Wild Wine

Chapter 7: Jealous?

Everything is fine, malapit na rin ang finals and there are lots of things that I need to pass. I am just reading books for an assessment. Whiskey is still sleeping but I prepared breakfast for him.

Honestly, I am happy because even though he is cold, I know that I am safe with him. I'm so happy to help this guy. Sobra akong nag-effort to make him realize the essence of life kasi ayoko na subukan niya ulit ang mag-suicide.

Nagulat ako dahil biglang bumukas ang shower. H-Hey! What happened?

I looked at my bed and he is not in there. Grabe, parang ninja talaga kumilos itong si Mr. Suplado. You can't predict his moves.

I heard a knock from the door...

"Wine! Are you there?"

I know that voice! It's my bestfriend, Cider! I smiled and then I opened the door. He is also smiling at me.

"What brought you here? Sobrang aga pa hahahah," I said.

He is just smiling at me. Pinakita niya sa akin ang dala niyang mga libro. Oh, I know what he needs.

"Come inside..."

I really know him. Madalas talaga nandito si Cider sa apartment ko kapag malapit na ang finals kasi nagpapatulong siya.

"Nag-breakfast ka na ba?"

"Yeah! Don't worry about me. I just really need your help," he said.

He is just looking around my apartment. Pansin ko na kumunot ang noo niya. Ok, I already know what he's thinking.

"Bakit ang mahal ng appliances and gadgets dito sa apartment mo? Wala ka namang ganyan dati ah! I also noticed a very luxurious sports car outside," he said.

I just sigh...

"It's not mine. Whiskey bought all of those things and don't ask me where he got it. I know nothing," I just said.

Kumunot na lang ang noo niya...

"I think, he's crazy rich!" He said.

Yeah... Maybe? I'm not really sure about him. Wala naman talaga akong kaalam-alam kay Whiskey. He is very mysterious.

"Don't mind me asking, Wine. What's his surname?" Cider asked.

Nabigla tuloy ako. I don't even know his surname. Oh, there are lots of things that I don't really know about him. It's ok, I will never force him. Alam ko naman na siya mismo ang makikipag-interact someday.

"Who are you?"

Parehas kaming nanginig ni Cider dahil sa boses ni Whiskey. I looked at him and he's just wearing a towel!

Napaiwas tuloy ako ng tingin. Lagi na lang siyang ganyan! Urrrghhh! Pwede naman magbihis na sa banyo ah!

"I'm Cider, Wine's bestfriend..."

He looked at my bestfriend from head to foot. Oh Whiskey, you are always like that. Kinabahan tuloy si Cider.

"What are you doing here?" He asked with his frightful look.

"Hmmm... I just need Wine's help. Nahihirapan kasi ako sa studies."

Whiskey is just looking at him. Grabe, nakakatakot talaga siya tumitig. Mukhang hindi niya gusto si Cider. Maybe, I need to break the silence.

"Ganito talaga kami kapag malapit na ang finals. We are helping each other. Minsan, dito rin natutulog si Cider," sabi ko na lang.

I'm in shock because he glared at me!
