Imperious Series 4 His Exclusively

Chapter 6

When Rohan's sister came out of the bar, she waited for her for a few while before he followed her. Aba! It was an easy job for him and she wouldn't notice him. Napapailing siya sa katarayan nito sa kanya, same as what she did on him in the restaurant.

Sa totoo lang ay hindi naman talaga niya sinadya na magkita silang dalawa rito sa bar ng kaibigan. Maaga lang kasi silang natapos ng mga kaibigan so he went home early to his condo. Iyon nga lang, he was bored so he decided to go bar hopping at dito siya napadpad. And to his luck, he saw her again all alone.

Maraming mga mata ang nakatingin sa dalaga and he doesn't like that especially that they seem to eat her whole by the way they look at her. So he went beside her and do some chitchatting which eventully pissed her off and drove away.

And as what he had heard, she was meeting with her friends but it seemed like they were in different places. and then she decided to go.

Nakasunod siya ngayon sa sasakyan nito hanggang sa nakarating ito sa destinasyon. Then he saw her with her friends drinking and dancing and drinking and chichatting with other men. Nawala lamang ang atensiyon niya sa dalaga nang may nakatanggap siya ng tawag mula sa ama. Saglit siyang lumabas ng bar upang magkausap sila ng ama nang maayos ngunit pagbalik niya ay hindi na niya nakita ang dalaga maging ang mga kaibigan nito. Hinanap niya ito sa buong bar ngunit hindi na niya nakita ang mga ito at malamang ay umuwi na ang mga ito o iniuwi ng mga kasama nilang lalaki.

He was pissed as scenes, erotic scenes came to his mind. Hindi niya nagustuhan iyon. So he did all his means to get her number. Siyempre hindi niya iyon kinuha sa kapatid nito dahil nunca naman nitong ibibigay sa kanya ang numero ng kapatid. He was damn protective over her at kung siya ang may kapatid na babaeng maganda at sexy ay ganoon din ang gawin niya. Baka nga mas malala pa roon ang gawin niyang pambabakod.

Nakauwi na siya sa janyang condo nang matanggap niya ang numero ng dalaga. He started texting her asking where she was but he got no response from her. He waited and waited for her response but nothing happened until he decided to call her and his blood boiled when he heard what she said.

Was she making out at that moment? he thought. He was talking and talking to her but she didn't answer him. Malamang ganoon nga ang ginagawa nito. Pero naisip niya, wala naman siyang naririnig na mga ungol sa kabilang linya. Napakatahimik nga niyon kung tutuusin. Until she answered.

"Where the hell did you get my number?" tanong nito sa kanya at bakas ang pagkainis nang makilala na nito ang boses niya.

"Hello to you too, gorgeous," bati niya rito. "Where are you right now?"

"My whereabouts is none of your business. Now, tell me. Saan mo nakuha ang number ko. For sure my brother didn't give it to you," siguradong-siguradong wika nito sa kanya.

"I have my resources," sagot niya rito.

"Bakit ka napatawag? Hindi mo ba alam na gabing-gabi na?"

He can imagine her rolling her eyes, arching one of her eyebrows and getting red because of him. Natuwa siya ngunit mas matutuwa ata siya kung sa ibang bagay ito magiging ganoon.

"Just checking if you got home, gorgeous. Your brother won't like it if you're not home and with other---,"

HIndi na niya naituloy ang sasabihin dahil pinatayan na siya nito ng tawag. He tried calling her again but she wasn't answering it until she turned it off.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang siya. Itinabi niya ang kanyang cellphone pagkatapos ay ipinikit ang mga mata. But then opened them again because his mind wasn't in good condition. Hindi maganda ang takbo niyon dahil sa dalagang maganda na sexy at mataray pa. He tossed and tossed until he decided to go out and be laid.

Pagkatapos nang paglabas niya ay dumiretso na siya sa bahay ng mga magulang upang doon magpalipas nang gabi. Kailangan din naman silang magkita ng kanyang ama dahil may importante silang pag-uusapan kaya naman doon na niya napagpasyahang umuwi. Isa pa ay mas malapit iyon keysa sa kanyang condo.

Hindi na rin naman niya kailangang kumatok pa dahil kahit na hindi na siya nakatira roon ay may sarili pa rin naman siyang susi at passcode ng buong bahay. Their family house was securely locked. Dahil na rin sa linya ng trabaho nilang mag-aama ay kailangan nilang siguraduhin ang kapakanan ng kanilang ina na laging naiiwan kasama lamang ang mga pinagkakatiwalaang kasambahay. Mayroon din silang tatlong security guard na nagrerelyebo para sa kaligtasan ng mga naiiwan.

When he reached at his room, old room, he went directly at his bed. Hindi na siya nag-abala pang magbihis dahil nakakaramdam na siya ng pagod. Isa pa ay makapaglinis na rin naman siya ng katawan pagkaalis sa hotel kasama ang babae niya. He just took off his shoes and threw it elsewhere then closed his eyes as sleep consumed his mind and body.

"Look what have you done, Francis. Look and don't forget to remember this until your last breath."

Biglang napabangon si Francis dahil sa panaginip na iyon. He was sweating, a cold one. Malalaki ang butil ng kanyang pawis lalong-lalo na sa noo. Naihilamos niya ang kanyang dalawang kamay sa mukha dahil doon pagkatapos ay huminga nang malalim. Calmed himself because a nightmare came once again after long years. He wondered why this nightmare came. He was thinking of what triggered his memory to remember it once again. Hindi naman sa ayaw niyang maalala iyon ngunit pilit niya iyong itinatago sa kasulok-sulukang bahagi ng kanyang isip. Because that was his greatest mistake in life.

He sighed. Closed his eyes. Calmed himself. It took him a while to calm himself before he got up from his bed and went to the bathroom. He stayed under the shower, cold shower to ease his body. After freshing up his mind and body, he went out of the room and went downstairs to the kitchen, went to the cupboard, looked for his favorite cup and made his coffee.

He went out of the kitchen and went to the garden while waiting for the sun to rise. The cold wind lingered onto his bareskin yet he loved the feeling of it. He was just there sipping his coffee while looking at the sky to brighten up.

"Maaga ka yata, anak? You went home late." It was his father who was holding a cup of coffee to then sat beside him.

"Namamahay yata ako, Dad," sagot niya sa ama habang sumisimsim ng mainit na kape. Malapit na iyong maubos at mukhang kailangan na siyang magtimpla ulit.

"I was telling you, hijo. Pwede ka naman kasing umuwi na lang dito pagnatatapos ang trabaho mo but you insisted to buy that condo of yours. Hindi mo naman laging natitirhan dahil mas marami ang oras mo sa labas," komento nito sa kanya.

"Dad, ilang beses na nating napag-usapan ito."

"I know. I know but your mother kept on nagging me about the three of you buying your own condo when in fact we have a huge house."

Mahina siyang natawa sa sinabi ng ama. Kapag nga naman umuuwi silang magkakapatid ay ganoon na ganoon ang linya ng kanilang ina. Bakit daw kailangan pa nilang umalis ng bahay at bumili ng condo gayong malaki ang bahay nila? But then, they wanted to have freedom. Alangan namang doon pa sila tumira kung gabi-gabi naman silang nag-uuwi ng iba't ibang babae and their father knew about it. Of course, they have the same s*x organ kaya alam na alam nito ang ganoong kalakaran nila.

"How was Loui?" tanong ng kanyang ama.

"He was fine and his girl was fine," sagot niya sa ama.

"That's good. By the way tungkol nga pala sa sinasabi ko sa iyo sa telepono," his father said, "have you thought about it?"

Napailing siya. His father wanted him to take a new assignment in Siberia but he wasn't prepared for it. Hindi pa nga niya na-e-enjoy ang kanyang bakasyon dahil sa trabaho niya sa kaibigan pagkatapos ay pinipilit na siya nitong bumalik sa trabaho. Hindi pa niya nakukuha ang quota niya sa mga chick niya.

"Dad, I told you that I wanted to have a vacay first, maybe a month or two, then I'll be back for work," giit niya rito.

"Wasn't that too long, hijo?" tanong nito sa kanya.

"Nope," maikling sagot niya.

Mukhang hindi naman siya mapipilit ng kanyang ama sa pagbabalik sa trabaho kaya naman ay hindi na ito nagpumilit pa. Nagmana siya sa ama na may katigasan ang ulo, both sa taas at sa baba, kaya naman alam nitong pinal na ang kanyang desisyon.

"Okay, I'll call the agency to give it to others," sagot nito na ikinatuwa niya. "By the way dahil nandito ka na rin, can you do me a little favor?" seryosong tanong nito sa kanya.

Siyempre kapag ganoon na ang tono ng ama kasama ng seryosong mukha nito ay paniguradong hindi iyon basta-basta. If it's a favor, then he meant something serious and he must obey it at all cost. Minsan lang kasi ito humihingi ng pabor sa kanya. Puro trabaho ang sinasabi nito sa kanya. Utos na kailangan niyang sundin pero kapag ganito na, it was something personal and a matter of life and death.

"What was it, Dad?" seryosong tanong niya sa ama.

He was looking at him, intently. Pinag-aaralan nito ang reaksiyon niya kung seseryosohin ba niya ito o hindi. Pero alam na alam naman nito kung ano ang magiging sagot niya roon.

"I just want you to deliver a package," naiiling na wika sa kanya ng kanyang ama.

"Deliver a package? What was it?" muli niyang tanong sa ama. He was wondering what kind of package was that. Sa uri kasi ng trabaho nila ay marami ang nais ipakahulugan ng salitang iyon. It was something dangerous or confidential.

"Literary a package, son," sagot nito sa kanya na ikinakunot ng noo niya. "You don't believe me?" Natawa ito sa kanya. "It was a birthday present, son. Give it to someone."

"Are you seeing someone that Mom doesn't know about? Or may iba pa kaming kapatid?" tanong niya sa ama na ikinatawa nito nang pagkalakas-lakas.

Binitiwan niya ang pagkakahawak sa tasa ng kape at tiningnang maigi ang kanyang ama. He was asking a serious question and he would just laugh at him. So malamang ay ganoon nga ang senaryo.

"Seriously, Dad?"

"You know what, son? Sa tagal mo na sa serbisyo ay paniguradong alam mo ang sagot sa tanong na iyan. Stop fooling around," sagot nito sa kanya.

Oo nga naman. Tama naman ito ngunit malay niya kung magaling talaga itong magtago at ngayon lang nito isisiwalat ang impormasyong iyon.

"Then to whom would I deliver that package?" seryosong tanong niya.

"Maureen Dela Merced." And he stilled.
