KNIGHTS I-4: Distinct Rhythm (Bullet Knights)

Epilogue

Bullet

"Kuya Max! I told you not to break Shantal's heart! Bakit mo dinump ang bestfriend ko?"

Inangat ko ang tingin nang marinig ang boses na 'yon mula sa taas. I immediately saw Max's little sister, it's Maxreign.

I suppress myself from smiling while looking at her. She looks fully grown up now, a beautiful 18 year-old woman.

Nilihis ko ang atensyon nang makitang bumaling ito sa akin, I focused my eyes on Khalil who's busy with Niccolo right now.

"Reign, hindi ko gusto si Shantal kaya ayos lang 'yon. Hindi ko puwedeng magustuhan ang kung sinu-sino na lang, alam mo 'yan." I heard Max answered.

I turned my gaze to Maxreign once again, she looks very fragile and beautiful when I saw her pouting her seductive lips.

Fuck, she's just 18 years old Bullet, stop fantasizing over Maxreign. You are 20, for fuck's sake.

Minura ko ang sarili nang kusang tumayo ang katawan ko para bungguin siya. I felt how she stiffened when she saw me. I know how much she likes me, and fuck it, I love it.

"I'm s-sorry po kung paharang-harang ako. Sorry," she bowed her head multiple times like it's her fault.

I licked my lower lip to stop myself from kissing her when I smelled her scent. Fuck, Bullet, you're not a fucking pervert.

Lumayo na ako sa kaniya bago ko pa siya pakasalan. Maxreign is really a tease even if she's not doing anything to me. Her small gestures will surely kill me. Even her presence can make me shiver in fucking disgrace for being addicted to her.

Diretsyahan kong nilagok ang isang basong tubig habang kinakalma ang sarili. Max Arazon is here, and I need to control myself before I can do anything else to Reign.

"Kuya Bullet?"

Mariin kong pinikit ang mga mata nang marinig ang boses niya sa likuran ko. Bakit ba siya sunod nang sunod? Kaonti na lang susunggaban ko na talaga 'to.

"What?" I asked him in a cold voice.

She has to stay away from me before I become aggressive. I might not be able to stop myself especially that no one is around right now.

"S-Sabi po ni kuya Max, may pag-uusapan daw po kayong l-lahat," she said while stuttering.

I walked towards her without any warning. Tumigil ako sa mismong harapan niya bago ilapit ang sarili.

"Please me, then."

"P-Po?" I saw a glint in her eyes and that's freaking wonderful for me.

"Say please."

"Please."

Umangat ang sulok ng labi ko nang marinig 'yon. It sounds divine and heavenly to my ears.

"Okay, then." Mabilis ko siyang nilagpasan bago ko pa siya itanan.

Max's little sister will surely drive me crazy. I wonder if I'll be able to wait for her to graduate. I'm sure I won't be able to wait that fucking long.

MARIIN kong pinikit ang mga mata habang buhat buhat ang panganay na anak. Raed is a clever kid, he can handle himself without stressing me and my beautiful wife.

But seeing my youngest right now, it makes me want to faint right away. "Sadge," I called his name.

"Yes old man?" nakangising tanong nito.

"What? I'm not even old!" galit na sagot ko.

He just sticked his tongue out before teasing me. My wife on the other hand laughed her ass out while looking at my reaction.

"Hubby, bakit naman nagagalit ka agad sa anak mo? Alam mo namang ganyan talaga ang tawag niya sa 'yo," she said.

Binitawan ko si Raed na busy sa pagbuo ng rubik's cube, I went closer to Sadge before carrying him. This naughty little kid and his tricks.

"Baby, why are you spoiling your son like that? You're tolerating his behaviour," reklamo ko habang pinupogpog ng halik ang mukha ng asawa ko.

I kissed her lips gently before kissing her forehead. "Hindi ko naman siya ini-spoil, ah? Ang bait bait kaya ng bunso natin."

She took Sadge from me before playing with him. Napangiti ako sa kakulitan nilang dalawa.

"Mabait? You let Silhouette took care of him for straight 1 week and look what happened to him, hindi naman ganiyan magsalita dati 'yan, pero ngayon parang sinapian ng sampung Silhouette," I said in frustration.

"Atleast kay Silhouette, gusto mo kay ate Saellyn? E mas diretsyo ang bunganga ni ate Saellyn. Bargas si Silhouette pero mas malala si ate Sae magsalita," she said while pouting her lips.

I chuckled playfully. Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang baywang niya bago siya halikan sa sentido.

"Thank you for letting me experience this wonderful life, baby. You completed me, and I am thankful for that. Thank you for being strong, kahit apat agad ang pinagbuntis mo, you managed to gave birth to them and survive," I whispered to her ear.

She smiled at me sweetly.

"Happy new year, Bullet."

"Happy new year, baby."

I shut my eyes tight after the fireworks flashed right infront of my eyes.

This is the life that I want. Maxreign and I might have a distinct rhythm, distinct perception, distinct talents and distinct skills, but at the end. I'll always choose her, over and over again.

THE END
