Blood and Honor (Voiceless Series #1)

Fourteen

Remind me that to kill is forbidden in the eyes of the law and the Eyes of the Almighty.

Currently, the boys and I are in this red fast food restaurant with a huge happy bee with huge eyes and a humongous butt wearing a red suit with a black bow tie.

They say, 'Sa Jollibee, bida ang saya,' but I plea a huge NO. I am pissed right now and what made me more irritated are the boys with me who are fuelling this feeling I am suffering with right now.

The boys planned na mag sine naman daw kami ngayong araw. Pero nang makita namin si Tana na mayroong kasamang lalaki, we followed her instead. And here we are in Jollibee, spying my secretary.

"Uy pare, ipinagbitbit oh!" Sabi ni Khairro at itinuturo pa ang pagkuha ng lalaking kasama ni Tana sa mga bitbit nitong gamit.

Kasalukuyan kasi siyang nakapila para makaorder kasama ang isang lalaking matangkad na mukhang chinese.

"Ipupusta ko ngala-ngala ni Ali, manliligaw niya iyan," sabi naman ni Keeper.

Alejandro dramatically clenched his chest as if he was hurt. "Grabe naman Keeper, bakit sinali mo pa ang ngala-ngala ko sa love life ni Miss CCTV," sabi naman nito.

Kapag ba pinatay ko itong mga kaibigan ko magtatagpu-tagpo lang din ba kami sa impyerno? Can't they see that I am trying to be calm in here?

"So ang tipo pala ni Miss CCTV ay isang chinito. Tsk. Bawi ka nalang sa next life Sage. Exact opposite ka pala ng tipo ng secretary mo," sabi naman ni Nigel na umiiling pa.

Keeper tapped my shoulder. "So, magtirik na ba kami ng kandila sa tapat ng kwarto mo sa The Dogtown?" Tanong ni Keeper at nagtawanan naman ang mga ungas.

Hindi ko lang kasi sila masapak dahil baka mapansin kami ni Tana, hindi na ako makapagobserba pa.

"Hindi naman sa pinag ooverthink ko kayo ha, what if mag-asawa na pala sila?" Sabi naman ni Khairro. Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko, nasapok ko na ang gago.

"Are you dumb? She is working as my secretary as 'Miss' Sultana Gonzales Aragon, and even signed 'single' on the slum sheet as her civil status."

I tried to be calm and the idiots just laughed. "Defensive mo naman!" Nigel remarked.

"Bobo ka din ba? Hindi lahat ng mag-asawa kasal. Ang iba live-in pero they identify themselves as husband and wife," Khairro added which made me freeze.

Alejandro touched Khairro's forehead and compared it to his. "Normal naman ang body temp mo, pero bakit ang talino mo ngayon?"

Umakto naman si Khairro na akala mo isa siyang genius sa balat ng lupa.

"Hey stop it. Don't make Sage overthink. Baka maubos alak ko sa bar," Keeper said with a playful grin on his lips.

"Oo nga naman kasi, so what kung may asawa na pala si Miss CCTV, edi mag move on nalang si Sage," sabi naman ni Nigel na akala mo may simpatya talaga gayong nagpipigil ito ng tawa.

"Tana hates men in particular. She never had a boyfriend kaya imposibleng sila ng lalaking kasama niya ngayon," depensa ko naman na may halong pangungumbinsi rin sa sarili.

"When was the last time Tana said that?" Alejandro asked.

"On my first day at the company," I answered.

"And gaano na katagal iyon?" Keeper asked.

"Three months ago." I sheepishly answered.

Again, the boys muffled their mouths to decrease the noise of their laughter right now.
