"S-sorry I didn't mean to disturb you."
After saying that, I swiftly exited the room and shut the door. I couldn't help but to leave out a long sigh. Absent-mindedly, I was even about to walk away as I gave them the peace they deserve and such, but as soon as it dawned on me, I immediately hissed and raised my right eyebrows.
Excuse me? How dare them?
With heads held high, I made a twirl and went back to the direction of Zayde's room. I was just even about to touch the door knob, but a huge claws immediately grabbed me on both shoulders.
"H-hey, wait up!"
My eyes widened when the bird Alastor casually picked me up like I'm a sort of a robe he's been dying to throw outside the window! Literal niya akong inilipad sa may kahabaang hallway na maski ang kahit na anong pagpumiglas ay walang kakwenta kwenta.
Umabot kami sa sala sa first floor at kulang nalang talaga ay itapon niya ako sa sofa.
"Dude, what the hell is your problem?" I hissed and crossed my arms.
"Dude what the hell is your problem? Oh shut up. For tonight, just finish your entry at the library. All your writing kit was there already."
Napasinghal nalang talaga ako at pinasadahan ito ng tingin, habang kasalukuyang nakapatong sa de-kristal na coffee table.
"At bakit naman ako susunod sa 'yo?"
"Because your Lord tasked me to tasked you. Get it? It's basically to accommodate his ex wife and celebrate their anniversary but that's none of your business and why am I sharing this information in the first place? But anyway. You can go now to your designated area," seryoso niya lang na saad dahilan upang mapairap ako. Imbis na magtungo sa library na nasa first floor lang naman ay mas pinili ko ang malugmok sa sofa at bumusangot.
Kasi naman, hindi sa pakialamera ako pero ba't ba magse-celebrate pa sila ng anniversary eh hiwalay na naman pala sila? Saka talagang sa kwarto ni Zayde nila gagawin 'yong celebration? Anong klaseng kagaguhan 'yon?
Marahas akong napabuga ng hangin at sumandal pa sa kinauupuan. Hindi rin naman ako napapaisip ng ganito dahil nagseselos ako o ano. It's just that, I'm basically Zayde's roomate. (As twisted as it seem). And to think na hindi rin pala siya pupunta sa trabaho niya ngayon at magkasama sila sa iisang kwarto. Napaka bastos lang sa part ko ano.
I mean, saan nila ako balak patulugin pagkatapos kong makapagsulat aber? Dito lang sa sala?
"Ugh! I hate him! Didn't he consider the fact that I'm high maintenance? I can only sleep in a soft and comfy king size bed with air conditioned room!" Napapadyak ako sa kinauupuan at balak na sananag magdabog pa ngunit bahagya namang natigilan nang marinig bahgayang pagtawa ng Alastor na 'to na akala mo naman nakikipagbiruan ako.
"Why are you laughing?" pataray kong saad at sinamaan ito ng tingin.
"Because you couldn't even care less if your Lord can possibly sleep with another girl. You only care about yourself."
Napasinghal ako. "You're just now figuring that out? Well, Zayde isn't even my Lord to begin with. You're just the one who keep saying that and kept acting like I should worship him with all my might. But duh, I won't."
Once again, the bird left out a chuckle, but this time it was more sarcastic.
"Hindi ka parin talaga nagbabago."
With that, agad akong mapakurap kurap. "What do you mean?"
