Chapter 20: Mr. Drewman

Eros’ Point of View

Sobra ang galit na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Alexa is now dating with someone. Galit na galit ako ngayong tumitingin sa kanila rito.

“Dude, chill ka lang diyan.” Wika ni Lence sa akin at sabay ipinatong ang kamay niya para masahihin ang likod ko. “I want to kill that man. I just don't want to see his face with my girl!” Sabi ko sa kanya na nakatuon lamang ang atensyon ko sa dalawa.

My heads is getting burst. Puputok na ang ulo ko dahil sa sobrang galit. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ikinagalit ni Alex sa'kin. I don't know either why she was not searching for me since lately. May ginawa ata akong masama sa kanya.

“Wait, wait, wait!” Sabay-sabay na wika nilang tatlo at saka hinila ang kamay at likod ko para mapabalik sa kanila. “Sa'n ka pupunta? Chill ka lang diyan, dude. May araw din sa atin iyan.” Sabi naman ni Lerion habang tinatapik-tapik 'yong likuran ko.

“Could you please stop doing that. I'll just make a call with Mr. Drewman.” Ani ko rito sa kanila kaya ilang sigundo pa lang simula noong masabihan ko sila ay tumigil na ang mga ito. “Okay, okay.” Sabi ni Ellex dito.

I took a few steps away from them. I just want to call Mr. Drewman about this. Kailangan kong humingi ng mga panibagong plano tungkol dito.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko rito sa aking bulsa and started to make a call. I am waiting for Mr. Drewman to pick up his phone and answer my call.

Mr. Drewman is a secret detective agent and a wealthy man. He messaged me on my g-mail account. He challenges me to do this game and Alexa was the victim.

Honestly I never met Mr. Drewman until now. We only communicate through internet or calls. Kaya mahirap gawin 'yong mga pinapagawa niya sa'kin. 'Yong mga bagay na kailangan kong gawin ay nandito lamang sa cellphone ko. But in this case, wala sa plano na magkaroon ng kadate si Alexa sa lalaki rito sa isla.

“My man, why are you calling me?” He said in the other line. “Alexa is having a date right now. She's with someone!” Galit na ani ko rito sa kanya.

“Calm down and take a breath, Eros. That's not the problem here.”  Kalmang wika ni Mr. Drewman sa'kin. “So what's the plan?” I asked him quickly. I can't wait to know his answer.

“What did you promise to Alexa? Just do it right now.” Napa-isip ako sa sinabi niya sa'kin. I didn't remember anything. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ipinangako ko kay Alexa. “Naalala mo na ba ang lahat, Eros?” Ani niya ulit dito sa telepono ngunit hindi ko pa rin maalala.

“I can't remember, Mr. Drewman.” I said and excitingly waiting for the answer. “Just tell me right away.” I added.

“Hindi mo dapat itong kinakalimutan, Eros because you are in a game. You have to put this on your mind so that if ever there is someone who will do it. You'll know what you have to do next.” Sabi niya sa'kin and still I couldn't remember the thing I promised to Alexa. “Then what is it?” I asked Mr. Drewman.

“If someone touches her body---” Hindi ko na pinatapos sa pagsasalita si Mr. Drewman. Naalala ko na ang linyang iyan kaya agad akong nagsalita sa linya. “Death will be their enemy.” Mahinang sabi ko sa kanya.

“Good boy.” Sabi niya rito. “Thank you for reminding me that line. I almost forgot my purpose.” Sabi ko sa kanya at sabay ibinaba na niya ang tawag ko.

Now, I know what I can do to that man. Alam ko na ngayon ang gagawin ko sa kanya. I smiled bitterly --- looking at Alex and the guy she is with. Alexa is my property and I do promise to her na walang sino man ang makakalapit at makakahawak sa kanya.
