Flademian Monarchy 1: Drive Myself Crazy Be (Completed) [Unedited] R-13

XII

Napakaaga pa pero heto ako at binubulahaw ng dalawang 'to. Apparently, nakahanap si Mason ng bagong niyang kukulitin sa katauhan ni Gerard. Simula ng binigyan siya nito ng baril ay halos hindi na sila nito mapaghiwalay. Ako pa ang mistulang stranger sa aming tatlo.

"Kumain ka na ba?" Tanong ni Mason.

"Hin-" hindi ko pa man din natapos ang sasabihin ko ng ilapag ni Mason ang plato na punong-puno ng pancake sa harap ni Gerard.

"Nasan na yung para sa kin?!" Yamot na tanong ko dahil gutom na rin ako.

"Nandun, magluto ka" sabi pa ng walanghiyang si Mason habang nilalagyang syrup ang pancake ni Gerard.

"Ayan, tikman mo na!" Excited pa syang patikman ang niluto nya. Hudas talaga.

"Gago ka, bahay ko to ah! Bakit hindi mo din ako pinagluto?" Naasar na ako.

"Ito naman, selos agad. Jinu-joke lang naman kita. Halika Wil, gusto mo subuan pa kita. Mukha kasing sobrang gutom 'tong si Boy kano kaya inuna ko na siya. Pa-thank you ko lang sa kanya sa gift niya sa akin." pagaamo pa sa kin ni Mason.

Mukhang wala namang pakialam si Gerard sa paligid, bagkos tahimik lang niyang nilalantakan ang pancake ng ibinigay sa kaniya ni Mason.

"So, did you like it ha boy kano?" Tanong ni Mason.

"It was good. Natalie's pancakes are still the best for me." sabi naman ni Gerard.

"Natalie, sino yun? Jowa mo?" Tanong ulit ni Mason. Ngumiti lang si Gerard at umiling.

"She's the best woman that I've ever known." muli ay makabuluhang sabi ni Gerard at tumango na lang si Mason.

"Baka nga jowa niya yun. Ayaw lang niyang sabihin." Bulong sa akin ni Mason ang dumiretso sa sala.

Tinignan kong muli si Gerard. He's just casually smiling at nothing in particular. Yung tipo ng ngiti na alam mong may tinatago pero hindi mo mawari kung ano. Napakunot ang noo ko. I'm still looking at him suspiciously,

"What?" Takhang tanong niya. I looked at him straight in to the eyes, trying to figure out what's up pero wala. I've gone through years of training, dapat alam ko kung may inililihim sya sa akin o wala pero wala talaga akong mabasa sa kanya.

Those deep blue eyes, alam kong nakita ko na ang mga matang iyon. Not the color, but how the way those eyes look. Parang merong mahika, hindi ko alam. All I know is, mayroon siyang hindi sinasabi sa amin.

"You're always giving me riddles Mr. Wright. Tell me something about your family. Your mom, what is she like? Anong naging trabaho ng tatay mo? Paano ka nauwi sa pagiging gang lord? Tell me anything." Matapang na sabi ko. Hindi ko kasi talaga gusto ang pakiramdam na walang alam.

I know I sounded desperate pero kailangan kong malaman para na rin matahimik na ako. Instead of answering my questions ay nginisian lang niya ako.

"You are a very smart person Wil. The first time I met you, I already know that you are trust worthy even though sometimes your are really a pain in the arse. But to answer some of your questions sige, my mom was a soldier. Navy Seal. And she met this young handsome, rich, powerful guy. He promised her everything and one day he just left. Mom didn't know that she was pregnant with me and my sister.."

He has a sister? A twin?

".... I didn't get a chance to meet my father personally. I know him as everyone in his surroundings know him. He is indeed a very powerful man as I can see. I saw him with his family, he's very happy. He doesn't deserve that. After what he did to my mother. He doesn't deserve that happiness. Mom got sick, at the young age I learned how to steal things. Pick-pocketing was our way of living. I didn't had much of a choice back then. I have to earn for my family. Until Uncle Mark adopted me..."
