Who's the Boss? (Salvaje Caballero Series 1)

Treinta y Uno

I really appreciated that Harry never forced his feelings. He have been a good friend after that mess. Even Seth visits us from time to time. Pakiramdam ko naman bumalik kami sa dati.

Nang unang pagtapak ko sa America ay agad akong nanibago. From the people, culture, places and atmosphere. Ibang iba mula sa Pinas. They are very liberated here. You care for your own life. And you mind your own business. Dahil na rin sa tulong ni Harry ay agad kong naipasok si Zeijan sa magandang paaralan. Hindi naman ganoon na nahirapang mag-adjust ang kapatid dahil matalino siyang bata.

Malaki ang bahay ni Harry. It's a two story compound. Halos ganoon din naman ang mga bahay na katabi nito. The design is very modern in a sense that edges were very detailed. Upstairs were rooms, and downstairs were kitchen and living room. It's not a mansion, but this is much better than our apartment. It has a balcony, and a garden in front. There's also a gym room inside. Hindi ko ginalaw ang kwarto ni Harry, nandoon ang mga gamit niya pero hindi ko pinakealaman.

I decided to jog around the neighborhood. Para kahit papano ay lumamig ang ulo ko. Agad na naninabago ang tingin ko. There were big trees on the side of the road almost blocking the sunrays. And the houses are lined up perfectly, having just a enough space towards another. Sa gilid lang ako tumakbo, may mga kasama din akong nagjojog pero iilan lang.

"Ouch!" A girly voice screamed.

I raised my eyebrow. She rolled her eyes and glared at me. Aba mataray!

"Can you watch your step?" mataray niyang sambit.

"You're the one who bumped into me! For pete's sake the road is so wide!" I screamed.

"Are you telling me it's my fault?" hindi niya makapaniwalang sambit.

I rolled my eyes. "Obviously!"

"You're unbelievable!"

I rolled my eyes. "Ang boba." I cursed.

Her eyes widened. "Anong sinabi mo?!" Agad akong napatingin sa mestisang nasa harap ko.

"You're a filipina?" Napairap siya sa tanong ko. 

"Obviously!" My blood boiled when she mimicked me.

"Hindi kasi halata, mukha kang espasol." I smirked. Her face reddened.

Dahil siguro sa sobrang inis ay linagpasan niya ako ng padabog. Sinundan ko siya ng tingin ng pumasok siya sa bahay niya. Halos manlaki ang mata ko sa pinasukan niyang bahay. Is she my fucking neighbor?! Ugh! I don't like her!

Days passed like a whirlwind. Lumipas ang buwan. Hanggang naging taon. Pero parang kahit kailan lang nangyari ang lahat. Hindi ko pa din makalimutan si Roemer. Siya pa din hanggang ngayon.

It's been three years. 

How is he? I wonder what he's doing. I sighed. There were nights when I woke up from my sleep screaming his name. I will always long for his touch.
