DRAKE

Arrgh! My head hurts! That damn old geezer. I'll make him pay next time I'll see him. Lasingin ba naman ako. Aish.

I look at my wrist watch. Its already 7PM. I took out my phone and dialed Yuno's number. After a few rings, he picked it up.

[What do you want?!]

"Aish. Stop yelling. Mas lalong sumasakit ang ulo ko"

[Teka. Lasing ka ba? Bakit ganiyan ka magsalita?]

"Tch. Blame your old man. He did this to me! Arrgh!"

[Oh? Nilasing ka na naman ni Uncle Ben?]

"That's right! If he isn't our godfather, I'm really going to beat the hell out of him"

[Hahaha! So bakit ka napatawag? Busy ako at the moment.]

"Oh yeah. I'm here at the Velarde's Complex."

[And what are you doing there?]

"My house is far away. Sa flat mo muna ako matutulog. What's your room number?"

[Aish! Inistorbo mo ako para lang diyan? Its 316! Bye!]

He shouted before he hanged up the call. What the hell? Ano bang ginagawa niya at masyado yata siyang aburido? Tch.

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng condominium at agad na sumakay ng lift. Wait, ano nga uling floor niya? Ah, third nga pala.

Pagkarating ng third floor ay tumunog ang lift kaya lumabas na ako. Shit, what's his room number again? Is it 306? Am I right? 'Yun 'yung pagkakarinig ko eh. Hays.

Bakit kasi nagmamadali siyang ibaba ang tawag? Hindi ko masyadong naintindihan eh. Tch.

Dumeresto ako sa room 306. Pagpihit ko ng doorknob ay bukas na kaagad ito. Siguro binuksan niya na para hindi na ako kakatok. Ayaw niya talagang magpaistorbo ah. Psh.

Hmm. His flat smells nice. Kanino ko ba 'to naamoy dati? Ah, nevermind. Tinanggal ko ang suot kong coat pati necktie at nilapag iyon sa sofa.

Pumasok ako sa loob ng kwarto at deretsong humiga sa kama. Aah. This is one hell of a soft bed. Hmm.

Ilang minuto pa lang akong nakakatulog ng may biglang sumigaw sa gilid ko na nagpagising sa akin.

"HOY! WALANG HIYA KANG DEMONYO KA! ANONG GINAGAWA MO RITO SA KWARTO KO?!"

Is that little Ramses' voice? I slowly opened my eyes but I hardly see anything because the lights are off.

Tch. I really hate dark coz I can't see things clearly.

"Chiara? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked but she just wacked me with a pillow.

"Aw! That hurts!"

"Talagang masakit! Bakit ka nandito? Tsaka paano ka nakapasok?"

"Obviously, I enter the door"

"Haha! Nakakatawa. Alam mo bang pwede kitang kasuhan ng trespassing ha?!" saad niya sabay hampas na naman sa akin.

"Aw! Stop hitting me. Lalong sumasakit ang ulo ko sa ginagawa mo eh" suway ko kaya tumigil naman siya.
