FOR YOU •Mafia Secret Agents•(Black Agents' Zumi)

Chapter Eight

Traiven's POV

I'm sure,para akong tanga habang papasok na 'ko sa bahay. Kakahatid ko lang kay Hanna at sobrang pula ng mukha niya at ayaw niyang tumingin ng deretso sa'kin.

Pareho lang pala kami eh.

We like each other,huh? Yahooo!!

"Anak,mukha kang tangang ngiti ng ngiti diyan. May nangyari ba?"

Ay,si Mommy nakakahalata sa'kin. Tapos sinabihan pa 'ko ng tanga.

"Pa'nong tanga Mom?"

"Ngiting-aso ka eh..."

Tumabi siya sa'kin at pinakatitigan ako.

Naalala ko na naman yung mapulang-mapula na mukha ni Hanna kanina at ang pag-kiss niya sa cheeks ko. Except kay Mommy,siya pa lang ang babaeng nakakahalik sa'kin.

'Di ko mapigilan ang kamay ko at pumunta iyon sa magkabilang pisngi ko dahil hanggang ngayon,ramdam na ramdam ko parin ang mga labi niya na nakadikit roon.

Napahawak naman ako sa labi ko ng maalala ko na hinalikan ko pala ang cheeks niya. Ang bakla ko sa part na 'to,alam ko. Hindi ko naman alam na ang la-lambot pala ng cheeks niya. Feeling ko tuloy gusto ko na siyang halikan araw-araw.

Hindi lang sa cheeks,pati na rin sa lips..

"Anak... May hinalikan ka no?"

Napatingin ako kay Mommy ng magsalita siya. Takte! Nagi-imagine ako ng nasa tabi ko si Mom! Really Traiven!?

"U-uh... Cheeks lang naman iyon Mommy eh.." sabi ko sa kanya.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at nag-twinkle-twinkle.

"Kaninong cheeks,huh?"

"K-kay Hanna.."

Parang teenager si Mom kung makapag-react,ayun nag-titili.

"Kayo na ba?" She asked me eagerly.

"Mom! Hindi naman kami eh,friends lang kami diba?" Nakasimangot kong sabi sa kanya.

Pero nakangiti naman ako ulit ng maalala ko na naman na pareho lang kami ng nararamdaman. This is my first time at parang ang sarap sa pakiramdam.

"Ayy,akala ko pa naman kayo na..."

"Mom.."

I'm still confused of my feelings and I know it would be awkward if I ask my Mom about this,but.... I need her opinion.

"Yeah?"

"Mommy, ano'ng signs kapag in love na ang isang tao?"

Sumandal siya sa arm rest ng sofa at tinitigan ako.

"Hmm... Bakit ka ba nagtatanong? May natipuhan kana ba?"

"Mom, I'm just asking you... Besides,I didn't say that I love her already because we just known each other for one week. How can I know if I'm in love with her?"

"Who her? Hanna?"

Tumango ako.

"What's the things that you told her?"

"I-i like her.."

"Hmm.... Tell me,what do you feel when she's around.."

Napakamot ako sa batok ko bago ako sumagot kay Mommy, "I feel happy and.... My heart was always thumping so wildly,i can't contain myself and... I feel my whole world stopped whenever I saw her smiling at me.."

Tumango-tango si Mommy.

"Pa'no naman kung wala siya?"

"P-parang nami-miss ko siya.... I'm always longing for her, my mind was thinking of her over and over again... I don't know,pero parang gusto kong malapit lang siya sa'kin palagi.."

Kung baliw na ang tawag sa'kin,baka nga baliw na ako. Isang linggo pa nga lang kaming magkakakilala ni Hanna pero okyupado na ng mukha niya ang isip ko.

"You're in love son.."

Napa-angat ako ng tingin ng marinig ang boses ni Daddy,pababa siya ng hagdan. Naka-pangbahay lang siya ng suot. Kaya sigurado akong hindi siya pupunta sa kompanya.

"How can you say so Dad?"

"Because I was from your situation. Actually,I'm still in love right now.."

Umupo siya sa kabilang side ko habang nakatingin kay Mom. Kakaiba talaga ang mga magulang ko,matanda na't lahat in love parin sa isa't-isa. Well, can't blame them. Ako nga kahit ganito ang edad ko, pangarap ko ng magkaroon ng ganyang relasyon. Kahit sobrang busy nila palagi, hindi parin nila nakakalimutan ang feelings nila sa isa't-isa.

Amazing!

"I already told you son,your Mom was a nerd before back then. I was the most famous boy in school and she was the most famous..... Nerd or they often called crazy loser. But it doesn't stop me to be friend with her,she caught my attention. I approached her and she didn't know that I was on her back already,I heard her talking alone. I thought she was talking to her phone but there's no phone with her. She was just talking to herself. And then I realized, that's why they call her crazy loser.."

Napatingin ako kay Mom as if asking her if it was true. Nginitian lang ako ni Mom at tumango.

"But I still be friend with her. I was like on your age when I feel different towards her. Coreen Angelica was an angel,I always love her presence,she make my heart flutter from time to time without her knowing and I always missed her when she's not around. That time I already know that I'm in love with her... I was finding her to tell her what I feel towards her, and then I found her... On the music room,she was playing the piano and was singing while I'm facing her back. I didn't know she had a voice like that. I fall in love to her more,I admit to myself that I'm really in love to her.."

Nice story! Hindi pa 'to nasasabi ni Mom sa'kin.

"I am not a bad boy, spoiled nor a badass famous guy. I am just like you,the formal, friendless and smart heir of the school."

Whoa! Si Dad friendless pala noon,akala ko ako lang.

"I thought I'm alone forever but when your Mom transferred... I became the happiest man alive, especially when I heard her saying ‘I thought I was falling in love with Arthur already..’ after she played and sing with the piano. I was jumping and screaming loudly,making her flinched and look at my direction.... And that's the beginning of our new story."

I amazingly look at the both. Ang ganda ng story nila,pwede ng ibenta sa bookstore.

Napaisip ako kung maganda rin ba ang boses ni Hanna.

"So son, you're in love with Hanna huh?"

Wala sa sariling napatango ako.

"Well,you better told her before everything went wrong. You know that your life is in danger."

Sa salita pa lang ni Daddy,agad na bumalik ang galit at kaba sa dibdib ko. Ayokong may madamay sa problema ko kaya umakto lang akong normal sa school,ayokong makadamay ng iba,lalo na si Hanna.

"Me and your Mom was really sorry son... We didn't know,it would turn like this."

Napailing-iling ako.

"Mom,Dad... It was not your fault. Those desperate people was at fault. We can fix this together."

Niyakap ko si Mom at Dad.

Hindi ko alam na may tao pa palang sobrang desperado at sobrang sakim sa pera. Na dadating na sila sa point na gusto na nilang patayin ang gusto nilang nakawan.

Ilang beses na akong naka-tanggap ng death threats. Pati na rin sina Mom at Dad kaya,buwan-buwan ay nagda-dagdag kami ng bodyguards sa buong bahay at may nakasunod rin sa'king bodyguards tuwing umaalis ako.

I just really hope,hindi na nila dadamayin ang ibang taong nakapaligid sa'min. I don't want another people to be involved. Especially Hanna.

I can't forget their names. Lalo na yung pinuno nilang kasing-sakim ni Haring Barabas.
