Pyrmont Crown

Chapter 4

PYR STARED blankly at the ceiling while sitting in the armchair. His whole body idle as he imagine again— and again— and again the same face, smile, and everything from one person in his mind— Dessert.

Bumuntong hininga siya saka tumayo habang hawak ang isang baso na may lamang alak. Lumabas siya ng balkonahe at tumingin sa katabing balkonahe mga limang metro ang layo mula sa balkonahe ng silid niya.

It's foolish of him to stay in this room beside hers. He should be home by now, sleeping or having a chat with his friends but here he is, hoping to get a glimpse of her again. Rendering himself to get out of his room and knock on her door.

Pag-ibig nga naman. Hindi niya makita o mahawakan pero kaya siyang kontrolin.

Napailing siya.

Malamig na binawi niya ang tingin saka tumingin sa karagatan na nasa 'di kalayuan at nahulog sa malalim na pag-iisip.

According to the information that Vsql gathered about Dessert, she's a single mother to her son named; Vegas Cozonac Arenas. Nakasunod ang apelyido nito kay Dessert.

He wonder what happened to that man she cheated with? Did he leave her? Cheat on her too? What goes around comes around eh.

Pyrmont tsked. If that's the case, karma hit her hard. She did reach her dream though, not totally but she ended up like how she wished she want to become; a nurse. Iyon nga lang, assistant lang ito sa isang clinic sa Sundust kung saan ito nalatira ngayon.

It's not what she dreamed of. He still remember that she wanted to be a nurse and work in a hospital but look where she ended up working. Her salary could barely cover her and her child's monthly expenses.

Sa baba ng sahod nito hindi niya makuhang maisip paano nito nakakayang pagkasyahin iyon. Sabagay, baka umaasa din ito sa ama nito kung saan ito nakatira.

Tch, how stupid of her. He could give her everything but she choose to be with someone who didn't only leave her but also didn't support her. Even her son is not carrying his father's surname. How depressing.

Nasuklay ni Pyrmont ang buhok gamit ang isang kamay saka uminom ng alak. He's getting pissed off again just thinking about how she chooses that man than him.

Mukhang mahal na mahal talaga ni Dessert ang ama ng anak nito para ipagpalit siya nito sa kabila ng kaya niyang ibigay dito.

Inubos niya ang laman ng baso saka siya muling pumasok ng silid para sana magsalin ulit ng alak nang marinig niya nanaman ulit ang ingay na nagmumula sa cellphone niya.

Kanina pa iyon tunog ng tunog at hindi niya lang sinasagot dahil wala siya sa kondisyon para makipag-usap kahit na kanino. But it's getting inside his nerves. The constant ring that won't stop is annoying.

Just who the fuck is dying to talk to him?

Pagbagsak niyang inilapag ang hawak na baso saka salubong ang kilay na pinulot ang cellphone niya at tinignan kung sino ang tumatawag.

Rage.

Pyrmont tsked. Just what the heck does his brother want now?

Sighing, Pyrmont sat on the couch with a flounce before swiping the green button.

"What take you fucking ages to answer your damn phone, Pyr?!"
