Chapter 3

PABLO

I woke up and check the time. It's 10 minutes before 6 am. Nauna pa 'kong nagising kaysa sa pagtunog ng alarm clock ko. Your body will really get used to your everyday routine.

It's weekday so I need to go to class.

I took a shower, fix myself, and go to the kitchen.

I saw Stell also wearing his uniform and ready to get to university. There's food on the table.

"Okay ka na ba?" tanong ko dito.

Tumango ito. "Yep." he answered. "Thank you nga pala dun sa kahapon."

I sat on the chair and started eating.

"Alin dun? Yung car incident or your heat?" pang aasar ko dito.

Hinatak nito ang isang upuan at umupo na rin sa tapat ko. Nagsimula na din itong kumain.

Humaba ang nguso nito. "Sige sige. Papayag akong alaskahin mo ngayon dahil may atraso 'ko sayo." sinamaan niya ako ng tingin.

Medyo natawa ako. "Biro lang." sabi ko. "You don't have to say thank you. I'm your brother and to top of it, your twin so it's my responsibility to take care of you." I said.

Stell softens his gaze. "Salamat kuya."

Malambot talaga ang puso ko pagdating sa kanya. Ganto talaga siguro pag kambal. His pain is my pain. What goes around, comes around and it's inevitable. There are times that I believe that we are one. Kaso pag naalala ko how strong Stell is, I erase that in my mind. We're different. Totally different.

"Tinagalog mo lang eh." hirit ko. "I told you to stop thanking me." I said.

I checked the time on my watch and stood up.

"Let's go." aya ko dito. "We're gonna be late." kinuha ko ang gamit ko at susi ng kotse. Agad ding sumunod sakin si Stell. We leave our condo.

We both have 8 am class during mondays so sabay kami pumasok.

We rode the car.

"Stell." tawag ko sa atensyon nito.

"Hmm." he hummed in reply. He's using the phone.

"Why don't we go to your doctor this coming weekend?" I suggested.

I'm still bothered about his actions during heat. I know i've experienced that a lot of times since he has irregular heat cycles but I want to check if we could use some help to tame it faster.

Bahagya itong nag isip. "Mas maganda nga siguro." pag sang ayon nito. "Pwede kong itanong kung I can take more than he prescribed since it has effect naman kahit papano, right?" he asked.

I nodded. "You're getting better and better in handling your heat Stell. You're doing good." I ruffled his hair.

I saw him smile.

"Stell..." tawag ko muli rito.

"Yes?" sagot nito.

I'm hesitating if I should ask him but i'm curious.

"Please don't get mad or offended but, hindi ba sumagi sa isip mo na makipagmate nalang?" there. I said it.

He stared at the front view of the car. "Sa totoo lang, maraming beses ko nang naisip yan." pagtatapat nito. "They say that everything will become easy if you mated with someone. Pero naisip ko after that, what will happen? To me? To my dreams? I became someones possesion so what's next?" he said. "Should I be expected to bore my mates child? Will that be my only purpose? Can I still do what I wanted to do with my life? How about my freedom?" dire diretsong tanong nito.

I just listened to him carefully.

"I wanted to mate with someone. I really do." he honestly said. "But I wanted it to be with the one I love. I want it to be out of love, hindi dahil kailangan at hiningi ng pagkakataon. I want it to came to me naturally. I won't force myself and I won't force anyone." matatag nitong saad.

There and then, mas lalo kong hinangaan ang kakambal ko. Being an omega in our world is really tough. His mindset to this certain topic is admirable.

I flashed a genuine smile while still focused on driving. "I'm proud of you Stell." I said.

I saw in my peripheral vision that Stell's eyes teared up a bit. He looked away and I hear him scoffed and sniffle.

Our feelings are really connected.

Nakarating kami sa university. I parked the car.

"Text me if anything came up." sabi ko.

Stell nodded.

We took our separate ways. Stell is going to culinary arts building while i'm headed to engineering building.

I checked the time. It's 7:25. I still have more than 30 minutes before my class starts.

Dumiretso ako sa classroom. I sat on my chair.

"Yow Pablo." bati sakin ng kaibigan ko, si Cross. "Kamusta? Paano ka pala nakauwi nung saturday?" naalala ko na kasama ko nga pala 'tong kumag na 'to ng gabing yun.

"You ditch me, didn't you??!" I growled at him. He throw his hands up.

Umiling ito. "Of course not. I can't do that to you." sagot nito.

I stared as if i'm boring a hole on him.

"Totoo yun." he raised his hand. "Pramis."

"Then why you're not with me when I woke up?" pinaningkitan ko ito ng tingin.

Hinimas nito ang baba. "Ahh!" he slightly shout. "Naalala ko na. You're with the red haired guy from architecture department. Yes that's it." tumango tango ito.

So we study in the same university. That jerk!

"So why did I end up with him and not with my dearest friend?" I sarcastically asked.

Ang natatandaan ko lang nang gabing yun ay inimbitahan ang department namin na sumama sa victory party ng archi department ng university. I thought I've known all of the students that was coming on that party but I don't remember that red haired guy at all. Who is he?

"That's because of your kindness." Cross said.

Nagtaka ako. "What??"

"Kasi you helped that guy that night. Lahat tayo medyo lasing na nun then suddenly that red haired archi student told the group that there was something going on in him. He said that his head was throbbing and it felt like it will split in half. He started to scream because of the pain. He can't stand on his own and you initiate to help him." kwento nito.

"Me??!" that was absurd. Did I really offer him some help?

"Yep." Cross nodded. "Also, ikaw nalang talaga ang medyo nasa tamang katinuan nung time na yun sating lahat." he said. "So what happened after you help him? Iniuwi mo ba siya sa bahay nila?"

I gulped. A glitch of memory that night flashed into my mind. My body recalls what it feels like to be touched by that man. I suddenly felt hot.

"N-No. I-I just b-brought him to a h-hotel to r-r-rest." I stammered. My palms instantly became sweaty.

Lumapit sakin si Cross. "Are you okay Pablo? May nararamdaman ka ba?" he was about to touch my forehead nang tinapig ko ang kamay niya. Hindi naman yun ganun kalakas. Nakita kong papasok na ang professor namin.

"O-Okay lang a-ako." sagot ko dito bago tumungo.

Bumalik na sa sariling upuan si Cross. Nagsimula ng magturo ang professor namin.

I looked down and calm myself. I did deep breaths in and out. What's happening to my body? What's going on?
