KONSTANTIN MOROZOV (The Black Sparrow Society) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

"Who are you and why would mom send you to prison?" Hindi umimik ang matandang lalaki at tumitig lang sa kaniya. "But then again you kidnapped me and brought me to this place so I highly doubt that you're a good person. What do you want from me?"Tumawa ang matanda. "You think you're a good person?" "I didn't do anything bad in my life so yes, I am.""Everyone has a dark side, lyubov." "Don't call that. I'm not your love," singhal niya sa lalaki. Para itong walang narinig pero hindi na siya muling ginamitan ng endearment. "Weren't you rumoured that you dated a producer to star in a movie? To have a name in the entertainment business? And you say you're a good person," patuya nitong wika sa kaniya. "You said it yourself— it's just a rumor. You don't even know me so whatever you say is irrelevant." She won't even justify that accusation. Wala siyang tinapakang tao sa industriya. Kung anong mayroon siya ngayon ay dahil sa sariling sikap at talento sa pag-awit. Nang pasukin niya ang

Wala na ang lalaki nang lumingon siya at nakita na lang niya ang front door na pasara na. So now she owes him coffee money and she doesn't even know who he is. Not even his name.Mula nang araw na 'yon ay naging misteryo sa kaniya ang lalaki. Lumipas ang isang linggo. Dalawang linggo. But she didn't see him again until after the third week. It happened at the same coffee shop and this time, she was alone. It was after seven in the evening and she worked late at the centre. Ngayon ay gutom na siya at dahil tinatamad magluto ay nagsettle na lang siya sa kape at pastry para tutulog na lang siya mamaya. Magbabayad pa lang siya ng order niya nang may magsalita sa kaniyang gilid at magbaba ng isang medium size cup of coffee."Add this to her bill, please and thanks." Baritono ang boses ng lalaki at nakilala niya ito nang lingunin. He smiled at her. "You owed me money for two coffees. This order should cover it and a quick conversation." She swallowed once and silently paid for the bill.

Tahimik silang kumain ng niluto ni Gideon. They agreed to talk more after dinner. She put her thoughts aside for a bit and focused on the delicious he cooked for her. He even said it wasn't poisoned so she had nothing to worry about. Inismiran lang niya ang lalaki at saka naupo nang hilahin nito ang silya kanina. Once they were done eating, Gideon cleaned up and even made her tea. "Are you going to tell me why you've been avoiding me?" His cup of hot tea was still sitting on the coffee table. "How about you tell me who you've been seeing other than me."Saglit na kumunot ang noo nito. "I meet a lot of different people everyday. It's expected with the kind of job I have.""Even after office hours?""Yes, it happens. What are you hinting at? Can we just go straight to the point so I can explain?" Kahit naguguluhan ay hindi niya pinairal ang init ng ulo. He doesn't want to scare Valya or make her mad even more. "I saw you with a woman." Sinabi ni Valya ang nasaksihan niya nang gabing

She asked for a couple of days to think about it. Kahit alam niya na pwedeng maging dahilan ng paghihiwalay nila kung magdesisyon siyang huwag sumama. Nagfocus siya sa trabaho at kahit gusto niyang makasama ang mga kaibigan para malibang ay hindi niya magawa. Alex and Stan had a disagreement and they have stopped talking. Ngayon ay nasa gitna siya at pinipilit na walang kampihan. Stan was dating Alex's sister and they broke up. There is a reason why you don't date your friend's sister or brother, but Stan won't listen. "Have some strawberry cheesecake and coffee, Val," alok sa kaniya ni Ana. The smell was so divine that she didn't have a chance to say no. Sunod-sunod ang pagsubo niya at tulalang nakatitig sa kaniya ang kaibigan."Are you okay? You're not a big fan of sweets and I know the cheesecake is good, but it's weird seeing you eat that fast. It's like you wolfed it down.""It's really good." Then she remembered the coffee but as soon as she tasted it, Valya felt like vomitin

Kons never thought for one second that he would fight alongside this once feared man who was supposed to be dead years ago. The sound of grenades exploding is enough to scare the shit out of any human being but Gordan Markovic was as cool as that rapper from the streets of Brooklyn. “Have a drink.” Inabot niya sa akin ang isang baso na may lamang alak. “I don’t think we should be drinking. It’s getting crazy outside and—““Drink and sit your ass down, Morozov.” Lumigid s’ya sa mesa at binuksan ang drawer sa kanan. From there, he took a Desert Eagle. He checked it then put it down on the table. Was he going to kill him with that? S’ya rin ang sumagot sa tanong niya nang tumambad ang isa pang baril na kagaya nito. “Where is my wife?” “She’s safe. Now, give me the information I need. We do not have time.”“What makes you think I have the information? Telling me my wife is safe does not guarantee anything.”“Nothing is guaranteed in this world, Morozov... even your life.” Bumilis an
