Zephyr Strings

Kabanata 10

My eyes widened when Comet's side profile caught my curious gaze. Nang bumaba ang halik niya sa leeg ng kahalikan, halos mapamulagat ako nang makita si Sahri na nakapikit, awang ang bibig at mukhang gustong-gusto ang ginagawa ni Comet.

Nanuyo ang aking lalamunan. I can see Comet's hold on her body. The way Sahri's lips parted with eyes closed, it seemed like she yearned for Comet's kisses. Unti-unting nilukob ng dilim at pamilyar na tabang ang aking kaibuturan.

"What do you think will happen kapag nalaman ni Casimir?" tila natutuwang bulong sa akin ni Indra.

"How did you know about this?" tanong ko, nanatiling nanonood sa dalawa.

"Hmm... well, I noticed them since the very beginning. But today's the confirmation of my assumptions."

Hinilot ko ang aking sentido at napapikit. This is insane. Sahri is cheating with Comet, her boyfriend's friend. And Comet... what the hell?

"Ano sa tingin mo ang mangyayari sa banda kapag nalaman ni Casimir na niloloko siya ng girlfriend niya? Mabubuwag ba? How about Comet? Will they kill each other?" parang demonyong bumubulong-bulong si Indra sa aking tabi.

I don't think so. Casimir already said that he couldn't blame Sahri if she ever cheated. But no. That's not enough reason to cheat on someone. No matter what reasons you have, you shouldn't cheat. There's no good reason for cheating.

Yes, sinabi ni Casimir na hindi niya masisisi si Sahri. Pero paano kung malaman niyang si Comet ang ginagawang kalaro ni Sahri? Ano'ng mararamdaman niya?

"I can ruin those two if I want to..." Indra said slowly.

"Don't you dare stick your nose in their issue." I glared at her.

She fixed me with her innocent gaze, but the mischievous grin on her face revealed her true intentions. Sinulyapan niya ang dalawa. Her jaw moved, probably because she was gritting her teeth.

"I just don't want Cohen to get sad..." She muttered and looked at me. "If their affair starts to impact the band, I won’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to dismantle everything they’ve built." Ngiti niya, halos mawala na ang mga mata.

I swallowed hard. Hindi ko kinakampihan si Sahri. Hell, I'd never side with cheaters. But I can't just ignore the fact that the girl in front of me right now is batshit crazy. I've also done my research. This girl is the youngest and only sister of Sai Kobayashi Kedavra, a half-Japanese man who has dominated all of Asia with his remarkable intellect.

Hindi lang oil company, hotels, at airlines ang pag-aari nila. This girl's family is filthy rich, thanks to her brother who successfully runs a pharmaceutical company in Europe. They also come from a lineage of old money.

And hearing about her brothers being crazy, especially his older brother, who always cleans up her mess, I wouldn't be shocked if this girl already committed criminal acts worse than physical assault.

"Cohen will be affected only if you fail to keep your mouth shut," I whispered.

Ngumuso siya. Sabay kaming nagtago nang gumalaw ang dalawa sa kiosk. Halos mapamura ako.

"Then... they must pray harder so they wouldn't get caught. But those two are real idiots. Who would make out in broad daylight in an open space? Are they even trying to keep their affair a secret?"

I sighed. She was right. Ang tanga-tanga ng dalawang iyon. But that's not my concern here. Kahit na nairita ako sa ginawa ni Casimir sa akin noong nakaraang araw, hindi ko maiwasang maawa sa kaniya.

His girlfriend is cheating on him with his friend. That is fucking problematic.

I shook my head and walked past Indra, completely leaving her. I still can't believe it. Casimir. Casimir has it all! How can she do that to him? At sa kaibigan pa talaga ni Casimir? This is so upsetting!
