CHAPTER 58: APOLLO

Chapter 58: Apollo

Tinahak ko ang pamilyar na daan sa likurang bahagi ng Bridle. I've been here kanina nang hinatid ko si Zywon palabas. This small hole here comes in handy at times. Nang makalabas ako doon ay agad akong pumara at nagpahatid sa direksyon na nasa isip ko.

I cannot believe that I am standing in front of this huge gate again. Hindi ko na kailangan pang magpakilala sa gwardiya dahil kusa niya iyong binuksan. He must have known me as the youngest Vander dahil nakayukong binati pa niya ako.

Habang tinatahak ang malawak na bakuran ay hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin ang pabor ko sa taong iyon. He's not really that friendly kahit noong inakala namin na magkapatid kami. Bahala na, kung kailangan ko siyang takutin, I will.

Bahagya akong napakislot nang maramdaman ko ang mahinang pagbusina ng sasakyan sa likuran ko. I saw Red with his sunglasses on and he looks like a living model of a glossy magazine habang sakay siya ng convertible na kotse. He stopped the car at tinawag ako.

"Hey Amber, what a surprise", he said at ngumiti nang matamis. His skin was properly sun-kissed and it made me wonder if he made some efforts to achieve such skin.

"Red, is Ryu around?", tanong ko sa kanya. Call me rude for not returning his greetings to me. Sa ngayon ay wala akong panahon para makipagbatian. Gusto ko ngang sapakin ang sarili ko dahil nagkaroon pa ako ng panahong purihin ang morenong balat nito.

He opened the door for me. "Yup. Hop in."

One of the traits of a reaper. Good sense of feeling. He may have felt that I have to see Ryu urgently kaya hindi na ito nagkaroon pa ng maraming tanong. I am thankful that he arrived too since malayo-layo pa ang mansyon sa malawak na bakuran. Nang makasakay ako ay agad niyang pinatakbo ang kotse papunta sa mansion. Maging sa pagbaba ay hindi na siya nagkaroon pa ng maraming tanong.

"I guess you already know where to find him", wika niya pagbaba ko. Bahagya siyang nakasandal sa kotse at nakatingin sa akin.

"Yeah. Thanks Red", sagot ko sa kanya at nagmamadaling pumasok ngunit muli itong nagsalita.

"Oh, by the way, he's not being friendly lately— I mean he's not really friendly but it has gotten worse."

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

He let out a sexy. "Let's put it this way. How do you see him?"

"Uh.. A devil?" Yeah, that's Ryu.

"Hmm. Good choice. Yeah, he's like that but he became worse. He's not approachable these past weeks you know", banta ni Red sa akin. Ryu's evilness has gotten worse? May mas ikakasama pa pala ito?

Nagpasalamat na ako kay Red at tinahak ang mahabang hagdan. I've been in his room dahil minsan na akong humingi ng tulong kay Ryu. It was during the time that I asked him to hack Dad's cards. Nang makarating ako sa pamilyar na pinto ay hindi na ako nag-abala pang kumatok at nagtuloy-tuloy sa pagpasok which I regretted so much.

He was only wearing his BOXER SHORTS!

"Shit!", parehas naming wika. Tumalikod ako sa kanya while he grabbed the pillow on the bed. Not that it's my first time to see someone wearing boxer shorts. It's just— ahhh basta!

"Magbihis ka nga Ryu! Ba't ka ba nakahubad, kita mo ngang may tao!", I hissed habang nakatalikod. I can hear a door being opened and I'm positive that it's his cabinet.

"What the fuck Amber?! And who told you to barge into my room without even knocking?!", inis na wika din nito. His voice roared like a thunder inside his room. Oh, so this is what Red is talking about.
