Soul 16: Chains

"Don't you want to end their madness?"

AVERY

Malakas na tumatawa ako. He was again stuck on his bathroom because of this so called "call of nature". Everyday, we were like this and this caused him to be in a very bad mood. He was frowning. Namumula ang mukha at tainga niya dahil sa pagkainis sa 'kin. He's mad and embarrassed at the same time.

"Lumabas na ba Zirrius? Ang tagal naman. Mukhang nahihiya pa yata," natatawang sabi ko sa kanya. Mariing napahilamos siya sa mukha dahil sa pagkainis. Naiinis na inalis niya ang kamay sa mukha at mariing nagsalita. "Pwede ba hayaan mo akong mag-concentrate. Give me peace!"

"Gusto mo pala ng solemn eh. Sana nagpatutugtog ka ng mabagal na musika para feel na feel mo," natatawang pang-aasar ko pa.

"Can't you just shut up for a while? Parang hindi mo 'to ginagawa," naiinis na sabi niya. Malakas akong tumawa. He was really mad. His head was already aching. He suddenly want to get rid of me.

"Huwag ka ng mahiya, baby. Wala ka na namang maitatago sa 'kin. Nakita ko na ang lahat," natatawang sagot ko sa kanya. He hissed with annoyance. "What are you planning to do now?" tanong ko na lang sa kanya habang tinatapos niya ang ginagawa niya.

"I want to know how to seal you," nakasimangot na sagot niya sa 'kin. My soul frowned. "Ano ka ba? Bahala ka! Mami-miss mo ko. Wala ka ng karamay sa mga ganitong pagkakataon. Alam ko naman na mahirap talagang maglabas ng sama ng loob. Naiintindihan kita. Nandito ako upang damayan ka," nakangising saad ko sa kanya. This was one of the things I enjoyed while staying inside his body. Natutuwa ako kapag nakikita ang sobrang pamumula ng mukha niya kapag nahihiya siya at naiinis. I really enjoy this moment. Hindi na niya binangggit muli ang mga bagay na napag-usapan namin. HIndi na rin siya nagtanong kaya nagpapasalamat ako.

"Hindi ko kailangan ng karamay. Kaya ko 'to nang mag-isa!" naiinis na sabi niya. Mas lalo akong tumawa nang malakas.

"No man is an island," natatawang sabi ko.

"Ano'ng koneksiyon niyan sa pinag-uusapan natin?" kunot-noong tanong niya.

"Wala lang. May masabi lang. You know, I just want to waste your time," natatawang sabi ko. Naiinis na muling napahilamos siya sa kanyang mukha. Nang matapos siya ay dumiretso na siya sa shower upang maligo. This was one of his habits and I was already getting used to it. Pagkatapos nito ay kakain na siya ng almusal.

"Mukhang hindi na talaga ako inosente dahil araw-araw kong nakikita ang katawan mo," natatawang sabi ko sa kanya. He sighed heavily. His breathing became unsteady. Just the thought of someone was watching him made him arouse. Oops! Maybe I should stop right now. Baka maisipan pa niyang puntahan si Liana kapag hindi siya nakapagpigil. He breathed in and out to control himself. He didn't answer me but instead bit his lower lip and shut his eyes tightly. He was too sexy while doing it. I hate to admit but I love the sight of him this way. It's like I wanted to tease him more but I don't want for his inner beast to take over. Dahil alam kong wala akong maibibigay na tulong sa kanya. He had only one option and that was Liana. I don't want to push him to Liana so I better shut up.
