Eyes don't Lie (Quadro Series #2)

Chapter 17

Yasir's POV

"How's Yael?" Yvor asked while picking up a cigarette stick.

Hindi ko na siya pinapasok ng bahay, we just hung out here on the front steps. He is not a guest or an important person, so I didn't bother to let him in.

"He's okay, nagrerecovery nalang siya ngayon." I answered, then took the bottle of wine that was next to me and drank it.
 
"Tinanggap mo na ba yung pakiusap ni Yrjo?" He asked again.

I put both my hands on either side of me.

Hindi ko iniisip ang tungkol dun, saka na.

I turned my head. "Ikaw nalang ang gumawa."I simply exclaimed.

He grinned and shook his head. "Busy ako, saka unang nakisuyo si Yovin. Professor ako ng dalawang buwan." He said.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Alam ko namang may dahilan ang pagpayag niya.

"Himala yata? Wala ka bang hearing? At nakuha mo pang pumayag." I asked with a grin.

"Nagpagsasabay naman yan kapatid, sa talino ko ba namang ito diba?" He has a proud demeanor.

I laughed softly. "Remember, you are the dumbest." I said cynically.

"Si Yrjo yun, tanga." He laughs defensively.

"Malakas ka lang kumapit kaya ka abogado ngayon, diba nga nandaya ka?" I added.

He laughed loudly "Tanda mo pa pala yun? In fairness to you, matalas ang memorya mo ah. But that's not cheating, buddy; it's called "Intelligence."

Tss, intelligence his ass.

I shook my head and lit a cigarette. He held the lighter closer.

"Doctor ka pero batak na batak ka sa bisyo." He exclaimed.

"Oo nga pala, pansin kong nagdadalaga na ang prinsesa natin." He suddenly said.

"Common sense. Eighteen na si Debbie, remember? Bobo to." Singhal ko.

"I mean, na kwento niya sa'kin na may mga nagpapadala ng bouquet of flowers sakanya. Pero hindi niya sinabi kung may nanliligaw na sakanya or what." Pagtatama niya, napatigil siya ng ilang segundo. "Kung nandito lang siya, maghuhurementiro iyon sa galit." He added.

Huminga ako ng malalim, naalala ko nung gabing nasa underground kami.

Hindi ko alam kung namamalikmata lang ba ako o nahihibang.

"I saw him." Biglang lumabas sa bibig ko.

He turned to me with his eyebrows furrowed. He looked at me in surprise when his weak forced laugh suddenly curved.

Does he think nagbibiro lang ako? Well, I'm not sure if it's him, but I know the bulk of that person's very well, and he's the one I say I saw that night.

"Imposible yan, alam nating apat na hindi siya nakaligtas sa pagsabog limang taon na ang nakararaan." He said it seriously.

"But we never found his body." Bwelta ko.

"Alam mo ikaw? Napapraning ka lang, siguro bihira ka nalang makatikim ng sex." Pabiro niyang tono.

Na ah... Lagi akong pinagbibigyan ni Nea kaya malayong magdidiet ako sa usapang sex.

"Parang nangangamoy ikaw itong walang sex, tuyot na tuyot na ba kapatid?" It was my cynical manner that he took seriously.

Kung hindi ka lang naman kasi gago noon, di' araw-araw ka sanang blooming ngayon...

Sa aming magkakapatid, I'm definitely the kindest, most loyal, and, of course, the most handsome.

"Ah talaga ba Sharmane? Fuck you." He raised his middle finger.
