Thunder

Napatitig ako sa pintong ngayo'y nakasara na. Muling tumahimik ang silid. I heaved a sigh. I brush my finger on my hair.

My, my is she upset? My brows furrowed. She's such a cry baby. Why do girls seems so dramatics? I'm just asking her to leave her babies under my care. Damn it.

I'm piss more than pissed. She's going to leave ha. As if she can.

I fished my phone out of my pocket then dial a number. Three rings then someone answer the call.

"I want you to investigate someone. Check all the background information. Give me even the tiniest thing about her. "
I pursed my lips.

["How much?"]
This mutt is such an opportunist. I blink twice then let out a sigh.

"Damn you Torn. How about a ducatti?"

["My pleassure bro. Now, give me her name."] his taunting cold voice always sound irritating.

If only there is someone that could do the magic, i won't call this piece of sh*t.

"Jaime Asuncion Vallarde."

I smirk. I want to know all of your secrets Ms. Vallarde. If he sent you here as a bait, might as well play with you.

...

"The Legendary Thunder is here, woooah himala hahaha."

"F*ck off."

Nagtawanan sila, mga gunggong tsk. Napailing iling ako. Pagkaupong-pagkaupo ko boses agad ng nakakairitang si Rider ang bumungad. Naupo ako sa pagitan ni Gideon at Aster. Tinanguan ko lang sila. Himala't natipon ang barkada.

"So how's life? Balita ko may ibinabahay ka na daw, Kulog. Fudge wag mong sabihing magpapakasal kana?" nagtaas baba ang kilay ni Aster.

"Ang tanong may balak nga bang magasawa yan? Di ba pareng Gid? Hahaha" malakas na humalakhak si Rider, nakisabay din ang tatlong ugok.

As usuall, the music blast in the air. Couples and partners making out in the dark corner of this bar. Typical sight.

"F*ck off. I'm going to be a father." I glance at Caspen.

I know he's the one who told them, about Jaime. This bastard, still has the guts to face me despite the fact that he kiss my little vixen.

Natahimik sila, maya-maya, naghagalpakan ng tawa si Gideon at Rider.

"Ngina bro! Nice joke hahaha, ikaw? Eh ayaw na ayaw mo ngang nagpapahawak sa babae, tapos magkakaanak na? Hahaha" pulang pula ang mukha ni Gideon habang tumatawa. "Unbelievable! Kung hindi ko nga alam, iisipin kong virgin pa si manoy mo hahaha"

Although i get a fair share of woman, bilang lang ang naikakama ko. I'm not a playboy.

"Shut up. I impregnated a Vixen." tinaasan ko sila ng kilay saka nagsalin ng alak.

Binubuo kami ng limang katao. Ako si Rider, Gideon, Aster at si Caspen. Nabuo ang barkada mula ng nasa college pa kami. No wonder we almost surpass the bond of a brotherhoods. We treat each other's as family. We share secrets. Make our tricks. We do sh*ts together.

The one i called is Torn. He's my little brother, Kelvin Torn Dimiscus. Some sais he's almost a carbon copy of me. A computer genuis.

"Vixen, a female fox? Di ba dapat b*tch, female dog?" Rider plastered a grin on his face. Malakas itong binatukan ni Caspen.

"Ulol! Hindi aso si Jaime. Though she's as cute as a puppy. She has this big doe eyes. Hazel eyes. Pointy nose. Cherry colored lips. Brown hair. She's the epitome of beauty..." His face beamed. His aura is as light as a feather.

Napakunot noo ako. I tensed. How the heck did he describe her like that? He sounds like a teenager, imagining his crush. T-that's -F*cking gross.

Umigting ang panga ko. I drew deep breath, calming my tensed muscle. Hindi ko napansing mahigpit na pala ang pagkakahawak ko sa shot glass.

Minutes had passed. Mas dumami ang tao sa loob ng gusali. Nasa pangalawang palapag kami. We have a full view of the dance floor. Kung ano-ano ang pinaguusapan nila. Tumatango lang ako, if they needed my response.

I took a sip of the whisky. Gumuhit ang kakatwang init at pait sa lalamunan ko. My mind flew.

The lights dance through the beat of a rock music. Tila isang tubig na dumaloy sa utak ko ang eksena ng isang gabi., three months ago. Where there is only Me and Jaime.

Jaime. There is something about her that intrigues me. There is something that pulls me towards her. That night, I'm not planning to get laid. Sh*t happen. I don't know what happened, i just find my self drawn to the feeling of an angel on my arms, sharing the best sh*t of our life.

I glance at my wristwatch. 02:16am. Why do i feel excited to go home? F*ck.

"I'm going." Tumayo na ko. Isang tango lang ang ginawa nila kaya naglakad na ko palabas ng gusali.

Dumiretso ako sa parking space. Just as expected, maaga akong nakabalik sa condo.

Patay na ang mga ilaw pagdating ko. Jaime must be sleeping already.

Dire-diretso akong naglakad papunta sa kwarto ko. I sighed, i found my self staring at the room she's occupying.

Her face flashed in my mind. I don't really care if i hurt her feelings, but i can remember the pain, regret and determination on her eyes. Should i say sorry to her?

"Damn why do the world seems dancing?"

I masage my temple. My head hurts damn it. I move my head sideways. Raise my hand and about to knock but then again...

"Why would I freaking need to knock? This is my f*cking place." i chuckled. I twist the door knob.

The room is cold. Lumapit ako sa paanan ng kama. A sweet scent of baby rose gently touch my sensitive nose. The place is dim, only the lamp on the bed side table, serves as a light. I can't see her face.

With light steps, i reach her side. Jaime is sleeping peacefully. Her cute lips, slightly parted. Her hair tangled on her pillow, some streaks were covering her face. I gently brush my fingers on her face, putting her hair behind her ear.

"Why do you look peaceful when the reality isn't?"

Why do it feels so wierd that i made her cry and upset?

Damn Jaime, what have you done to me.

"Sorry."
I leaned on her. My lips gently pressing on her temple. A sigh of content escape my lips. Now i feel better. Much better.

Salamat sa pagbabasa!

Merry Christmas!!
