Carlo
Almost 6pm na nang umalis si Mom and Dad.
Pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa unit ko agad akong tumakbo papuntang banyo to take a rush bath.
I wear a red long sleeves polo folded up to my elbow and a light denim pants terno with a white sneakers.
When I'm done fixing myself, I grabbed my wallet, car key and of course Linda Blair.
In the middle of traffic, I dialed Kit number.
"Yow." He answer over the line.
"I need a little information." I said while driving.
"Okay, what is it?" He said.
"Contact number of Gail." I said directly.
He chuckled.
"What are you thinking this time Carlo?" Natatawa pa rin niyang sabi.
"Nothing. I just want to call her. Thats it!" Naiinis ko nang sagot sa kanya.
"In one condi-"
"No fucking condition asshole! I'll gonna fucking kill you if you don't give me that fucking number of Gail!" I yelled out of frustration.
Fuck him! May kasalanan pa nga sila sa akin. Kung ano ano pinagkukwento nila kay Mommy at Daddy. Those idiots. Tss
"Tss. Alright but promi-"
"I'm on my way to fucking kill you Kit." Seryoso kong sabi.
I heard his laughed.
"You idiots, may kasalanan pa kayo sa akin. Why did you fucking tell Mom and Dad about Gail, huh? Do you really want to die now?" Matigas kong sabi.
Naiinis na ko dahil naririnig ko ang malakas na pagtawa niya sa kabilang linya.
"Kit!" Damn him.
Kung nasa harap ko lang siya ngayon nasapak ko na to.
"Alright, alright. I'll send you her personal number." Pagkasabi niya nun. Ibinaba ko na.
Tss. Pinahaba niya pa ang usapan. Malalagot talaga silang tatlo sa akin.
Maya maya nga ay nakareceive ako ng message from Kit.
Ibibigay din pala. Tss.
Agad kong kinontak ang number na binigay niya kase baka niloloko lang niya ako but I trust Kit. When he say it, he do it.
Nagring ang numerong ibinigay ni Kit.
"Hello?" After two rings she finally answered.
I stiffened. I didn't speak.
"Hello?" It's her. It's really her. Damn it.
She ended the call. I smiled genuinely.
Minsan talaga maasahan si Kit.
Inihinto ko ang sasakyan ko sa tapat ng isang flower shop.
"Good evening, Sir." Bati agad ng staff.
"Yeah. Kindly give me a bonquet of red roses." Agad kong sabi.
"Any additional, Sir?" Nakangiti pa ring sabi ng babae.
"None." Sagot ko. Agad naman niyang inasikaso ang order ko.
I gave her my card.
I dialed my secretary's number while waiting.
"Good evening, Sir." Mabilis na sagot ng nasa kabilang linya.
"Trisha, cancel all my appointments for tomorrow. Tell them I'm on a vacation." I toughly said.
