DS #4: Our Bloody Life

Kabanata 16

Binitawan ko lang ang kamay ni Pri nang makarating kami sa loob ng banyo. I locked the door. Tiningnan ko kada- cubicle para siguradong walang tao.

"What are you doing?!" she asked, raising her voice. I didn't know that she's coming here too, sana nagdala ako ng back up. I messed up my hair and look at her.

"I should be the one who'll ask you that, Pri. What are you doing here?" I asked her back. This will be dangerous for her. Damn. I clenched my fist. Napatitig ako sa suot niyang gown, it's silver at hapit na hapit sa katawan niya. Her top is not revealing, thanks for the dress but the  cut from her toes is until her down thigh.

"Phoenix asked me here, he's outside," she answered. Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin, "So, I thought you will have your work. Hindi naman pala trabaho ang gagawin mo." Tumaas ang isang kilay niya. She crossed her arms, "Tell me, is she your girlfriend? Ang arte kaya ng babaeng 'yan!" asik niya.

Ako dapat ang maiinis, "What is he doing here? Playing? And yes, Pri. I have work to be done," I explained. Napasandal ako sa lababo ng comfort room.

She smirked mockingly, "Playing? My brother is a business man! Work here? Are you waiter or escort?" tanong niya habang naniningkit ang mga mata.

A businessman? At his age? That's surprising! I can't utter a word. How would I tell her that i'll kill someone tonight? My chest went up and down.

"Cholo, come out. Baka matapos na ang party na 'to," sabi ni Rio.

"Bro, nakita ko na ang lahat ng guards. Hindi naman gano'n kadami," ani Tom, "I'm ready."

Hinarap ko si Pri na ngayon ay naiinis na sa 'kin. I levelled my facs. Her face are crumpled. Silly she's beautiful. I held her shoulders. I looked at her through her eyes.

"Pri, call your brother. We have to do something, baka madamay kayo," sabi ko. I can't let her. Hindi siya maiiwasan ng bala.

"A-Anong gagawin? May masama bang mangyayari, h-ha?" natataranta niyang tanong. She bite her bottom lip.

Tumayo ako saka tumalikod, "Rio, what room are you? Pri will go there. Keep her safe, okay?" I asked and reminding him.

"Cholo, ano ba ang nangyayari? May terorista ba?" she asked hysterically. Paglingon ko sa kaniya ay kinakagat na niya ang kaniyang kuko. Kinuha ko 'yon sa kamay niya.

"Stop that." Suway ko. Shs pouted her lips that makes her more cute. Napaiwas ako ng tingin. I can't be distracted of her.

"Pinapakaba mo kasi ako, e."

"Pri, huh? Alright, C. Room 25, 3rd floor," sagot niya. I thanked him.

"Room 25 3rd floor now! Tawagin mo ang kapatid mo," utos ko. Nataranta naman siyang binuksan ang CR. Tumakbo siya. Paglabas ko ay madaming babaeng nakapila at naghihintay. Makahulugan silang lahat na tumingin sa 'kin. Napaayos ako ng tux ng wala sa oras.

Naglakad ako na parang walang nangyari. Lumiko ako papasok sa hotel. Sumakay ako sa tagong elevator.

"CCTV's are turned off for a while. Sabihin niyo na lang kung nakapuwesto na kayo. Cholo, tingnan mo ang location mo baka mahina," he said.

I nodded my head, "Alright, we'll wait until Pri is there."

"Bro, siya 'yong doctor? Ang ganda niya tingnan sa telescope," tanong ni Tom.
