#MultiverseInterludeChapter08



I have been into different worlds. Different experiences in life. The parallel universe where I found myself is the opposite of who I am today.


If I wasn't the best like anyone in this world. I do in Multiverse. I don't care anymore if it was just my illusion. The important thing for me that matters to me at this point is that I finally have a hope


Kumalawa siya sa yakap at tinignan ako. Hindi pa rin nawala ang pag-aalala sa kanyang mga mata. I know he wanted to get mad at me for not telling pero he seems like he is just stopping himself from doing it.


Ngumiti ako sa kanya ang nilapat ang mga palad sa kanyang mukha.


"I've missed you," sabi niya at nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng isinandal niya ang kanyang ulo sa aking balikat. 


"I once have to you too,"


That's the only thing I could say in return of his solace. As I always reminds myself that; ayoko na. Hindi ko naman rin gugustohing paasahin siya kahit na mahal ko... ay hindi na talaga kayang ipilit pa.


"Your father is an asshole for kidnapping you," sabi pa niya na parang batang nagsusumbong sa nanay niya.


Back then, he does not believe what I say every time my father was doing me wrong. But now? He even called him an asshole.


"Anyways, gutom ka na ba? We can eat at Eris Mia bar if you want?" I said to change the topic.


"Alright, come on." He said as he held my hands.


Lihim akong napangiti sa ginawa niya. Hindi nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ko hanggang sa makarating kami sa restobar. We picked the roof top side dahil marami silang customers ngayon na nag iinuman sa main floor ng Eris Mia.


My Avo was the one in charge of ordering our food. It has always been like that. Avo's always doing this on our dates. Dati pa lang ay suki na kami ng Eris Mia at ang hindi ko inakala ay hangang ngayon rin.


"I ordered Boeuf Bourguignon. Your favorite at all time," aniya habang nakatingin sa baba ng roof top.


Napatitig ako ng matagal sa kanya at naisip bigla ang kanyang sinabi.


Why did he say that it was my fave at all times? He does not remember me as his past lover, but he seems like he does. Did he travel in time too? He can't be.


A Sin Vida's allies can't do that.


"Was it Chartreuse for the drinks?" I asked out immediately and my hands slowly traveled to his hair and brushed them.


Napalingon siya sa ginawa ko at nagsalitang gulat. Ngumiti ako at binitawan siya.


"Y-yeah," nauutal niyang sambit. "Okay, good."


Maya-maya pa ay na serve na rin ang pagkain na inorder na 'min. Tuwang-tuwa kami pareho nung dumating iyon. We didn't bother each other at nag focus lang ang attention na 'min sa pagkain na nasa table.


We are always like this. 


Suddenly turn into immature human beings when it comes to our favorite foods, lalo na sa drinks. Sometimes we'd share if we don't starve ourselves too much. Pero kapag marami kaming ginagawa dati dahil sa school works at nakakalimutan nang kumain ay halos mawalan na kami ng pake sa isat-isa dahil sa gutom.


I miss those times to be honest. Pero winasak ko ang lahat ng iyon, at hindi lang kami ang winasak ko kundi ang sarili ko 'din.


"Your Father didn't feed you?" Natigilan ako sa pagsubo ng pagkain ng binasag niya ang katahimikan sa pagitan naming dalawa. 


I nodded and continued eating my food, moments; I heard him murmured some curses and I don't know how many time he have been chuckling hanggang sa kalahati na lang iyong pagkain ko sa bowl.


"Ano bang problema?" tanong ko sa kanya dahil naiilang na ako sa pag-akto niya. "Isn't it obvious? Galit ako," and the audacity of this freaking guy to roll his eyes before he could feed himself another spoonful of his food.


"So, you're galit 'nga? And why does it seems like it has to do something with me?" Mataray kong sambit, and I also rolled my eyes at him when he looked at me.


Akala niya siguro na siya lang ang marunong manipat ng mata. Umirap siya at sinubo ang huling kutsara nang nasa bowl niya at sinabayan niya iyon ng pag inom at tumingin ng seryoso sa 'kin.


I crossed my arms together and positioned both of my legs in a number 4 style as I look at him straight and fierce.


"I was actually thinking about your offer Mr. Martinez," Panimula ko at kagat ko ang ibabang labing tinitignan siya.


"Okay," he nodded and crossed his arms while looking at me.


"Since ayaw mo ng kapalit dahil libre mo lang iyong gagawin sa 'kin. Napaisip ako bigla na what if ikaw na lang gagawa ng kapalit na iyon?" Kumunot ang noo niya at ngumisi ako.


Bigla ko kasing naisip ang mission ko sa VS. I have to find my brother's girlfriend that is soon-to-be wife. kailangan ko talaga siyang hanapin dahil ngayon ko lang na realize na hindi ako pwedeng aalis sa VS o ma kick out, because I will need the gang and the commander to assist me on my final book of life.


It will be a secret. Means I'll keep it to myself at kahit wala sino man ang makaka-alam non. Only the commander can know that secret of mine.


"Deal-seal. My concern is you, as long as I could save you-the best as I can." malapad akong napangiti at nagpaligoy ng tingin sa kawalan dahil sa sinabi niya.


"In return, you have to help me find my brother's girlfriend who's currently carrying their child," walang prenong sabi ko sa kanya.


I was shocked as hell by his reaction. His eyes widened and his mouth agape a little. 


I even wondered more why because he even shrugged and looked away from my gaze.


"What's the problem with that?" Hindi siya sumagot at umiling ulit. Hinayaan ko na lang.
