Azhton's POV
I just found myself heading to the bar I owned for a visitation. It's just six in the evening and it's quite dark.
As I stepped in at the bar, my eyes is suddenly locked up to...Az.
What the fuck is he doing?!
"Damn." A light cuss came from my mouth when I saw my manager who immediately catch him when he was about to fall on the ground.
Fuck! What happened to him?
Lumapit ako sa kanila saka tinulungan si Dion—my manager —na alalayan si Az. He's drunk that he can't even balance his self.
"It's good that you came on a right time, Azhton. Kanina ko pa siya pinipigilan pero ayaw magpaawat." napakunot-noo ako sa sinabi ni Dion.
"What do you mean by 'kanina', Dion?"
"What I mean is, kanina pa siya nandito. One in the afternoon I guess? He's been drinking for almost six hours now and I'm trying to stop him pero ayaw talaga magpaawat."
Napatingin naman ako kay Az na ngayon ay nakasubsob sa counter. I knew there's a deep reason why he's being like this.
"Leave us first, Dion." utos ko sa kanya na sinunod naman agad.
Tiningnan ko ng maigi si Az.
Why the heck isn't he sharing his problem to us? Is he really sure that drinking can ease and lessen the pain? Alcoholic drinks are not helping. It's just reminding you of the pain you wanted to escape. It's just wakening your emotions.
Can a bottles of vodka can solve his problems? Can a tequilas can comfort him?! Can a Cognac and Bourbon can give him an advice? Tsk!
"L-leave me a-alone. *hik*" matigas niyang sabi sabay inom ng natira niyang Scotch. Hinayaan ko lang siya hanggang sa maubos niya ito.
"Spill." sabi ko saka kinuha ang isang bote ng vodka na tutunggain pa niya sana. Sinamaan naman niya ako ng tingin pero nang nilabanan ko ang tingin niya ay agad naman siyang napaiwas. Tsk!
"What's the reason behind of this shit, Az?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Y-you don't n-need *hik* to k-know."
I just tsked sa katigasan ng ulo niya.
If he'll not going to tell me, then I'll make him. Now that he's drunk, I'm sure that his emotions are already waked up.
"Masakit?" Nakita kong nagulat siya sa pagtanong ko. Tsk.
I knew that I show no care to others but when it comes to my love ones, it's a different story.
"M-masakit? H-haha. *hik* A-alangan namang m-masarap."
Napaface-palm nalang ako sa sinabi niya. Tuluyan ko nalang kaya 'to? Walang kwenta eh. Tsk!
"Gaano kasakit?" Sa tanong kong 'to ay napatingin siya sakin. His eyes were full of sadness and pain. I can't see any hope on it.
Did he already lose hope?
"P-painful..." He said then let out a sad smile. "P-painful t-that I w-want to be l-lifeless." Kasabay ng pagsabi niya ay ang pagpatak ng luha sa mga mata niya.
"I-it f-fucking h-hurts *hik* that I-I can't e-even b-breath." Tuluyan na siyang humagulgol habang ako ay tulala lang na nakatingin sa kanya.
What. The. Fuck.
H-He's crying.
"I-I saw h-her..." He said while sobbing. "K-kissing a-another g-guy."
