47: The Serious Situation

Lumipas ang mga oras. Natapos ang pagkain nang walang nagkakasakitan maliban sa mga personal na atake. Naubos ang pasensya ng ilan at ang ilan ay natuwa dahil sa kani-kanilang mga nalaman. Maging ang langit ay mukhang napapagod na rin. Kumukulimlim at nagbabanta pa ang ulan.

"We have a lot to talk about." Si Vane.

Tumabi siya sa akin sa may gilid kung saan nakatunghay ako sa kawalan. We are far from the others. Natutulog muli si Himig at si Rich ay hindi pa nagigising. My other three agents are on the other side having their talks habang si Amaya ay natutulog sa lap ni Amugay.

"Hmm, about what?"

"About Rich. I saw what you two did at the Yasamin City." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya but somehow do not feel nervous about it. "I was just watching, Klara. I was there all that time and please, I hope this won't become a bigger issue."

"Ah kaya pala simula nang makarating ka rito sa barko ay hindi mo na ako kinausap and your eyes are mad. I'm observing, Vane."

Tumikhim siya. Pumunta sa harapan ko habang nakacross arms. His reaction seems like a mad man. A jealous man in my perspective. Sandali pa kaming nagkatitigan. Bumubuo ng tensyon para gamitin sa nagbabadyang seryosong usapan.

"I am mad, Klara."

"Why would you be?" I chuckled. Ginaya ang pagkakacross arms niya bago muling magsalita. "At any rate, my business and his business are not your business. Hindi ka konektado sa mga bagay na gagawin ko, sa mga desisyong pinapasok ko. And even if Rich continues what he's doing all this time, wala kang pakialam. He can cheat all he wants. Wala kang pakialam doon."

"Not with you, Klara. Not with you."

"So okay lang na kay Vielle? Kay Vintage-"

"That's not my point. Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabing kasal ka na. Then why lower yourself to his level? Cheating isn't your niche and at least do not be linked into one. Masyado nang matunog ang lovestory mo. Don't do this shit now."

I let out a little laugh. Hiwakan ang kaniyang pisngi at hinayaang maglakbay ang kamay ko roon. Marahan at nanunukso.

"Do you know what he said to me? Rich told me he's ready to play with me, leave her woman, and I can use him under my rules. He basically bargained with me." I said. "Haven't things sink in your brains, Vane? Akala ko ba ay matalino ka? Hindi mo ba naisip na baka gusto ko lang siyang gamitin and until she leaves her woman, until their relationship be ruined, him be crazy over me, and the neglected woman be broken, I'll stop playing but keeps on using him still? And then, you can have the broken woman for yourself."

He sighed. Marahang tinanggal ang kamay ko but didn't let go of it. Mayamaya pa ay inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin. His arms extended to grab the railing and keep on that position still. Kung sino ang makakakita sa amin ngayon ay malamang na iisiping mayroong kakaibang namamagitan sa amin. I got the chance to stare at his face longer and clearer. No woman can deny that this man is stunningly gorgeous and if ever they are on my shoes right now, they'll get distracted. Even worse, butterflies will start crawling on their stomachs.
