CHAPTER TWELVE

SEATING ACROSS from the one you loathe since that very day brought back those emotions. His stomach churns that he might throw up at any moment.

Given today, he can say he's glad that he never confessed to this person. It would be so embarrassing and disgusting at the same time. He is not just homo, and would never be gay in the eyes of any gods out there.

He's not gonna be a unicorn puking rainbows and sunshines.

Tama nang masaktan siyang hindi sumusubok sa pag-ibig, kaysa sa uuwing dugoan ang puso at pang habang-buhay itong dalhin. For him, it is better to fuck people's guts on his bed, than being fucked by feelings. So, he became a great jerk and asshole since that day.

Not just to Denryl, but to everyone, too. Ang dating mabait at pala-kaibigan na Laurentius ay naging babaero at regular customer sa mga bars at inuman. Halos naging pariwara siya sa alak, ngunit he still accelerates his academic performances. Study at day time, drunk at night time with a lot of sex and skins.

And now, he is willing to destroy Denryl the way he was destroyed unbeknownst by the person.

"Hey," tawag pansin niya kay Denryl. "How about I'll treat you to dinner tonight? Would that cheer you up?"

Agad na napatingin sa kaniya si Denryl na may kakaibang emosyon sa mga mata. Para itong uma-asang baka babalik sila sa dati. Na magiging kaibigan ulit sila.

"Talaga? You wouldn't mind kung ang pinakamahal na putahe sa menu ang pipiliin ko?" paninigurado roon ni Denryl sa kaniya.

Laurentius faked a chuckle. "Of course, it's my treat. You forgot yata na I am a multi-billionaire now."

Natawa naman si Denryl sa sinabi niyang biro. "Ayos, gusto ko iyan. Parang noong mga freshmen college pa lang tayo."

Except, you thought I would be nice to you this easily. "Yeah." He sighed. "Just like the good ol' days."

Napansin ni Denryl na huminto na sa kaka-ikot ang mga washing machines kung saan nakapaloob ang damit ni Laurentius. Denryl rises. "Mukhang tapos na 'yong mga labahan mo, tara?" Denryl invited him, at agad naman siyang tumayo at sumunod sa kasama.

Agad nilang isinalang ang mga basang labahan sa dryer ng establishemento at naghintay ulit doon ng ilang minuto bago ito matuyo at maging fresh as new. Nang matuyo ito, parang proud na nakangiti siya roon habang tinitigan ang mga bagong labang mga damit, na parang nanalo sa isang parangal.

He felt proud for himself doing all that laundry. Wait. Denryl helped him, though.

Agad niyang hinarap ang kasama at nginitian ito ng malaki. "Thank you for helping me," galak niyang pasasalamat sa kasama.
