CHRIS

"My son. The company needs you. Are you willing to take it back?"

Napangiti siya at umayos ng pagkakaupo. It is quite a turn of events and he doesn't want to miss a single moment of it. "What's the catch? I need to leave, August? I have already made a choice and I will stand by my decision."

"You ungrateful bastard! Is this how are you going to treat me? I am the reason why you are alive! I am your mother and you are choosing that gay whore over me? How dare you!?" galit nitong sigaw mula sa kabilang linya. He can picture out his mom's face right now.

Napahigpit ang kamay niya na hawak ang cellphone. "Don't you dare insult the love of my life and –" the mother of my child! Pinigil niya ang sarili na maibulgar sa ina ang pagbubuntis ni August. She doesn't deserve to know it, and he fears what she will do once she knows a thing about August's pregnancy.

"And your what?"

"Nothing. Don't ever call me again. I no longer care about the company. I don't care whether the sales are on the drain or the company is going into bankruptcy. I made a choice and you made yours. I am happy with August in our simple life and I don't need you ruining it."

Rinig niya ang malalim nitong paghinga mula sa kabilang linya. "You are just like your father! You never appreciate that I am doing all of these for the two of you."

"Don't compare me with dad. I never asked you to do all of it." galit na rin niyang usal. Kinokontrol lamang niya ang lakas ng kanyang boses. Ayaw niyang magising si August. "But you overstepped your line the moment you insulted and dragged August into this mess."

"But that faggot of yours cause all of these! Nawalan ka ng pokus sa kompanya dahil sa kanya!"

"FUCK YOU!" hindi niya napigilang mura dito. Napuno ng kakaibang pagkasuklam ang kanyang dibdib sa pagtawag nito ng pangalan kay August. Nagdidilim ang kanyang paningin sa kakaibang galit. He wanted to punch something. "Listen here, mom while I still respect you. Don't ever call again. I will never go back to that goddamn company."

Sandali siyang tumigil para pakalmahin ang sarili.

"By the look of it, the company needs me more than I need it." may ngiti niyang usal. "Why come asking for my help, mother? You have a lot of sharks by your side, use them, or are you now realizing that they are useless?"

A single satisfying laugh left his mouth.

"You will regret this, Chris! I will make sure of it." gigil nitong banta.

"So far, I am not regretting anything." aniya. "Oh and a little reminder, mother. Don't even dare to touch August."

Hindi na niya ito hinintay pang makatugon at binabaan na ito ng tawag. Nanginginig pa rin ang kamao niya sa galit. He never thought that he could be that protective to others. Pero kapag si August na at ang kanilang anak ang pinag uusap, napapraning na siya. He will risk and do everything just to keep them safe and happy.

Nagsalin siya ng alak sa kanyang baso. Halos mapuno na niya iyon sa rim bago inisang tungga. Ang plano niya na sana ay uminom lamang para makatulog ay nauwi sa pagkaubos niya sa isang bote. Napangiti siya habang tahimik na nakaupo sa kanilang hapag. Nasira man ng kanyang ina ang gabi niya. Masaya pa rin siya sa kaalamang lalaki ang kanilang magiging panganay dahil iyon naman ang gusto ni August.

Apat na taon pa nila bago susundan si Pancake pero susubukan niyang salisihan ang kanyang babe. Hihikayatin niya itong huwag mag pills at magko-condom na lamang siya at kapag nabuntis niya ito, he will blamed it on a broken condom. It already happened to him a lot of times, before he will stop immediately but with his babe it will be a big no. May nakakalokong ngiti na nabuo sa kanyang labi. Para siyang baliw na nakangiti ng mag isa pero hindi niya mapigilan.
