapot na ang kepyas."

Tawa ko, Aunt Lilia glared at my direction.

"Well hindi na ngayon."

Ngisi niya, namilog ang mata kong kunot nitong binalingan ito ng malisyosong tingin.

"Did something hapoened while I'm busy?"

I asked, she smiled at me sweetly.

"uhh it's sort of---an accident?"

Sambit niyang nagpalukot sa muka ko.

"Ay kabog! ano yon auntie di mo tinitignan dinaraanan mo kaya aksidente kang nabundol ng titi?! Mabuti nabundol ka kahit papasara na ata at malapit na mapanis yang tahong mo."

Pang aasar kong nagpasimangot rito.

"Oh shut up Ruby."

Iritang sabi niya.

"Do you know the man?"

I asked, natigilan ito sandali saka marahang tumango.  Naningkit ang mata ko roon.

"Now I'm curious... Sino ito auntie? What is his name? age? may trabaho? did he said he likes you?"

Kunot noong tanong ko, Nakagat nito ang kanyang pang ibabang labi.

"Hindi kita titigilan bahala ka dyan."

Patuloy na pangungumbinsi ko, marahas lamang siyang napabuga ng hangin.

"Well uhm.. hindi naman nagkakalayo edad namin. It's a 15 year gap lang naman."

Sambit niya sa maliit na boses na bahagyang nagpalalim ng gitla ng noo ko.

"15 what? So he's already 60?"

I asked, Aunt lilia shooked her head on me.

"No uhmm... he's... he's just 30."

She confessed as she laughed awkwardly, I gave her a blank expression.

"Sure ka wala kang pinainom sakaniya?"

Walang prenong sambit ko, her eyes widened.

"No! ofcourse not!"

She said defensively, I gave her a malicious stare.

"Hindi ako ganun ka sexually frustrated ruby, kasi kung oo, matagal ko ng isinuko itong bandera ko. Sinubukan kong umiwas, now he just won't stop bothering me.

She said then sughed harshly.

"Halos kaedad ko lang kung sino man yang tinutukoy mo auntie! who knows? baka kampon yan ng isa sa mga kalaban ng organization."

Salubong ang kilay na sambit ko, Aunt lilia sighed.

"Teka nga! Sa pagkaka alala ko ikaw ang topic kanina ha? Why are you talking about my life so  suddenly?"

Pagtataray nitong nagpailing nalamang saakin, I'm still kinda shocked sa binalita nito, gosh sa tinagal tagal ng panahon ngayon lang niya naisipang lumandi, baka nga malapit na to mag menopause dahil ang sungit sungit akala mo kung sinong maganda, natawa nalamang ako sa naiisip.

I spent the whole day on her house, umalis siya matapos iyon kaya ako ang naatasang mag alaga kay tita Lucy, gabi na nang makarating ito. The next morning, me together with Lucien, Chase and Rhia, We went on a town in pangasinan. Sa bahay ng magulang ni Rhia kami tumuloy, were actually not here for a vacation. It's a mission, funny, Scarlet and Hades doesn't have any idea whom they are with right now, ang alam lang nila ay dalawa lang ang may alam sa misyon. On Scarlet's point of view Only me and her knows about this, same with Chase but vise versa.

About celestine, she's assigned on a special mission, since I will need her expertise on this, she's with agent Thanatos, I personally believe that they will make a great team since their expertise are opposite they can support each other just fine.

About the alliance, Wala namang naging problema sa mga agents ng dalawang organizations, they understand that we need the help of each other in order to terminate the enemy.

Good thing hindi ginagalaw ng illegal organization na iyon ang mga kakambal ko, Well they do know what I can do.

"Why are we doing this?"

Bulong ni Lucien, mukang hindi sang ayon ang mga ito sa plano ko.

"Trust me Lucien, hindi ako gumagalaw ng hindi ko alam ang mga consequences."

Balik na bulong ko rito.

"Yo!"

Salubong ni Wade na nauna pa pala saamin rito, I raised one of my eye brows as we faced him. He's with Lucas at pareho pa silang kumakain ng halo halong nasa isang plastic cup.

"Best friends na kayo?"

Tanong ni Rhia, Wade pouted.

"Hindi, option lang niya ako pag wala yung original best friend niya, nakakatampo."

Nakasimangot na sabi nito, Naramdaman ko naman ang pasimpleng pagpulupot ng kamay ni lucien sa bewang ko, he sniffed my hair, I glanced at him, sinalubong ko ang nakakatunaw na mga titig nito saka ngumiti sakanyang direksyon.

"Silly, Stop making my heart flutter with just a smile."

Bulong nito, napangisi akong binigyan ito ng mabilis na halik sa labi na bahagyang nagpanguso sakanya.

"Alam niyo?" Si Rhia. "Tangina niyo." Walang emosyong sabi nito kalaunan ay ngumiti, mukang nalimutan nitong siya nga pala si Rhia, Rhia don't cuss, Chase even gave her a shocked expression.

"What? I'm roleplaying celestine kasi wala sya."

Irap nito, natawa nalamang ako, oh dear when will you stop pretending? That's Rhia, sa harap ng karamihan, she's a prim and proper kind of woman, She has no flaws and such, but once you see her as agent scarlet, you won't even see Rhia Roux on her anymore. Napangisi akong pasimpleng itinext sya.

Ako:

Carefull Rhia, your scarlet is showing.

I texted with heart emojis, she simply glared at me, nginisian ko lamang ito. Sumabay na samin si Wade at Lucas patungo sa nasabing bahay, nang makarating kami roon ay agad kaming sinalubong ng mga maids.

I sighed, I just hope my plan will work out, they don't actually know my real plan, and I bet di papayag ang mga ito kapag nalaman ang tunay na plano ko.

Inihatid na kami sa kanya kanya naming mga kwarto. I sighed as I look outside, mula rito ay kita ang magandang view. It's refreshing to see lots of trees, sariwa rin ang hangin, Idag dag pa ang view ng giant wooden st vincent statue ng bayambang na kitang kita mula rito sa kwartong inalaan para saakin, I texted someone then grinned widely..
