NURSE MADELAINE

CHAPTER 8: Racing

"What? Off ko ngayon Carl. Not again! Ayoko!" Hindi pa sinasabi ng kaibigan ang gusto niyang sabihin ay agad nang tumanggi si Gian.

"Wala pa akong sinasabi, ayaw mo na agad?" Carl was always all about business, deadlines, meetings and schedules. One week more, and he will be somewhat free of stress kapag nakabalik na ang Daddy niya galing sa leave.

"Last na to! Promise! Sige na bro...please...pagbigyan mo lang ako sa isang to, last na. " Gian could read him faster than any of his friends. He was eager to make a deal with him.

"Sa dami ng araw, ngayon talaga Carl? Darating si Shannan ngayon! Three weeks na kaming hindi nagkikita bro! Tuyong-tuyo na ako! You can never understand me kasi may asawa kang araw-araw eh-"

"Tuyong-tuyo? Kabababa lang ni Candice ah...yun ba ang tuyo?" It was a cruel mocking laugh.

"Hi Candice! How's your day? Ang aga ah!" Binusinahan ni Carl ang babaeng palabas ng building kung asaan ang condo ni Gian.

"Nasaan ka ba?" Maliligo na sana ito nang maisipan niyang dumungaw sa may veranda niya.

"Shit!" Napamura na lang si Gian nang makita niya si Carl na kumakaway sa kanya mula sa ibaba.

"Bro! Ang lakas mo bro! Iba ka!" Carl was snorting with laughter when she saw another girl coming out from the building.

"Erika! How's Gian? Still alive? You didn't kill him with pleasure? Did you?" Bati niya uli sa pangalawang babae at talagang bumaba pa ito ng kotse niya.

Tulad ng naunang babae ay nginitian lang din siya nito saka umalis.

"Threesome bro! How does it feel? Akala ko ba nagbago ka na kahit konte? Sabi mo, hindi mo na ginagawa yon? Mas malala ka pa ata kay Drake eh."

"Bakit miss mo ba? Miss mo mag-threesome Carl? Kasalanan mo kaya to! If you never call me for that damn workshop that day, Candice wouldn't be here. Muntik na kaya siyang mag-eskandalo kanina. I don't have a choice kundi ang papasukin silang dalawa. So kung anuman yang favor na yan, I won't do it. Shannan is coming today. Okay?" Inis na sabi ni Gian.

"No. I'm already contented with my wife. Hindi ko na kailangan ng mga ganun Gian. Grabe ka naman, wala kang kapaguran? Take a break bro! Just for today. Please?"

"No! I need to be with Shannan this day! Ang tagal ko siyang hinintay! Three weeks! Tapos mauudlot lang? Tuyong-tuyo na ako bro! I'm sorry."

"Gian naman, dalawang babae na yung kagagaling sa condo mo ng sobrang aga! Tuyong-tuyo? That's fucking-"

"Fucking what? Shannan is like Jackie to me. Alam mo yon diba? She is the only woman who can feed my satiety. Ganun ka rin naman kay Jackie dati diba? You know how I feel Carl. Jackie was the-"

"Don't ever mention that woman again! Please!" He abruptly stopped Gian.

"Forbidden name ba siya? Takot na takot ka kay Missy bro. Whoah! Alam mo, I can never imagine myself marrying someone that will frightened me like how you feel now."

"I'm not afraid of her. I am afraid of hurting my wife. I don't wanna see her crying just because of my past. Yon lang yon. Kung ayaw mo talaga, okay lang. Sasabihin ko na lang kay Madelaine na mag-isa na lang niyang pumunta sa conference. Sorry for disturbing you sa araw ng off mo." Carl's curiosity was on peaked.

"Madelaine? Anong conference ba yon?" Bigla siyang naging interesado kung tungkol saan ba ang pabor na hihingiin ni Carl sa kanya.

"Hindi na, huwag na. Kaya naman niyang magpuntang mag-isa don." And now that he confirmed it, Carl want to laugh so hard.
