Ruckus Crown

Chapter 27

NAKAGAT NI Sunset ang pang-ibabang labi habang nakatanaw sa labas ng bintana ng silid ni Ruckus.

Mahigit isang linggo na itong hindi umuuwi mula noong gabing umalis ito matapos ang pag-uusap nila sa opisina nito. Mula ng araw na iyon naman ay isang beses siyang dinalaw ni Kale na hindi niya hinarap, dala ang baby at kasama rin ang asawa nito na nag-iwan ng regalo at liham para sa kanya na hindi niya pa binubuksan.

It was mean of her not to face them but she's not ready for any dramas. She has an idea of what the talk will be about and she can't imagine herself in it. It is cringing just to imagine herself sitting there, getting sorry and thanks or whatever softy talk.

Sunset tapped her feet on the floor and then blows an impatient sigh. She really wants Ruckus to go home already.

Damn... Where are you, Ruck? Death is looking for you and I'm worried...

Sana umuwi na ito. Miss niya na ang binata at hindi rin siya makatulog sa gabi. Nasanay na siyang katabi ito lagi. Sinanay siya ng gago. That asshole should take responsibility for what he made her feel but damn him for not doing that. Fuck him too for not informing her he'll be gone for a while.

Sunset huffed as she's getting impatient waiting for the bastard to come home and she have no means to contact him. Death tried to call him but that buffoon didn't take the call. And then after a few more tries, his phone was already unattended.

Kumunot ang noo niya nang may maalala saka siya lumabas ng silid ni Ruckus at pumunta sa sarili niyang silid na katapat lang din ng silid ng binata.

She opened the drawer that was placed beside her bed and took the phone Ruckus gave her. It's been ages since she use it for she doesn't really go outside so she don't need phone. Minsan niya lang maalala na may cellphone pala siya. Kung wala ka talagang pamilya o kaibigan na pwedeng tawagan hindi mo kailangan ang cellphone kaya't nakalimutan niya na may cellphone pala siya.

Kinabit niya iyon sa charger at isinaksak sa saksakan dahil lowbat na iyon. Ilang sandali siyang naghintay bago niya iyon nabuksan at agad niyang hinanap ang numero ni Ruckus at tinawagan ito.

Inip siyang sumandal sa drawer habang hinihintay na magrung ang cellphone nito. Pero tulad ng mga nagdaang araw ay unattended parin iyon. Napahilamos siya ng mukha sa kaya nagtipa ng mensahe sa lalaki. She's hoping he will turn on his phone and see her message.

Mon chéri
Go home asshole before I sell your house. I miss you. And Death is looking for you.

Inilapag niya ang cellphone saka hindi na hinintay ang reply nito at lumabas ulit ng silid niya para dalhan si Death ng pagkain sa silid nito dahil busy ito sa pag-aaral.

Nang maihanda ang pagkain ni Death na inorder lang din niya ay dinala niya iyon sa silid nito.

"Death, I'm coming in with your food!" Sunset shouted to inform Death.

"You can come in, mom!" Death shouted.

Sa narinig ay pumasok siya at inilapag sa coffee table ang pagkain nito.

"You have a break?" Tanong niya nang makitang nakaupo ito sa upuan nito sa harap ng mesa at tamad na nakasandal habang nakapikit.

"Yeah, I have thirty minutes." Tumayo ito at lumapit sa kanya. "When is Dad coming home?"

Sunset shrugged. "He's still being an ass so I don't know."

"What did you do anyway?" Naupo ito sa sofa.

"Nothing much other than bruising his ego a bit." Sunset sighed as she knew she didn't just bruise Ruckus's ego but hurt him.

"Oh." Tumaas ang gilid ng labi nito. "Didn't know Dad get two that day."
