Chapter 8 Pain

Mabilis na binuhat ni Ken si Aryanne at lumabas sa lugar bago dumating ang pulis.Humanap sila ng ibang daan dahil tantiya ni Ken isang malaking sindikato ang nakalaban ni June. At naitiyak niyang gaganti ito sa babae.

Sa ospital habang ginagamot si Aryanne nalaman ni June lahat ng nangyari dito sa pamamagitan ng recorder na inilagay sa relo ni Aryanne.

Napaiyak si June dahil sa nalaman, napahamak ang kaibigan dahil sa simpleng pagkakamali nito.

Nagsimula ang trabaho na yun na simpleng tagahatid lamang ng dokumento. Pero dahil si Aryanne ay nagkamali ng pasok sa isang lugar at dahil dun inakalang espiya ito ng kalabang sindikato.Hindi na nakauwi si Aryanne.

Narinig ni June na nagmakaawa si Aryanne at tila nabuhayan ng loob ng sinabing papalayain siya ng lalaki kapag ibinigay nito ang sarili. Na sinang ayunan ni Aryanne dahil sa kagustuhang makatakas.

Yun nga lamang ang lider ng sindikato ay may kakaibang fetish. Mahilig ito sa virgin at ayaw nito sa mga hindi na virgin na dahilan ng pagsidhi ng galit kay Aryanne at kung kaya ipinasa sa tauhan ang kanyang kaibigan at sinapit ang mga ganitong sitwasyon.

Muling nagmakaawa si Aryanne at sinabing gagawin lahat ng gusto ng lider makalaya lamang. Pumayag naman ang lider na bigyan ng chance si Aryanne pero sinabi nito na dalhan siya ng virgin.

Wala ng kaibigan na virgin si Aryanne maliban kay June kung kaya nasabi niya na rin ang impormasyon ng dalaga sa lider.Dala ng desperasyon.

Alam ni Ken na masasaktan si June sa narinig pero ni hindi niya nakitang nagalit si June sa kaibigan ngunit pag unawa kay Aryanne ang pinakita nitong emosyon.

" By the way dont worry about the Inn, naitawag ko na tumawag sila ng pulis para hulihin ang pupunta dun. Ok lang sila pero mukhang natunugan ng sindikato ang pulis kaya di sila gumawa ng hakbang. Pero as of now under surveilance lahat." Sabi ni Ken kay June.

" Are you sure na ok lang sila na hindi mapahamak ang inn?"

" Yes ako ng bahala sa mga sindikato." Sabi ni Ken.

Takang napatingin si June sa lalaki. Pero hindi na lamang kumibo napagod siya sa mga nangyari sa araw na iyon. Ni hindi niya namalayan na nakatulog na pala siya.Agad siyang nilagyan ng jacket ni Ken at saka nito tinawagan si Youyou at inutusan na ihanap lahat ng impormasyon gamit ang lahat ng recordings na nakuha niya sa relo ni Aryanne.Nakakuha din siya ng pictures ng mga lalaking nakalaban ni June kaya si Youyou na bahalang kumalkal ng mga impormasyon dito.

Nagising si June ng alas kuwatro ng madaling araw.Muli niyang nakita ang bawat sugat at pait na sinapit ng kaibigan. Dahil dun lalong nagsidhi ang galit niya sa sindikato, kayat di na nagsayang ng oras si June. Ng makita naman niyang tulog si Ken sa kabilang bahagi ng kwarto at matiyak na walang tao ginamit ni June ang kapangyarihan.At sa harapan niya lumabas ang laptop. Agad niyang sinimulan humanap ng impormasyon sa relo ni Aryannne.

This time around she uses her skill as a hacker, to track and get imformations. And once again June did not fail.Her skill is still not rustic. Bago tuluyang lumiwanag June got what she wanted and she send all files to a police on what happen at Arianne and other illegal things that the syndicate does. All of hard evidence was send to police.

When Ken wake up he sees that June still sleeping. He look at his phone and got all the result he wanted. Ken instruct Youyou to send it to police. So before Aryanne woke that day all the syndicate involve including the leader was arrested.

Aryanne wake up at almost noon. When she see June she apologize and cried to her. June just hug her friend and console her.

Yun ang dinatnan ni Ken na eksena, dahil lumabas siya para bumili ng pagkain nila ni June. Kaya pay binigyan niya ng oras ang dalawa.

Ng hapon na iyon June saw on news that many evidence was file in the group syndicate. And wondered coz some of the eveidence where not from her. And there is more that they are investigating.Apparently the Syndicate happens to own by big and powerful people. But with all the evidence that are showing the syndicate could not bail theirselves out.

June wanted to punish them all but she is not allowed to kill people. So she control her anger. She just let the justice works for her friend.

Ken saw her watching the news. Just like June Ken wonder that many evidences were showing up against this syndicate. He saw all the things he asked Youyou but he did not see the other evidences. Looks like someones work beside him and he could only tell that it was June. He does not know how, or when June did that but he is very sure that the girl do it.

He saw her tighten her fist. He saw her anger rising up but it was for a moment only. He saw that she sigh and control herself.

June saw Ken also watching the news. Ken never leave them up to this moment though he has also lots of resposibility back in their base.

" Ken can I stay until Aryanne's get home."June asking Ken's permission.

" I know its hard but you see Im only her support in this country. I do not know how will her family is going to handle this."

Magpapatuloy pa sana si June sa pagsasalita ng may makita siyang humahangos na lalaki at agad na pumasok sa loob ng kwarto ni Aryanne.

Sinundan agad ni Aryanne ang lalaki. Nakita niya ang panlulumo ng lalaki ng makita si Aryanne. Pero biglang sumigaw si Aryanne at pilit na pinapaalis ang lalaki.

Agad naman nilapitan ni June ang naghihisteryang kaibigan. At nakiusap na lumabas ang lalaki.

" Sino yun bakit mo sya pinalabas?"

"Boyfriend ko!" sagot ni Aryanne na lalong nag iiyak.

June called the nurses to calm Aryanne coz she is still wounded. When Aryanne settled down she found the man still there sitting and waiting for Aryanne to calm down. The man went inside the room and wept quietly beside Aryanne's bed.

" Did you also found him?"June ask.

"Yes!"

" Do you know what you have done?"

" I told him to come here but not told him what happened to Aryanne."

" Ken alam mo, nating dalwa kung ano ang pinagdaanan ni Aryanne dun.It is a horrible, inhuman and very traumatic experience."

" I know kaya nga tinawagan ko sya if he really loves Aryanne he will accept her and will care for her."

" At pano kung hindi?"

Hindi nakakibo si Ken sa tanung ni June. Coz he knows this kind of pain takes a lot of time before it heals.

"Hope the guy will help."Sumusukong pahayag ni June.

Three days has passed. Aryanne became more difficult to approach. But June and Ryuzaki never let go and became very understanding and patient to Aryanne. But up to that time the guy still does not know what happens. He ask Aryann bit Aryanne never spoke to him.June respect her friend and let Aryanne decide if she is going to tell the truth to his boyfriend.

Aryannes wound are almost all healed but the trauma she experience is there. There are times Aryanne screamed at night coz she wakes up from the nightmare.The doctors needed to inject her sedative so Aryanne will calm down. When Aryanne is awake she neither talk to Ryuzaki or June.She is at lost and cried all the time she felt so stupid, dirty and embarrased.

Ken went back to Kirifuri and let June take care Aryanne for awhile. But he calls her every now and then.

But one time June was summoned to back coz Dr. Toshiko monster attack again. She left Aryanne and Ryuzaki and said there was an emergency she needed to take care of.

After defeating the monster June bid goodbye again and went back to the hospital.

June bought Aryanne her favorite meal. And she also bought her beautiful dress coz Aryanne like to dress up. She is smiling while entering the hospital when she saw many people gather in circle in that side of the hospital.

June was not a very curious type of person but she did not know why she stop and go there instead of going to Aryanne' s room.

As June approach she heard the people talk that someone jump in there.

So she take a look, first she saw nurses and doctor back then she saw the floor that is full of blood. Then she saw the nurses carried the lifeless body but still June did not saw the face of the one who commit suicide. Then in one swift moment the hand of the suicider fall and a sparkling thing caught June' s eye.

June was taken aback when she saw that sparkling thing. It' s a bracelet of her friend. She could really tell so for its one of kind, she made it just for Aryanne.

Then the nurses and doctor carried Aryanne's body covered in blood in a stretcher passing by her way.No sign of life could be detected.

"Aryanne!!!!!" Her cried filled the hospital.

And Ryuzaki who just arrive heard it and saw June was so shocked too. That day he goes home and change his cloth was stop by many phone calls at home. He never expect to see this situations when he came back to the hospital.

June could not still believe at what happened. She called Aryanne' s family and spoke about the sad news. Then she take care all the papers needed to send Aryanne back home. So her family could see her for one last chance. While she' s handling everything Ken remain on her side.

Finally June is at Aryanne' s apartment she put Aryanne' s things on the box she could not help but cry and blame herself for she is still weak. If only she is more fast, if only she is more powerful, if only she stop her from getting the job. There are so many what if's,

And only if she is not sealed. This questiona runs on her mind and she kept on weeping. Ken saw her crying and came beside her and offer her his hankerchief. June took not only the handkerchief but cried and she cried and cried on Ken's shoulder. Ken just tap her back to comfort her coz no words could comfort June. Coz Ken suffered lost too.

June cried until she felt asleep on Ken' s arms.

Then somebody spoke in June' s dream, do you want to get stronger? June just look around but saw no one. Then June wake up the next day forgetting all about her dream.Only to found out she is sleeping in Ken's chest.June instantly stand and because she move like that Ken woke up too. And saw June's red face for she was so embarrased.

June run to the comfort room and hide there for she hears her heart beating wildly.

As June hearts beat wildly a creeping shadows appear in the corner of the mirror and June did not notice it.
