Silhouette

"Why? Does your head still hurt?" worried I asked Pow Pow as he tightened his grip on me.

He squeezed even harder. "Sister, I want to sleep."

I stroked his head. "All right, my sister is here, I'll watch over you, okay?"

He nodded at what I said, as if he was relieved to hear.

I gently combed Pow Pow's arm. Gradually I felt his arm release from me.

I could hear her deep breathing so I was sure drowsiness had visited her.

"Sleep well," I whispered, smiling before kissing his forehead.

I quickly walked away and let go of Pow Pow when I heard my cell phone ring.

I frowned when I saw the number calling me. Tangina.

I walked away from Pow Pow and approached the door of his room, making sure it was closed.

"What?" I asked without emotion when I answered the call.

"Acid."

My fists clenched when I heard its voice.

"Dad," I exclaimed.

"You're not answering my phone calls, Silhouette. What happened?" It's cold voice made me grin.

"You are not my business, dad, why would I waste your time?" I answered with difficulty.

He chuckled devilishly on the other line. "I heard you're living in your apartment, with someone, a kid, right?"

I was shocked to be crunchy because of what my dad said. How did he know?

"You old man, tell me, who are the other minions you are sending here to the Philippines to follow me? You look like a tail that no matter how hard you try to cut, it will come and go," I asked angrily.

"I'm too handsome and rich to be a tail, Acid. I'm more on a dragon," he replied laughing.

"Yes, the dragon really matters to you, you look ancient," I said firmly.

He chuckled once again. "I'm still in my 30's, son."

"I don't care, tell me, who else did you send here to the Philippines to watch over me?"

"My men."

My jaw tightened at what I heard, this man is also really a philosopher.

I was about to scold him again when I saw Pow Pow's slight twitch.

"I'll call you again, wait." I didn't even wait for his answer, I quickly turned off the call before exiting the Pow Pow's room.

I turned to the person who grabbed my arm.

"Baby, where the hell are you going?" It's a bold question while looking at the cellphone I was holding.

"I'll just call someone," I replied nervously.

His expression darkened as his jaw tightened. "Who will you call?"

I stroked his arm to calm him down, it seemed effective because the frown on his forehead disappeared.

"Daddy called me, we just needed to talk," I explained.

The rage on his face disappeared when he heard my explanation.

"You're going somewhere? I understand baby," she said calmly.

"Is it okay if I watch Pow Pow for a while? He's asleep, and then I'll be right back, promise," I promised.

He smiled at me, he lifted my chin with his finger before kissing me firmly on the lips.

"Take care, baby, I'll take care of Pow Pow here," she replied smiling.

I hugged him back. "Thank you, I gotta go ahead."

I ran out of the Hospital, this old man is also really condensed, like a mushroom that will suddenly appear.

When I got out of the Hospital, I took a chair outside and rested my body there.

I immediately called my dad who even beat Hollywood actors in arrogance. In less than a second he answered.

"What, are you still breathing?" I opened it when he answered the call.

"What do you think of me?"

"No, I thought you were choked by the excessive dust of your personality." I smiled after saying that.

"Acid, you have to listen carefully. I need to tell you something very important," he said seriously on the other line.

I nodded annoyed even though he couldn't see me.

"Tell me, you're still hanging."

"Your cousin, she's alive. And her mother is alive too, my sister. I know you can't forget them." I was stunned by what it said.

"E-Eerrah? And Aunt Isabella?" I will ask.

"Yes, Isabella contacted me, she told me to keep an eye on Eerrah. She wanted to keep an eye on your cousin with me, because she knew Eerrah was not safe in her father's hands," he answered.

I touched the lower lip. "Please, I don't want to get involved in this shit for a while, Stanley. I still have a problem, but I can promise that I'll take care of Eerrah soon, when I'm well. For now, handle it. "

"I know, it just came to my mind suddenly that I should tell you about this. I don't want you to blame yourself because you thought Eerrah was dead." I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at what he said.

"Okay, I'll go now--"

"That child, he's suffering from Leukemia, right? I can help you with that," he whispered.

I moaned. "Then what? After treating him, you'll train Pow Pow to be your agent? No. "

"You know me so well, Acid. Okay, I'll hang up now." I was stunned when he dropped the call.

His face is really thick, I'm the only one who has the right to drop him a call. He really diverted the conversation to make way, that man was really shameless.

I would have been upright in the seat when a beautiful woman sat next to me.

It was frustrating while wearing a headband on the head. I laughed at the way it looked, it looked like my age, but it looked like a child.

"Do you want pesos?" I offer.

Its snout widens. "I don't want to! My boyfriend is fighting with me, he doesn't want to buy me ice cream!"

I laughed and shook my head. "Edi, you bought a new boyfriend."

He shook his head. "No, he's too handsome for me! I love him so much!"

I smiled when I saw the glow in her eyes, obviously in love.

We both looked up when someone grabbed him.

"Maxreign, baby, please, talk to me." She, her boyfriend, is handsome.

If I didn't have a Third, I would be here. But I'm sorry, it's taken.

"Bullet! I'm still talking, eh!" the woman growled and even glared at me.

The angel's gaze shifted to me, slowly grinning.

"Montevero, my brother is looking for you," he said smiling before handing the beautiful woman.

I was just dumbfounded.

What? Why does he know my last name?

The girl turned to me and waved. "Bye! You're cute, I am Maxreign!"

Shaking, I banged my head. Lots of weird people in the world.
