A Man's Cold World

Nineteen

The moment Kurt realized what was happening, hindi na siya naghintay pa ng tamang oras, pumasok siya sa sasakyan at pinaharurot iyon.

While driving , he dialed Jonas's number and told him to call the unit just in case of emergency. Kung siya lang mag isa ang involve, kayang kaya naman niya but then, there's 'she' who he needs to protect.

At ayaw niyang magpadalos dalos na gaya ng dati niyang gawain.

Damn it!

Ang babae talagang 'yon! Pumunta lang naman ito sa bar kung nasaan ang target nila! At nandon, nakipag inuman pa sa mga ito!

Talk about how stubborn his woman is!

Okay lang sanang matigas ang ulo nito pagdating sa kanya. Sa KANYA lang! At hindi pati sa trabaho nito dahil sa totoo lang, she'll be the death of him.

"f**k it! f**k f**k!!"

Kurt turned his car into flying one. Just to see his woman right now! But when he is entering the said bar. He's back to same old Kurt Gazmen who is cold yet daring. Walking like a fearless lion but deep inside him, he is trembling.

Fearing that something awful might happen any time.

His one hand on his slacks packet while the other hand has his cigarette in it at kasabay ng pagbuga ng usok mula sa bunganga niya ay siyang pagtapon ng upos ng sigarilyo sa may basurahan.

He's on his black body fitted shirt paired and tacked in with black slacks and like a bad boy walking through the bar.

All eyes on him, most especially the girls. But in his mind, only one woman is the reason why he's entering this f*****g bar!

The said bar is which he doesn't want to enter his whole life but only one woman can break his rules!

He didn't even blink, he just entered the table where Sabina is and put his two hand on her two shoulder blades, he move it—no, delete that — roamed his finger tips to the said shoulder down to her waist, while the other hand stayed on where it was. He bended the half of his body and put his face to Sabina's ear level while looking at the man sitting in front of Sabina and just smirk "Sorry, I'm late" he casually said.

Sabina on the other hand is biting her inner lower lip as she casually touch her hair just to not let anybody notuce how she is aroused just fuckin' now!

Shit Gazmen..

Habang ang lalaki naman ay pinaglalaruan nito ang baywang ng babae na tila ba wala itong paki alam anuman ang maging itsura ng babae ngayon.

He knew, this spot, with his hands can make Sabina moan at any time. And he did it on purpose.

She shouldn't had been provoking him with her stubbornness or else, she will be bedridden for a day.

"Let's go?" he said sweetly. Enough to make Sabina shivers.

Sabina just nodded and smiled to the man she just asked to have a drink with and stood up like there's nothing wrong.

But in her mind, this f*****g moron will be the hindrance to her plans.

Inalalayan siya ng lalaki, his hand on her back like telling everyone in the club she's belong to him.

Nang makalabas na sila, dumiretso ang dalawa sa kotse ng lalaki. Walang umimik sa kanilang dalawa hanggang sa nasa daan na sila.

Kurt didn't want to speak because he knew she will burst out any time.

Nakasandal ang isang braso nito sa pinto habang ang isa ang may hawak sa manibela, it's red light so he is tapping the stirring wheel using his three fingers at nagmistulang naka tingin sa labas, while Sabina just looking in front.

Nang hindi naka tiis ang dalaga, lumingon ito sa lalaki. Alam niyang umiiwas ito sa komprontasyon, pero kailangan niyang mag tanong.

Hindi siya iyong tipo ng babae na basta na lang sumasampa sa espekulasyon. She wanted clarification.

"What was that?" malumanay na saad nito.

Kurt cleared his throat "What?"

"What you did. Taking me from my project like I'm not sure what I was doing?" hindi napigilan ng babae ang bahagyang pagtaas ng kilay nito.

"Well, all I want was to be near you but when I saw them, I wanted to protect you—"

She cut him of.. As usual. The most hated attitude by Kurt— till he met her.

"Don't underestimate me Gazmen —"

"—I am not. I am just worried as f**k okay?!" napa lakas na boses na saad ng lalaki.

Hindi niya alam, he couldn't control his emotions right now! In his mind, what if she got hurt? What if they did something wrong with her? What if they put drugs on her drinks? A lot of what ifs.

That makes his anger issues step up. Wala siyang ka pase-pasensya pag dating sa babae.

Kung pwede lang ikulong ito sa mga palad niya para walang masamang mangyari dito, ginawa na niya!

That's how he loves her so much. So much that he could kill anyone who will harm her.

Sabina snorted.

"Did you just raised your voice at me?" laughing in disbelief.

"Hell no!" pero malakas pa din ang boses.

"Tss" imbes na magalit, napa ngiti ang dalaga dahil sa pulang pula ang mukha ng lalaki. Cute.. Magkahalong kaba siguro at kung ano man ang kahalo.

Alam kasi niya na nahihiya na naman itong umamin sa nararamdaman.

"Okay okay. Hayaan mo, sa susunod I will inform you na lang. Kalma" aniya sa lalaki at hinagod ang likod nito.

Hindi niya alam na sa simpleng hagod niya ay napakalma nga niya ang lalaki. She smiled genuinely when she felt he is calming down.

Kurt pfft "Ok"

Kurt continue driving when the green light appeared hanggang sa maka rating sila sa apartment ni Sabina.

It was 8 pm already and he decided to cook na lang instead of ordering food from outside. Anyway, he's a good cook. His original dream was to build restaurant for Christ sake but it didn't go as he plans.

Sometimes in this called life, you need to balance whether you end up living the way you like in misery or living in Gods plan with pleasure.

Sabina went to her room, showered and fix her self. Nang matapos ay pumunta siya sa kusina at yumakap sa likuran ng lalaki habang ito ay nagluluto.

Kurt smiling "you're not angry?" mababang saad nito.

Sabina kissed his back "Nah"

"Sure?" mahinang boses pa din. Parang hindi kasi siya sanay na hindi nang aaway ang dalaga.

She's too calm. Calmness that bringing fear inside him. Too calm like there's storm coming.

Huwag naman sana Lord.. Usal niya sa isipan.

Sabina just laugh, sweetly. "Yeph" and buried her face to his back.

"Thank you"

"No.. Thank you for worrying" mahinang sambit ng babae.

This kind of feeling is overwhelming. Sabina doesn't know if she's still living in real life or this is what they call dreamland.

Nang matapos nang mag luto ang lalaki, Sabina fix the table, Kurt took a water and glass. Magkaharap sila ngayon na kumakain habang nag uusap ng kung ano ano lang.

Tila ninanamnam ang bawat oras na sila'y magkasama.

They always see each other by the way but not like this time. Kasi sobrang busy nila pareho this past few weeks.

Kurt on the hospital and Sabina on her police duties. Halos hindi na magka tugma minsan ang oras nila kaya naman sobrang pagtataka niya kaninang sumulpot na lang ito sa club.

"Okay na ba 'yong bata na lagi mong sinasabi sa akin?" biglang tanong ng babae.

Kurt nodded "He is"

"Nice. E di nakaka tulog ka na niyan?" napangiti niyang saad.

Hindi daw kasi ito nakaka tulog ng mahimbing sa pag aalala doon sa bata. Nagtataka na din daw ito sa sarili niya kung bakit ganon na lang ang nararamdaman niyang kaba para sa bata.

While he almost live his whole career in times like that, mostly crucial than the kid has pero sobrang pagaalala ang nararamdaman nito.

"Slight"

"Ano ba sabi nung nanay?" kunot noong saad ng babae.

"Sabing ano?" Anang Kurt na sa sarili nitong pinggan nakatingin habang nilalagyan ng kanin ang kutsara at sumubo.

"Nasaan yung tatay?" anang Sabina kapagkuwan ay tumayo at kumuha ng juice sa ref at baso, inilapag nito ang para sa lalaki at nilalagyan nito iyon ng juice.

"I don't know" ibinaba nito ang kutsara at tumitig sa dalaga.

"What?" nagtatakang tanong ng dalaga sa kanya saka umupo.

"I did a blood test" marahang saad ni Kurt saka uminom ng juice.

"And?"

"Bukas ko pa malalaman ang result. But I just wanted to tell you that I'm not at ease"

"Why? Don't tell me may naka one night stand ka at anak mo 'yon kaya ka takot?" naka taas kilay na saad ng dalaga.

Huwag naman Jesus.. Piping panalangin niya.

"Im clean" walang anumang saad ng lalaki. "But I almost know who the father is"

"ha"

Kurt stared at Sabina's eyes "My brother" walang anumang saad nito.

"What do you mean your brother?" huli na nang mapag tanto ng dalaga na wala nga pala siyang kaalam alam sa background ng lalaki.

All she knew was him and nothing more.

"I have twin brother, one sister and another one brother. I still have my father but my mother is not around anymore. I'm sorry if I didn't have the chance to tell you my kind of life babe—"

"—no, it's okay—she wave her hand on the air—Siguro nga hindi pa tayo dumaan diyan sa phase na 'yan. Baka nga ngayon lang tayo napadpad sa banda riyan" naka ngiting saad ng dalaga.

"Back to your brother–Syempre may pagka chismosa siya kaya mas gusto niyang malaman ang unang paksa—how do you know.. I mean, paano ka nagka hinala na anak niya' yon?" naka kunot noo niyang saad.

"Me and my brother have this kind of blood that's not everyone have. It's rare. And the kid is the same. Actually, my sister wanted to donate because she have the same blood-type like me and my twin but since she's pregnant, she couldn't donate anymore.

So, she asked me and my twin if we can. And as a doctor, I got suspicious. So I took a DNA sample. To be fair, I took mine and my twin's.

Although I know I'm clean, I needed assurance"

"Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

"Babe, you're my life now. I don't want any trouble coming our way. I want to share everything with you and be honest. I will not hide this kind of stuff, believe me, all I have in my mind is to see you happy. "

The truth is, Sabina wanted to cry, right now.. But ahe blink and blink just to not let her tears coming down.

To think that he is sharing his thoughts to her is so damn green flag. Kung pwede lang, ngayon din pakasalan na niya ang lalaki e.

Pero nasa tamang oras at maling pagkakataon sila.

Tinapos na ni Sabina ang pagkain at sinabihan ang lalaki na pumunta na lang sa sala at siya na ang bahala sa kusina, nag okay naman ang binata at hinayaan siya sa gusto niya.

While she's washing the dishes, it appeared to her mind that she needs to know Kurt's whereabouts. Parang may something na pumasok sa isip niya.

She took her phone and message Shaina.

Sab: Do me a favor bru.

SM: Who do you want to kill?

Sab: Gaga. Not to kill. Just to know whereabouts.

SM: Are you that serious over him?

Sab: WDYM?

And she didn't text back. Ganon lang ka simple. Basic. Alam na alam ni Sabina and she count 1.2.3...

And her phone rings.. She tssk. And thinking why she already know who she is referring to?

Ahh. Talk about how and why. Of course, she's SHAINA. The Legendary Weapon of Bautista clan kung hacking and computers ang pinag uusapan.

"What the hell?" Sabina can see through her voice that she's frowning bug time.

"Need to know his background before I dive in his life" mahina niyang saad.

Ayaw niyang marinig siya ng lalaki. Palinga linga pa siya sa gawi ng pinto to make sure that she is safe to talk.

"You mean, all this time you didn't bother to know his inner, outer up and down kind of life?!" sigaw. Oo, sigaw na saad ng babae.

She cut the call and texted her..

'He's here. Just do it.'
