KAIRO

While walking into the convenience store to buy that stupid pads for Eumi, I heard the police sirens coming from the nearest building where I just came from.

I just smirked and stared at them without any clue of what just happened.

"Stupid cops".I said in my mind.

Dumiretso na agad ako sa bahay nila Eumi, for sure she will give me a lot of her sermons again for buying her pads late. I just about to knock but someone already open the door.

"Bakit ngayon kalang?. Malalate na ako sa hospital"she said while her hands in her hips.

Yes you're right Eumi Crystal Salgado was a professional doctor while I Kairo Ezekel Nixon was professional painter.

I just stared at her with a blank expression visible in my face.

She's wearing a big t-shirt and a pajama with a matching messy hair where she almost looks like a garbage.

"Ano titingin tingin mo jan? "She said.

"Alam kung maganda ako no need to stare." She added before I can even react.

"Tsk". I said and rolled my eyes.

I entered their house immediately,putting the pads on the table and walked directly to the nearest sofa and grab some newspaper.

"Huyy!!" She shouted and looks like irritated.

"Nasa sofa yung pinabili mo" I said plainly.

"Next time don't bother calling me late at night just to buy you that filthy thing. Just call your boyfriend to buy you that"I added.

"Anong boyfriend pinagsasabi mo jan! Gusto mo talagang mataman sakin huh!" she annoyingly said.

I just sit peacefully on the sofa while reading and she just prepare herself for work upstairs in her room.

When I am in the midst of my reading I saw Eumi already standing infront of me ready to wear her doctor coat but before she wears it she said something na nagpatigil sakin sa pagbabasa.

"May patay na naman daw sabi ni papa" she said.

You hear it correctly her father was a police man in our town.

"The balut seller saw a dead man's body from that abandoned condominium somewhere at Abad Santos Avenue corner Bambang,Tondo."she added and successfully wears her coat.

Nanatili lang akong tahimik until she broke the silence and continue.

"At kanina lang daw nangyari,sabi daw sa imbestigasyon a man was being tortured first before the killer killed him and leave him in that scary building. It was very creepy right?"she said while intently looking at me.

"Okay ka lang?"sabi niya

"Yes" I answered.

"Kaya ikaw wag kanang magpaint ng gabi sa labas kasi delikado na ang panahon ngayon,yun pa naman yung habit mo. And speaking of painting I bought you that new sell of acrylic paint,para may ibang kulay naman ang mga painting mo yung hindi itim at pula lang."she said.

"What if one day you will hate me for loving red". I said out of nowhere.

"Huwawww naman poetic kana Kairo ah". She said while laughing.

Tumayo nalang ako at kinuha yung acrylic paint na binili niya sa table.

"Alis na ako may gagawin pa ako." I said to her.

But before I open the door she suddenly talked.

"Ano kasi Kairo"she sheepishly said.

I stared at her with a puzzled look until she speak again.

"Nabangga ko yung kotse ko hehe,ihatid mo muna ako"she said.

Napasinghap nalang ako bigla

"Stupid"I said in a whisper.

"Hey! Narinig ko yun". She said to me.

"Whatever,let's go" I coldly said.

While driving Eumi to the hospital wala siyang ibang bukambibig kundi ang mga pasyente niyang sakit sa ulo. While me, I just focus on driving hanggang sa nakarating kami sa hospital kung saan siya nagtatrabaho.

"Thank you,mag iingat ka" sabi niya

"K" I replied.

"K lang? Wala ka ng ibang sasabihin bukod dun?she asked annoyingly.

"2021 na Kairo uso na ang magsalita ng marami,palibhasa kasi gandang ganda kana sakin kaya pati bibig mo  napapatikom."she added confidently.

I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Alis nako,baka bumagyo sa kahanginan mo" I said. At agad na pinaharurot ang sasakyan ko bago pa siya magsalita.

Hanggang sa nakarating na ako sa bahay ko,as usual tahimik at madilim which I kinda liked. Agad agad akong nagbihis at humiga sa kama while looking at the moon thinking deeply.

If only people know how I felt.

If only they are wise enough to notice my long lost innocency than being naive and arrogant.

If only they can light up my darkest mind like how the moon did at night. But in this circumstances it's different and no one can hinder me to do what I wanted to do for a long time.

"I will find all of you and get my revenge. Wait for me because I'm just starting" I said in my mind before drifting off to sleep.
