Chapter-377

Traitor

Jay-Jay's POV

"Mom, when I grow up, I'll buy you a big house . . ." "Get strong,
you're always sick." Who was that? Who was talking? I heard a voice and an image was slowly forming. There
was a woman next to me ironing her clothes. I watched her closely until she had a face in my vision. Mom? I
tried to look around me but it was blurry. I looked at what was in front of me and the first thing I saw was the
row of clothes. I stared at the same clothes that I had been folding over and over again. Wait a minute? Why
were my hands moving on their own? I looked at Mom again and was stunned when I saw the bruises on her
ace and shoulders. She looked at me for a moment and smiled as if there were no marks on her face. I tried
to speak but nothing came out of my mouth. Why is this? "Jeana!" a male voice called to Mom. He was
standing at the door but because of the light behind him I couldn't see his face. Mom stopped what she was
doing and attended to the man. He walked towards me but before I could fully see his face, the surroundings
suddenly went dark. Was this a dream? I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Keifer. It was
like I was dreaming. I tried to move my hand and it seemed like he noticed it. "Jay, can you hear me?" I couldn't
move properly. I felt so heavy, as if someone had stepped on me. I tried to speak but all I could do was cough .
"Don't force it, your fever is still high," Keifer said and I automatically felt cold. Not cold to him. To my body.
That's why my body was heavy and it was hard to move. But I knew this was true, this was reality. It was
different from what I had seen earlier. But when did that happen and why did I see that? "Do you want water?"
The King offered and I nodded in response. My body and neck were hard to move. My head was also aching .
It felt like my whole body had been slammed against the wall. It was like a rag being shaken to remove dust.
That's how it felt. Keifer helped me sit up properly before giving me water to drink. I only drank a little at a time
even though I really wanted a glass of it . I was so thirsty, my throat was even drier than the desert . I might
have grown a cactus out of my thirst. After drinking and resting for a while, I finally realized where I was. I was
still at Sir Alvin and Ma'am Cindy's house, in their guest room. I thought I had been taken to the hospital again.
I would only have to make the hospital a residential address in a few minutes. I suddenly remembered what
happened earlier and my cousin. "K-Kuya?" I asked worriedly. "He's downstairs, Ma'am Cindy is giving stitches
to his exposed cuts." I breathed a sigh of relief at what I heard. I was silent for a moment and then I noticed
the heavy rain. I looked out the window. Why did it suddenly rain? That's probably why we were still here at
Sir's house. If it wasn't raining, I would probably be in the hospital again because of what happened. Add to
that, Kuya's condition was not good and he lost consciousness earlier. I suddenly thought, why did he lose
consciousness again? "What the hell . . . did you do to Kuya earlier that he lost consciousness?" I asked the
King of the Snakes and he seemed to turn pale. It turned out he was scared too. "I . . . ahh . . . I kind of hit him
with force," he replied. He obviously didn't want to say it. He also looked ashamed of what he had done or
maybe afraid of what Death would do to him if he found out he was being attacked by this one. "Why did you
do that?" I really wanted to laugh at him. He had the courage to do that. Audacious. "When I heard you
screaming for aid, I felt anxious and enraged. I couldn't even look at who was in front of you." He explained
calmly. "I only want to save you." That was a lot of saving. I wasn't thrilled. Just a little. Save button. I couldn't
help but be touched by touch your my all time lover for what he did even though Kuya was hurt and lost
consciousness. Partida, I felt sorry for what happened to him and was also worried. I just couldn't help it. Hari
held one of my hands and what happened earlier before I lost consciousness came back to me. Also the
bloody man I saw. I was terrified when I remembered his face and the screams he made. He wanted to kill
Mama and me. "Jay? Are you okay? Lie down first." He was about to help me but I stopped him. "There's . . . I
saw somethingâ€"." "WHERE THE HELL IS THAT MOTHER FVCKER?" Kuya shouted, cutting me off. There he
was. Keifer and I were still staring at each other with wide eyes . He held my hands tightly and bowed. It was
as if he was praying. That was all he did, he just accepted his death at Kuya Angelo's hands. "Wait a minute!
Your wounds might bleed!" I heard Ma'am Cindy shout. "Don't stop me!" Ma'am and my cousin cursed one
after another. It was the first time I heard my teacher curse at Kuya. It was like they were fighting while
walking towards here. That was how scared I was when Death suddenly appeared at the door. There, he was
picking up Keifer.
"YOU FCVKER! WHY ARE THE TWO OF YOU HERE?"
he asked angrily.
The King of the Cobras immediately faced him. There was no trace of
ear or anything. Courage.
"I'm here to look after Jay-Jay. You passed out, remember? And the
others need to help Sir Alvin," he explained and I nodded.
My cousin looked at me and when our eyes met,
he took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Ma'am was behind him, looking
relieved to see me awake.
"I'll make you some porridge. You were unconscious a while ago,
so you must be hungry," he said before hitting Kuya and leaving us.
Did he hit Kuya? This is on another level, Ma'am.
I'm really hungry. I didn't have breakfast and then I got into
trouble. I guess that's why I was so weak and quickly softened earlier.
Breakfast really does something different in life.
"How long did it take me to lose consciousness?" Kuya asked me.
I know, I was asleep too.
"Couple of hours. You and Jay-Jay were just together."
Kuya Angelo rubbed the back of his neck. "How did I pass out?
I was wide awake earlier."
Hari and I looked at each other in confusion. My cousin didn't yet know that
this little guy had hit him. I didn't know if
we should tell him or just wait for him to realize it on his own.
But it seemed better if we just buried it in oblivion.
I was sure he would come back to haunt him.
"Anyway, what happened to you?" he asked me. "Why did
you suddenly yell at me to stay away?"
I was stunned. That's because of what I saw and I thought he was someone else but
I didn't want to let him know that. I was sure he would force
me to go to a psychiatrist again or maybe he would suddenly
have Dra. Claudia come here again.
I didn't want to face the Doctor for now.
"H-I don't remember." I tried to excuse myself but he didn't seem to believe
the way he was staring.
I simply grabbed Keifer's hand tightly, who still hadn't
let go of me since earlier. It seemed like Hari got what
I wanted to convey. He immediately asked something else to change the
conversation.
"Where's the others now?"
Kuya thought for a moment. "I think they're still out cleaning the mess."
I couldn't understand what they were talking about. "
Are you talking about the Ulopongs?"
They both nodded.
Wow, at the same time. Just a dance number?
"They picked up Ram's companions. Majority of them lost
their consciousness," explained the confused Hari.
"Will they take them to the police?"
"I doubt it. It would be a big deal. The location
of Alvin's property would be known," Kuya replied.
That was another thing. What would happen to Ma'am?
Their house would be exposed. Sir still doesn't want anyone to know about their house because
he might be hiding a child.
He could also be in debt.
"But Ram might be sent back to the hospital. I heard his ribs are fractured."
Hari and I stared at Death together. I witnessed what
he did and I'm sure the person next to me also knew that only he
could have done that. We didn't see any trace of guilt or
remorse from him.
We both looked at the door when Ma'am Cindy entered
carrying a tray of food. She lowered her hand and
Keifer immediately helped her up. There was also medicine and water for me.
There it is! I was so hungry.
I immediately smiled at Ma'am and thanked her. "Thank you."
She nodded and approached Kuya. She whispered something and I could clearly see
the change in my cousin's expression. I knew he had
ound out something bad. He obviously wanted to hurt me.
They turned their backs on me and left after saying goodbye.
"Did you see?" I asked Hari and he nodded.
"Something is wrong."
"Follow me." I ordered her and she quickly refused.
"I am not leaving you here alone."
I winced. "This, I'm sure no one will rush here."
He shook his head while stirring the porridge in the bowl. He tried
to taste it but I turned my face away.
Okay, be stubborn.
"Jay . . ." he called to me.
"Follow Kuya."
"I won't leave you here alone." He insisted.
"Nothing bad will happen to me here. I can
eat alone."
He looked at me as if what I said was a question mark. "What
if you get burned? It's hot."
"Just a burn from the porridge? Did you think I would die?"
"You can't tell."
Oh, this one's skin is really different.
"Don't go there. Come on!" I insisted angrily.
"Why are you skin?" He asked me angrily.
He really wanted to be angry. His reason was shallow.
"I'm worried. Follow me, even if it's just for a moment and then come back
."
He suddenly made me feel uncomfortable. I felt like I was getting annoyed by his look and
wanted to poke his eyes.
And he really did.
"He said follow me."
He ignored me and just continued mixing the porridge.
He seemed to be about to eat a little more.
I didn't know how to force him.
There was only one way left.
Another forbidden technique.
"Easy, that's next. That's next, that abujing-abujing
."
He suddenly laughed. He almost spilled the contents of the
bowl he was holding, but luckily he put it back on the tray. He faced me and
laughed even louder.
He was so happy.
"Do it again. Do it again," he said while taking something out of his pocket.
I immediately refused when I saw that he had taken his cellphone.
I knew what this idiot was planning.
"Do it again, I'll take a video."
"No. Stop it!" I said annoyed when he tried to show
me the phone's camera.
Because of my bad feeling and weakness, I had a hard time stopping
him. I took his phone away several times. He just laughed
.
"Waaaag . . ." "I won't show it to anyone else," he said and showed me the phone's camera
again . I won't do that again. I was about to scream when we heard a noise from outside the room. We both
roze. It sounded like someone was arguing or fighting. "Is someone fighting?" I asked and Keifer walked to
where I was supposed to go but I immediately pulled him. "I'll come with you." "No, stay here. I'll just be a
moment." I didn't agree and tightened my grip on him. He was about to resist when we heard another scream.
He had no choice but to take me with him so that we could see what was happening. He took a position on
the edge of the bed and carried me on his back. He adjusted my carry and walked out of the room. When I got
to the stairs, I saw the Uupongs standing in a row around Kuya Angelo, Ma'am Cindy and Sir Alvin. Is Kuya
fighting the Ulubongs? David was slightly separated with his arms still crossed and was examining the
Ulubongs one by one. Ci-N looked up at me when he saw us. "Jay-Jay," he called to me, grabbing everyone's
attention. "What are you doing here? Go back there." Kuya ordered but I ignored him. "What's going on?" I
asked. I looked at the Ulubongs who were also looking at me. Some were looking away and others clearly
didn't understand what was happening. "Take him back to the room." Kuya ordered Keifer but he didn't obey.
"Is there something here that don't want Jay-Jay to find out?" My cousin was clearly upset and looked at the
couple to ask for their help but they just shrugged their shoulders at him. I looked over at the coffee table
where there were many pictures. But I was wrong, these were the pictures that Ram sent me with threats. I
didn't know that Kuya brought those but why and for what? What was that? He always brings them? "You two
are stubborn. When Jay- Jay's condition gets worse, you'll be the one who gets angry with me." My cousin
threatened before confronting our friends again. "Do I need to repeat my question?" Keifer approached Sir
Alvin and asked. "What is going on here?" Sir Alvin showed us the expensive but dirty phone in his hand. "This
is Ram's phone. Edrix managed to open it and found out . . ." He opened the phone and a Google map
appeared with their house location pinned to it " . . . that someone sent my house location." My eyes widened.
Who did it? That's why Ram and his group found us. It should be a secret. How are they going to hide it?
"Whoever sends our location, is probably the same person taking these photos," said Kuya, pointing to the
pictures on the coffee table. "Again . . . one of you betrayed Jay-Jay. Admit it while I'm still calm." "It's
impossible for one of us," said Felix and Kuya glared at him. "You're so confident. Someone did it!" Felix was
right. It's absolutely impossible for one of those Snakes. I want to stop my cousin because I don't want him to
treat the Snakes like this. They're not doing anything bad. "What if one of us was just followed and then sent it
to Ram?" Kuya turned to Yuri, who was the last to speak. "I hope you were just followed or one of us." "There's
nothing on the surveillance." Sir Alvin snapped. "I also double checked the CCTV but there's no possible
intruder." My cousin sighed. It was as if he was holding back but he wanted to shout that his suspicions were
correct. Maybe someone had just gotten through. Yes, once it crossed my mind that someone might have
sent a picture to Ram but it was hard to accept that someone might have. I prefer to think that maybe Kuya
was just thinking about it wrong. He took the pictures on the coffee table. "This is another thing, this photos
was taken too close to Jay-Jay like it was taken just beside her. No professional photographer would have
taken a picture like this especially if it was just the two of you together." He said calmly but he still couldn't
stop himself from throwing the pictures at their feet. Rory took the one that landed at his feet. He examined it
but didn't say anything. "Wait, didn't you take this from your phone . . ." Eren asked so we all looked at him and
the picture he was holding. "Denzel?" Denzel? "Yes, this one too." Mayo added as she sorted through the
pictures at her feet. Even the other Ulopongs picked up pictures and looked at them. "Idiot, this one too." "You
idiot, Denzel!" "You idiot, is that why you keep taking pictures?" We all looked at Denzel who also looked
surprised at what was being accused of him. He also had pictures in his hand that he didn't know how to
explain. "H-I'm notâ€"." Before he could answer, he was already holding Kuya Angelo's collar. I screamed, "Kuya!"
Trying to push the Ulopongs away. Almost everyone was already surrounding them and trying to separate my
cousin and Denzel. Wait! That wife just gave birth!" "Angelo! Calm down!" Sir Alvin shouted. "Let Denzel
explain first!" Yuri waved them off. "Calm down! Let my friend explain himself!" David was also trying to
restrain himself. Despite everyone who tried to restrain him, he still wouldn't let go. Keifer was forced to put
me down and leave me next to Ma'am Cindy. He also restrained himself , just not in the way I had imagined.
He wrapped his arm around Kuya's neck and choked him. "You calm the fvck down!" Oh, you mean choke him.
Miraculously, my cousin let go after struggling to breathe. He was clearly very angry. Denzel coughed while
panting. His fellow Snakes immediately helped him, except for the others who also seemed suspicious of
him. The King only let go of my cousin when he was sure he was calm. He only received a bad look. "Let him
explain first," he said to Death. The King of Snakes seemed to be getting impatient. "Denzel, please explain."
Sir Alvin pleaded. "H-I don't. "I didn't send those pictures to anyone but Grace," he explained and Kuya clearly
didn't want to accept it. "That's really the truth." I believe him. I've also seen him send a picture to Grace
himself from his cellphone once. I also don't see any reason for him to betray me or us. "So who sent those
pictures to Ram? Grace?" Blaster asked annoyed but he got a slap from David. "Of course, it wasn't her. He
never met Ram," he said and turned to Rory and Edrix. "Why don't you talk?" Rory and Edrix now? "Why Rory
and Edrix?" Calix asked and looked back and forth between the two. "It's impossible they betrayed." "I'm not
implying that they betrayed us. "I know they know something, it's impossible for them not to know a thing or
two," David explained and everyone's attention shifted to the two of them. In fact, I noticed the silence
between the two of them. In times like these when they're looking for each other, they're usually the ones who
take the lead in helping. But now, they seem to be speechless. "W-We don't know," Edrix replied. "If so, find the
culprit then. Use Ram's phone. I'm sure there 's a number on it." Keifer ordered but Sir stopped him. "We called
the number but it was already deactivated." How can we find the one who betrayed us? I want to catch him so
we can find out the truth. I believe none of the Ulopong could do that to us. I really hope none of them would.
"Are you Rory?" the King asked Rory but he just shook his head. "No. If there was, I'd let him speak on his own."
Felix cursed one after another. "Edi there is! Someone betrayed me!" Even his fellow Ulopongs exchanged
words. Others were angry because they didn't understand why Felix said that. Some were making those who
could confess confess. Some were even teaching. "Why did you betray me?" The young Kumag asked in tears
but no one paid attention to him. I didn't realize that I had also started crying on my own. I didn't know if it was
because I felt bad or because I couldn't accept that someone would betray us. With all we've been through,
why would someone still do that? It's like that again. The feeling I had when I found out they had cheated on
me was coming back to me . It hurts me to think that it's true, what if they confirmed it. Will I still be able to
orgive? "Drew! "Why are you so quiet?" Eman asked when she noticed Drew was just in a corner and not
moving. He was just holding a picture and staring at it. "Drew, what's the problem?" Kit asked. Everyone's
attention gradually shifted to Drew. Even David approached him to snatch what he was holding. It was a
picture of me laughing and Drew was right next to me with a big smile. Why was I suddenly nervous about
him? "Drew, what's going on with you?" Josh asked. "Drew, answer me!" "Stupid, are you getting old?" "Andrew
Klondike Mercado!" Felix was about to approach him to force him to be alone but we were both stunned when
he opened his mouth and spoke. I just covered my mouth before crying out loud. Why? Why did you do this? "I-
I . . . I sent Ram our pictures and location."
