APOLLO

I massage my temple, thinking about what happened last night. If I can choke myself to death, I will probably will.

We made love. Slow, lots of tender kisses and sweet words. Not messy, loud and hard.

Darn it, Apollo. You lost your mind.

"We can reschedule the meeting tomorrow if you can't focus right now..." Adi use his cold professional tone on me. He's already fixing his things. Kakarating lang nila ni Abe sa opisina ko pero parang gusto na ulit umalis.

"Hindi. Ngayon na..." Tinignan ko ang business plan na ginawa niya. I am extending LUX like how I told Pamela, we will manage actors and actresses aside from models— and Adi and Abraham are my investors. It's a good business extension since I already have my own movie production.

"Something's bothering you," sali ni Abraham sa usapan.

He's only here to say yes and give money. Wala namang ambag 'yan kapag kailangang gumamit ng utak. And Cayenne will kill him if he will personally meet with the artist we will sign. Napaselosa ng asawa niya, o baka tamang sabihing walang tiwala sa kalandian niya. I can't blame Cay— Abe's notorious with dating actresses and models, locally and internationally. Hindi ko nga alam anong nakita ng mga babae sa kanya, e sa aming tatlo siya pinaka pangit, malaki lang katawan.

Adi got the brain and character. Abraham has the body. Meanwhile I am a total package— looks, brain, body plus humor. Ang pangit lang ng taste ng mga babae sa paligid namin noong lahat pa kami single— ako ginagawa nilang second choice kapag ayaw sa kanila ni Adi o Abraham. Mga tumatapat sa akin noon pa man may tama sa utak.

"What's going on, Apollo?" Si Adi na nakapagpabalik sa akin sa katinuan.

Pareho na nila akong tinitignan. Inaabangan ang sasabihin ko. Napabuntong hinga ako. Over the years my relationship with them strengthen. We were never this close growing up, kahit si Abe at Adi. Maybe because we're all fathers now. We relate with each other. Iniiwasan ko lang lumabas kasama sila dahil bitbit nila lagi mga asawa nila, nagiging fifth wheel ako.

"I made love with Pam last night."

Adi didn't blink, he remain stilled. But Abraham laugh his ass out.

"You're fuck up," Abe nudge me on the shoulder. I glare at him. Akala mo nagbibiro, ang sakit ng kamao niya. Minasahe ko ang braso at pabagsak na sumandal sa swivel chair.

"What's wrong with making love with Pam?" Adi seriously asked. "You were once married. You love her. May anak kayo. Nothing's wrong with it, Apollo. You're not fuck up."

"It's scandalous, Adi. Ako nakipaghiwalay sa kanya. What I am feeling now is dangerous."

Kasalanan ko 'to. Why would I ask her to make love with me?

She seriously did make love with me last night. Our first after years was amazing but what happened last night? It woke up everything hidden deeply in my gut. Bumalik sa akin lahat— bakit minahal ko siya, bakit baliw na baliw ako sa kanya. Lahat ng pilit kong kinalimutan pumutok kasama ko kagabi.

"So what if it's scandalous? It is not as if it's the only scandalous thing happened in our family," Adi reasoned, eyeing Abe.

"We're already good, Adi. Huwag na tayong pumunta sa ikaw ang unang asawa ng asawa ko."

"I'm not going there, Abraham. I'm talking about dad marrying his bestfriend's ex-girlfriend, Ate Shas marrying her bodyguard. Our family is already troubled. Apollo making love with his ex-wife is nothing or getting back with her."
