[26] Anger

[26] ANGER

KURT'S POV

"Crystalline... Get your hair relaxed at its best!"

Napangiti nalang ako matapos naming mapanuod ang bagong TV commercial ni Crystal. Though it's somehow maddening in my part because it has an appropriate scene for me, I got happy of its outcome still. I can't believe that she'll get into entertainment that quick. Parang ilang buwan pa lang ang nakalipas, kasa-kasama ko pa siya. We're supposed to be a family until sh*t happened.

... I suddenly remember how Crystal and I met unexpectedly. What happened yesterday kept on bugging even in my sleep. I still couldn't believe that she's the one who rescued my dog... and it's supposedly our dog, also.

"Yan yung sinasabi ni Princess noon na kamukha ko ah!"

What Toffer said caught my attention. "Kamukha?"

"Oo. Crush niya daw yan eh. Ano nga bang pangalan nyan?"

Jake smacked his arm to stop him from thinking. "Kailan niya sinabi yan? Kapal mo ah!"

"G-ago, sinabi niya talaga yun. Kailan nga ba yun?" He paused and looked away, seemed to be remembering something. "Aha! Nung nasa Tagaytay tayo para sa baby shower ni Baby Ky –-- Potek! Ba't ka nambabatok, Jake?!"

"Tss. Huwag na kasing madaldal. Ibabalik pa ang nakaraan eh."

Napailing nalang ako sa mga pinagsasasabi nila. Alam nilang sensitive pa rin ako hanggang ngayon tuwing pinag-uusapan namin si Kyra. I can't help not to be sensitive when we talk about my child... The memories are still fresh. I can't just drop those off my mind.

"Bakit mo nga pala kami pinatawag, Kurt?" Alex suddenly asked.

Among my gangmates, only Toffer, Jake, Derrick and Alex came over my unit. May pinagkakaabalahan kasi yung iba kaya 'di sila nakapunta. I sat on the couch next to Toffer and with a smile on my lips, I said, "Can you help me with Crystal?"

All eyes are on me as though they're studying my facial expression. Napangiti tuloy ako lalo.

"What? Can you help me? She's back and I think that's for good."

"Of course, we'll help you," nakatawang sabi ni Derrick na kanina pa nananahimik. "Nakakatawa lang, Master. Parang last year, ganito rin yung scenario niyo ni Princess. Yun nga lang, you did it your way. You didn't ask for our help."

My lips pursed in confusion, but eventually, I nodded my head as the idea shoved into my mind. Okay, I remember what everyone told me. Kinulit-kulit ko raw noon si Crystal pagkauwi niya galing Germany.

I smiled at the thought. "Then, tell me what had I done to make her come back to me. Maybe, it'll work this time again."

I don't want to tell them what happened between me and Gail yesterday. It's better if I'd tell them about it once everything's alright and settled.

"Kurt," Alex called out my name and our sight shifted to him. Serious expression plastered on his face. "Kung titimbangin natin kung anong nangyari 4 years ago pati na rin yung nangyari 6 months ago, ano ang mas matindi?"

I fell silent and turned my head down. It feels sh*t when you want to remember anything but you just can't. That sucks bigtime. I'm just relying on the things everyone had told me.

"Namatayan kayo ng anak. Mas grabe 'to kesa sa nangyari four years ago. Hindi natin alam kung naka-move on na siya o hindi pa, pero alam kong masakit pa rin yun para sa kanya hanggang ngayon."
