"Huwag mo namang takutin yang pinsan ko Bautista, maawa ka naman ui." naiiling na sambit ni Jonas sa kanya.
"Man, I know you are allergic to woman like her, but can you please be nice to her?, she's my little sister" napa buga ito ng hangin. "f**k man, hindi ko alam kung bakit naging magulo nag lahat, matagal na plano na ito e!"
Roderick just look at Jonas, alam niyang hindi makatarungan ang ginawa ng big boss, but then, only him has the power to do it.. No one would ever dare to question what's his plan—it's his personal life after all.
Whatever reasons he has, they need to respect him. He's the king of the unit. He's the big boss. The founder.. —and he is not part of that mission in the first place.
He, Jonas and Goldwyn was the best buddies. Since the day they entered PMA. Graduated till now.
Jonas ended up in philippine army—the hot and hunk captain according to him.
Goldwyn is now the Cutest and yummiest captain in the Philippine navy —his words of course. Love yourself daw e.
While he entered philippine air force –A captain too.
They put the half of their lives to achieve where they are now.
"Nah , she will live. Don't worry" he drank his beer. He just want to tease her, that way, he can save himself.
Naiiling na ngumisi si Jonas.
"Alagaan mo yan bata, lagot ka kay condottiero—the Italian of leader or warlord—'pag nagkataon"
"tssk. Bakit ba kasi dinawit niyo na naman ako, matagal na akong walang balita sa inyo. Mga dalawang linggo na e, tapos you will crash in my house just like that? Ano to, bahay mo, na pwede ka lang umuwi kung gusto mo?" he tssk. "f**k you Alagon! Mahiya ka nga kahit konti lang!"
Jonas chuckled— Just like that.
" Ano ba kasing nangyari sa plano niyo? Bulilyaso o talagang na plano na ganon ang mangyayari?"
Nagpakawala ito ng malalim na buntong-hininga.
"Yeah . To be like that— Wedding crash". Pero mas gusto ko sana na sasabihin ni Goldi na bading siya eh! " humagalpak ito ng tawa."That's the main plan yeah!"
" Sinong bading?! " sikmat ni Goldwyn na nagmula sa kung saan. Talaga naman 'tong gagong' to, pakalat kalat na, pasulpot sulpot pa—bagay lang ang code name nito— crocodile, susulpot kapag gutom at kailangang mang huli ng pagkain.
Napailing na lang si Roderick.
" Fuckk. Papalitan ko na lahat ng lock at fingerprints ng mga pinto ko. Pati mga code. Tang'na, ano tong bahay ko, bahay bakasyunan niyo? Mahiya naman kayo!" tumawa lang ang dalawa at nagkanya kanyang inom na.
"Rod, ibibigay ko na sayo ang blessing ko"
Napalingon siya kay Jonas at kumunot noo.
"What the f**k are you saying?!" umakto siyang gulat na gulat kahit alam na niya kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito.
"Pakasalan mo na, kahit bukas pa, 'kala mo hindi ko napansin kung paano mo titigan? Lang'ya naman pre, lalaki din ako, alam kong maganda yang pinsan ko, pero kapag 'yan umiyak ng dahil sayo, magtago ka na lang sa ulap, huwag ka ng bumaba pa, kakatayin talaga kitang hinayupak ka" Jonas grinned.
"Fuckk yeah? Ano na Rod, na love at first sight ka na?"
"huh? Ano yun?" pa inosente niyang tanong.
The two look at him— Flatly.
Nagkibit balikat lang siya.
Pero ang totoo, namalik mata talaga siya kaninang pagpasok niya. Those dark brown wide eyes. With long and thick curly eyelashes, pointed nose. Heart shaped red lips na parang kaysarap papakin at halikan. Senseless. Sexy deep cleavage na kitang kita sa suot nitong black gown –those looks that he dreamed of, long long time ago..
Hindi niya halos maihiwalay ang kanyang paningin dito. She looks stunning.
Maybe he got hypnotized by her eyes? who knows.
"Tama kami hindi ba?, pero simpleng paalala lang parekoy, anak ni kangaroo— condottiero code name— yan. Kaya ingat ingat ka diyan" sambit ni Goldwyn.
Roderick just pout and drink his beer. "Kangaroo my ass!"
The two just tsskd.
So what? Hindi ako natatakot.
"Mag grocery ka bukas Alagon, may importante akong lakad bukas."
"Lalayas din ako mamaya lang ng kaunti" tumingin ito kay Goldwyn. "Ikaw Goldi baby, sama ka?"
"Yeph" sagot nito na nakatingin sa may bote.
"Problem buddy?" Roderick asked.
Aside from his cousins, he has friends who is like a brother to him—and more in terms of work. But this two was his buddies since then.
They grew together in their fields. As as hindi sila lumalabag sa batas, they help each other under the table. In legal way.
"Nah , some old stuff." Goldwyn said. Alam nilang matagal na nitong hinahanap ang tunay nitong mga magulang dahil nalaman niyang ampon lang pala ito.
"No news? Kaya mo pa ba? Dito lang kami bud" sambit ni Jonas.
"yeph bud, magsabi ka lang. Babaan mo ng konti ang presyo nang pride chicken m—what the f**k!" napabuga siya ng iniinom niyang alak ng sinuntok siya ni Goldwyn.
"f**k you man! Balak mo ba akong patayin gago ka?" he snapped at him. Ngingisi ngisi lang ang loko.
Ayaw na ayaw kasi nitong napagsasabihan ng ma pride. Pero totoo naman. Kahit anong hirap nito ay ayaw parin maghingi ng tulong.
But they respect him that much. As long as they know that he can still handle, they don't interfere.
That's the reason why they didn't fell apart. They know the word respect and its number one in their dictionary.
"I maybe pull some more strings if after one month and still no news." tumungga ito saka pabagsak na ipinatong ang bote sa mesa. "nakakapagod na ding maghanap e. I'm draining. Hindi ko magamit ang korona ko" he tsskd.
"Basta nandito lang kami, tutulong kami 'pag gusto mo ng tumanggap ng tulong mula sa amin" Roderick said.
Alam niya kung gaano kahirap ang maghanap. Ramdam niya ang paghihirap nito dahil nasa pareho silang sitwasyon.
Ang kaibahan lang nila, kriminal ang hinahanap niya at magulang ang sa kaibigan niya. —actually, lahat naman sila ganoon ang klase ng trabaho, may iba nga lang siyang pinag kaka abalahang bantayan ang bawat kilos sa nakaraang mga taon, na kina iinipan na niya, masyado nang mabagal ang pag usad ng hawak niyang mission —but then, he doesn't want somebody to engaged on this mission, lalo na kapag isang inosente.
"Alagon, sabihan mo yang pinsan mo ha, ayoko sa lahat 'yong nanlalalake" Jonas look at him flatly.
"oo sige na, pagsabihan ko, idikit ko pa sa noo niya' bawal manlalake, magagalit si King Roderick ' gano' n. Nakakahiya naman sa'yo!" sikmat nito.
"As if naman, may nobyo 'yan, last time I checked, all guys who wants to mingle with her e nahaharang" kumunot ang noo nito na tila nag isip ng malaliman. "I'm wondering who did those, kung hindi bugbog, tinatakot o hindi naman e lantarang pinagsasabihan" Jonas tssk while massaging his chin na para bang nandoon ang kasagutan sa mga tanong nito.
He shrugged his shoulder. "You know me man, I'm good, but I can kill if I need to"
Jonas grin.
Anyayare sa gagong 'to?
"My love, so sweet. Parang may mali. Hindi ko lang ma pin point e, ahm" —umakto itong nag iisip.
"—Are you gay?"
Naibuga niya ang laman ng bibig niya kay Goldwyn na agad naman siyang sinuntok sa balikat. Hindi na niya pinansin ang pag sasalita nito na alam niyang puro mura lang naman.
Umubo siya ng umubo hanggang sa may nag abot sa kanya ng tubig. Agad niyang kinuha at ininom. Bottoms up.
"f**k! Papatayin kitang tang'na ka Jonas! Lumayas ka sa pamamahay ko hayop kang animal ka!" he's still catching his breath. And his damn friend is just chuckling.
"Bukas na. Tinatamad pa akong lumayas at mag Dora e" walang buhay na sambit nito.
"Are you —gay?" Roderick stilled. His heart is racing. He can feel un ease in the moment. Dahan dahan siyang lumingon. "well? –are you?" she ask again. Napakurap kurap siya. I am what?
The woman smiled. Pinitik nito ang noo niya saka lang siya nahimas masan. Ngumisi siya saka lumingon kay Jonas na nakangisi lang na nanonood sa kanila ng pinsan nito.
"Alagon, matalas ang dila ng pinsan mo" he chuckled and look to Yeisha.
"You want to know if I'm a gay or not?" he asked—flatly. She nodded.
"tssk, you're lucky today, I don't have the mood to show you heaven and hell. Woman, if you want to stay in my wings, try to cut your tongue, or else—I'll lock them with mine" pagkasabi no'n ay lumayas na siya sa kusina.
Tinapunan niya ng tingin ang dalawang lalake na may sinusupil na ngiti sa mga labi. "f**k you two!" he snapped at them.
"loveyou bud!"
"L U my man!"
Sabay na sambit ng dalawa saka tumawa. "I hate you!" he said.
"Yeah . Yeah. And the cats can bark!" nytie man! " the two said in unison.
Fuckk.. I'm gay?? Me??
Hindi na niya pinansin ang mga 'to at pumasok na siya sa silid niya.
Bahala na sila sa buhay nila.. Matatanda na sila e.. But in his mind and soul, one of this days, he can't hold himself anymore.
Ahh. Trouble. Honestly, he was dreaming this —the woman with him.. Under in one household. His home..
In his wings, and yet he couldn't touch.
So Near and yet so far.
How life is going to be??
He took his mobile that keeps on beeping.
JOSHUA IS HUNK
The hell??
AdrianPogi: who the hell told you that you're a hunk.. Pendejo?!!
Shaina Queen : in your dreams.. Baliw ka na @joshua..
Geoff Eigenman Not the actor : hell yeah! Fuckk.. Joshua, makakatay kita.. Mas guwapo ako d'on ah?? Isang paligo mga gano'n!
Napailing na lang siya sa kaguluhan ng mga ito.
He put a lot of middle finger and guns and send it to their group chat and off his messenger.
He sat down into his huge bed, he satred at the ceiling as he is trying not to think what happened years ago.
Fuckk it!
He stood up and went out to his room, he can't calm himself by just staring on the ceiling down to the floor.
Damn memories!!
As he is walking on the aisle going to the stairs, he bump at someone.
He automatically wrapped his shoulders on her waist.
Fuckk woman!
Yeisha holding her breath as the man who bump on her and now wrapping his so hard as rock arms on her waist is breathing on her face!
Oh my God!!
"Breath!" sambit nito at pumaypay ang mabango nitong hininga sa mukha niya.
Ulam.. Sabaw!
"Eh—er"
He chuckled. Or did she just heard it wrong?
Binitawan na siya nito saka mabilis pa sa kidlat na bumaba sa hagdan but she's frowning on the thought that she didn't hear any sound from his footsteps.
Who the heck is this man??
"Hallelujah!" sambit niya saka ngumisi at pumasok na sa kuwarto niya.
She opened the glass door and went out to the small veranda and looking on the sky.
'Buti pa kayo, walang problema.
Kausap niya ang mga bitwin sa langit na nagkikislapan.
Hi mama.. Are you there? How are you? Me, I'm still fine and fighting for this life. Till when? I don't know..
She closed her eyes as a tear fell down to her cheeks.
Niyakap niya ang sarili habang naka tingala at naka pikit.
Shett.. Again and again!
Instead of her mother's face, the face of the big man is filling her mind!
Fanculo!
Seriously, what's happening to me??
Since the moment she saw him, hindi na nito pinatahimik ang isipan niya.
Sometimes, there's a flashing blurd memories on her mind but she couldn't find it on.
Sumasakit lang ang kasi ang ulo niya kapag pilit niya itong inaalala.
So, it ended up focusing her mind on present than to pass out on her headaches.
"Buhay.. Minsan gusto ko na lamg matulog kaysa gising" sambit niya habang naka pikit.
"Matulog ka—"
"—Ay palakang panot!! Namo ka!" tili niya ng may nagsalita sa malapit.
"Last time I checked, may buhok pa ako a!" sambit nito.
"Gago!" sikmat niya saka pumasok sa loob.
She caressed her chest, she's panting.
Heck! How come I didn't notice the veranda on my side??
