CHAPTER FIVE

IT HAS been a week since Charles went MIA in LUST DAWN. Ilang beses na ring tinanong ni Angelo sila Narae at Anurak about him but the answers stayed the same. They do not know.

Hindi tuloy sigurado ni Angelo kung dapat na ba siyang mag-alala sa lagay ng lalakeng gusto niya o kakalma muna siya at baka talagang busy lang ito sa trabaho. Whatever it is, I still want to know where he is.

Tatawagan na sana ni Angelo ang kapatid niya para magtanong nang biglang mag-ring ang phone niya. Sakto namang si Wynter ang tumatawag kaya agad niya itong sinagot.

"Hola, hermanita."

(Buenos dias, hermano. How are you at LD? Are you busy?)

"Estas bien, hermanita. We get so busy sometimes, especially since you guys have a lot of potential members."

(Mmm-hmm. That's good but at the same time disappointing.)

"Why is that?"

(I was gonna ask a favor. About handling Heaven Taste in the meantime? My schedule got busy—)

"Sure, I'll fly there tomorrow morning."

(Oh god! Thank you so much! I'm really sorry for disturbing you—)

Angelo chuckled. "Hey, it's fine. It's fine. Medyo bored na rin naman ako rito eh. By the way, do you know where Charles is? I heard you two are the closest," hindi niya napigilang tanungin.

Saglit namang natahimik si Wynter. (Why... are you asking?)

Angelo shrugged. "Just curious."

Bahagya namang nagtaka si Angelo sa tagal ng katahimikan ng nasa kabilang linya.

"Emy? Are you still there?"

(Y-Yeah... Just got busy... with the files and all. I'm sorry, what was your question again?)

Nag-alangan naman si Angelo bago ulit magtanong. "Alam mo ba kung nasaan si Charles?"

(Ahh... Nope, but I'm sure he's just busy with his business. That's all.)

Mas nakampante naman si Angelo dahil sa sinabi ng kapatid. I don't have to worry that much. He's just probably busy with his schedule just like Emy.

"Thanks, Emy. By the way, kumusta ka? I haven't heard anything from you in a while."

(Typical days, hermano. Just tons of work for me.)

"How are you and your boyfriend—"

(Oh, we broke up.)

Agad namang natigilan si Angelo. He didn't know how to react. He knew that his sister never wanted to be in a relationship kaya naman nagulat siya nang sabihin nitong may boyfriend na ito. And now, this?

"Are... you okay?"

(Oh, I'm fine. I'm aware of everything, remember? I knew it'll end up just like that.)

Angelo searched for words to say to his younger sister, but he can't seem to find one that fits the situation.

He heard the person on the other line sigh. (I'm okay, hermano. Don't worry too much. Basta remember, I need you here for Heaven Taste—)

"But I'll also come home for you, okay? You can let it all out once I'm hugging you."

(Sí, hermano. Muchas gracias.)
