Kline's Beautiful Downfall

Chapter 29

"W'sup bro?" Bati ni Gab sabay pabirong suntok sa tagiliran niya ng makalapit siya sa mga ito. They were hanging out at Stratos. "What's keeping you busy huh?" Halatang nasabik sa kaniya ang kaibigan. Gab even put his arms around his neck and jokingly strangled  him.

"Tsk! Gab bro naman, papatayin mo ba 'ko?" Sagot niya habang pilit inaalis ang braso nito sa leeg niya. "Sayang naman ang lahi ko no."

"Huwag na, baka dumami lang ang babaero sa mundo. Saan ka ba nagsu-suot?" Tanong pa din nito.

"Tsk! Eh di busy sa chicks nya bro." Singit naman ni Yanku sabay ngiti ng makahulugan sa kaniya. "Ano pa ba pagkaka-abalahan niyan."

He gave a death glare and a knuckle as a response and as a harsh warning for Yanku. Kilala niya ang hapon na ito, medyo may pagka-madaldal, baka mabisto pa siya ni Gab.

Gab looked at him as he sat down. Iyong tingin na nangingilatis. He felt a little bit nervous. Kilala niya ang mokong na ito, malakas ang pakiramdam nito.

Then Gab smiled. Yung nakakaloko at judgemental na ngiti.

"Fuck bro! Did you just blush? Ang landi mo bro!" Nakakalokong sabi sa kaniya ni Gab. "Tsk! Chick nga yan. Ipakilala mo naman kami bro." Gab tossed a can of beer in front of him.

"Chick o chicks? Baka plural Gab bro!" Nang-iinis pa na sabi ni Yanku habang ang sarap bigwasan dahil sa nananadya nitong tawa. Nakakairita. Well maybe because he was guilty.

"Saka na bro, I'm still making my moves." Sagot niya. He opened the beer and gulped on it.

"Whut? The great Kline Andrei kailangan pa ng moves? Whoa, I'm really curious about that chick bro. Finally mukhang nakahanap ka ng katapat." Gab even patted his shoulder.

He smiled. Hindi lang katapat. He was even under her!

"But that's good bro, I support you." Gab seriously added.

That's Gabriel Yuan Sebastian. He's the serious one when it comes to girls and relationships. Sa kanilang tatlo, si Gab 'yung hihingan mo ng payo tungkol sa isang matibay na relasyon. At hanga siya dito. And he really wanted to ask him for advice. Iyon nga lang, hindi nito alam na ang kakambal pala nito ang pag-gagamitan niya ng mga advices nito.

Napatingin tuloy siya kay Yanku. Naiiling din naman na napatingin ito sa kaniya. Nangingiting napa-kamot siya ng batok.

"You look really happy bro." Sabi ni Yanku. Hindi niya alam kung nang-aasar ba ito o masyado lang talagang obvious ang kilig at kasiyahan niya ng oras na iyon.

Well, he's really happy. He wont deny that.

-Flashback-

"Abay bakit ba kasi hindi ka pa dito sa bahay mo umuwi, para naman may kasama itong nobya mo dine." Suhestiyon ni Nana Elena habang kumakain sila ng agahan.

Tuwang tuwa ang matanda pati na din ang kaibigan niyang si Tiny nang makita ng mga ito na magkasama silang dalawa ni Ysa na pumasok ng bahay, lalo na nang ibalita nila sa mga ito na nagkabati na sila kuno na "magkasintahan".

Tiny even said if he could call Mayumi and Boggart to come over, para daw magcelebrate. Which he responded with a genuine smile.

And they were so believable. Kahit siguro siya ay maniniwala sa palabas nila ng dalaga. Maybe they were that convincing acting so sweet and in-love, that even their eyes tell how they were so happy that they got back together.

Or maybe they weren't acting at all? Maybe that's how they really feel for one another. At least that's how he felt.

Fuck! Napatigil siya sa iniisip. Did he just think about love? Yes she likes Ysa a lot. He's damn crazy about her. Baliw na baliw siya sa dalaga. Ito ang laging laman ng isip niya. Like fuck, he could not even remember a day or a moment that he didnt think about Ysa.
