TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 24

Lumingon si Tito sa akin. "What?"

"Darlene had a boyfriend. Secret relationship." Hindi ko naman siya nilalaglag, sinasabi ko lang.

"What?!" Tito can't believe what I said.

"She had a boyfriend when she was in Laguna. He's a fucker, and you know that fucking ugly guy forced Darlene to do his happines?" I sat on the sofa, getting irritated now. "Good thing Darlene didn't agreed and broke up with that fucking ugly guy."

"He forced on that fucking..." He couldn't finish his sentence, so I nodded.

"Yeah, he forced her. Mabuti na lang talaga hindi pumayag si Darlene sa gusto ng lalaking 'yon. He really deserves to be in hell, and he even said unpleasant words towards her." Bakit ba kasi nagpakita pa ang Jude na 'yon? He should stay in hell.

"I didn't know that... am I too busy for everything? Fuck, I know now why she always going outside."

I can go outside with Darlene too. If I know sa cheap na resto dinadala ni Jude si Darlene. Unlike mine, I can take her to different restaurants. Kung gusto ni Darlene na mag-date kami sa ibang bansa, ayos lang.

"I will talk to her tomorrow morning." Tito said.

For sure, lilitisin si Darlene bukas ng umaga.

"But yeah you can court my daughter, just don't make her cry," Paalala ni Tito. "She's not showing herself, I mean I am aware of what she's doing. Minsan lang siya umiiyak... lalo na kung nasasaktan na siya. Kapag umiyak na siya, it's matic... she's really hurt."

I can't make a promise.

"I can't promise but I'll try my best," I said. "I'm going now."

Lumabas agad ako para umuwi na sa condo. I drove safely at my condo, basta basta na lang ako nahiga sa kama dahil inaantok na rin ako.

Paano ko kaya tatanungin si Darlene? I scratched my head. "Damn, ang hirap naman." I whispered.

Tumayo ako dahil panay ang katok sa labas ng condo. Kung kailan gabi doon may kakatok. Si Dash ang bumungad nang buksan ko ang pinto.

"What are you still doing here?" I asked.

"Dash, bebe boy!"

Lumingon kaming dalawa ni Dash sa sumigaw.

"Putang ina naman, hanggang dito ba naman nakasunod kayong lahat?!" Dash faced them with his irritated face.

"Gusto ko lang malaman kung um-oo ba si Tito noong tinanong ni Nix na pwedeng ligawan si Darlene. Sana bastedin ka," Harvey smirked.

"Fuck you," I raised my middle finger. "Umalis nga kayo dito."

"Ayaw namin. Tsaka, makikisagap lang ako ng chismis. Oo ba o hindi?"

"Tito agreed," I said.

"Congrats! Ay, wala pa pala." Basta basta sila pumasok sa loob ng condo ko at dumiretso sa kitchen.

Kukunin na naman nila ang stock ko sa ref.

I closed my door and went to the living room. I sat on the sofa while glaring at them. "What the fuck are you all doing here? Umuwi na nga kayo sa inyo. Nakakabwisit kayo."

"Aw, relax ka lang," Arvin said while eating.

"You forgot this," Dash showed me something. "Dude, you forgot your black forum ID at the underground. Buti walang nakakita, I mean may balak na ngang pumulot buti naunahan ko. Tsaka, 'di ba... may tauhan ang kaaway ng pamilya mo? The Almendral Clan?"

"Yeah, why?"

"The one member of that clan was outside of your house when I went to your house earlier. Kaya nga nagpadala ako ng bodyguards sa bahay mo."
