EMERY
"DELIVERY FOR MS. SALVACION, SOON TO BE MRS. CARTER!" Sigaw ng kapapasok lang na si Quen na may dalang mga bulalak at chocolates.
"Ang ingay mo!" Sita ko dito.
Inismiran lang ako nito bago ilapag sa hita ko yun mga bulaklak at chocolates.
"Bigay ni Kuya Ezar." Nakangising sabi nito. "Marami kasing ginagawa ang future husband mo kaya ako ang inutusan niya."
"Tantanan mo ako Quen." Inirapan ko siya. "Hindi niya naman kailangang gawin 'to eh."
"Bakit ayaw mona ba talaga?" Bigla itong sumeryoso. "Wala na ba talagang chance o takot ka lang sumugal ulit?"
Hindi ako nakasagot dahil ako mismo hindi ko alam ang sagot.
"Alam kong wala akong karapatang sabihin 'to pero sinadya ni Kuya na palayain ka kahit ayaw niya." Napakunot noo lang ako sa sinabi niya. "He's inlove with you since day one pero ayaw niyang tanggapin yun dahil natatakot siya, takot siya na magkaroon siya ng kahinaan at takot siyang mapahamak ka dahil sa kanya. Kuya is Mafia and in the world of Mafia, Love is doesn't exist–Love is a cursed."
"Hindi kona rin alam Quen, dahil kahit ako mismo ay naguguluhan." Tinuro ko ang tapat ng puso ko. "Sinasabi nito na mahal kopa siya at may pag asa pa kami.." Tinuro ko ang sintido ko. "Pero ang sinasabi ng utak ko ay tama na dahil masasaktan lang kami."
"Only you, can answer that Emery." Ngumiti ito. "If you love him then fight together."
Ginulo niya muna ang buhok ko bago umalis.
'Ano ba talaga?'
EZAR
I SMILED while looking at my wallpaper, it's my son and Emery, they sleeping.
I remembered the day when I chose to hurt Emery.
"Kakaibang ngiti na yan brad.'' I looked at Karson when he tapped my shoulder. "Si Ms. Salvacion ba yan?"
"Mind your own business." I coldly said.
"I know that smile." Archer smirked. "Ganyan din ang ngiti mo ng makilala mo yung ex girlfriend mo dati, mas malala lang nga yung ngayon."
"What!?"
"You're inlove with her." Colm seriously said.
"No, I'm not." Tanggi ko. "I'm just admiring her."
"You're inlove just accept it." Wyatt said.
"I said I'm not!"
"Okay, if you said so."
I DON'T know what happening to me, I can't imagine myself now without my self. Maybe they are right, I'm fvcking inlove.
"Anong maitutulong ko Kuya?" Quen asked.
"I will let go her and I want you to take care of her." I said seriously
"Woah, may problema ba?"
"Ramuel find out about Emery and I'm sure she will used her at me. I don't want her to be in danger, so I need to let her go."
"How can you do that?"
"I will hurt her."
YES I FVCKING hurt her, I even shooted her, I don't have a choice. Her safety is my first priority, I don't want to lose her.
It's better to loved her from afar..
"Puntahan mo na." Gerine said. "Walang magagawa 'yang pagmumukmok."
"Now, I regret for being Mafia." I laughed sarcastically. "But I don't have a choice right? I need to find those fvckers who killed my parents."
"Love is full of sacrifice Ez." He tapped my shoulder. "Don't worry about her, siguradong ligtas siya sa kamay ng Fiance ko."
Gerine is Quen's fiance. I'm sure my brother punch me because i kissed her.
"HOW IS SHE?" I asked to my brother.
"She's doing well but deep inside she's broken and that's because of you." He said.
I glared at him. "Don't flirt with her."
"Takot ko lang kay Gerine, daganan ako nun."
IN PAST YEARS NAKIKIBALITA LANG AKO TUNGKOL SA KANYA. AND THAT FVCKING QUEN DIDN'T TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A SON
"How is he?" I asked seriously to the Doctor
"He's fine Mr. Carter." He said. "Wag lang muna siyang pagalawin ng pagalawin para hindi bumuka ang sugat niya.
"Okay."
He just nodded before leave.
"Sino ka po?" He asked innocently while caressing his Mother's hair. "Kamuka po kita."
"Will you believe at me if I told you that I'm your Father?" He nodded. "Then, I'm your father."
"Bakit ngayon ka lang po? Ang tagal na po kitang hinihintay." He pouted. "Alam nyo po galit ako sa inyo kasi wala kayo nung naghihirap Mama ko, nung inaasar po ako ng mga classmates ko."
"I'm sorry." I sincerely said. "My life is too complicated."
"Hindi po sapat yung sorry hmp!"
"What do you want me to do? I'll do everything."
"Ha? Tagalog po please."
I chuckled. "Anong gusto mong gawin ko? Gagawin ko lahat."
"Una po wag nyo na po kaming iwan, sunod po dapat maghirap din kayo at dapat po kapag may ibibigay kayo samin ay hindi basta basta galing sa pera nyo, dapat po pinaghirapan nyo yung pera."
"Noted."
"Okay po, gusto ko po ng pansit at tokwa, galing pong pangasinan." He said and smiled. "Bilis na po."
"O-Okay."
I immediately went outside.
Pansit and tokwa from pangasinan.
I spent six hours just to buy pansit and tokwa. When I arrived to hospital, Emery is already awaked and What I expected she's mad at me.
Well she's more beautiful right now and I love her so much until now.
I LEARNED how to kalakal, how to be a barker, how to bilad the Palay and everything. It's so tiring, but I don't have any right to complain
This is for my family, this is for my son and for my Fluppy.
"Pogi, bente singko lang itong kalakal nyo." This old man said.
"Ang dami dami po niyan eh, dagdagan mona po." Zaem pouted. "Parang hindi mo po kami suki."
"Oo na nga, gagawin ko ng isang daan." He gave me one hundred.
Ito na lahat yun?
"Papa, malaki po yan." Zaem happily said. "Ang galing po natin."
He gave me a hug, parang biglang natanggal ang pagod ko. I felt now how I'm lucky I am
"KANTO UNO!" I shouted. "TATLO NA LANG AALIS NA!"
"Pwede bang ikaw ang sakyan?" Napangiwi ako dahil sa sinabi ng isang bakla.
"Wag po malandi." Zaem slapped his arm. "Sakay na lang po."
"Sungit!"
Nang mapuno ang jeep ay binayaran ako ng one fifty. Hinila ako ni Zaem palapit sa mga nagtitinda ng street foods.
"Siomai po dalawang twenty." He said
"Safe ba itong kainin?" I asked to him
"One hundred percent po." He gaved me a thumbs up.
We ate siomai and it's yummy.
"ITO FOUR FIFTY." This old woman said. "Balik ka bukas, para magbilad."
I just nodded to him and carried my son.
"Wow, dami po nating kita." Zaem happily said. "Yehey!"
Naranasan ko ang hirap nila sa loob ng maraming taon at pinapangako ko sa sarili kona hinding hindi na ito mauulit. I will give them everything I have...
